EFTMUSE

Try using EFT with this statement

Remember you can change the language to your own.

"What if I took amazing care of myself. What would my life be like".

See what objections "show up" and use those for tapping fodder.

Tapping into the physical

Have you tried using EFT (tapping) to get information from the body? When something "shows up" such as a sore muscle, hand, foot, neck etc. Tap and ask:

"What does this mean?" While tapping through the points, or maybe just your favorite points. Ask the question at each point.

For a change of pace try tapping or rubbing slowly and taking a deep slow breath at each point. This gives time to let the body "talk" to you. If information comes, now use those thoughts or feelings to tap. 

What if........

What if Jan. 1 st wasn't the day to make a fresh start? What if april or May was? That's when nature renews itself and starts a new life. It makes sense to me. After all Jan. Is the dark, cold, middle of winter when everything is "sleeping/resting/conserving energy". Maybe we need to also. I think Spring is the perfect time for renewal and beginning again. For enjoying nature and feeling energetic once more. Try tapping on being gratefull for: longer, warmer, sunny days. Being able to walk barefoot, eat ice cream and fresh from the garden veggies these next months, for not having to wear that winter coat and so much more. Enjoy the day. Play hooky.....take a "well" day from your daily routine.

Happy New Year, Welcome 2010

Well, here we are again at the end of another year. How did it go with your resolutions for 2009? Remember what they were? I have a theory about that. Maybe failed resolutions are a part of us trying to fulfill the wishes of others and they just weren't right for us. Therefore they weren't my own. For 2010 I resolve to:

1. Be as kind to myself as I would be to a stranger or my Grandmother

2. Give myself a break, no one is perfect and I don't have to be either

3.Know that it takes 6 weeks to attain a new habit and 4-6 months for it to truly become a part of my life

4. Listen more closely to my body's needs and less to its wants

5. Allow more joy and happiness into my life

6. Get busy with my Spanish lessons

That seems like enough to "tap" with and on. What are yours?

An easy way to banish stress

Try using Yogic breathing + tapping on your favorite "point" or all of them (see right sidebar for printable tapping chart). Start by sitting or standing comfortably, then breathe in slowly to a count of 5, hold your breath for 5, then slowly breathe out for a count of 8-10 all the while tapping or rubbing EFT points.

What makes you happy?

We tend to be sold the idea that the latest "thing" will make us happy. Things don't generate happiness, they might be fun. But that wears off quickly and we go looking again. So what makes you happy? Use EFT for more awareness.

"Even if I might get confused about what makes me happy, I choose to be more aware of the real happiness in my life. It isn't_____(fill in the blank), it's________(fill in the blank) and I am grateful to know the difference. I don't need others telling me what will make me happy. Only I can know that."

A Tapping Tip

Try tapping with EFT using this phrase, or a variation you make.
"I bless and embrace all of my abilities, even those that_____". (fill in the blank-don't censor it)

RESCUE ME

The holidays are here again. Time for family and friends to gather together. Stress, the holiday Grinch always seems to be around. I have been experimenting with EFT and Rescue Remedy (Bach Flowers). I have done it 2 ways. One, put the Rescue Remedy on my fingertips and tap. Two, put the Rescue Remedy on the tapping points and proceed. Very interesting. Want to know more about Back Flowers, go to: www.bachremedies.com, www.nelsonbach.com  or "google" Bach Flowers. Try it and see what you think.

Are you hypnotized?

What is your "trance" of choice? You could also substitute the word "belief". Do you hear yourself say things like:

Thats the way it is. I can't do anything about it. What difference can I make? I'm such a _______(fill in the blank). I'm too _____(what? fat? thin? clumsy?). Everyone in my family is like that. I'll never be a success. I can't start my day without a________(coffee? coke? pastry?) Why not try: "That is my past, I'm not my past. I choose to make different choices that support me now. I may not be perfect but, no one else is either. I am lovable."

Lying on my back contemplating the ceiling

Is it Spring yet? Will the snow EVER end? What is this weird "stuff" I've had for almost 2 weeks? Oh well, do I want some whine with that? From what I hear it was pretty mild. Just a little coughing & low grade fever....hmmmmm. What I really want is to go out & play!!! Even though I feel funky, I know this to shall pass. Even if all I feel like doing is sleeping, what if my body needs the rest? WHAT......there's the first race of the season coming up. I choose to take this quiet time to re-energize my body & soul. To spring forward when I'm ready. There is no rush. Sigh. I shall visualize the race while tapping to remind my body of what to expect. After all it is an easy course. Meanwhile my inner voice is shouting...we weren't even planning on this one & YOU signed up in a moment of insanity! Everything will be fine...I've done this before...I know I can do it!
