Making the Right Decision...
It is often challenging to make the right decision when you are receiving information in the form of opinions and feelings from outside of yourself. It is difficult to "hear" or "feel" a YES or NO from inside --- what we call a "body" Yes or No. It took me a long time to recognize the signals, and even longer to trust and act on them. Acting on your own inner guidance means you have to let go of other people's opinions, their approval, the shoulds, what you're supposed to do, and anything else that is contaminating the reception of this vital signal.
First, you must get centered and quiet. Then you will be in a space to practice hearing or feeling a "body" YES or NO answer from inside you by asking very simple questions. Just notice what an obvious YES feels like, or what a clear No feels like from inside yourself. I teach my business clients to check into their guidance this way when they think a business opportunity can't be passed up, or when they are considering a new investment...is it really a YES, or are they being swept up by someone else's hype? I ask my weight clients to do this whenever they sit down to eat...what would they choose based on their internal feeling, not on the shoulds?
Many of you have been writing me with questions about the upcoming workshop in Stamford, Connecticut --- is it right for you? Is it ok to be a beginner? What if pain isn't your primary issue? While I have answered these questions directly already, (and will answer more in a special announcement newsletter) it is still up to you to make the final decision about attending based on paying attention to your internal answers. But it is a perfect opportunity to practice receiving the right answer by using EFT to help you get clear.
There is a real challenge with using energy therapy for living a healthy life filled with abundance: UNTIL you clear the blocks, it is very difficult to take positive action. And until you take SOME positive action, it is impossible to clear the blocks!
Sometimes trying something "different" or getting away from usual patterns is the key. Entering a new location, a different energy, away from the established rhythms that keep you stuck often makes the difference. Joining with a group of people ALL seeking the same vibrational health is incredibly powerful. That is why for SOME of you, the three full days in Stamford, CT at the end of September will be such an important milestone on your healing journey.
You may use the tapping rounds in this issue to help you gain clarity around this particular decision. You might have all kinds of "inner noise" but if you can learn how to get a clear YES or a clear NO body signal around this decision, you are well on your way to gaining clarity around ALL of the decisions in your life. The process is identical.
I asked myself all the questions I needed to before I booked the hotel, so I already know that the perfect combination of people will show up in September. It took the doubts and worries away so I don't need to convince anyone to attend or not. I asked myself if it would be of value for lay people and practitioners to experience 3 days of intensive tapping to blast through their comfort zones, whether the hotel was the right venue, what would be the right dates, and what topics would best serve the people attending. I trusted my answers about the timing and the topics, was open to receiving the YES and NO answers to my questions, and then acted accordingly. I trust you to make the best decisions for you, but the process will be easier for you when you detect the difference between a YES and a NO.
I rarely "guarantee" anything...but if you practice this technique and become even a little clearer about what an internal Yes and NO feels like in your gut, your life will change for the better. And wait until you watch the Law of Attraction bring you opportunities once you are aligned and trusting your inner voice.
Below you will find basic EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, Expecting Success...
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
"Even though I don't know how to make a decision, I have decided to accept myself anyway."
"Even though I am afraid to make the wrong decision, I accept who I am and how I feel."
"Even though I'm insecure about my ability to make the right decision, I choose to feel good about doing my best."
"Even though I'm not sure if this is right for me, I choose to be quiet and hear my answer."
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)
***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: "I don't know how to make a good decision."
Side of Eye: "I doubt my ability to make the right decision."
Under Eye: "What if I make a mistake?"
Nose: "I don't trust that I know how to make the right decision."
Chin: "I feel so insecure about making decisions."
Collarbone: "I have these doubts about what's good for me."
Under Arm: "I don't trust my internal answers."
Head: "I'm not sure I have the ability to make good decisions."
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: "I choose to believe I can learn how to make the perfect decision for me."
Side of Eye: "I expect to learn how to hear myself."
Under Eye: "I intend to expect a positive outcome of this new decision making process."
Nose: "I love knowing I can trust myself now."
Chin: "I love the clarity I am feeling."
Collarbone: "I appreciate my YES and NO answers."
Under Arm: "I choose to feel centered and listen deeply."
Head: "I appreciate and trust my inner guidance."
Then tap on the following phrases as you complete one more round:
I love knowing we all deserve abundance...
I choose to believe in the guidance I am receiving...
I appreciate the prosperity in my life...
I love appreciating my body, my friends, my opportunities...
I'm grateful for all the new opportunities for abundance...
I appreciate exactly who I am...
I appreciate all the lessons I have learned...
I am so grateful for all the prosperity in my life.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS:
This month, I suggest that you practice "hearing your YES and NO signals" about everything you do....what to eat, where to shop, whether to call a customer back yet, what to read, whether to launch your new product, how and when to talk to your kids about an important family decision...This skill is one of the most important ones you will ever learn. Your answer is what's right for you! I won't tell you what to do and can't tell you what will be the best decision for you. However, as I continue to practice and get better and better all the time at this skill, it gives me a great deal of peace. It is an invaluable skill as an EFT practitioner, and anyone navigating this world would benefit from learning it.
