Are you STUCK???

How often do you wonder, how long you will remain in bad habits, thoughts, and choices? We truly do have the power to change, but sometimes don't realize how to get there. James Allen said,

"As a progressive and evolving being, man is where he is that he may learn that he may grow; and as he learns the spiritual lesson which any circumstance contains for him, it passes away and gives place to other circumstances.

"Man is buffeted by circumstances so long as he believes himself to be the creature of outside conditions, but when he realizes that he is a creative power, and that he may command the hidden soil and seeds of his being out of which circumstances grow, he then becomes the rightful master of himself."

Even with no tools, except what's between our ears, and beating in our chests, we can choose how we act and feel about our circumstances. But it is so much easier when we do have techniques to simplify the process. And EFT is one of those techniques. It makes it easier to get through the things that have a tendency to sideline us. I am so glad when I hurt, I can tap. When I am angry, I can tap. When I can't get a thought out of my head, I can tap. When I can't sleep, I can tap. When I just can't "get over it", I can tap. What an awesome tool. And you can use it for that too. If you want to know how, just ask me.

FAQ

dawn — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:56:10 +0000

Fairly regularly I get some variation of the same questions below. Recently a college student contacted me and asked me if she could ask some questions for an essay she was writing on EFT. Here were her questions.

What training is required in becoming an EFT practitioner? Where can training be given? What's the cost?

What's a typical EFT session like, and how much is the cost?

How do you market your practice? What's the typical salary of an EFT practitioner? What skills are needed to be successful?

Who hires practitioners?

What are the benefits of EFT?

Could you tell me about a patient who has benefited from your treatment.

What's your favorite part of being an EFT practitioner? What's the most challenging?

Is there anything else I could learn about EFT?

Here are my answers:

Great questions.

Training: Technically there is no training required. That has actually created some problems, but the certifying bodies who offer trainings have made that harder because the training DVDs that used to be available, are no longer available, unless you sign up for trainings from those groups. There are 3 certifying organizations that I am aware of. I am certified through 2 and renewing my certification with ACEP. ACEP, www.energypsych.org is what I would consider the "official" certifying body. It is run by Tina Craig, Gary Craig's daughter. Gary is the founder of what he called EFT. There is also an England certifying body, AAMET, http://www.aamet.org/. Finally, there is the group that took over Gary's website when he retired a few years ago due to a heart attack. www.eftuniverse.com. But in addition to that, are the EFT Masters all trained by Gary, who have their own trainings and certifications. www.eftmastersworldwide.com Each site has their own info and pricing for training. The reason I consider the ACEP program to be "official" is because Tina is running it and she and her dad have established what they feel EFT really is. All other groups (and there are many more than the ones I've named) have broken off from Gary's original training.

A typical EFT session is anything but typical, except for the fact that the technique is basically the same for any problem. It make the process elegant and simple. Anyone can learn it, but trained practitioners have much higher success rates than the beginner. A "session" typically lasts 60-90 minutes. The price might be anywhere from $60 an hour to several hundred. There is no set rate. Often times, practitioners will offer a guarantee so that if you are not satisfied all or a portion of the money paid may be refunded. So with a new client, there is typically some explanation and demonstration. But most of my clients come from my free classes, so they have seen the process. The practitioner may spend some time questioning the client on what their expectation or intention is and what problem they are bringing that day. That may range in anything from pain, to emotional hurts, to mental blocks, to physical symptoms, to addiction, to personal limitations, and more. Then the practitioner uses that information to begin the process and methodically work through the issue presented. Results are often immediate and dramatic, but depending on the person and situation may be more subtle and need several sessions.

I market my practice mostly online and through my local classes. Having said that, there is no typical. The sky is the limit. But a full time practitioner could expect to make anywhere from $1200-$2000 a week depending on their hourly or per session charge. There are many, many part time practitioners. I am one of them. Skills needed is probably subjective. I would say, a good listener, empathetic, professional, flexible, non-judgmental, intelligent, and someone who has worked on and resolved their own "issues."

Not sure what you mean by who hires practitioners. Practitioners run the gamut of all walks of life. Some are Drs, some are licensed psychiatrists and psychologists. Some are counselors in other mental health professions, some are educators. And all of them have had a wide variety of clients who have hired them. Either way, EFT is gaining momentum and now being recognized by many official organizations.

