Hello Everyone
Well you are going to read about the Conference in this magazine so I wont go into too much detail here except to say Im overwhelmed with all the positive feedback from attendees and presenters. Everyone obviously had a great time meeting people and learning along the way. AAMET International is truly emerging as the most attractive EFT Association to belong to. A lot of changes are also being made to our Training Programmes and by the time you read this, the new information should be available on the website. The documents on the website will clarify the changes.

HELENA FONE

We are also working on developing a newsletter to give further news on developments and we are collating all your questions and making them available to Trainers on the website. We now have a new Facebook page for EFT Trainers and Supervisors. The EFT Research Team have had a meeting and I will invite them to provide us with updates that we can share with you. The website will be undergoing another facelift to provide you all with useful downloads and there will be an area for you to advertise your EFT products and services. Im feeling the cold in the UK, having come from the lovely warmth of Gozo where I was surprised to find they too celebrate Halloween mainly with fancy dress parties. I recently discovered that Halloween originated from Ireland (where my parents were born). Countries around the world celebrate it differently. In the UK children get dressed up in costume and knock on doors for trick or treats. In China its known as Ten Chieh and they place food and water beneath the photos of departed family members.They then light lanterns and bonfires to light up the path so spirits can travel the earth. In Spanish speaking countries, alters are adorned with fruit, flowers, water for the spirits. A bowl of water and a towel is left out for the spirits to wash before the feast. In Germany knives are hidden to avoid harm from returning spirits. In France it has only become popular in the last 15years. In Czechoslovakia a chair for each living member of the family and a chair for each family members spirit is placed in front of the fireplace. Regardless of how you spend your Halloween, I hope you have a good one. I will go now but please remember to send in your stories or articles for our next magazine. With love

Please share the AAMET Life magazine with your friends/colleagues

Report: Trauma Buster Technique

Journal of Rehana Websters Trauma Buster Technique Workshops and Interventions in Pakistan May 2013
Arrived in Islamabad on 8th May and started an incredible adventure of delivering several TBT workshops and working with clients suffering from PTS (post traumatic stress) symptoms.

The Sindh Development Society invited me to work with the residents of Darulaman Women's Shelter which houses women labelled 'KARI' (the insidious tradition of honor killing). Asma bibi is the managing director of SDS, Kanwal Thebo, psychologist, Qudoos Memon, district officer and Makhdoom Hussain, High Court judge who is handling the gardening project. I was in Sukkur from 12-18 May and spent every day in sessions with the women and teaching TBT. Asma bibi and Kanwal were my official guides and translators as Sindhi is the dialect spoken here. We set up groups with team leaders to continue the TBT practice daily. The social worker from Sahil and the psychologist assigned to Darulaman will continue to monitor the progress and application of TBT at the shelter. What a great team dedicated to justice for women! The people of Sindh are mostly from the rural areas. They are generally poor with little education or literacy skills. It's amazing to think that most cities here have more people than the entire population of New Zealand which is 4 million. The society is comprised of clans or castes.The clans dont allow out marriages and therefore the majority of marriages are arranged by the families. There are 23 districts and 4 shelter homes servicing Sindh - 8 districts are covered by 1 6
AAMET

shelter. The maximum capacity for Darulaman is 30 residents and presently there are 50 women and 27 children crammed into the shelter, all referred by the Court. Young girls are married off (sold) to much older men and mistreated terribly. They are made to work in the fields, keep house, have babies and then burnt, beaten and abused. When they escape from their marriages by running away, their only hope is hiding in the Shelters or to face certain death by the hands of their families. There is little food, less power due to hourly blackouts and very little space - 6 small rooms to live in. One day the outside temperature was 47C and it was sweltering inside. Summer had barely begun. The government provides R9 per person, per day for food. R9 does not even pay for a cup of tea. In contrast the government gives $180 per person per day for people in jail. So you can imagine how this gardening project will help the residents. I gathered donations from friends and colleagues to start a gardening project at the shelter to help supplement food supplies for the residents and their children who are hungry and suffering from malnutrition. I felt that practical help was as valuable as teaching the residents how to use TBT. The project has been a huge success and the SDS members including the staff from the shelter have been involved hands on with the creation of this gardening center.

LIFE

AUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org

I have posted pictures on face book documenting the progress of the project. There are two pages, one under my name and another under Trauma Buster Technique. However, here are some more pictures for those of you who don't use face book. The use of TBT was an unprecedented success. The women were able to use the simple technique and noticed the relief they achieved from the various symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress.
(see www.traumabustertechnique.com for details)

Success rate: 100% for any clients treated for a particular PTS symptom. The theme of the events were: violent home invasions with armed intruders, knife attacks, etc. Other events were of gory accidents and bomb attacks. These are the conditions that people are living under because of the unrest in society and war conditions. One success that stands out is a medical doctor who was unable to work because of paranoid delusions experienced after a traumatic event. He was not able to leave his home for 3 years and had received treatment at the best hospital in Islamabad. His paranoia condition had become very severe and when I saw him he was visibly trembling and in a high state of anxiety. His family had brought him to see me in the hope that TBT would help. We had one TBT session which lasted 3 hours. At the end his sense of anxiety had fallen from 10++ to around 2. I instructed him to continue tapping 3 times daily and at any time he felt anxious or had negative thoughts. When I saw him 2 days later he was totally transformed. Why... because he he had been able to sleep for the first time in 3 years without feeling paranoid about being attacked in his home. He continued to get better and I receive regular feedback from him. When I return to Chitral he has expressed a desire to be the first certified TBT practitioner to open up a clinic there. ;-)

