If you are in a time of transition in your life and you feel stuck, resistant or fearful when you try to move forward on your path, here is an opportunity for change. Using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), Bach Flower Remedies and guided visualization, Fraeda and Ker will help you free yourself from the old trauma, past life issues, indecision, anxiety and just plain nervousness that keep you from living your inspiration and telling other people about it.
This workshop is designed as an intensive, to bring deep and lasting change to your life. If you are ready to work deeply and release your old, limiting beliefs and obstacles, this is for you. If you aren’t ready, maybe you can come next time. This workshop is for those who are starting their own business, a new career, going back to school, or who are or want to make a significant change in their life.
Note: Space is limited, due to the intimate nature of the work.

3. EFT Success: A dark cloud left my body

"I’m a male in my 60’s. A few years ago I got Gary Craig’s EFT DVD’s. I watched them, was impressed, and had some success on my own. EFT seemed so simple that I wondered why anyone needed sessions with a practitioner.

In the first session Fraeda skillfully took what I was saying about my problems and led me through a few rounds of tapping. I was amazed at much more effective this was than my less skilled efforts had been.

One of my earliest memories was as a 2 years old, planning to run away from home because of the dangers. My plan failed and I grew up as the outsider in a family of three children... My mother favored my two sisters and I definitely felt she didn’t want to have me, a son. This blatant and extreme prejudice continued into adulthood. I never felt I had a mother.

Fraeda helped me see that this was a family pattern and didn't really have anything to do with who I Really Am. That as a child I was in a no-win situation. Then as an adult I had continued this old family pattern.

After a few rounds of tapping I felt some relief. Then Fraeda led me through another round and the phrase, “I’m caught in this family pattern and it’s not fair.” At that moment a dark cloud came out of my chest and floated across the room.

I haven’t been the same since then. A lot of feelings are dropping away, such as anger, sadness, and helplessness. I feel less trapped. My pattern has been with me all my life. Currently I feel like I’m in a transition from what I’ve been for over 60 years and what I can become..."

4. Tapping Tip: What words do I use

When doing EFT many people get stuck just getting started. Often people say, "I don't know what words to use." There are 2 points I want to make here. Firstly, there are no magic words. Any words that describe your experience accurately to you are the right words. Secondly, the feeling of being stuck or afraid of doing it wrong or the feeling of confusion themselves are tapable issues. Meaning if you sit down and don't know what to tap on or what words to use start with the setup phrase, "Even though I don't know what to tap on and I am afraid of doing it wrong I deeply and completely accept myself." OR "Even though I am confused and overwhelmed with trying to figure out what to tap on I deeply and completely accept myself."
Generally after doing some of this some specifics will come up. Start tapping on those and see where it leads. If you keep being present and asking yourself, "How do I feel and what is coming up now?" and then tap on what comes up at this moment you will often get somewhere. You of course need to take complete responsibility for your own well-being when doing EFT alone. Know that you could tap into something very heavy that may be underneath something that feels like a small issue when you start. Generally if you just keep tapping you will be able to bring yourself down. Use common sense and don't go where it is too much for you. Happy Tapping...
