One of my business goals for 2010 is to deepen my local network. Poet and corporate consultant David Whyte is fond of saying, “Sometimes the truth depends on a walk around the lake.” Having a trusted a colleague to stroll around the lake with can be just the thing to take things to the next level. Besides, hugs over Skype aren’t the same.
Last night, I put this intention into action by going to a new networking event. I walked into a noisy crowd of over 70 people with only a few familiar faces. As a relative introvert, this was a bit overwhelming. Recognizing that overwhelm wasn’t going to lead to the results I was hoping for, I took a few moments to get centered.
As soon as I did, I noticed a friend I hadn’t seen and made my way over to her table. When she saw me she said, “Oh my goodness! We were just talking about you and EFT!“ Turns out, she was sitting with a colleague who has a consulting business. This consultant had recently began experimenting with using EFT in her business and was thrilled to meet me. We spent much of the night having a high energy conversation about EFT and applying energy psychology in business settings.
Synchronicity is VERY Attractive
Back in the 1930’s, Carl Jung created the term “synchronicity” for events like what happened last night. He observed, “when coincidences pile up in this way, one cannot help being impressed by them.“ Imagine being the woman I met last night and having someone who has experience with something that is a leading edge in your business manifest before your eyes. How likely is it that you would forget that?
As I have increasingly cleared my own limiting beliefs, these type of ‘coincidences’ have been happening more and more often. And, my experience is that Jung is absolutely right – each time it happens, people are deeply moved.
How to Attract More Everyday Miracles
Now I don’t know anyone who can walk on water or conjure up a 7 course meal at the wave of her fingertips. At the same time, I do see that conscious business owners often share this experience of marvelous surprises happening increasingly more often. Are these accidents or is there anything we can do to increase how often they happen?
Let me be clear that I don’t think we can MAKE things like this happen. What I think we can create are the conditions in our lives for synchronicity to happen more often. Here are 3 strategies for infusing your success plan with more everyday magic:
- Clear the beliefs about having to MAKE your success goals happen. In most business thought, there is an underlying belief that for you to succeed, you have to MAKE it happen. Think of the term, “Self-made millionaire”. When we buy into these understandings of success, we are setting ourselves up for stress and struggle. My favorite way to clear these kinds of beliefs is with EFT, Money Matrix and other energy psychology tools.
- Appreciate the synchronicity that has already happened in your life. Every one of us has had some experiences of synchronicity in our lives. Prime your everyday miracle pump by bringing these experiences to mind with as much sensory details as you can. Re-member literally means “to re-embody”. Writing or drawing these experiences are a great way to do this. Also, be on the lookout for any little magical events that happen each day and appreciate the heck out of them. Don’t limit yourself to the area of success and money – notice it in all areas of your life.
- Invite More Magic Into Your Life. My favorite way to do this is with Law of Attraction tools like the Focus Wheel. For instance, after last night’s experience, I did a Focus Wheel this morning on the theme of “There’s more and more everyday magic in my business.” We can deliberately attract more of what we want in our life.
For thousands of years, spiritual people have observed that it is possible for us to increase our ability to be in what athletes call “The Zone”. When we are in this state, both the number and the magnitude of the synchronicities in our lives go up. Infusing your success plan with more of this energy is both fun and effective.
Lately, I’ve been seeing the issue of impatience pop up in a number of sessions. As in, “Why is it taking SO LONG for things to change?!?“ When a theme repeats like this, I know it’s time to write about it. If you’ve ever felt like your success plan was taking too darn long, I encourage you to keep reading.
How Listening to A Park Bench Made One Man Wealthy
One of my favorite stories about the energy dynamics of change comes from the spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle. Today, many people know him as Oprah’s friend and best selling author. Many people don’t know that before he became famous, Eckhart Tolle was stuck and confused. He didn’t have a stable home or job.
Eckhart knew he wanted a different life, but he didn’t know how. One day sitting on a park bench, Eckhart had a realization that changed his life and brought incredible success. He realized that he was spending a great deal of energy fighting the circumstances of his life. Though he didn’t want to be confused and jobless, he was.
Eckhart understood that the only way things were going to really change is if he could “surrender” and “walk through the doorway of NOW”. That insight lead to a feeling of profound well-being so strong that people started to approach him for guidance. His career as a spiritual teacher was born.
