Let's Send Our Light

Dear Cat and Friends (I just posted this message on Cat's blog, Finding Well-Being in Cancerland.)

How about at Sunday, July 29, at 1 pm pacific standard time everyone send energy to Cat? Everyone please forward this message to your frends. Let's join in spirit.

Tappers can tap. Prayers, pray. Lightworkers everywhere, send healing light to Cat--similar to what was done a few weeks ago for "fire the grid." This activity is portable and can be repeated again and again. Let's join this Sunday at 1 pm pacific time, and send healing energy to Cat.

Tappers: Tap on anything that is getting in the way of Cat experiencing peace (including our limiting beliefs and stories). Be in the present moment, and use your intuition.

"There is a Power, and this Power always has been. I know that it is here right now, and that this power is in Cat, and is Cat. "(If any tailenders come up--tap). Surrogate tapping clears away physical pain, and what is under it.

"Cat is making the right choices for the moment. We know that Cat is whole and complete. We know this is true, and we give great thanks for it. And so it is."

Pass it on to kindred souls.

A Day of Healing and Love




Last month Gary Craig asked me if I wanted to gather together a group of ten people to do some surrogate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) work. He requested I invite people who were already into EFT – not beginners or skeptics, so there wouldn't be any need to explain or defend EFT. By the way, surrogate tapping is when you tap on behalf of someone else, instead of the most common of way tapping for yourself.

After putting word out to my own network, I found a group of interested people that I stayed in contact with about the event. Then I called around to some hotels in the Mendocino area to see about a place for the event However, my friend, Eileen Broderick, offered her home, which is north of the town of Mendocino. We ended up taking her generous offer and wound up meeting in her living room. Saturday, July 14 was the day of the event. Everyone who said that they would show up did. Shoshi Morginn drove all the way from close to the border of Canada, and Donna Bach traveled from Sonora near Yosemite. Everyone brought food to share at lunch (which was delicious). There was a large variety of people in our group of EFTers, including a lawyer, a couple of nurses, a naturopathic doctor, a couple of administrators, a grief counselor, and a life coach. Everyone was on time and there was a sense of excitement in the air before our day of EFTing together began. Outside it was a beautiful foggy day at the coast.

Gary gave some groundwork for what we would be doing. Then, as a group, we started tapping for someone while they were sitting with us in the room. We would begin with saying, "Even though I am (the person's name)". The person who was being worked on would receive the tapping. Gary would lead us in a round or more of tapping and then ask the person who was being worked on what their SUDS level was. Sometimes we wouldn't actually tap, we would imagine all of the tapping points pulsing simultaneously with our own heartbeat. Another method that we used was for a person to walk around outside for 15 minutes while we tapped for them.

After our group session with the first person, Donna Bach, N.M.D., brought in a machine that could tune into the different frequencies of the brain. We were eager to see how the brain waves coordinated with what we were doing with EFT. Donna showed how our alpha and beta brain waves increased as we thought about an emotionally painful situation from the past. As a person had EFT done for them, Donna watched the feedback from the machine, then drew little graphs showing the different patterns.

By the end of the day, not only had a great deal of old emotional trauma been healed, a number of friendships were kindled as well. It was a beautiful experience working together as a group for the benefit of someone. It reminded me of a prayer circle with the added bonus of tapping or sometimes "virtual "tapping. It was a social and spiritual experience for me. Not only that, as Gary Craig might say, "it is portable." It is amazing how miracles can happen when a group of people get together with a common goal. For me, it was a day of healing and love.

Former UHS teacher works to empower individuals




When I came home from a week visiting my daughter, Christina, and friends
in Santa Cruz, and also visiting Santa Maria and putting on a mini-EFT class there was a message from a reporter saying that he had seen an ad that I had put in an advertiser (about getting rid of phobias with EFT) that was intriging to him and he would like to interview me. He came up the next day with a photographer to interview me. I suggested that I actually do an EFT session with him.

We had a great time getting rid of his phobia of bees (there were bees and other insects flying around us outside and he was quite anxious). Here is a link to the article that Zack Sampsel wrote. It made the front page of the Ukiah Daily Journal today. I ran into three people at the market and the post office who told me they had seen the article.
