You do have a few misconceptions and some misinformation and this is where I come in. I'm here to change your mind, more aptly, open your mind. You've been given an invaluable gift. a gift that has either gone unnoticed or misused for most of your life. My assignment is to help you open it and use it to its full capacity.

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? What if each condition was your body telling you exactly what emotions should be released to create healing and total well being? 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

This is my four year old grand daughter Mekenah, and her mother, my daughter Shauna. It looks like they have huge eyes, doesn’t it? The reality is that those huge eyes are just painted on. Their real eyes are closed.

Do you love horses? I do, and for those of us who love horses as I do, I will be introducing you to 10 most beautiful horse breeds in the world and interesting facts . 10. Andalusian Horse: This horse is also known as the Pure Spanish Horse; it is a breed from the Iberian Peninsula. It has been recognized as an individual breed since the 15th century; this breed has its influence on almost every horse breed in the world today. It is no wonder then that this horse is called th

As someone who has done a lot of personal EFT work over the years, I know far too well the pitfalls that can be encountered by doing it all on your own. Anyone who knows the benefits of doing EFT, also knows the benefits of making it a daily practice in your life. That being said, now that I’ve had training as a certified EFT practitioner it’s a case of, I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have saved myself a lot of time and tears if I had worked with a practitioner, or had some type of training.

Honestly, I couldn’t wait to share this with you. This was good news that I couldn’t wait to announce at the top of my lungs. I recently had the honor and privilege of being interviewed and featured by one the top DJ’s in Boston for the #1 radio station in Boston for her Exceptional Women Entrepreneur Series. This was hugely significant for me as it got my message out in a much bigger way.

Stress is widely accredited with being the prime suspect in the development of disease, whether this is seen as mainly emotional as in depression and anxiety disorder, or physical such as with cancer or autoimmune conditions. But what causes the stress? Why are we finding it so hard to adapt to our way of living, or to give it up and live stress-free lives? The answer is trauma – both big ‘T’ and little ‘t’ traumas – which have a dramatic i

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. The memories of violent and abusive real life events are so deeply ingrained that this effects judgement, and what seems to others like an unacceptable lifestyle begins to seem normal to sufferers.

Whenever I go to networking events (which is quite often) I always get people’s interest up when I talk about money. Especially, when I talk about charging what you’re worth. That’s when the conversations really start flowing. And the complaints! Here’s what they tell me happens. Do any of these scenarios sound familiar to you? 1) You change the subject when someone asks you “how much you charge”? 2) You immediately offer someone a discount 3) You haven’t raised your rates in years 4) You over give your time when working with clients

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a foolproof way to know if you’re lined up with your life purpose, the whole reason you’re here? Actually, there is a way to figure out whether your life is headed in a good direction that’s going to be pleasing to you and in sync with your life purpose or not. Every one of us has a built-in guidance system – it’s kind of like a GPS for your life. It’s based on the principle that what you think with emotion is what you will get, whether that’s good or bad.

At some point in your life – you may find yourself STUCK IN A RUT. Waking up one day and realising your potential is not being appreciated or utilised to it’s fullest. Going two steps forward and 10 steps back always moving but not really going anywhere. So what’s GOING ON? Why aren’t you all that you can be? Why are you in that RUT? I’m afraid it’s because you have SELF IMAGE-Itis that’s right SELF IMAGE-Itis which is perhaps the world’s most prevalent disease, which affec

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.

On December 18th, I had the privilege of attending the birth of my sixth grandchild and helping to care for him for the first few days of his life. I think there are few things more soul-filling than to have a new baby sleep on your shoulder; to lightly touch his velvety skin with your cheek and smell that fleeting new baby smell.

A few years ago, I attended a network marketing event for Neways in Atlanta, Georgia. It was an international event, with people from all over the world attending. For the opening night, a special program was planned with entertainment provided by each country. A few months before the event, all Canadian distributors got an email, asking for ideas for the Canadian portion of the program.

Gary Craig, the founder of EFT says to “Try it on everything!” For myself, I know EFT can help with many, many problems. For instance, today EFT has helped me with two challenges: I was feeling very judgmental about myself, so I did some tapping on accepting myself and now feel much better. ...

Well being. Being Well. What does that mean to you? Are you truly well or are you merely existing with various low grade aches and pains? We seem to have come to the conclusion that wellbeing means the absence of any illness. But what if it meant much more than that? What if Well bieng or being well was about vitality and energy? What if it covered mental, emotional, phyisacl and spiritual health?r

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.

How exciting is your life? How much fun? Does your life have any meaning? Do you think of your life as just one mundane task after another, about as exciting as a shopping list? Have you ever just stepped back and looked at your life as if you were watching a movie? Well, here’s the thing about movies: they don’t show every moment of the story. They don’t show the long dull stretches when nothing important seems to be happening.

