COURSES AND WORKSHOPS
May 24th Workshop with Karen Hodson
The Missing Peace
Tapping with EFT - The Missing Piece in Creating Inner Peace
How is it possible to create peace on earth when there is an internal war raging on inside of us? Most of us have good intentions but for every positive thought, there are usually countless more internal negative thoughts that counter it. We are masters at beating ourselves up with all of the “should have, not good enough, could have done better, can’t have, don’t deserve, etc.” statements and beliefs.
We can be frustrated that we are not reaching our goals, despite following “all the right steps”. Just when we start to make progress, a “Saboteur Sniper” attacks with an old and often unconscious belief or thought pattern and we are thrown off track. We slip back into the old patterns and the battle begins all over. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is an easy and very effective tool that can be used to tap on and release the emotional triggers that tend to sabotage our progress forward.
When we give permission to tell the truth of what our real feelings are (fear, doubt, anger, frustration, grief, etc.) while tapping with EFT, it allows the emotional charge to be released on a deep level. The Sabotage Sniper lays down its weapons of destruction and surrenders with acceptance and grace. Tapping with EFT brings you into the present moment where true inner peace is achieved and it opens up the road to freedom.
You are invited to attend “The Missing Peace” workshop on EFT where you will learn and explore this very easy technique that you can start putting into practice right at the workshop. Use EFT to gain peace with your health, finances, family, relationships, career, etc. Creating peace on earth starts with each of us being at peace within and it can start right now.

MONTHLY EFT ARTICLE - SHIFTING INTO MOTIVATION WITH EFT
Each newsletter issue will have a segment of EFT tapping with a particular theme. I hope you enjoy it and practice the tapping too!
Shifting Into Motivation with EFT
Some days can start out with great intentions of getting lots done and yet at the end of the day there is nothing checked off the “to do” list. It seems worse when the time becomes filled with “stuff” that just doesn’t matter.
Procrastination is a great tool for not getting things done. There are many excuses: “I’m too tired, I will do it later, I’m just taking a peak at the TV, only one more chapter, just a short rest, etc.” Unfortunately those few minutes expand and before you know it the day is over.
A multitude of distractions can pull you onto an obscure path. The internet is a great place where quickly checking e-mails leads to glancing at a web site, which turns into drilling down then exploring links and hours later….. Sound familiar?
Finding a balance of rest and action in life is important. However, if you are spending too much time avoiding then it is important to look at the core reasons of why the Sabotage Sniper is attacking and you are not reaching the goals you set out.
Tapping with EFT is a great way to shift from procrastination into motivation. By tapping on the underlying reasons of avoidance it clears the path to getting what you want done. The negative emotions can be released opening up the space for positive emotions and energetic actions to take their place.
It may be that there is too much to do and the overwhelm leads to a frozen feeling which results in doing nothing. Tapping on the feelings and then breaking large tasks and projects into baby steps can help.
On the other hand, tapping may open up to a realization that a guilt free break from stress is needed. For most of Western society, where production and accomplishment is praised, time is rarely taken to truly rest and heal. Overworked and burn out may be showing up as apathy and avoidance. For those who are going flat out all the time, true rest may be what is required rather than trying to gear up to do even more.
Each person processes things differently. EFT tapping helps to bring clarity to determine what the issues are and what you really need. Once clear, you can then tap for taking motivational steps. For some it may mean tapping to clear out the sluggish feeling that is blocking movement to get things done. For others it may be tapping to allow and give permission to take a restful and healing afternoon nap or a walk.
Here is what an EFT tapping session on shifting motivation could be like:
(See www.pivotpoint4u.com for tapping points and a full description of how EFT works)
Tap the Karate Chop (side of the hand) the Set-up phrase (repeated up to 3 times) then the tapping phrase sequence (top of head, eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, chin, collar bone, under arm) is repeated for as many rounds as needed, adding new words or phrases as they come up, until a more balanced feeling is present. Once neutralized, go onto the next set-up and tapping phrase.
Karate Chop Set-up:
“Even though I have no motivation to do anything, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.”
Tapping a phrase on each point:
"I am just so tired, I don’t have any energy to do anything, I can’t get motivated, this sluggish feeling, nothing is getting done, I have so much to do, all these mindless distractions, I keep procrastinating, this tiredness is slowing me down."
Karate Chop Set-up:
“Even though I am feeling overwhelmed and can’t seem to get anything done, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”
Tapping a phrase on each point:
"I don’t have any energy, I am so busy at doing nothing, it’s just not working, I’m so tired, I’m always procrastinating, I don’t have any balance in my life, I’m wasting so much time, this overwhelming feeling, I don’t know what guilt-free rest would be like."
These sequences can be repeated for as many rounds as needed. Once a more neutral feeling is present the following positive phrases can be introduced until it feels complete.
Tapping a phrase on each point:
"I choose to release all this guilt, It feels so good to let this peaceful feeling in, I love the feeling of harmony inside of me, I release all these overwhelmed feelings, I choose to feel calm and balanced, I release this feeling of apathy, I allow bliss to flood my body, I am filled with joy and enthusiasm, I am so grateful for this loving feeling."
We all need to have a healthy balance of physical action and soulful rest. When overwhelmed with options or dealing with stress and being overworked it can lead to apathy, lack of energy and procrastination. EFT tapping can bring clarity of what the true underlying needs are. You can then tap on the emotions that come up which allows the shift into action or rest. EFT helps you to become motivated to make healthy choices to take the right steps to restore your natural balance.
