• 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.

• 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 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.
   
• 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.
   
• EFT For a Healthier Sex Drive
  My husband is an incredible man, and I have always found him attractive, but since having children, getting “in the mood” has been really hard to do. After tending the kids from dawn to after dark—all day and then sometimes at night too—I found myself often “too tired”. I have always felt bad about this because I wished that I did have desire for sex more often, but no matter how hard I tried my sex drive was elusive much of the time.
   
• What Is EFT Talk?
  EFT Talk is a new audio program (podcast) with myself and Carol Look. Both Carol and I believe that the best way to raise your vibration is to use EFT regularly on many different aspects of your life. This raises your vibration, and from a higher vibration you start experiencing through the Law of Attraction situations and opportunities more “in tune” with your higher vibration.

• Oh NO! No Excuses Anymore!
  Can an illness make us feel safe? Growing up, when I wasn’t prepared for a test at school, I would get a stomach ache. It would buy me some time. It would give me another day home. It was an “excused absence.” No one questioned. No one poked or prodded. No thermometer had to read high. “My stomach hurts too much to go to school.” And I stayed home. Have you ever done something like that?
   
• Healing the Wounded Inner Child with EFT
  After tapping on the feelings of the Inner Child and working with any real memories that came up, I ask how the little one is feeling now. More often than not, the whole inner scenery has changed. The adult person is hugging and comforting the child, and they start talking or taking action to change the situation.
