    Hello EveryoneWell 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 avail-

    able on the website. The documents on the website will clarify the

    changes.

    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 up-

    dates that we can share with you. The website will be undergoing another facelift to pro-

    vide 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 nd 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. InChina its known as Ten Chieh and they place food and water beneath the photos of de-

    parted family members.They then light lanterns and bonres to light up the path so spirits

    can travel the earth. In Spanish speaking countries, alters are adorned with fruit, owers,

    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 replace.

    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

    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.

    Report: Trauma Buster Technique

    Journal of Rehana Websters

    Trauma Buster TechniqueWorkshops and Interventions

    in Pakistan May 2013

    The Sindh Development Society invited me towork with the residents of Darulaman Women'sShelter which houses women labelled 'KARI'(the insidious tradition of honor killing). Asmabibi is the managing director of SDS, KanwalThebo, psychologist, Qudoos Memon, districtofficer and Makhdoom Hussain, High Courtjudge who is handling the gardening project.

    I was in Sukkur from 12-18 May and spentevery day in sessions with the women andteaching TBT. Asma bibi and Kanwal weremy official guides and translators as Sindhi isthe dialect spoken here. We set up groupswith team leaders to continue the TBT practice

    daily. The social worker from Sahil andthe psychologist assigned to Darulamanwill continue to monitor the progress andapplication of TBT at the shelter. What a greatteam dedicated to justice for women!

    The people of Sindh are mostly from therural areas. They are generally poor withlittle education or literacy skills. It's amazingto think that most cities here have morepeople than the entire population of NewZealand which is 4 million. The society is

    comprised of clans or castes.The clans dontallow out marriages and therefore the majorityof marriages are arranged by the families.There are 23 districts and 4 shelter homesservicing Sindh - 8 districts are covered by 1

    shelter. The maximum capacity for Darulamanis 30 residents and presently there are 50women and 27 children crammed into theshelter, all referred by the Court. Young girlsare married off (sold) to much older men andmistreated terribly. They are made to work inthe fields, keep house, have babies and thenburnt, beaten and abused. When they escapefrom their marriages by running away, their onlyhope is hiding in the Shelters or to face certaindeath by the hands of their families. There islittle food, less power due to hourly blackoutsand very little space - 6 small rooms to live in.One day the outside temperature was 47C andit was sweltering inside. Summer had barely

    begun.

    The government provides R9 per person, perday for food. R9 does not even pay for a cupof tea. In contrast the government gives $180per person per day for people in jail. So you canimagine how this gardening project will help theresidents. I gathered donations from friends andcolleagues to start a gardening project at theshelter to help supplement food supplies for theresidents and their children who are hungry andsuffering from malnutrition. I felt that practical

    help was as valuable as teaching the residentshow to use TBT. The project has been a hugesuccess and the SDS members including thestaff from the shelter have been involved handson with the creation of this gardening center.

    I have posted pictures on face book documentingthe progress of the project. There are twopages, one under my name and another underTrauma Buster Technique. However, here aresome more pictures for those of you who don'tuse face book.

    The use of TBT was an unprecedented success.

    The women were able to use the simple techniqueand noticed the relief they achieved from thevarious symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress.

    (see www.traumabustertechnique.com for details)

    TBT workshops delivered in Islamabad:TBT workshop at Sahil.org for staff members1.(psychologists and social workers)21/5/13TBT workshop for retired American School2.Teachers 31/5/13TBT workshop for Behbud Society (staff3.members, social workers, psychologists,doctors) 1/6/13TBT presentation to staff at Hafeez4.Naval Hospital for Trauma (Staff andpsychologists) 2/6/13

    Chitral (in the Hindu Kush and

    Himalayas) All workshops sponsored

    and organized by SGRM Pakistan

    (Sustainable Growth throughResource Management).

    Very different society here. Rate of educationamong the young people is the highest inPakistan. University degrees are common.However there are no jobs to sustain thishighly educated population. There are severalsuicides monthly among the young women.Again it appears that the custom of arrangedmarriages is the key factor in the high suicide

    rate. Population suffering from anxiety andstress.

    TBT workshops delivered in Chitral:TBT workshop at Kosht Agha Khan School1.(students, teachers and staff members)25/5/13TBT workshop at Booni Area School2.(students, teachers and staff members)26/5/13TBT workshop at University of Chitral3.(students, staff and psychology department)29/5/13TBT workshop at Chitral sponsored by4.Commissioner (police, staff and studentsfrom economics department) 27/5/13

    Success rate:100% for any clients treated for a particular PTSsymptom. The theme of the events were: violenthome invasions with armed intruders, knifeattacks, etc. Other events were of gory accidentsand bomb attacks. These are the conditions thatpeople are living under because of the unrest in

    society and war conditions.

