Change how you feel – change your world

Woman with eyes closed looking at peace

Change how you feel and the world changes with you

There is an energetic and emotional ripple effect when we work on how we feel about something, or someone.

You can create that change.

 

How working on yourself can change those around you

It’s something I see time and time again.

Someone comes to me feeling upset or angry. Annoyed, frustrated, even resentful, at how they are being treated. Be it by a single person or by a group (normally family), and they just don’t know how to cope or deal with the situation.

What people don’t realise though, is that what they are dealing with, is energy. It’s the energetic link between people that cause the emotions to surface.

When you can release or break the energetic link that is creating and feeding the tension, i.e. you make a change to how you feel about it, things have a funny way of simply no longer being there.

Because now there is nothing for anyone to feed off of.

If you change how you feel about them, they, completely unconsciously and unknowingly, change how they feel about you.

Does that sound complicated?

I promise you it’s not.

Let me give you a true scenario (or maybe two 😊) of what I’ve seen happen when working with our feelings.

 

Julie wanted to change how her family saw her

This is actually very common and also something that I see, not just with clients but even in my own relationships. We’re all guilty in some way, shape or form, of holding onto a version of someone. Siblings, old friends, aunties and uncles, mum’s and dads. They see us as we were. And no matter how much we change and grow. Now matter how much we show up as someone else (because we ARE now someone else!), we are treated as the person we were twenty years ago.

AND it always seems to be the ‘bad’ stuff that they remember and hold over your head!

So, when Julie came to me she was upset that all of her family – her mum, dad and brothers, were still holding the past over her.

In her eyes, all she had done was move to a different state to be with her boyfriend.

She was still in the country! But had moved a couple of states north.

Julie only ended up being there for a year as the relationship didn’t work out. But her mum stopped talking to her for the entire time she was out of state and that caused tension within the family home.

All of this became “Julie’s fault”

Despite her not even living in the house for those 12 months – it was “all her fault”.

She was belittled and had snide comments thrown at her regularly, and when she started to see a new man it got worse.

She eventually moved in with her new boyfriend and would visit the family regularly – but nothing was changing. The energy was exactly the same no matter what she did.

Intentions, affirmations, ignoring it, challenging it, playing nice – nothing changed.

It was then that Julie actually came to see me because she felt completely alone and broken. Her family held her responsible for causing all of the drama of that year.

We started by tapping on her feelings of being treated like she did something wrong. How she was carrying the burden for an entire household’s unhappiness by doing something that she felt was right for her.

We tapped on how she felt about moving away for that year and how she felt about leaving her home for a man when the relationship didn’t work out.

And then we moved onto some more specifics about her parents, although the majority of it came down to her mum.

We pulled apart the emotions that Julie felt around her mum and how her mum was treating her. It was a no-holes-barred session. Julie expressed herself freely and honestly and, yes, there were tears.

By the end of the session she was calmer and said: “I’m seeing them this weekend”.

I asked her how she felt about that and she said she was ok with it and wanted to go.

 

A change had occurred

A happy and connected family.

The next week Julie contacted me to say that she couldn’t believe it.

She said it was like having her old family back and that she actually fit in and felt like part of the family again.

She was relaxed and calm and so was everyone else AND, more importantly, not a single snipe or negative comment was directed at her. It was like the event had never even happened and everyone was ‘back to normal’.

By Julie releasing and letting go of the emotions that SHE felt – she was able to influence the energy within the entire family group. It was now a happier and more loving environment.

And she did that!

 

Disconnect the emotions between you

I see the energy of people as a bubble that we get stuck and caught up in. Negative emotions can and will fester and continue to grow the longer we leave it and don’t deal with it.

But all it takes is for one person to realise and own what they are feeling to break that connection. When you can let go of and disconnect how you feel about it (negative emotions) that then allows the energy to start flowing freely again. And everyone, strangely, will benefit from the work you’ve done.

More often than not, when I start working with someone on issues they have with other people, I hear the same thing: “It won’t make a difference if I change – mum/dad will still treat me the same”.

But again, from my own personal experience of working with hundreds of people, that isn’t true at all.

Something bigger happens.

As I mentioned at the very beginning of this blog: when you change YOUR energy and how you feel about the situation or that person, they then have nothing to feed off of.

 

How quickly you can instigate change

Before I add another story into this blog I want to quickly share what happened to me just last week.