TBT workshops delivered in Islamabad: 1. TBT workshop at Sahil.org for staff members (psychologists and social workers) 21/5/13 2. TBT workshop for retired American School Teachers 31/5/13 3. TBT workshop for Behbud Society (staff members, social workers, psychologists, doctors) 1/6/13 4. TBT presentation to staff at Hafeez Naval Hospital for Trauma (Staff and psychologists) 2/6/13

Chitral (in the Hindu Kush and Himalayas) All workshops sponsored and organized by SGRM Pakistan (Sustainable Growth through Resource Management).
Very different society here. Rate of education among the young people is the highest in Pakistan. University degrees are common. However there are no jobs to sustain this highly educated population. There are several suicides monthly among the young women. Again it appears that the custom of arranged marriages is the key factor in the high suicide rate. Population suffering from anxiety and stress. TBT workshops delivered in Chitral: 1. TBT workshop at Kosht Agha Khan School (students, teachers and staff members) 25/5/13 2. TBT workshop at Booni Area School (students, teachers and staff members) 26/5/13 3. TBT workshop at University of Chitral (students, staff and psychology department) 29/5/13 4. TBT workshop at Chitral sponsored by Commissioner (police, staff and students from economics department) 27/5/13

I am so grateful to SDS for giving me the opportunity to work at the Darulaman Women's Shelter and to SGRM for hosting and organizing the workshops in the province of Chitral. Many thanks to all the hard work and commitment of everyone involved.

EFT Releasing FEAR OF FAILURE

by Konstandina Sandoriniou
www.raysofempowerment.com

AAMET

LIFE

AUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org

A common fear that stops people from being proactive is the fear of failure. How can we know that it is there? If there is something we would like to do and feel hesitant doing it, the question can rise as to why we are hesitant. One possible reason could be that we are afraid of failing and so we hesitate to take the next step, so we postpone indefinitely doing something about it. So, OK, we dont like to fail. Nobody does. However, why is there a fear of failure? Most likely this fear is there because of the unwanted emotions the experience of failure brings. There must be at least one incident in the past that involved the experience of failure in something. If you wish to deal with the fear of failure you can try and remember one of those incidents in the past which involved you failing in something or perhaps witnessing someone else failing and the consequences experienced by that. Did someone make fun of you? Or insulted you in front of others? Did others express their disappointment in you? Did they get angry at you, laughed at you or perhaps they showed joy with your failure? Or maybe they rejected you one way or the other? Events like these can instantly disrupt your energy field and cause unhealthy emotions. What sort of feelings did the experience of failure and the response to it created in you? Embarrassment? Disheartening? Sadness? Anger? Lack of self-worth? Anything else? If the memory of these events still causes you an intensity of such emotions, then they are wonderfully tappable issues. Here I would like to share with you generalised tap-alongs using EFT shortcuts, that you might find helpful in eliminating the fear of failure. For greater success, however, tap directly on the issues rising from specific events.

Check your intensity on the scale of 0 to 10 (10 = highest possible intensity). TH Point = Top of the head Start with the setup:: Even though, I have this fear of failure, I accept myself and the way I feel. Even though Im afraid to make a step forward, because I might fail and this would be devastating for me, I love myself and profoundly accept the way I am. Even though Im afraid to try something new because I dont want to experience failure if it doesnt work out, I honour my feelings and who I am. Even tough Im afraid to go out of my comfort zone because the unknown is scary, I totally accept myself and the way I feel.

Tap the points::

EB: This fear of failure. SE: This paralysing fear of failure. UE: This overwhelming fear of failure. UN: This anxiety from the fear of failing. CH: This fear of the new. CB: This fear of making a step forward. UA: This frightening experience of failure. TH: Im so afraid to fail again.good for your overall abundance picture.

Check again in the scale what your intensity is now and if it has not reached 0 carry on with the following setup::
Even though Im afraid to fail because it will prove - again - that Im not good enough, I choose to release these concerns now. Even though Im afraid to fail because I would again experience sorrow, I choose not to allow a failure determine who I am. Even though I fear failure because others will make fun of me or criticise me, I choose to remain uninfluenced by what others think, feel or say about me and my life.

Tap the points::

EB: Im afraid to fail SE: Failure brings pain. UE: Failure brings criticism. UN: Failure brings embarrassment. CH: Failure brings low self-esteem. CB: Im afraid to fail again. UA: Its too stressful to fail. TH: I cant handle failure.

And continue with another round of choices for releasing::

EB: I choose to release all fears. SE: I choose to release all pain. UE: I choose to release all limitations. UN: I choose to release all embarrassments. CH: I choose to release all dependencies. CB: I choose to release all sorrows. UA: I choose to release al criticism. TH: I choose to release my low self esteem.

Continue with one more round of positive choices::

EB: I choose to accept me. SE: I choose to accept my mistakes. UE: I choose to accept who I am. UN: I choose to try new things. CH: I choose to expand beyond my comfort zone. CB: I choose to trust myself and the Universe. UA: I choose to appreciate myself. TH: I choose to accept life I choose to be me I choose to be free. After these rounds, hopefully you would be able to experience at least some relief from the original intensity. For possible greater results you might like to consider working on specific events as I mentioned earlier and for deeper issues consider working with an EFT professional.

Horses at Public Event

I was invited to an Open Day Public Event by The Horse Whisperer Adam Shereston to demonstrate using EFT with horses. No pressure there then as I had been bitten badly a long time ago by an Arabian stallion and dragged several foot into the air and a torn blouse. So I was afraid of horses! I invited two Practitioners living close by and asked if they wanted to demonstrate with me. Unbeknown to me they were both somewhat nervous as they had a fear of horses too. This must have been synchronicity to have three of us with the same fear and delivering EFT to the public. So I suggested we all Skype together and we did mentoring and tapping around Fear of Horses. Jennifer Rahman had fallen from a horse which had badly shaken her in the past and Drew Ryder just thought they were such big creatures! After that session, we appeared to have lost our fear. Such is the amazing power of EFT but of course the Open Day with the horses would be the final test - oh! and not to mention public speaking which was the least of my worries.

