Your images are the “windows” to your being.


Getting to the core issue is where the gold is when you’re trying to clear an issue with EFT. Although you can get amazing results with tapping on your issues using the basic formula, if you’re not reaching the core issue under your symptoms you may not get very far. And since we are sitting in our own “blind spots” so to speak, it can really be hard to do that. That’s one reason among others to work on your issues with an EFT practitioner. (That’ll be another post)

I’ve been treating clients with EFT as well as other energetic modalities for many years. By now my work is mostly guided by intuition, More often then not, I get quick impressions about what their core issue is, then ask them if they’re willing to tap on it and see what happens.

I put it that way for a few reasons. First of all, no one knows you better then you do and I think it’s arrogant if someone tells you they know just what your issue is. (more…)

Emotional Freedom Techniques heals painful childhood school memory, explains computer frustration and results in reducing addiction to cocaine

Electric overload in your body craves a discharge

Electric overload in your body craves a discharge

I see any addiction, emotional eating, smoking, computer games, pornography, whatever, as a need to medicate an overwrought nervous system. EFT is based on the knowledge that we are electrical in nature. Our nerves are conduit of that electricity just like out electric system at home. Just as wires have a maximum load they can cary, our nervous system are no different. When we carry trauma in us it overloads our system. Addiction results as a byproduct of a natural drive to bring that charge in out nervous system down. Once we clear the traumatic memories in us of their charge we feel freer and the need to medicate our pain falls away. “Jason” called me telling me he has a cocaine addiction. He’d been “using on and off for many years” and he said “It’s got to stop.”  He had downloaded the manual for EFT so he knew the process and didn’t need to be convinced about it. But he knew that there were deeper issues under his addiction and came to me to help him find them. (more…)

Breastfeeding offers a mirror to your inner child

Breastfeeding offers a mirror to your inner child

“Sally” is a woman who does EFT for herself but was not feeling well and couldn’t seem to get better on her own with EFT. We scheduled a phone session with me.  

“I don’t feel well, I feel all swollen in my body for weeks. I have a constant headache and I’m tired all the time. I just had a baby ten weeks ago and there’s friction between me and my husband since then. I’m nursing now. It puts me under a lot of pressure. I had lots of anxiety when I first started. My husband is pushing me to nurse. I tell him ’I cant’ and that ‘its too much’ but I feel he doesn’t pay attention or doesn’t care. It’s my fourth baby

The first one I nursed for a few weeks. The second one I nursed for almost a year and it was really hard for me. The third one I nursed but had to go to the hospital to remove a remaining piece of placenta. When I say I just want to stop nursing he’s dismissive of my needs.” 

I asked her how it made her feel.

“He makes me feel rejected.” She went on.

EFT can help us get clear why we feel what we feel.

I wish I could figure out what I'm feeling

I wish I could figure out what I'm feeling

 

Sometimes we call things “floating anxiety” when we can’t find a reason for a feeling. From all the years I’ve worked with people I see that all the feelings we have have a brilliant logic all their own. If we’re doing EFT with an issues we don’t have the slightest clarity about but we have a feeling in us. The feeling itself is enough, Once we clear that our inner wisdom often delivers the rest of our issue on a platter.

Surrogate Emotional Freedom Techniques cleared love pain left in a foreclosed house

Filed under: Latest Post — Shulamit @ 12:09 am

Hi everyone,

I do Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with lots of issues. EFTers are familiar with and acknowledge surrogate EFT works but it’s not an easy concept to grasp if you’re new to the idea. It can seem weird and witch doctorish and way out but before you make any snap judgments, think about prayer. Have you ever prayed for anyone? If you have and you believe it works, and there is research that shows it does, then what’s really happening? 

It seems that what’s happening is that your thoughts for someone else seems to have an effect on that person. If you’ve prayed about a situation and you feel your prayers helped then your desire to help connected to a constellation of events that were going to happen and seem to have effected them so that they came together in a good way. 

There is also anecdotal evidence that machines are effected by our feelings and that objects last longer when they are blessed. meaning that your intent seems to have a real and concrete effect on objects. So it’s only a bit of a stretch then to the possibility that structures like houses can be affected by our feelings. And maybe if the feelings are long lasting enough that they seem to permeate the very air in a room. Since we know EFT works for people and animals maybe it can work for things that we want to effect as well. (more…)

Keep Holiday pounds off with Emotional Freedom Techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques can liberate us from dieting

Emotional Freedom Techniques can liberate us from dieting

We’ve all heard about our four seasons.  Of course we may only see two really but we did have four when I was a kid. Anyway I just hear about a fifth. I recently heard Thanksgiving holiday into the new called “eating season” and it’s easy to see why. We jump from Halloween, a holiday created just for you to eat the lovely treats your kids bring home, to the endless dishes that show up as the days approach Thanksgiving and usually are in your face each day as left overs or snacks for the office into Christmas and after till new years comes when you make your new years resolution to loose weight! That run on sentence is the perfect reflection of food at this time. It seems to never end!

