• Attracting Abundance with EFT - Review
  As an emotional freedom coach, I find that many clients have anxiety and worry around money and success. Inside, they know they have not reached their potential for financial abundance. They have resistance, fears, guilt, past failures, inner conflicts, and limiting beliefs about money that block their ability to use the law of attraction to allow well-being to flow into their lives. I highly recommend this book to my clients, and it is the study guide we use in our Thriving Now Team's Attracting Financial Abundance workshops.
   
• Carol Look: Attracting Abundance with EFT E-Book - Second Edition Released
  EFT Master Carol Look has now published the second edition of her best-selling book, Attracting Abundance with EFT. This book steps you through Carol’s unique approach to attracting financial abundance with EFT. I have had the pleasure of reading and re-reading this book several times throughout its development, tapping along with the exercises and doing the Abundance Games she includes. It is outstanding, and as you can see from the table of contents (see article), Carol covers a broad range of issues providing the EFT setup phrase, a standard tapping round, and an empowering positive round in a way that leaves you feeling energized. The second edition includes ten new abundance tapping sequences and new chapters covering Specific Events, Tell the Story, Finding Your EFT Target, and The Intensity Rating. It is available both as an e-book (electronic book) with audio recordings included in MP3 format and as a paperback (without audios).

• Gary Craig - EFT
  Gary Craig is both the creator of EFT, emotional freedom techniques, and a wonderful teacher. I have spent countless hours studying Gary’s EFT DVD Video Series (all the sets), reading his free EFT manual and newsletters, and attending workshops where Gary has worked on-stage with individuals with a broad range of physical and emotional challenges. Learning from such a master of the art of emotional freedom has been a wonderful experience for me, as it has for thousands of other professionals and motivated individuals.
   
• Healing the Cycle of Addiction with EFT
  Treating addictions with EFT requires an understanding of the stages of addictive behavior and a directness that cuts through the smoke and mirrors that those who are addicted use to hide their behaviors and feelings of guilt and shame from others... and from themselves. Both Carol Look and David Rourke are EFT masters with extensive experience working with addictions. In this audio CD set, they take both professionals and lay people through nearly 7 hours of coaching and practical applications.

  EFT master Carol Look is the international EFT leader in the fields of attracting abundance, weight loss, pain relief, addictions, and smoking cessation. I particularly recommend her e-book, Attracting Abundance with EFT, to ALL my clients.
   
• Try It On Everything … Seriously!
  Those who try EFT diligently for just 21-days start becoming more aware, more honest with themselves, more self-accepting, and feeling more empowered. The movie Try It On Everything (http://www.tryitoneverything.com) demonstrates what happens in four days. What kind of difference could it make in your life if you used EFT every day and tried it on everything...?
   
• Just Relax and Take a Deep Breath… Yeah, Right!
  Have you ever had someone tell you, "Hey, just relax!" As if it was that easy! When we're feeling stress and anxiety, we're operating from a part of our primitive programming that isn't INTERESTED in relaxing. It wants to fight, take flight, or freeze in place... quivering with fright.
   
• Anxiety Constricted Breathing
  Anxiety and stress affect both our body and our mind DEEPLY. Learning to self-manage your emotions and how they affect you physically is a core skill necessary for living a thriving life. If you would like to learn more, start your free 21-day membership in our group coaching program now.
   
• Emotional Postures
  "Worried" and "angry" are emotional postures. So are peevish, cynical, critical, lonely, unmotivated, ignored, friendless, untrusting, not-good-enough, unappreciated, and unloved. Let's also include overwhelmed, frustrated, impatient, and stressed. If a person demonstrates such a state of being on a consistent basis, it is an emotional posture. It has become how the person stands and relates to the world. EFT and our group coaching program can help you establish new, self-empowered emotional postures.

• Technology We Use
  As a technologist for the past 27 years, I typically review many different products before making a choice that is right for us to use here at Thriving Now. Here are some of the tools and services we recommend.
   
• Excitement! Peak Performance! or Simply Joy Full
  If you are needing peak experiences to feel good, YES, you have a problem. You can’t hold onto the feeling. The internal chemistry and focus needed just are not available for extended periods of time. Drive drive drive yourself to win at anything, and the ensuing refractory (rest) period that follows may be deeply unsettling to you. Depression is common. And when another win (bigger, of course) does not follow soon… despair and hopelessness can set in. And if not those, an underlying angst that life just isn’t feeling as exciting as you’d like it to be.
   
• All This Practice and Never Perfect
  Sometimes those who are still “wanting” and searching for emotional freedom can feel shocked and even lose hope if they perceive that their teachers are not perfect. Why should they ever feel impatient or ANY negative emotion if this stuff “really works?”
   
• Feel Good About What You Offer Using EFT
  It is critical to feel good about what you are offering, whether you are an EFT practitioner, a massage therapist, a janitor, a soccer coach, or a parent. Forget what you think “might sell” or what “they” want right now. If you do not feel and behave in an authentic way when you are “advertising” your product or service, advice or guidance, you will lose customers (meaning your audience) right and left…
   
• EFT to Stop Vibrational Decline
  EFT-Talk Podcast #2 -- How do you know what your vibration is? Emotional self-management is not just a key to a thriving life; it is the key to avoiding the pain of chronic health conditions as well. Almost all the mystery diseases begin with periods of intense, prolonged stress. Yes, we can clean up a lot of those energies long after the fact using EFT. But once they have manifested in your physiology… once these energies have produced painful conditions, habitual chemical reactions, and conditioned negative thoughts, it will take more time and persistence than most people expect to get on and stay on the road to optimal health.
   
• Intentionally Feel Good Using EFT and the Law of Attraction
  EFT-Talk Podcast #1 -- Why raise your vibration? What I teach as an emotional freedom coach is how to use EFT to clear the blocks to feeling good—physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially. Yet, the first step has to be a choice you make—a choice to intentionally enhance your life experience. It will require long term (lifetime) attention to vibration—your emotional state—along with the intentional use of tools like EFT in order to feel as good as you have the potential to feel.