When I looked at my diary for the coming couple of weeks I realised that I wasn’t as busy as I had been. A big part of me wasn’t worried and I’ve reached a stage where I now, pretty much, trust everything that is happening. And with it being the end of winter where hibernation is comforting and healing, plus I was beyond exhausted so could use some down time – a part of me thought: “Well this is quite nice”.

However! The human/ego side of me got a little freaked out. “What about money? What about all the things we’re saving for? This will put us behind!” etc. etc.

So when I get like that and I’m aware that I’m starting to feel a little anxious or worried (anything negative really) I go straight to tapping. Negative emotions don’t serve me or my health so I tend to pounce on them as soon as I realise what is happening.

I began tapping, simply, on what I knew right in that moment, which was: how freaked out I was that I didn’t have any clients for a few days.

After approximately five or so minutes, I’d calmed myself down and I was then ok to carry on enjoying some free time.

But get this: literally, and I mean LITERALLY, within ten minutes of me finishing tapping, a client called me to book in for the next day.

And this isn’t even the first time this has happened.

THAT IS HOW QUICKLY THIS STUFF CAN WORK! (And it’s in capital letters because I’m excited!!!!) 😀

If you CHANGE YOUR ENERGY, which are essentially blocks within your energy field and body, it has an incredible and dare I say, miraculous way, of all falling into place.

Changing someone’s unique design

Another story of change

Marissa had an issue with something that had come up in her place of work that was really getting to her.

She’d been biting her tongue for a few weeks, but she’d now reached boiling point and she felt completely hopeless.

She was very good at her job and many people praised her unique talent and ability. But there was someone else at the company that not only did what she did but was also ‘higher up the food chain’.

Every time Marissa would add her unique flair to a routine and made it stand out, her colleague would change it behind her back.

Finally, she’d had enough of this and confronted them on it. But it blew up and she was yelled at and stood over and was left having to “like it or lump it”.

We talked about any logical options she had, like taking it higher up the food chain. But it appeared it wouldn’t make a difference.

 

And so we got to work tapping on how she felt about it all.

We tapped on how she felt about this person, specifically.

Then we tapped on how she felt about having her routine changed as well as the fact that it was all done behind her back.

We also tapped on how she felt about the fight and the aggression that her colleague had shown towards her.

It was then that she realised something. The reason why her colleague was treating her this way.

It was their way of getting back at her. AND, it was for something that was out of her control but that she was being blamed for.

She realised that her colleague needed to resume some kind of control over an event that had recently happened. And this was their way of doing it…

Marissa was suddenly calm and felt completely ok about going back to work in a few days.

 

A shift in the energy

A couple of weeks later I saw Marissa again and I asked her how things were at work – specifically with “said colleague”.

Woman smiling
A change had occurred

She said: “Its weird (a regular response with EFT). It all feels completely normal and we’re talking and getting along just fine. It’s like nothing has even happened.”

I asked if any further changes had been made to her routines and she said “no, they have completely left me alone”.

And then I asked: “And if you go to work today and you see that part of the routine you have created has been changed, without any discussion or input from you, how will you feel?”.

And she said “I’m actually ok with it. It’s not going to bother me at all”.

So not only had Marissa reached a different state energetically and emotionally, but her colleague had too.

There was suddenly peace within the ranks.

 

A final point around change

Someone might read these stories and think: “Why should I do this work when it’s the other person’s problem?”.

And I completely understand that.

In the case of Julie and her mum, it is clear that Julie’s mum had the issue. But she didn’t look at that and deal with it. Instead, she deflected and put her ‘stuff’ onto her daughter.

Looking at our own stuff can be very confronting. Having to face our past traumas, embarrassments and beliefs we’ve picked up along the way, isn’t easy. To say to ourselves: “Oh my goodness, I was completely wrong”, seems to be something we struggle with.

To show weakness and vulnerability is not (yet) normal in today’s society. And so we will sometimes do everything possible to stay and be seen as right. Even if that means hurting another person to do it or cutting off our nose to spite our face.

 

“Might is right”

…as some people believe.

Now this is not me making excuses for these people. But we have to remember that everyone is trying to figure out their own journey. And the truth is, even if we don’t understand it, it is harder for some people.