What’s Your Park Bench?
You don’t have to have to be almost homeless to have this stuck energy operating in your life. For me, it was being in position of going through a divorce and being “just over broke” doing work I didn’t like.
In fact, there is a basic energy equation when we are feeling frustrated. It is:
I’m frustrated that I’m here (in a place I don’t want to be) when I want to be there (in a place I want to be more).
Wanting change and success is a good thing. At the same time, it’s difficult for success to flow smoothly with this kind of tension in your system.
Easing Into Success with EFT
Energy intelligent people will recognize that being in this state of tension and having your focus on what’s not working is going to attract more tension into your life. Let’s take a look at how to shift into a place of being more ready for change with EFT (if you want to learn EFT basics, click here).
Frustration Sequence – The Problem
Karate Chop: Even though it feels like things are taking too long to change and I’m feeling impatient, I’m willing to be a little kinder and gentler with myself anyway.
Eyebrow: I don’t know why things in my life aren’t changing faster.
Side of eye: I’m feeling impatient with the pace of change in my life.
Under the eye: I’ve been working on change for some time now.
Under the nose: Why aren’t I further along?
Chin: It’s taking SO long.
Collarbone: I feel lots of pressure to change things NOW.
Under the arm: I don’t like how long this is taking.
Take a deep breath and give a moment for this tapping sequence to settle.
Frustration Sequence – The Solution
Karate Chop: Even though in the past it feels like things weren’t changing fast enough, I’m choosing to find a more relaxed relationship with change now.
Eyebrow: In the past, I was focusing on what wasn’t going well in terms of change.
Side of the eye: No wonder I was feeling so frustrated.
Under the eye: What would happen if I could find a way to release that pressure?
Under the nose: What if I COULD relax about the pace of change in my life?
Chin: I wonder if I could actually change faster if I didn’t feel so much pressure?
Collarbone: I give myself permission to experiment with releasing this pressure.
Under the arm: I’m excited to work towards my success goals in more relaxed way.
Take a deep breath and give a moment for this tapping sequence to settle.
Summing it up
One of the great paradoxes about life changes is that they tend to happen the fastest when we are in a state that athletes call “The Zone”. Pushing gets in the way of this. Instead, use your favorite clearing tool to release the frustration and struggle patterns.
Next, allow yourself to experiment. What would it be like to allow yourself to work from the Zone more? How are you already doing this? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the form of a comment below.
Lately, I’ve been hearing myself say to clients repeatedly, “you need a prosperity buddy.” When something keeps showing up like this, I know it’s time for a blog post. In this post, I want to share with you what a prosperity buddy (also known as a mastermind buddy) is, where to find one and what to do once you have one.
What the heck is a prosperity buddy?
The biggest lesson most success seekers need to learn is how to consistently nurture their deepest desires. Honestly, most of us aren’t very good at doing this. This is why most abundance programs fail – they don’t teach us how to do the kind of ongoing tending that real success needs.
A prosperity or mastermind buddy is a deliberately chosen friend who we agree to get together with regularly and nurture each other’s success intentions.
Buddies set aside time, usually either weekly or bi-monthly, to trade experiences of sharing honestly about what their dreams are and work on releasing the limiting beliefs and feelings that are getting in the way of manifesting those dreams. My favorite way of releasing the gunk that’s blocking success is with EFT.
Where the heck do I find a prosperity buddy?
“OK, sounds good Paul,” you may say, “but where do I FIND a prosperity buddy?” Notice that in the above section, I underlined the idea that buddies are deliberately created. I’m going to share several ideas of where you can find a prosperity buddy below. At the same time, keep in mind that for the process to work well, you need to have a buddy that you feel comfortable sharing emotional and financial information with. Selecting a prosperity buddy is a great time to use your spiritual awareness and intuitive skills.
That said, here are 5 places to find a prosperity buddy:
- Among people you already know and trust. Some of you already know people who would make great prosperity buddies. Perhaps you have a friend, colleague or acquaintance you trust and believe would be open to this kind of ongoing supportive relationship. Avoid trying to be a buddy with someone you are in a romantic relationship with.
