Dear SOGR friends,

I have consulted with Rebecca before posting this because I did not want to use the forum inappropriately. You may have read that Rebecca and other forum members have used a technique called EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques. I have been using it on myself and many clients for over four years now with tremendous success. I am not sure there is a single incident that it has failed completely. I have always seen improvement and usually complete success or resolution. (However there are a few times when it does not work.)

I recently became a certified EFT practitioner and am trying to reach further certification. I am required to have reached a certain number of DIFFERENT people helped, even though I have done hundreds of sessions. I decided that in order to do that, I wanted to be able to reach as many people as possible and asked Rebecca if I might make the following offer.

For a limited time, probably the month of February only, I am offering an INTRODUCTORY special. Name your own price for a session with an EFT certified practitioner. Choose an issue and work for 30-45 minutes to resolve it. For more details on the offer, please see my link below which will explain EFT and the limited time offer. Thanks, and as Rebecca says, expect success.

Hey Dawn, I'd love to take you up on your offer. I've got a few things I'd love to work with EFT on. Proberly look to book in end of next week or early the week after when I get paid as I'm temporarily broke at the moment but thats looking to change! (Maybe thats one I need to work on!) I'll message you soon about it!

Shannon

It's been a joy to meet a few of my fellow SOGR friends and be a help. My limited time offer is almost up. I hope everyone is enjoying the tapping world summit. If you thought you might be interested in my offer of an introductory name your price session, with a certified EFT practitioner, now is the time. It ends March 1. But anyone who makes an appointment by March 1 will get the introductory offer. Even if you cannot do it for a few days or weeks. This week I helped people with plantar fascitis, PTSD, worthiness and sleep issues, and more. On March 1, my rate goes up to $100 a session.

Letting go is so good. For the last month or so, I was feeling a little uptight because I wanted to continue to certify in EFT, but there were certain requirements that I did not see any way of meeting because all certifications were closing down due to Gary's retirement, on March 1. I finally just decided to let it go and continue the training on my own without earning the certification.

This morning there was a newsletter from Gary Craig (EFT Founder) in my inbox. And what I had dearly hoped has happened. He has extended the second training until June 1st and that is plenty of time for me to meet those requirements. So, I am very excited.

And because of that, I am extending my name your price to SOGR members until then. It will only be available for SOGR members. I am still taking the information down for regular public, but if it is OK for me to post it here, with Rebecca, I will create a hidden link for SOGR members until then.

I am amazed, even though I know how it works, that something I wanted very much, that seemed impossible happened, when I let go of the negative attachment. COOL!

I know exactly what you mean, Dawn. I feel amazed all the time by things that happen and I've known how this works for YEARS now.

But I just remind myself how delightful and delicious that amazement feels and enjoy it to the fullest!

Congratulations -- on letting go of the resistance, that tight and tense feeling of "I've gotta MAKE it happen, it's gotta happen THIS way." The moment that happens, everything gets better, no matter WHAT the ultimate outcome may be, doesn't it?

It sure does. I have to admit though, I tapped on a few things. So much easier to let it go when you have tools. Be they mental, spiritual, emotional, or other.

I haven't been doing EFT very long. I did a lot of tapping on a certain subject around December last year that had a lot of underlying issues involved in it. The more I tapped, the more I un-covered and so I tapped on those as well. I haven't tapped on that subject since than and haven't even thought about it until the last few days when I realised that all the feelings I had on that topic, things I had been unable to let go of for the last two years, were completely gone! That has given me the motivation to keep on tapping about other subjects!

It certainly does. I do a lot of EFT with others and it really helps with the 'letting go'. Dawn, I'm so thrilled for you. It's SO sad that Gary is retiring, but what an awesome achievement he leaves behind. And I wish you every success with your EFT practice - imagine how much good you're going to do

Well I decided to take Dawn up on her offer of an EFT session to see what it would be like. I'd had results by doing it myself but than again I'm not an expert at it so I was curious to see how it would feel to have someone else lead me through it. There was a few issues that I had been carrying about for a long time with a lot of different emotions and was sabatoging more than one area of my life. Not being able to get my career to the next level and my personal relationships. My own tapping had been semi-successful in getting rid of some stuff but I couldn't really pinpoint what a lot of the other issues were. My session definantly fixed that, it was almost reliving to hear it put into words what was going on in my head and to feel it quickly melt away and be replaced with new positive feelings and positive expectation.

I've had other issues come up since my session but I'm able to address them, tap on them and move onto something positive almost immediately.
I was really angry today when thinking of some people at work and things they've been saying about me, I tapped on my anger today and forgave myself for creating the situation that made me angry. I still felt a bit of that anger when I got into work and felt on my guard a bit for anyone saying something and ready to pounce. But it didn't come. Instead one of my fellow workmates who I expected to say something, out of nowhere, called after me walking down the hallway, "you look really nice today Shannon!" Big turn around!

Since than, I've had some work be offered to me at a university that pays well and is incredibly easy, I've had a lot more confidence in asserting myself and am able to let go of situations that I previously would have hung onto for a long time. In essence, I feel like I've stopped abusing myself internally.

