How to Think Like a Wealth Producer

The average Nicaraguan is born in a shack with a dirt floor. He earns less than $15 a week.

E, my gardener in Nicaragua, and Y, my housekeeper, do considerably better than that. But they are still, by U.S. standards, poor. Since I am in daily contact with E and Y when I’m here, I often think about how I can help them earn more money. They want more material goods in their lives (and who could blame them, when they see how we gringos live in person and on television).

E and Y have so little — $500 would give them a house for life — and I’d like nothing better than to wow them with a life-changing bonus. But I know from experience that giving them money will do nothing good. It will go as quickly as it came.

Given money always does. Worse, it will reinforce the very bad idea that money comes from me to them, instead of from their own labor and ingenuity.

I hope this doesn’t sound like the rationalization of a cheap man.

I did give Y the money for her house. But I made it a loan and had her repay it, because I wanted her to understand that money is real and represents something of value (hard work, enterprise, etc.). Also, I wanted to give her the chance to feel that the house was hers.

But for every dollar I’ve given Y, E has hit me up for a dollar too. E is not building a house with his money. He’s taking care of all sorts of "emergencies" that keep coming up. Because I don’t want to cause trouble between Y and E, I’ve been giving him his matching loans even though I know it’s not good for him.

What I try to do is lend E and Y money when it seems they really need it and figure out ways to let them earn more by doing other things. E is learning to fix things around the house and to paint. Y is learning to cook.

These skills will definitely help. But there’s an obstacle they face that is greater than their poverty or their lack of knowledge. It’s the idea they have about what the world owes them.

Y and E went to grammar school (the only school they had) during the Sandinista years. The Sandinistas, to remind you, were Communists — and, as a result, Y and E were taught two very dumb ideas about wealth:

Everyone is entitled to an equal share of it. ("To each according to his needs.")
Those who have more of it than average should give it up. ("From each according to his means.")
These ideas move very quickly into thoughts like these:
"It is the responsibility of my government to take care of me."
"It is the responsibility of my boss and the business I work for to make me secure and financially successful."

And I can sometimes see — or think I see –thoughts like these flickering around in the back of E’s mind.

For E, and maybe for Y too, the path to wealth is his boss, who has the money that E wants. He doesn’t want to have money like me. He wants to have my money. He sees money as a sort of static thing — that there is just so much of it in the world and that the only way to get some for himself is to take it from someone else. Since I’m the only wealthy guy he knows, it makes perfect sense to him that his strategy for growing rich should be based on "101 ways to talk my boss into giving me money."

Wrongheaded ideas about entitlement and static wealth are not by any means unique to Communist countries. They exist in every country of the world. In the United States, the country I know best, they are widespread — and probably growing.

In the U.S., they manifest themselves in all sorts of speciously good-hearted notions, such as:

Businesspeople are basically greedy and unethical.
Professors, artists, and writers are not.
There should be a limit to how much a CEO makes.
The more government regulates business, the better it is for the people.

I could go on, but I will not.

I’d rather get back to the main and essential point: The way you think about wealth is highly likely to affect your behavior in regard to it.

For example:

If you think you are entitled to be taken care of by the government, it is probable that you will spend some time and effort applying for government handouts.
If you think that all the profits of a company should be distributed to its workers, you’ll never be happy with what you earn.
If you think that no one is entitled to have more money than you, you’ll spend your time getting friends and acquaintances to give you some of theirs.

None of that will make you wealthy. In fact, it will make it harder for you to acquire wealth. Every minute you spend thinking about or asking for money you didn’t earn is a minute wasted and a bad habit reinforced.

Becoming wealthy is not difficult if you are willing to work for it. Anyone who does the simple things I recommend in ETR can and will become wealthy. The trick is to overcome inertia — to get yourself going. In other words, action.

Action is the key, but action won’t happen until you decide that you yourself — and no one else — are responsible for your success. Get off to a good start today by retelling yourself the following truths:

"My parents owe me nothing."
"My children owe me nothing."
"My friends owe me nothing."
"The world owes me nothing."

