Team Calls on Special Topics (17)

The Thriving Now Team is a group coaching program with teleclasses every month where we use EFT to clear blocks to a living a thriving life. We cover a broad range of issues. New team members have immediate access to the full library of recorded calls (over 250 hours) the team forum and the call schedule. We’d love to have you join us!

Team members can access the downloadable MP3 of these special topics recordings by clicking the highlighted links.

Anxiety
Feelings of anxiety can come from our most primitive instincts. And it they can come from perceptions and beliefs of our thinking brain. In this extended team call we cover anxiety from several different angles as it relates to past experiences of “losing it all” to career fears and feeling like there is too big a gap between what we have and what we want and anxiety that comes from PUSHING a project rather than relaxing and allowing. (This call also inspired an article Anxiety as Guidance.)

Overwhelm
Feelings of overwhelm are guaranteed when we focus on what we should or “have to” do. We are freedom-seeking beings, and as soon as we perceive a situation or set of tasks as enslaving us, our emotional guidance system REBELS. There are ways to re-perceive a to-do list which can make it empowered by personal choice and spiritual guidance.

Money Issues (#1)
Can the same person feel like they have too much money and not enough money… in the same hour? Yes. And as we explore here some issues around money, we also coach around how to feel calm and confident in sales situations with CEOs and other powerful people, how to release old energies of guilt and shame, and start rewriting our energy around money.

Money Issues (#2)
As you listen, you will hear different perspectives on money and abundance as perceived from certain points in the emotional journey towards a financially thriving life. Particularly interesting is the issue of “deserving” and having a vision for how money plays a role in your inspired vision of yourself and your life (and encouragement to develop such a vision if it is currently lacking or vague).

Betrayal
If we CALL it betrayal because it HURTS like betrayal, that is what matters. In this session I explore with several team members how betrayal feels in the body, and offer some options for “redefining” trust so that the feeling of betrayal is far less likely to ever be experienced.

Relationships
In this team call we cover a daughter coming to visit with her husband, the evolution of the relationship, and how we might break down the boxes that tie us to certain stressful beliefs about “how it must be.”

Criticism
It can come from others, or we can hear it inside our own heads (often in a way that REMINDS us of how others used to talk to us). In this session, I cover the benefits of using EFT to remove the weapons of emotional destruction from the hands of those around us. When we become calm and confident in the face of criticism, what the criticism can FEEL like is closer to an absurdity ("You’re a purple people eater") than something that makes us want to curl up into a ball.

Prosperity
Mary was trained not to be prosperity, that prosperity is ostentatious. So it FEELS frightening to succeed. When we grow up in an environment that is financially chaotic, it creates worry in the children and their energy system starts building an “unhealthy” relationship to money, sales, and the normal flow in and out of resources. When we say “I am ready for prosperity” and it only feels 60% true, our actions, our dreams, and our creativity are all diminished. Here we work on both the sense of being “ready” as well as the feelings of already feeling prosperous right where we are.

Trust
In this far ranging discussion with Mima, we explore the definition of trust and the expectations we can place on others (and on our own inner guidance) that cause us to withdraw or feel hurt.

Selling
Teri has this image of sales/marketing of the plaid coated used car salesman--the WORST kind of visualization when you yourself want to be out there promoting. There is an underlying fear of getting in trouble, of doing something wrong, and experiencing rejection, abandonment, and criticism. Usually, these emotions have broader relationship implications, as we see here.

Anger
The emotional journey from disempowerment to joy… usually goes right through anger. And anger feels SO much better than despair, grief, and hopelessness. Good! Take time with yourself, be angry, use EFT, and keep moving up the vibrational scale. These audio sessions give you examples on how to do just that.

Physical Pain
Pain in the body can be emotional in nature, related to a physical trauma, or a combination. In this session we explore aspects of physical pain and how we can use EFT to soothe the pain from unbearable to “I can live with that.”

Jealousy and Envy
When we feel jealousy (fearful or wary of being supplanted, or of losing affection or position) or envy (a feeling of discontentment and resentment aroused by desire for the possessions or qualities of another), we can use EFT on the body sensations and use re-perceiving to empower ourselves.