DOSSIER EFT with Animals

Adam did his presentation of Horse Whispering and then we were on next with the beautiful Moonlight. As I was presenting on microphone to the public and tapping, I was explaining how to use EFT. All three of us slowly made our way towards Moonlight, tapping as we went. It looks strange but Moonlight was responding very well to the energy, her owner told us. Moonlight had occasional problems with her back leg when cantering which would then worsen. The owner had no idea why this was. We worked with surrogate and proxy tapping and had a sense it was her hip that was the issue and not the leg. The owner found this interesting as she felt that would make more sense to her. It was interesting to watch Moonlights energy shift and some of her signs that the owner pointed out that she was very relaxed with the tapping, in fact she said surprisingly so! We finished the demonstration and when the three of us regrouped afterwards, we all said what an amazing experience that it had been. We all absolutely adored Moonlight and felt a truly special connection with her. So not only do three of us lose our fear of horses but we finish the day on absolutely loving them! Adam was very impressed and delighted we had come so far in a short time by losing our fear then enjoying being with horses. It didnt strike me until I saw the photographs later that the white horses behind me (see previous picture) are a similar distance to when I was badly bitten and yet I had absolutely no concern whatsoever here. I tried to follow up on Moonlight but Adam, his partners and the horses were all moving from Spain. However, it was an incredible experience and one that I will never forget.

WOLF

I would love to share this story about tapping on a wolf. Dont worry it is a pet wolf dog!
Previously I have used tapping with my own dog Lucy, physically tapping on her and she responds really well and indeed loves tapping. My other dog doesnt like it, so I have to use surrogate tapping or The Energy Exchange Photo Technique* I developed.

and the Wolf

Our pets often take on our issues... our negative emotions and illnesses
My story goes as follows with a beautiful wolf pet named Shawnee. Her unusual name is derived from the Shoshone tribe in America. I was invited around to our new neighbours who had moved in next to us with their dog and cats. It was a lovely afternoon and we sat having cocktails and getting to know each other when I saw this most stunning creature in the doorway. This was Shawnee, their pet wolfdog. She was simply breathtaking and I couldnt take my eyes off her. The owner told me Shawnee was very ill and didnt think she was long for this world. She had a terrible limp & could hardly walk as she was trailing her back leg and had many epileptic fits. To add to this, two of her feline companions had recently passed away & she was missing them dreadfully. She laid down, head in paws and looked very sorry for herself generally. I couldnt stop looking at this beautiful animal. The owner was very interested in EFT and had never heard of it or used it. She asked if I would try some on Shawnee. I advised that not all dogs liked tapping physically and it may be surrogate but the owner insisted she would be OK to try out physical tapping. I must admit to some degree of trepidation when I laid flat on the floor beside her; eyeball to eyeball. The absolute sheer size of her was daunting yet her beautiful eyes were magnetic, especially at such a close distance. I asked permission of Shawnee if she minded if I tapped on her and was sorry she felt so ill but the tapping might just help her. I felt it was OK & the owner said it was OK to go ahead. I then proceeded to tap on the points, around the eyes, chest and under arm, similar to ourselves with the following phrases as if I was Shawnee: I am so low, I feel pretty bad I cant walk properly But Im a good dog & my owners love me I wish I could walk properly Or just a bit better I keep trailing my back leg & hobbling along I keep limping But Im a good girl, such a good girl I miss my friends so much (the two cats) Now they have gone forever & I wont see them again Im a good girl At this stage, I stopped tapping as I thought she may have had enough because I had a sense that she was very weak and tired. The owner walked me round their garden, looking at the plants & chatting. I have to be honest I was still drawn to Shawnee & noticed she staggered up from the ground and started following us around. I thought her walking looked a lot better but didnt comment as I had only just met everyone including Shawnee.
AAMET

Then the owners husband commented about Shawnees walking looking much better. She has definitely improved but not knowing her, I didnt know what her normal day was like. I was then invited to sit with the owner in her courtyard area and Shawnee came to sit near us & laid down. The owner asked me to try some more tapping and I said I would use surrogate. I asked the owner if she wanted to follow me tapping and she said she would. I tapped on myself and used similar phrases to before including her two cat companions. They both died after moving home and this is when Shawnees leg problem started. I continued tapping and something came up from Shawnee and she was very worried about her owner but I didnt vocalise it to the owner just yet. I didnt want to freak this lady out whom I had only just met! Intuitively it felt like the right thing to do at this stage. The owner tried some tapping with Shawnee. Shawnee, even though you are so ill and missing your friends, you are a good girl and I love you very much. I love you Shawnee & dont want you to go but it may be your time? The owner asked very quietly... Shawnee is it your time to pass? There was a very long pause, I didnt say anything & the owner was visibly shaken.

