I remember that time early on in my hypnosis career. This was before I had discovered EFT. I worked next door to a very good Chinese doctor and excellent acupuncturist. I wanted to take in the more challenging stop-smoking cases and had heard that the combination of acupuncture and hypnotherapy were producing great results. So I spoke to my acupuncturist colleague and we agreed that I send him the more challenged clients for acupuncture in combination with my hypnotherapy. We had success after success. People I had previously not been able to help were succeeding with relative ease.

"Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. And suddenly a new door opens, a new perception is achieved." - Osho Yes, words of wisdom indeed.

We all want to start the new day refreshed and rested. However, if we cannot sleep, we can be tired upon awakening and tired throughout the day. We may find it hard to focus, making mistakes in our work. And of course, lack of sleep makes us irritable and feeling down. If you know someone with insomnia, you will be familiar with how debilitating it is. Insomnia can be defined as the inability to sleep through the night (for shift workers, this is the inability to sleep through your sleep time). This could manifest as difficulty going to sleep, difficulty staying asleep, or both.

The literature is full of the causes of lower back pain. Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons why employees take a day off sick. It also can be very debilitating. Anybody who has spent a sleepless night tossing and turning with this pain can sympathise. Of course, we have to make sure that the causes of the pain are addressed. And once that has happened, still you may well have lower back pain. It may be hard to bend over, sitting may be painful, driving may be a challenge, and a sudden turn may bring shooting pains through your body.

Before we define what an attunement is not, maybe it is easier to define what an attunement is. A Reiki attunement is a special form of initiation into Reiki at a certain level. During the attunement, the Reiki Master traps the energy into their body and pass it onto the student. This usually involves a form of ceremony or initiation, for example by leading into a meditation or having soft music. The attunement is said to tune the student into the Reiki channel, pretty much like we would tune a radio to a particular frequency.

There is a new 419-type activity coming from a far-Easte country. This is especially important to note if you are in an industry where confidentiality is needed. For example, if you are a therapist. Someone from a business online networking site I belong to has tried to do some very dodgy deal with me away from the site. He contacted me on Skype and asked that I keep his contact confidential. Naturally, as a healer, I thought he had a problem that he wanted to solve for which he wanted reassurance it will remain confidential. So I agreed.

I am currently promoting EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, as the number one method of stopping smoking. And you may well as - why is EFT the best way to stop smoking? EFT is in my opinion the best way to stop smoking because it can remove all the underlying reasons why a smoker smokes. When all the reasons for smoking no longer exist, there is simply no driver for smoking, no desire for it whatsoever, and smoking simply becomes a thing of the past. We are not talking about the most basic applications of EFT here.

We all berate ourselves from time to time. Some of us more than others. And constant negative self-talk cannot be helpful for our self-esteem and self-confidence. You can try noticing next time you hear a critical voice inside your head. Be aware of what it is saying to you, and let us diffuse it with EFT. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, has the power to release emotional blocks completely. It does this by a specific combination of stimulation of acupressure points along with releasing wording. So EFT is great at diffusing and dissolving negative self-talk!

EFT is an “Energy Psychology”, “Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT)” or “Tapping” method. It is used by many as a self-help method for any emotional or physical condition. EFT is also very popular with hypnotherapists and hypnotists, who are discovering just how easy this new method is to add to their repertoire. You may be new to EFT, or it may be a familiar friend already. Either way, you can learn EFT very easily. EFT works on the principle that what causes undesirable feelings and behavior is a disruption in the body's energy system.

As you may or may not know already, EFT is a way to break through any blocks in your path to health success and happiness. These blocks are made of energy, or better understood as imprints in your mind-body. You may have tried affirmations, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, anti-depressants, Mindfulness, or just plain will-power, and still find yourself nervous in some situations. You may well wonder why. Let me explain.

EFT is a very powerful technique. It takes people from a place of Small or Medium self-love to a Large self-love, or as it is usually measured, from a 2-6 on a scale of 0-10 to a 9 or a 10. So it often seems such a shame when I meet someone new to tapping that only loves themselves maybe a 1 or 2 out of ten. Sometimes, this is someone quite experienced in tapping, although it is rare.

