Hello all, don’t forget, Tuesday night is the night to learn and practice Emotional Freedom Technique. Chebucto Coffee, corner of Kline and Chebucto from 7-9.
Last week we had some new people join and "Mary" released trauma and a dark place living within her since she was sexually assaulted many years ago. Her story was very emotional and the group was feeling love and empathy for her as she bravely talked about what happened. We worked on forgiveness and gratitude for the life she has today. While there is still work to be done Mary said she felt lighter and has a new perspective on what happened to her.
People seem to be bringing little gifts, you know, offerings. This week Justine brought yellow plums. Last week she brought biscuits. We take a break half way through and enjoy a snack before getting back to the tapping at hand.
I look forward to group every week and many of our participants tell me the same thing.
Hope to see you there.
with love and gratitude,

Hello all, every Tuesday night; group from 7-9 at Chebucto Coffee, corner of Chebucto and Kline Streets, we meet to discover more love for ourselves and others.
Two people shared their stories last Tuesday and both of them had issues with being abandoned at an early age by primary care givers. I find this to be a common theme among my clients. It seems that parents aren’t always ready to be parents when they have children. Sometimes the abandonment shows up emotionally or in actually losing a loved one to divorce or death.
Children just want to be loved and accepted unconditionally and when an important person in their lives leaves children often feel like it is their fault. Guilt stays with that child until adulthood until it can be released with some sort of therapy like EFT.
The concept that we all came here to have a physical experience including all the stuff that feels bad suggests that God, Yahweh, Emmanuel, Divine Creator, Spirit or whatever you call the higher power in your life, is bringing us stuff that feels bad so we can find a way to allow it to feel better. Once we discover a way to release our own negative emotions and self judgment for one set of problems we learn we can use the same ideas, practices, techniques to release all our problems and reframe them in to looking like the true gifts that they are meant to be.
As we worked on these ideas to understand them and “tap” them in to “reality” or “knowing” I asked the group of 18 (great attendance by the way but short of the 10,000 that is my goal) who was benefitting from this round of tapping and 12 hands shot up.
Clearly this is a topic of interest to a lot of people.
Hope you can make it this Tuesday. We love each other and look for ways to succeed in having a happier and more fulfilling journey through life.

Hi, don’t forget; Tuesday night group, Chebucto Coffee, 6430 Chebucto Road, Halifax, 7-9. Everyone is welcome.
Last week was a lot of fun we tapped and laughed. “Martha” worked on not feeling good enough, not allowed to take care of herself but compelled somehow to take care of every one else. This is becoming exhausting so we made great strides in letting it go.
“Betty” shared her story about insomnia so we did some work around that.
All in all it was a fun evening. We have been closing with a couple tapping rounds on what we are grateful for today. This feels good so we are likely to continue with this tradition.
I would love to see some of you from past groups. Hope you can make it this week.
with love and gratitude,

Tuesday night EFT Tapping group, Chebucto Coffee 7-9. Ok, nothing dramatic as the title might suggest but, every TNG is different and every week at least one person goes home feeling better about themselves, more clear, free of some problem that was bugging them or more open about how to feel better about their lives. In doing Tuesday night group for more than 3 years now, I can’t think of one night when someone didn’t benefit….including and especially me. I often get several emails after group to say thanks or where someone tells me about an important problem not feeling so important any more. I know this stuff works for people because people tell me how it works for them.
So here’s the thing. This list has more than 90 people on it. Lately we have had 6-10 people coming. There have been nights when we entertained 24 people. Many of you have emailed me or said you were thinking about coming to group but then something came up that interfered. Life goes on, I understand. Stuff happens.
My question is this. If there is one thing that keeps showing up to bug you in your life what is it and when do you plan to let that "bug" fly free? How would your life be different if you finally addressed those thoughts that recycle in to fear, guilt, shame, anger, sadness or whatever it is that bothers you. How would your relationships change if you didn’t feel defensive all the time?
You see, this is not who you truly are. You are a bright shiny light of infinitely creative intelligence and you, too can learn how to actually feel that way…..or close to it, most of the time.
It’s a kind of rainy Tuesday, probably not a good night for gardening or going out for a walk. Why not think about the main "bug" in your life, transform the problem in to an "I want" statement ("I want to forgive my mother" for example) and bring it with you to group tonight. Maybe we can let it go. "I imagine 15 happy tappers sitting in the room tonight at the Coffee shop".
Last week we ended group with a round of gratitude for something good that happened during the day or something we were anticipating. Each person added their particular gratitude as we all tapped. Everyone seemed to like this so we will likely be doing it more often.
see you soon, love and gratitude,

