What do you think happened?

RBrown — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 04:16:37 GMT

Hi all,

I'm new to the forums, but not so new to EFT. I found EFT several years ago through a youtube video.

Anyhow, back in the early 90's I came in contact with a book called Science and Health with Key to The Scriptures (Christian Science) by Mary Baker Eddy. I was fascinated to learn what this woman was sharing. In fact her life was fasinating. So, I started applying the princples taught in the book and even took something called Class Instruction that helps individuals learn and apply the principles on a deeper level. My life was wonderful, happy and I was attracting all kinds of stuff all the time. I even had several physical healings. I had a job I was fairly happy with. My sister and I had a gift basket business that was doing REALLY well. But in the late 90's I started to explore other things that seemed to be in line with what I was already involved with. Shortly thereafter, things started to go down hill and seems that my entire life has been spiraling out of control every since.

Although I made some changes in my life, it didn't seem to be enough to create such a negative outcome. My partner and I started a new business that we were passionate about and no matter what we do, we can't seem to make it work out for us.

We both started using EFT for Abundance and even purchased a lot of Carol Look's material. We follow along religiously with her material and tap daily, but nothing seems to change. We work almost around the clock in our business and still don't see not much progress. I can't get to the place of feeling anything using EFT, let alone anything from a 1-10. I simply feel nothing.

I've read so many times that when things are not happening for you, that you have some blocks to overcome, but how do you overcome them, if you don't know what they are? Then you read other places to hire a Practitioner (I did do that once, but still felt nothing). And now I'm to a point where I can't afford to hire a Practitioner. So my question is, what do you think happened? Why was I so successful and happy during the first part of my life? Did I not have the blocks then and acquired them later? And why can't I feel anything while using EFT? Why is EFT not working for me?

Thanks for listening and any advice is welcomed.

What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

EFT is amazing — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 19:41:37 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've been working with EFT for a few months and stumbled on it while working with 'The Secret.' One of the things that is mentioned is to set your goals and see/feel them as if you have already obtained it. Well, I chose to win 100 million in the lottery. For me this is an amazing amount of money and I can do all of the wonderful things that I want to do right off of the bat (i.e. improve my health, offer my Massage Therapy/Reiki/Acupressure servcies for free to people who truly need them without the worry if they can afford it, help make my family and friends, who always believed in me, lives a little easier, even people I haven't even met yet, etc.).

Now I realize some people view abundance differently and it just might mean increasing your clients if you are a business owner or just pay off a loan. But with that being said am I starting out too big? I've been working on all of my money issues and feel good about my progress. I even bought two of the same numbered lottery tickets in the same drawing and won $14. It is definitely a step in the right direction, but how do I build off of that? I am almost done with the first set of dvds and I find them fascinating. Gary and Adrienne are awesome, as well as the brave people who go through all those things on stage and in front of a camera!!! However, if they are working on emotional/physical feelings there is an immediate change, which I've also felt using this technique, but what about money? Other than the fact that money will show up at some point (minutes, hours, days, months, or even years) is there any other noticable change?

Thank you for reading this and I hope you're having a wonderful day!!!!

Alex =)

Re: 10 Most Common Abundance Busting Beliefs

Paul:

You have brought a wonderful enhancement to our community here. I appreciate your openness and clarity. I agree in that I have seen that when you boil down the common thread in all my clients issue surrounding money and prosperity it is a "not-deserving" . Funny (not making fun, but in a rememberance when I use to do the same) to listen to the stories and how they do not accept total responsibility in their lives. While they think that their circumstances are what is preventing prosperity, they are in fact withholding it from themselves.

I say this not in a judgemental manner...wouldn't you agree that when we have not come to terms with our own "writing on the walls" as Gary like to call it, that we find reasons, excuses and "our reality" as to the WHY?

I gently and lovingly invite everyone to start with the basic even if it is global tapping on your own prosperity, even if you think you have it good-you will find there is more to clear and how wonderful is that...we can give ourselves the gift of clearing these things that we may have picked up on the journey of life.

Your own success with EFT is determined by your ability to take the time to tap to clear on a regular basis.