Communication is a Key Part of Leadership

2007-01-25T14:06:00.000-05:00

Good leaders, whatever their profession, know how to communicate in stressful times. They anticipate people's concerns, listen to their fears and invite questions. They are optimistic and empathetic. They share their plans. They warn what may lie ahead, good or bad. They know when somebody needs a cold truth -- or a warm blanket.

And they repeat their messages. In times of high emotion, people don't hear well. Or they forget, just as I temporarily lost track of where I was supposed to go for that darn biopsy. Until I remembered they had written it down for me days ago, on my first visit, and I had it in my file folder.

EFT-Simple effective method for releasing fears

2007-01-16T17:40:00.000-05:00

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was originally designed to reduce the psychotherapy process from months and years down to minutes and hours. From there it was discovered that astonishing physical healings also occurred. Symptoms faded for everything from Migraine Headaches to Cancer. Complete details are given on the EFT website . It often works where nothing else will.

Discover the Purpose of your life now

2007-01-11T11:01:00.000-05:00

So how to discover your purpose in life? While there are many ways to do this, some of them fairly involved, here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process, and the more you expect it to work, the faster it will work for you. But not being open to it or having doubts about it or thinking it’s an entirely idiotic and meaningless waste of time won’t prevent it from working as long as you stick with it — again, it will just take longer to converge.
Push the Boundaries of Intuition with Hypnosis

Here’s what to do:

1. Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type (I prefer the latter because it’s faster).
2. Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
3. Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
4. Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.

The Gift of Fear

2007-01-11T06:11:00.000-05:00

Today I write about one of the most important books I know about intuition-
The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I highly recommend this book, published a few years ago but very relevant today.It is written by a world class expert on predicting violent behavior. If you follow de Becker's advice you will live more fully, courageously and realistically.
Push the Boundaries of Intuition with Hypnosis

This post is prompted because two of my friends, Radha Singh (Wisdom From the Heart)and Haimdat Sawh whom I recently talked to about this book thanked me for guiding them to it.Their enthusiastic responses reminded me how important this book is to all of us.

Gavin de Becker says victims of violent behavior usually feel a sense of fear before any threat or violence takes place. They have a choice.Distrust the fear, or use it to force them to action that can save them. The author argues that we can all learn to recognize these signals of the "universal code of violence," and use them as tools to help us survive. In the book readers are taught how to identify the warning signals of a potential attacker and recommends strategies for dealing with the problem before it becomes life threatening. The book has many actual case studies which are gripping and suspenseful.De Becker uses these to suggest tactics for dealing with similar situations.

Learning to predict violence is essential to preventing it. If we understand the psychology of violence,we may be able to prevent more violent crime.

We all have a great gift of intuition,The Gift of Fear shows us how to use it effectively.

Nicole Richie booked on DUI charges

2006-12-12T09:49:00.000-05:00

After reading this account below I wished Nicole had tried EFT to deal with her eating and weight loss issues.

After being spotted driving in the wrong direction on the 134 Freeway in Burbank, California, Hollywood celebrity Nicole Richie was arrested on DUI charges last Monday. She was later booked at the California Highway Patrol's Glendale-Verdugo Hills Station on the single misdemeanor charge. "
Sunless Tanning

The star of the hit reality television show “The Simple Life” was then taken to Glendale City Jail. She was released 2 hours and 25 minutes later after posting a $15,000 bail.

Residents, who saw Richie’s 2005 black Mercedes Benz speeding on the wrong way, called 911 to report the incident. When the CHP officers arrived, the star had already stopped in the carpool lane and her vehicle was observed to be facing the right direction.

Breathalyzer test revealed that the star was not drunk. When questioned, Richie admitted that she had smoked marijuana and taken the painkiller Vicodin.

This was not the first time that the 25-year-old star was arrested. In February 2003, Richie was arrested in Malibu for possession of heroin and for driving with a suspended license. She was sentenced to spend time in rehabilitation.

The charges were later dropped when she completed the terms of her probation. Still, there are no reports whether Monday’s DUI arrest violated terms of her previous probation.

She is due to appear in the municipal court in Glendale on Tuesday and will be represented by Howard Weitzman, a popular celebrity lawyer.

“It is what it is,” a representative told E! News, but would not confirm whether the star had admitted to smoking marijuana.

