Insider Secrets--for being a more successful EFT practitioner

I was recently introduced to Insider Secrets--it is for people WHO are interested in HAVING a more successful EFT BUSINESS. I know that I am interested in being more successful.

I would like to share one tip that I have learned from the following individuals (through audio interviews by Angela Treat Lyon. THEY are also transcribed--so, I listen to them and then read along while I take notes). Each interview is more or less than an hour.

• Lindsay KINNY is one of best EFT teachers around. I actually love assisting at her workshops. One point that she makes is not to take on clients if they are suicidal or if they are on 4-5 mood altering drugs. THEY OFTEN NEED MORE SPECIALIZED HELP--I'M A COACH, NOT A PSYCHOLOGIST.

• Carol Tuttle: She has made mucho dollars with EFT, and she started out doing FREE speaking engagements and created audios from those.

• Stacey Vornbrock: Tells her amazing story of how she switched from a therapeutic career to working with athletes (and she didn't know anything about athletics) and started out FREE until she felt confident about golfing and then started charging $100/hour.

• Angela Treat Lyon: She shares some of the major mistakes she made when she first started out doing EFT and what she would have done instead, RIGHT FROM THE START, AND HOW SHE WOULD market herself as an EFT practitioner--this is INVALUABLE for EFT practitioners WHO want more business.

• Ann Ross: She sounds so elegant with her beautiful British accent. At 56 years old, while looking for another job was told that she was too old. While studying to be a therapist she discovered EFT. One of the things she talks about is branding. She emphasizes how important it is to speak the language of the people you talk to.

• Rebecca Marina: She is a Texan live wire!!! Her story is fascinating. I am using one of the ways that she shares on how to be more intuitive. Intuition is vital for doing great EFT sessions.

I am trying to listen to one interview a day. I am impressed with what I have listened to so far. I haven't yet listened to: Brad Yates on abundance, Samantha Hartley on branding, Colleen Fanagan, Dr. Joe Rubino, Gwyneth Moss, Pat Carrington, and Rue Hass to name a few. There is a lot more GREAT STUFF.

If you are interested, you can go to this link. There is a half price sale going on right now. Check it out!!!

This is like going to a workshop, but you don't have to waste gas, pay for a hotel, and you can listen to it in your bath robe and bedroom slippers (if you wish).

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

How to stop pigging out

Recently I heard that from now through the rest of the year a large part of the population gains 10 pounds. WOW!!! The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer. Then there is Halloween... then Thanksgiving and all of the stuffing. And if that wasn't enough--then comes the Christmas season. Finally there's, the New Year's celebrations. With all of these events comes celebrating with our friends and family with lots of food and sometimes alcohol. Shew, just thinking about it gives me a stomachache.

But wait, there is something that you can do! Tada--EFT. If you haven't used EFT to eat less, then you are missing out on an extra powerful use of this valuable tool.

How would you start? With EFT this is no one cookie cutter answer for every single person. However, one way would be to first tap on your unwillingness to miss out on any of the goodies that may be coming your way through the rest of the year.

You could tap on your karate chop point, saying:

Even though:

* my inner child doesn't want to give up any goodies--ever, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
* there is a part of me that feels like I deserve all of the goodies that are offered to me, and I don't want to say "no" to any of them...
* no one can make me not eat any of the goodies that I have been looking forward to all year...
* there is a part of me that feels that I don't want to control myself around any of the treats that are going to be available the rest of the year...

If your inner child is anything like mine, she feels like she deserves it ALL. Oh yeah, you might want to add at the end of one or more of the above statements:

* I forgive myself for pigging out in the past
* I forgive myself for being out of control with goodies and treats--I really was doing the best I could at that time

I would love for you to make comments. Sometimes I feel like no one is out there (and I know that you are).

With love and respect for where you are on your path to respecting your body and how you are with food.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Toddler's fear of water shifts to excitement in less than 5 minutes

Kamala is a sweet little three-year-old girl who happens to be my goddaughter. She has beautiful blue eyes just like her mother, Kristin. Last week, I took my granddaughter, Tessa, and met up with Kristin and Kamala at a toddler's swim class. After the class, we went into the hot tub, and then Kristin suggested that we all go play in the outside pool.

It was a gorgeous day and the outdoor pool water felt deliciously warm. We happily shared the pool with a senior water exercise class, women rhythmically moving their bodies across the pool. Kristin and our little ones hung out near the steps in the shallow water. Tessa and I played together, counting to three, before I threw her as high in the air as I could. When she splashed down, I followed her under water. With our eyes open and huge grins, we swam up to the surface. Kristen tried to coax Kamala out into the deeper water. Kamala, who was whining, didn't want to move off the step. Her mother kept saying, "Don't worry, Kamala, you will be safe."

I asked Kristin if it would be OK to do EFT on Kamala and she nodded. Deciding that getting Kamala to tap probably wouldn't work, I chose to do some surrogate tapping. Looking into Kamala's eyes, I said, "Even though I am Kamala and I don't want to get all wet, I am an OK kid," and "Even though I am afraid of the water, I am an OK kid."

Kamala told me that she didn't want to get her face wet. I added that to the set-up phrase (while tapping on my karate chop points on the sides of my hands), Even though I don't want to get my face wet, I am an OK kid. Then I started tapping the points on my body while I was saying reminder phrases such as: afraid of the water and don't want to get my face wet. It only took one round and Kamala changed her stance. She started laughing. Then all four of us were counting to three as Kristin and I tossed our little ones into the air. Kamala went under water and got her hair wet, doing so without any fear!!! Kamala and Tessa kept screaming at the top of their lungs, "Again, again!!!"

In a few moments, my goddaughter had gone from terrified and whiny to delighted and excited. Once again, EFT came through.

A diabetic's swelling of his legs disappears in 10 minutes

Bill is part of my extended family. Though 89, he has remained quite active. He loves taking care of the exotic tropical plants in his yard. They remind him of the years he and his wife lived in Hawaii. He also enjoys getting out and walking their two little dogs in the park.

My mother told me that Bill had recently fallen and fractured his pelvis. This came after back surgery. Confined to crutches and a walker for two months, Bill needed a lot of help from his wife, Bettie. As a result, my mom and Bettie hadn't been able to play the penny slots at the casinos. Besides taking care of Bill, Bettie had to do all the chores as well as the grocery shopping—which she hated.

During my recent trip to visit my mother, we were able to spend some time with Bettie and Bill. We enjoyed the shade from their tropical plants as we chatted in their courtyard. After catching up, I told them about EFT and how I thought it could benefit them. My mother didn't want to stay long, so I explained how EFT worked as quickly as I could. Bettie mentioned a chronic pain in her knee with an intensity level of "4". Bill was on painkillers, so reported no pain. He showed us his swollen leg, a result of his diabetes, which I didn't even know he had. He told us that he had a doctor's appointment the next morning because of his concern with his leg.

Pressed for time, we were still able to squeeze in one round of EFT. Though somewhat skeptical, both Bettie and Bill tapped with me for the first time. After we finished, Bettie was astonished to find that the pain in her knee had disappeared. Bill commented that his ankle felt less stiff.

The next morning, as I packed my suitcase to come home, my mother walked in and handed me the phone. It was Bill. He said, "I think you are really on to something." He went on to tell me that the swelling had decreased in his legs. They were so much better that he had just canceled his doctor's appointment.

I spoke with him again several days later the swelling had not returned. He said that he is sold on the tapping and has done some by himself, too. How cool that is, I thought; another success for EFT.
