Dear Tapper,

It’s that time of year again: lots of parties, family get-togethers, decorations and good cheer–or not! In my experience, I find a lot more people who are stressed out during this holiday season than people who are joyful about it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the eagerness and anticipation of a child in relation to this time of year? I wish that for you, and everyone you love.

If you’d like to give a special gift to someone who could use an “emotional massage,” why not give them an EFT telephone or SKYPE session with me? You can purchase gift certificates for yourself and others at the special rate of “2-for-1.” Call or e-mail me to reserve your gift certificates and I will mail or e-mail a certificate to anyone in the world. My usual fee for a phone session is $130 per hour, but you can buy as many certificates as you wish (before January 1, 2012) for $65 a piece.

Concentrate on what’s good in your life, and tap away the rest. May this holiday be truly merry for you.

Blessings,

Kiya

Everything that happens in your life today will either appear negative or positive. Keep in mind whatever happens must have a positive side to it. A large majority of the population seems to be mentally programmed to pay attention to the negative side of life and unfortunately, ignore the positive. Make a decision right now that, regardless of what happens today, you are going to look for the positive aspect of what’s happening. Remember… every cloud has a silver lining. Do this again tomorrow and the next day until it becomes a habit to see the positive in everything. You will feel better, you will be more productive, and you will have more friends.

Bob Proctor

Bob Proctor is right, of course. We seem to be a society firmly entrenched in the “glass is half empty” approach to life. What’s funny to me is that whenever I challenge a person not to “awfulize” about how terrible the future is going to be, I inevitably get some variation on the answer: “I’m just being realistic!”

Look at that glass again. You can realistically say that it is half-empty, but it is equally realistic to say that it is half-full.

When I read the above quote, my first reaction was: “easier said than done.” Almost immediately, I realized that our wonderful tool, EFT can make it a lot easier to see the positive side of things.

Since most of us seem to be hard-wired to go for the negative, it can seem to be almost impossible to shift gears. With tapping, you get to complain all you want while you tap away the fears, doubts, and insecurities that keep you away from the positive aspects of any situation.

Here’s a Bundling Baggage example for the holidays. (Bundling Baggage is an advanced EFT technique developed by Master Practitioner, Lindsay Kenny that takes a general recurring life theme and allows the person to express different aspects on each tapping point. It can be a wonderful shortcut for getting rid of on-going negative expectations).

I have worked with many clients who “hate the entire holiday season.” Some people extend that time period from Thanksgiving all the way through Valentine’s Day. We start by allowing the person to vent on and on about how awful this holiday is going to be:

(Karate Chop; Eye Brow; Side of Eye; Under Eye; Chin; Collar Bone; Under Arm; Under Breast; Wrists; Top of Head).

After just a few rounds of exaggerating all the anticipated doom and gloom about the holidays, most people are able to laugh at themselves and lighten up a little. Then, it becomes very easy for the person to suddenly see the half-full glass. Then, all the positive aspects can come bubbling up to the surface.

I wish you and yours a very happy, full-glass holiday.

Don’t forget to call or e-mail me to purchase your half price EFT gift certificates for any of your stressed out friends: 773-880-5492 or kiya@eft-tap.com.

Blessings,

Kiya