Who Is Ready to Heal? When I started my practice in 2000, I learned there are people not really ready to take complete responsibility for their own healing. I had to explain that I was only a guide to take them to the place of empowerment so the shift could take place within them, potentially allowing for the healing to take place. For instance; an individual might ask if there were some kind of guarantee for quitting a bad habit.

Stressed out about all of the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Right? You’re rocking it out one minute and the next so far behind. How in the heck does that happen? And, what about all of the things you’re telling yourself that it means? Those thoughts keep pushing your success further away. As a result, you’re not on target to achieve the goals that you really desire. This lack of consistency is a problem that’s caused struggle, frustration, and disappointment many times, and I’m going to share my answer for you on how to deal with.

Have you ever considered the significant role that work plays in relationship to your health? And how health is essential for getting your work done quickly, completely and successfully?

Your skin is an emotional barometer of your mental well being, as well as your body's largest organ. It’s the boundary between you and the outside world, reflecting to yourself and others how you emotionally and mentally perceive your life. Skin conditions, including acne, can be provoked by painful emotions from past experiences at any age. EMOTIONS TRIGGER SKIN CONDITIONS You probably noticed that your acne worsens with continued negative or traumatic experiences, such as heightened stress at work or school. r

Last year, I had a call from a client who was desperate for help. Jerome (name changed) was in a dreadful state on the phone; he hadn't slept for five days or nights and had 3 years of hardly sleeping at all, with only an odd hour of sleep here or there.

It may sound strange that you can resolve emotional problems by tapping on acupressure points with your fingers, but that’s just the method that many health practitioners are now using to help their clients. It has also been demonstrated a number of times on TV, including on the Richard and Judy show (no less!) and with Paul McKenna when working therapeutically. You can even learn to use the techniques for yourself. The most popular of these techniques is EFT (Emotional Free

You are more likely to get what you want out of life if you ask for it rather than expect others to read your mind. When you ask for 100% of what you want, you put the ball in the other person’s court. You would be surprised how many people have trouble saying “no”. Some employees are chided as being the boss’s favorite because they seem to be getting all the perks…the best office, the flexible time off, the most interesting assignments, etc. Often the real reason f

Eileen is a jeweler who is in her early sixties. She also is a widow of several years. She had a chronic pain in her left shoulder that had been there for years. She described it is a dull ache that was deep in her shoulder joint. She said that it was registering as a "6-7" on the 0-10 intensity scale.nnI asked her what would her shoulder say if it could speak to us. What came up were feelings of inadequacy, fear of being dependent, fear of disability and limitation, and agin

"Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow" Melodie Beattie What are you grateful for today? Maybe you're going through a rough time and feel that you don't have much to be thankful for? Therein lies the problem. To manifest what you want to ...

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!

This is a quick introduction to EFT, an emotional freedom technique based upon the concept of using specific acupressure points to work on emotional issues. Today we will focus on anxiety and stress and use 3 points that effect it, as you tap the points 7-10 times each then you will do as many ...

In an episode of South Park - the “grown-up” cartoon that points out absurdities our society - the Underwear Gnomes were sneaking into Butters’ bedroom at night and stealing his underwear. The children captured a gnome and got him to take the them back to the gnomes’ underground lair. There were huge stacks of plundered underwear piled high by multiple conveyers with factory-like precision. nnKyle had to ask, “Dude, why are you stealing all this underwear?”nnThe U

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).

The last thing a person wants to do is to give up a fight. Why? Naturally, we are born fighters and survivor. But there are things in life that isn’t worth a fight. It’s not worth sticking your guts on, or clinging yourself to the point of exhaustion. Some may consider this view as rather odd, but as a person we must choose a fight that is worth every sweat of your glands or blood from your skin. Along the fight some stumbling blocks becomes our traffic signals. It’s ei

When we were born we were bright shining beacons of light and love. We came into the world wide open and trusting in everything and everyone. We had three guardian angels to watch over us and help us make sense of the world. Their names were Fear, Doubt and Judgement ( I bet you thought they would be called Love, Hope and Trust but they come later)

A large number of people don’t have proper idea what a speed camera detector (Blitzerwarner ) may be. And they also may not entirely know why it can aid them. This article can resolve both those questions and get you started. First of all, think about this: Think about the time when you were caught by the traffic police after you went through a red light because it changed too suddenly? Or how about being caught by one of those speed camera detectors when you're at a time w

Do you remember what it was like on the playground when you were a child? Recently I took my daughter to one of our local parks on a Saturday to give mommy a break. When we arrived my daughter was so excited to see a bunch of children already playing. I was barely able to get the car stopped and her out of the car seat before she was running to the swings. I walked over to some benches next to the swings and sat down to keep an eye on her. As I sat there watching her approach

