A Novel Approach to EFT


I received an email about Dangerous Aspects, an exciting novel that includes EFT in the plot. I copied the entire email for you to read. If you decide that you want to purchase it, do it on September 12 via amazon.com--to help it get on a best sellers list. In the email below there is a review by Tam Llewellyn-Edwards, EFT Master.--JoAnn


Dear All,

Dangerous Aspects
EFT needs a story. And now it has one!

I am writing to you with the encouragement of members of the AAMET Yahoo posting group Meridian-Energy@yahoogroups.com to tell you of plans afoot to promote, for our mutual advantage, the world’s first thriller novel that has Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Energy Psychology (EP) entwined throughout the story lines. The title is “Dangerous Aspects”.

Let me first give you a small amount of background information concerning the content of my email to you.

"Dangerous Aspects" “looks to the world” and so gives a glimpse to the future of EFT and the lives of everyday people!

Is my mail to you worthy?

My answer to you is this. I am an EFT therapist and trainer. I believe in the goodness of my work and I am pleased to have been inspired to write my debut novel that embraces in the story lines the topic of EFT/EP.

The aim of my work is to spread the healing messages of Energy Psychology and EFT in particular to the wider audience being those most likely to be readers of fiction and not self help books.

A recent incident is worth mentioning here. On the 27th August 2008 in my capacity of therapist I gave a talk and a practical demonstration of EFT to clients of the Pain Clinic at a local hospital. Within a minute or two of starting I asked the capacity audience; “Who has heard of EFT?” How excellent it would have been if just a few hands had raised in response! None did!

I feel it is time to act cohesively to overcome the general public's lack of awareness about the healing offered by the EFT/EP community. Pain sufferers are one such group of people we trained and committed ourselves to offer healing to, wouldn't it be good if we had an outreach mechanism to the popular 'fiction' readers market place?

Do we need to tell the world of our healing mission?
Or should we remain guardians of one of the best kept secrets ever?

I and many other members of Meridian-Energy group believe we should take the opportunity, using my work “Dangerous Aspects” as the lever, to tell the world by making a collective effort to put the book into the best sellers list. By being in the best seller lists the book will start to attract the attention of the wider market at a faster rate than could be hoped for in the self help genre.

Will you join us?

Metaphor and story telling has always been the most successful way of transferring wisdom from one to another. “Dangerous Aspects” has been inspired and written to do just that - to tell the world the EFT story and transfer the story into a reality for many who seek healing.

EFT/EP credentials: First thing to mention is that Tam Llewellyn, Mair Llewellyn and Gwyneth Moss have all contributed to the book and are named on the cover.

Of “Dangerous Aspects” Rue Hass wrote “I hope that the book finds its audience, and that it is a good vehicle for spreading the word about EFT.”

The publication of “Dangerous Aspects” is intended as a turning point in the growth of EFT: no longer “weird tapping stuff” but the stuff of a fast paced modern story with strong healing messages. Many more will follow:

Ann Adams wrote “I wish you well in your project. I hope to see many such novels using EFT as an option in the problem solving in the future.”

“Dangerous Aspects” is Milton language targeted at the mass market - a market that self help books may never reach. Story telling and metaphor have carried wisdom to the masses since time immemorial and this work is exactly that. With a little help from my friends and Godspeed it will soon reach its target audience by the millions.

The healing messages carried in "Dangerous Aspects" are targeted towards those who buy or read fiction and not necessarily self help books, yet all Mankind deserves to find healing. The concluding pages of the book have within them a large EFT/EP resources section to lead the readers to EFT/EP practitioners, books and AV material.

Tam Llewellyn has written the foreword to the book as well as the first review.

Gwyneth Moss has donated the penultimate page, an ‘EFT on a Page’ illustration.

Mair Llewellyn has created the cover of the book and as you can now see it is a wonderful and beautiful piece of Spirit-inspired art.