Do you find yourself tapping on these things, but still want to (and often do) eat them anyway? Should you initially at least, force yourself not to eat those lovely treats and goodies? In my experience, I would say never force yourself. Try tapping on all the points, in preparation for the next module, one sentence a point, no numbers (SUDS), no Setup or Reminder:r

We are our own worst enemies sometimes. We can be so cruel to ourselves.

A common question from EFT newcomers is about reactions to EFT like yawning, sighing, giggles, tears, burps, and laughter. Yawning can be a particularly confusing reaction, as we connect it to tiredness, boredom, and exhaustion. For some tapping newbies, it may be alarming to yawn, especially if the person has a tiring physical or emotional condition. It may feel like a warning sign that they are about to get worse rather than better. Fortunately, nothing can be further than the truth.

Have you started on your EFT weight-loss journey and find the weight not shifting like it would if you were dieting or doing boot-camps? Well, to lose weight, you need to eat less harmful foods, a moderate amount of healthful foods, and exercise more. When you first start your EFT journey of releasing old and unhelpful attachments, you are being prepared for that. You see, when people simply change their food habits without enjoying doing so, they end up feeling deprived, and more often than not, eventually put the weight back on.

EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a powerful combination of acupressure and releasing wording, designed to give you fast results with any goal that you want to achieve. Probably the biggest question people ask with EFT is what to say when they tap. No matter what kind of EFT you have learned, this still is the heavy EFT challenge for many. And it is the same when it comes to weight. Weight loss has an extra complication. You see, we need to eat at least about three times a day. And every day can present new challenges.

How do you improve your self-confidence? In NLP, there us a very simple answer. NLP is short for Neuro Linguistic Programming. It works by seeing what it is that successful people do and say, and then mimicking that. In other words, if you say what a successfully confident person says, others will see you as confident. And when others see you as confident, people will treat you with respect as that confident person. And that will give you more self-confidence.

EFT is great for improving self-confidence. You really want a mind that is controlled by you, not those negative and self-critical thoughts that creep in. Well, in EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, those negative thoughts are said to be kept active by energy. This is like a way-too-bright light that keeps you awake all night, being kept on by an electric current. Of course, we can turn off that harsh or too bright a light and get some nice sleep, right? All we have to do is turn off the switch. Failing that, we can take out the plug at the mains.

Many of us are taught that self-praise is selfish and immodest. Some have even been taught that it was wrong. Or perhaps it was indirectly inferred that it was wrong. For example, we may as children have heard our mother, father or teacher say "look at her, she's so full of herself" or look at him, he is always bragging about his latest car". Some of us are even taught that we must be "humble", be ashamed of ourselves, or not blow our own trumpet.

And I know you are reading this because you probably have some good achievement that you wish to aim for, so here are a few tips from my personal and client experience to help you in achieving your goals.

In classical EFT, originally founded by Gary Craig and now championed by many famous EFT practitioners such as Nick Ortner and his great team, we tap on a problem until it gets to zero. The zero point is a neutral state of feeling or emotion, whether that emotion is a physical pain, a craving, or an emotional pain. This is measured on a scale of 10 - 0, where 10 is the worst we can feel and zero is neutral.

Most of us know someone who accuses us of wrong-doing whenever we ask that they do what they should have done. For example, you may have a colleague who should have finished some work by a certain deadline, and your part of the work depends on their finished work. And when you ask for their work, they accuse you of being domineering, complain about you to HR, or just say that you are not their boss, or something like that.

Most of us could do with a little more self-love. After all, if we love ourselves more, we can allow ourselves to achieve more, we have more self-esteem, we can attract people to us that are attracted to the energy of love, and we can feel love. And love is a great feeling.

One of the most frequently asked questions in EFT is how to do surrogate EFT. Surrogate EFT is also called proxy EFT, proxy tapping, distant EFT or distant healing by EFT or Tapping. It all means the same thing. The person or animal you are tapping for can be with you or far away. It does not matter. You can tap for them using your own body. So you use your body as a surrogate for their body.

