So, you have anxiety. You use EFT on the anxiety over and over again, and it keeps returning. Is EFT not working, or is there something else going on? Consider this: would it make sense for your inner guidance to leave you feeling relaxed if you were headed the wrong way, away from where you really intend to go? If your answer is, “I’d prefer to know I was headed in the wrong direction,” let’s look at how you might discern between body sensations that are guiding you and emotions that are disruptions in your energy system that you can soothe with EFT.

Hi There!
(June 7, 2026) Coming up on Sun Jun 28: The Shorter List - Simplicity as Discernment. Maybe I am the only one, but it really helps me if I do not overload myself with "too many things to do." Takes skill, and one it's essential I practice daily. Or hourly. Or... NOW!
Settling and Strengthening is a skill with immense benefits - watch the replay. I also strongly recommend tuning into The Wanted & The Unwanted - Together Forever — an exploration of finding emotional focus and nourishing balance even when life includes blessings and contrasts.
Recently recorded are Receiving What’s Good - Even When Life Is Complicated and Redefining Your Identity in the Age of AI (super useful if AI is now a part of your world and you also know The World is changing because of it - like it did with Internet adoption altho much more rapidly.

Prosperity – Mary was trained not to be prosperity, that prosperity is ostentatious. So it FEELS frightening to succeed. Trust – 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.
...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.
...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.
...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 ingrained on an energetic level that affects the whole organism.
...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…
