Newsletter #216

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 laptop to open up newsletter #216 and discover that the topic for tapping was stress relief! Nili, you spoke of dealing with deadlines, demands made, family pressures... perfect. All of this was so about me at that particular time.

Thanks. It was a very relaxing session, just when I needed it! BTW that was excellent advice to frequently take little breaks of deep breathing and tapping.

Isn't it a great feeling to be handy and skilled and be able to help as needed? I requested and received a jigsaw for my 21st birthday and have been cutting and drilling and screwing and nailing as needed ever since.

I love the way you report your experiences with the sessions. It motivates me! Thanks, Marie.

Comment by Maria Tiffin on July 3, 2009 at 12:09pm: Ha ha... you and I are so alike in this regard, Nili. I remember being sooooo excited when I was given a hammer drill as a birthday gift! And later my favourite toy was a DeWalt radial arm saw. Because my late husband was a paraplegic for 25 of our 26 years of marriage, I was the handyman while he did the cooking!

Actually the two of us built 2 houses. The first was a double-storeyed brick-and-mortar home in a Cape Town suburb, a house that I designed. I was also the project manager for that project. We lived on site in a caravan... my husband taught maths in the caravan tent while I ran around ordering supplies and supervising the building team. The second was our home on our smallholding in the beautiful Knysna area of South Africa. This was a timber-framed house and large outbuilding... working with timber was right up our alley! Just 4 of us on that project, my husband and I and 2 labourers, with my husband doing all the frame construction and plumbing, and me the drawing-up and submission of building plans, frame specs and electrics! Together the four of us set up the buildings and laid concrete foundations, erected the frames, siding and dry wall. The only extra help we got was from labourers from neighbouring properties for the erection of the factory manufactured roof trusses!

Comment by Dr. Nili Marcia on July 4, 2009 at 3:41am: Wow, wow, wow! That's WAY above the types of things I did restoring late and post Victorian houses in my neighborhood in Detroit, Michigan. I tore down plaster and lath walls, stripped acres of board feet of paint and varnish to get to the original oak paneling and moldings, stripped layers of wallpaper, hired and supervised workers. You had a much more adventuresome experience, building from scratch. Very impressive, Maria!

Very Important Question

One of the most important questions you can ask is
“Does this suit my intentions?”

The word “this” refers to any choice you are making that affects your goals. In the store, when you have those cookies in your hand, ask yourself, “Does buying these suit my intentions?” If you are thinking of watching a movie rather than joining the EFT session, ask yourself “Does this choice suit my intentions?”

Let your higher self answer the question and make your best choice.

The more you ask the question, the more you will be guided by that smart voice that helps you maintain your commitment to yourself.

Gary Craig, EFT founder on what is EFT?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
is a method to release negative feelings naturally.
It is an emotional form of acupressure.
With your fingertips, you tap certain energy points on your body while you are "tuned in" to your problem.

Gary Craig, the founder of EFT:

"I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose, but I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will.

We are still learning why EFT works so well. It centers around the profound effects of the body's subtle energies using the theory that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. Accordingly, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem.

The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods."