DOSSIER EFT with Animals

Still quiet, I waited and the owner said No I dont want to die yet, She asked me to continue for her and I picked up from Shawnee I want all the time and help I can get, I dont want to die, its not my time yet, its not my time, I want every bit of help from anyone. The owner found this very surprising as they had talked about euthanasia and again was visibly shocked. At this stage, I shared with the owner that something came up from Shawnee that I wanted to share with her if it was OK? I repeated what Shawnee had said earlier: There is something wrong with you mum, what is wrong? I am really worried about you, there is something seriously wrong isnt there? I need all the time in the world but for some reason you cant give it to me. You are worried, what is wrong? Again the owner looked more shocked and quiet, in fact couldnt speak. I waited... and said we didnt have to go any further if she didnt want to. She was actually quite annoyed in a defensive way at first saying that she did everything for Shawnee, she was top of her list even though she recently had lost her father. It became clear why she had reacted in this way. She became upset but said no that she would be OK in a couple of minutes and then explained that no one knew, not her best friends and only her husband that she had to go for a scan. She had a cancer scare and was very worried, in fact pre-occupied by it. She couldnt believe how I knew. I said I didnt know. It was Shawnees worry and a sense I had from Shawnee that she would lose her human mum as well as the friends she had recently lost. We finished tapping around this worry. I had to leave and travel to southern Spain, 5 hours drive away, the next day, so hadnt seen Shawnee although heard by email that she was doing really well for a few days following the tapping. Interestingly for three consecutive nights I was woken up early morning with Shawnees beautiful face seeking healing- she was asking me for healing. I tapped mentally for her whilst in bed. I couldnt get her out of my mind, so sent her surrogate tapping whenever I thought of her. I told the owners about my vision of Shawnee and tapping for her and they said her walking had improved dramatically. The tapping with Shawnee really had left an impression on me at this stage as I certainly didnt consider myself an animal communicator but it all happened very naturally and very unexpectedly.

Article: Tapping
Some months later following Shawnees huge improvement, I learned that she had deteriorated having 18 epileptic fits in two days. The owner asked me to help in any way even though I wasnt near them. I decided to use my Energy Exchange Photo Technique that I developed many years ago. I pulled up her photo on the computer screen and tapped on the points on the screen. Lucy my own dog of 9 years who loves tapping, was with me. Why not try surrogate tapping with her for Shawnee?! I took the lap top over with the photo of Shawnee, to where Lucy was sitting and asked if she would be willing to help tap and imagine she was Shawnee. I asked questions of Lucy as Shawnee for about 15 minutes and also tapped on Lucy and on myself and on Shawnees photo. We tapped similarly around her health and other issues and some interesting things came up. I asked via Lucy: How can we help you Shawnee? I heard Lucy reply as Shawnee Water Marie: Do you need water, do you want to swim? Lucy as Shawnee: Water Marie: I am not sure how to help with the water Shawnee but I will talk to your owners, is there anything else? Lucy Yes when I was 3 months old I was traumatised Marie: You were 3 months old, when you had a trauma? We had to stop as Lucy started barking at something outside! I then followed up with an email to the owners a couple of days later & told them about the exchange and I asked if Shawnee liked swimming. The owners said not really but she loved sitting in water. Two days ago she sat in the newly filled swimming pool. Something she loved to do. This was the exact same timing as Lucy told me water.

Lucy loves tapping and enjoys opening presents!

Maries notes:

My sessions were very impromptu and I went with the flow. This was the first time I had used another animal by proxy but why not? If the animal is willing, we do it with people. The whole article raises many issues about consent, surrogate tapping etc which leads to more discussion and debate. I have been asked how can you ask an animal for consent and how do you know they have answered? Follow your intuition which will develop the more you work with animals (and people). Whatever you hear is the answer. Additionally you can tell by an animals body language or if they move away from you that they have had enough or indeed too much energy if the animals system is depleted. You can find The Energy Exchange Photo Technique at www.eftspain.com/Owntechniques.html Or request a brochure from me on the techniques. Additionally there is a Podcast with full details you can listen to.

Two Cats and a

by Gwyneth Moss - EFT Master
Id like to share three very special and moving EFT experiences.
People often ask me if they can use EFT to help their pets. So I tell them yes. And because animals dont always like to be tapped on and because we may not be sure where their tapping points are, it is helpful to use surrogate tapping. Now, for some of us, especially those who are Reiki trained, the concept of healing at a distance is nothing new. And those with a homeopathy background are accustomed to treating animals. But for me with my scientific upbringing it always seemed a step too far to use EFT at a distance for an animal. And so it was with more than a little uncertainty that I built into my EFT workshops a group exercise to tap as surrogates for an animal. I need not have worried as the results have been little short of astounding. In each of these three amazing cases a group of 12 tapped together for a pet known only to one of them. The one who knew the pet acted as the pet (mentally stepped into the pets body) and I acted as therapist leading the pet through EFT. The others in the group tapped along with us, repeating the words we used and borrowed benefits for themselves as well. For the set up phrases we used whatever words came to the person speaking for the pet or to me as therapist and then added something about the pet being loved, safe and cared for. Each of these cases took about 15-20 minutes of tapping.

DOSSIER EFT with Animals

Oscar's shaking tail
In September the group tapped for Oscar. Sue Ashdown was offering a temporary home to Oscar (the cat of a friend of hers) who, due to changing circumstances, was unable to look after him. Sue was worried about Oscar - his tail and whole rear quivered and shook and he stumbled as he walked and sometimes fell. Her three other cats would not eat with him and he was generally in poor condition. We tapped as a group with Sue leading us and speaking as Oscar "Even though my tail shakes, I'm a good cat and Sue and Dawn love me" "Even though I don't know where I live I'm a good cat and these people care about me" and more, Sue was "guessing" at Oscar's emotional state and events that had happened to him just came to her. The words came from nowhere she said with surprise. After about 15 minutes of tapping, Sue felt a deep sense of calm and we tapped a round of I am Sue to separate her energy connection with Oscar. When Sue got home from the workshop she found that Oscar's tail was no longer shaking, he was walking better, not falling, the other cats were much more relaxed with him and he with them and they were all eating together. Its now December (3 months later) and Sue confirms that these improvements are sustained.

