by Leave a Comment

There’s life beneath your stuck and frozen places.  Here are some ideas to help you re-emerge into the flow of your life.

1.  Increase Your Circulation  

Cinnamon, ginger, garlic, and turmeric all stimulate circulation. Use plenty. Increased circulation will help ensure healthy nutrient flow, making it easier to move forward.  And, of course, physical exercise will boost your circulation as well.

2.  Eat Probiotics  

Probiotic foods such as miso, kefir, yogurt, kombucha, and probiotic supplements, will help nourish beneficial microflora in your gut.  A healthy gut is crucial for synthesizing the neurotransmitters that keep you feeling happy, focused and motivated.

3.  Do Something Different

Activate your brain cells. New experiences will help stimulate the creation of new neural pathways. New neural pathways will help you emerge from stuck places.

4.  Plan something exciting

Awaken your sense of adventure. Begin the process of planning a future, exciting, event or trip.  Allow the process to inspire you.

5.  Reorganize Your Space

Reorganize your work or creative space. Shifting and sorting your space will help spark new ideas.

6.  Show Up For Yourself 

Decide upon a small project or activity to complete. Next, allow 15 minutes to 1 hour to spend on your project. When your time is up, stop. Don’t worry if it’s not finished, not perfect, or if you barely got anything done. Just keep showing up until you accomplish your project. The act of showing up will activate your creativity.

7.  Try EFT Tapping

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) helps to clear the old neural pathways that keep us stuck in limiting beliefs and patterns.  Once old patterns are cleared, EFT Tapping can help you create new, healthier habits and beliefs.  Contact me to learn more. 

 

Enjoy!  It’s Sprouting Season!

Ruby Slippers

by Leave a Comment

A friend of mine recently passed away from colon cancer. Her name was Dorothy. We had many conversations about Dorothy of Oz, and the power of her Ruby Slippers.  It’s in her honor that I write these words. 

Ruby Slippers.  Those iconic glittery shoes.  I’ve had a longstanding connection with Dorothy and the Wizard, starting with my theatrical debut as Dorothy in my third grade play. So many of the story’s metaphors are woven throughout my own life’s stories. In some way or other, I’ve met all of the characters, and played many of them as well. But that, dear reader, is a story for another time.

It’s those Ruby Slippers that are calling for my attention today. The Ruby Slippers that even the Wicked Witch couldn’t wrestle off Dorothy’s feet.

Those magical Ruby Slippers ended up being Dorothy’s ticket back home to herself.

The Ruby Slippers, of course, are a metaphor for the magnificent power within us all.  Yet, even though we have this power, there are so many ways we neglect it and suppress it. Sometimes we don’t believe in it. Sometimes we don’t know it’s there at all.  Just like Dorothy, we go looking for it outside of ourselves. And, so often, it’s our darkest moments that bring us back to our power.

In the end, though, it’s up to us to tap into our own power.

Here are some steps to tap in:

Become Aware of Your Inner Power —   Dorothy was completely unaware of the power of her Ruby Slippers.  Without awareness, we can’t even begin to use our power.  So the first step, is the simple awareness of the power within you.  Take notice of the power of your mind, your body, your intuition, your gifts and talents, your spirit.  Increased awareness creates increased evidence. Evidence brings belief.

Believe in Yourself —   Dorothy’s adventure in OZ was a search for happiness outside of herself. She never found it. Towards the end, when things got really dark, Dorothy believed she would never find it. Good thing Good Witch Glinda stepped in to remind Dorothy of her inner power. It was only then, when Dorothy believed in the possibility, that she was able to access the magic of her Ruby Slippers.  It’s when we believe in ourselves that we open up to our true heart’s desires. Sometimes that means just believing it’s possible.

Activate your Power  —  Until we activate our powerful gifts and talents, they lie dormant within us. To activate her Ruby Slippers, Dorothy closed her eyes, looked within, and tapped her heels. She believed in the possibility, and she knew exactly what she wanted.  And, at last, her shoes guided her back home to herself.  Self-belief, focus, and clear intention. These are the tools we need to activate our heart’s desires.  It’s our guided actions that will take us where we want to go.

Remember,  your  inner power is always with you, especially in your darkest places. Tap in, and activate it.  You don’t have to wait any longer.  Go home to the power within yourself.  There’s no place like it.

My friend Dorothy was a true inspiration.  Even at the end of her  journey, she radiated the magnificence of beautiful inner power.  I feel honored to have known her.

How to Use EFT Tapping to Release Tension (video)

by 2 Comments

 

Here it is.  Finally.  A quick video where I show you exactly how to use the Basic Recipe for EFT Tapping.   If you read my newsletters, you know that I am a Certified EFT Practitioner.  You may have guessed —  I LOVE EFT!

But, you might not know exactly how EFT works. Or, you may have forgotten the tapping points.  Or, you might just want a complimentary mini EFT Session.  So here it is.  Your complimentary mini-EFT session.

Although EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)  has been around for decades,  there are many people who don’t quite understand it. (And those who have never heard of it. )  In fact, at my monthly EFT workshops at a local hospital,  most of my students have never used (or heard of) EFT.  By the end of class, students are amazed at the power of EFT to help them release and relax!

But not everyone can attend my classes.  And I believe that everyone can benefit from learning how to use EFT.  So,  I’m sharing this how-to-use-EFT  video session with you.  Please share it.

The chosen target (problem) for this session is Tension About An Upcoming Project.  Tapping is a perfect way to release the tension and anxiety which gets in the way of  completing a project.  When you use EFT tapping to release unwanted feelings, it will feel easier to accomplish your tasks.

When you use EFT tapping alone by yourself, practice first with issues that feel simple and light.  If emotions such as anger or sadness come up, just keep tapping to help them release.  And, always,  if a problem feels too hard, persistent, complicated, or traumatic — consult with a professional tapping expert, or other healing professional.

If you’re ready for more in-depth EFT Tapping — to release what’s holding you back —  I’d love to  help.  Click here for information about my EFT Services.

Release, Relax & Tap into Your Brilliance!

THE ABC’s of EFT

by 2 Comments

 

Rainbow after the storm.

 

EFT has got to be one of the easiest, most effective ways to release stress, limiting beliefs, and unwanted emotions. I use it on myself, and with my clients.

I am constantly amazed at EFT’s power!

In quick nutshell, here’s how EFT works:

1. According to EFT creator Gary Craig,  “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” When we clear the energy disruption, we clear the negative emotions.

2.  EFT works by tapping on specific meridian endpoints to release and clear energy. There is an easy-to-learn ‘basic recipe.’

3.  Our bodies remember our experiences. Painful experiences, which are not properly cleared, form blocks in our energy system. This creates a disruption to our natural energy flow.

4.  Painful memories (energy disruptions) are triggered by events and people which seem similar to the original event. By clearing the energy disruption, the memory is deactivated, losing its trigger-ability.

5.   Neural pathways are strengthened and ‘thickened’ by consistently believing and thinking the same thoughts.  And vice versa. The stronger a neural pathway, the stronger the belief. These thick neural pathways are what ‘keep’ us in all sorts of limiting belief, thought, and behavior patterns.

6.  EFT helps disassemble old neural pathways, clearing energy disruptions, stress, negative emotions, and beliefs. Once a neural pathway is dissembled, it can be reassembled into new positive pathways.

7.  EFT is easy to use. Once you learn it, you will always have it at the tip of your fingers. Working with an EFT practitioner is helpful for working with persistent issues.

EFT IS THE ULTIMATE FUNK-BUSTING TOOL!  Try it for yourself!
