Does life come at you with an endless stream of stuff you MUST do…maybe even hate to do?

We do most of it anyway, don’t we?  And then our personal peace is compromised…or worse!

But, invariably, there comes a time when we must do something and just can’t seem to do it.  So, we put it off day after day after day.

So, when you are stuck, what do you do…what could you do?

There are many ways to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to help you to breakthrough barriers, but I’m not going to tell you what to do or give you instructions or anything like that.

Ah, but, I will go one step further and let you listen in to a short interview with someone that claims to have gone from being paralyzed in taking action on something that was very important, to being able to take that action “with Divine Guidance“…all in about 10 minutes.

Find out how Beth used EFT to create a unique experience, what her thoughts were throughout the process, what she tapped on and ultimately what the “Divine Guidance” felt like when she allowed it.

The audio is only about 10 minutes:

Have you ever met someone and just did not connect?

Or, perhaps you were quickly dismissed or ignored?

Perhaps the Acceptance Prophecy is in action…are you familiar with the Acceptance Prophecy?

Basically it says, ‘When we think other people are going to like us, we behave more warmly towards them and consequently they like us more. When we think other people aren’t going to like us, we behave more coldly and they don’t like us as much.’

So, is this true?

There has been some behavioral research along these lines to prove or disprove the Acceptance Prophecy.  Here is a summary of the research as reported by Psyblog: Click here for the Psyblog article on the Acceptance Prophesy

To summarize the article: “What the results showed was that when the risk of rejection was lower, men acted more warmly towards the woman to whom they were talking. This extra warmth also lead to a panel of observers liking them more in comparison with those who were more fearful of risk and therefore inter-personally colder.”

Did you pick up on one of those points?  “…in comparison with those who were more fearful of risk and therefore inter-personally colder.”

Just a subtle fear, most times, but fear nonetheless, can make or break the first 30 seconds of that meeting and send it down a path of vibration that is lacking in love and acceptance.

What happens most times when we start down the slippery slope of fear?

That’s right, it usually gets worse!

Now, here’s the most enlightening aspect of this article…

There was an exception according to the article, “There was an exception, though, to the results of this study. One sub-group were not affected by the experimental manipulation to increase how much they expected to be accepted. That’s because they already expected to be accepted. These are the social optimists (or at least people who think rather a lot of themselves!). Social optimists, of course, are in the happy position of expecting to be accepted and finding that, generally speaking, they are.”

The speed in which you manifest something in this world depends in large part upon the certainty or knowing that you have of its imminent happening.  You must be certain without any “yeah-buts”…without any tail enders.

**IMPORTANT POINT**
The more tail enders and yeah-buts that you have running through your mind, the less likely the initial thought, desire or even inspiration will materialize!  That’s right, even if you have an inspiration, you can and will sabotage it!

You must clear the barriers to allow life to flow through you.

Alright, good stuff; but you are asking, ‘How can it help me’, right?

Here are some suggestions that you can add to Your Personal Peace list and then clear those issues using your EFT and tapping:

1. Look for specific events where you did not make a great impression with a person or group of people.
2. Do you remember events where someone rejected you outright?
3. How about a time where you just could not connect with someone?
4. What about an instance in your past where someone just would not listen to you?
5. Discover memories of times when you were rejected, not accepted or your suggestions and proposals were rejected.

Special Notes:

• Be sure to connect and feel the emotions you are feeling TODAY when you recall those events and follow your EFT protocol to clear the emotional connection to those events one by one.
• Do not discount any memory, vision, event or thought as inconsequential…they all have an effect!  Remember, even the subtle fears and concerns can alter the course of your behavior and actions.

If you need help with EFT and tapping, a step-by-step and affordable place to start is with Your Personal Peace.

Do not allow your memories and the unpleasant emotions of the subconscious to rob you of wonderful meetings, acquaintances, friendships and even intimate relationships.

Remove your barriers and watch not only your relationships become golden, but your other experiences as well.

Keep tappin’…aloha!

We have heard about several people who passed away recently and we hear about them because they are celebrities: Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, David Carradine and, oh, Karl Malden as well.

Ok, so the passing of Bob the Barber is not considered newsworthy, but, then again, I will let you judge that for yourself.