Your coworkers bring in foods for the office. They think it’s love, You may feel it’s torture. You sit there looking at the box of luscious pastries, crisp homemade chocolate cookies, or the cheddar popcorn that you can’t wait to pop in your mouth and then there is the pumpkin pie and mmm… Just thinking about it makes you salivate. I know I am. But you pay for it don’t you. What do they say “a minute on the lips forever on the hips. You’re around all that food and even if you don’t’ have any major issues around eating you say to yourself “I’m just going to taste a bite” and then one taste leads to the next and the next and before you know it your pants are just a bit tighter. You seem to put on five pounds just by breathing! Damn! you say to yourself. Next year I’m going to create rules for myself, I’ll control myself better. I’ve just got to decide. But it’s so hard when all that yummy food is in front of me! 

Can you relate to this? I used to go through such a struggle dealing with food issues. Now its gone in a few taps of my fingers. It’s not a typo, I didn’t mean snaps. I meant taps. Sounds crazy? Well it’s not, It’s so simple a child can do it yet the issues that this process can heal covers everything from health to emotional pain of all kinds to fears and self limiting beliefs of all kinds. The process is called Emotional Freedom techniques (EFT). EFT  is quickly becoming known throughout the world as one of the most powerful healing and self mastery tools available. (more…)

Emotional Freedom Techniques help free us from dysfunctional personal and professional relationships

Filed under: Latest Post — Shulamit @ 11:14 pm

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat in a room with the sun fading and the room growing dim where I may be reading a book or working online and my husband will come in and turn on the light. When he does I say “Oh thanks what a great difference!” as if the idea of turning on the light never crossed my mind. The other day I saw him sitting at his desk working on his computer and the room was dark. I went in and turned on the light. And guess what he said? “Thanks hun, I didn’t even think of turning it on.” Yesterday I was working on my laptop in the living room and the room was growing dark. I realized it was getting dark long after it had grown dark. What told me was the growing discomfort of my eyes trying to read in the dimness and I thought to myself. “This is uncomfortable I need some light.” So I went over to the switch and turned on the light. “Ahhh.” I could see again.

It hit me in that moment that this is exactly what we do in relationships — personal and professional. We sit in the discomfort adapting…adapting…adapting. (more…)

Emotional Freedom Techniques-Healing Trauma Created When Parents’ Words and Actions Don’t Match

Filed under: Latest Post — Shulamit @ 8:02 pm

For months now I’ve been saying I’m not a techie and thinking that’s true. In fact I convinced myself of it, talk about a self limiting belief! But, I just realized It’s not true. Not only am I capable of doing tech things, I do them easily if I’m taught properly. I’ve used programs successfully in the past but it was so long ago that I forgot I knew them! I’m a person in the “teach them to fish” camp versus “buying people fish.” So even though I could save lots of time if I just pay someone to do my blog creation or other blog related stuff I won’t have learned anything and if I want to blog in the wee hours of the morning I’m screwed. So, I decided I was going to learn it by myself.

I began to listen to some teleseminars that took me through the steps and hit a glitch that I’ve been hitting all year long. For any of you who know Emotional Freedom Techniques, I did a lot of tapping on those frustrations!. I kept thinking it was me! I would go in to bouts of trying to get things done according to the directions that people wrote and then hit a bump and be down for another few weeks.

My new years resolution is to learn what i need to learn and get myself out on the net so I can share what I have with anyone who wants it. Step by step I followed the recordings and kept trying to follow the steps that I was given and kept hitting glitches. I kept thinking that it was me until I slowed it down and pulled way back and looked at the actuality of what happened when I hit the glitches.

I saw that what really was happening is that it wasn’t me at all. The audio and the directions on line didn’t line up with the visual that I got when I opened up the pages they referred to. I saw that it was the disconnect that happened when I tried to make them line up when they didn’t that created a disconnect in me. I find metaphors everywhere. It’s second nature to me. What I realized was that what I was experiencing in trying to make things match when they didn’t match is what children experience in dysfunctional families. They hear one thing coming out of their parents’ mouths and they see another.

Children need so desperately to believe that their parents are God since their very survival hinges on it, that it creates a disconnect –one that as children we have to make sense of. We cant afford to find fault with our parents so we make it our problem. We say we have something wrong with us. In psycho;logical terms its called cognitive dissonance. We change the picture so all things match even if it means that we denigrate and hurt ourselves.

Think back on your life as a child. Where were there disconnects in your childhood? where did you see things that didn’t line up with what you were told. Things that you were told by your clergy or your teachers. As adults we see that in our government. Most people associate politicians with disconnects so we make sure to watch their behaviors very carefully to see if their words and their actions match.

Think back on any mismatches in your childhood. Odds are you made conclusions that may have ended up with you as the problem. Think again. Feel for the disconnects. Write about them in detail. Write down the  self limiting beliefs you have about those incidents. In the days afterwards notice how those self limiting beliefs show up in your life. Notice how they stop you . Who would you be without them? Where would you be in your career, love life? Write about that “you”. It’s possible to heal the injuries from those experiences. With Emotional Freedom Techniques you can zero in on each of them and clear them for good.


When you are doing any of the exercises in this page take care of your comfort. If you find as you are tapping that you are being overwhelmed by feelings please stop and contact an EFT practitioner who has the skills and experience to guide you in the process safely.
