Self Development


If you are even slightly interested in reliving stress of any kind, you owe it to yourself to check out the EFT Hub

This alternative approach to self care is remarkably effective at relieving or even curing a multitude of conditions.

Proponents of this technique suggest you try it on everything, because even though it was designed to address emotional issues, it has often been effective on physical matters as well.

Personally, I discovered EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, or Tapping as it often called, about three years ago. I never looked back and today I cannot imagine life without it.

Here are some of the conditions that I have improved or completely healed using EFT:

1. Weight management

2. Improved Vision

3. Improved balance and coordination

4. Lowered Blood Pressure

5. Complete cure of panic attacks

6. Complete cure of fear of flying (done for friend)

7. Healing of knee pain caused by injury, rated as a permanent condition by medical specialist

8. Return of lost sense of smell, rated as permanent condition by medical specialist

9. Natural regrowth of thinning hair, rated as genetic condition by dermatologist

10. Relief from anxiety and depression

and other minor things.

If you haven’t heard about EFT or tapping, the site has plenty of information, much of it for free.  The Hub itself is a membership site, so those wanting to join can available themselves of a lot of specialized help. However, even if you don’t join, you can teach  yourself quite a lot from the free articles and information.

Oh, for those of you who remember Gary Craig’s web site, this is the new incarnation now operated by Gary Williams. Gary Craig is enjoying a much deserved retirement. A special event in honor of Gary will be held on July 11th. Its called The Gary Craig Tribute Reloaded

If you know anything about EFT, tapping, energy psychology, energy medicine and related therapies, you have probably heard of the DVD called The Tapping Solution. You may have heard of it by its former name, Try it on Everything.

Its a documentary film that shows the power of EFT or tapping  to change lives.  Its the real deal and its helping people around the globe change their lives for the better.

If you have never heard of tapping before, let me just say that it is an extraordinarily powerful technique that you can learn easily. You use it to manage emotional challenges and conditions that are related to emotional challenges. This includes weight loss,  phobia cure, relief from stress and anxiety of all sorts, low self esteem, post traumatic stress disorder, depression and much more.

The easy to learn process seems almost too simple to be effective.  Its based on a blend of Eastern energy techniques and Western mind-body healing. You simply tap your fingers lightly on a series of acupressure points while focusing your mind on the condition or emotion that is troublesome.

Now, back to the DVD, The Tapping Solution.

Featuring well known experts such as Jack Canfield, Bruce Lipton, Carol Look, Dr. Joe Mercola, Joe Vitale, Dr. Patricia Carrington and more this film is a riveting ninety minutes where you’ll laugh, cry and most importantly learn the secrets to getting the most out of tapping so you too can experience the miracles and breakthroughs seen in the film.

Now the creators of the film have offered an incredible deal.

The Tapping Solution

This incredible opportunity is only available for FIVE days. For one dollar, plus S&H, you get the DVD mailed to you, PLUS you get a free 30 day membership in the tapping membership web site called The Tapping Insider’s Club. At the end of 30 days, you can cancel your membership if you wish, or convert to a paid membership. It’s your choice.

This is one of those “no-brainers”

But it’s only for those that are really ready to change and who are open minded enough to try a new approach even though it admittedly sounds silly.

The Tapping Solution

The EFT Hub Event Reloaded happens on May 30, 2010.  Anyone who missed some of the videos first time around has a second chance to catch up. Those who didn’t catch the event have a chance to listen to as many audios as they can fit into one day.

The original event lasted for seven days and offered those who signed up (free) a chance to hear several tapping audios per day. The audios were prepared by experts and well respected people in the field of Emotional Freedom Technique, energy psychology and energy medicine.

Emotional Freedom Technique is a remarkable method of stress reduction loosely based on acupuncture pressure points.

No pain, no needles, and highly effective.  Check it out.   The link is EFT Hub Reloaded

Its Day Three already of the World Summit Tapping Event.  This is a ten day event, free to register and free to view all video presentations.

Already we’ve heard presentations on clearing blocks to financial success, silencing the critic within, dealing with past psychological traumas and changing a negative self image. Some presentations include tapalongs, which are especially helpful.

Today’s two presentations are business related — addressing the emotional and psychological blocks that may be holding you back from business success.

It’s not too late to sign up.  I’m listening every single day. It takes a bit of time two two twbut I figure I can’t afford not to.