Richie has been in the headlines for most of the year due to rumors of an eating disorder. Last October, she checked herself voluntarily in a treatment center to find out the reason behind her “continued weight loss”, her publicist stated.

Changing Difficult Relationships From The Inside

2006-12-11T07:13:00.000-05:00

For years I have followed the advice of Stuart Wilde (The Little Money Bible ) and sent light and love to difficult people in my life. This technique is simple and has worked wonderfully well for me. I pass it on to my readers in the hope that it ill make life easier for them.

I quote Stuart from the Little Money Bible,"As well as moving forward towards your goals physically,through action,simultaneously clear a path on the inner level by blowing light and love ahead of you.For example,if there is a person in your way,your (female) boss,for example,start every morning by sitting quietly and seeing her in your mind's eye. Bring her up close to you so that you are almost eyeball to eyeball; then breathe a long breath in,and expel that breath out into her heart. No matter how antagonistic you may feel,send her Light and love,and do that ceremoniously 11 times. She will change. You will see."

All You Need Is Love

2006-12-04T12:36:00.000-05:00

Dr. Dean Ornish who is famous for his near vegetarian diet which has helped many open open their blocked arteries without drugs or surgery has found that loneliness is more toxic than a cheeseburger

“Love and intimacy are at the root of what makes us sick and what makes us well,” Ornish says.

“I am not aware of any other factor in medicine—not diet, not smoking, not exercise—that has a greater impact.”

How intense and sincere your relationship is seems to be the critical factor in deciding how healthy we are. It appears that the harmfulness of the cheeseburger you eat is lessened if you are a caring person who eats it in the company of someone you love.

Clinical studies have shown that isolation is harmful to your health. Here are some interesting results from those studies.

Unmarried heart patients were 3 times more likely to die within 5 years.
Heart patients who felt the least loved had 50% more arterial damage than those who felt the most loved.
Women who felt isolated were 3 ½ times as likely to die of breast, ovarian or uterine cancer over a 17-year period.

Dr.Ornish’s research corroborates what has been termed the ‘Roseta Effect’. Until 1965, the people who lived in the small town of Roseta, Pennsylvania, appeared impervious to heart disease. Residents in the nearby town of Bangor, smoked as much and ate similar food. The most striking difference between the two communities was Roseta’s highly bonded social life. Roseta was a community of mostly third-generation Italian immigrants,who had strong links to family and friends.

Surrogate EFT for Healing

2006-12-01T18:25:00.000-05:00

This year I have been experimenting with surrogate EFT for healing. My 86 year old mother became seriously ill and out family feared she had reached the point of exiting this life.

None of my family, including her, believed in energy healing so in that tense atmosphere where fears and doubts predominated I often retired to a quiet place and systematically did EFT on my mother's fears and other family member's fears and doubts.

I have had absolutely remarkable success. My mom has become healthy and happier. Other family memmbers have progressively become calmer and more co -operative with each other.

Later I will detail some of the affirmations I used and also illustrate how I gained access to other fears and doubts bylisteningclosely to statement and negative predictions which were repeated.

Drug-free Procedure Controls and Reverses Diabetes

2006-12-01T17:34:00.001-05:00

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- A diabetes epidemic is overtaking the

United States

and the rest of the world. In less than 20 years, governments and
social security systems may go broke paying expenses generated by this
preventable illness. Diabetes cases are expected to double before the year
2025, and their health care costs will increase from $163 billion per year to
$396 billion or more.

But while hospitals and public health services gear up for what they describe as an inevitable catastrophe, a smallbut growing number of diabetes patients are learning how to lose weight,balance their blood sugar, reduce their bodies’ need for insulin, and heal complications such as leg ulcers and insufficient circulation in the toes and feet. They are doing this not by going on rigorous diets or exercise programs but rather by tapping with their fingertips on key acupuncture points while focusing on symptoms or emotional issues.

“EFT is bioenergetic medicine,” explains best-selling health author Joseph Mercola, D.O. “It’s based on the same energymeridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the invasiveness of needles.