But if you, the brave one, can look at your own stuff and your own shadows. If you can look at how you’ve dealt with situations and acknowledge your mistakes. You may even come to an understanding about another person’s journey. How they’ve come to be who they are today.

You not only help yourself but you help them too.

It can also, if they are awake enough, help them to see that it is actually ok. Its safe for them to open up too.

So BE the ripple effect in everyone’s life.

You’ll change the world that way.

Diving deeper into your pain

Person free diving down to touch sea bed

How do you go deeper into your pain using Emotional Freedom Technique?

 

It’s all about questioning the pain…

Have you been tapping on an issue that has been bothering you for a while now? Perhaps it’s physical pain or maybe you’ve been feeling like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster, so you’ve focused on what’s at the surface?

It’s great if you have! Its a massive step towards taking ownership of what is going inside of us. (And around us!)

But, are you now finding that there is a limit to how far the “tap on what you know” I talked about in my previous blog can take you? (click here). Do you just know there is something deeper that you need to get to?

If you’re stuck and are asking yourself how do I go deeper using Emotional Freedom Technique, the answer is simple:

You have to ask your pain the right questions.

The hardest part about EFT

Being an EFT practitioner is all about guiding people to deep dive into the core of their physical or emotional pain. The only way we can really do that is to get people thinking about and connecting to themselves.  YOU have the answers inside of you. You know, on a deeper, hidden level, what has caused the problem. We, as EFT practitioners, are there to help support and guide you through the process of discovery and release. And we do that by asking questions.

Let me give you an example here:

Lets say you have physical pain in your back and you simply start tapping on that pain and it disappears. Great! That was just your body wanting some attention or to make you aware that it wasn’t entirely happy.

But what about when you’re tapping on the pain and nothing changes? The pain and the intensity stay the same.

This is where you have to start asking yourself, and your back pain, questions. (Yes I mean that in the literal sense. You have to talk directly to your back pain like it is an entity or a conscious part of you).

Have a conversation with your pain – like it’s a separate entity.

How do I go deeper into my pain?

Pain isn’t to be feared. Many guru’s and spiritual healers and advisors will tell you to sink into the pain. And it’s true. Facing it and acknowledging it takes courage. But not only will you move through the healing process quicker if you do that, it will also give you an incredible sense of accomplishment, confidence and personal strength. Because now YOU are in control of IT rather than the other way around.

One of the best ways I’ve found of diving deeper is to visually tune into the pain/sensation in your body and describe it in detail. (Remember that our emotions can also cause sensations in the body which is why I’m always asking people “can you feel that anger or sadness in your body?”). Use all of your senses to identify what is happening within you.

A few simple ‘sensory’ questions I’ll ask are:

  • Does it have a shape to it?
  • What about a colour?
  • Is there an outline?
  • Does it have a texture – thick, misty, light, watery? It can be anything at all.
  • How big or small is it?
  • Some people might find it has a smell or a taste.

Give as much detail as you can and also TRUST what comes up for you. You might think what you find is ridiculous, but believe it or not it’ll have a meaning for you as you dig deeper.

Shift your emotional pain: anxiety

So as another example: Lets say you’re feeling anxious and you’ve done a few rounds of tapping on the fact that you’re anxious but it’s just not shifting.

You’ve got to now ask the next stage of questions in order to go deeper.

Find where your anxiousness is within your body. You might have a sensation (big or small) in your chest, stomach, legs, neck, jaw. It could be anywhere. Don’t ignore it – even if it’s a pain or sensation you’ve had for years. Whatever it is you’re feeling physically is what you’re going to link your anxiety to at this next stage.

If you can’t feel anything at all, that’s ok, it just means the connection to the body isn’t strong – which is incredibly common. I find the more you do this work on yourself, the stronger the connection will become. It’s about building up a relationship with your body again.

In the case that you can’t feel anything at all, you can still tune into your body and see if you can locate it visually i.e. where do you imagine it would be when you close your eyes and look inside of yourself.

For the sake of this example let say that you can feel it and you’ve realised your anxiety is in your chest.

Stay tuned into that sensation in your chest and describe what it feels like. It is a tightness, a tension, is it twisting, churning or swirling – however you feel it is exactly right. Don’t doubt yourself.

Now that you’ve pinpointed it in your body, describe what it looks like. (For this exercise I usually tell my clients to close their eyes and take their consciousness into that part of their body and simply have a look around). What do you see when you look at that anxiety in your chest?

