The EFT Healing Centre Blog

Last week in my blog post, I was considering what it meant to be the “best”, and how we knew when we’d accomplished it. I suggested that rather than it being about receiving acknowledgement, perhaps it was more to do with being completely connected to who we are, and what we are doing in that moment.
My client had been supervising a group of students and consistently drew a blank, having very little to contribute to the discussion. Deep down, he knew the information well but perhaps because there was a level of expectation upon him, no thoughts would come.
He’d previously told me that he was driven to be the best in all situations, yet he was fully aware that the “best”, whatever that was, was unattainable. All this left him filled with dread and anxiety.
I asked him when he believed he had been at this best in the past. His face lit up and it was easy for him to recollect – it was a time in his life when he was doing what he wanted to do; a time when he had something to say that he was passionate about; a time when he “felt alive”.
The passion he felt for what he was doing was far greater than any fear he had about what he was doing.
Did he receive applause and praise for what he was doing? Yes! And did that feel great? Yes! But what he remembers more than any of that external stimulus was how much he loved life at that time, and how invigorated he was.
To me, that is someone living at their best, thriving, and positively affecting the lives of others around them.
The next time you hear your self-criticism playing, take a moment to recall when you last felt really passionate about what you were doing – when you felt alive – and notice the change in your physiology as you remember what that was like. It will completely shift your vibration.
Then you can begin to recreate that wonderful experience of being at your best all over again in the present time.

How is 2011 so far? Filled with ease and delightful surprises I hope!
Sometimes the beginning of a new year can be stressful because things are different, expectations are high, and motivation can be low. If you are feeling anxious about the changes that the New Year has brought, then you may find the tapping transcript below useful:
If you are new to EFT, please click here to view the tapping points.
With your dominant hand, tap the karate chop point on the other hand while saying the following:
Even though it’s a new year and everything is different, I deserve to feel calm and confident anyway
Even though I adjusted to the last year and it made me feel safe, I choose to believe I can adjust to the New Year just as easily
Even though I don’t like the changes that the New Year brings, what if those changes are exciting and delightful?
Even though I’m fearful of the changes the New Year will bring, I want to let go of these fears surprisingly easily
Now tap the following places while saying each of the phrases below:
Top of the head: all these changes
Eyebrow: I don’t like change
Side of the eye: everything will be different
Under the eye: everything will be unfamiliar
Under the nose: and I’m afraid of these changes
Chin: I like knowing what to expect
Collarbone: I feel safe when everything is familiar
Under the arm: I don’t like change
Top of the head: all these changes
Eyebrow: and I deserve to feel calm during the changes
Side of the eye: what if I could make some positive changes?
Under the eye: what is these changes could be surprisingly easy?
Under the nose: I’m assuming this will be hard
Chin: what if I could look at the year ahead with curiosity instead?
Collarbone: I deserve to look at this New Year positively
Under the arm: and I choose to feel safe enough to do this
Now close your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath. You might need to repeat this process or feel free to change the wording so it applies to how you really feel. The phrases you use are simply a way of outwardly expressing how you’re feeling. You don’t need to be creative or get hung up on find the “perfect” wording – just state what’s on your mind.