Hi Paul,

Fantastic post and a very thorough list! Two more things I often come across with clients are;

1 - "I won't fit in any more."

Feeling we will be judged and/or shunned (rejected) by family, friends, piers, community etc. if we improve our current income/financial situation. This is a safety issue and if the belief is not shifted we will do everything to sabotage ourselves financially... lose money, give it away, procrastinate, make unwise decisions etc.

2 - "If I make more money it will just get spent! Something always comes up when I have extra cash!"

This might be the person themselves i.e. unexpected bills arrive when there is extra or a spouse finds a way to spend it. I've heard so many times... "Part of me just doesn't feel like bringing in extra money because my wife/husband will just spend it!"

Thanks for starting this thread! Karen

Re: 10 Most Common Abundance Busting Beliefs

Philip Davis — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:26:26 GMT

Hi Paul,

Thanks for sharing that information. That is very useful.

I have run abundance workshops and found similar results to yours. Of course there are a lot more beliefs out there in peoples minds as well as those you mentioned.

I think perhaps the 2 I would add to your list are....

1. There is not enough to go round.
2. What about the starving in Africa? If I have more, they have less.

These are both similar thoughts stated in different ways.

It will be interesting to see what other limiting beliefs people come up with here.

Blessings and Love

Here's to an abundant you! - Karen

7 Ways to Tap on Gratitude... to Boost Abundance

Thank you for asking such a great question. Gratitude is a very important part of allowing and attracting more abundance into our life. Practicing the art of intentional gratitude on a regular basis really is like... super charging abundance!

Also, going to sleep with positive thoughts and feelings around being grateful allows us to sleep more deeply and peacefully. I find when I tap on gratitude just prior to falling asleep, I wake up feeling much more energized and rejuvenated.

EFT is very flexible and there are lots of different ways you can tap on topic or subject. Here are 7 pre-sleep gratitude tapping approaches -- A variety of methods;

To really focus and connect before doing gratitude tapping or any type of EFT take a moment to ground your self or do take a moment to do an EFT Breathing technique such as this one;

http://www.tapintoeft.com/eft-tap-breathe/default.html

7 Ways to Tap on Gratitude to Boost Abundance

1 - Use the set up and karate chop (you can come up with your own statements)

KC - ET I sometimes forget to express gratitude throughout the day... IDACAMS
KC - ET I may overlook the abundance that is around me each and every day... I choose to express my gratitude now
KC - ET at times, I take things for granted... I want to express how grateful I am right here... right now

TH - I am grateful for___________ (use the same statement/subject for each point or you can mix them up - however, try to keep it simple if you are new to EFT)
EB - Thank you for ____________
SE - I appreciate ______________
UE - I have gratitude for ________
UN - I give thanks for __________
CH - I have appreciation for______
CB - Thank you for ___________
UA - I am grateful for _________

Take a slow deep breath and allow what you said and felt to flow through your entire body. Repeat or change rounds as you see fit.

2 - Skip the set up... and just tap the body points.

3 - Mental or imaginary tapping. Say the statements quietly while you imagine tapping the points. This works great when you are too tired to lift your hand/arm.

4 - Just tap one point i.e. the karate chop or collar bone while saying the gratitude statements or affirmations.

5 - Finger tip tapping. Lightly tap the tips of your right hand with the tips on your left. There are points on the ends of the fingers.

6 - One handed or single hand tapping. Use the thumb of one hand to tap on or just press the points on each finger of the same hand. For the left hand the thumb would tap or press on the right side of each finger nail.

7 - As you lay on your back in bed rest your hands gently on your upper lap. Start with the little finger on either hand, press the finger tip down and say a gratitude statement then proceed in sequence with all of your fingers

Example; little finger left hand: I am grateful for my curious nature - ring finger left hand: thank you for all of the opportunities in my life to express my creativity - middle finger left hand: I so appreciate learning new things - pointer left hand: I am grateful for my company where I can create and innovate etc... all the way over to the little finger on the right hand. This would be 10 gratitude statements.

Gratitude tapping or any type of EFT tapping need not be complicated, especially when you first start learning. You can pick just one topic/subject to be grateful for and repeat it for all of the body points or finger tips.