- The readers of this blog. People who read and comment on this blog tend to be spiritual and fun success seekers who are familiar with EFT and the Law of Attraction. They also tend to know other people who fit this description. Feel free to leave a comment that you’re looking for a buddy.
- The forums at the main EFT website (www.emofree.com). A number of my clients have found prosperity tapping buddies by connecting with people in these forums. Specifically, there is a forum called “Abundance” which is focused on using EFT for money and success issues.
- TappingBuddies.com While the activity on this site is less than what I wish it were, this site is focused on helping people find tapping buddies.
- Social Network sites. Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and other such sites ROCK! I met my awesome Mastermind buddy, Sejual Shah, this way. Through the magic of these sites, you have the opportunity to get to know someone in a safe and easy manner. Once you meet someone you like the energy of, invite them to have a conversation to get to know them better. If you get a good sense of the person, then bring up the idea of becoming prosperity buddies.
I’ve got a buddy. What the heck do we do now?
Here’s the 6 steps to creating a good prosperity buddy relationship:
- Start with appreciation. Appreciate your buddy and yourself for doing this. Appreciation goes a long way towards creating the kind of safe and fun environment that will serve you well over time.
- Leave judgment at the door. Your role is not to judge or fix your buddy. Instead, help your buddy clear the blocks and track the progress that she is making over time. Deep listening is also extremely valuable.
- Agree to a regular meeting schedule. Remember the whole point of this relationship is to create an environment of consistent nurturing. Most buddies meet either every week or bi-monthly.
- Check in – from the heart. At the start of each meeting, take turns doing a short (3-4 minutes) check in. Be authentic about what you are noticing in relationship to your deepest success dreams. Pay particular attention to the emotions – that’s the key to where the energy is for you.
- Use energy tools to remove the blocks. Once you’ve both checked in, decide whose turn it will be that meeting to do clearing work. It’s best to devote a meeting to one person’s issues (alternating works great). Use EFT or another energy tool to clear the blocks that are getting in the way of your success dreams. Feel free to contact me if you need help learning to do this.
- With the blocks out of the way, explore what action step you are inspired to do. Once the blocks are out of the way, aligned actions steps will naturally appear. No pushing or heavy handed advice giving needed.
I hope this post inspires you create a prosperity or mastermind buddy relationship in your life. In comparing notes with the dozens of prosperity and success coaches I know, our collective experience is that this is one of the most important predictors of people who actually MANIFEST their success dreams.
I have a confession to make. I have been resisting creating an EFT product even though I get asked for one frequently. After hearing myself yesterday explain to Till Schilling, the creator of Tappy Bear, why I’m best working with people and need to interact to shine (Resistance. Blah, blah, blah.), I decided it was time to do some inner work.
There is an old folk saying that “curiousity killed the cat”. It’s wrong. Curiousity doesn’t kill cats – it melts resistance. So, I asked myself, “What is up with the fighting?” I tapped on the feelings. It turns out that EFT founder Gary Craig was right. The results I got made my jaw drop.
Turns out, I had a belief system that went like this: “Products are B-O-R-I-N-G. I don’t want to be boring. So I can’t create a product.”
As I released my “I don’t want to be boring” issue, new thoughts started flowing. EFT is a very funny looking yet very effective thing we use to clear up some of the stickiest issues in our lives. Lots of material for playing with the paradox there. What if I wrote an EFT manual that was fun and effective? I instantly noticed one of the best indicators of high vibrational states of being – a smile.
Then a new limiting belief popped up (goodbye smile). Would anyone actually want to buy my irreverent EFT manual? I’ll spare you the details of the self-worth issues behind that question. I’ll give you the 140 character, Twitter version. I tapped some more. Darn EFT stuff worked again.
I remembered this really cool thing called a blog where I could get feedback from cool people like you. I am thinking of writing a manual called From Chaotic to Clarity: How to Use EFT and Humor Attraction to Clear Overwhelm. It would start out something like this:
What you hold in your hands is the world’s first highly irreverent and effective EFT for Overwhelm manual. And, the truth is, this manual almost never got written.
From there, I would go on to share how I combine EFT and humor to help clients shift from feelings of overwhelm into states of being much clearer and more able to create the lives they want. I would love to hear your thoughts in the form of a comment below. Thanks in advance!
