Success & Abundance: Giving
Giving is hardly a new concept in terms of abundance. Many religions have suggested 'tithing' or giving about 10% of what you earn to church or charity. There are many concepts and quotes based around the idea that what we give out is what we get back. The question is what do you give out?
Many people say they are happy to give money once they have it, but the real truth is we need to give first to receive. By giving what you most need, shows true compassion and understanding of the laws of life. If we don't give because we are thinking that we need the money for something else, then this is a symbol of our distrust in universal abundance. If we really knew, not just thought we understood, then there would be no worry or hesitation in giving. Without necessarily knowing where from we would know and trust that everything we need will come to us when it is needed.
We can use EFT to help clear some of these issues helping us give more freely, and most importantly without expectation of anything in return. If we give with expectation you will only be given to with expectation. Unconditional giving results in unconditional gifts. Here are some setup phrases to get you started:
'Even though I think I must have enough for myself first before giving I completely accept myself and choose to give freely'
' Even though I always expect something in return when I give something I forgive and accept myself choosing to unconditionally give with ease'
'Even though I doubt the abundance of the universe I love and accept myself and choose to know and trust completely in the limitless flow of abundance'
'Even though regular giving has not been a part of my life I forgive and respect myself choosing to give easily and often with love and compassion'
Now don't just read this and understand this and then do nothing. As with all aspects of this course action is required. Knowledge without action is worthless. Give something today no matter how small and build from there.

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) Does it make a difference if I tap for myself or if someone does it on me? And from the practitioner perspective, is it better if my client follows me and taps on them self?
A) This depends on the situation. Personally I prefer to get the client to follow me and tap for themselves. This has the advantage that they feel more confident to go home and do it for them self. It also means I am tapping for the client too and so giving a surrogate treatment at the same time. Another advantage is I'm clearing my own issues at the same time as well as ensuring I don't pick up any of the client's issues.
Sometimes a client may become overly emotional. In these situations they may find it hard or impossible to tap for them self. In these situations I will tap many of the less non-invasive points for them, often using the additional wrist points, until they are calm again. Then they can take over for them self. Some therapists, mostly those trained in hypnotherapy or psychotherapy have an issue over touching the client. As a physical therapist this does not bother me at all. However if you feel uncomfortable touching others then instead of avoiding it I suggest you tap on it. Just don't touch someone else while feeling unconfident or they will pick up on this.
On occasion someone will find it better to be free to focus on the issue and so having someone tap for them is preferable to they can just shut their eyes and have the process 'happen' for them. For others I'm sure the success rate is improved by the fact that 'someone else' is 'doing' it' for them. This in itself can bring issues that could be worked on. Perhaps they don't have the self confidence, or too much emphasis is placed on the 'skill' of the therapist.
In short there is no real reason it should make any difference but in some circumstances it does. Use what works best for you and be flexible.

Hints & Tips
This months tip is to have confidence in what you are doing. I have noticed that when people are unsure of what they are doing, or don't have faith in the process, their words are weak. The setup phrases and reminder phrases lack conviction, strength and energy. If anything words should be exaggerated and given power as though you mean them, even the negative phrases of owning a problem.
Practitioners in particular need conviction in what they are doing and should portray this confidence to the client. Not that faith is needed in EFT, though this will always improve success rates of any therapy, but to gain the clients trust. If you have any lack of confidence in using EFT with a client you should tap on this and clear any doubts, and bodily discomfort, before trying.
