Many of us enjoy charitable giving, as it not only helps us to give to those that are in need but it can also benefit us at the end of the tax year. That doesn't mean, however, that you should simply give to the first charitable organization that you see. Some careful consideration needs to be given to the charity because you want to make sure that the majority of the gifts that you give are going to be distributed to those in need. That is true, regardless of whether you are

In a coaching session the other day, one of my multi- 6-figure clients was talking about all of the ways he has been procrastinating. He hasn’t been writing his weekly ezine. He admitted he felt stressed out and that there weren’t enough hours in each day. Although, he did confess he was spending lots of time on Facebook and watching television. I shared with him a lot of strategic “time management “ and operational ideas that I’m known for. He was on the other side of the phone eagerly writing down this information.r

My speciality with EFT is helping people overcome emotional and physical stress related issues. I helped “Jane” with her food cravings and start her on the road to success with healthy diet to lose her additional 20 pounds. “Jane” worked two jobs and had a weakness for potato chips which were easily available at the snack bar near her desk at her evening part time job. She also had chips every day at lunch. This was the major contribution to her weight gain.

The strangest thing happened to me the other day. I was invited to the Cape (aka Cape Cod for those of you outside Massachusetts), and my response was I needed to check my schedule. Wow! That response stopped me dead in my tracks. The invitation was for 3 weeks away that was certainly enough notice to reschedule the 8 appointments that were scheduled during that time frame.r

Bill is part of my extended family. Though 89, he has remained quite active. He loves taking care of the exotic tropical plants in his yard. They remind him of the years he and his wife lived in Hawaii. He also enjoys getting out and walking their two little dogs in the park.n nMy mother told me that Bill had recently fallen and fractured his pelvis. This came after back surgery. Confined to crutches and a walker for two months, Bill needed a lot of help from his wife, Bettie

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into” - Wayne Dyer Abundance is an energy that we are a part of naturally. Abundance does not just mean having lots of money. However, if lots of money is what you really want, go for it! An excellent question to ask is – what do we really really really really (yes, four) want? It is amazing that people do not even ask themselves this question. Being clear about what you want is very important. Feeling abundant will attract the same energy to you. What does abundance mean?

In the late '80s, a partner and I led fire walks. We made some observations regarding the emotional states of the participants as they were stepping onto the hot coals. We observed that some states were safe to be in while on the coals while others were not. Arrogance, for example, often led ...

Childhood beliefs hold on to us so strongly without us even realizing they are still there. The use of tapping frequently helps adults quickly recognize what they are and then evaluate these beliefs to see how and if they still fit into their lives. Recently, I worked with a client named David, a middle-aged businessman. He contacted me as a referral from a previous client and was seeking relief from his work stress level. During a session, we were discussing what issues were coming up from all of this stress.

__________________________________________________ This story is a wonderful of using EFT to help a client receive wonderful results and postpone his needed surgery.. I recently worked with a client, Harold, a gentleman in his 70’s whose doctor had told him that he had a heart arrhythmia -irregular heart beat. His doctor was monitoring him for surgery for a pace maker. Harold’s strong negative emotions for the surgery made him open to “try anything” (within reason) - which is why, a fairly conservative man was open to try tapping.

In my view, writing is the best way to get thoughts across to others because people tend to drift off into their own thoughts during a conversation, thinking about what to say next or remembering a time when, or thinking about how quickly they can get out of the conversation and that can produce ...

Recently I got a phone call from the distraught mother of a potential groom. This mother called me because her son was supposed to get married in just a few days, and was suddenly getting cold feet and telling his mom that he wasn’t sure he could go through with it. Her first question to her son was “Do you love her?”, referring to her soon to be daughter in law. The answer was an immediate YES! The next question was “So what’s the problem?”. It turned out that the problem was her son’s doubts about himself. What if he failed miserably at marriage?

It’s the end of the year, time for the holidays and you’re wrapping up your year’s end and thinking about next year. You’re wondering what will 2012 bring? Recently, I spoke to one of my private clients and we reviewed all she’s accomplished in the last few months of us working together (including significantly increasing her income!). She shared with me how she had a party to celebrate and honor her successes. I thought that was a fabulous idea! So, as you’re saying goodbye to 2011, take time to celebrate and honor all you’ve accomplished this past year.

I am birthmother to a 41 year old son. Back when I was pregnant with him, mine was a shameful secret, because only “bad girls” got pregnant. I’m happy to say that the world has changed a lot in that respect. Girls who become pregnant today face a very different set of problems tha I did. Many girls today even chose to keep and raise their children, an opportunity that was not imaginable 40 years ago. Over the last 18 years I have gotten to know many birthmothers who relinquished their children in the sixties and seventies.

Why do you tap? To get rid of something? To tap away something? Because you are sick to death of feeling the way you do? Because you want it gone? Because you are ready to scream? Just imagine that a pain or dis-ease is the only way your body can get your attention. It is your body's way of communicating with you. The more you do not pay attention to you and your body, the louder, more progressive and chronic the pain becomes. Now, just imagine that pain is a feeling you had as a three year old. Imagine you felt rejected or unwanted because of something.

Adoption search is a complex topic. There are so many things that can happen during or at the end of a search that it boggles the mind. Adoptees in search of birth families seem to have the best track record. Since they have access to non-identifying information, they have an advantage over birth family members. Their adoptive parents may also have information, even identifying information, conce ing their family of origin. All of this can be extremely helpful in a search.

When I was a flight attendant (back when it was actually fun to be one), I worked with so many different types of personalities. One crew member was so silly and dramatic. I remember him so clearly. He was able to get away with saying anything and passengers would just laugh. He had the absolute best delivery. One of his famous lines to passengers asking if he had an extra pen they could use was, “Do you mean to tell me you’re traveling internationally and you didn’t bother to bring a pen. That doesn’t seem very smart”.

Something occurred to me today. When we create, we are fully alive. Maybe I’m most aware of this because I create all the time now, in my mind and in the physical dimension too. As a business owner, creation is an amazing cycle that begins with a tiny notion or idea, then grows and blossoms ...

By Frosty Wooldridge Sometimes in life, no matter your stature, success, sartorial dress, rich or modest home, friends and magnificent job—you may come to a point of getting down on yourself. If you live by modest means or in poverty, you may come to the conclusion that your life sucks all the time.

When I was interviewed for the Inner Healing Compass teleseminar series, I talked about how setting healthy boundaries can prevent long term physical pain and illness. I’ve considered this a lot lately, because it seems that most of the work I do with clients is based around feeling safe enough to set boundaries and avoid compromise. One of my clients felt compromised and the result was that her allergies flared up.

In this day and age of seemingly “instant” gratification one of the biggest obstacles I have found that hangs people up when they are looking to make big changes in their lives is…Frustration. Have you ever felt frustrated? So many self help books and programs are filled with tips and techniques to manifest your desires but when people try them they are often left disappointed and angry. Why? Most of these programs do not address the real deal. They leave an important part of the equation out.

My appreciation for the gift of EFT is enormous. I've been using it in my practice for about 4 years mostly over the phone and on myself and I've yet to see a condition that it cannot relieve. While relief of pain and suffering and even major increases in peace and happiness are pretty much a give I notice that many clients including myself seem to have an almost bottomless number of issues and an infinite number of ways to make themselves miserable no matter how many core issues are dealt with over how many lifetimes using all my EFT and NLP skills and everything else I knew.

Everyday I take hundreds of different types of action. Some little –some big. I find that the “in limbo” state of not knowing what to do often gets in the way and keeps me stuck. I used to play different scenarios in my head of which way I want to go. I got really tired of doing things that way and came up with a sure fired way to make decisions to get me into action. Especially, being known as an expert of “busting through procrastination”, I realized that this “in limbo” place was a problem and had to go!

EFT and Spiritual Growth Some things I've noticed over the last few years that others may find of use: I'm not an expert in this [ still in kindergarten] and there are probably many other ways to achieve the same result. These methods may save you some time by supplying a certain structure. I am indebted to The Course in Miracles, David R.Hawkins,Stephen Daniels and of course Gary Craig. A few points: Muscle testing [kinesiology] is not a local response. While useful for telling instantly whether something is toxic or nutritious it has a wide application in telling truth from

What is transformation? And more importantly, how does it happen? The dictionary tells you that transformation is a change in form, appearance, nature, or character. Peter Senge, a faculty member at MIT and an expert on learning organizations, states, "as W. Edwards Deming says, nothing happens without "personal transformation." And the only safe space to allow for this transformation is a learning community." On the final call of a four week Authentic Life Institute class,

It happens to all of us from time to time. We catch sight of ourselves in the mirror or we hear acomment someone makes about us and we realise with a shock that our looks are not quite what we thought they were. Or maybe you were raised in a family obsessed with weight and food issues, where comments were regularly passed about people's bodies ( and usually in a negative way. "Oh my God did you see the size of that woman!" etc)r

“You’ve got to be kidding. My life is falling apart, and I’m supposed to be grateful?” Well, yes. I know that sounds just insane when everything has turned to disaster. If you or your loved one is battling a serious, even terminal disease, if you’ve lost your job or even your home, if your marriage or long-term relationship is in serious trouble or over… Sometimes life can be just plain hell, and I’m not going to sugar-coat it. But you still have a choice.
