Working From The Inside Out

Because I've been practicing my EFT faithfully everyday for over 10 days now, a lot of stale and stagnate emotions are starting to surface. I've reflected on how being isolated while being raised in a religious cult from childhood, hampered a lot of my social abilities growing up. Old issues from relationships that I've been through were a popular theme and also self-doubt. I was able to tap through a lot of it with success and come out on the other side with barely a scratch. There are many things surrounding these issues that I still have to deal with, but I'm tapping them away one at a time. The part of me that used to be so empty inside from my 9 year bout struggle with depression is filling up with all the good that I've been establishing with my yoga and EFT and meditation. I'm beginning to center myself and become grounded in my own reality. From the inside out I am starting to glow with calm, focus and healing energy. I know there are a few rough patches ahead, but I am confident that I can navigate right through them.

Dealing With Emotions

Using EFT to deal with emotions is probably one of the most powerful things that a person can do. You can clear away anger, fear, guilt, and a host of negative feelings that invade our lives. It's OK to feel these things, but when they continue to linger past their expiration date, then they can hamper us and get in the way of our personal growth. I often use EFT to uncover the layers that dwell within me. There I find a lot of unfinished business and secrets hidden within my subconscious that I need to erase and reprogram. My journey is still in progress and only time will tell where I end up, but I'm willing to go on my path; looking ahead to the future.

Soul Blossoming

It's springtime and it's out with the old and in with the new. EFT allows for you to spring-clean your soul. It's only when all the baggage is checked from the terminal that is your life-path that you can move ahead and your spirit can bloom. And boy is my spirit awakening and growing with each new yoga practice and EFT session. All of the old stuck and stale energy is washing away as if an April shower had my mind and heart as it's destination. There's definitely a new beginning on the horizon and I'm excited as to where that start is going to end up.There's nothing more refreshing then striking out on your own with a new discovery awaiting you. I'd love it if every reader of this blog would learn EFT and give it a try. There isn't anything to lose but a whole lot of negative thoughts and feelings, and there's everything to gain.

Aligning My Life With Energy

It's wonderful how EFT is transforming my life's path. In yoga and in life, aligning yourself is essential and the key to to self development and growth.This month along with my commitment to practicing EFT everyday for a month, I am deepening my yoga practice by paying closer attention to my alignment and the way I set up my body in each movement and pace myself with my breath. Rodney Yee's DVD's have been a great visual guide, showing me what to do. On Rodney's Blog, I found a wonderful video showing beginners the proper alignment for Sun Salutation. It has made me even more watchful of the way I hold my body so as not to stress and strain by body. Check it out right here. Every day I'll continue my practice and fine-tune it in every way, while using EFT to reach higher and higher for my goals.

Experiencing Useless Emotions

Joe Vitale in his book The Key: The Missing Secret for Attracting Anything You Want, describes guilt as a "useless emotion." I concur, but to Mr. Vitale's list I will also add fear as being another useless emotion. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't be safe and don't fear jumping off a high-rise building with no parachute. I'm talking about those emotional and mental skyscrapers that people create in their minds. I've done it before and we all do it. I'm talking about things beyond our comfort zone. Maybe we don't have the courage to tell our boss that her or she is undermining our self-worth, or our challenge is public speaking. It could be that a room full of people makes us retreat into shyness. Could it be we're afraid to take the next step in a romantic relationship? Or are we afraid to go after our true passions and dreams? Living life this way is a self-sabotage and in doing so, we can never get what we want. To quote what the American Idol judges, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, and Randy Jackson say all the time; "you have to take risks." If the thought of doing that makes you cringe, it's time for few rounds of EFT. EFT has been so helpful to me in my life that I cannot even say. And the more I clear away my own hangups, the more my eyes are open to the fact that so many people in the world could have lives that were more worthwhile to them if they just let go of their guilt and fear. In the end when you think about it harboring those emotions changes nothing and doesn't promote personal grown, but fosters more personal decay. So let go of the pain of guilt and fear and let your life blossom. I know I most certainly am! In the spirit of today's posting, check out this powerful tapping session by Brad Yates. It'll blow your mind! If you need a little help understanding EFT try this handy introduction to the concept of EFT. Enjoy.

Wow!

I'm realizing just how happy I am that I found EFT! There really isn't another method like it out there. I've gained so many benefits from it. I've tapped away fear, rejection, pain from persistent headaches, and even a really bad infection I had. It's just more proof-positive that we are all just large bodies of energy made up from microscopic burst of energy in the form of atoms. Once I learned how to clear my mind of the influence of negative thought patterns, I noticed just how cramped and narrow my thinking had been. I would tell myself that I couldn't do something, or be something and I would actually believe it into existence. Someone said 'you are what you eat'. Well it really turns out that 'you are what you think'. Limiting belief systems are like spiderwebs that you get entangled in and can't find a way out of. The more you twist and turn and fret against them, the harder it gets to pull free. Take a note from EFT and acknowledge them, accept them, love yourself and then forgive yourself for having them and it all goes away. Tap your way to a more fulfilling and rewarding life by embracing your flaws and moving past them!

EFT and Kundalini

Today is a day that feels so full of possibilities. I'm still practicing yoga daily along with meditation and I haven't missed a single day thus far. What I've noticed in combining yoga and meditation with EFT is that it is creating a potent power house of personal energy. Today my yoga style of choice was Kundalini. If you've read my earlier blogs you'll know that Kundalini is all about harnessing the energy that is inside your own body stored around your spinal column and awakening that energy; enlivening it to then rise from the base of your spine up to the crown of your head like a snake. Kundalini loosely translates into "serpent energy" or "coiled energy". EFT works when you repeat various affirmations and tap along the acupressure points which relate to your body's meridians or 'energy pathways' and old, stagnant energy is released along with negative thought patterns and emotions. I've found both of these practices to have a synergistic effect, meaning they work really well together as a unit. I'm anxious to see how I'll feel and where I'll be mentally at the end of this month. Come May 1st I think I will do another chakra test just to give my month-long goal a tangible result that is on paper. But deep down inside I know that I really don't even need that. The benefits I'm getting from this are crystal clear to me and I can feel them increasing day by day. It's really amazing when you think about it!
