I am excited to share with you that I will be teaching an EFT Workshop in Chicago on March 19 and 20, 2011.  I will cover all the Basics so that you can use this powerful tool for yourself.  The class will be from 10 AM until 1 PM on that Saturday and Sunday.

I am calling it “EFT Basics Plus” because I have learned so many new techniques and innovations since I first taught EFT workshops over 5 years ago.  If you have ever taken a Basic EFT class from me, I promise that you will learn some new and useful tools besides getting a great review. 

The cost for the 6 hour workshop is only $125, but if you want to give yourself an early Valentine’s Day Gift, sign up and pay a non-refundable $25 deposit by February 14th and only pay $100!

Learn how to stay calm in all kinds of stressful situations:  traffic, dealing with your boss, getting on an airplane, public speaking, taking exams and much, much more.  EFT can also give you relief from physical aches and pains. 

If you haven’t already, watch the 7 minute introductory video on my website: www.eft-tap.com.  You will see a man who was using a wheel chair do jumping jacks!

If you don’t live in Chicago, or can’t make the workshop, don’t forget that you can have a phone or SKYPE session with me from anywhere in the world.  E-mail me at:  kiya@eft-tap.com or call:  (773) 593-5492.

Recently, I got a fabulous testimonial from a colleague of mine who was promoting me to two other colleagues. She said:  “Kiya has a ton of energy, a sharp and creative mind, a big heart and a personality that puts the three of us to shame.”

That certainly made my day!  Try praising someone this week—it’s win-win for everyone!

As long as I can remember, the idea of “New Year’s Resolutions” has been treated as a joke by comedians. People make great promises to themselves and usually break them within weeks, or even days of making them.

I think it’s time to try something different. With the help of tapping, I want to encourage people to seek “solutions” instead of “re-solutions.”

Here’s my idea: I propose that we all take some time going into this new decade to look back at the last year, or even the last ten years, and first acknowledge the good stuff. It is so easy to emphasize the negative: the lousy economy; annoying relatives and bosses; bad weather; bad traffic—the list goes on and on.

Instead, search for the little gems that make life more interesting, and do a tapping sequence to bolster those positive memories. Here’s an example from my own experience:

(KARATE CHOP; EYE BROW; SIDE OF EYE; UNDER EYE; UNDER NOSE; CHIN; COLLAR BONE; UNDER ARM; RIB CAGE; WRISTS; TOP OF HEAD.)

A little trick I learned years ago really helps me to remember the positive. Now that I have my good list, I can give myself permission to complain about 2010 (as long as I tap along with it). The trick is to make a negative statement and then make a positive statement right next to it. The key word is the word “AND.”

The two statements don’t have to be even slightly related, but the message is simple: “Yes, this negative thing happened in my life AND some good things happened too.”

Here is another sample tapping sequence from my own experiences of 2010:

Try this method and see if acknowledging what was positive last year gives you a “solution” for next year.

Happy New Year,

Kiya

How often I have forgotten the “thank” in Thanksgiving.  As usual, I see how tapping helps me transcend my negative “monkey mind” and moves me into a state of gratitude.

It is so easy to think of dozens of things to be UN-thankful for:  the economy, the weather, lousy relationships, lack of relationships, feeling too fat or too skinny or too old—the list goes on and on.

Just bundle all the complaints together and tap them away.  Then, spend a little time alone on this holiday and think about some things you can sincerely be thankful for.  Don’t forget the little, tiny things that are precious, but so easily forgotten:  the baby who smiled and waved at me at a restaurant; laughing with a friend over something entirely ridiculous; giving my sandwich to a homeless man; getting into a tight pair of jeans; feeling the warm sun on my face on an otherwise cold day, etc.

Of course, I’m also thankful for the big blessings in my life:  a lovely home, great friends and family, my health and work that I love.

What are you thankful for?  I suggest thinking about it today and every day.  I wish you a happy, healthy and thankful Thanksgiving.

Blessings,

Kiy

 I hope that you will sign up for our wonderful series of free teleclasses starting Thursday, August 19, 2010 at 8 PM Central Time.  Go to www.ProjectGivingHope.com and sign up.  You will be sent an e-mail with all of the instructions for calling in to the workshops.

The focus of this series is about cancer patients, caregivers and anyone impacted by cancer.  So, everyone is welcome.  Six worldwide tapping experts (including me) will be offering informative workshops every Thursday and Tuesday until the end of September (for a total of 13 teleclasses).

This week, I will be co-leading the first Pre-Class to introduce everyone to our series and to tapping.  Then, on Tuesday, August 24, 2010, I will be the keynote speaker for our first official workshop.  I will be talking about my own personal experience as a survivor of breast cancer 16 years ago.  I will point out the many ways that tapping would have been a great healing resource for me (if I knew about it 16 years ago).

Every teleclass will be recorded, so you will be able to listen in to any class that you might miss.  If you have any questions about our series, or you would like to set up a live, telephone or SKYPE session with me, please call: (773) 880-5492 or e-mail me at: kiya@eft-tap.com.  

Last week I tapped with a volunteer on an EFT Radio show and the host told me that she got the best response ever to the show.

I talked about my technique called “Revenge Tapping” that allows a person to safely vent their anger towards a person and move in the direction of letting it go.

People commented that they “fell on the floor laughing.”  Please listen in.  I’d love to know what you think.

I was so delighted recently when a friend and colleague, Christine Kolenda told me about a technique she uses with her coaching clients that involves bottles of water. I am one of those practitioners that insists that my tapping clients drink plenty of water before, during and after each session. It is my experience that people do tend to get dehydrated when they tap.

My friend Christine was inspired by the illustrated book, Messages from Water by Dr. Masura Emoto. Dr. Emoto attached positive words and prayers to small water sample containers and then showed photos of their beautiful snow flake-like water crystals under a microscope. Samples of water with negative words produced distorted, misshapen crystals.

Here is a quotation I found on-line about the book:

From Dr. Masaru Emoto’s work we are provided with factual evidence, that human vibrational energy, thoughts, words, ideas and music, affect the molecular structure of water, the very same water that comprises over seventy percent of a mature human body and covers the same amount of our planet. Water is the very source of all life on this planet, the quality and integrity are vitally important to all forms of life.

Christine has her clients put a “post-it note” on a bottle of water with a word or phrase that represents their positive thought for the day. So, while drinking water and tapping and going about the business of your day, you are drinking in that positive thought.

Since we tend to drink more than one bottle of water a day, you can transfer the same note from bottle to bottle, or put a different sentiment on each bottle. My suggestion is to tap on the word when you first start drinking the water.

If my word for the day is “Prosperity,” I might tap:

EYEBROW: I choose to drink in ‘prosperity’ today.

SIDE OF EYE: I choose to think of prosperity every time I drink my water.

UNDER EYE: I choose to have a prosperous day.

UNDER NOSE: I choose to notice prosperity all day.

CHIN: I choose to celebrate prosperity all day.

COLLAR BONE: I choose to create prosperity in all my interactions today.

UNDER ARM: I choose to project prosperity all day.

RIBCAGE: I choose to enoy prosperity all day.

WRISTS: I choose to believe I am prosperous today.

TOP OF HEAD: I choose to engage in prosperous thoughts today.

What a great way to start my day. Since the name of my practice is “T.A.P.” for “Transcending All Problems,” I encourage everyone to drink in T.A.P. Water with encouraging words this week. Let me know how it works for you.

I will be interviewed on an EFT radio show with Alina Frank on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 talking about “Revenge Tapping,” my technique for venting anger without hurting anyone. You’ll enjoy it! Be sure to listen in or get the recording by following the link below:
