How EFT Changed My Life and Career; It Can Change Yours
I was the only one of the five of us who went on to use EMDR in my practice. Francine Shapiro's method works. It works amazingly well, but using it is traumatic for the patient and the therapist.
I helped many people with EMDR, but more importantly, what started as a weekend lark opened the way for me to answer the invitation to learn about Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techinques. I knew that things that sounded odd worked, I was open to learning more.
The Transition from EMDR to EFT
and a Tribute to Gary Craig, the Father of EFT
At the time my practice was therapeutic. I had training in analytical, cognitive, behavioral and other methods. My practice centered on psychological problems and my methods incorporated what I thought was necessary for particular people.EMDR was another tool that helped me help people. I incorporated it into my practice quickly. I used it with analytical patients, people who wanted to look at dynamics, but were just so stuck on one issue they couldn't progress. They and I were excited. But I worried because EMDR is so traumatic!
However, I soon had a reputation for curing trauma and doing it quickly. Workman's Comp and Disability companies anxious to help people and get them back to work starting sending me clients.
Joe (not his name) had been injured in an industrial accident 30 years earlier. He had fallen into a vat of boiling oil. He had received excellent medical care at the time, but no one thought to help him with the emotional residue of this horrific experience. Additionally, he was receiving ECT (electo shock therapy ) several times a month. I worried that this would interfere.
I had just learned EFT and was pleased that I was getting the same results in a much gentler, non-truamatic way.
Joe was a though case tough, and I wanted some help. I e-mailed Gary Craig at www.emofree.com. Now you have to know that in my business asking for help had a cost. People were happy to consult on or supervise on any case, for a fee. However, I thought, 'what the heck' maybe I will get a prefunctory e-mail that could help.
Imagine my pleasant surprise when 20 minutes later the phone rang, and the voice from my training tapes was on the other end! Gary Craig spent the next half hour on the phone helping me sort out this case.
The good news is that EFT and Gary's website is growing and growing fast. More people are using it all the time. The bad news is that Gary just can't make very many of these calls anymore. But his generosity of spirit remains. EFT works, the method is solid, and it is rooted in a tradition that allows for profit and sharing.

What EFT Can Do for YOU!
The All Gain and No Pain Method that Works When Nothing Else Has
So, you are legitimately asking, what's in it for me?A lot.
What I want you to do is the think about what is blocking your business success right now. You may have tried other things, read all the books but you are still where you started. EFT is here for you.
Are you afraid to fly? Do you have to turn down those business trips that would put you on the fast track?
I have seen people's fear of flying vanish in a matter of minutes. I have offered to go to the airport for tough cases, but have yet to have to do that.
Are you afraid to ask the boss for a raise? We would find out why? Does he remind you of a coach who cut you from the team, so much so that you irrationally feel you will be fired for asking? We work on that specific thing. Is it simply the fear of hearing 'no'? That's where we would go.
Do you want to start a business, but feel you don't deserve to be in charge? We can identify which of your concerns are irrational and based on emotions, and free you from those.
The possibilities are limitless. And painless.

Hydrate Thyself!
Most people don't drink enough. I have had cases with EFT where it just wasn't working at all. Then I asked them when was the last time they had some water. They couldn't remember.However, remember that electrical systems conduct better with liquid. The meridians are closely related to the human electrical systems.
So, when it isn't working and I give them some water, suddenly we get results!
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day!

- I appreciate being able to use EFT when other things I have tried haven't helped. I begin to relax and even though my problem may not go away immediately it does get better. Thanks for sharing this information about EFT.

- True and very interesting what eft can do with our lives. EFT done with deep breathing after each tapping point will automatically induce a trance. EFT training ; it is extremely powerful and the results are lasting.

- I have been afraid to fly in the last years, very afraid. When I met my husband he did not live near me and I had to fly to see him. I had to just get on the plane and be afraid, face my fear. I did not know about E.F.T. then so I just faced the fear and it did get easier, but I do still feel somewhat afraid even today. I just tapped on it after reading what you said about fear of flying. I have not ever tapped on it until today.
In 2007 my hubby and I took a trip to Kauai which meant many hours of flying over the ocean....It has gotten easier by just simply facing the fear, but since I feel the fear is still there I did tap on it.

- That is cool you got a call from Gary Craig. Great story! I have been working on money issues and have had to tap many times over many different issues for it and have found I am unblocking on the issue. Now I am working besides still on that weight, creativity as I have felt bored lately in my life. It is nice to read about your experience with E.F.T. I wrote one on E.F.T., but it is not as nice as yours. I am going to lensroll this to mine and to Bob's lens.

My Bio
For Arrowsmith Printing 9/22/08
I was born into a small business, I believe that small business and entrepreneurs are the backbone of America and what has made us great. They are what made us great and will save us in these unsure times. I have never wanted to have a great job. Well, better a great one, than a boring dead end one, and I have had both. But I have never really wanted a job at all.
Don't get me wrong, I am a hard worker. I have worked a full-time job, a part time job and a private practice all at the same time for a lot of years in my past. It isn't the work, its the working for someone else. Never wanted to do that, and I don't understand those who want to do that.
When I was six months old my parents bought their first small town weekly newspaper in Iowa. This was back in the day, back when small town newspapers were not just advertising sheets. Perhaps there are still some of them that are real, I hope so.
So I came by this perverse nature naturally. My path to self employment has been different than theirs, but it has always been my path, my direction.
Growing up in Iowa, in the fifties, I also grew up politically conservative. By the time I was 30 I was radically left. Today? I am proudly liberal and what that means will be clearer as we progress.
However, I have had conflicts about 'taking advantage of people'. I now know that employing people is not automatically taking advantage of them, but it took a while for me to learn that nothing is intrinsically good or bad. Well, almost nothing.
I have educated myself in business, I have a small business and I have used EFT and other energy clearing methods to help me clarify the old conflicts and move forward.
My mission here is to provide a forum for people who want to work independently through one person businesses or through employing others and for whom the betterment of human kind is an important value. My lenses are about offering good products, teaching people about betting their lives, and using the money they make for their pleasure and the benefit of others.
That is how I see business and if you have a similar vision I invite you to my blog www.creatingbusinessenergy.com