Hello my friends, last week was a wonderful gathering of forward looking people. We are talking about general issues that most can relate to instead of focusing on one person’s problem at a time, as much (hope that makes sense). The idea is to think about and tap on what we want rather than on what’s wrong. The issues seem to be the same the approach is more positive and it feels good. If you haven’t been with us for awhile, take a beautiful summer’s eve and spend it with us to see if you can make positive change in your life.
We also did a remote healing for a friend of Peggy’s and hope she is feeling improvement in her health. We had done this for her about 8 months ago with very positive results so hope we were able to positively affect her this time. Time will tell.
Speaking of health, our resident crohn’s sufferer (my word not his) sent me an email saying his test results still showed some crohns but not as much as before. I believe he has given up his medications and thought he was completely past the crohns so the test results were bitter sweet (my analysis not his). I responded by saying it is my experience that the body sometimes needs some time to catch up to the psyche. We both agree the key is to keep on tapping every day, many times a day. 25 years of having crohns, 2 months of tapping. Any relief is significant.
I just received a call from "Misty" who was very upset. It seems she and her sister got in an argument, not an unusual situation, and she called her parents who were unsympathetic and critical. Tears were flowing and her story flowed with them. "I want to go, later, to my cousin’s party but I can’t imagine being with them" she cried. We tapped together for awhile (over the phone) and as I felt her begin to calm I asked her "at what point did you remember that your parents and sister are bringing you the gifts you came to this earth to receive?" The response was more story about what was wrong. So, I asked her again, "when did you realize that your family was bringing you the gifts you came here to receive and start to feel grateful for their fulfilling your every need in those moments of conversation and disconnect?" At the end Misty was feeling calmer and was no longer compelled to tell me her story of hurt. She has experienced the release of gratitude and forgiveness but, as we all do, she sometimes forgets to implement. "I love you, I am sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you". Misty won’t be joining us for TNG tonight as she will be joining her family at her cousin’s party. Hope she has fun and allows the gifts of positive and negative interactions to flow through her for peace and calm….."I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, ILU, ILU,…"
Tonight at 7, please be on time so we don’t have to run down to open the door for you. Chebucto Coffee, corner of Chebucto and Kline. $5.00 or more if you are so moved. I have $5.00 gift certificates to the Coffee shop if you want one and will promise to use it. Surprise me, bring 9000 friends…..or 1 will be fine.
Hello, TNG members. Remember, 7-9pm, Chebucto Coffee every Tuesday Evening to tap away what is bothering you and tap in to your true potential. I have $5.00 gift certificates from Chebucto Coffee, for anyone who asks, if you have not had one before and promise to use it. I am grateful to Mike who is the owner and his coffee is great and the food is good too.
Last week we spent most of the evening focusing on what we want instead of what’s wrong. The highlight of the evening for most was the tapping round we did on gratitude. Everyone felt really good after that.
It was a small group but we had Anna and Sang-gye back after 1 year and 4 months away, respectively. I am very happy to see old friends come back and hope to see you too if you are one of them.
We will be focusing on the positive so bring your thoughts and ideas for getting closer to your Spirit to enjoy life just a little more, moment by moment.
with love,

Hello everyone, first, I want to ask if there is anyone interested in level 1 EFT training on the 25th or level 2 EFT training on the 26th of June or both. If you are interested please let me know right away. 452-0473….thanks.
Last week we met with 8 people or so. The group has been small but steady and we have been getting a lot of good work done. We meet every week at Chebucto Coffee from 7-9 and EVERYONE is welcome. In the next few weeks, thanks to some feedback from members we will be focusing on abundance, what’s good and feels right rather than “what’s the problem”. I also had some feedback that basically said “more tapping (doing EFT) and less talk”. I totally agree that I have been waxing eloquent on a number of Spiritual topics and losing sight of our true purpose which is to “tap away” what’s wrong and “tap in” to what we want.
“Misty” was very committed to feeling concerned that her boss was inconsistent in his feelings toward her. It seemed that sometimes he liked her and sometimes he didn’t. He can be friendly which feels good and at other times distant or argumentative or obstructive which doesn’t. We tapped on the idea that all energy that comes to us is perfect. Her boss is perfect, she is perfect and is in the perfect place at the perfect time no matter how it may feel. In truth there is only one person who can ruin her day and that is “Misty” herself. 1/2 hour of tapping later and the negative feelings turned to lightness and laughter.
“Bob Isumi” reported that his crohns seems to be much improved and test results will be forthcoming to see if there is reduced irritation since we started tapping on this issue. He also sent me an email saying his rotator cuff was looser and less painful.
[One post removed at the request of the group member for confidentiality reasons]
Finally, “Bart” asked us to help him energetically find a solution to fixing an amplifier he is trying to fix. This problem has been solved by him many times in the past but the repair seemed to be elusive so he asked us to clean with him on it and tap to allow the inspiration to flow so he could get the amp fixed. We are all looking forward to a report on this problem. It would be fun if he just woke up with the answer the next morning…we’ll let you know.
A good time was had by all. We look forward to seeing you all this Tuesday at 7. Try to be on time so we don’t have to run down to the locked door too often. Remember, everyone is welcome and please bring a friend or two.
an Open Letter to the governor.
Dear Governor Christie, I grew up in New Jersey and graduated from Governor Livingston Regional in Berkeley Heights. I have lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia since 1976. I watched, with great interest, your interview with Piers Morgan. I am a left leaning liberal democrat and am grateful you are not running for president in 2012 as I believe you would give President Obama a run for his money. You are likeable and ring true to me and that truth would be evident to the American people. To my point: You stated your biggest personal problem is your weight. I am in a position to guarantee you I can help you help yourself to lose weight without any medical intervention or stringent diet changes. Diets don’t work because they don’t address the emotional issues behind why we over eat and/or under exercise. I am on a mission to introduce Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to as many people as possible before I die. This technique has grown quickly over the past 15 years because it works and new research supports it’s efficacy. Weight loss is a small part of the success story of EFT. How many soldiers live on the streets of Newark and Elizabeth who suffer from PTSD. EFT is the most effective treatment there is for PTSD and I have documentary evidence to prove it. Please sir, I may not agree with all your politics but we need people like you to make a difference in the World. Take responsibility for your physical health, do it in a non threatening way and then feel comfortable to advocate for EFT for PTSD and a thousand other maladies that your constituents suffer from. I am at your service.