EFT is short for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It involves a mixture of stimulation of certain acupressure points whilst saying releasing wording. I am happy with the "Emotional" in the name if we define an emotion as any mental or physical manifestation caused by an energy disruption which, in turn, was initially caused by a psychological or physical trauma of any kind.

It was his turn to look after his toddler son. And it was morning, time to soak his skin thoroughly in hot water in the shower, so he would be very smooth-shaven when he shaves. His son was crying. He could hear it but was not listening. The voice of self-criticism was louder. It said to make sure there was not a hair out of place, not a bump of skin. He was frantic, a morning ritual normal for him.

As someone who has sat on the then Reiki Regulatory Working Group in the UK, now known as the Reiki Council, I am delighted to see how seriously Reiki is being taken in the UK now. Of course, there are many that do not realise the benefits. However, at the end of the day, it is about choice. A Reiki Healer can choose to be officially recognised or choose not to. It is always good to have choices.

Sometimes Reiki Healers go to a healing share group and find there are silly rules to stick to. In the bad old days in the UK, there used to be a rule at many a Reiki share that only healers from a specific variation of Reiki were allowed to join. I ear that in Cape Town, some Masters giving share groups are even more exclusive. For example, anything to do with aura reading is forbidden, because that is supposed to be part of a kind of Reiki that has a non-disclosure agreement.

Someone with low self-esteem can be limited by beliefs that they do not even know are in their way. These beliefs may have been your "normal" for so many years, that they seem to be the absolute truth. However, there is no absolute truth. There is your truth, my truth, his truth, her truth; everybody's truth is different.

You may have suffered some low moments, maybe friends tell you you should love yourself more, or perhaps a therapist has suggested it. You may have read various self-help books about how to find this elusive self-love, all in vain. Whenever you look to improve your self-confidence, up pops self-love in yet another book, manual, therapy session, or workshop. "Enough already", you may think, "I have tried this self-love thing, and it's not working. Why can't I just be calm or happy without this loving myself stuff?"... And that is a really good point.

Reiki healing can go very smoothly for the new practitioner. That is, until a strange or scary experience happens, such as feeling a sharp or sudden pain as a consequence of channeling the Reiki energy for the client. This is especially since the energy not only goes into the client but out of the client as well.

Weight-loss, in my experience, is best done by losing the reasons why we overeat, under-exercise, sleep very little, or are mega-stressed. All of these reasons have been proven to contribute to weight loss. Emotional Freedom Techniques, in most of its forms, involves saying what we desire that does not serve us, whilst stimulating special acupressure points to release these feelings at their energy source. Without the energy fuelling the feeling, the vast majority of tappers release the negative feelings leading to their reasons why they got overweight.

Time and time again, when helping people with weight loss emotional blocks, this one comes up. As a matter of fact, it is a big block in the way of releasing any habit that does not serve us. And eating more than we should for our optimal health and happiness is the main habit involved in gaining or keeping unwanted weight. And this big block is the emotion of deprivation. Deprivation is a big one. Most people do not realize this until they tap for it, and suddenly, many deprivation issues come to the fore for healing.

What is especially challenging being an EFT Practitioner is that EFT is not mainstream, and therefore not widely known or searched as yet.

Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMP) are now encouraging people to eat less animal flesh for many different and equally valid reasons. Most of the reasons relate to the fat content or the method of cooking. I have yet to hear TMP’s discuss the reasons I do not eat animal flesh especially beef. My first reason is probably the most emotional reason which is they are adorable; there I’ve said what most of you are probably thinking. Aside from their big brown eyes and wet nose, there are other reasons I choose not to eat them.

My relationship with Reiki started long before I even knew the word "Reiki". My first "teacher" was my beloved cocker spaniel named Prince. I was convinced he could read my mind which I later learned he was actually reading my energy. Prince was my constant companion, my playmate, my friend, as well as my teacher. He had a way of making me smile even in my darkest moments...you see I had what most would call a nightmare for a childhood. When I was down, he would nudge me with his muzzle in an attempt to get me to pet him.

Also, high frequency cosmic energy would appear at these spots too. It appeared to me as a beam of white light. I knew the light beam was coming from outside the earth plane. The energy was amazing.