    One success that stands out is a medical doctorwho was unable to work because of paranoiddelusions experienced after a traumatic event.He was not able to leave his home for 3 yearsand had received treatment at the best hospital inIslamabad. His paranoia condition had becomevery severe and when I saw him he was visiblytrembling and in a high state of anxiety. His

    family had brought him to see me in the hopethat TBT would help.

    We had one TBT session which lasted 3 hours.At the end his sense of anxiety had fallen from10++ to around 2. I instructed him to continuetapping 3 times daily and at any time he feltanxious or had negative thoughts. When I sawhim 2 days later he was totally transformed.Why... because he he had been able to sleep forthe first time in 3 years without feeling paranoidabout being attacked in his home. He continuedto get better and I receive regular feedback fromhim. When I return to Chitral he has expresseda desire to be the first certified TBT practitionerto open up a clinic there. ;-)

    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 theworkshops in the province of Chitral.

    Many thanks to all the hard work and

    commitment of everyone involved.

    EFT ReleasingFEAR OF FAILURE

    9/40AAMETLIFEAUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org 9

    A common fear that stops peoplefrom being proactive is the fearof failure.

    How can we know that it isthere? If there is something wewould like to do and feel hesitantdoing it, the question can riseas to why we are hesitant. One

    possible reason could be that weare afraid of failing and so wehesitate to take the next step, sowe postpone indefinitely doingsomething about it.

    So, OK, we dont like to fail.Nobody does. However, whyis there a fear of failure? Mostlikely this fear is there becauseof the unwanted emotions theexperience of failure brings. There

    must be at least one incident in thepast that involved the experienceof failure in something. If youwish to deal with the fear offailure you can try and rememberone of those incidents in thepast which involved you failing insomething or perhaps witnessingsomeone else failing and theconsequences experienced bythat.

    Did someone make fun of

    you? Or insulted you in frontof others? Did others expresstheir disappointment in you? Didthey get angry at you, laughedat you or perhaps they showedjoy with your failure? Or maybethey rejected you one way or theother?

    Events like these can instantlydisrupt your energy field andcause unhealthy emotions. What

    sort of feelings did the experienceof failure and the response to itcreated in you? Embarrassment?Disheartening? Sadness? Anger?Lack of self-worth? Anything else?If the memory of these eventsstill causes you an intensity ofsuch emotions, then they arewonderfully tappable issues.

    Here I would like to share withyou generalised tap-alongs usingEFT shortcuts, that you mightfind helpful in eliminating the fearof failure. For greater success,however, tap directly on the issuesrising 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 thiswould be devastating for me, I love myself and profoundly accept the way Iam.Even though Im afraid to try something new because I dont want toexperience 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 isscary, 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 goodenough, I choose to release these concerns now.Even though Im afraid to fail because I would again experience sorrow, Ichoose not to allow a failure determine who I am.Even though I fear failure because others will make fun of me or criticiseme, 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 leastsome relief from the original intensity. For possible greater results youmight like to consider working on specific events as I mentioned earlier andfor deeper issues consider working with an EFT professional.

    Article: EFT with Horses at Public Event

    I was invited to an Open Day Public Event

    by The Horse Whisperer Adam Sherestonto demonstrate using EFT with horses. Nopressure there then as I had been bitten badlya long time ago by an Arabian stallion anddragged several foot into the air and a tornblouse. So I was afraid of horses!

    I invited two Practitioners living close by andasked if they wanted to demonstrate with me.

    Unbeknown to me they were both somewhatnervous as they had a fear of horses too. Thismust have been synchronicity to have threeof us with the same fear and delivering EFTto the public.

    So I suggested we all Skype together andwe did mentoring and tapping around Fear ofHorses. Jennifer Rahman had fallen from ahorse which had badly shaken her in the pastand Drew Ryder just thought they were suchbig creatures!

    After that session, we appeared to have lostour fear. Such is the amazing power of EFTbut of course the Open Day with the horseswould be the final test - oh! and not to mention

    public speaking which was the least of myworries.

    DOSSIER EFT with Animals

    Adam did his presentation of Horse Whispering andthen we were on next with the beautiful Moonlight.