This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmations works to clear the ‘short-circuits’ – the emotional blocks – fromthe body's bioenergy system, thus restoring the balance that is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease. More than any traditional oralternative method I have used or researched, EFT works.”

Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD, agrees. "Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85 percent of all illnesses, including diabetes,” he says. “Whenthey do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools, as it already is for me."

In one of many reports posted at the EFT website, Michael, a 59-year-old obese male, suffered from advanced type 2 diabetes, leg ulcers, and leg and back pain. After he learned EFT, which takes just a few minutes, his insulin requirement dropped from three injections perday to one per week, his blood sugar level dropped from 400 to 109, his leg ulcers began to heal, the blood pressure and circulation in his feet increased,his leg and back pain disappeared, and his energy level increased dramatically.

“Michael’s results may sound unusual,” says Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, “but in fact, his results are what EFT practitioners have come to expect. As soon as you removeenergy blocks, the body often repairs itself without the use of prescription drugs or anything else. EFT is truly a universal healing tool and many physicians are adopting it.”

Over 225,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.

A new do-it-yourself approach to acupressure alleviates stress , neutralizes cold, flu symptoms

2006-11-29T18:13:00.001-05:00

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- There may be no cure for the common cold but a new discovery promises drug-free relief from nasal congestion, scratchy, sore throat, runny nose and sneezing. Americans suffer an estimated one billion colds each year and miss 150 million work days annually. Most people rely on over-the-counter medication to relieve symptoms temporarily. But a technique that balances the body’s acupuncture meridian system provides relief from cold and flu symptoms by diminishing the effects of stress on the immune system.

Stanford trained engineer, Gary Craig originally developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to improve and shorten the psychotherapy process. EFT users soon reported a decrease in stress levels and an increase in overall well-being. They reported having fewer colds and allergies after treating stress conditions with EFT.

Craig explains, “as we received these kind of reports, we began targeting physical symptoms with EFT and the results were astounding. People quickly relieved symptoms like sore throats, coughs, nasal congestion. EFT even worked on chronic pain associated with migraines, arthritis and fibromyalgia.”

A study published in Psychosomatic Medicine reports that people experiencing negative emotions are more likely to become ill when exposed to a cold virus than people who generally experience positive emotions. Other studies link psychological stress to a compromised immune system, increasing susceptibility to cold viruses. Says Craig, “EFT effectively neutralizes the stress and unresolved emotional issues that are compromising the immune systems of Americans.”

Dr. Joseph Mercola, best-selling author and owner of the number one natural health website advocates, “if you are stressed please consider EFT, which is an amazingly effective tool to address the foundational and core reasons as to how the stress is impairing your immune system. I have been particularly impressed with its ability to improve the body's immune response to infection immediately.”

Dr. Mercola taught EFT to a 9 year old patient who had been on antibiotics for a week for a raging sinus infection that wasn’t improving. Mercola says, “I taught her EFT and treated her in less than five minutes and 100% of her symptoms were gone. This work is absolutely amazing. I have also used EFT on colds and coughs in about six other people, including staff members with equally rapid and instant relief.”

EFT balances the acupuncture meridian system by combining gentle fingertip tapping on key points while focusing on physical or emotional issues. According to Craig, “it is used by people all over the world as an effective stress management tool. Now science is showing real evidence that negative emotions and stress compromise health. EFT is providing Americans with a means to become happier and healthier and to this end I have chosen to provide the EFT Manual free from the EFT website.”

Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.

Using EFT for Money, Abundance & Success

2006-11-28T17:36:00.000-05:00

Dr. Carol Look provides us with a remarkable foundational article on using EFT to help create financial abundance in our lives. It is rich in concepts and specific language to use.

By Dr. Carol Look, Cht

I have read more than 20 books on the subject of attracting
abundance, trying to figure out the trick to having (“manifesting”)
more of what I want in my life. What I learned was that money is just
another form of energy, and that there is a particular VIBRATION
associated with abundance. While I understood the concepts, nothing
ever changed when I “applied” what I had learned. It was not until I
combined the book knowledge with EFT and the energy of love and gratitude that I was able to change my limiting beliefs, expand my comfort zones, neutralize my deserving issues , direct my feelings and expand my prosperity consciousness---all of which had been driving the results in my life. Using EFT, I was able to change my VIBRATION in my daily life around money, worry, and the future, which in turn opened the door for success and abundance.

