What Would You Have to Believe….

Posted on by August 6, 2013

laugh-3hI heard this question from someone and thought it was brilliant: “What would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?”

For me, it first brought up the question of what success meant to me. I had to define it in my own terms in order to have a relevant answer.

And then, ‘what I would have to believe’ would be in feeling terms, not dollar terms, the way so many people gauge their success.

I want to feel calm, relaxed, excited and enthusiastic, inspired and inspiring and like I’m Doing My Life Right.

So I’d have to believe that I have value, that I CAN inspire people, that having the pleasure of feeling calm, excited and enthusiastic and relaxed is not only OK, but my true nature.

And I’d have to believe I actually am doing my life right, even if I goof up. That’s always been the hardest for me, since I’ve historically been pretty hard on myself, and because I like to have my fingers in so many pies at once. Can you relate?

So just for fun, and to keep myself on track, I often ask myself, what else could I be doing that would make me feel really good about my life? When I get the intuitive answer, I take appropriate action.

In over the past couple of years, I’ve been simplifying more and more. As a result, I’m better able to I integrate all the aspects of my life that I love the best into a more congruent whole.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

So, I’m really curious. What would you say if someone asked you, “what would you have to believe about yourself in order to feel successful?”

Stop right now and write out your answer, and come back to this when you’re done.

And how do you define ‘success’ to yourself in your own life, on your own terms?

What does success mean for you, relevant to money, friends, family, location, how you feel about you, etc.?

Stop right now and write out your answer, and come back to this when you’re done.

What to DO?

Posted on by April 29, 2013

wah!Today I woke up feeling really sad. Then it changed to anger. And then I had 3 phone calls all in a row, all from people who said, “I woke up feeling so sad today!”

Why does that happen?

I believe that we live in an energetic river. Not on it – IN it. Like being a star in the Milky Way – the star isn’t riding ON it, it’s IN it, an integral part of it.

And once in a while, a mood-current passes by, and we get caught by it – or not.

How do you know whether it’s yours, or just a mood-current in the cosmos?

I ask myself, “if I’m really sad about something in my life, what could it possibly be?”

I check all the levels of my life – work, family, play, past, present, future, etc. – and if there isn’t anything to really pin the feeling on – except for maybe an old, worn out story I’ve repeated since forever – then – it must be The River’s!

So I pretend I’m The River, and I tap on “I feel so sad!” and intend peace and joy.

If I find something within my life that brings up sadness, then…guess what! I tap on it, and intend peace and joy.

It really doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not – just tap and intend peace and joy. And get the energy running through your body smoothly and clearly.

And then, look around and see what you can do NOW, TODAY, to bring to the ‘outer’ world a reflection of your ‘inner’ world.

DO something that says, “I value Beauty,” or “I value kindness,” or “I value sharing EFT with a complete stranger.”

You’ll feel really good when you do.

Don’t End Your Life!

Posted on by April 29, 2013

hugI was really shocked and surprised this weekend when I was called three separate times by three complete strangers for help with suicidal feelings!

How grateful do you think I am to have the ability to calm someone down and help them see different, more peaceful and self-loving perspectives? 13 years ago I couldn’t have, because I didn’t know EFT yet.

And even though I work as a biz and marketing coach, and more recently as a Kindle Book Author Coach, how could I refuse these people? NOT!

I’ve heard from all 3 today, and all 3 feel better. I’m a lucky, lucky gal.

What are YOU lucky about?

What do YOUR skills and talents enable you to do that make you feel grateful – whether you make money from whatever it is or not?

Jondi Whitis of EFT Radio Interviews Author, Artist, Biz Coach Angela Treat Lyon

Posted on by March 24, 2013


I was interviewed by EFT Tap Fest’s Jondi Whitis last week, as to “Why You MUST Show Up.”

We had a blast, talking about how critical it is right now in our human journey to speak our truths, to show up and say it like it is.

With this query, Jondi made me think of an old-time mentor of mine who used to say, “If you don’t show up for yourself, how will Your People recognize you?”

Please join us here and listen in – do you agree? Disagree? What do you think?

New Author Rocks with Her Little Bitty Kindle Books!

Posted on by March 19, 2013

cheese-cover-vol-1-2small72dpi
Gayla Chepourcoff, the Kindle Course author I told you about a couple of weeks ago, whose first book was Recipes from Always Enough Ranch: How To Make Simple Soft Cheese, has done it again!

She not only has written and published her second book, but has already moved close to 300 of them!

I think you’ll like the little story: It’s Not Your Pig!