What you see isn’t a joke!

To help you feel like you’re not weird (a term generally used by my clients when they first start doing this 🙂 ), here are some strangely

There is no right or wrong to what you see.

beautiful things I have heard over the years about what people see energetically inside their bodies:

  • needles
  • peaches
  • blackness
  • leaking pipes
  • a parent
  • rocks or boulders
  • worms
  • sludge
  • bricks

There is no ‘wrong’ when you’re doing this work on yourself. Always, always, always TRUST what you first see.

Carrying on with the example above: Lets say you can feel the anxiety in your chest and it feels like a tight tension. When you look at it you see a brick that is green in colour and it appears to be heavy and rough.

If there is anything else you notice or feel, you can add that into your tapping sequence, but here you have some key points in order to help you go deeper and connect into what your body is trying to tell you. (Technically – you are still tapping on what you know, it’s just new stuff that you know now! 🙂 ).

A set up statement for the above could go like this: “Even though I have all this anxiety in my chest, and it feels tight, like a green, heavy brick is sitting in my chest. I deeply and completely love and accept myself”.

You can do many variations of that sentence. As long as you’re tuning into what you see and feel (or hear!) – then you’re listening to and acknowledging your body.

That’s stage two! 

You can still take that deeper

One of the next things I might do, depending on how the intensity is tracking i.e. is it becoming less or simply staying put, is to ask a question of the image you’re seeing inside of you.

So if we stay with the same example as above – the ‘green, heavy brick full of anxiety in the chest’. Have a conversation with it. Ask the green, heavy brick what message it has for you. What does it need to tell you? What can you do to help it release and feel safe?

Your body knows

Woman meditating
Listen to your body. It knows….

This is quite often another stage I’ll add into working with clients trying to heal. Listening to our body is so incredibly important.

Now that doesn’t mean as soon as you feel pain you run for the Panadol. That’s the complete opposite of listening.

What I’m saying is that your body’s pain is more often than not the final stage. It’s the pimple that’s ready to burst. It’s core or roots are buried somewhere deep inside. Because emotions don’t simply dissipate.

However, what I see time and time again is that if you do this work enough and you talk to your body and REALLY tune in and listen when it’s in pain, you’ll eventually not need EFT to move it. Once you’ve mastered the technique of listening to what your body and pain is trying to tell you, all you have to do is say “ok thanks. I hear you and I’m on it”, and it will literally vanish of it’s own accord.

It’s very, very powerful stuff.

Back to your anxiety:

Lets says that this ‘green, heavy brick of anxiety’ says to you “I’m scared to let go”. You can tap on that statement just as it is, as another layer, or you can ask it another question: “What specifically are you scared to let go of?”.

The answer to that is what you’ll add into your tapping sequence and will likely blow the whole thing wide open for you and give you that ‘ah-ha!’ moment.

Just to help you out with the example, lets say the green brick of anxiety is scared to let go because, if it does, it believes you’ll be attacked in some way – that is what you’ll tap on:

“Even though this green brick of anxiety in my chest is scared to let go, because it feels I’ll be attacked if it does, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. (Again, you can do many variations of that sentence but always use the information you’ve been given).

The core of your pain

What are some key questions you can use to find the core of your pain?

The example above does leave room for further exploration. If a part of you feels like it has to be on-guard because it fears being attacked – you have to find where that came from and when it started in order to really help let go of this anxiety wrapped belief you’re holding onto within your body. (The belief being you’ll be attacked in some way).

You may of heard of the basic information gathering questions: ‘who, when, what, why, where and how’?

My preference in 99.9% of cases is to leave out the ‘why’. I can go into more detail in another blog but lets just, for now, say that it’s too ‘open’ a question when you’re trying to get down to specifics. And, if used in the wrong way, asking ‘why’ can actually put you into a victim state i.e. “why is this happening to me?” – which is not going to help you to heal.

Here are some examples of questions you could potentially ask yourself in order to go deeper:

  • What specifically is causing this pain?
  • What is this related to?

    A fluffly dandelion
    You can’t heal by being fluffy round the edges
  • What was I doing when the symptoms or issue started?
  • What do I need to do to heal from this?
  • When did this start? (age, year, how long ago?)
  • When did I first start feeling like this?
  • Where is this pain be coming from?
  • Where was I when the problem showed up?
  • Who does this remind me of?
  • Who taught me this/caused me to believe this?
  • How many times did it happen?