Over the past few years, I have conducted seminars and some
teleclass series covering the topic “EFT for Success and Abundance.”
The blocks and themes keep recurring, as do the progress reports of
people that persistently use tapping for abundance in their lives.
Below are some of the themes that need to be addressed.

COMFORT ZONES: When I first started using EFT for
success in my own life, I didn’t “believe” in comfort zones---what Gary
refers to as ceilings on your progress based on the “writing on your
walls.” When I noticed my income for two years running was exactly the same, I realized this was evidence of a comfort zone operating in my financial life.

This may not seem strange unless you are a private practitioner in
the mental health field. There are so many variables---holidays that
fall on different days of the week, my own vacation time, clients’
vacation time, illness, referrals, the economic situation etc--- that
it is virtually impossible to predict your annual income. Two years in
a row, despite all these variables, I made the exact (within $1000)
same income working as a full time private practitioner. Once I used
EFT to break through these comfort zones (after some resistance of
course) my income shot up over 20% the next year. I had not raised my
fee, had not done any advertising, and the country’s economic situation
had in fact worsened. I used phrases such as:

“Even though I don’t dare raise my income, I deeply and completely accept myself…

“Even though I obviously have a block to earning more than $ XXX, I deeply and completely love and accept this conflict.”

“Even though I have trouble seeing myself earning more than $ XXX, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I don’t feel safe making more than $ XXX because
they’ll be jealous, I deeply and completely accept and love who I am.”

LIMITING BELIEFS: Dozens of clients in my abundance
classes have told me that they had siblings who were seen as either
“slow learners” or having some form of “difficulty” in school. Some of
these siblings turned out to be brilliant while some are still
struggling to this day. The point is that my clients learned from their
families “I’m not supposed to shine” and that if they did shine,
they were taking attention away from their struggling sibling. It
didn’t seem to matter if the sibling was older, younger, the same sex
or not. What mattered was that the parents compared the two, and
scolded the “fast learner” for looking good, or “showing off.” The
message was “don’t succeed or you’ll hurt someone else.”

“Even though I’m not supposed to shine because it will hurt my sister, I deeply and completely accept my brilliance.”

“Even though I will lose their approval if I do well, I deeply and completely accept my talents.”

“Even though it’s not safe to succeed, I choose to feel safe when I am doing what I love.”

“Even though they don’t feel comfortable when I succeed, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I’ll never forget his scolding me when I succeeded, I deeply and completely forgive myself be being so fast.”

“Even though I’m afraid I’ll be rejected if I succeed…”

Other common limiting beliefs that block financial wealth are
prejudices against wealthy people. “Fran” told me she thought rich
people were “shallow and mean.” Apparently her mother had taught her
this concept, based on feelings of jealousy and a scarring incident
with a neighbor when growing up. Fran adopted this belief, but was
unaware that she could therefore never BE rich, (one of THOSE PEOPLE)
for if she became one, she would not only be seen as shallow and mean
(her assumption), more importantly, she would risk the deep disapproval
of her mother (her deepest fear). These prejudices about wealthy people
come in all shapes and sizes. They must be uncovered and treated with
EFT if you want to improve your financial situation.

“Even though I’m convinced ALL rich people are mean and shallow…”

“Even though she’ll judge me if I make more money…”

“Even though I’m afraid to be successful because my mother will reject me…”

“Even though I’ll be envied too much if I’m rich…”

DESERVING ISSUES: I have many individual clients
who feel guilty when they have desires to do well financially. When I
asked “Jeff” why, he said that he already “had it good” because his
father worked hard to educate him and he was a superb athlete… “why should I take more away from other people?” (1) The belief that his success would hurt someone else is a mistake. (2) The belief that there is a limited supply
of abundance is also, in my opinion, off base. (3) As long as he thinks
he has had “his share” he will sabotage progress or inadvertently
reject opportunities. Jeff didn’t feel deserving of financial success,
and was finally able to see a pattern of rejecting terrific
opportunities for advancement in his job. He realized he was working
hard to tread water, just making ends meet, much like friends of his
who struggled with comfort zone issues in sports.