    As I was presenting on microphone to the public andtapping, I was explaining how to use EFT. All three ofus slowly made our way towards Moonlight, tapping

    as we went. It looks strange but Moonlight wasresponding very well to the energy, her owner told us.

    Moonlight had occasional problems with her back legwhen cantering which would then worsen. The ownerhad no idea why this was.

    We worked with surrogate and proxy tapping and hada sense it was her hip that was the issue and not the

    leg. The owner found this interesting as she felt thatwould make more sense to her.

    It was interesting to watch Moonlights energy shiftand some of her signs that the owner pointed out thatshe was very relaxed with the tapping, in fact she saidsurprisingly so!

    We finished the demonstration and when the three of

    us regrouped afterwards, we all said what an amazingexperience that it had been. We all absolutely adoredMoonlight and felt a truly special connection with her.So not only do three of us lose our fear of horses butwe finish the day on absolutely loving them! Adam wasvery impressed and delighted we had come so far in ashort time by losing our fear then enjoying being withhorses.

    It didnt strike me until I saw the photographs later thatthe white horses behind me (see previous picture) area similar distance to when I was badly bitten and yet Ihad absolutely no concern whatsoever here.

    I tried to follow up on Moonlight but Adam, his partnersand the horses were all moving from Spain.However, it was an incredible experience and one that

    I will never forget.

    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.

    17/40AAMETLIFEAUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org 17

    My story goes as follows witha beautiful wolf pet namedShawnee. Her unusual nameis derived from the Shoshonetribe in America.

    I was invited around to our newneighbours who had moved innext to us with their dog andcats. It was a lovely afternoonand we sat having cocktailsand getting to know each otherwhen I saw this most stunningcreature in the doorway. Thiswas Shawnee, their pet wolf-dog. She was simply breath-taking and I couldnt take myeyes off her.

    The owner told me Shawneewas very ill and didnt thinkshe was long for this world.She had a terrible limp & couldhardly walk as she was trailingher back leg and had many epi-leptic ts. To add to this, two of

    her feline companions had re-cently passed away & she wasmissing them dreadfully. Shelaid down, head in paws andlooked very sorry for herselfgenerally.

    I couldnt stop looking at thisbeautiful animal. The ownerwas very interested in EFT andhad never heard of it or used it.She asked if I would try someon Shawnee. I advised that notall dogs liked tapping physicallyand it may be surrogate but theowner insisted she would beOK to try out physical tapping.I must admit to some degreeof trepidation when I laid at

    on the oor beside her; eyeball

    to eyeball. The absolute sheer

    size of her was daunting yet herbeautiful eyes were magnetic,especially at such a close dis-tance.

    I asked permission of Shawneeif she minded if I tapped on herand was sorry she felt so ill butthe tapping might just help her.I felt it was OK & the owner saidit was OK to go ahead.

    I then proceeded to tap on thepoints, around the eyes, chestand under arm, similar to our-selves with the following phras-es 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 agood 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 tappingas I thought she may have hadenough because I had a sensethat she was very weak andtired.

    The owner walked me roundtheir garden, looking at theplants & chatting. I have tobe honest I was still drawn toShawnee & noticed she stag-gered up from the ground andstarted following us around. Ithought her walking looked alot better but didnt comment asI had only just met everyone in-cluding Shawnee.

    Then the owners husbandcommented about Shawneeswalking looking much better.She has denitely improved but

    not knowing her, I didnt knowwhat her normal day was like.

    I was then invited to sit with theowner in her courtyard area andShawnee came to sit near us &laid down. The owner asked meto try some more tapping andI said I would use surrogate. Iasked the owner if she wantedto follow me tapping and shesaid she would.

    I tapped on myself and used sim-ilar phrases to before includingher two cat companions. Theyboth died after moving homeand this is when Shawneesleg problem started. I contin-ued tapping and somethingcame up from Shawnee andshe was very worried about herowner but I didnt vocalise it tothe owner just yet. I didnt wantto freak this lady out whom Ihad only just met! Intuitively itfelt like the right thing to do atthis stage.

    The owner tried some tappingwith Shawnee.

    Shawnee, even though you

    are so ill and missing yourfriends, 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, Ididnt say anything & the ownerwas visibly shaken.

    Still quiet, I waited and the ownersaid

    No I dont want to die yet,

    She asked me to continue for herand 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 surprisingas they had talked about euthanasiaand again was visibly shocked.

    At this stage, I shared with the own-er that something came up from

    Shawnee that I wanted to share withher if it was OK?