On November 6th-8th, there is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about EFT called The Tapper’s Gathering. It’s being organized by EFT Master Rue Hass (one of my favorite EFT practitioners) and there will 8 other highly experienced presenters – including yours truly. I’ll be sharing the Money Matrix process which uses EFT and Family Constellations work to easily clear abundance blocks and create the life of your dreams.
Rue recently sent out an email of questions that people are asking about the Gathering. I wanted to share them with you:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What if I am new to tapping? Will this be too high level for me?
“I am only beginning to learn about tapping. Is the conference suitable for a novice like me? I have fibromyalgia and some other chronic pain issues. I really want to learn. I signed up for the online World Tapping Seminars on the Dr. Mercola site. Will this be too high level for me?” My reply: I think that you will benefit a lot from coming. There will be several presentations that will be directly relevant to your situation. You will learn how to approach tapping from all different angles and in different contexts. Tapping is not like taking pills or getting surgery. So often we try to use EFT to beat up something we don’t like about ourselves. But healing any condition with tapping depends a lot on the mind-set and heart and intention that you bring to doing it.
The Tappers Gathering is meant to lift your heart and deepen your intention! When you are first learning how to tap (AND when you are experienced!) it is very helpful to observe many different practitioners as they talk about and demonstrate their work. This is what I did when I was learning – and I still do that! You will find that everyone does tapping a little (sometimes a lot) differently. I am looking forward to learning from all of the presenters too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will the presentations be mostly lecture, or will there be tapping too?
November 6 On Friday, the first day, I (Rue) will be offering two half day presentations which will have lots of individual and group tapping in them. In the morning my focus is “A Spiritual Approach to Healing What Hurts.” I will be doing two demonstrations. The first will give you a fascinating and enlightening way to gather information about yourself or your client that I call “Creating a Map of the History of Your Future.” This mapping adventure invites you to consider the legacy that you want your life to leave.
So many people think they have wasted their lives in confusion and turmoil. This session will show you how it was all worth it, and everything that happened served your particular purpose for being here. In the second demonstration, I will share one of my favorite tapping protocols. It is a very effective way to bring Spirit, however you define it in your life, into the healing process. In the afternoon, I will be teaching “How to Re-Focus Your Fears About Putting Yourself out there.” In this session you will learn to tap into a new way to think about who you are and what you have to offer. This will be useful no matter what context you want to show up more confidently in. It will be helpful for anyone, but especially useful for people who have a highly or spiritually sensitive nature. My ulterior motive: I want to encourage you to apply to present at the Tappers Gathering next year! November 7-8 Each of the nine people we chose to be on the program is committed to giving you lots of good information, new ideas, AND tapping. Each of them will pack a lot into their hour!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can I get credit toward my EFT certification from attending?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No, The Tappers Gathering has nothing to do with any certification program. You will, however, receive a “Certificate of Attendance” that may be used for keeping some certification that you already have current. For instance, I belong to professional organizations that require evidence of my continuing education. This certificate would serve that purpose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Is this like an EFT Masters Showcase?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that the EFT Masters Showcases were designed to give people the opportunity to observe the work of people who were considered experts in EFT. At the Tappers Gathering you will get to watch and tap with experienced practitioners. You will learn a lot about how to use tapping in many different contexts. You will benefit whether you are just tapping on your own or with family and friends, or if you are a practitioner yourself. No, in the sense that those events were stage Showcases. If you went to them you were The Audience. The Tappers Gathering is meant offer just as valuable content, but with a community feel, a “we are learning together,” sense.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can’t come this time! Will you be doing this again?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I got this nice message on Facebook: “Rue – This looks fabulous! I just discovered it (and it falls the weekend after my daughter’s wedding, so I won’t be coming – too bad). I did post it, and I wish you all an incredible event. I’ll plan on next year, however, and will be there in spirit this year.” We would like for this to become an annual event, likely around this time of year. With the exception of tapping presentations that appear on the program of a few professional conferences, and isolated classes and training events scattered around the US during the year, there really isn’t anything happening in the North American tapping world that is like the Tappers Gathering. (That I know of, anyway.) We want you to come and get to know others like you, learn, have fun, be well taken care of in this exceptionally welcoming venue of Sunrise Ranch, share what you know, and participate in deepening and furthering EFT and all the meridian therapies. Join us – add your unique contribution this co-creative map of the history of humanity’s future! It won’t be the same without YOU!