The 2010 Tapping World Summit is open for registrations. The online event commences on February 20.  Last year, 81,000 persons attended this free online event.

Tapping is a revolutionary new self-help technique that reduces stress, relieves physical and emotional pain, reduces anxiety, and much, much more.

It’s difficult to talk about tapping without making it sound like a sales pitch. The truth is, I am so impressed with the results you can get from tapping that I can’t help but sound enthusiastic. The event is free, did I mention?  There’s no sales involved other than encouraging you to invest a little time in a technique that can do so much good.

The online event consists of videos and audio files being made available every day for ten days. The presenters are leaders in the field; there are at least 18 different topics being covered in the sessions.

Early bird registrants can watch a few interviews before the events begin — including an instruction video demonstrating how to do tapping.
It’s easy — although it seems strange. You tap your fingers lightly on energy points as used in acupuncture, while focusing on an emotion or a situation that you want to change.

As far as business applications go, how about some of these?  Do you dread making cold sales calls?  Tap the dread away. Do you fear making presentations to your colleagues, employers or customers?  Tap the fear away. Do you have a belief concerning how much you can generate in sales?  Tap away your limiting belief and surpass yourself.

And that’s just for business. Apply the same principles to any other area of your life.

It’s free. Why not attend and find out how you can benefit from this procedure?

I used to play the piano. I took lessons for eight years or more, as a matter of fact. Today I don’t have a piano, unfortunately. I say unfortunately because I have just discovered that digital sheet music is available for download all over the Internet.

Some of it is free; some of it is modestly priced. I think back to how difficult it used to be to find the music I wanted for my piano. I lived in a small city with one music store. Their stock was limited, to say the least. If it were today, I would be able to find anything I wanted, and simply download it and print it out. How cool is that?

Musicnotes.com is my favorite site for downloable sheet music. They have a huge database that you can search. Their digital stock is available for a wide range of musical instruments, and there is even a selection of free stuff you can have.

Here are a few of my favorite songs available at Musicnotes.com

Susan Boyle – Wild Horses

Colbie Caillat – Fallin’ for You

Carrie Underwood – Cowboy Casanova

If you play an instrument, or sing, you’re missing out on a great thing if you aren’t looking into digital sheet music.

Try it on Everything DVD is a good gift for just about anybody this holiday season. It’s a heartwarming and inspirational DVD about the use of Emotional Freedom Technique, (aka EFT tapping). Some of the people in the DVD appeared in The Secret, although EFT is considerably more concrete than the Law of Attraction.

Emotional freedom technique is a relatively new technique that is attracting major attention for its ability to reduce or remove conditions related to emotional distress. In a nutshell, it involves tapping the fingers lightly on various acupuncture points while focusing on an uncomfortable feeling or condition. EFT was developed to address conditions related to emotions — such as phobias, traumas, anxiety, resentment, post traumatic stress disorder, guilt, shame, stress, etc. However, as an interesting side effect, it often helps or even completely cures physical ailments as well.

So what does this have to do with business?

Well, aside from the obvious fact that business people are human, and therefore have their fair share of emotional and physical distress, EFT tapping has some specific applications to business.

Consider this. Do any of these beliefs or thoughts ever show up in your consciousness?

1. I hate doing cold calls. I just can’t approach strangers and ask them to buy something.
2. I hate it when a customer complains or asks for a refund. I take it personally.
3. I under value my products or services because I have trouble establishing my worth.
4. I detest public speaking. I just can’t give a workshop or speak at a conference. I’m too nervous.
5. I’m really upset about the economy and I don’t think I can make a go of it now.
6. I can’t imagine that I can ever exceed XXX number of dollars in sales per week, or per month or per year.
7. I’m not bright enough to learn everything I need to know to make a go of it.
8. There just isn’t enough time. I’m overwhelmed with everything I need to do.
9. I can’t make a presentation at a sales meeting. I think my peers will put down my efforts.
10. etc.

If even one of those ideas is lurking in your conscious or subconscious mind, or if there is another similar idea that you have, then guaranteed you are not performing at your utmost best. Negative feelings and limiting beliefs hold you back, not to mention making your life more uncomfortable than it needs to be.

The good news is that energy psychology, which includes emotional freedom technique, can remove those beliefs and feelings and replace them with positive, confident beliefs. The performance improvement is sure to follow.

EFT tapping is easy to learn, very effective, has no negative side effects and can be learned for little or no cash outlay.

