ISSUE #8: Yes, But When?
Welcome to Issue #8 of the Attracting Abundance Newsletter.
***Gary Craig will be Carol's Voice America interview guest on Monday, July 18th at 3 pm ET: "Why EFT Works for Pain and Physical Ailments"***
I have been known to be more than a little impatient when I am waiting for what I think should be coming my way. What's wrong with feeling impatient? Nothing. Impatience is a natural, human, common emotion. The only problem is, the vibration of impatience actually slows down the arrival of the abundance you have been diligently working to manifest these past few months (or years)!
I know it may sound like circular thinking, however, the experts agree that in order to speed up the delivery of what we want, we need to relax, expect that it is already on its way, and feel as if we have already received it. So the trick is to soothe ourselves so the impatience doesn't dominate our emotional life and slow down the "incoming" abundance. We are back to the theory of allowing joy and success to happen naturally, rather than watching the clock and taking score because it hasn't happened yet. That would be like digging up the seeds you planted to check how they are doing. We just need to believe we have done the planting correctly, and trust that the sprouting will happen! Easier said than done, I know.
I highly recommend you review the past newsletters, especially the ones covering
the subjects Resistant to EFT and Does It Have to Be a
Struggle?. To read and tap along with past newsletters, go to http://www.attractingabundance.com/newsletters.
Below you will find EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, Yes, But When?.
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 feel impatient and can't wait any longer, I deeply and completely accept all of me anyway."
"Even though I don't think I can wait any longer for evidence of abundance in my life, I choose to feel calm and patient anyway."
"Even though I'm convinced abundance isn't going to show up after all, maybe I'm not worthy and that's why I'm not receiving, I choose to have faith I am on the right path."
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 can't wait any longer!"
Side of Eye: "Why hasn't my success shown up yet?"
Under Eye: "Haven't I been working hard enough?"
Nose: "Maybe I don't deserve prosperity."
Chin: "I must not be worthy of success and abundance."
Collarbone: "I feel so impatient I want to quit!"
Under Arm: "I'm probably not doing enough anyway, so what's the point?"
Head: "I knew this wasn't going to work, but I choose to keep on believing in me."
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: "I choose to remember all the evidence of success in my life."
Side of Eye: "I appreciate all the work I have done on my limiting beliefs."
Under Eye: "I love remembering we ALL deserve success and abundance."
Nose: "I choose to believe I am worthy and so are you."
Chin: "I enjoy feeling calm, patient, and trusting."
Collarbone: "I know I am on the right path and appreciate the joy in my life."
Under Arm: "Thank you Universe for all the blessings I have in my life right now."
Head: "I love feeling grateful for all the blessings in my life."
If you happened to notice any resistance, any "Yes, but's..." while you were tapping on the positive phrases, then I recommend that you tap another positive round, and add new words that suit your situation. If you heard yourself saying, "No, I don't feel trusting..." then tap another positive round as follows:
I don't trust it is on its way...
Yes I do...
No I'm not willing to wait any longer...
What's the use?
What if I'm doing something wrong?
I don't want to let go of the anxiety...
I will consider trusting Divine Timing...
I choose to remember I am worthy enough to deserve success.
Then use the following extra tapping round (a variation from the last 2 newsletters):
I love knowing it is possible...
I choose to believe in the guidance I am receiving...
I appreciate the changes I have already made...
I love feeling so free...
I feel grateful for my deep relaxation and trust...
I feel freer already and appreciate my life...
I appreciate exactly who I am...
I am so grateful for my newfound belief in prosperity.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS:
Recommendation:
A very effective "game" from my e-book, Attracting Abundance with EFT, is the YES GAME. Here are the rules:
(1) Write down a series of questions to which your answer is an enthusiastic, "YES!"
(2) Practice with the list of questions out loud, to make sure they elicit a good strong "YES!" from you.
(3) Tweak or rewrite any questions that seemed to get only a lukewarm response.
(4) Give the list to a friend to read out loud to you.
(5) Make sure your friend gives you enough time to respond with a great deal of emotion. (Remember, your response is always "YES!")
(6) Read your list to yourself and feel the excitement in your responses.
Examples of questions:
It is important that your questions are not "loaded" with too much emotional content or potential for conflict. I always start with simple surface questions. Remember, it's not the content of the question that matters, it's just the purity of the "YES!" answer that communicates energy to the Universe.
My list includes questions such as:
(1) Do you love living in New York?
(2) Is your name Carol?
(2) Is your favorite color blue?
(3) Do you enjoy your work?
(4) Do you feel joyful when you work with the abundance topic?
I am always able to answer with an emphatic "YES!" to all of these questions.
Tip:
An EFT tip I enjoy: Do a few rounds of EFT while you are looking into the mirror. This can feel awkward at first, but you are engaging another "channel" by accessing your vision directly, and this may strengthen the impact of your treatment.
Other tips, recommendations and games can be found in my e-book, "Attracting Abundance with EFT."