One of my main goals for creating this site is to advocate for authenticity – I want you to believe in your bones that it is possible to be a fun, authentic and spiritual human and make plenty of money. What does this have to do with sugar water? Let me explain ..
This morning I met with Sejual Shah, a wonderful EFT practitioner – her site is www.healthyinmind.com – for our weekly Mastermind session. It was my turn and I brought up fear I was feeling about a project I’ll be announcing soon. This project is going to mean MUCH more visibility for me and my business.
I couldn’t quite put my finger on this fear. Sejual helped me clarify and clear what was going on.
When I was a kid, we lived a few miles from the headquarters from one of the largest soft drink companies in the world. Also as a child, my father worked in a company whose major source of income was tobacco products. Many of my friends parents worked in environments like this.
Even then, I felt strongly that making tons of money selling soda (yep, that’s the sugar water) and other products that damaged peoples health was out of integrity. Looking back from today’s vantage point, I realize that early in life I took a spiritual vow to value integrity over money.
While I have done LOTS of work on allowing money and my spiritual beliefs to live well together, this new venture I’m embarking on brought up this theme at a new level. While most of me is excited and aligned with increased success, I realized that there was a part of me feeling afraid I might “step out of integrity as I step into the limelight.”
Four things I learned about the dynamics of increasing success from this experience:
- At the threshold of each new level of success, we are likely to experience new issues. This is normal – when we come to the edge of our known world, it’s our nervous system’s job to send out a signal. It’s a sign saying, “You are leaving the known, are you sure you want to do this?”
- Spiritual people often take vows that impact our relationship with money. My mostly unconscious vow had been to value integrity more than I value money. Thanks to today’s session, I now believe that I can continue to find more and more ways to make money with the power of my integrity.
- Without clearing, #1 and #2 often sabotage our success. My own life story prior to energy psychology is a tale of good intentions sabotaged by the above. Most of my clients have similar stories.
- Support is essential. Tiger Woods had a coach before he became a golf sensation and having great support is significant part of why he became the golfer he is. Successful people almost always have a combination of mentors, coaches, mastermind groups, prosperity buddies, etc. I would like to invite you to explore the level of success support you have in your life.
No matter where you are in your success journey, understanding these 4 dynamics will increase your ability to manifest success. I’d love to hear your thoughts about how you have seen these and other dynamics work in your life. Please comment below and thank you in advance for sharing.
Let’s face it, spiritual people can get pretty off center when it comes to money. Many traditions have strong teachings about the dangers of money. Even those of us who don’t follow a particular path are influenced by powerful archetypes like the begging monk and the rich person who lost her soul (remember Scrooge?).
An example of this tension in the Judeo-Christian tradition is this line from the Book of Mathew in the Bible:
And again I say to you: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
These kinds of sentiments exist in most spiritual traditions. When spiritual people begin to look at increasing the success and abundance in their lives, there are almost always limiting beliefs like these to clear. The question is – how?
Tailenders and your success dreams
Those of you who have been following me for awhile know that I’m a big fan of the energy psychology tool called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). If you don’t know EFT, you can learn more about it at the post called EFT Tapping Points or by going to the main EFT website, www.emofree.com.
In EFT, there is a energetic dynamic called the “tailender”. Tailenders are self-sabotage messages that usually live below conscious awareness. You can also think of them as the hidden, “Yeah, but ..” part of affirmation statements. Because they have been operating for a long time and often get passed down through the generations, they are usually often more powerful than consciously chosen positive thoughts.
How EFT can heal the divide
The problem for spiritual people is that we often have tailenders that limit our ability to allow financial abundance into our life. Here’s a tapping sequence for clearing this:
Karate Chop: Even though I have this message that spiritual people can’t be wealthy, I’m willing to be a little kinder and more gentle with myself anyway.
Karate Chop: Even though my spirituality is very important to me and I don’t know how to be both spiritual and have abundance, I love and accept myself anyway.
Karate Chop: Even though I don’t know how to have both a deep spiritual life and plenty of money, I’m open to the possibility that there is way I could have both.