Hope others have had great results as well!

Congrats Shannon for keeping with it! I am a believer that ALL things are possible. No matter how small or large.

The name your own price option is a very ethical way to go with EFT.

I have been tapping on and off for over six years with no success at all including hundreds of dollars spent on practitioners. I finally quit when I read some journals I had written and realized I had been tapping for years on the same issues from every imaginable angle and with tons of help and suggestions for core issues from pracitioners and other tappers. Sometimes it just doesn't work.. and I have even tapped on eft working, again from a million angles.

What you do get is a bit sore around your face.

I appreciate you not wanting to take people's money based on your assumptions about your abilities. It is very conscientious.

Annievt, what is the point of thinking about and talking about what you think does NOT work? Nothing can be gained by doing that. Whenever you give attention to something -- whether you're saying, "Yes, I want/like/approve of that," or "No, I do NOT want/like/approve of that," you are giving it attention and thereby drawing MORE of that sort of thing to you. So if you don't want more of what "doesn't work," then it's essential to let go of those thoughts.

Annie, I can understand your frustration. (Though I have had tremendous success with almost all of my issues, I have found one or two that I continue to work with trying to find the solution, thought, emotion that is the core issues so that it will resolve) There are a very few people for unknown reasons that it does not seem to work for. There may be energy toxins. I don't know if anyone has ever addressed that with you. Additionally, I don't know the level of expertise of those you have worked with. That may play into it. I do not claim to be an expert, but almost anyone can get results just by tapping and being consistent. Some things have many aspects and take time. Others go almost in an instant.

I wanted to respond though. Even if I charged $100 an hour, which is what the general public is seeing on my website, why wouldn't that be ethical? When a beginner can get about 50-70% results, that means they can help 5-7 people out of ten. When someone more experienced like me, can get 80-90% results, helping 8-9 people out of ten, is charging any more ethical? And when an EFT Master or very long time practitioner can get 90-95% results, is charging then any more ethical? It implies it is not ethical to charge unless there is perfection. Doctors charge people over and over and over often without addressing the possible real reasons (thought, emotion) and sometimes with no results and sometimes with very bad results. Most people still do not look at that as unethical, because the doctor's intent generally is to help.

I do no "take people's money" under any circumstances. I found as I used this technique and gave it freely hundreds of times to people around me, that I had a talent. I don't say that to boast. I just realized it from what kind of feedback people were giving me. However, it's the technique not me. And. I have a long way to go which is why I want to keep practicing and learning and growing. My total motivation in doing this is to help people to be relieved of the things that hold them back so they can be all God created them to be. That is why I am dailyabundance.net, because when we can remove the negative, the positive naturally bubbles up. But, even to do that, there needs to be techniques to help people foster that positivity. And that is the direction I am headed.

I have a dream of having a monthly support group for those suffering grief and trauma. One locally, and one online or through conference calling, that I would offer for free. I have suffered great grief and trauma in my life and it has been through EFT that I have been able to shake off those chains that contributed to holding me back and look to the future with brightness. My hope is, that my "business" will become profitable enough to support that dream. So, that is one of the things in my CMI, to give, not take.

And it is my nature to trust in the goodness of people. I think most practitioners have similar goals. To help people with EFT, because it is one of many tools that can release people from what binds them, like it did me.

I hope my response does not feel negative to you. Every time I see a post from you, I cheer within for your success. When I saw the post about the house boat, I thought, aha, maybe something on that trip will surface for Annie, and all that she is trying will pay off. I hope so.

John Siegel, if you see this message, please PM me.

Then do not accept my thanks and appreciation for offering a pay as you can option. Why even offer the pay as you can option if you feel entitled no matter what the outcome?

When my practioners, who also claimed to be superior with high sucess rates, didn't succeed in the first two or three sueesions, admitted their frustration, but pressed to move forward. I had truly thought it would have been ethical of them to offer a reduced rate. I was very trusting and believeing and really thought it would take the edge off some problems so I could move forward. I expected my life to start changing within weeks of my sessions as it did for others....even slightly.

I got a lot of compliments from them all though. They think I am really different and interesting anyway. I felt very special and unique.....and we tapped on that as a reason eft didn't work for me...I am just too damn special and different...lol. It was wasn't worth a few hundred to be told so though. I had already tapped on that angle myself. Live and learn.

Whenever someone tells me I’m ‘special’ it’s almost inevitable that they’re going to try to manipulate or take advantage of me. It’s flattery, and flattery is a tool of deception and manipulation.

If you ever see these ‘wonderful’ EFT practitioners again, ask them if they believe in the Golden Rule, i.e., ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’? And if they say ‘yes’ then, ask them if they went to an auto mechanic to get their brakes fixed, and then the brakes didn’t work, would they still feel they should pay?

Now, as I think about this, there is another option. You went to get a certain result, but were you PROMISED a result ahead of time? Or, were you told, “We can’t make any promises.”? If you were told they can’t promise you anything, but you still decided to give it a go, then I supposed you were forewarned and are obliged to pay.

Sorta like buying a used car with no guarantee.