The benefits of EFT. Well, how many hours do you have? Go to eftuniverse.com and sign up for their website or go to their archives and read past newsletters. Or just look at my site and read some of my testimonials and experiences. Improved physical symptoms. Better mental function. Lessening of negative emotions and strengthening of positive emotions. In my experience, EFT over time when persistent, helps to create a more peaceful, positive outlook on life, and allows the true individual to emerge, free from the burdens that typically weigh you down and prevent you from achieving all you can be.

Here are several of my experiences with EFT. Choose any one you like. I could give you dozens more.

The magic wand link above tells my favorite part about EFT. When someone is really in distress-pain, trauma, emotional hurt, it is amazingly gratifying that I can do something to help. Rather than do as I used to do and sit there feeling like I wish I could help, but not being able to do anything but just be as supportive as possible. Unfortunately, KNOWING I can help, and people ASKING for help, are two different things.

I recently had a friend who came out of back surgery and could have no pain medication because of her reaction to them. I cannot begin to tell you how desperate she was for help and when I saw her, how desperate I was to relieve her pain or help her. Even though I have had literally hundreds of successes, I was still shocked that she went from off the chart unbearable pain, to total comfort and relaxation. You could tell she was in shock. Her whole body shaking. And in probably only 15 minutes, she had relaxed completely and fallen asleep. Her tearful family was so grateful for her relief. It was truly relief for all. NOTHING feels better than that. Or when my 11 year old boy has a migraine and I take him to my darkened room and in literally less than five minutes he is relaxed and falls asleep, rather than writhing in agony for an hour or more, what relief for him and me as his mother! See, I could go on forever. You get the point.

The most challenging part of EFT is coming to expect that everything can and will resolve in minutes or under an hour. It happens a majority of the time. So, when suddenly you really have to dig, and look deeper, and unlock other doors and really WORK??? at a solution? Well that just doesn't seem right. LOL. That probably sounds weird, but it's true. But that part of it makes me a better practitioner, so it's all good.

Trauma

dawn — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 05:58:28 +0000

Fascinating information on what the brain does with trauma. I can say from experience that EFT can absolutely help with trauma. It's a true gift to be able to let go of grief, fear, and overwhelm easily. Will it remove it all? No, but it will only leave the appropriate emotions for the experience. All trauma and excess grief can lift and healing can happen how it should.

What is EFT?

dawn — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 00:47:49 +0000

Quick, easy, painless, do it yourself healing. What do you have to lose?

Based on the ancient principles of acupuncture, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body’s energy system, without the discomfort of needles. Unlike other energy healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits.

Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our body. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions, like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world…until we heal that disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often remove the resulting symptoms.

"Try it on everything." EFT can be used on any physical, emotional, or even spiritual issue. Give it a try. If you're like me, you'll find it life changing. Choose a challenge. Make an appointment. Results guaranteed. For more info, click on my FREE page.

I am not a licensed physician or psychiatrist. I am a teacher and a consultant and I use EFT with clients to target and address stress in the body. I cannot and do not diagnose, nor do I guarantee you will have excellent results though typically the average person can get 50-70% success with their own use. If it's not working, it may just mean there are techniques you don't know. That's where I can help.

Unconventional use of EFT

Unexpected Success – Bowling

A few years ago I took my family bowling. The bowling alley here in Brigham City was giving away a turkey to anyone who bowled 3 strikes in a row. So, off we went to try our luck. Now, I am not a serious bowler; throughout my life, I have probably gone bowling about once a year … maybe less. I usually bowl somewhere between 100 and 120. If I get over 120, it is a good game for me – if I get into the 130's – that's a really good game.

So, getting three strikes in a row wasn't likely – I might get 2 or 3 strikes in a game, but not in a row. In my first frame, I knocked over 8 pins, not bad. But I thought about how fun it would be to win a turkey and I decided to try some EFT. On my next turn, as I held the ball in my right hand, I tapped with my left hand on the face points and repeated in my mind, This fear of not making a strike.

It took a little over five seconds to tap through that. This time I bowled a spare (meaning I knocked all the pins over in two tries), but was only one pin away from getting a strike. Each turn for the rest of the game, I went through the same tapping process. The next frame I bowled a strike! But on my next turn two frames I bowled a spare – I needed three strikes in a row.

I was feeling pretty good about my game at this point; I was on track to an above-average score for me. Then the next frame I bowled a strike, and the following frame I bowled another strike! At this point I did a little tapping before my next turn, there was a little pressure because I was going for the turkey on this one. I tapped on Fear of messing up the third strike ” fear of not getting a strike. I also tapped five seconds or so after I picked up my ball. And sure enough, I got a third strike!