Eyebrow: This divide between money and spirituality.
Side of the eye: I don’t know how to have both.
Under the eye: I learned that it’s difficult to have both money and spirituality.
Under the nose: No wonder this has been a source of struggle for me.
Chin: I haven’t known how to have plenty of money and still be spiritual.
Collarbone: I’m choosing to forgive myself for my past struggles about this.
Under the arm: I’m curious if there is a way I could have an easier relationship between and money and spirituality in my life.
Once you’ve tapped on limiting beliefs that create the tension between money and spirituality, you’re ready to tap on opening up to a different kind of relationship between them.
The Solution Sequence
Eyebrow: I’m starting to open up to a new relationship between money and spirituality in my life.
Side of the eye: What if there is a way that I can have plenty of both in my life?
Under the eye: It would be nice to have more ease around money.
Under the nose: I’m curious if there was more ease between money and my spirituality, what would happen in my finances?
Chin: I wonder if I could find more ease between money and spirituality?
Collarbone: I’m choosing to explore a more harmonious relationship between money and spirituality in my life.
Under the arm: It feels good to know that I can have both more money and a deep spiritual awareness in my life.
One of the more exciting spiritual developments recently is that there are a growing number of teachers that feel that a harmonious relationship between money and spirituality is allowable. Some even teach that it’s fun. Two books – from very different traditons – that explore this are Geshe Michael Roach’s book The Diamond Cutter and Ester and Jerry Hick’s book, Money and the Law of Attraction. If you have found other resources that have helped you heal the money and spirituality divide, I’d really appreciate it if you’d mention them in a comment.
I just got off the phone with Chip Engelmann, an EFT and Law of Attraction Coach and a friend of mine. In addition to planning an exciting teleclass series we’ll be offering soon, we also spoke about the most frequent request we both hear in terms of EFT for Abundance – that is “How do I know what to tap on?” It got me thinking that about the need for a blog post that gives you some insight into how experienced EFTers help their clients zero in on specific abundance blocks.
Here’s the three best ways to help you know what to tap on when you’re using EFT for Abundance:
1) Using the Tailender Technique. In EFT language, your tailenders are the “Yeah, but ..” part of an affirmation. In other words, they are like an industrial strength rubber band tied around your waist that holds you back from making progress towards what you want. In the Using the Tailender Technique, you deliberate explore your tailenders and find the issues that need clearing by doing so.
Start by finding a clear money affirmation that is a) believable and b) exciting to you. For instance, “I easily and consistently make $100,000 per year.” Once you have your affirmation, take 3 deep breaths. Notice how your body feels and what thought are going through your mind. This is your baseline.
Now, say your affirmation out loud, “I easily and consistently make $100,000 per year.” Notice what happens in your body. Say it out loud again. This time notice what thoughts go through your mind. The body sensations and thoughts that happen after you say the affirmation usually have the energy of constriction. These are your tailenders, the things that block you from creating more abundance.
For a moment, I ask you to relax your resistance towards your tailenders. Be willing to explore them. What does that body sensation remind you of? Who does that negative thought bring to mind? Through a curious exploration of your tailenders, you can find the core issues that are limiting your ability to be more successful in an authentic way. Once you know the core issues, you on them.
2) Clear by the Numbers. Chip Engelmann has developed a technique where he has clients explore their feelings about making different amounts of money. In this approach, you start with an amount that feels comfortable to you. For instance, suppose you currently earn $30,000 per year. You would state, “I easily and consistently earn $30,000 per year.” Then, you notice how that feels. You keep increasing the amount until you notice some discomfort. For instance, suppose $40,000 feels comfortable but you notice a feeling of “I don’t think so” when you say “I easily and consistently earn $50,000 per year.” Explore that feeling of “I don’t think so”. Notice where you feel it in your body and who it reminds you of. Then tap on these issues.
3) Clearing your Money Matrix. My favorite way to find your blocks is Money Matrix work. Your Money Matrix is the energetic web that determines your current relationship with money. It is a combination of the important feelings, beliefs and relationships that you have with money. When we are not experiencing the kind of success that we want, it’s often because our Money Matrix is being influenced by negative energies.