Mair said of the book “This is the first ever novel that has captivated me from cover to cover”

The plan is this:

Devised by British EFT Trainer Moira Buchanan, we buy as many copies of “Dangerous Aspects” as we can all on the same date.

Mair Llewellyn has suggested buying multiple copies and using them as gifts (or giveaways to clients also).

The suggested date for the multiple purchase has been set at the 12th September 2008.
What to do:
To maximize the chances of success would you please take it upon yourselves to forward this message to your lists? That would be: family, friends, co-workers, students and of course clients.

This mass buy-in will allow the book to rise through the sales audits. The objective is to try and make the top 100 best selling books in the shortest possible time. Once we have achieved this "Dangerous Aspects" will be able to be seen by those who purchase works of fiction which will therefore take the book – and its healing messages – into the mainstream market place. This will lead mass market readers to EFT/EP.

Can you help do this?

The selected retailer for the ‘buy in’ of “Dangerous Aspects” are either
www.amazon.co.uk

or

www.amazon.com

The thought of God/the Universe is in everything. So if you are undecided whether to help this project let me ask you to test yourself in the following way. Muscle test the following two statements:
Holding the thought of the book “Dangerous Aspects” ask “ is it for my higher and greater good to support the objectives of the work “Dangerous Aspects” and its healing objectives? You will stay strong and please remember this book contains violence, murder, kidnapping and drug running. With that combination you would expect to go weak; however the book is beautifully intentioned and you will stay strong.

Now ask a second question whilst being muscle tested. “Is it for the greater and higher good of the Universe and this World to support “Dangerous Aspects” and its healing objectives? You will stay strong!

So what will you do NOW with the two strong responses from your muscle test?

I do welcome your contribution to bring this work and its wisdom to those who need it with this fabulous plan. To be honest we can only bring more healing to the world than we are bringing now, so what’s not to do!
I am passionate to do all I can to bring healing and so peace to our World, and this is the purpose of my contacting you.

I thank those members of Meridian-Energy group who have encouraged me to make this outreach.
Your support would be fantastic!
Many thanks for your time and attention.

Many Blessings and Best Wishes,

And of course big hugs,

“Dangerous Aspects” by Colin Winston Aldridge

A review by Prof. Tam Llewellyn-Edwards, EFT Master.

See the review on the EFT web site here

Here we have a very exciting book – two books in one in reality.

Firstly it is a novel about a woman’s difficult divorce and a ‘good read’ it is too. You can read it simply as a novel with its twists and turns, its murders and intrigues. It is an entertaining novel you will not want to put down and it is worth reading.

The central character, Sondra Ackerman, finds her world turned upside down by the discovery of her husband’s involvement in drug racketeering. She did not realize that her decision to leave him and cooperate with the US Federal Authorities would result in the brutal murders of people she cared about and would put her precious children at dire risk. Sondra turns to her best friend, Connie, who is an alternative therapist, and eventually into the world of alternative health therapies when more traditional routes to help maintain her sanity collapse before her.

Sondra is forced to flee with her children, from her husband’s world of danger to the US Government’s Witness Protection Program, where she struggles to stay alive.

The story follows a web of rage, murder and deceit from Philadelphia to Mexico recounting her evermore desperate attempts to avoid her husband’s increasingly more vicious attempts to uncover her whereabouts and to silence her. When her children are involved the stakes become higher and Sondra must trust the local and federal authorities to save her family and a caring alternative therapy community to save her mind.

The second thread is a life coaching manual. The woman’s difficult situation produced almost intolerable stress causing her to seek therapy. Her journey to successful therapy is cleverly entwined into the story of the novel. You hardly notice it within the intricacy of the story, but the thread runs through the plot leading to a success which could stand as a lesson to us all when she tries Energy Psychology and is led to teach others Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).

You can read the novel first, but do not overlook the coaching manual. Everyone deserves to read both aspects of this book.