Remember to include gratitude for non-physical things as well as the physical -- Things such as creativity, curiosity, wonder, love, imagination, expression, wisdom, humor, freedom of choice etc.

Its important to connect to your body (specifically your heart) and breath slowly and fully while you are gratitude tapping. This helps the message get through to every cell in your body and beyond! :)

Thank you for inspiring me to write this piece!

Re: Not sure how to do this - WOW... Money Sharks!!!!!

Karen Nauman — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:15:19 GMT

Hi JC,

GOOD WORK!

Nice find around the 'money sharks'? Who would want to have money sharks after them, especially if any of them are family or friends... its way safer just to not have money ;) An excellent limiting belief to tap on. Remember to put lots of choices and "I've decided" statements i.e;

Even though my dad's prosperity attracted money sharks... I've decided the my abundance will manifest differently

Even though my dad had boundary issues... I choose to stand in my power and at the same time be a wise and gentle person to those around me

Even though I feel a bit nervous thinking about saying no to some people who might ask for money... I realize that with some no's, will come many yes's... I choose to make my decisions from a grounded, self assured and loving place

Also, I REALLY like the way you put it as; "Advantages" and Aversions" Very helpful.

Thanks for the update. Karen

Re: Not sure what to tap on - Attracting Financial Abundance

Karen Nauman — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:46:34 GMT

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your note! Give yourself a BIG hug for being open to doing this type of abundance work! It is pretty advanced stuff BUT it will produce amazing results for you!

When it comes to wanting more success financially, most people play around for months or even years with all kinds of attracting abundance process' and games. They construct vision/goal boards, do endless EFT tapping with abundance and money affirmations, carry non-cashable $1,000,000 cheques in their wallets, watch The Secret Movie for the 17th time! etc.

Then they start to get depressed and lose faith in EFT and the Law of Attraction because no abundance has come their way. Many times they are even more down in the dumps emotionally and maybe even more in debt than they were when they started! This makes things worse because they usually give up totally.. saying; "THIS STUFF DOES NOT WORK!"

I'm not saying these attracting abundance exercises aren't good to do... they are effective! But most times it is not the first thing to do. The problem is, these folks didn't remove or shift their resistance to their desired financial prosperity before taking all these 'action steps'.

They did not know they needed to or didn't want to discover and tap on their subconscious limiting beliefs behind money, success and abundance. This is what actually raises our vibration which attracts the abundance to us... not all the action!

Its the energetic blocks and counter beliefs that keep us from manifesting what we want in life... not the lack of doing i.e. launching yet another attracting abundance exercise, game or round of EFT abundance tapping!

I realize that part of us thinks doing the inner work is just too much trouble and not as much fun as the abundance games however, even small steps in this department will reap HUGE results. :)

When we use EFT to raise our vibration to level that will attract more abundance, we begin to have inspired action. We get hunches or guidance on when to buy and sell on the stock market or money markets. Then the action is guidance inspired not fear driven.

Sarah, be very gentle and kind to yourself with this important realization you've had i.e. tears coming up when you read my post with suggestions on how to discover *your* blocks to abundance.

It is a pretty heavy duty, yet very revealing exercise. It may take you a bit of time to actually settle into doing it. Something like this cannot be pushed or else the primitive mind 'Sarah's inner protector' will lock up and sabotage again.

If you are procrastinating then its likely there is something else you may need to tap on even before starting with this! Working with this energy is a very BIG deal to the 'stuck' parts of you that have remained undercover for likely many, many years.

Let me know what happens or if you get bogged down with anything. Also, let me know if you have a common theme or two coming up around this work. I can probably give you some insight/direction on it.

When you do the writing, again be gentle with yourself. If any uncomfortable feelings come up for you when you are answering the 'abundance block' questions, tap on these feelings right then. Or just do the EFT breathing technique I mentioned to you last time.

Do not go back to it until you have calmed yourself enough and it feels okay to continue . It would not be beneficial to get even more of the heavy energy associated with this topic... stuck in your body :)

Re: Not sure what to tap on - Attracting Financial Abundance

Karen Nauman — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:48:28 GMT

Hi Sarah,

When we get stopped dead in our tracks like this and start self sabotaging our self, there is almost always a safety issue at the root of it.

The main job of our primitive mind which is part of our subconscious is to preserve and protect us.

If being financially abundant means your survival will be threatened in some way (I know this sounds strange but its true)... it will do everything to stop you from moving forward in this area. This is the self sabotage behaviour.

You can tap on the uncomfortable feelings that come up i.e fear or sickness when you look at the charts on your computer and see if anything comes up OR you can do some detective work first.

Here are a few probing questions to ask yourself;

Before answering the questions take a moment to ground and focus yourself to connect to your guidance/intuition. You might try this 'easy-to-learn' EFT breathing technique; http://www.tapintoeft.com/eft-tap-breathe/

1) What is the downside to having financial abundance? - Sounds like a funny question but really take time to think about it. Would it change your group of friends? Would someone be jealous of you or feel threatened i.e. a sibling, partner/spouse or parent? Would you be outdoing someone? Would you be cast out of or shunned by a social group? Would you be going against a family rule? Would you be replaying a painful experience in your past or that of your family? i.e. a big gain followed by a loss so its safer not to gain too much.

2) What is the upside to *not* becoming financially abundant and successful? - Things like; Then you can finally relax and won't have more expectations placed on you by others. - You can prove someone wrong or right etc. i.e. someone close to you said; "You'll never make it"!... 'What a bad/silly idea that is"... "You should be doing better at that".

3) What might change if you were to become more financially abundant? - Again, look at friends, family, community, status, career etc.

4) What do you avoid by not being successful and not having financial abundance? - Would you avoid more responsibility i.e. having more financial obligation. Would you be expected to always contribute at a higher level from now on and that's too much pressure for you?

5) What is made better by not dealing with this problem and moving forward?

6) What happened the last time you (or your family) had money, financial success or success of any kind? - Was it a pleasing experience or was it limiting, scary, painful?

Take time and write the answers down. This information will give you lots of material to tap on. You'll also see a theme that will help you narrow your focus towards a particular subject or set of limiting beliefs - This will speed up the process for you.

The main thing you want to accomplish is to make sure your inner protector or primitive mind is no longer being put on alert by you moving towards success, abundance or financial gain. This is why we need to discover and tap on old beliefs/programming before we install new positive messages. You are already aware of this and that's a HUGE part of it!

Wishing you much success and abundance! Karen

Re: Does Financial Abundance Take Longer? VIBRATION is the Answer...

Karen Nauman — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:26:17 GMT

Hello Nightcats!

With each subject in our life, including financial abundance... we have a particular mental and emotional state of being or a vibration.

From my studies of the Law of Attraction, here's what I believe makes up our vibration. Vibration = Focus + Thought + Emotion

Our vibration varies from low to high based on what we focus our attention on... PLUS what we think about what we are focusing on... PLUS how this subject makes us feel.

If our thoughts and feelings about money and abundance are on the low end of the scale, so will the physical evidence be i.e. what we manifested in your life.

We need to begin by making a conscious effort to notice our thoughts and feelings about money. Many of the thoughts we have around something like money are subconscious and they need to be exposed.

Most of us got a lot of mixed messages about money when we grew up.

Discover Blocks to Abundance

Take a moment to ground yourself and access your inner self. To really connect, you might try an exercise like this EFT breathing technique - http://www.tapintoeft.com/eft-tap-breathe/

Now, on a piece of paper write... "Rich people ___________" Then come up statements or judgments you can remember from growing up in your family. Things your parents, grandparents or siblings said such as;

Rich people...

- are unhappy

- have to step on the little guy to get wealthy

- only have friends because of their money

- are not nice people

- have to work so hard

- are greedy

- buy the love of others

- work a lot harder

- are too serious

This will bring up some is great primitive mind/subconscious safety issues to tap on i.e. I don't want to break my back working to get rich! - I don't want to lose my current friends and have only ones who hang around for my money. - I don't want to be unhappy or not be nice.... etc.

These limiting beliefs are what we need to tap on to move towards the financial abundance we deserve. :)

I hope this helps.

Happy and abundant tapping to you! Karen