FEEDBACK ABOUT THE KINDLE COURSE:

I felt a difference when I woke up on the day after the tele-class. My feelings of overwhelm had disappeared, and I can only attribute this to borrowing benefits, even though I was not physically part of the class when you did the tapping! Thanks so much, this course has changed so much for me!
~ Coral Bell

This is so inspiring and bringing a new perspective…. You do so much more than just help with book writing – you bring in so many other things that are helpful, like “How to make promoting as much fun as writing”. These things are so important to other areas of our business life and bring a breath of, well, fun to it! I totally appreciate what you are doing for us, as in doing them for us, you do them for you. The circle of community, gotta love it! :^)

All I can say is “Wow, your coaching has been great. You cover so many tidbits that are worth their weight in gold, not to mention all the meat and potatoes info you’ve compiled, thanks.”

What’s Next After the Pain?

Posted on by March 18, 2013

OfferingsI have a question for you: once you have tapped through your downward spiraling, painful beliefs about yourself, what will you do next?

Have you thought about that?

When I first started tapping, my thoughts and my emotions were so tangled up, and my experience of life was so painful, that if you had asked me that question

I’d have laughed and exclaimed, “there’s actually something beyond this? Are you kidding? There’s something else?”

I didn’t see how absurd that was – if I didn’t believe there was something better, why would I bother to try and tap? Ah well.

But 6 weeks later, after tapping every day, my 35-year depression was gone, my suicidal thoughts were gone, and rays of light were bursting through into my head where there had been not much more than sheer will to get by and try my best and what seemed to be huge, overwhelming darkness.

Many of the you here on my newsletter list have been swinging along with me almost ten years – you must have been able to clear a ton of rocks from your pain pile by now!

What are you doing with your freedom, now that there is light coming through and into what used to be your dark inner room of fear and self-doubt?

IT’S TIME TO MAKE YOUR DEEPEST HEART’S DESIRE COME TRUE!

You know, even if you have NOT gotten completely clear of a hunk of pain, it’s still time to get down and dirty and hunker into your deepest dreams.

We need you.

The whole planet does. Because you have something of value that not one single other person out there has.

And we need you to share that with us.

Maybe it’s the way you use EFT.
Maybe it’s the way you write with tongue-in-cheek, black hysterical humor that gives us a new perspective on life.

Maybe it’s the way you absolutely adore your kids.
Maybe it’s how you cheer us up on FB.
Or maybe it’s how you talk about politics and help us make more sense of it.
Maybe it’s simply the way you make cheese.

Whatever it is, I want you to expand on it NOW.

Quit focusing on what’s wrong with you or your life, and focus on what’s lovely, loving, generous, fun and bright.

And write about it, sing about it, play your guitar or kazzoo about it, stand up on a podium and speak about it, send in articles to magazines, newspapers and blog- sites and facebook, tickle your kids with it, have an exotic night with your lover about it…be it, feel it, share it!

IT’S TIME!!!

Because life is NOT about feeling miserable, broke, hungry, depressed or afraid! And that’s what all this tapping is focusing on!

EVERY TIME YOU TAP, I want you to do this:
for every single thing you tap about,
choose the opposite to tap yourself into.

For example:
If you say to yourself, I feel terrible because I don’t have any money, first you tap on how you feel: I feel angry, hurt, sad, afraid, helpless…

Then you ask yourself what is really true? Even if you only have a penny, you can’t say you don’t have any money! You’d be lying! So here’s what you tap and say: “I have money, and I can have more!”
And you tap until that feels great to you.

HERE’S THE PLAN:
1. Ask yourself; “what’s going on?”
2. How do you feel about it?
3. Ask your heart, “If you and I could be/have and do anything at all, what would it be?
4. How will you feel when you have that reality?
5. TAP ON ALL THAT!
6. When you feel calm and more expanded, ask yourself now: “What are 3 mini-things I can do right NOW to help that happen?”

(Mini means really, really small! Like, take a nap, make a phone call, pet your dog for a minute, hang with your kid, feel your heart, clear your schedule for today….MINI.

7. Now go DO those things. One at a time.
8. Ask again, and DO again…and stay connected to your heart and its honest, simple desires.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR ME? GETTING MORE PEOPLE OUT THERE!

That’s why I’m focusing on helping people write Kindle book! It’s time they got out of their little shells and started sharing their skills, knowledge and expertise with the rest of us.

What will YOU do once you get yourself out from under the pain-pile?

DO it now! OK? Don’t even wait for the pain to go away.

Because the rest of us need you and your perspective,your humor, your intelligence, your love!

Think of it like this:
You’re driving from Houston to NY. Are you going to
1. Drive at 2 miles an hour, stopping and examining and focusing on each pain-pothole along the way so your road will be clear and you can move on…
Or
2. Focusing on having fun driving to NY, watching the signs, taking the right turnoffs, slowing down and going around potholes, filling them in as you go, and moving on again?

I hope you said #2!

Remember I love you!!!

aloha –
Angela

How I Ditched My Suicidal Thoughts, Shame, Distrust and Fear

Posted on by February 18, 2013

sm-disappointment-2For 35 years, I spent untold time every day quietly contemplating ways to do myself in. Even if the thoughts were only in the back of my mind. Thankfully, I never had even a fraction of the courage/stupidity to do it.