We all want more abundance in our lives right? More time, money, friends, opportunities, love and so on. Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT is an ideal tool to help you activate the Law of Attraction and bring more abundance into your life. EFT is a meridian based therapy that requires tapping on various points on the face and body to "un-do" the kinks or blocks brought on by stress, negative beliefs or traumatic memories. When EFT is applied to limiting beliefs around money

Nothing stays the same. You really don’t want it to stay the same. An expressio I share a lot when speaking from the stage is that “you’re either growing or dying.” Think about a flower. Once the seed is planted, it grows and grows until the flower blooms…and a bloom only lasts so long, until it starts dying.

On June 1 2009, an Air France Airbus A330-200 en route from Rio de Janiero to Paris crashed, killing all 228 people aboard. After hearing about this devastating plane crash, I immediately made an analogy to our lives. Facts are still being studied and indicate a possible malfunction in the plane’s electrical system, however, in the beginning, the story indicated a possible weather pattern, something outside the plane, causing the crash. Airline sustainability relies on the dependability of repeated and predictable operations. In this case something unexpected happened.

What if there was a way to improve your vision and get rid of your glasses without surgery and without resorting to wearing contact lenses? Well there is, with a cutting edge energy therapy known as Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT. A few years ago, Master EFT Practitioner Carol Look conducted an experiment to see if vision could be improved using this remarkable therapy. What she found was that for many of the participants in the study, emotional upset was causing their v

What does life look like when your work is easy? You get up in the morning and go to work doing something that you really love doing. Oh, you might still have to work hard at it, but it’s more like playing hard than working hard. When you’re playing hard, challenges are fun, invigorating, and you look forward to them.

In today's business world, one of the most important skills we can posses is the ability to present our ideas in a clear, concise manner in order to inspire, educate and persuade others. Even if you think that your job doesn't require you to make speeches, just stop to think...how often do you need to communicate your ideas to at least one other person? Your boss? Your co-workers? Your suppliers?

(The following article was published in the June/July 2009 edition of the New Stork Times, a parenting magazine that is distributed in Switzerland.) Slightly to my surprise, following a sudden impulse, I found myself at the zoo in Basel recently. Wandering along excitedly thinking “lions and tigers and bears!” and wondering if there were elephants anywhere, I noticed a heavily tattooed and pierced mother with her little boy, age 3 or so. I was debating whether to accost her and enquire about elephants (she had a map) when the boy asked her a question.

Human beings have different type of emotions and sometimes these emotions cast long term effects on our lives. Long time ago Chinese developed many different emotional freedom techniques to deal with unwanted feelings and pains effectively. One of them was acupuncture, which worked effectively in many areas of health including emotions. Now a new technique has been developed which uses same points as acupuncture but needles are no more used. Emotional freedom technique is a t

I heard myself say it, and immediately felt the discord of the statement. “I can try, but I’ll fail.” That was the second time this week that I’ve heard myself say something to the effect of “I don’t believe in myself”, and now that I’m hearing it, I’m really committed to changing those negative thoughts.

One of the most effective ways I’ve found to connect with a friend, family member or partner is to understand their preferred style of relating. Coming at the relationship solely from our perspective won’t provide positive results. Imagine the benefits of knowing how the other person likes to be treated and communicated to in the relationship. This isn’t about selling out and bending over backwards to accommodate another person, this is about truly seeing another as well as yourself from an emotional standpoint.

Cali is so much healthier than most dogs her age (which is 14.5 years old) however, she isn’t immune to things, and lately, we’ve had more visits to the Vet and to the Animal Hospital than in the past. It’s scary and frightening until I have answers on how to help her. She’s been getting a lot of her regular and preventive care from a fabulous holistic Vet who Cali and I adore. When we’re at the traditional animal hospital, there can be a bit of conflict sometimes on the best way to treat my girl. I’ve had to learn a lot of patience in this area.

What is “Emotional Mud” and how do we get it? As a baby, we were happy, confident, courageous, positive and loving. But something happened. Most of us lost that. Today, less than 1 in 5 women feel good about themselves! We were all raised by imperfect people who were trying to deal with their own “stuff”. They may, or they may not have done the best they could, but each one of us was splashed with our own ”Emotional Mud”. If we came from an abusive home, the emotional mud was dumped on our spirits. If we came from a good home, it was dripped on.

We all know that what we focus on we attract more of… and yet we still go around moaning about the stack fo bills we have to pay, the lack of money in our bank accounts ( especially at this time of year!), the lack of available, gorgeous, men or women around. So we shouldn’t be surprised when this is exactly what shows up in our lives…. more lack!