“Even though I don’t deserve any more, I’ve had enough, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though my mother said we were lucky to have what we had, I deeply…

“Even though I don’t want to be selfish and take more than my share, I accept and love myself for having desires.”

“Even though my father scolded me for wanting more, I deeply and completely…”

PROSPERITY CONSCIOUSNESS: Whether you believe you
don’t have enough time, money, love or success, the consciousness
behind your belief will block you from receiving financial abundance.
Your level of belief exudes a particular vibration. In
energetic terms, the theory states that your consciousness about
abundance has a certain capacity; you will receive exactly what your
consciousness is capable of handling. The good news is that your
consciousness can be expanded to believe there is enough to go around.

“Even though there was never enough money when I was a kid, I deeply and completely accept my fears.”

“Even though I remember the fight my parents had about money, and I think money is bad, I deeply…”

“Even though I’m afraid there won’t be enough, so I need to hold on tight, I deeply and completely accept who I am.

“Even though she told me there wasn’t enough, I choose to believe there is enough now.”

FEELINGS: Do you feel rich? If not in your bank account, do you at least feel rich in love or compassion or some other way? My point is you can’t get rich if you feel poor. So you will need to find some way of FEELING rich in your life. Notice the abundance in nature, or notice how many clients you do have, or how many good friends are in your life. However you do it, you must change the vibration you have and feel wealthy on an emotional level.

“Even though my father said we would always be poor, I choose to remember how much love I feel.”

“Even though I feel poor and anxious about money, I deeply and completely accept these fears.

“Even though my mother taught me it was better to be poor, I love and accept her anyway.”

Combining EFT with the energy of love and gratitude has contributed
to huge payoffs in my life and the lives of my clients. EFT was the
missing piece all along. Believe in PLENTY… THERE IS ENOUGH!

EFT for Job Loss Fears

2006-11-27T15:47:00.000-05:00

by Milton Drepaul

According to an article in The Washington Post (April 4, 2006) though getting fired ranks as one of the events in life which causes greatest stress it seems that the constant fear of losing your job can actually damage your mental and physical health even more.

It appears that the unrelenting nature of the stress is linked more strongly to depression and health problems than actual job loss.

The constant stress causes a variety of problems generally starting with sleeplessness, which is itself connected to more health problems. Since the nineties there has been a growing trend of companies downsizing and merging.This could have major troubling health implications for North American workers.

While life events can trigger negative emotions there are things we can do to reduce the impact of these negative responses. We concede that our feelings are very complicated and fragile.It takes some effort to manage them.If we empower ourselves with positive emotions then we send positive energy to boost our immune system. This generally results in vibrant health.

The danger for most of us is that we live in societies which encourage dwelling on negative feelings. It's fine to accept and acknowledge that we will face challenges in life. How we respond to them determine not only our physical health but our emotional and spiritual well being. Wallowing in self pity and other negative responses can encode harmful emotions deep into our cell memories.

Our jobs are the major focus of most of the lives. There is tremendous potential for both risk and success. So although many studies show that periods of employment are detrimental to our health it is not a surprise that the worry of losing your job can be even more harmful to our health. In my counseling I urge my clients to watch what they say about their life.(Often I recommend the books The Game of Life by Florence Shovel Shin written in early 20th century and Happiness Is a Choice by Barry Neil Kaufmann).

It's quite astonishing how often we unconsciously manifest bad things in our lives. Many spiritual teachers have taught that we create self fulfilling prophecies by focusing on fears of what might happen. Therefore if you are constantly putting your intention on the fear of losing your job you increase not decrease the chance of it happening. In a perverse way you add your own energy to propel that event into being.

If on the other hand you take Stuart Wilde's advice in The Little Money Bible and choose to love your job and send love and light to your superiors,your company and your fellow workers you have a much greater chance that you will be happier and healthier.

Learning to deal with stress can be quite simple. Don't get me wrong I'm not advocating some chemical anti-depressant or long periods of costly therapy. I heartily recommend a simple to learn technique which I have been using on myself and my clients for the last two years. It's called EFT or the Emotional Freedom Technique (Created by Gary Craig). You can learn it in a few minutes.You may need the help of someone who has used it often to deal with hidden fears.