Bob the Barber passed away a few weeks ago…insignificant to the world?  Well, actually, there are several things that he talked about in his last days that are very important.  Not just to some, but to everyone!

The details are in this video…about ten minutes.

I appreciate you stopping by and watching…if you wish to leave some comments, feel free to do that below the video.

You’ve heard the challenge, “Do NOT think about a pink elephant.”

What’s the problem with that statement?

Right!  You can’t stop thinking of the pink elephant!  It’s maddening!

But, there is good reason for this reaction and I will share some research with you in a minute that will help to explain the Pink Elephant Syndrome (aka: the Rebound Effect).

First, let me point out what so many people ask when using EFT, ‘Why do we tap and verbalize the negative?  Shouldn’t we be thinking and focusing on the positive?’

Well, I expanded on that point in a previous post to the EFT YPP FAQ site and you can click on this link to read the article called If I keep tapping on the negative, am I reinforcing the negative…shouldn’t I be thinking positive?

You know what?  When you use EFT, you are flying in the face of what positive thinkers and self help people have been saying for decades.

The common advice is just to think positively…stay focused on your positive choice or intention…but, is that enough, or is it onlyl a distraction?

Let’s look at the research.

Psychblog summarized the research on this curious subject with one of their latest articles…click here to read Psychblog’s article: Why Thought Suppression is Counter Productive.”

To summarize the article, let me quote the conclusion:

The trouble comes when I consciously stop trying to distract myself and the unconscious process carries on looking out for the thing I was trying to suppress. Anything it sees that looks vaguely like the target triggers the thought again and round I go in another loop of thinking the same thought I was desperately trying to forget about.

The irony of thought suppression, then, is that actively trying to manage our own minds can sometimes do more harm than good. Although it makes perfect intuitive sense to try and suppress unwanted thoughts, unfortunately the very process we use to do this contains the seeds of its own destruction. The more we try and push intrusive thoughts down, the more they pop back up, stronger than ever.

Let me help you banish those pink elephants once and for all…an excellent place to begin is with Your Personal Peace.  Click here to find out how Your Personal Peace can help you live more peacefully and with less and less pink elephants in your life…

…because trying to ignore those pink elephants only feeds their energy and makes them grow larger and larger in our lives.

Take care…hugs and aloha!

Here’s the Real Super Bowl!

Another year gone by…another Super Bowl is done.  What an extravaganza that has become and it gets bigger and bigger every year…constantly expanding!

Some say is was the most watched Super Bowl in history…plus, they did not have problems selling their ad space with those crazy commercials (or, should I say, creative productions, because even if one remembers the concept of the commercial, most forget what product was being promoted…interesting people we are).

Ok, but I am here today to talk about another bowl…the bowl of light…and I put together a quick video to explain what I mean.

The bowl of light is similar to the the Super Bowl because it has the capacity to expand and you can allow your bowl of light expand, not just every year, but each and every moment as you begin to master EFT!

How do you get your light to shine through? Well, you just huli the pohaku from your bowl and EFT is a tool that can help you to huli your bowl!

Check out the video…take care…keep tappin’…hugs and aloha!

EFT and Hawaiian Petroglyphs

What do carvings in stone on the Big Island of Hawaii have to do with EFT?

Well, it’s all about the “writings on our walls” or the models that we run in our mind that make us take actions that are not always pleasant or do not lead to our true and passionate desires.

So, your Personal Peace?  Well, the writings get in the way of you ever feeling your own Personal Peace.

So, those writings, quite often, seem like they are etched in stone…aren’t they?  The key word is “seem.”

We can use EFT to erase or lessen the intensity of those writings so that we can go about installing new writings, new habits, new thoughts and those will produce new actions in our lives.

Think about that…if you changed your actions and enjoyed them; what do you think would happen in your life? What could you create?  What could you enjoy?

We must either remove and at least lessen the impact of the old writings so that we can put into play some writings of our own design!

Watch this video and then find out more about using EFT to design your life instead of allowing other people to control your life.

Discover your own Personal Peace!

Take care and keep tappin’!

Aloha!

A Wedding, Many Emotions and a Celebration of Love – Part 2

Love is in the air!

The newlyweds returned from Hawaii, opened their wedding gifts (they will need a bigger place) and are settled into their new home.