    I repeated what Shawnee had saidearlier:

    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 wor-

    ried, what is wrong?

    Again the owner looked moreshocked and quiet, in fact couldntspeak.

    I waited... and said we didnt have togo any further if she didnt want to.

    She was actually quite annoyed ina defensive way at rst saying that

    she did everything for Shawnee,she was top of her list even thoughshe recently had lost her father. Itbecame clear why she had reactedin this way.

    She became upset but said no thatshe would be OK in a couple of min-utes and then explained that no oneknew, not her best friends and onlyher husband that she had to go for

    a scan. She had a cancer scare andwas very worried, in fact pre-occu-pied by it.

    She couldnt believe how I knew. I said I didnt know. It wasShawnees worry and a sense I had from Shawnee thatshe would lose her human mum as well as the friends shehad recently lost. We nished tapping around this worry.

    I had to leave and travel to southern Spain, 5 hours drive

    away, the next day, so hadnt seen Shawnee althoughheard by email that she was doing really well for a fewdays following the tapping.

    Interestingly for three consecutive nights I was wokenup early morning with Shawnees beautiful face seekinghealing- she was asking me for healing. I tapped mentallyfor her whilst in bed. I couldnt get her out of my mind, sosent her surrogate tapping whenever I thought of her.

    I told the owners about my vision of Shawnee and tappingfor her and they said her walking had improved dramati-cally.

    The tapping with Shawnee really had left an impressionon me at this stage as I certainly didnt consider myselfan animal communicator but it all happened very naturallyand very unexpectedly.

    Some months later followingShawnees huge improvement,I learned that she had deterio-rated having 18 epileptic ts in

    two days. The owner asked meto help in any way even though Iwasnt near them.

    I decided to use my Energy Ex-change Photo Technique that I de-veloped many years ago. I pulledup her photo on the computerscreen and tapped on the pointson the screen. Lucy my own dogof 9 years who loves tapping, waswith me. Why not try surrogatetapping with her for Shawnee?!

    I took the lap top over with the

    photo of Shawnee, to where Lucywas sitting and asked if she wouldbe willing to help tap and imagineshe was Shawnee. I asked ques-tions of Lucy as Shawnee forabout 15 minutes and also tappedon Lucy and on myself and onShawnees photo. We tappedsimilarly around her health andother 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 own-

    ers, 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 atsomething outside! I then followed up withan email to the owners a couple of days lat-er & told them about the exchange and Iasked if Shawnee liked swimming. The own-ers said not really but she loved sitting in wa-ter. Two days ago she sat in the newly lled

    swimming pool. Something she loved to do.

    This was the exact same timing as Lucy

    told me water.

    Article: Tapping and the Wolf

    Lucy loves tapping and enjoys opening presents!

    Maries notes:My sessions were very impromptu and I went with theflow. This was the first time I had used another animal byproxy but why not? If the animal is willing, we do it withpeople.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 consentand how do you know they have answered? Follow yourintuition 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 orif they move away from you that they have had enoughor indeed too much energy if the animals system isdepleted. You can find The Energy Exchange PhotoTechnique at www.eftspain.com/Owntechniques.html Or

    request a brochure from me on the techniques. Additionallythere is a Podcast with full details you can listen to.

    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.

    Kitten the 'Scare-dy Cat'

    A few weeks later another group of 12 tappedfor a middle aged cat who goes by the nameof Kitten. Kittens owner is a friend of Moirawho spoke as Kitten and once again I actedas therapist and the group tapped with us.

    Kitten was a scare-dy cat, very nervous,startled at any movement and spent most ofher time hiding upstairs. We started tappingwith Even though Im scared of footstepsIm a good cat and Moira loves me. Then Iasked Moira if she knew what had happenedto Kitten when she was a kitten.

    Moira didnt know and so we made upimaginary events. "Even though that manhurt 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 menow and they love me.

    We tapped together as a group for about15 minutes until Moira felt a sense of deepcalm. I asked her to picture Kitten and shepictured her snuggled up all relaxed. Whenshe got home Kittens owner said "I don'tknow what's got into this cat, she's so much

    calmer".

    Weeks later Moira confirms that Kitten ismuch calmer, doesnt startle at footstepsand spends most of her time downstairs. It isinteresting that when she enquired of Kittensowner as to Kittens early experiences shefound out that Kitten had been the runt of thelitter and was raised in a chaotic household

    and her experiences had probably beenmore of neglect than of cruelty. So even ifMoiras imaginings were off track the tappingdid the trick.