I wasn’t ill and dying, or it might have made a little sense. I just hurt inside, and didn’t know how to get relief. Ever since I was in my mid-teens, I’d felt abandoned and betrayed.

Honestly? I don’t even remember why. But my life looked valueless, hopeless and futile.

Oh, I played cheerful and bright and strong and powerful during the day when I was with other people – especially later on as an adult when I was with my painting and carving students.

But at night I cried myself to sleep. Every night.

A RAY OF HOPE OUT OF THE BLUE
One morning in June of 2001, something happened. As usual, I struggled to wake up from fear-filled chase dreams. I unwound from my nightly fetal position, and my regular habit of crying myself into the new, unwelcome day began.

But just then, a little, brilliant sliver of sun sneaked through a hole in my heavy, dark curtains, right onto my face.

It felt so good, that little ray. I lay there for a bit, just enjoying the warmth and the light.

And then…

What Story Do You Repeat About Yourself Day In and Day Out?

Posted on by February 11, 2013

and-then-smallIf I asked you to tell me a story, what would you say?

Most people I ask say, “I’m not a storyteller!”

But you know what? You are. You’re the narrator of your very own, inner drama. The Show Special of a Lifetime. The Act of all Ages.

And I bet that you have at least one of those droning boring undermining voices that tells you a daily story of, “I can’t”.

Aren’t you bored with that? Really, really tired of it?

What if you could change that “I can’t” story to, “I can and I am!”?

You can. First you have to pay attention to your story to find out where you want to make changes.

See, every little nuance of your personal story is important, because it affects every other part of your story. Imagine changing one small part of it, so you can change all of it! It’s true, it works.

“I DON’T HAVE ____ ”

Here’s a story I hear again and again:
“I don’t have any money.”

Look in your wallet. Look down in the folds of your couch. In your penny jar. In your pockets. On your dresser. I bet you have small change there. I bet you have at least a dollar’s worth of change in your purse!

So when you say, “I don’t have any money,” guess what? It’s not true, is it?

“But Angela, what can I do with small change?”

It’s the small changes that make the big ones. You don’t always have to make a quantum leap – especially if you’re stuck in the mud and can’t even walk, much less leap!

Nano-steps. That’s what you need right now. Later, when you’re free of the mire of your constricting thoughts, you can leap. But you need to get out of the mud first. Here’s how:

Why Doing What You Hate is a Life-Killer

Posted on by January 12, 2013

If you have a job or are doing something Angerright now where you spend most of your time hating what you do, this is for you.

Be careful what you choose to do. Why?

Because as you spend your life minutes and precious life energy on doing whatever it is, you are spending it hating!

That’s not living. That’s dying, inch by inch. That’s not what you’re here for!

Because, as you know, everything is energy. Vibrations, frequencies. And you’re grinding away on a job you hate?

a lot to offer!Guess what you’re adding to the Field! Hate!

Do you really want to do that?

I want you to drill down and ask yourself intense questions, so you can find the things in your life that you adore thinking about, fiddling with, telling other people about, creating and making and enjoying the process.

Even the drudge parts that aren’t so much fun but support the essence of the Dream.

When you do that, you send love vibrations out and out and out, and you – and every single one of us on the planet – benefit from it.

DO YOUR PASSION. PLEASE.

Are You Intending to Create More Passive Income in 2013 than You Ever Have Before?

Posted on by January 12, 2013

Passive Income in 2013!How would you like to stop struggling with money, as of 2013?

WANT PASSIVE INCOME?
EASILY COMING IN MONTH AFTER MONTH?
YEAR AFTER YEAR?

I want the year 2013 to be a pivotal year for you!

How can it be? When you decide to create real, solid, perpetual prosperity in your life! And if you already feel prosperous, why not more?

There are two things you can do right now, today, to create a pivotal year for yourself – heck, I’ve already started!

FIRST:
Go here and pay close attention to my interview on Daring Dreamers Radio with money-mentor, Joan Sotkin’s message!

SECOND:
The next is…are you ready? Write a Kindle ebook!

UH-OH! Don’t see yourself as an author?

Please KEEP READING – you’ll see how simple it can be!

WHY AN EBOOK?

Aren’t those outdated?
And why Kindle?

1. No, ebooks are not outdated by any means.

2. Because it’s an easy way for you to start creating passive income for yourself (I’ll show you how).

3. And, if you already have passive income, it’s an easy way for you to create more!

GOT MONTHLY PASSIVE INCOME?

No matter what you do for a living right now, if you don’t have some kind of payment from some source quietly coming in month after month without your having to lift a finger, you don’t have passive income.

And I can pretty much wager safely that you’ve worried what would happen to you or your family if you fell down and got hurt, or if you got sick and landed in the hospital for a time. What would happen to you?

Well, I can tell you from personal experience, even if you have insurance, maybe part or all of your hospital bill might get paid, but what will replace the money you usually make every day? Nothing. That can hurt, big-time.

Siren! Red light! Siren! Red flag! Siren!

You don’t have to push that scary scenario to the back of your mind anymore, because I’m going to show you how you can take the very simplest path to create a regular, steady passive income.

Even if you bring in only a few hundred dollars a month – it’s still more passive income than you have now! Could you use more money coming in?

WHERE’D I GET THIS IDEA?

Two months ago, an author hired me to create a cover for his newest ebook.

During the course of our work together, he mentioned that he wanted to start promoting it during the holidays on Amazon and Kindle. He had 4 or 5 other books he’d written before, from which he gets very good monthly income.

I thought, “I can do that, too!”

SO CAN YOU.

And – you can create passive income with subjects and topics that aren’t even in the least related to what you regularly do for a living!

Now – before you go into paroxysms of worry and doubt and “I can’t do that!” exclamations, stop a minute and listen VERY carefully.

Because what I’m going to share with you is so simple and so fall-over-easy that when you see it, you’ll just laugh, instead.

So just keep reading, and stay calm, OK? (Until you feel so excited you can’t sit still anymore, that is!)

GO FROM OVERWHELM TO EASY!

When I thought about writing books for the Kindle, I was thinking about taking information I usually teach in teleclasses and was mentally re-creating it all in ebooks, and it felt overwhelming. I’ve created heaps of info, so if I did that, it would be a LOT of work. I almost threw the idea out.

Then I just happened to see a webinar about writing kids’ books for the Kindle – what an eye opener!

Did you know that there are kids’ books of only 20 pages…half of which are pictures, and the other half one-liner pages???

What??? Can it really be that simple?

I began to think about all the other different things I could write about that have not one thing to do with my life as a coach, artist or radio show host. I could write 2, 4 or 10 page reports! Hey! Who said I had to write 100-page books?!?

So I made a list of all the things I’m good at doing and could write about easily. Then I chose one – cooking! I have some pretty amazing recipes – why not use them to start with?

There are hundreds of how-to books on Amazon – what if I made my favorite recipes into little tiny ebooks? Simple, basic, 2 page ones? And so I started writing.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO FIRST

Stop reading for a minute, and jot down 2, or 4, or even 10 things you’re really good at.

Why? Because I really want you to enjoy your writing. So choose things that you love to do. Things that you could talk about or write about easily – like a simple how-to.

Now, out of those topics you listed, I want you to just choose one. ONE. Because I want it to be simple and easy, and avoid overwhelm.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR:

1. a topic that you’re really good at,
2. that you love to do,
3. that you can explain in simple words,
4. and that people have always complimented you on, asked you about, or wanted from you.

The one people say any of these about:
“Oh, that’s so cool!” or
“Wow, how do you do that?” or
“Can you do that for me, too?” or,
“You’re so good at that, you should sell it!”

ELIMINATING POSSIBILITIES

1. When I was a kid, people used to ask me to make pencil portraits of them. I was good at it, and I brought in some money each time I did them. But – how could I do that for a Kindle book? I couldn’t see how, nor do I love it enough to write an ebook. So that’s out.

That’s one example of how to eliminate a topic.

2. OK, what then? Hm. Let’s see. I make the world’s most to-die-for home made fudge. It’s the darkest, richest, most addictive, delicious, can’t-help-yourself- from-reaching-for-more-until-it’s-only-crumbs fudge you have ever eaten.

A few years ago, I wrote it down, step by step, and took pictures along the way, and I created an ebook out of it.

But even that’s too complicated. I want it to be easier.

3. Since there are thousands of things you can do in cooking, I decided to take ONE category: soups. What could be easier and more simple?

So in the past 2 weeks, I’ve written out and published three 2-page recipes on Kindle. Three!

Plus, I even wrote a little report on how to swallow pills without gagging! It is a problem for many people, including me. I figured out how to not gag, and I wanted to share my secret.

See how easy it can be?

HOW YOU CAN PICK YOUR TOPIC TO WRITE ABOUT

Pick a topic or subject that is:
•  easiest for you to explain
•  people exclaim the most about
•  you enjoy doing the most
•  a problem people struggle with that you have a solution for
•  and it is very, very simple to write out

See how easy choosing a topic is?

Now I want to share even more with you:
•  how to write your book, booklet or report right
•  how to save tons of time writing
•  how to create a book-selling cover
•  how to publish your book on Kindle

What’s the Real Bottom Line? Is It Money?

Posted on by January 12, 2013

intentRecently I was invited to take a position as a top expert on a very well-known website for people interested in self-growth.

I felt pleased and honored, and am considering the position. It would mean more possible income and exposure.

But I’m being very careful about whether or not I say yes. Why?

Because everything is some form of energy exchange, and I have a history of give-give-give…exhaustion/burnout/sadness/depression, I am really careful about what I say yes to now.

I ask myself, will I get paid in some form? That might sound mercenary, but let’s be real – I only have so much time and so much physical energy, and I have to be fed in order to keep giving.

Think airplane oxygen scenario – you put your own mask on before you help your kids with theirs. If you’re not breathing, you can’t help them. If I don’t eat or am not fed emotionally, mentally or spiritually, I can’t give, passionate or not.

Qs:
So I always ask myself: in what form will this thing serve me, so I can keep feeling great and continue to serve others? Will it…
•   Make me feel good about me: maybe allow me to serve others in a selective way that makes me feel like I’m doing my life right?
•   Exposure: to whom, and how many, and would they
be joining my mailing list, and will they appreciate/buy
my products and services…or are they tire-kickers?
•   Time: will this thing help me save or compress time so I can do more of my passion?
•   Material goods: maybe there’s a gift to an event, or books, or any number of goodies I wouldn’t ordinarily have or get myself, but that I would like.
•   Pleasure: maybe this thing I’m offered will make me feel good – like a massage or some health treatment, or energy treatment.
•   Money: and if so, will it match what I make now or better, and can I feel good, hold onto my passion, and keep my personal integrity upon receiving it?

The biggest, bottom line Q: is this thing aligned with my heart’s deepest desire?

If not, if it won’t serve me in a way that will allow me to continue to build and expand on what I’m loving doing now – I say no.

How do you decide? Please add your comments here!

The Writing on the Wall

Posted on by January 12, 2013

I thought you might enjoy a few pix that I found on PicturesofWalls.com, a site featuring delightful, ironic, sad, angry and funny pictures of graffiti on all kinds of walls.

I compiled some of the images into a kind of rough line of visual conversation here. Takes you from despair to delight and hope. Right click here or on the image below to download the pdf. Enjoy!

It’s Not About the Guns!

Posted on by December 18, 2012

I’m hearing people say, “stop allowing people to have access to guns.” But I wonder….

President Obama ended his speech today with this: “Heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds.”

Is there any deeper call to action to those of us with such powerful tools as EFT, EMDR, NLP, etc., that are so very effective helping people reclaim emotional and mental stability?

We can help people who were like the victims of this shooting in CT. Of course they need counseling and consoling. But the shooter, too, as well as the people in his family!

IMAGINE WITH ME….

Just imagine that you feel volcanically angry, hurt and enraged at people because you’ve felt so alone, rejected, victimized or shunned by everyone your entire life.

You feel so terrible that life is no longer worth living, and you can’t hold in the powerful rage one more second. You’ve wanted to hurt just any body, because maybe it would get you a little revenge, maybe stop your pain a little.

I’m not saying that YOU would do that, but can you SEE that, if you felt that terrible and wanted to hurt someone, even if you didn’t have guns, you might use whatever is at hand? You might have a string of big, powerful fireworks, or grenades, or a crossbow, or a set of throwing knives.

You’d use whatever you could when you try to get back at the ones who you perceived had hurt you or who had enabled that hurt to happen.

And what’s even worse for you is that after you do the unthinkable deed, you’re going to be reviled even worse than any other time in his entire life! So much for vengeance.

Can you see that it’s not about the guns? That it’s about the lack of mental and emotional stability that caused this to occur?

I can’t say that I know even a sliver of the grand plan of the universe. But I can say that I do believe that if the shooter had had mental and emotional support early on in his life there is probably a good chance that he would never have contemplated perpetrating such a horror.

Our work is before us: I repeat President Obama’s words, “Heal the broken hearted and bind up their wounds.”

So I say to you EFT / energy practitioners: if you continually wonder, “why would anyone hire me? What worth do I have to deliver for people?” Stop that destructive internal dialog nonsense right this second.

Because you know as well as I do that your work is critical for people who suffer from unresolved emotional and mental pressures.

That when you help people using your amazing energy tools, you help transform lives.

You help people climb out from under depression, suicide, hatred, rage. From long-standing physical illness and pain. From unresolved relationship issues.

That and that alone is what today’s shooting was about – unresolved emotional and mental pressure. Not guns.

Please stop self-obsessing with debilitating questions that keep you from functioning and doing your work. Start helping more people.

When people ask you what you do, don’t tell them, “I’m an EFT practitioner.”

  • Tell them you help people erase emotional pain!
  • Tell them you help people get over fear, anger, depression!
  • Tell people you help them find new ways to resolve old problems, get to the next level in business, or stop worrying about money!
  • Tell them you help people get over test anxiety, rent worries, fear of getting onstage, even fear of being famous, or not being able to perform as expected!

Because that’s what you do, right?

Then ask them what their lives would be like if they could get over their inner devils. BE with them until they see that it’s not only possible, but crucial so they can feel better, do better, live better!

You DO have value, silly bean! Even if you only helped one person, you’ve helped many more people who’d have been affected by that person. It ripples out.

I say to you once, more – our work is before us: we have the tools, we can help people heal their broken hearts and bind up their wounds. Have at it.

Today.

FOCUS ON THE HEART’S DEEPEST DESIRE!

Yes, you really do help people. But remember, it’s not just to ‘get rid of’ broken, unresolved and miserable feelings. It’s about helping people find their deepest heart’s desire and bring it to the world.

Because THAT’s what we’re all really here for…to find, create, and live our deepest heart’s desire!

Can you tell I totally believe in the power of love?

A Shocking Reading

Posted on by November 13, 2012

Yesterday, I was given an astrology reading by a well-meaning, very dear-to-me, much-loving old friend.

I’m think astrology is a good thing – even studied it for a bit – but I don’t normally go out of my way to get readings.

But since it was a gift, and offered with such good intention, I thought, how nice! Thank you! And I showed up on the phone.

Then the astrologer proceeded to tell me that my chart showed that my houses of recognition and family were “in ruins,” and that even though Leo in the 5th house (and more) showed I was “a creative genius,” because of other aspects, my artwork would “never support” me.

And he said that he considered it a “cruel cosmic joke to be such a creative genius,” and yet be so restricted by the other aspects of my chart.

He said I had to do some “major internal shifting” and that I should “focus on writing, teaching and communication,” which would, indeed, support me.

Wow. Did I go away stunned? Yep.
And later, sad. And mad. And MAD.
You can assume correctly that yes, I tapped. A LOT.

Not necessarily on a supposedly impossible art career,

Half the Sky

Posted on by November 4, 2012

I watched a documentary last night called Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide.

Ever hear of it? It’s also the name of a book written by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, a NY Times reporter and his wife, also a writer for the Times.

In each of the two 2-hour segments, they carefully explore several very tough, very volatile areas of women’s suffering and abuse, and show great examples of what people are doing about it.

From sex trafficking to prostitution to female genital mutilation to women finally learning how to start their own businesses after years of degradation, beatings and even being tortured and killed by their own men.

Women whose kids literally sleep under the bed as their mothers ‘entertain’ their customers, assume they’ll grow up into the life of prostitution, and who never get an inch of education.

Not nice subjects, I know. I’d heard of and even seen footage of some of the things they showed, I was horrified anew.

But inspired, as well, by people like John Wood, who used to sell Windows for Microsoft, who started up and runs Room to Read (http://www.roomtoread.org), helping literally tens of thousands of kids in Viet Nam and other areas learn to read, and helping them go to school.

One of the amazing women who was interviewed was an older black woman in Somalia. She’d had a very high, very prestigious position at the UN. Her father was a well-known, highly respected doctor. She decided to take her own experience as a doctor and midwife home. So when she retired, she decided that she wanted to do something about the high rate of women dying in child-birth in her country.

After starting out meeting and beginning to treat pregnant women under a TREE because she had no office, that Somalian doctor has by now built her own magnificent hospital, trained local women in midwifery, and has lowered the mortality rate in her area to one-quarter of the country’s average.

I was so struck when she said, Continue reading →

One More Week! Woohoo!

Posted on by November 2, 2012

Malinda Zarate of EmboldenedHeart.com has been kind enough to leave my interview with her up for another week because of the hurricane.

Woohoo! Thanks!

If you have struggled with overwhelming feelings of anger, sadness, fear, etc. you’ll want to hear this.

And nope, I did NOT use EFT to show Malinda how to turn her anger into an ally, and it did NOT take forever with a lot of processing – it took under 7 minutes!

I think that this is one of the best interviews I’ve ever done!
http://InstantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=34314240

WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
Thank you for your wisdom, your important sharing to the world. I like the part that people at your age find a fascinating world, and that you are opening a different path to women . That’s a very healing way of thinking. it is a way of life.

Raise Your Vibes Despite Election Chaos and Mean, Nasty, Gossipy BS

Posted on by November 2, 2012

I’m supposing that 99.9% of those who send out newsletters to their self-growth lists wouldn’t mention the upcoming US elections. Well. I will, and I am.

Here’s why: every last thing we do and think effects our vibratory rate. The higher frequency we vibrate at, the higher the energetic message we send out. So it’s within our own interest to keep our vibes high, right?

And – if we get caught up in the hate, the lies, the I’m better than you or he’s a jerk stuff, we are deliberately descending through vibratory levels, and cannot help but end up feeling really cruddy. Do we need this? No.

So I’m sharing with you the note I sent out on FB last night, because I’m up to here with the rhetoric and shocking images and the gossip…I’m done with it. I’ve even deleted everyone who is a blaster. Ahhhh, nice calm news feed today!

So here it is: I hope you enjoy it and get some ideas from it.

CALLING FOR SOBRIETY in the 2012 ELECTIONS:
How to create a sober election aura for 2012

The hate, the lies, the fear and the rampant emotions around this election are such a waste of energy.

People say it’s worse than it’s ever been, but I think it’s just that we have such instant, wide-spread communication that we can hear more of it faster and easier.

I SAY stop it.
I SAY get sober.

I don’t mean stop drinking or whatever it is you do … I mean stop allowing your resentments and fears and gossip and your tendency to rant and rave about the Other Guy to control you.

I SAY quit using the F word and other de-energizing words. Yes, you do have the right to use them, but you forget the consequences OF using them. Your use of those words turn off many of the people you would love to bring over to your side. Is that what you really want?

You might feel like you have a nice cozy fellowship of F-word users, but are there enough to win the election? I don’t think so.

So I invite you to consider using words that intend to elevate rather than shock or surprise or stun someone. You might shock someone, but you won’t convince them of your message.

I’d really like to take my sh*t shield down so I can be present enough to really hear what you have to say, without having to worry about getting splattered with ughy stuff.

AND I SAY, stop a minute and see if you can think of at least one good thing about the Other Guy.

Maybe even 10 things.

Make a list, so you can compare. Because the list that adds up to have the most appreciated things on your list will be the one you vote for, right?

First, though, maybe you could put your radical emotions on the back burner – believe me, they will be there for you anytime you want to call them back! Tap a little to calm down, if you have to.

Now make your list:

What are 10 things you appreciate, within the context of your beliefs, ideas, wishes and agendas for our country and yourself and your family…

ABOUT OBAMA:
• what does he stand for?
• what has he accomplished that you approve of?
• what has he said that rings true for you?
• what does he promise he will do within the next 4 years that you appreciate if he really did them and if those things should actually come about?
1. ________________________
2. ________________________
3. ________________________
4. ________________________
5. ________________________
6. ________________________
7. ________________________
8. ________________________
9. ________________________
10. _______________________

What are 10 things you appreciate, within the context of your beliefs, ideas, wishes and agendas for our country and yourself and your family…

ABOUT ROMNEY:
• what does he stand for?
• what has he accomplished that you approve of?
• what has he said that rings true for you?
• what does he promise he will do within the next 4 years that you appreciate if he really did them and if those things should actually come about?
1. ________________________
2. ________________________
3. ________________________
4. ________________________
5. ________________________
6. ________________________
7. ________________________
8. ________________________
9. ________________________
10. _______________________

Whose list do you like the most? He’s your Guy.

Now talk about those things in your rants and social media and to your friends, NOT what you hate about the Other Guy.

You’ll win more people over. And maybe your guy will
win the election.

“How DARE You Call Me A Dead Weight?”

Posted on by November 2, 2012

I sent out an email to my list yesterday, asking people for feedback and input on issues they wanted to solve.

At the end, I wrote this: “…if you’re not willing to put yourself out and do something for yourself, to invest in yourself, to take a risk, to learn something new, to get some hand-holding from an experienced tapper and mentor, maybe it’s time for you to find someone else’s list to be on, because you’re just being dead weight in your own life, and that isn’t who I serve.”

Check out what happened next!

I got two really wonderful notes from someone who called me crazy (and a lot more!), and was infuriated that I called her ‘dead weight.’

Because they were so illuminating, I asked her for her permission to share her notes (which I tweaked a little because english is not her mother tongue, and reformatted a bit for easier reading). She was happy to share them with you.

I think you’ll enjoy them. Note #1:

“You are the craziest, meanest, cruelest  person and a complete monster. I’m unsubscribing right now. I want to tear your eyes out! I can’t believe you say you market from the heart and then call people dead weight if they don’t do what you think they should do! How DARE you?”

And then she Continue reading →

How Do You Feel When It’s Time to Ask for Your Fees?

Posted on by October 23, 2012

When it’s time to ask your potential client or your customer for the money, what happens to you?

How do you feel?
•   Squeamish?
•   Guilty?
•   Ashamed?
•   Like your services ‘should’ be free?
•   Does a little voice in your head insist that you’re a fraud? (Many energy pratitioners tell me this – how can I ask for money for such a lala thing?)

I used to feel like I was dying a thousand deaths each and every time I had to tell someone my fees.

I don’t now, though – and there’s a very good reason for that.

Tomorrow on my Money Tapping Group Part 3 call, we’ll be going over the first part of why you freak out when you ask for money from a client – or for higher fees than they have been paying – and what to do about it.

This is one of the most important abilities you must have in order to succeed in your biz – how can you earn the money you need to run and maintain and expand if you can’t ask for it???

Join us, AND get last week’s audio, plus the next 2 calls and audios in The Money Tapping Group Part 3.

Think about it. I used to freak out asking for $30 for a full hour session when I first started charging for EFT sessions. My hourly rate now is $595.

