Here’s how Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, explains it:

“We live in a Palace of Possibilities. We have mountainous potential (and we know it) but we are held back by the writing on our walls - most of which is fiction….our walls are made of cellophane and that the writing thereon is done in chalk. We are a few tapping sessions and a dream or two away from walking right through barriers that only exist in our imaginations.” 

This powerful quote is straight from the dynamic EFT DVD Training Collection. I highly reccomend that you take a look at it at http://www.emofree.com/a/?3294/2 .

Meanwhile, read the quote again & internalize it. Can you read the writing on your  walls?

Here are some examples to help you be more “literate”:

1. You need to be tough as nails to survive in that position. 
2. Very few people have the willpower to heal themselves.
3. Poor people are kinder than rich people. (You don’t want to be mean, do you? : )
4. Working 45 hour weeks is a fact of life if you want to pay your bills.
5. You need special charisma to be successful in sales…and I don’t have it!

If you’re ready for a permanent chalk eraser - EFT is the next logical step for you. Prepare to break through your barriers and beat a path to the finish line.

See if this scenario gives you a clue:  My client, Katherine, started saying the set-up statement, “Even though I have this anger, I completely & deeply love & accept myself.” My intuition told me to stop her.

I asked her, “Do you really love and accept yourself?” Her answer didn’t surprise me one bit: “Do I love myself?…I hate myself!”

Sounds familiar? Well, here’s the clincher: No number of EFT rounds will loosen your blocks, till you’ve conquered your self-acceptance issues. They’re thankfully all tappable, and MUST be addressed before delving more deeply into the process.

Here is a perfect analogy:

Two people, Bob and Greg, are planning to take a trip. They go to the train station, and stand on the platform waiting for the train. The train finally arrives, and Greg  quickly goes on board.

What about Bob? He stays standing on the platform, looking wistfully at the moving train. Sounds crazy? This is *exactly* how some people approach EFT! The difference between entering the train, or staying on the platform, hinges on whether you can accept yourself, or at least say,”I’m beginning to accept parts of me ….”

 Self-acceptance issues are easier to dissolve when you can bounce  your feelings around with someone else. Give me a call so we can work it through together. Don’t stay on the platform! The ride is pleasant, and the destination is enticing!

Does the enticement of a significantly increased income, being your own boss & doing what you love suddenly cease to be inspiring?

 Here is how my business client, Alan, summed it up, “I would be okay with two steps forward, one step back – but I feel like it’s one step forward and two steps back!” Alan is an experienced & creative graphic artist who went solo three years ago. His three greatest challenges, though potentially destructive, are far from unique:

1. Perfection paralysis. He sometimes doesn’t do it at all because he can’t get it perfect immediately. Here is a great quote I heard from marketing guru, Kevin Nations: “Winners take imperfect action.” Think about it.

   2.   It’s so easy to get buried at the alter of “Planning”–  and though   much of  it is crucial – we lose sight of the big picture. The phone calls, research, meetings, continued education, etc. take on a life of their own. This is a great procrastination strategy, which deserves your attention.  Your tasks should ideally be off-shoots of the smaller goals & steps which trigger positive actions and bring you closer to achieving your main goals

 Alan was busy creating forms that he would need in a year from now, but wasn’t working on the fundamentals of attracting new clients. Till you can’t figure out how to wring more than 24 hours out of each day, learn to prioritize our efforts.

And this is a big one…toiling for predominantly fruitless activities causes burn-out! You simply can’t afford it. (There must be a reason why over 85% of businesses never make it beyond the second year!)

   3.  Do I really deserve to be successful? If you are hesitating to answer (even for a moment ) you are actively derailing any success that has been pointed in your direction! The Law of Attraction interprets all your positive & negative vibrations automatically. Do you own feelings that you don’t deserve to receive success? You can be sure you won’t end up burdened with it!

Are you guilty of any of the above? Not to worry, these are all tappable issues! There is undoubtedly a successful EFTPreneur inside you – waiting for you to combine the power of EFT with The Law of Attraction.

One of my clients, Sarah, came to me for help in dealing with her weight-loss issues. She’s an intelligent, sensitive woman in her mid 40’s. She had tried everything over the past 12 years to lose the 35 extra pounds she  lugs around with her.

 The “losing” part wasn’t the problem – she often managed to lose significant amounts of weight periodically at weight-loss programs, popping magic pills, Overeaters Anonymous, you name it. But…. she would inevitably gain it back, and then some. Sounds familiar?

As the saying goes, “There’s a diet born every minute.” Yup, though there’s no lack of dieting options, weight-loss success stories nevertheless seem like a pipe dream for many people. Why is that? Hint: The answer doesn’t have anything to do with “lack of will-power.”  Let’s look at Sarah’s “stuff”, which surfaced during our first EFT session:

• Emotionally detached mother / critical father
• Bad marriage for 10 years
• Low self esteem/poor self-image since childhood

After some detective work, we discovered that Sarah had plenty to gain from not releasing her weight issues:

1. She had the perfect “suit of armor” to protect her from entering into another relationship, which she was petrified to attempt again.
2. She had never really had her emotional needs met, and overeating had somehow eased her feelings of deprivation, masquerading as the love she never received.
3. Did she really deserve to be thin? She didn’t think so. She didn’t think she “had what it takes” to keep her weight off.

When you are weighed down by so many negative emotions, you’re inevitably weighed down physically as well. Once we organized all these hidden triggers, we were on our way!

So ask yourself, “What am I gaining from this destructive behavior?” You’ll probably be in for a surprise. Of course, it’s not always easy to do your own digging…(even EFT practitioners like to work with each other)…Subscribe to my Timber! Newsletter and learn some of the “tricks of the trade”?  I’m also here to “dig” with you – just give a holler.

 To Your Success & Wellbeing,

What does this have to do with the Law of Attraction? Everything!
How many times have we repeated countless affirmations, following all the rules – you know what I mean – you’re saying them in the present tense, you’re venturing beyond your comfort zone, yet staying realistic, & you’re emanating all the correct vibrations. When you’re finished you turn to your husband (or to yourself)… and blow it!

You casually comment, “I’m never going to be able to do this” or “I don’t stand a chance to compete for that position”. After dutifully repeating, “I am earning $15,000 a month” you blurt out, “We’re so tight – we won’t be paying our bills soon.” Positive affirmations of abundance and verbal confirmations of scarcity just don’t mix. Any solution?

Thoughts and words are energy. The words that leave our mouth can never be retracted. They immediately take their place in the Universe (it’s quicker than Instant Messaging) as either friend or foe. The choice is ours – will our words fuel our success, or will they carelessly sabotage our hard work & efforts? Let’s be cautious to keep negative thoughts out of our mind, and negative words & phrases out of our
speech. This is the Law of Abundance!

To Your Abundant Success,

Miriam

“Total transformation” can sound a bit overwhelming. Must we change “totally”?

Can’t we just add or subtract some aspect of our lives, and hope for the best? The bad news: If you are serious about attracting success – I mean t-o-t-a-l success – emotionally, physically, financially & spiritually – you had better start thinking in terms of a “total transformation.” Bit & pieces just won’t cut it.

The good news: Once you begin the transformation process, and you’re focused and persistent, you will find yourself “on automatic”. You couldn’t stop if you wanted to! (Well, technically you could, but you probably wouldn’t want to…)

George Bernard Shaw said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” I’m dedicated to help you create yourself from a multi-textured palette of transformational tools, as I continuously “recreate” myself. We’re in this together! In fact, the posts will be interspersed with your questions, as well as my clients’ most eye-opening questions.