Kitten the 'Scare-dy Cat'

A few weeks later another group of 12 tapped for a middle aged cat who goes by the name of Kitten. Kittens owner is a friend of Moira who spoke as Kitten and once again I acted as therapist and the group tapped with us. Kitten was a scare-dy cat, very nervous, startled at any movement and spent most of her time hiding upstairs. We started tapping with Even though Im scared of footsteps Im a good cat and Moira loves me. Then I asked Moira if she knew what had happened to Kitten when she was a kitten. Moira didnt know and so we made up imaginary events. "Even though that man hurt me and I bit him and I couldn't escape, that was then, this is now, I'm with good people now, Im safe now" Even though footsteps remind me of that man and Im terrified there are good people around me now and they love me. We tapped together as a group for about 15 minutes until Moira felt a sense of deep calm. I asked her to picture Kitten and she pictured her snuggled up all relaxed. When she got home Kittens owner said "I don't know what's got into this cat, she's so much calmer". Weeks later Moira confirms that Kitten is much calmer, doesnt startle at footsteps and spends most of her time downstairs. It is interesting that when she enquired of Kittens owner as to Kittens early experiences she found out that Kitten had been the runt of the litter and was raised in a chaotic household and her experiences had probably been more of neglect than of cruelty. So even if Moiras imaginings were off track the tapping did the trick.

Cats and a Puppy

Poppy: Destruction and Disruption

The third case is the most moving. Sue Hanisch told us of a tragedy. Her brother and his wife have four young children, four cats and until recently a vibrant and intelligent Border Collie named Shadow who was like a fifth child. One morning in the summer, Shadow was hit by a car and was so badly injured that she had to be put to sleep. The raw and painful grief of the family was such that they believed that no dog could ever replace Shadow. Then they heard from a neighbor that a Jack Russell 6 month old puppy was to be returned to the rescue centre because his new owners could not handle him. The family felt sorry for the puppy and agreed to take Poppy. Well Poppy proved to be more than a handful and chewed the carpet, terrorized the cats, jumped and barked and was constantly on red alert. Sue told us that this was a turning point for the family, Poppys young life had brought hope and if Poppy had to be returned to the rescue centre the children would be inconsolable. However, Poppys behavior was causing havoc. So Sue "became Poppy" and I led the group. We started with the behavior Even though I bark and jump Im a good dog and they want to love me then we went onto Poppys insecurity Even though Ive been in three homes and I dont know where I belong and nobody wants me and I have to be noticed, the children love me and want me to stay. Then Even though Im scared Im not good enough its ok, this family loves me. As we tapped Sue was feeling Poppys emotions and feeling some shift but it wasnt until it came through me to offer Even though I cant be Shadow I can be Poppy and Poppy is Poppy. At this point it was like an electric shock went through Sue and as we tapped that subsided to a deep calm and she tapped a round of I am Sue to de-role herself. Sue visited her brother a week later. The front door was opened and left open (previously Poppy would have rushed out barking and jumping) as Sue walked into the kitchen she found Poppy curled up in a basket, a quiet little angel. A month later Sue has reported that Poppy has all the natural enthusiasm of any puppy of 6 months and there is no more destruction and disruption. The cats are now friends with Poppy who in her young fun way is helping the whole family to heal.
AAMET

In Conclusion
So, my conclusion is that if you want to use EFT to help an animal or pet I would suggest that you find at least one other person to tap with you. The one of you that knows the pet can then tune into the feeling of the pet, or simply speak of what you know happened or imagine what could have happened. If in doubt, guess. The other then acts as EFT therapist, asking questions and leading/guiding through the EFT process. Having one of you manage the process frees the other of you to manage the content and to be open to what comes to you without having to think about the words. If you can find other people to tap with you, then thats even better, though there is no proof, my gut feel is that these three cases were turbo charged by the action of the group. Once you sense the work is done the person speaking as the animal needs to de-role themselves by repeating and tapping with I am me and saying their own name.

the interview
AAMET What would you say is the one characteristic that defines you best?

Dr. Carol Look I have a unique capacity to hold a huge energetic space so that other

people feel safe enough to do the work they need to do to release their emotional pain. I really use my heart and intuition in my work, and people feel it.
AAMET Looking back, as a founding EFT Master, and a true pioneer and leader in the EFT community,

what was it that started you onto the Tapping path which would eventually lead to where you are today? Dr. Carol Look Right at the beginning of my training, I kept getting exceptional results

on myself and my clients. My skepticism couldnt hold up under such obvious successes all around me with tapping.
AAMET Being recognized and respected around the globe as a premier success and abundance coach,

inspiring people to attract abundance into their lives by using EFT and the Law of Attraction, how did you come to take the huge step of making the decision to focus your work primarily on abundance and prosperity consciousness? What was the inspiration behind it? Dr. Carol Look I wanted to be able to heal my own conflicts around success and abun-

dance, and I did by combining EFT with Law of Attraction, so it was a perfect fit to teach it to others. And of course when you teach about success, you bump into everyones fears of success and failure, limiting beliefs and overall sabotage behavior, so its both fun and gratifying to help them succeed.
AAMET You are a great inspiration to us all and such a success story as a highly sought after interna-

tional speaker and workshop leader having authored the popular books; Attracting Abundance with EFT, Improve Your Eyesight with EFT, and the #1 bestselling Amazon Kindle book Stop Feeling Lazy: How to Break the Procrastination Cycle Once and For All as well as featuring in two leading EFT DVD documentaries, yet youve recently managed to launch your Abundance Coaching Program. How do you manage to operate at such a dedicated level? What is your secret? Dr. Carol Look I think with everyone, INSPIRATION is the secret. My passion for this

coaching program has been amazing and thats what keeps me going. I trained 7 top coaches in my style and methods, and they conduct the individual coaching sessions with the students, while I provide the Group Coaching Calls, the training products and the mastermind events.

