Just a Rock

I was talking with a friend recently about the fact that every single awful thing that ever happens to a person inevitably contributes to their growth as a person.  We were discussing the old adage:  That which does not kill me makes me stronger and I came up with my own new adage:

If a diamond wasn’t abused, it would just be a rock.  Kiya Immergluck

In a couple of weeks, I will be doing a fundraiser walk for Breast Cancer research.  I am a 15 year survivor who is eternally grateful that I have survived and thrived after that awful experience.  I often think how much easier my experience might have been if I knew back then about tapping techniques.

Believe me, I had plenty of other difficult experiences in my life that helped to sharpen the edges of my “diamond-in-the-rough” self, but cancer was probably the deepest facet of all.  I wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone (including myself), but the fact remains that I grew and matured as a direct result of that life-and-death chapter of my life.

Here are some of the ways I would have used tapping to ease the stress of that experience:

1. I would have tapped as soon as I found a lump in my breast:  Even though I have this lump in my breast…
2. When the doctor told me that the lump had to be removed surgically, I could have tapped again.
3. When the doctor announced that it was cancer, I could have eased my terror by tapping.
4. I might have been able to stop or slow down the negative effects of chemo by tapping.
5. I could have tapped to get past any fears that I was going to die from this cancer.

So, all you great diamonds out there, know that hard things often happen in life and that tapping can ease the pain even while you are becoming a lovelier and lovelier diamond.

My interview on Cable TV about tapping is on YouTube. The half hour show is shown in 3 segments on YouTube. Check it out:

I was interviewed last night for Inner Quest, a Cable Access TV show in the Chicago area.  I loved getting a chance to share about the wonderful world of tapping.  I mentioned Meridian Tapping Techniques, the new umbrella term that includes all of the latest innovations in Energy Psychology that use acupressure points.  I will be talking a lot more about these exciting innovations in the months to come.

As soon as my TV show is put on the Internet, I will send everyone a link so you can watch it.  And then my wonderful “cable guy,” Boris will put it right on my website.

A lot of exciting things are coming up in October, so stay tuned.  On October 11th, I will be teaching a Tapping Techniques Workshop for Kids and Caregivers. The details are below.  On October 18th, I will participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk to raise money for cancer research. And on October 24th, I will teach an all-day workshop on Meridian Tapping Techniques in Chicago, Illinois.

This coming weekend begins the Jewish New Year, 5760.  Whether you are Jewish or not,  I think the Fall always represents a time of new beginnings.  May this Fall be a time of new hope and beginnings for all of us.

Blessings,

Kiya

A friend just sent me this wonderful quote from Wayne Dyer’s “Power of Intention.”  It seems obvious to me that the tapping tool I love to share with the world provides a concrete, effective engine to propel people towards more positive thinking.

Isn’t it amazing that the title of that famous old book, “The Power of Positive Thinking” by Norman Vincent Peale is now a favorite topic with scientists who explore Quantum Physics?  I don’t pretend to understand a thing about Physics of any kind but I do believe that we can heal ourselves and our planet by becoming more optimistic and refusing to run our lives based on fear.

I believe that negativity is a bad habit similar to smoking.  We all know on some level that it is bad for us, but we just can’t seem to stop.  Tapping will definitely help anyone to get rid of fear and negativity.  And with Pat Carrington’s Choices Method, a lifelong “negativity addiction” can be changed very quickly and replaced with a tendency to look on the bright side of things.

Wayne Dyer’s quote shows how enormously powerful that shift away from negative thinking can be for us and for our world.  Happy Tapping!

Be sure to contact me before the end of September to set up my “two-for-one” telephone sessions.  You can extend your sessions into October, but you must make an appointment with me in September in order to get the discount.  Call: (773) 880-5492 or e-mail me at:  kiya@eft-tap.com. 

Here’s Wayne Dyer’s quote:

Whatever others want, want it for them so strongly that you disperse this energy outward and act from this level of spiritual consciousness.

Consider this:  

One individual with the energy of optimism and the willingness to be non-judgmental counterbalances the negativity of 90,000 people.

One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of love and reverence for all life counterbalances the negativity of 750,000 people.

One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of illumination, bliss, and infinite peace counterbalances the negativity of 10,000,000 people.

One individual who lives and vibrates to the energy of grace, pure spirit beyond the body counterbalances the negativity of 70,000,000 people.   Wayne Dyer

I am excited to tell you about an upcoming Webinar geared toward women who want to find their true soul mate. A dear friend and colleague of mine, Alina Frank is offering the EFT portion of this unique class. Alina and I have taught many workshops together in Chicago and Seattle and teleclasses for people around the world. She is a gifted practitioner and trainer.

When she told me about this program called “Right Mate for You,” I knew that it would be a wonderful opportunity for single women of all ages to learn how to attract a loving, lasting romantic relationship. Unlike most other programs that introduce a woman to potential “dates,” this program actually trains women how to find their own dates (and mates).

Go to the website and read the testimonials. The class has a very high success rate with graduates getting married and staying married. If you or someone you know is frustrated with the dating world, send them to this site.

In the past, this course was only offered as a live workshop in the Chicago area. Now, anyone can sign up for the Webinar from anywhere on the planet.

If you are interested in this class, but aren’t ready to make the commitment, give me a call. Don’t forget, I am offering two-for-one tapping sessions throughout the month of September. No matter what kind of issues you may be dealing with, tapping can help. Call me at: (773) 880-5492.
