Back Home

Well what can I say! A completely mind-blowing two weeks in Sarajevo. What incredible results we had, and what absolutely amazing people we met. Thank you Gary Craig, thank you Karl, and thank you to everyone who helped us get there. More later when I have settled in a bit… Great to be home too- daughter and cats happy to see me, and I’d forgotten just how stunning the Welsh hills and home really are.

Bosnia trip

Well, I have been busy these last 6 weeks or so, fundraising for my forthcoming trip to Sarajevo with the charity Healing Hands Network.
I’m travelling out with fellow EFT and Matrix ReImprinting Practitioner Caroline Rolling, and we will be doing a pilot for the charity, with a view to using more EFT with people traumatised by war, in the future. The Healing Hands Network have been sending out complementary therapists to the area since 1997.
Only a few days to go, and it is starting to feel a little more real. I feel very lucky that I have been given this opportunity to offer my services in this way. But for now I need some sleep! Back soon hopefully to tell you more….

EFT and Abundance

Having shown ‘The Secret’ this week, Machynlleth folk may well be feeling a surge of abundance, though I feel that this abundance will take the form of happiness, good relationships, feelings of worthiness and sustainable abundant lifestyles, rather than fast cars and financial riches that the word ‘abundance’ often conjures up.
I love Abundance work – you can’t go wrong with it really – You appreciate the amazing things we already have in our lives and attract more of the same!! Whilst learning to love and appreciate ourselves…

I’m preparing for an EFT and Abundance Workshop in the New Year Sat, Feb. 6th, in Machynlleth. Followed by an Abundance Group for people to follow an Abundance programme for 4 weeks.
Feeling thankful for the opportunity to do this amazing work and to live in such an amazingly beautiful place in Wales.

EFT and Learning Welsh

I’m busy preparing for the National Eisteddford in Bala, where I will be using EFT with Welsh Learners, to help them overcome anxiety about speaking Welsh. The range of applications for EFT is quite astounding.

Here in Wales, there are many people who are learning Welsh in the classroom or who have learnt Welsh as a child. However they don’t speak Welsh, with anxiety about getting it wrong pretty high up there.

I am a Welsh learner myself, and have definitely experienced anxiety about using the language in everyday life! EFT is an exciting tool that is just entering the world of Welsh Learner’s!

And people who come to Maes D (the learner’s tent) at the National Eisteddford in Bala tomorrow can have a taster of how it works….

EFT Training Courses in Wales!

Just been planning new EFT courses for the Autumn. Exciting times – EFT is such a powerful tool, its great to be able to train more people to be able to use it.
EFT Introduction – family and friends, and EFT and Abundance courses coming soon…. (see my website for dates etc.)

Matrix Reimprinting

A quick note to let you know that I am now a Qualified Practitioner in Matrix Reimprinting – a version of EFT devised by EFT Master Karl Dawson.
This is a very exciting development in the EFT world. Matrix Reimprinting is an even gentler approach to clearing issues. Karl Dawson’s speciality is Serious Disease, and Matrix work is perfect for this.
Traumas can be cleared without the client having to experience any feelings in his/her body at all. All the work is done on the ‘echo’, the part of the self that is holding the information from the traumatic event. This means that very deep work can be done with no distress to the client. Its an amazing breakthrough and utilises knowledge at the cutting edge of quantum science.
More about it later….

Thoughts about the Day – Machynlleth Wellbeing Centre Launch

Well, its the morning of the launch of the Machynlleth Wellbeing Centre that I run with Catherine Evans, homeopath. All the preparations have been done, and now its just a matter of meeting people and telling them the amazing benefits of EFT.
I thought I would be nervous today, but I’m feeling calm, but excited. I am new to giving presentation, but with the help of a number of different sessions of EFT this week, I am ready and excited to be giving an Introduction to EFT presentation.
Its all the more exciting because EFT is little known around here. We live in a rural area, extremely beautiful, but it usually means a lot of travel for anything from clothes to help with spiritual and emotional enlightenment.
I’m not offering the clothes, but I am offering a gift to help people really free themselves. I really feel that it is an honour to bring EFT to this part of Wales.

That’s all for now: I have to have a big bowl of uwd (porridge in Welsh, pronounce ‘ood’ more or less.) and get on my way.

Hope you have a great day,
Fiona

When the going gets tough- tapping on yourself

After writing the last post I thought about my own experiences of using EFT on myself.

Just before Christmas, I had a lot of anger coming up, as part of some grief issues I had at the time.  I felt really blocked about EFT and just didn’t want to have to do it.

I knew that it would help me, so I took the dive and simply put my feelings into the set-up statement, which went as follows.

“Even though I rally don’t want to do this tapping, I accept myself anyway”

“Even though I don’t want to do this tapping, why should I?, I love and accept myself.

“Even though I don’t want to tap on myself, I’ve had enough of it, I love and accept myself”

This proved to be very effective, cleared my anger very quickly, and moved swiftly into the next feeling which was a huge outpouring of tears and sadness, which I tapped on.  It was a pivotal time for me and my anger loosened its grip, and life became lighter and happier and I could enjoy my Christmas.

This experience shows that often when the going gets tough, it is often followed by huge healing.  It is hard to break through sometimes, but just remember what is on the other side…….

Love  Fiona.

EFT doesn’t work for me!

I have just encountered a person who told me that EFT doesn’t work for them. Julia has suffered from a serious immune disorder in the past, is now a lot better but still suffers set-backs.

After a few moments of chatting to her, it became clear that Julia had learnt EFT from a friend in minutes- she knew the basics. She was also trying to deal with some pretty big issues on her own with EFT.

This brings up interesting points. EFT DOES WORK FOR MOST PEOPLE! Sometimes we need someone to be to be there with us if we are dealing with big or complex or traumatic events.

Also, the basics of EFT can be taught very quickly, or self-taught, but it is always more effective if we learn how to do it well, as with anything. Gary Craig’s excellent website www.emofree.co.uk has a wealth of information for anyone using EFT.

Some Helpful Tips for EFT Self-Help

Be as specific as possible. Pin-point the moment, the feeling, narrow it down.

Look at the core issues. Has this issue repeated in your life? What is your earliest memory of it? Use this memory to work on- it will be more powerful.

If an issue isn’t clearing, it may be that there is some psychological reversal. There may be a reason that someone is holding onto old feelings. For example, someone may want to carry on being angry at the person they feel has treated them unjustly because they want that person to ‘pay’ for what they have down.

If working on ourselves, it may be necessary to ask ourselves if it really benefits us to hold onto these feelings. It can be very hard to help ourselves in this scenario and it may be easier to have a trained EFT Practitioner to help.

If feelings aren’t clearing. it may help to drink some water, move yourself physically to a different place, take a shower, or find that EFT Practitioner.

People are different too; some people find it easy to use EFT on themselves and others find it a little more difficult. It depends on the person and it depends on the issue.

I hope you’ve found this useful

That’s all for now,

Fiona.
