Yes, I get emails every day with people selling me all kinds of stuff with headlines like — GET RICH NOW. THE LAZY WAY TO WEALTH. GUARANTEED! I’m sure some of these programs are good. Of course an easier way for me is to get my airline ticket to pick up the millions of dollars they’re holding for me in Nigeria. It seems that a lot of wealthy people over there are dying. Their relatives, being very generous, have found me and want to share the moola.

When it comes to really teaching people how to create abundance, I know of two people who walk their talk. First, there’s Carol Look. Carol has been teaching ways of attracting abundance using EFT for several years now. She’s great. Carol has a chapter on it in the book, Freedom at Your Fingertips. Another person is Margaret Lynch. All of us were on the nine day Tapping World Summit.

Margaret has a new program she’s coming out with called The Secret of Intentional Wealth. She’s going to sell this program. And, as part of her introductory promotion, she’s offering free videos on different topics. All you need to do is provide your name and email address, and you’ll be able to view the videos immediately.

The first one is, The Power of Outrageous Goals. You can get this free video by signing up here. Margaret even includes a transcript you can download. After you watch the videos I’m willing to bet that you’re going to experience a dramatic shift just a few minutes after you watch them.

The second video is, Your Tapping Solutions for Resistance and Self-Sabotage. You can get the video here.

The third video is, Blasting Through Your Money Blocks and Barriers. This video is available here.

The fourth video is, Tap into Your Brilliance. This video is here.

I highly recommend you watch these free videos because they’re about using EFT or tapping to create changes in your life from the inside out. Margaret is terrific! Go to it because the freebies are only available for a short time.

Before you start, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 meaning you’re feeling very “good,” and one “not so good,” write down a number indicating how you feel. Now, without thinking about it, intuitively pick a color that you sense will help you feel better. Without thinking or analyzing, choose whatever color comes to mind. You have free rein. Got your color?

Now, sitting in a comfortable position that’s right for you, visualize that color as fully as you can. See it as colored air or light. While visualizing this color, do a round of EFT tapping. Relax and take your time. Go slowly. Imagine the color surrounding your body. Now breath your color it in and out. No words, just tapping, visualizing and sensing. If you’d like to change the form of the color to colored water or a liquid, feel free to do so.

After doing a round of tapping with the color, stop and take a deep breath. Notice if there’s an improvement in how you feel. If so, do another round of tapping using that color to go higher to a positive feeling of 10. If there’s no improvement, use your intuition or information from the color chart below to select a different color. Play with color tapping to see how you might release negative feelings and install valuable ones to positively affect you emotionally and physically.  

In this short video, you’ll learn some basic ideas about Gestalt therapy.

Here’s how you might use Gestalt therapy to create EFT setup statements. If you’ll slide the video time control to around 3:40, the client, Rob, who is on the right, says when he’s exaggerating his hand movements, “it” feels silly.” In Gestalt therapy, you embrace “it.” and say “I.” For example an EFT setup statement here might be:

“Even though I’m feeling silly, and I’m supposed to be serious, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

As you watch the video further, here are examples of other potential EFT setup statements:

“Even though I’m feeling that I don’t have any control, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I’m feeling that I don’t want to be here, I choose to stay and fully experience the present moment.”

“Even though I want to hide from [say whatever you want to hide from here], I deeply and completely accept myself.”

The beauty of Gestalt therapy is that you can discover what you might want to tap on by simply becoming more aware of the present moment. What are you feeling in your body right now? What is your body trying to express? What are your hands and feet doing? Trust in the process that you’ll uncover the gestalt to tap on using EFT.

You’ll find several sites that cover Gestalt therapy via Google, Bing and other search engines. Many of the books on Gestalt therapy are difficult to find because they were published in the seventies. If you want to read an autobiography about the person who is most well known for Gestalt therapy, get In and Out the Garbage Pail which is the story of Frederick “Fritz” Perls.

The EFT World Summit 2009 begins on Monday, April 20 and continues over nine days. All of these world-class EFT experts will gather together their combined knowledge to immerse you in the world of EFT. Never before has a panel like this been assembled … and it may never happen again, so I’d like to encourage you to register right away for the EFT World Summit 2009. We’re telling everyone we know and you can feel free to pass this information along to anyone you feel would benefit!

Although I was busy traveling during the week, I wanted a way to show I was thinking about my daughter and father. I focused on how I might show I cared about their well-being. As an action minded person, I decided to create a book of affirming thoughts and empowering questions. It was called MindSigns Personal Billboards. MindSigns was published as a large book of affirmation signs people could tear out and post in visible places around the house to stay in a positive state of mind. At the time, the book was printed in black-and-white because the printing technology then was too expensive to do in full color. That’s all changed.

About six months ago, I woke up one morning and decided to turn MindSigns into full color greeting cards. The idea was to offer people a way to encourage someone they care about by sending an affordable gift not once but up to 52 times a year, automatically. After doing our test marketing, the product is now available. We’ve had a very enthusiastic response. You can learn more about MindSigns Personal Billboards, including viewing all 52 designs, at our new Website. Just zip on over to www.mindsigns.com

Note:  It’s all done automatically. There are no cards to pick or messages to write inside. We do it all for you, including the creation, printing, stuffing, stamping and mailing each week. And each gift greeting card indicates it’s from you. You can send MindSigns cards to anyone anywhere in the world.

Take a look. Let me know what you think.

Here’s what Carol says:

I Quit.

I quit listening to the media and how bad things are. I quit believing there is not enough money. I quit believing in a power outside of me and really woke up that I am creating my life.

