Thought for the day.....

A Course In Miracles

***************************

Hi Everyone,

I received many enthusiastic responses to my recent introduction of the

" Borrowing Benefits " feature of EFT. For many, it represents a big step

toward speed and efficiency in the delivery of these procedures.

Simply stated, the process allows someone with little or no experience in

EFT to tap along while someone else is undergoing EFT (e.g. in a session,

seminar, group or video) and often experience profound benefits. This is

true even though the issues being tapped on appear to be widely different.

This does NOT suggest that professional help should be avoided. Rather, it

proposes a tool that could substantially aid the therapeutic process.

If you wish to review this procedure, I've included it as part of the

Tutorial Series on our web site. Go to

www.emofree.com/tutorial/tutorkeleven.htm

Here are some further thoughts/benefits regarding this idea.

1. For many people, the process allows an additional measure of emotional

safety. As you know, EFT is normally quite gentle but a few people people

tune in to some pretty intense stuff and it takes awhile to bring them down.

With the Borrowing Benefits feature, however, the client merely identifies

their issue and then taps along with someone else on an issue that is

seemingly quite different. Thus a sort of detachment is injected into the

process while the client's original issue is being addressed " in the

background. "

This, in my experience, helps to minimize any unwanted intensity while still

getting the job done. The process may or may not give complete resolution

to an issue but, properly done, it is likely to at least take the edge off

(probably much more). Very efficient. Very useful. Very humane.

2. This can also be a superb way to conveniently get at core issues so that

truly deep work can be done. This ability depends, of course, on how

thoroughly and creatively EFT is being applied. If the person undergoing

the direct treatment is fortunate enough to be in the hands of an EFT

Master, then the odds for true deep work increase for all parties involved.

The Masters of this process have learned to search for and relieve those

pesky aspects, core issues and bothersome remnants that show up with

complicated issues.

3. An easy way to tap along with creative EFT sessions is to pick certain

sessions out of your EFT training videos. As you know, these videos are

filled with actual sessions and many of them are quite involved. You can

identify your own issue and then tap along with the video while IN YOUR

LIVING ROOM. Interestingly, the subject matter of these sessions doesn't

seem to matter because your system tends to draw its own parallels. If you

want, though, you can tap along with several of them.

As always, I must caution that some people should not attempt any form of

healing technique without the presence of a skilled professional. Thus, you

must take responsibility for any use you make of EFT.

Here, for your perusal, is a list of the video sessions you might

consider...

TRY THESE SESSIONS FROM THE EFT COURSE:

TRY THESE SESSIONS FROM STEPS TOWARD BECOMING THE ULTIMATE THERAPIST: Many

of these are more detailed than from The EFT Course

Imagining the tapping

Breathing constrictions

Also, Dr. Fred Gallo, Dr. Larry Nims, Tapas Fleming and Marilyn Gordon also

do live sessions for you tap along with.

*********************************

TRY THESE SESSIONS FROM EFT TO THE PALACE OF POSSIBILITIES:

There are numerous sessions sprinkled throughout the 13 videos in this

series and all of them would be useful for Borrowing Benefits. Some of them

are one-on-one work while others take the form of work I do with the entire

audience on...

a. physical pain (of particular interest would be the case where I stop to

work with Lori's broken nose)

b. addictive cravings

c. breathing issues

d. traumatic memories

e. phobias

f. business blocks

*********************************

4. Finally, there is a superb benefit awaiting therapists delivering these

procedures to their clients. Therapists need only identify (privately) an

issue of their own and then tap along with the client. EFT Contributing

Editor Jane Holmes brought this idea to my attention. Here is how she put

it....

" It occurred to me that this could be a wonderful method not only for

therapists to teach their clients and to use in groups, but it could also

provide personal benefits for therapists, as they tap along with their

clients (as many of us do already). I almost always tap on my own meridian

points as I lead the client through the tapping procedure. However I have

never thought of taking the preliminary step of tuning into one of my own

issues as background before tapping along with the client on the client's

issue. I am eagerly looking forward to trying this in my next session. It

would certainly eliminate the excuse of " I never have the time to stop and

work on my own issues! Thanks! "

Hope this helps.

Love,