Below is the simple 4 step exercise I use with clients to help them understand their current energetic relationship with money and to know what to tap on when applying EFT for abundance. Here are the four steps:
- Take 3 clearing and centering breaths. The purpose of this is to help you relax your system and increase your ability to be aware. With each breath, find yourself becoming a bit more relaxed and more of attention available in the present moment.
- Imagine that you are in a room with money. It’s a simple room, comfortably furnished. Notice where money is in relationship to you. Is it to one side, in the front, outside the room, etc? Take a minute to notice what you what you see in your mind’s eye.
- Notice who or what else is in the room with you. After you have a sense of who and what these presences are, notice where these other presences (people or things) are in relationship to you and to money. For instance, one client felt a 3 inch plate glass wall that was between her and money. Notice what you what you see in your mind’s eye.
- Notice the feelings in your body about your current Money Matrix. Your Money Matrix is encoded into the cells of your body. Paying attention to the feeling in the snapshot you see is a powerful way to access your code. What do you notice in your body and on a feeling level as you view this picture in your mind’s eye? Once you know what your current Money Matrix looks like, you can use EFT to clear what is in the way and allow money to come much more easily into your life.
It’s rare that a mechanical application of EFT leads to abundance results. These three techniques about allow people who are new to EFT for abundance or haven’t yet seen the success they want to get a much better picture of what to tap on. Because abundance is a whole lot easier to move towards without the Great Wall of China in the way.
It happened again the other day. A woman called me – let’s call her Laura. Laura is a spiritual woman who has tried a number of ways to find success. She’s worked for purpose driven companies as well as started her own business. She’s also tried different abundance programs. She said, “I don’t understand it. I’m a smart person. I have lots of experience. I don’t understand why I’m still living month-to-month at this stage of my life.”
It’s hard to increase your success when you think of money as just a colored piece of paper. Smart success seekers understand that money always comes to us through relationships. It’s a symbol we agree to use to express how much value we are providing to the people around us. One of the best ways to improve your income is to increase the number of quality relationships in your life.
Successful business people throughout the ages have known about the power of networking. In fact, groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Business Networking International teach that this is among the most powerful success tool there is.
The problem with most people’s approach is that it leaves out an understanding of mindset. Most people don’t get much from their attempts to increase their network (online or off) because inside they are asking questions like, “how can this person help me make money?”
Imagine you are a prospective client talking with someone you are considering doing business with. What do you feel in your body when the primary question in the person’s mind is “How can you help me make more money?” My first response is “Yuck, get me out of here!”
In order to experience an authentic increase in success, you need 4 kinds of relationships. They are:
- Centered relationship with your Self
- Flowing relationship with money
- Purpose-driven relationship with clients/customers
- Co-creative relationships with colleagues
Energy psychology tools, like EFT and Money Matrix, allow you to easily develop these four neccessary relationships for success. To help you learn how to do this, I’m doing a FREE teleclass on Sunday, August 30th at 2pm Eastern Standard Time. It’s called The Heart of Success: Money Matrix and the 4 Kinds of Relationships You Need to Succeed.
In today’s economy, if you are connected then you are valuable. With email, cell phones, social networking sites and other forms of technology, it’s easier to connect than ever. It’s your thoughts, feelings and behaviors – your Money Matrix – that determines whether or not these connections are a source of support and success. I’m offering this FREE class because I want you to know how to increase your success through the power of relationships.
I work with lots of EFT and Meridian Tapping Practitioners who want to grow their practices. If you have been listening to anyone who’s someone in the Internet marketing world lately, you have heard that social media marketing is growing like the rabbit population during a very wet year. One of the reasons that my own practice has grown faster than most is because early on I tapped into the power of social networking.
One of the big challenges when you’re starting with social networking is finding other people who share your passion. To help you do this, I came up with this list of EFT/MTT practitioners who tweet. The people on list have extensive knowledge about tapping, are skillful at using Twitter as a social networking tool and are real go-givers. Almost all are full time practitioners.
If you are passionate about EFT and other forms of energy tapping and would like to learn more about attracting more clients, I’d suggest taking a look at what this group is doing. The link to each name takes you to their Twitter page and the bios are copied right from Twitter. It would also be a good idea to check out their websites which is listed on the top right of their twitter page.
