Maybe we should begin ‘tapping’ on our fear and reluctance of being honest with ourselves

and each other.  How much is greed at the center of the rush to apply the Law of Attraction?  Why is the bulk of that which we wish to ‘attact’ material things rather than love, wisdom, insight, health?  Are our ‘self-perpetuating’ problems beyond changing at this point in our history?  Where does EFT and allied techniques fit in?  Let me know your thoughts.

With all the focus on the Royal Wedding lately, it got me to thinking about all the traditions associated with weddings, such as I knew them, and the rhyme about “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” came to mind.

And that cascaded my thoughts into the something old, something new of EFT, how its roots are so ancient; how its overlay is so contemporary.

More than 3000 years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, a man was making his way from Italy to Austria (of course they weren’t called by that name back then!), crossing the Alps when a bad fate befell him and he died in a mountain pass.  Only recently was his body found and he has become known as “The Iceman”, since he was preserved remarkably well by the ice fields for over 5000 years.

Especially interesting to us were the tattoos on his body, many of which were exactly on traditional Chinese acupuncture points for low back pain.  And, indeed, x-rays confirmed advanced arthritis of his spinal joints. Acupuncture points used for upset stomach were also tattooed, and autopsy showed his intestines riddled with whipworms.

Interestingly, he was not Chinese, but rather a European.  5000 years ago! And similar findings have shown up in places as far away as South America and Siberia.  Tattooed acupuncture points found on mummies.  This implies a very ancient development of concepts central to acupuncture and “energy medicine.”

So, there is nothing new about acupuncture and its concept of subtle energies that travel on and through the body.  What is “new” is the combining of a stimulation of these “meridians of energy” with a purposeful focus on an emotionally based physical or mental problem.  And that, simply put, is EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Amazing how the mind connects “dots” — Something Old, Something New.

To be personally empowered is to feel super-charged with renewed inner strength and confidence, to actually follow through with the inner goals you dared dream.  Imagine attaining your goals without all the negative inner noise that sets you up for failure.

Let’s face it — most of us know our own “limitations.”  What we don’t realize is that some of those limitations could be “family folklore” that we bought into early on.  Some common examples

• you’re going to be heavy like grandma
• we come from the wrong side of the tracks
• it’s spiritual to be poor
• life is hard — it’s a dog eat dog world
• you have to come from money to make money
• you have to have a good education to make money

The list goes on and on.  Before you know it you are unconsciously committed to the destructive self-fulfilling prophecies. Can it change?  Sure, there are plenty of programs out there designed to set you on the road to success.  But, do you follow through once the initial “fired-up” feeling wanes?   Usually not.  In creeps the old feelings and fears.  Before you know it, you’re back in the same rut, sometimes with even more negative backtalk than before because you or “It” failed.

Recognize yourself here? Want a tool to implement personal change for good? EFT can do just that.  By teaching you to get in touch with your own negative thoughts and diffusing the negative emotion, your potential is limitless the way it was meant to be — before life experiences got in the way.  Sounds too good to be true?

Like the story in the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy didn’t realize she always had the power to get back to Kansas.  It was in her ruby slippers.  For us, it’s in our fingertips and it doesn’t involve magic.The power within is the key to unlocking all the other programs you’ve tried.  And “tapping” into these powers is the key to unblocking your promise.

Performance empowerment seems to be the new draw for more and more people nowadays. Looking for ways to increase your performance, be it in sales, sports, relationships, academics – you name it – can lead you up and down many paths as you seek out various approaches to being “better”, being “more”.  And, many of those approaches will bring results up to a point, and then it’s time for another plan, another approach because that one didn’t quite do it for you…you still know that you can do better, that something is blocking you from your goals.

What if the one thing that is blocking you is your own “fear of success” or your “fear of failure”? Almost always there are  limiting beliefs, the old “yeah, but” that follows in your mind whenever you try to change your thinking to a more positive approach.  After all, we’ve all been told repeatedly that positive thoughts, the Power of Positive Thinking, is at the core of all successful approaches to achieving your goals, right?  But try as you might to be consistently positive in your internal statements and images, for most people there’s always that negative follow-up in your thoughts, the “yeah, but” that effectively cancels out the positive.  No wonder the poor subconscious mind remains confused and refuses to cooperate.

Those limiting beliefs, those negative self-statements are in need of “Spring Cleaning” if you are to make any progress at all on empowering your performances.  It’s that simple.  No plan, no program of improvement, will ever succeed if you continue to sabotage your efforts.  You must find a procedure that allows you to change the limiting beliefs, and one that is simple to apply, easy to learn, and works!

And that brings us to what I consider to be the Ultimate Spring Cleaning Tool for the mind – EFT, because it meets all those criteria: simple to apply, easy to learn, and it works.  For more information on EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) take a look at our web site at www.EFTHelp.com.  It’s Spring Time…time for beginning to clean up that “dirty” mind of its negative hinderances to progress.

In case you missed David Feinstein’s recent article on the state of Oregon’s recent crack down on the use of the term “Energy Psychology“, the link is below.  I believe it was Dr. Feinstein himself that several years ago in an article pointed out that Energy Psychology would face huge obstacles in the form of “turf wars”, resistance from the “mental health” professions and from the pharmaceutical industries.  A moments reflection on the reasons for this  makes it obvious: money and power/control.  Nothing new there.  Same old tactics that have been in use by the medical powers-that-be for over a century: control and eliminate in the name of public safety, ignore or dispute as “unscientific” all evidence regarding the efficacy of anything that threatens the turf, anything that threatens the hard-won position of power.So, anyone got another term for “psychology” that can be used to avoid the Turf Police?
