Every day is an opportunity to be creative - the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture is a work of art called, 'my life'. Be careful what you put on the canvas of your mind today - it matters. www.relax7.com

Whatever happened to May? Well, it came and went in haste it seems. It was a funny old month in lots of ways with highs and lows, happy events, and sadness occurring for some very special people that I know. A newsletter didn’t materialise which just goes to show that even with the best will in the world we have to prioritise and allow even what are considered to be the important things, to take a back seat – and you know what? Nothing earth shattering happens in the way we may have expected because we withdrew for a moment. Life doesn’t stop, no one complains, people are supportive and kind, or that’s my experience at least. So when events feel somewhat overwhelming, when we are confronted with sadness and weariness, our own, or someone else’s, perhaps it would be good to take a moment, or two, or more if possible, to offer a little nurturing to ourselves, so that we may acknowledge our own part in the greater scheme of things, to see the bigger picture in order to be most effective, whatever that entails.

On a brighter note, it is a pleasure to share the good news that we have our first Certificated Energy Cone Practitioners in the UK and in Southern Ireland, that we have found THE place for our forthcoming “YOU” event early in 2008, and that the UK Energy Cone Practitioner Training has been rescheduled for July. In addition, it is my privilege to have been invited by Karen Tinker of Phoenix Aid to teach the ECT and possibly TAT to therapists working with war veterans, children in orphanages and the general public in Sarejevo at the end of August. EFT has been taught previously, and Silvia Hartmann and Steve Collins are in Bosnia at the moment training EmoTrance. By working in this way, teaching and training, as well as the odd days of treatments, these powerfully effective and life changing techniques will be available to help make a difference.

And finally, we are offering two sets of Inner Solutions Daily Inspirational Cards to the lucky winners of our prize draw. To enter just complete our short questionnaire on Meridian Energy Therapies at the end of this newsletter. Names will be drawn at random and prizes will be allocated on Friday 27th July.

Until next month

So, if you are interested in joining the growing number of qualified practitioners in this amazing technique, described by some as “the missing link”, please contact me on innersolutions@hotmail.com or call 01909 472097

PPS - I've found a wonderful expansion of understanding of my own process and life path since experiencing the EmoTrance and the ECT weekends. I can feel my consciousness expanding out from my body sometimes and have more insight and access my intuition more easily. I've also used ECT on 5 little red lumps on my left palm which were quite raised and have been there for as long as I can remember - they are now almost gone and their colour is nearly the same as the rest of my palm - very interesting!

FIRST ECT PRACTITIONERS

Congratulations to The first qualifying Energy Cone Practitioners in the World. Linda McCroft, from Norfolk and Joy Salem from Hertfordshire are the first UK Practitioners, along with Anne Nolan, Cliona Farrell, Helen Ryle, James Jameson, John Murphy, and Nuala O’Rourke from Southern Ireland. Visit our Find A Practitioner page: http://www.innersolutions-uk.com/practitioners.aspx for individual information. Look for more names in other areas as other therapists complete.

It is encouraging to witness a growing interest and awareness of Energy Psychology recently, with EFT very much in evidence. The Nottingham Evening Post featured a full page positive review last week and the International Therapist magazine dedicated a double spread in May.

Freeing Energy – How emotional Freedom Technique can produce amazing results

With its roots in applied kinesiology and thought field therapy, emotional freedom technique (EFT) is one of several ‘meridian energy therapies’ that work with the subtle energies circulating within the body.

ET and Reiki in the Lake District

I really do not know where to start, the experience was so amazing. We stayed in a stone cottage on the hillside at the end of Ullswater which had the most amazing views of a valley dotted with sheep and their lambs. The other ladies taking the EmoTrance course were a pleasure to work with and Sally Canning's way of teaching was a delight, the way the courses were presented was most enjoyable and interesting. I have come away with so much knowledge and confidence in myself - the whole week was a life changing experience.
Love and Light

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME!! Denise Quail. EFT~Solutions.

I have, over the past few weeks, been privileged to work with one of the most interesting and challenging client groups I have so far come across in my EFT/NLP/Coaching career.

Working with people on Job Seekers allowance who attend a service provider for various skills training. These trainings are compulsory and if not attended, then they lose part or all of their benefits.

They are provided with skills to help them with communication, C.V. writing, basic skills etc. Some of these people have had jobs in the past and some have never had a job. (some don't even want one, and come from families where the parent/s never worked). I was asked to offer counselling type skills to help with any emotional barriers to employment, such as confidence and self esteem issues. This is on a non-compulsory basis and does not affect their benefit entitlement, it is an extra service provided and paid for by a very go ahead and enlightened management.

The younger 18-25 year age group are generally streetwise kids, full of bravado and swagger, base ball caps pulled over their faces, mainly boys.

Most of this group appear not to have ever been employed and are usually in the unskilled labour category. Leaving school with no qualifications or being excluded completely.

So, armed with my tapping teddy, (you would be very surprised at who likes to use that little monkey!) I decided to introduce today's finest to EFT!

I have been amazed at their response so far. Firstly that these young people, who are very far removed from any sort of alternative health practises would even have a go at something as weird as tapping and talking about feelings, and secondly, amazed at the results that we are getting.

Anger is a very common feeling expressed. Some of the young men have criminal records related to their rages erupting in violence: D.B. 23 years old, has a court appearance pending, possibly resulting in prison again, for violence. We worked on his anger feelings, uncovered various aspects relating to the rejection of him by his father who left when he was two. Initially, no eye contact was made, cap firmly clamped to his head, one word answers, until we hit the aspects relating to his fear of loving people because they would leave him. He had no idea that was why he had found it hard to have relationships or trust anybody, he had spent his life acting as if everyone was out to hurt him. He couldn't get a job as he was verbally abusive in interviews because he felt intimidated and threatened by everyone, especially when he was nervous.

In thirty minutes, he went from surly to sweet, and I am hopefully going to be allowed to work with him alongside his care worker in prison.

He left with his head high, cap literally in hand, big smile, resolute about his changed future.

S.W. came shuffling in, no swagger with this one, cap firmly on head, sat sideways to me. No eye contact, blushing with every sentence he mumbled.

At school, bullied for being left by his Mum, dyslexic, firmly believing himself to be " thick, slow, stupid." Very low confidence and self esteem, unwilling to speak above a whisper.

We had great fun, he thought I was taking the micky out of him (not quite how he put it!) when I showed him "this silly tapping thing"! You do not want to know what he said to the 9 gamut!!

However, he managed to tap along for a couple of rounds before refusing to do any more.

We worked, or rather I did as he sat and squirmed, for about thirty minutes, then he went back into his group. Later, his tutor asked me what I had done to him: he was asking questions in the group, giving her some eye contact and even cracked a joke in class. The following week he came again, tapped for the whole session, said even his Dad and best mate had noticed the change in his level of eye contact, confidence and talkativeness. That was after only one session.

This has been a major learning curve for me and it continues to be so.

Have confidence in your EFT.
Be congruent in your EFT.
See the fun in your EFT.