That is when I started teaching people this:

If you focus on "no money, no money, no money," Guess what you get? The answer seems pretty simple when asked like that! No Money!

I have been teaching people for years that you need to focus on what you want, not what you fear. There are a lot of people running a lot of limiting beliefs right now. You may be one of them. That is why I am launching my official 2009 "I Quit" campaign. I am not quitting what I do, are you kidding I am just getting started. People need this information more than ever.

Join me this Sunday on my weekly "Living Your Truth" radio show to hear more about what I am quitting and what I have quit through the years that has allowed more JOY to BE in my life.

I am going to help you quit this year. Quit buying into all the lack and limitation that is stirred up right now. I am also launching my "I Quit" product campaign. You will learn more about that on Sunday.

What are you ready to quit? What loser default programming are you ready to quit? What pattern of lack are you ready to quit. Let’s get started Sunday.

Hold on, help is on the way. EFT is my favorite way of tapping away physical and emotional issues. Another method I like is heart-focused breathing taught by HeartMath. Doc Childre, founder of the Institute of HeartMath, has written the De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times, a free e-booklet that provides a few simple practices to help you intercept and manage stress during this period of challenge and uncertainty. You can download the free e-booklet right now by clicking on the graphic below.

This 24 page e-booklet is full of wisdom in dealing with the change and uncertainly we’re all experiencing today. On page 15, he suggests an exercise to tell yourself some phrases. I recommend doing EFT tapping while saying the following:

I understand why I’m living in fear and anxiety, but it’s draining my energy, putting my health at risk and interfering with clear decision-making.

I’m tired of being overshadowed by fear and I’m ready to shift to an attitude that’s easier on my nervous system, my health, and those around me.

I’m aware that fear has repressed my spirit and it hasn’t made anything change for the better.

I don’t expect to eliminate all my fears and projections, but I intend now to at least practice reducing my fear to a more balanced attitude of practical caution and discernment.

I realize that any progress in reducing fear will make me feel better and free up more of my spirit to move on.

HeartMath is demonstrating leadership, compassion, and doing a real service by offering the De-Stress Kit for the Changing Times. Feel free to share with your family, friends and others that may find it of value.

In March of 2008, Gary Craig and other EFT experts spent five days helping PTSD ridden military veterans in San Francisco to introduce them to EFT. Gary just released a 20 minute segment. Please watch it. Note that in capturing the candor of these veterans, there are a couple of profanities mentioned. A psychologist and psychiatrist also participated and make comments about the efficacy of EFT. This is an impressive video to watch because EFT offers great hope in helping to heal the trauma of our military veterans and their families. Please share this video with people you know who might benefit from seeing it.

Sorry, for the advertising plugs in the video. There’s no way for me to turn them off. You may also want to read some of our previous posts.

EFT: Help for a Spendthrift Nation

Listen … to Attract Abundance

When you change how you feel on the inside, you’re in a calmer, better place to make financial and other decisions. Use EFT to release uncomfortable money fears you may have. Instead of being reactionary, EFT enables you to be response-able.

EFT is keeping many practitioners busy. Almost two-thirds of the EFT practitioners surveyed do it full time. Around a third are part time. Some practitioners are in the process of building their practices. Most offer EFT and other methods of energy psychology and healing.

The predominant occupation for EFT practitioners is coaching, whether it’s working with individuals for personal coaching or in business. The other major areas are mental health professionals such as psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists, plus hypnotherapists.

Almost three-quarters of EFT practitioners are general practitioners. They work with their clients to resolve a range of issues. With those who specialize, the top areas of specialty are:

• Stress and anxiety
• Fears and phobias
• Trauma from accidents
• Addictions, weight issues and phobias
• Pain management

Other specialties highlighted include spiritual matters, self-esteem issues, sexual abuse, PTSD, grief, and women’s issues.

You’ll be pleased to know that if you’re looking for an EFT practitioner, those who are practicing have significant experience. Although EFT is fairly new to the general public, EFT practitioners have been doing EFT with their clients for quite some time. Eighty percent of those surveyed have been offering EFT for at least three years. Only a few practitioners have been doing EFT for less than a year.

What was surprising is even though most EFT practitioners can offer clients EFT via the telephone, that’s not how most EFT practitioners do their work. It’s mostly in person. Almost 70 percent of those surveyed do less than 25 percent of EFT services by phone. Several people mentioned that they would like to increase their telephone clientele.

We asked EFT practitioners the single most important way they learned EFT. The majority mentioned it was by viewing Gary Craig’s video libraries. We can attribute some of this to the fact that until the last few years, other than the EFT manual, that was the only comprehensive learning tool available. Today, the videos continue to be the most in-depth, cost effective way for lay people and practitioners to learn EFT.

Most EFT practitioners focus on offering their services and do not offer their own products. Many practitioners provide handouts or free information on their Websites. Of those who do offer products, it’s usually products developed by other EFT practitioners sold through affiliate programs. Some practitioners would like to develop products. Others don’t feel they have the time nor inclination to deal with business issues such as stocking and ordering. Some practitioners said that their profession prohibited them from offering products.

Recently, Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, started a certification program to emphasize EFT video instruction as the standard, and to bring more consistency back to the instruction and practice of EFT. Another purpose was to help prospective clients find a qualified practitioner that focused on EFT. We were surprised to find that only about one-third of EFT practitioners plan to be certified under the new program. The majority of practitioners aren’t sure or were not aware of the program.

Several practitioners mentioned that they didn’t only specialize in EFT. They offered other energy healing modalities. A number of practitioners said that they had developed a healthy client base and didn’t feel the need to be “re-certified.”
