Success & Abundance: Just an Allergy?
People are becoming sensitive to almost anything these days. Allergies and sensitivities are at a record high from peanuts to carrots and from petrochemicals to water. It seems there is nothing someone somewhere will not react to. And this includes money.
One of the most popular ways to test for a sensitivity is through muscle testing. If you know how to muscle test yourself, or better still you can find a friend to do it for you, test yourself for money. You may find you are strong on £5.00 yet weak on £500.00, or strong on cash but weak with a credit card. (If you do not have the physical cash there just right the numbers on paper and use it with intent.) If you find you are weak then you can treat yourself using EFT. I have never found this to be enough in itself to clear all money issues but can be an important part of the process. An example might be:
'Even though I am weak and sensitive to large amounts of money I accept myself fully and choose to be in harmony with it'
Why people become sensitive to something in the first place is not fully understood. However it is my belief that the confusion occurs due to some emotion becoming wrongly associated to a particular substance or thing. This can happen when the body is exposed to (or metabolizing) something while simultaneously becoming emotionally charged. Either a severe trauma or lesser multiple events can lead to this misguided connection. (This is my theory on why so many people have problems with wheat, dairy and sugar. How often are people eating these substances while watching the news or reading the paper with it's negative emotional impact.)
Think back over your past and see if your financial situation or success took a downturn at any point in time and what happened on an emotional level at this time. Clear these emotions and associations in the usual way with EFT and then re-test yourself to see if you are still weak. If so keep repeating the process until a strong test is achieved.
Don't forget to keep up with the exercises given in previous newsletters. If you missed these or wish to review them then visit the archives.

Questions & Answers
This section is devoted to your questions. I will do my best to answer them or find an answer to them. If you can expand on a reply to any question posted here please send it to me and I will print it with full acknowledgement.
Q) How can I improve my success rate?
A) EFT has one of the highest success rates of any therapy. As an EFT practitioner, (professional or 'hobbyist'), we are always keen to maximize this already high rate. There are many things we can do to achieve this.
First as Gary keeps saying 'get yourself out of the way'. This means leaving expectation behind while holding intent. Remember the client is the one who does the true healing, it is their journey and they need to make their own choices whether consciously or subconsciously. By getting out of the way and not becoming attached to results you help avoid taking on the clients problems and so becoming drained.
Trust your intuition. Once you are 'out of the way' then your intuition becomes much 'louder'. Don't ignore this or it is likely to give up shouting and go quiet, (nobody likes being ignored). By saying what comes into your mind profound realizations for both yourself and the client are often experienced.
Practice EFT on yourself daily. By removing your own issues and gaining insights into your own life will build your confidence with EFT. Both you and your clients can only benefit from this.
Never stop learning. Keep up-to-date with the latest changes in the world of energy psychology via the many newsletters and forums on the subject. Read at least a book a month on the subject, much will be repeated helping reinforce what you already know but there is always something new to be gained from every one. Watch Gary's DVD seminars, especially the specialist series 1+2. For any professional therapist these should be a must. They are very well priced and available from www.emofree.com

Hints & Tips
This months tip is to use the clients language to create both rapport and successful setup phrases. Also encourage them to use words they really want to use. Some people feel uncomfortable about using 'offensive' language in front of a therapist. If someone thinks that the person who stole from them is a "fucking bastard" then that is what they should say, with all the emotion and conviction that goes with it.
You need to be comfortable encouraging and repeating this to them and so if you have an issues around this I advise you tap on it. By being completely comfortable with using the clients language better rapport it gained allowing them to relax, trust you more and achieve better results.