They loved Hawaii…stayed over in Honolulu at Waikiki Beach and toured quite a bit of the island of Oahu.

You know, Hawaii is considered paradise for so many reasons…it’s a wonderful place…there’s a beautiful energy about it…some say, it can transform you, but that can either be enlightening or frightening.

In the spirit of celebrating the return of the newlyweds…here are two things I want to share with you:

First of all…some questions for you to ponder and discover about yourself:

What is paradise to you?

What do the writings on your walls tell you that is necessary so that you feel you are in paradise?

Is it paradise where you are or do you need to leave and find it somewhere else?

Secondly, I want to share a little poem I put together for the newlyweds…enjoy it!

Take care and keep tappin’!

Welcome Back to Paradise

Welcome back from paradise,
From the land of aloha;
So difficult to leave, I’m sure,
Back to the wikiwiki life north of Baja.

Thoughts of regret and resignation,
Haole are well known for this;
Because we forget mahalo,
For all in life we receive, all the gifts.

You two have a special makana,
A humble love for one another;
Express and feel that every moment,
If done with grace it will not smother.

Stay close with your ohana,
They will offer unconditional love;
Wisdom, kokua and kindness,
Endless gifts from above.

Strong winds blow the palm trees,
They sway, bend, but do not break;
If we live our lives in pono,
Paradise is what we will create.

As you think of Hawaii,
Recall the ha’awina, carry that symbol;
Create paradise in every moment,
The only thought that is truly rational.

Returning from paradise can be sad,
Unless you bring it with you;
So, hold it in your pu’uwai,
Create a paradise in everything you do.

Clint and Kathy, my son and daughter,
Don’t think too much or even twice;
Allow your mana to grow as a team,
Welcome back to paradise.

Aloha nui loa
Dad

aloha (ah-LOW-ha) Hello, good-by, or an expression of affection and love

A Wedding, Many Emotions and a Celebration of Love – Part 1

Hello Friends!

Remember a few weeks ago I mentioned my son’s wedding?

Well, I finally put together some pictures, video and nice background music in the video clip below.

Weddings are nice, aren’t they?

So many emotions flowing!

Although I always say that ALL emotions are good emotions because of the message they carry for us, well, that day it was definitely all good emotions!

I appreciate you coming by to celebrate with me for a few minutes.

Take care and keep tappin’!

I’m Dying and I’m Having Fun…

…no, I’m not dying, but someone else passed away…Randy Pausch died a couple days ago.

That was one of Randy’s quotes, “I’m dying and I’m having fun.” (He should know)

A couple other quotes of his are: “Are you a Tigger or an Eyore?”…and…“Brick walls are there to see how bad you want it…not to stop you.”

I know, I know…you’re asking, ‘Who is Randy Pausch?’

I sent some of you a message back in April regarding Randy, so here’s an update.

Randy Pausch is the best selling author of “The Last Lecture” and there are a couple videos on the web giving you a view of The Last Lecture.

When the subject of death comes up, most often it’s associated with words and phrases like: spirituality, dying with dignity, sadness or regrets.

These videos are not about any of those aspects…these videos are about childhood dreams…your purpose.

As you master EFT as a tool to change your “writings on the wall”, you just might discover what an incredible…no, that’s not the right word…you might discover what a limitless amount of resources you hold within you…and then what?

Mastery of EFT may just help you discover your dreams and desires along with the strength…the power…to manifest all that is important to you!

If you get one “aha” from this video (watch the longer video for more “aha’s”), then you know it was worth it.

Take care and keep tappin’!

Here is the short version of the video about his message…but, I put (my recommendation) the full version down below:

EFT, Weeds and Overwhelm!

Hello Friends!

Hey, let’s dig right in with a few questions:

1. Have you ever pulled weeds in the yard?

2. Have you ever pulled weeds in a yard and the weeds seemed never ending?

3. Have you ever tapped on some issues using EFT and felt the same way that you did when pulling those never ending weeds from the yard?

4. Does the word OVERWHELM (very appropriately, all caps) fit in with this subject somewhere?

Watch this short video regarding EFT, Weeds and OVERWHELM (once again, very appropriately, all caps).

What’s the solution to OVERWHELM?