Speaking of which, can you see what a great savings you’re getting by only $57.97 for FOUR weeks of coaching? PLUS being able to benefit from the energy of the other passionate entrepreneurs on the call with you?

There’s a way to ask for more money and stay in integrity with your values. Once you find out and use it, too, no matter what rates you charge, you can feel good about it.

I look forward to working with you when you join us!

I Need Your Input!

Posted on by October 23, 2012

Times are changing. Your needs are changing. And I want to keep up to date.

So, if you would write me a quick comment on this page with very brief phrases about what you’d like help with from me, I’d so appreciate it.

I’ve done surveys, but they seem so cold and distance-making. I want to keep close touch with you, so I’m just asking you to hit the reply button and write a couple of words or phrases.

For instance:
•  I want help tapping on how I feel about marketing, specifically about my website (or copywriting, or social media….)
•  I am broke and want to be prosperous and I don’t know what to tap on or what to do to take positive action
•  I am so depressed I can’t see straight and can’t fix it
•  I can’t make money as an artist
•  I don’t know what to say at networking meetings so I can attract new clients
•  I want to be a speaker but I’m shy
•  add your own: ___________

See what I mean? PLEASE no long stories – I just can’t read them all! Just a phrase or two for a couple of needs you have. You can always ask for more later!

Money Tapping Group, Part III!

Posted on by October 15, 2012

THE MONEY TAPPING GROUP Part III: Uncover and Clear Out the Limiting Vows in your Heart Chakra…so you can have more freedom, fun and prosperity, and delight in sending out more just-plain-flat-out beautiful Heart Radiance!

Maybe you can you relate to this:

“Sometimes I do something, think it’s great…and then later look at it and wonder what I was thinking! I end up either throwing it out, redoing it, or giving it away because I can’t bear to look at it.”

Or how about this:
“I look back on my life and wonder why I’m not where I thought I’d be at my age. I feel sad and disappointed in myself and my life.”

One more:
“I fell in love with this guy who turned out to be such a jerk, and I decided I’d just be better off not having a close relationship with anyone.”

If you can see yourself in any of those, you’ll love what we’re going to do in the next 4 weeks…because…

The Money Tapping Group, Part III, starts on Thursday of this week!

In this advanced level, consolidating and launching off from the work you’ve done with Chakras 1 through 3, we’re going to dive into and clear out your crucial center-point: Chakra 4, the Heart Chakra, so you can imbue everything you do with more of the radiance of your Deepest Heart than you ever have before.

Without clearing, activating and energizing your Heart Chakra in your activities, you leave so much of your love behind!

And you end up disappointing your own heart, which ends up making you lose confidence and feeling alone, criticized and less-than.

If you have ever felt:  
•   disappointed in yourself or something you’ve done
•   that on some level, maybe you or part of you are not lovable, valuable or worthy
•   like you ‘should’ be more perfect or do things more perfectly
•   sad or heart-broken because you suddenly realize how harshly you’ve treated yourself in your life…

Well…get ready to change all of that!

I’m really excited, because within the next set of 4 Money Tapping Group segments, I’m going to show you how to:

•   Find and eliminate the secret Heart Chakra vows that keep your Heart Chakra from functioning at its full beautiful radiance

•   Stop criticizing yourself so you can begin to bless every inch of yourself: what you’ve done in your life, and what you are, do and have right this moment!

•   Get the Key to finally SEE and resolve the up-to-now invisible blind spots that undermine you

•   Use my 3-Rings ID Map to get to each major level of any issue or project, so you can create clarity and precise results

•   Reset 2 specific set-points you may not have heard about yet that limit your ability to create or even  receive success

What would it be like to stop feeling stuck?
What would it be like to stop beating yourself up with criticisms and sharp  mental or verbal barbs that cut your confidence down?
What would it be like to know what to do next without any doubt?

Starting on our next call, we’re going to:
1.  Open the locks on your heart chakra
2.  Undo the vows you created to keep yourself safe that are now outdated and keeping you from the movement and freedom you desire and deserve
3.   Reset a couple of set-points you may not have heard about yet that limit your ability to create and receive success

I can hardly believe some of the people who have been through the first 2 sets are the same people who started out – they have made such incredible progress! I want that for you, too!

——–
“I’m blown away by the power of the group – again – and your expert guidance and navigation through potentially treacherous waters. Thanks so much for this amazing class…it’s been a great group–actually life changing…thanks for all your support and help. You really are a powerful healer and transformer – I’m so glad you’re still doing this coaching thing…I’m getting new opportunities, so things are shifting for me.”
~ private caller

So I invite you to join me on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18th from 5 to 6:30 pm NY time for the first of this next, 4-segment set in the Money Tapping Group Series.

CLICK HERE to get The Money Tapping Group Part II!

Remember, no matter where you live in the world, even if you can’t make it to the calls in person, you can listen at your leisure to the audios.
