					<description><![CDATA[If there is no safe place to express and release our financial stress and worries, they can "show up" in our bodies.  It is critical that in turbulent times such as the ones we are living through that we have a way, a place and a method to express our fears, worries, and helplessness.  Otherwise, the emotional stress and conflict gets "downloaded" into and absorbed by our bodies.  EFT is of course one of the most efficient and satisfying ways to deal with these worries and pains.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We enjoy life and function better when we feel safer.  No matter what you are doing... from enjoying a BBQ with friends, weeding the flowerbeds, taking a walk, or doing spring cleaning... you will feel more present and focused if you feel safe. When we feel even "a bit" threatened or nervous, there is a constant underlying tension and worry. Part of our attention is always focused on the threat. Yet for many of us, we don&#8217;t even know what the danger is! We just feel unsafe.]]></description>