I discovered EFT about a year ago and I can’t endorse it enough. The Try it on Everything DVD is a great way to start. It’s an especially good time right now because the publishers are running a promotion that includes over $400 in bonuses along with each DVD you buy.

I’m happy to see that Gary Craig, EFT guru extraordinaire, has published my article about using EFT to rid myself of 30 year old tobacco cravings that were buried in my energy field.  EFT, if you don’t know, is a relatively new method of dealing with emotional, and sometimes physical distress by tapping lightly on acupuncture points.

Emotional freedom technique, along with other components of energy medicine, can remove emotional distress, addictive cravings, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder and more. EFT tapping can also help, or even cure, physical conditions.

I’m pleased to be mentioned on Gary’s site. The article is found at How cigarette cravings led to major emotional release with EFT

This much televised webinar with Oprah Winfrey and Eckhart Tolle has like a gazillion people logging on to watch or participate. It’s nothing short of amazing that so many people, worldwide, are interested in helping the world become a better place. The concept behind Eckart Tolle’s latest book, The Good Earth: Awakening to your Life’s Purpose, is that we change the collective consciousness by changing our own consciousness. It makes sense to me. It also requires each individual to take complete and total responsibility for himself or herself.

Personal responsibility, in this time of blaming other people, events and circumstances is not a popular approach. Its encouraging to see so many people are interested in having a better life, both personally and collectively.

Despite the criticisms that get leveled at Oprah, you have to admire what she chooses to achieve with her great power and wealth. And as for Tolle, he’s a remarkably unassuming man who seems to be uninfluenced by the personal and professional status he’s achieved. I admire him — and not just because he lives in Vancouver, my home town.

I have a Squidoo Lens about the Webinar. It will be updated every week after the event. I invite interested people to visit my lens and leave their comments and experiences with this remarkable project.Eckhart Tolle’s The Good Earth. Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose

I finally figured out how to stop smoking. But first, let me explain that I’ve gone 21 years without a cigarette. Following a doctor’s dire warning that I was showing some lung damage, I put out my last fag back in 1987. Thanks to the wonders of Nicarette gum, I managed to stop smoking.

Twenty-one years or so later, I still experienced the occasional craving to smoke. It didn’t happen often and it wasn’t a serious temptation, but still, there it was. I have been told that nicotine creates a “learning” at the cellular level, and that our cells never really “forget” the nicotine.

So this brings us to yesterday. As I’ve posted a few times already, I’m enthusiastic about EFT tapping for so many reasons. I’ve been using EFT for various issues, and an unexplained, but very welcome side effect is that it has been releasing energy trapped in the damaged lungs. I take this to mean that some healing is happening in this area, even though the damage was diagnosed as permanent. 

So, I was doing some EFT tapping around  some other issue when I  suddenly began craving a cigarette strongly. I could taste and smell tobacco. My jaw clenched into the position its in when you drag on a cigarette.

This surprised me quite a bit — its 21 years, after all. I stopped tapping on whatever I was tapping about and switched over to tapping about the craving directly. Suddenly. I erupted in a burst of strong anger and started yelling over and over, “Don’t take my cigarette away from me.”

This angry outburst continued for awhile. When it wore out, I tried some more tapping around smoking cessation, and released energies related to fear and agitation. I presume these energies and emotions were related to the nicotine withdrawal I experienced at the time. After that, more anger came out, directed at people who had criticized me for smoking before I finally quit.  

Finally, this trapped energy worked its way out of me. When it did, the craving for nicotine was gone. My chest felt better than it had before, better than it has felt in a good many years, in fact. Once again, I am in awe of the power of EFT and its ability to remove trapped energies that have been detrimental to our health and well being.

Although I didn’t use EFT to quit smoking, given that it wasn’t around at the time, I’m darned sure it would be a great help to anyone battling the addiction. And for those of you who have stopped smoking, I suggest giving EFT a try and see what trapped energies you may still have around the drug, no matter how long its been since you quit.

There’s a lot of research now showing that reformed smokers are at considerably higher risk of lung cancer than those who have never smoked.  I would not be at all surprised if they someday find that EFT tapping can remove that heightened risk and get our chances down to the same statistical chances of the never-smoked people.

It’s sure worth giving it a try. If you want to learn how to stop smoking with EFT, or to learn EFT for any reason,  check out The Art and Science of EFT