Does Reiki really work? Usually you just have to ask the person that has received a Reiki treatment if it works or not. Of course, "works" is a subjective term in some cases. If someone receiving a treatment has nothing wrong with them, they still will receive benefit from the treatment. Reiki helps the person get to a deeply relaxed state in a short period of time. In fact, a 15 minute treatment is equal to an hour's nap. A typical response from one at the end of Reiki treatment is "That was amazing!" The recipient usually feels very refreshed and revitalized, just after a short session.

They can be gods or goddesses, ancestors, angels, fairies, totem animals or birds, friends or relatives who we knew in this lifetime and have already crossed over. Some people have saints that they relate to, and that is the same thing by ...

During the course of our life, there have been individuals who have been mentors to us. Since they can include relatives, friends, employers, teachers, clergy, and others, sometimes we may not think of them in those terms. There are places in life where we have mentors assigned, but this is not ...

One of the enduring mysteries of life is death. Why is it that we care about what happens after we die? Is it that the thought of just a short span on Earth is not enough for us? That we hunger for life so much that we want it to continue even if we have to imagine some other form for it to ...

We are not taught to listen to our Soul, in fact, we are often taught to ignore it, to build our lives around an agenda that society, our parents, our peers —someone else— has told us matters. And we do live that way, starving our Soul, until it begins to make itself noticed, calling patiently to us again and again. We may decide not to make room for it in our life, to bury its message, until its call turns urgent and we become depressed, or we get sick or some terrible event shakes us out of our blindness.

Parenting is the most beautiful, awe-inspiring, heart-opening, frustrating, difficult, infuriating endeavor I have ever faced. When Sebastian, my eldest son, was still a tiny infant who had been fussing, crying, and generally expressing dissatisfaction with everything around him for what felt ...

Everything is energy, be it a particle or a wave. That is what Quantum Physics has recently discovered. It is also the premise that Oriental medicine and indigenous world-views have been operating on for centuries. Since everything is energy, so is the human being, so are you. Your body, your emotions, your thoughts… it’s all energy. When your vibrations are low, you feel heavy and slow, emotionally, you are unhappy or depressed, and spiritually, you are cut off from your knowledge of your Source.

Many people find the concept of spiritual guides, angels, Reiki guides, and enlightened beings to be beyond belief. This is often simply because they may not yet understand how to work with these beings of Divine love. Over my years of working with Reiki and following my soul’s longing to learn about the angelic realms and inner planes, I have developed a deep inner knowing that we have spiritual helpers, guides and assistance all around us, and within us. One of the first things that I learned is that we cannot receive non-emergency, angelic, or spiritual assistance unless we ask.

Karuna Reiki can bring soul recognition that complete peace is already within us all. The air was crisp and clear and the sounds of a nearby mountain stream were soothing my spirit. I had slipped away for a few moments of quiet introspection at the Karuna Reiki Retreat I was co-facilitating in Colorado this summer.

FIRST of all, let's acknowledge that much of what is passed off as Reality nowadays is just the opposite. For example, any kind of medicine except pharmaceutical drugs, nuclear radiation, and surgery, is commonly called Alte ative Medicine. The implication is that drugs, radiation, and surgery are Real Medicine, and any other kind of medicine is Fake Medicine. People easily accept this notion, especially because most of us have such a profound ignorance of history.

Copyright © 2009 Don Beckett As I write this (August 2009), here in the good-old U S of A, there's a raging debate over what to do about "Health Care." Western Medicine, of course, is the king on the throne of Health Care. And "Health Care" is post-Orwellian code for the manipulation of the symptoms of disease. The turmoil over Health Care is about who will pay for the Pills, Procedures, and High-Tech Machinery involved in that. Diagnosing the "Health Care" catastrophe

copyright © 2011 Don Beckett A LOT of people have been asking this question privately for at least a few years. The answer is not one that most of us are eager to acknowledge. We tend to brush it aside and go on with our own work. But suddenly I feel we need to acknowledge it, for the sake of people who are just beginning to learn about Reiki. We need to let them know what Reiki is and what it isn't — because many of them are being fooled, and led in harmful directions.
