Emotional Freedom Technique

begins this coming Monday at 8 pm and lasts till Wednesday March 2. Listen to as many interviews as you can and tap along. It's free during those ten days.

... is now in progress and will continue online until March 3.

I am not sure if anybody reads this but hope someone does.

Love and Money

This week I heard several stories from people about their relationship to money. There was a deep seated unconscious belief that was holding up their experience.

One woman began our session by saying, "I am afraid I am going to run out of money." Having come from a very restricted life, she is now making huge brave changes - selling her house, moving to a new city, going back to school in a graduate program, buying a new house. She was aware that her family's belief culture around money had a powerful effect on her, but she didn't know quite how to change it.

A man I talked with has a very good job, which used to be fun and interesting, but now is weighty with demands and restrictions. He is feeling trapped and stuck. In his heart he wants to quit, "But," he said, "money has to come from my job. Nothing comes for free. You have to work hard to get it. You gotta bust your butt."

This man had had a carefully crafted plan in place that was going to lead to scaling back in his job and eventually gaining his freedom, but his plan seemed to be foiled now by the economy. He was feeling helpless to make things better.

He too comes from a family with scarcity in its map of the world.
As I tapped with both of these good people, I had an insight into something I have thought a lot about but hadn't put together in just this way.

What beliefs or presuppositions hold scarcity in place?

Both of these people are smart and honorable. They have good intentions. There must be some way that holding on to a scarcity model of the world was serving them.

As I talked and tapped with Joyce and Mike, the underlying structure began to emerge. Joyce was told often that she couldn't ask for things. She was told that asking meant she was selfish. Eventually she determined, in her child mind, that "I am not supposed to have what I want. I am not even supposed to want. It is not safe to want anything, I have to make myself small and keep quiet to survive."

Joyce learned to honor her family's belief system above her own.

She was holding on to a scarcity model of the world for herself that was about survival in her family, and therefore the world.( Collapse )

If you have not yet heard of Robert Smith and his Faster EFT/NLP combination you might want to check out his videos on YouTube.

I enjoyed his explanations both of problem structure and how/why EFT works (it's a bit different from Gary Craig's). I tapped along with some of the videos and managed to get rid of quite a bit of habitual tension in my thighs and solar plexus.

"Even though" I am more used to a bit longer tapping sequence than his I am definitely going to continue both watching and tapping.

To my friends, families and allies:
The following is a recently released statement from Leonard Peltier that I hope you will circulate widely. Also please subscribe to the listserve to get immediate updates and encourage your friends.
I also want to ask you if you would consider helping me with doing research on the Internet in regards to Peltier. There is a lot of information that we need to collect: Leonard's past statements, media and celebrity contacts, county/state/federal officials who have expressed support for Peltier and how to contact them.
If you are willing to help me with this, please reply and I’ll place you in a group so that everyone can get more done quickly and I’ll wade through the information.
We are approaching a critical point in Leonard's campaign, and we will need massive support from around the world. So any volunteer help is going to appreciated. We have a website under construction, and we would want everyone to know when we change over. Also, there is an important event (Feb. 6th) in Boulder,CO for Peltier on the 33rd year of his capture in Canada. Chief Leonard Crow Dog and LP DOC members, Betty Ann Peltier-Solano, Kari Ann Cowan (Leonards sister & niece, respectively), David Hill and myself. The Leonard Peltier Branch Support in Boulder, along with other student organizations is hosting this event.
There is also a noon rally at the courthouse, followed by a meeting for committee members to finalize the presentation of their strategy to free Leonard. This is it and we will need EVERYONE to help us. I believe that once you see the pattern and focus of our strategy, you will see the importance in joining a “Final Offensive” in this 33 year long campaign. Hope to hear from many of you.

