I've just read through all the posts since last I was here. Although I'll not be replying to any individual post, here's wishing you all much joy and peace and love.
Nili a slight glitch... the email announcing #224 is a repeat of #223, and the one headed #225 is actually #224. This is followed by #226, so #225 is missing.
I'm not a worrier, so #224 was not applicable to me, but as always I tapped along for the 'borrowed benefits' and the enjoyment. That was good advice about putting in perspe…

How interesting. Although I've done the traditional finger tapping, I didn't know about your second version of finger tapping, the one-handed system. So that was fun! It took a bit of getting used to, but I really enjoyed doing the one-handed version with both hands. Loved taiking to my cells as well. Nili, thanks for the serenity prayer/5 fingered tapping combo. That's awesome!

Oops... I lost my notes on #221 and #222, so I've chosen to listen again to these sessions.
#221 is so not about me. I happen to be a very persistent person, don't do 'boring', I'm very good at saying no and I always put my priorities first. However these past few days I have prioritised an exciting new project I'm researching and my exercise routine has gone for a loop! But nonetheless I still deeply and completely love and accept myself... :)
#222 follows on beautifully from #220. Since that…

Nili, I'm late in posting my comments about #219... life has been pretty hectic for quite a few days now, what with helping my daughter with her website and revising a spreadsheet of pyramid specifications for a friend who intends to build one.
On Sunday, I was taking a break from HTML coding when Julia, my daughter, collapsed on my bed complaining of an aching body. She told me she was detoxing. Anyway I put on my headphones and started listening to #219, and burst out laughing when I heard, "…

Yesterday I listened to newsletter #220, a Dr Phil day session. Your advice was really appreciated, Nili. What I took from it was that I should stay in the moment, and not make food my focus. BTW the first habit I've chosen to break is not to read or watch TV while eating. And so far, so good. You've motivated me to take charge and bring about the change I intend by gradually introducing new eating behaviours. Thanks, Nili.

I listened to #218 yesterday morning, but did not get a chance to respond before now as my daughter needed my help with a couple of time-consuming chores!
I don't have a sweet tooth at all... it's not the sweet things that tempt me but the savoury! But the weird thing is that the evening before I tapped to this session, my daughter held a group meditation in her living room, which meant the kitchen was out of bounds. Because I did not have time to prepare my evening meal before the meditation s…

Whenever I hear the word deprived, I'm tempted to add "and depraved". It was a term often used by a dear friend who passed away last year, and one that I adopted, that became our private code for someone who was acting like a victim. It was all in jest!
I personally don't appear to have feelings of deprivation when it comes to food, or anything else for that matter. It doesn't bother me to give up something, probably because I've disposed of so many of my material possessions! For instance I wa…

My daughter, with whom I'm staying while in Cape Town, asked me to put up a curtain rail in her new healing room late yesterday afternoon. As it was a last minute request, AND I had to make do with a stool instead of a ladder, AND she did not have the correct size bits for her electric drill, I really felt the heat to get the job done before her client arrived. Fortunately I'm a master at improvisation so I completed the task in time, but I did get stressed!
How great then to sit down at my lap…

Nili, there is no sound on newsletter #215. That's the one you had trouble with initially, right?

Thanks, Nili, for the re-send.
Wouldn't it be nice... Wow! I did this exercise twice, yesterday and today and both times I yawned throughout, an indication to me that something definitely happened! I also added more statements related to my resistance to exercise. As you say, Nili, this is such a gentle and pleasant way to release resistance and bring about those changes that will transform our bodies.
BTW I've been a great fan of Abraham for 10 years. My books are in storage but I do have a 5…

Fantastic! I definitely don't have a thin person metabolism... yet! I loved this session for I'm one of those people who gains weight from looking at a slice of bread. Thanks Nili.

Oops... I missed seeing your latest newsletter yesterday, Nili, but I stumbled across it this morning while filing my email messages!
How absolutely interesting. I learnt a lot about the thymus that I'd been clueless about. First though I have to explain that I was in a lovely space when I started the thymus exercises. I was still basking in all the love and attention given to me yesterday on my birthday and the fun day I enjoyed. And then... Yippeeee!!!!! I found out this morning that I'd lost…

Whoo hoo!!! I stepped on the scales today and was shocked and stunned to see that I'd lost a kg and a half! That's 3 1/2 kg in just over 3 weeks! I can't believe it.
Must be all the walking I did yesterday looking for stuff for tabletop fountain-making. I've got back into making them and was doing a recce for suitable materials.
So... newsletter #211 was not about me today... after stepping off the scales I meditated, so I was totally relaxed when I listened to the latest recording. But I tapp…

It's weird (and yet very gratifying) but I have not had the urge to snack at night, nor have I munched on peanuts at any time during the day since I started here at Lose Weight with me and EFT! What I need to ask myself though is what's my payoff for not exercising and drinking enough water. Hmmm...

I used to be the world's worst hoarder. That all changed when I decided to become a gypsy at the beginning of last year and methodically got rid of stuff, including my home! The most liberating experience ever!
That's why I can relate to #208 - clearing out the mess! Just as my lifestyle is freer because the physical clutter is no more, so too will I have a "freer flowing metabolism" when I clear out cluttered thinking about my weight issues. Thanks, Nili.
As for #209, I've only made a tentati…

I'm a great fan of Dr Phil so I was thrilled to hear that some of the sessions are based on his weight-loss book.
#203 - Re bad habits, I like the idea of asking my subconscious mind for help in finding a replacement for the pay off. And I love the statement "I don't like to tell myself no"!
#206 - Some of the problem behaviours that I have with food are eating fast, watching TV or reading while I eat, and night time eating. The latter I've been able to quit doing during the past 2 weeks, I'm…

I listened to #205 on Saturday evening, but didn't get a chance to comment until now, because I attended an awesome all-day workshop the following day and relaxed when I got home, just staying in the great energy of it.
So... getting stuck. There are a few areas in my life which I've allowed to stagnate. This session was perfect for shifting my procrastination and getting me moving forward not only in my weight loss programme but those other areas as well.
And I love it that "every single posi…

Another interesting session. Got in lots of tapping. Although I don't relate to Karen's issues, I'm a great believer in 'borrowing benefits', and appreciate the sessions as a teaching tool.

The correct recording for lesson 6 was super! I discovered that my reasons for overeating recently are disappointment and sadness, some irritation and occasional 'fogginess'. By the latter I mean difficulty in getting clarity about a couple of issues. Wow... what great tapping opportunities.
I'm amazed that my food intake has diminished considerably. No hunger. No inclination to snack at all. It's fantastic. I'm walking taller and 'tighter'.
Thanks to Nili and Ilana for a great programme.