I was so excited, I yelled loud enough for everyone in the bowling alley to hear me, "I won a turkey!" My wife and kids all gave me high fives. I ran over to the desk and had all the bowling alley employees give me a high five, there were some friends of mine several lanes down, I ran over to them and had them give me high fives. So, the next time I got the ball I tapped again, and I got another strike! Four in a row! And then I got another strike, and another one, and another one! Seven strikes in a row by the time the game ended. I bowled a 236, 100 points beyond what I thought would be a really good game. Our friends even asked me to come bowl on their lane so I could help them win a turkey. On their lane, I bowled another strike.

However, I started having some uncertainty because I didn't think the bowling alley wanted me to win a turkey for other people – thus the next frame I ended the streak with a spare. I excused that by saying, "The ball slipped from my fingers," which it had, but I am almost certain it was because of those inner doubts about winning a turkey for someone else that I "sabotaged" it.

As I look at what allowed me to have this unexpected success, the first thing was I thought about how fun it would be to win a turkey. I wasn’t worried about embarrassing myself by not winning a turkey, I had nothing to loose. If I bowled my usual game and didn’t win a turkey, so what? Not a concern. But the idea of winning a turkey just felt really fun, and that raised my vibration.

Something I wasn’t not consciously aware of at the time was that when I considered bowling a turkey, and the idea “felt fun”, at some level I saw myself winning the turkey, and believed it enough that I felt the fun sensation, I felt my vibration raise. If I had seen it in my minds eye with absolutely no belief, it would not have created that fun emotion, I would have felt doubt, or stress, or possibly nothing. But given that the idea felt fun, at some level I saw it happening and enjoyed that experience before it happened. This was not at a conscious level; if you asked me, “Do you think you can bowl a turkey?” I probably would have answered, “I don’t know, never have, but it would be fun.”

Then I used EFT to help calm me and remove fear of not getting a strike. These two things helped me bowl a spare, a strike, and then two more spares. This was really good for me, and my excitement level rose, I was doing good! The bowling pins were always willing to cooperate, they always obeyed the laws of physics. As I raised my vibration with more joy and excitement, and the bowling pins yielded and began falling down every time I rolled the ball down the lane. Everything came together in support of this higher energy.

Something else interesting is that I had not set a goal to bowl eight strikes in a row. I simply thought about how fun it would be to win turkey, removed my fear of not making a strike, and the results were much better than I would have considered possible. People attach a lot of unnecessary conditions to success; they think they have to work hard for long periods of time, they have to stress, they have to practice a lot. Now, I have to be careful here, I am not saying we shouldn’t practice or work hard, but in the end that is not what is most important in success. Loving what you are doing and enjoying what you are doing is much more important for your success than your work ethic or your skill level. I had not done my due diligence to bowl eight strikes in a row; I had not been working hard, I had not been practicing, I did not have the skill level to do that. I only thought of it after I started bowling. But in that moment when I unwittingly raised my vibration by imagining how fun it would be and removed all fear, everything came together for me. All the elements honored this higher vibration; even the elements of my body led me to send the ball down the lane at a skill level far above my own. So, whatever we are we are working towards in life, we need to make sure we are loving the present moment, excited about what we are doing in the present moment, and look forward with hope. We may not know exactly what the results will be, in fact we need to be completely unattached as to what the results will be. When we are in a state of love and joyful anticipation, enjoying the present moment, unattached to what the results will be, things turn out better than we could possibly plan or orchestrate on our own. All things are possible!

Something else that is interesting is that since this I bowled 8 strikes in a row, I have gone bowling maybe a half a dozen times. I used ascribe my success to the fact that I had tapped on ‘fear of not making a strike’ before each turn. However, each of the times since then my score has been back to where it was before, somewhere between 100 and 120, even though I tapped in much the same way. How come I wasn’t able to repeat the success?

First, I worried about failure, I felt I had something to prove. I wasn’t happily thinking about success, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to do it again. Also, I was very attached to the results of roll of the ball, I needed it to be a strike, and it rarely was. I wasn’t thinking about how fun it would be to bowl a turkey, I had some fear if I couldn’t repeat the process it would discredit me and EFT. So, I wasn’t anywhere near the vibration I had when I bowled 8 strikes in a row. Instead of being happy and feeling good, I was worried and concerned. Both times the laws of physics cooperated with my vibration, supported my vibration. What I thought gave me success the first time (EFT tapping) was really only a minor part of the equation, otherwise I would have experienced more success on subsequent trips to the bowling alley. What made the biggest difference with me not caring about the results, but being excited about the idea of winning a turkey and enjoying the present moment.