In this team call, I work with Kendal on the envy of other people driving cars that she wants, and we move into the feelings in the heart around how her husband perceives this desire of hers to experience new/different vehicles each year. Our tapping goes through a number of different aspects including how we feel when someone we love doesn’t respect what we enjoy and seek to fulfill our needs. We also touch on guilt and shame--emotions almost ALWAYS at the core of persistent negative disruptions. Is it okay for someone with so much abundance to want more?

With Ben it is a situation at work, where a co-worker is able to use his speech to communicate clearly, and Ben’s stuttering (which is not made better by the pressure of being envious of another person’s clarity) leaves him with increased tension in the throat. I always look for the gold amidst the garbage, and here we explore how Ben’s stuttering has made him far more patient with other people… something every business needs.

Picking Our Battles
A battle, by definition, involves opposing forces. We engage in battle, and by making that choice, by the Law of Attraction we assure ourselves of one thing: what we oppose, even from a righteous heart, will become bigger, and bigger, and bigger in our reality.

Is there an alternative? Do we battle to the death (and battle death itself)? How does that make us feel? Where does battling leave us in our relationships and more specifically… in our hearts?

Control!
We all want to feel control because feeling in control feels GOOD! There is a sense of certainty when we feel like Master of our own Universe. And that feeling typically lasts until something outside ourselves intrudes… and convinces us that we are, alas, NOT in control.

Yet, we ARE. We are in control of the one part of our lives that determines our Life Experience… we are in control of our focus. Sure, most people do not set their intention to focus; they focus on external situations, people, and beliefs. It is like modeling your life on what you read in People magazine, the Star, and the National Enquirer and expecting to feel good.

In this dialogue between myself and Deb and Josh, we explore control and focusing our thoughts and visualizations in ways that help us feel progressively more and more relief, and eventually on better and better feelings. There is a habit, especially amongst bright, creative people to both reach TOO far energetically and fall off the mountain, or to have found a better feeling thought… like agitation and just KNOW that agitation isn’t good enough. Yet, agitation is a FAR cry from depression. When a client is agitated, we are not a far distance from pessimistic optimism, or even a bit of believing… and from a bit of believing, there can be enough evolving experiences observed that you get to a place of KNOWING. From that place of KNOWING, we have control.

I also work with Deb on quantifying the healing journey. This is cutting edge work, looking at predicting and measuring the healing journey by what vibration one is habitually emitting over the weeks and months prior. It has been my observation that people must vibrate well-being before it arrives physically. It’s egg (vibration/feeling) before chicken (manifestation in the body). I’ve not yet seen evidence to the contrary.

Guilt and Shame
Once we get down to the hurt, the guilt and shame, significant progress can be made. Those feelings that we shouldn’t exist, that we’re not good enough, that we ARE wrong (shame) or that we’ve done wrong (guilt)… these get so strongly engrained on an energetic level that affects the whole organism.

As we work with serious diseases, we are finding these two energies--guilt and shame--at the core. And thus, working and soothing these energies using EFT can bring deep, long lasting relief. Yet, it is seldom a one-minute wonder.

(13:00) Shame Around Others
When we feel “less than” another when we “should” be just as powerful and articulate, intense shame can be present. Here we work on some of those energies together.

(29:00) WRONG!!  (A specific event of sexual abuse)
Deb bravely works through most of the specific event of sexual abuse that occurred when she was 16 and thin and dancing and healthy. We use EFT on the physical sensations and the very specific aspects of the event. And she reaches a point where her perception starts to shift to the truth of her innocence.

I strongly encourage you, if you are going to listen, to TAP ALONG for your benefit and to keep yourself balanced.

Grief
Grief is intertwined with our spiritual beliefs and knowings. So, no discussion of grief can take place without that context being present. As you listen to this team call on grief and loss, it is my hope that the message of the eternalness of Who We Really Are comes through in a way that feels good to you, that provides some measure of relief during times of grief.

Grief can be about the loss of a beloved aunt, a second mother. And it can be around the loss of a dog, the first living example in someone’s life of unconditional love and acceptance. We cover both in this call.

Often there is also a sense of guilt present, as well. Even when the person or animal would not--we KNOW--want us to feel guilty! EFT can be used effectively with these energies to soothe them, and if you choose, to quiet the noise sufficiently that we can connect to the essence of our loved ones that IS eternal and have continued access to their wise counsel and especially ALL the Love.