AAMET How does the Abundance Coaching Program work in helping me obtain an abundance mind-

set and how can I find out more about it?

Dr. Carol Look The Abundance Coaching program has 2 tracks if you take Level 1 only,

it is designed to release and heal all of your abundance blocks so you can attract what you want in your life. You get intensive individual as well as group coaching work. If you choose to become a Certified Abundance Coach, not only do you work on and heal your own blocks, you learn how to turn around and help others do the same through your coaching practice. The details and application process are here:
http://www.attractingabundance.com/coachingprogram AAMET What would you say about AAMET International (which is the largest worldwide professional

EFT Association), as an organization and what made you choose to be affiliated with AAMET?

Dr. Carol Look I have always loved AAMET trainers, and Ive been happily supportive of

and affiliated with them for years. They have very high training standards, and a lot of heart too, so were a good fit. I have been honored to be affiliated with them for so long.
AAMET What advice would you give to AAMET Life magazine readers who have aspirations of eventu-

ally being in a similar place as you?

Dr. Carol Look Dont get swept up in all the marketing and hype. Think about who

you want to serve, not how much money you want to make. Follow what you feel passionate about and what you love to do with your training, dont just do whats popular. Continue to work on yourself as well as your craft. Too many practitioners have stopped working on themselves and have become burned out and focused on their business too much. YOU are your best marketing tool, make sure youre sharp and clear.
AAMET What is your vision for the future of Tapping and how does your work fit in with that?

Dr. Carol Look My vision for the future of Tapping is clear and optimistic the tipping

point has finally happened - the results continue to be amazing, so the tool is around to stay. My work will be to continue to offer high quality training for others to heal themselves so they can help others on their journeys to success and deep joy in their lives.

Choose Expansion
Dr. Carol Look, LCSW, EFT Master http://www.attractingabundance.com/

Imagine how much abundance would flow into your life if you
28
AAMET

could Choose Expansion... You would immediately increase your positive vibration and success and abundance would start to flow into your life. LIFE
AUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org

Our vibration matters!

What we all tend to do is to choose feelings or behaviors that feel more safe and familiar, which definitely leaves expansion out of the equation! I'm all for safety, but not at the expense of expansion. I believe we are all "here" in order to expand our thoughts, ideas, and vibration, not to just play it safe. I understand the reasons to stay safe, but when we expand, we can enjoy more abundance, have more fun, and enjoy more creativity in our lives. For me, I think it is worth the risks we have to take in order to expand our thoughts, our feelings, our opportunities and behaviors. When we Choose Expansion, we allow ourselves to have bigger dreams, to try something new, and to stop listening to our incessant fears which are always limiting. I know you have many reasons to choose safety instead of expansion... what I call the "yes, buts" ... see if you recognize yourself in these reasons below: (1) I'm afraid to take a risk. (2) I hate change. (3) I feel safer staying where I am. (4) I'd rather not rock the boat... If you recognize yourself in any of the above reasons, I understand. But I also know that these are all "tappable" issues with EFT... (See the EFT sequences that follow.) Now that you've recognized yourself in the above "reasons" or excuses to play it small and safe, let me go over the essential benefits you get when you Choose Expansion: (1) You will attract more abundance into your life. (2) You will become more flexible, emotionally and energetically. (3) You will be better at making "yes" choices in your life. (4) You will be able to handle conflict with less stress. Again, I think when we Choose Expansion, it's worth the risks because of the exciting results. All of these above benefits are good for your overall abundance picture. So I invite you to stop limiting yourself and start to Choose Expansion. Take some small steps to expand your thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors every day. The value will show up in your life as an improved vibration, more optimism, the wonderful feeling of possibility, and eventually, new channels of abundance. Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors carry energy... Remember that the Universe hears your vibration not your words. The principles of the Law of Attraction remind us that we will receive more of what we are "broadcasting" to the Universe when we are in alignment with it. When the universe is able to receive a clear message from you (no energetic or emotional interference) then the Law of Attraction works in your favor. So when you Choose Expansion, the universe will support you. Following are EFT setup phrases to help you be inspired to release your blocks to being able to attract what you want into your life. When you change your vibration,you will change your life. Go ahead, raise your vibration by being inspired to Choose Expansion! EFT SETUP PHRASES: The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows: While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation). "Even though I'm afraid to take any risks, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway." "Even though I'd rather play it safe than expand, I accept myself and my feelings." "Even though I'm afraid to Choose Expansion over safety, I choose to love and accept myself anyway." I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat the positive round more than once if you wish. (If you are new to EFT please view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.) Now for the phrases that focus on the problem Eyebrow: "I'm afraid to take any risks..." Side of Eye: "It feels safer to stay and play small..." Under Eye: "I'm afraid to Choose Expansion." Nose: "I'd rather stay where I am." Chin: "I've never wanted to expand anything, it feels too scary." Collarbone: "I'm afraid to take any risks." Under Arm: "I'd rather stay safe than take any risks." Head: "I'm afraid to Choose Expansion..." Now for the positive focus on the solution Eyebrow: "I know I've been limiting myself..." Side of Eye: "I want to want to Choose Expansion but I'm afraid." Under Eye: "I want to Choose Expansion and enjoy it." Nose: "I'm looking forward to taking a few risks in my life..." Chin: "I want to be inspired to Choose Expansion." Collarbone: "I feel hopeful about being able to Choose Expansion." Under Arm: "I love feeling inspired to Choose Expansion." Head: "I choose to Choose Expansion starting today!" Access more positive vibrations with the Law of Attraction by repeating the following phrases (while tapping or not): Thank You, Universe for teaching me how to Choose Expansion... I feel more aligned with abundance already! Thank You, Universe for allowing me to feel inspired to Choose Expansion... I am looking forward to uplifting results! Thank You, Universe for making it so easy for me to Choose Expansion... I feel the vibrational shift and power already!