In the Spirit of freedom,

STATEMENT FROM PELTIER: A Hero’s welcome (1/31/2009)

I want to thank each and everyone of you for your efforts in my urgent time of need, you cannot imagine how much my spirit has been lifted from the cards and letters, the phone calls and how everyone kept up the pressure. My gratitude is really more than I can express.
My return to Lewisburg was met like a hero’s welcome, and many people came to assure me of my safety there. It is so ironic that the prisoners in a federal maximum-security prison can guarantee my safety, but the Bureau of Prisons will not. I did not say, “cannot”, but “will not” do so. You have to remember the BOP is a little brother to the FBI and they came from an illegitimate mother called the JUST-US (Justice) Department.
Do I sound a little angry? Well, I am angry that many of my friends have died in assuring my survival while I’ve been in prison. All the men who were involved in my escape at Lompoc, all died mysteriously soon after: Dallas Thundershield at Lompoc, Bobby Garcia at Terre Haute, and Rocky Duenas, whose body was never recovered. And Standing Deer, he gave away his life when he revealed the assassination plot against me. He lived under the shadow of death for years, waiting to be killed for defying the government, until he was eventually paroled to Texas. He was murdered soon after the same person who contracted him to have me assassinated warned him about his involvement with my campaign. Surviving this attack brought back memories of those losses, and it is with tears of more gratitude in my eyes and in my heart that no one died this time. I don’t ever want to lose another brother in protecting me; a human life is precious and important.
I know in other countries, prisoners who have been held by their government have been placed in house arrest after they have attained international support as I have. If the BOP cannot guarantee my safety to the extent the prisoners here can, then I demand to be returned to my nation, Turtle Mountain, where I can be assured of my safety!
Turtle Mountain has issued a resolution to transfer me into their custody, and they have asked to meet with Obama on a nation-to-nation basis. This has to happen and it will when a lot of energy is placed behind it. In the past 18 days your efforts brought me out of the hole and to where there is a measure of safety.
The FBI has said that I will never leave prison alive, and we should not accept that as an idle threat. There have been a few times that my life was targeted by the FBI in the 33 years since my capture, and each of those who have helped me to survive are now dead. The transfer and attack at Canaan is just a warning to me of what is to come. The warden’s know of the psychological make-up of their inmate population in their prison, and they clearly knew that placing someone who is well known, as I am, with connections to many famous people and at my age, I would be subject to predatory attacks. This was deliberate by the BOP, and as far as the motivation for the attack, it could have been ordered by any prison official at the request of the FBI, or someone trying to curry favor from the feds. It could have also been a tactic to beat me into submission for purposes of extortion or something as stupid as trying to make a reputation.
We know they are afraid and Trimbach’s smear letter support that. They see pressure, in the form of your letters and calls, growing and they know that my committee has been tirelessly developing plans to set up a wave of activity. The FBI is now afraid that they will fail to keep me falsely imprisoned. We are becoming stronger and we must keep building our network to succeed.
I am proud of the brother’s & sisters, the Elder’s and my family who make up the committee; they have all personally sacrificed more than many people may ever know. It is humbling when I hear about the difficulties they have had due to being associated with me, but they do not quit. They are putting in many hours of their lives that they could be spending with their own families, but I hear they are on the phones talking to people, writing letters, and networking through the computers. They have been criticized by a few people and have attempted to create divisions within the committee through spreading accusations about them. So let me say this, I know the people I have invited to serve on my committee, and I’ve known most of them for years. A couple of them are my Sun Dance brothers and I have entrusted my life in their abilities and their commitment to bring about my freedom. The decision I have made to place them in their positions of responsibility is mine, not the critics. I ask all my supporters to ignore those who would have you waste your time listening to or reading petty gossip based upon jealousy or personal dislike. These are activities that the FBI uses to destroy a movement, and they are not the Indian way of doing things. So we need to be aware that those who are bad-mouthing my committee, and talking behind their backs to smear them, may be infiltrators sent by the feds to tear down the committee. Watch out for those people and make some distance from them.
I am also asking all of my supporters and allies to follow the directions of the committee when the plans and strategies are presented at the Feb. 6th event in Boulder, CO. It had begun as an educational event and now it will be a very important event because of everything that has happened recently. We had wanted to release it when Obama was sworn in, but my transfer placed it on hold. I am a believer that nothing happens by accident or coincidence. It all happens for a reason, and it feels as if things are coming together the way they should. It is significant that an intense campaign will be begin after 33 years in captivity and with a newly elected President who could be receptive to my clemency appeal in office.
We will be making our message stronger in what we do and in how we will do it. I cannot stress how important it will be to increase our numbers after this event because the committee members, spokespersons, and their families will be making more personal sacrifices to help increase awareness. They’ll need your support in organizing other events and networking in your area.
Again, I want to thank everyone who wrote, called and emailed. My hand in appreciation is extended to those who have held rallies and protests on my behalf to call attention to the attack on me. I also extend my gratitude to Cynthia McKinney, former congresswoman for her recent letter to President Obama urging him to free other political prisoners and myself.
In all these years, there have been so many people who have prayed for my safety and freedom from all faiths. There is power in those prayers and that is what I know will bring about my freedom. I can feel something different this time, and many others have expressed the same thought to me. So when you pray, don’t pray only for me, but the warriors of AIM who have died for our people, the victims of the “Reign of Terror” on Pine Ridge, and other victims who has suffered as we have. Pray for their families as well. They must not be forgotten and they must have justice!
In the Spirit of Crazy Horse, Dallas Thundershield, Bobby Garcia, Rocky Duenas, Standing Deer, and in The Spirit of Total Resistance,
 
Leonard Peltier

Hi to everyone!
Happy to find this community!

And good news to everyone looking for free EFT DVDs:
I've found Basic Course here and
Steps to Becoming the Ultimate Therapist here .
Good luck!

And if any of you would love to share "From Eft to the Palace of Possibilities" through torrents - I would be very grateful!

For a long time I wasn't willing to try EFT because I thought it wouldn't work .. "it's too simple".... Well... I finally gave it a fair shot and I have to say, it's been very helpful. I'm experiencing less attachment to old relationships... letting the angst and resentment just slip away. I'm eating far more healthy and being very conscious of my previous patterns of emotional eating. Best of all, I've been able to use EFT to allow and enjoy the growth of my natural intuitiveness. The EFTer's that I enjoy employ really positive phrasing, like this guy,
Brad Yates

Enjoy this sample :)

 Don't know if this has been discussed before but I've just found what looks like an interesting aspect to tap on!
http://silviahartmann.com/eft-arti…

I have just tapped on a migraine (I think I shortened the pre-headache 'haze' by about 10 minutes) & I found myself feeling really peed off & thinking I'm so fed up with still having the damn things...that it's been going on too long & it's got to stop. (They began when I was 12..I'm now in my 30's!) so I googled for something else & found this inner child stuff!? Perhaps it will help... who knows, but I thought I would share it.

I do so little EFT that every time I get to do a session I get beyond excited.  Today two women came into my office for tarot readings (JOY!) and I did one reading, then turned to the other girl to start feeling her out for what she wanted to know.  I had a short list of concerns and questions, and then she says, "I feel like there are certain things from my past that just hold me back."

I said, "Well, without telling me what it is, can you think of at least one specific event that you feel holds you back?"  She burst out in tears!!!!  She couldn't speak.  I leapt.  I wanted to know how she was feeling (sad and angry) and at what level on the scale (10).  

We did ONE round of tapping, just the facial points and the collar bone point (starting with the karate chop point of course) and her sadness and anger was completely gone.  She just kept saying she felt acceptance.  I asked if she could forgive and she said yes.  Well.... I've never seen anyone who let go of something that deep so quickly so I probed.

"Sometimes when we experience certain emotional and/or physical traumas, the mere thought of those things can cause us physical sensations.  Like thinking about a certain past event might give you a headache or a back ache.  So think about the event and notice if you experience any physical sensation."  She did.  A tingling in her stomach.  That's all, not nausea.  Just tingling.  So I tapped that too and it went away.  She spent the rest of her tarot reading, I could see it in her eyes when she did it, trying to evoke some negative feelings thinking about the memory and she just couldn't.  It was gone.  

Man, that was cool.  A lot of her reading had to do with her ability to move forward.  She felt pretty empowered by the time she left, I think.  I'm just giddy over how well that went.