Now those are only the tip of the iceberg and depending on what it is you need to clear will depend on the specifics of the question.

These are simply to give you an idea of what you can use in order to help yourself go deeper with EFT.

You need to get to the specifics of what it is you’re feeling if you’re going to release it. We can’t heal if we’re being fluffy round the edges….

In doing this work you are giving your body a voice!

A sign that says all of me loves all of you
Give your body a voice

Questions, questions, questions

The only way we can get to the core of our issues is to dig.

So be curious. Be open to it not always making sense. The brain can make links with the most random of events and items. (I’m speaking from my own personal experience!).

And always follow and trust what comes up for you when you’re working on yourself. It might seem ridiculous. It might not make a scrap of sense in the beginning, but the more you explore it and dig down, the more the shadows are easier to clear and release.

If you’d still prefer to have someone help you though. Someone to guide you and hold your hand whilst you go through this healing process – please reach out. Asking for help is a huge step which is to be celebrated. You’ll feel better just with that simple first step.

You are braver and stronger than you think.

Emotional Freedom Technique for healing

Woman in a field of flowers

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an incredible way to heal.

Counselling on steroids

EFT, or Tapping as it is also known, is easy to do. It’s a technique based on ancient Chinese practices but has been proven by modern day science to work.

I liken it to ‘counselling on steroids’ because rather than just talking through a problem in the hope you can find some peace through desensitisation – EFT will release and break the circuit of emotions that you have tied up within that event. That is what is keeping you stuck inside the loop. Your fear, your shock, your shame – your emotional connection to it.

However, Emotional Freedom Technique isn’t just for emotions. You can also use it on physical pain. Migraines, headaches, back pain – you name it, EFT can help where a lot of other treatments have failed.

In the tapping world we have a saying: “Try it and see”.

 

How do I do it?

So lets jump into the technique of how to do it:

The Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping sequence in 4 easy steps

Step 1: Identify, as specifically as you can, what it is you’re feeling or experiencing.

So, for example, if you have pain in your left knee – perhaps it feels like a sharp stabbing pain, that is the statement you’ll use to do your tapping.

If it’s emotional, try and figure out what that emotion is to you (and it doesn’t have to be exact) but perhaps you’re frustrated or anxious. Sad, angry, annoyed, overwhelmed. Maybe you’re just not sure? Perhaps, you want to make a noise that represents what you’re feeling – a grunt or a ‘humph’ sound. Do that instead!

And to add another layer to that, if you can FEEL something going on within your body, add that into the mix as well. Perhaps your stomach is churning, or your chest is tight. Do a quick body scan to see if your body is trying to tell you something about the emotion you are feeling. (Our body knows more than what we give it credit for!)

The simple rule of thumb that I follow is to tap on what you know. That is: what you’re experiencing right now.

 

Step 2: Rate that pain or emotion (or both) on a scale of 0 -10. (0 = no pain/feeling good, 10 = maximum pain/emotion). Jot that number down on a piece of paper so you can monitor its intensity as you tap it through.

 

Step 3: Being tapping.

You start with what is known as the ‘Karate Chop point’ which is the soft fleshy part of your hand underneath your little finger. (Imagine you are doing a karate chop on a piece of wood. The part of your hand that makes contact with the wood is the Karate Chop point).

If you’re right handed, you’ll probably want to use your right hand to tap on your left karate chop point to start with. But you can swap hands at any time throughout this process if you find your arm getting tired or the skin gets sore from the repeated tapping.

Whilst tapping on the side of your hand, you’re going to say one to three versions of a set up statement.

Your set up statement will go something like this:

“Even though I feel really anxious right now, and my chest is tight, I deeply and completely love and accept myself“.

(If you’re dealing with physical pain in your knee, as I’ve mentioned above, you could say: “Even though I have this sharp stabbing pain in my left knee, I deeply and completely love and accept myself”).

Repeat this up to three times OR you can put some variations into your set up statement: E.g. “Even though I feel really anxious right now, and my chest is tight which is making it hard to breath, I deeply and completely love and accept myself”.

“Even though I feel really anxious right now because I don’t know how to handle this situation with my mum, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

All you are doing at this first stage is stating what you know!

 

Step 4: Now, you’ll tap on the other more central points around the head, face and chest area and say a shortened version of the set-up statements.