Keep tapping, and enjoy using the Law of Attraction to bring more of what you want into your life. LIFE

Insight

A Challenge you face as an EFT PRACTITIONER

by Ray Freeman BA (Hons) PGCE FNCP
www.cptraining.eu

I am sure you do not need me to tell you that we live in an ever changing world. Nor do I need to say that as health professionals we must keep up with the changes or we will be left behind.
One change we must realise is that the public recognise good practice as they become more aware of new and of course older models of therapy in this world of mass instant communication. My honest feeling is that the single modality professional is being left behind. The counsellor, the hypnotherapist and yes the EFT practitioner too with just one model of work, are being left behind by professionals who use multiple models of therapy to treat their clients. I know this is already happening and as the Chairman of the NCP I encourage every member to expand their disciplines and keep growing as people and in the ability to treat their clients. I encourage continuous growth for members of the NCP, true life-long learning. We have an ever expanding group of accredited training and CPD providers who are at educational standards and provide members and others with an enormous choice of growth opportunities. Yes of course read a book but you must be qualified to work with the public or we become snake oil salesmen. What frightens me is the single modality professional. As Maslow (1966) suggests, if you only have a hammer in your toolbox you are likely to treat every problem as a nail. In plain English, with one modality there is a risk that we fit the client into what we can do for them. Now I can hear the shouts of outrage! Of course the professional will refer on when they cannot help but that misses my argument entirely. Firstly a question, is single modality therapy always best practice? Secondly, with more than one model to work with you are likely not to have to refer on so often, which increases your income. The next two arguments against change are there is no time and no money. It would be a pity not to invest in yourself, your growth as an individual and make the time. Someone far wiser than I once said to me that you probably waste an hour a day, so stop wasting it and do something! You may think this short piece controversial, it is not intended to be so. It is written deliberately to ask you to think where you are as a practitioner facing the public in the form of your client. My question is that if you could expand your knowledge, help more people than you are at the moment and also potentially increase your income, would you do it? Ray has an honours degree in psychology and had a long career lecturing in psychology and mental health. He has qualifications in Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, Counselling, CBT and Teaching. As well as a client case load, Ray runs Coaching & Psychotherapy Training Ltd and is Chairman and a Fellow of the National Council of Psychotherapists.

Report: AAMET International Conference 2013

Report by Drew Ryder

www.drewryder.com

WOW!!! What an amazing weekend at the AAMET International EFT and Energy Psychology Conference 2013 held at the Hallmark Hotel, Cheshire in the UK, on 26th/27th October.
Delegates came from around the world to attend this conference travelling from countries such as Holland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Switzerland, the USA, Denmark, Malta, Malaysia, Ireland, Spain and Australia! The conference was opened by AAMET Internationals chairperson Helena Fone who introduced members of the Executive Board and supporting teams. The first speaker of the conference was the lovely Jacqui Crooks EFT Founding Master, to present at the conference. Jacquis presentation entitled Back to your Blueprint which takes us to the essence of Who We Are. As therapists we are then in a better position to allow and enable clients to take responsibility for their negative truth, accepting and acknowledging it as their reality, to create empowerment taking them from victim to empowered being. Next to present was Dr Rupert Sheldrake speaking about his book The Science of Delusion.

Dr. RUPERT SHELDRAKE

In his presentation Dr Sheldrake addressed 10 dogmas or assumptions science has made since the 17th century. He went on to show how that a lot of science is based on assumption that cannot be tested. Further showing that the mind and energy are not fixed, and that matter is a wave or vibration that takes up time and space. He did this by demonstrating that everything is organised by fields fields of energy, and that the mind extends beyond the brain to take in intention and that the same can be said for animals.

JACQUI CROOKS

Truly fascinating!

As a practicing psychotherapist I learnt so much at this conference.The atmosphere of openness and acceptance made it easy to be open to new ideas myself! Dr Ashley P Crosthwaite

AUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org

The first presentation after lunch was a very fast paced and extremely enthusiastic presentation by the renowned holistic physician Dr Bradley Nelson.

Dr Boaths passion for research and evaluation showed the importance of data to support, improve and advance the rising popularity of energy field work as a whole. She stressed that such empirical evidence can only add credence to the work that energy therapists and practitioners do. The AAMET Research Team is seeking funding to undertake clinical trials and hopefully have EFT accepted as an Evidence Based therapy. Dr Boath shared many different ways of collating such evidence with the Clinical measurement tools available. These will soon be available to download from the AAMET website. Next was Dr Phil Mollon talking on Healing the Reversed Personality - making our work fast and deep. Dr Mollons interest in the field of Energy Psychology is well documented along with the development of his Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy (PEP). In his presentation he clearly showed that by using energy psychology it is possible to heal reversed personalities not only quickly but deeply as well. He further demonstrated that there is indeed a great and growing need for faster, deeper and sustained healing that can be provided within the ever growing field of energy psychology. Day one of the conference ended with members of the Training Board and Accreditation Panel answering some questions from attendees.

Dr. BRADLEY NELSON

Dr Nelson demonstrated how to use The Emotion Code and The Body Code: The future of energy medicine. His presentation and demonstrations showed just how deeply trauma and its trapped emotions create pain, and how that pain and trauma may not necessarily be your own. He went on to demonstrate that pain can be inherited from family members and is passed down via generations. He also shared his discovery that trapped emotions often gather around the heart, creating a Heart-Wall which results in the giving and receiving of love becoming blocked.

Could this really be the future of energy medicine, or medicine as a whole? Fast on the heels of Dr Nelson came Associate Professor Dr Liz Boath whose presentation entitled Rev up your Business with Research and Evaluation Skills created a buzz all of its own.

HAPPY PRIZEWINNERS
Saturday evening was time for the gala dinner and a huge raffle with over 70 prizes which raised over 500 pounds to support the work of AAMET International. As soon as the raffle was over people were up dancing the night away with tremendous energy needing to release it before going off to the land of slumber in preparation for day two!!

AAMET TEAM ENJOYING DINNER

Day two began with an optional Laughter Yoga class led by Anna White which did indeed produce much laughter. Laugher raises energy and is a great way for people to connect and join energies. Helena thanked those who worked behind the scenes to help put the conference together. Gywneth Moss EFT Founding Master was the first speaker of the day presenting Projection tapping and introduced several critters to the conference. Following a brief resum of Freuds projection theory, Gwyneth used these toys to explain and demonstrate just how Projection tapping works. Initially developed to work with children, it also became effective with adults also as a way of expressing inner emotions. After coffee it was the turn of Tania Prince, another EFT Founding Master and self confessed adrenalin junkie who took to the stage presenting her Inner Re-Patterning and called upon the help of no less than six volunteers (!) to demonstrate this simple yet effective technique. With a clear message that your body knows how to heal by using both energy and mindfulness, Tania explained how the fear response invokes tunnel vision and demonstrated to the audience how the stress response can be turned off. The next presentation before breaking for lunch was by Denise Gurney the leading expert in the field of Kinesiology, the science of energy balancing. Developed during the 1970s varying forms of kinesiology developed which Denise described, and she herself is an advocate of and practitioner of Professional Kinesiology Practice. Denise explained that we cannot separate ourselves from our clients and that the clients context as well as our own is very important as our energies come together. She went on to do demonstrate with volunteers from the audience the absolute effectiveness of kinesiology. Denises unique sense of humour shone through in these demonstrations raising the energy in the room even further to promote further healing with much laughter as well.

After a great lunchtime of yet more rising positive energy from delegates, Dr Thornton Street the UKs leading authority on complementary medicine took to the stage with his Research Mapping the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Biofield.

It is fair to say that the 2nd AAMET International EFT and Energy Psychology Conference will certainly go down in the history books as an awesome event!
To say it was a resounding success would be an understatement.and many wondered how it could be better. The feedback from the forms, videos and messages on Facebook reflect the sense of feeling from the delegates and speakers. Guest and Keynote speakers were very approachable and engaged in photo shoots and discussions during coffee breaks and lunch. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the lunch and dinner was appreciated by all.

Dr. THORNTON STREETER

Dr Streeter presented very clearly how energy does indeed extend beyond the body using biofield imagery and how effective it can be in diagnoses. Thornton presented slides that illustrated how thermal imaging can detect breast cancer six years earlier than using traditional allopathic medical procedures. The final speaker was Judy Byrne an EFT Founding Master who gave a presentation entitled Radically compassionate EFT. Judy began by saying how EFT practitioners are compassionate to others but not to themselves. She described compassion as being able to look at your-self without judgement, about practising what we preach to others, our clients.

Sabrina Scaccetti our compre, did a fantastic job throughout the event introducing the speakers and ensuring they all kept to time. However, the real thanks has to be given to those who attended to make this Conference a success. So thank you and we will see you next year wherever we may be. Before finishing off, you may like to know that CPD Certificates will be emailed out to all delegates. An audio recording of the Conference will be made available on the AAMET website and photographs will be uploaded too. The Smile poem that was requested will also be sent out.

The whole Conference was interactive, informative and inspirational!

Are You Covered?

A friend comes to you for treatment or therapy and accidentally trips up on your rug or step and loses her two front teeth. Shes a friend and says its OK and you believe her until some weeks later you receive a bill from her lawyer for her dental work plus loss of earnings of Euros 5,000. Public Liability Insurance would cover you in the event of a personal injury claim during the course of normal business. If members of the public visit your home or business, you should seriously consider taking out this insurance cover for your own protection. [If you share a managed building, the landlord should cover the insurance for the common parts and toilets only so you should still insure your own workspace. What if a client makes an allegation against you that you inappropriately touched her during a treatment or that you violated your codes of conduct? Could you afford to defend yourself? If you have Professional Indemnity/Malpractice insurance you would be protected against allegations of negligence and also provided with cover for the legal costs involved in defending you, regardless of the validity of the claim.

Appropriate insurance is usually a mandatory requirement from most professional associations/organisations anyway. Never believe it wont ever happen to you. Litigation cases are big business these days and all it takes is for one successful claim to be made before the floodgates open. Most insurance companies will offer a blanket cover that includes above plus equipment etc. Remember to check all the therapies you are using are included and what restrictions there may be. Discounted Insurance: If youre a member of AAMET International (www.aamet.org) you can benefit from the discounted policy cover with Balens Insurance Co (http://www.balens. co.uk) who have been running the family business for over 60 years. If you reside in Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Republic of Ireland, UK or the Netherlands then please email them on europe@balens.co.uk. Balens are also working on pan-European schemes for all professionals. In order to qualify for the insurance discount, you will need to be a student or practicing in EFT with AAMET.

Even if you are not an EFT Practitioner, Balens will be able to provide a competetive quote for you if you email:
