The lies we tell ourselves

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.

The ABC's of Taking Entrepreneurial Action

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!

Are you ready for transformation?

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,

Gratitude When Life’s a Train Wreck?

“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.

Emotion-oriented: where one attends to feelings and then seeks out social supports. 3. Distraction-oriented: where one take their mind

What's MIND-BODY Wisdom?

Most people blame their BODIES for unwanted physical conditions. What if, contrary to popular beliefs, your ailment was warning you about a stress-caused imbalance in the afflicted area?

This concept of seeing the body and its conditions as signs of emotional imbalance or distress is called MIND-BODY WISDOM. Perhaps you’ve heard of it, but never really understood how it works or what it means. r

Domestic Violence - Something Can be Done

What makes sufferers of Domestic Violence stay in a violent relationship? Many sufferers feel they have nowhere else to turn. After being with a violent and abusive partner, they have such low self-esteem they can’t fathom what it feels like to deserve something better.

Mind Body Freedom with EFT

Some say the answer to many - if not all- physical, mental and emotional issues rests in our thought patterns. There is a thought-cause behind all of the symptoms and, by routine, we grasp these thought patterns. Louise Hay is well known for addressing the mental aspects of physical pain and providing positive affirmations as remedies. Her book or DVD, called You Can Heal Your Life, reveals that self-love is at the core of her teachings. Another consideration to free ourselves from emotional, physical and mental pain is based on the body’s energy system.

Learning From My BIG Mistake

When I was a Business Development Executive, I would “chase” (yes, that’s the word we used) after really big, multi million dollar deals. Often, it would take months (or even years) of marketing to finally get that new client. Then what would happen, I would be so busy with my new (very large) client, that I would stop marketing to attract new clients. All of a sudden, a few weeks or month later, I’d turn around and I had no new business coming in. Nothing in the pipeline. Boy, was that scary.

For instance; an individual might ask if there were some kind of guarantee for quitting a bad habit.

Is Anger at “X” ruining your life?

We had a family gathering last week that one of my sons refused to attend. One of his brothers had said and done something to him a couple of months earlier that was very hurtful and he refused to come to any activity if his brother was going to be there. What his brother did and said was wrong. I’m not excusing his actions at all. But he did apologize twice. He apologized in his own way, which to many people and certainly to my son, was not an apology at all. So, the apologies were not accepted and now my two sons are estranged from each other. How sad!

The Solution May Be Right in Front of Your Eyes

I posted a comment on a Facebook thread recently that studies have shown that at least 90% of all chronic illness is caused by negative emotions (primarily stress). The good news is that if you change your emotions, your illness can often diminish or disappear. Well, one of the readers got very huffy and offended as she told me that she had chronic pain for years and didn’t want to think that her negative emotions were caused by it. After all, she was seeing doctors and doing what she was supposed to do medically (although, her pain still hadn’t gone away).