In the example we’re using you could simply say “all this anxiousness in my chest” each time you tap on the following points:

Picture of lade with points marked on her body
The Emotional Freedom Technique tapping points shown on the body.
  • On top of the head (Use a flat hand to cover a larger area)
  • Edge or beginning of the eyebrow (where your third eye is situated)
  • Edge or side of the eye socket (tap on the bone)
  • Underneath the eye, in the middle (again, tap on the bone)
  • Underneath the nose (above the top lip)
  • Crease of the chin (underneath the bottom lip)
  • Chest point/collarbone (come down approx. 1 inch from the collarbones and form a lose claw shape with your hand)
  • Underneath the armpit. (Use a flat hand and tap along the bra strap line).

I like to do two full rounds of tapping around these points and then I’ll stop, take a deep breath, and tune into how my pain is now feeling.

If the pain has decreased, for example, it was at an eight of intensity but it now feels like it’s a five, I’ll keep doing what I’m doing to see if I can reduce it further, zero being the target.

If, however, the intensity has gone up, that’s ok too. It doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong. It simply means there was a lot more pain within your body and energy field than you realised. You’re simply about to open up a channel for it to come out of.

Think of it like a dried up toothpaste tube. There is soft, pliable toothpaste within the tube (your energy) but at the top of the tube a hard cork or blockage has formed. This blockage is keeping all the toothpaste stuck inside. As you push on the tube the soft toothpaste is trying to push the cork out so that it can escape. Your emotions work in a similar way. If you have a blockage or emotional cork keeping everything stuck, you might experience an intensity increase at first. What you’re tapping on is desperately trying to get out and push past the emotional cork.

So keep tapping on it and you’ll feel the intensity start to come down once your energy has found a small hole in which to pass through. Once that happens it’ll take the stagnant energy (blockage) with it.

At the end of the day, all your body wants is to have you recognise and acknowledge your pain. Once you do that, you’re 50% there.

Give your body thanks, whilst tapping, for letting you know that something is wrong and help it to release all the stored up pain it’s been trying to protect you from.

And if you need some added help, here is a video on the what’s, why’s and how’s of Emotional Freedom Technique!

What if I forget the sequence?

If you do ever forget the tapping sequence, you can simply tap continuously on a single point. The chest point is a very popular tapping point so go straight there if you’re struggling and need to get the energy and emotions moving.

I’ve always been a fan of the point underneath my nose and the crease of my chin. I just want to set up camp there. So I will use just those points if I’m busy or can’t do the full sequence.

 

Why say “I deeply and completely love and accept myself”?

If you’re doing this for the first time you might laugh or even cry when you say this. Because lets face it – how often do we say to ourselves “I love you”?

It’s rare.

But this is important because its rewiring your brain to feel love and acceptance for yourself no matter your situation. It’s a huge

Lady in blue jumper holding a love heart cushion
How often do we say to ourselves “I love you”?

problem in today’s society. We don’t love and accept ourselves for our ‘imperfections’ or mistakes. And quite often, we don’t love ourselves for the things we excel at and love to do either! So this statement will help you to find some peace within yourself. Even when it feels like you’re hanging on by a thread.

To be able to say: “Wow! I’m really not doing well right now, but you know what, that’s ok, I’m human and I can forgive myself for it”, is where you’ll find contentment within yourself.

You might find that at first, you’re just going through the motions of saying “I deeply and completely love and accept myself” even though it doesn’t feel true. That’s ok. Keep saying it, if you can, and it’ll eventually catch up with you.

If you really can’t bring yourself to say it then there are other things you can say instead:

You could try:

  • “It’s ok and I’m ok”,
  • “Maybe one day I’ll be able to love and accept myself”,
  • “I’m a good person”
  • “I accept myself and want to feel better”
  • “I’m open to allowing myself to heal now”.

You can make up your own version of what you want to say BUT you must make it positive. This is what helps teach your brain that positivity is the direction you’re going.

That is what EFT is all about. Release the negativity, rewiring our thinking and emotions, to allow in the positive.

It’s the law of attraction at its most fundamental! (But more on this later…)

 

Please give this a try!

Emotional Freedom Technique can absolutely change your life.

If you’d like more information or you’d really like to give this a go but you aren’t sure you can do it on your own, I am only a phone call away.