Raise Your Libido Without Endless Drugs or Theraphy

By Christine Wheeler, MA

Are you concerned that you may be experiencing some kind of sexual difficulty? Are you tired of feeling that you're not normal just because you don't have a strong sex drive?

Fortunately, your libido doesn't have to lag behind because a new procedure (EFT) can help you lift the lid regarding your intimacy issues.

According to an article in the online Journal of the American Psychological Association (APA), conventional sex experts are labeling some women with Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD), a medical condition that they attempt to control with drugs. Other experts view women's sexual interest levels as being influenced by relationship issues, or psychological issues relating to past abuse, trauma or depression.

Before applying a testosterone patch or taking antidepressants to alter your passionate desires chemically ... consider EFT.

EFT is a uniquely gentle approach to alleviating the pain, distress, anger, shame, fear, guilt and embarrassment often associated with "sexual dysfunction." You can also relieve your unresolved negative emotions, beliefs or unproductive feelings about sexual intimacy.

EFT is a form of acupuncture without needles and you can easily learn to do it yourself. While considering the intimacy issues that are troubling you, you simply tap on a series of acupuncture points using your own fingertips. This stimulates your body's energy meridians and restores the free flow of your "subtle energies." The result is often a return to normal libido.

Here's a story of a woman who treated her own sexual difficulties while sitting in an audience of 300 at Gary Craig's EFT Seminar.

Marilyn (whose name has been changed to protect privacy) was a participant in one of Gary Craig's EFT seminars and chose to tap for her own intimacy issues while watching Gary (the EFT founder) work with someone on stage. Her results were remarkable.

During a break, Gary met Marilyn who was crying "tears of joy." Marilyn shared with Gary that she had spent years in conventional therapy to address her issues with men regarding abuse, abandonment and incest.

She found the conventional therapy to be helpful in that she had many "cognitive insights" and "understandings" about these issues. But the problems remained unresolved; she still distanced herself emotionally and romantically from men.

According to EFT theory, Marilyn's issues remained unresolved because she was still storing the issues in her energy meridian system.

Marilyn's tears of joy were because she had been tapping in the audience to clear these issues and she reported that she had genuinely resolved them. She finally had freedom from several longstanding issues. And this relief finally cleared the way for a truly meaningful romantic relationship with her boyfriend, Donald.

Gary reports, "It was easy to see the twinkle in her eye and I remember saying, with humor, "I think Donald owes me a Ferrari!" She smiled and said, "I think you're right!"

After the seminar, Marilyn wrote to Gary to give details on the work she had done during the seminar. She reported that she completely cleared three separate and intense traumas that where inhibiting her ability to feel safe with men.

First issue: Marilyn had been severely beaten by her husband 22 years previously. During the beating she felt that her death was imminent. While doing EFT she realized that she spent the last 22 years protecting herself from men and not being open to them, sexually or otherwise. Before doing EFT in the audience, Marilyn identified her distress as an 8 out of 10. EFT cleared this trauma to a zero.

Second issue: During the seminar, Marilyn realized that she had abandonment issues that stemmed from the sudden death of her boyfriend whom she loved deeply. This was 32 years ago. While Borrowing Benefits, Marilyn identified her distress as a 7 out of 10 and she cleared this trauma to zero.

She realized that she no longer needed to feel any sense of abandonment. She recognized that this would have a strong positive effect on her current relationship with her boyfriend.

Third issue: When Marilyn was 13, she was a victim of incest at the hands of her 14-year-old brother. She said that at the time, she had been completely passive. As she was tapping during the seminar, she knew that she would never be passive again and leave her body during intimate times with her partner.

Marilyn returned home to her boyfriend Donald and reported being "fully present in love making for the first time in my life!!! What a reward!!!! Yes, Gary, you are right ... Donald does owe you a Ferrari!!!

I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

Gary followed up with Marilyn some time later and she reported that she was no longer in a relationship with Donald, but had gone on to date other men and her romantic freedom was generating ecstatic benefits.