    Oscar's shaking tail

    In September the group tapped forOscar. Sue Ashdown was offeringa temporary home to Oscar (the

    cat of a friend of hers) who, due tochanging circumstances, was unableto look after him.

    Sue was worried about Oscar - histail and whole rear quivered andshook and he stumbled as he walkedand sometimes fell. Her three othercats would not eat with him and hewas generally in poor condition.

    We tapped as a group with Sueleading us and speaking as Oscar"Even though my tail shakes, I'm agood cat and Sue and Dawn loveme" "Even though I don't know whereI live I'm a good cat and these people

    care about me" and more, Sue was"guessing" at Oscar's emotional stateand events that had happened to him

    just came to her.

    The words came from nowhereshe said with surprise. After about15 minutes of tapping, Sue felt adeep sense of calm and we tapped

    a round of I am Sue to separate herenergy connection with Oscar.

    When Sue got home from theworkshop she found that Oscar'stail was no longer shaking, he waswalking better, not falling, the othercats were much more relaxed withhim and he with them and they

    were all eating together. Its nowDecember (3 months later) and Sueconfirms that these improvementsare sustained.

    Poppy: Destruction and Disruption

    Article: Two Cats and a Puppy

    The third case is the most moving. Sue Hanisch toldus of a tragedy. Her brother and his wife have fouryoung children, four cats and until recently a vibrant

    and intelligent Border Collie named Shadow who waslike a fifth child.

    One morning in the summer, Shadow was hit by acar and was so badly injured that she had to be putto sleep. The raw and painful grief of the family wassuch that they believed that no dog could ever replaceShadow. Then they heard from a neighbor that a JackRussell 6 month old puppy was to be returned to therescue centre because his new owners could nothandle him.

    The family felt sorry for the puppy and agreed to takePoppy. Well Poppy proved to be more than a handfuland chewed the carpet, terrorized the cats, jumpedand barked and was constantly on red alert. Sue toldus that this was a turning point for the family, Poppysyoung life had brought hope and if Poppy had to bereturned to the rescue centre the children would beinconsolable. However, Poppys behavior was causing

    havoc.

    So Sue "became Poppy" and I led the group. Westarted with the behavior Even though I bark and jumpIm a good dog and they want to love me then wewent onto Poppys insecurity Even though Ive beenin three homes and I dont know where I belong andnobody wants me and I have to be noticed, the childrenlove me and want me to stay.Then Even though Imscared Im not good enough its ok, this family lovesme.As we tapped Sue was feeling Poppys emotionsand feeling some shift but it wasnt until it came throughme to offer Even though I cant be Shadow I can bePoppy and Poppy is Poppy. At this point it was like anelectric shock went through Sue and as we tapped thatsubsided to a deep calm and she tapped a round of Iam Sue to de-role herself.

    Sue visited her brother a week later. The front doorwas opened and left open (previously Poppy wouldhave rushed out barking and jumping) as Sue walkedinto the kitchen she found Poppy curled up in a basket,

    a quiet little angel. A month later Sue has reported thatPoppy has all the natural enthusiasm of any puppyof 6 months and there is no more destruction anddisruption. The cats are now friends with Poppy who inher young fun way is helping the whole family to heal.

    In Conclusion

    So, my conclusion is thatif you want to use EFT

    to help an animal or petI would suggest that youfind at least one otherperson to tap with you. Theone of you that knows thepet can then tune into thefeeling of the pet, or simplyspeak of what you knowhappened or imagine what

    could have happened. Ifin doubt, guess. The otherthen acts as EFT therapist,asking questions andleading/guiding throughthe EFT process.Having one of you managethe process frees theother of you to managethe content and to be

    open to what comes toyou without having to thinkabout the words. If youcan find other people totap with you, then thatseven better, though thereis no proof, my gut feelis that these three caseswere turbo charged by theaction of the group. Onceyou sense the work isdone the person speakingas the animal needs tode-role themselves byrepeating and tapping withI am me and saying theirown name.

    AAMETWhat 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.

    the interview

    AAMETBeing 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 abun-

    dance 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 every-

    ones fears of success and failure, limiting beliefs and overall sabotage behavior, so

    its both fun and gratifying to help them succeed.

    AAMETYou 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 Abundancewith EFT, Improve Your Eyesight with EFT, and the #1 bestselling Amazon Kindle book Stop Feel-

    ing 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 ses-sions with the students, while I provide the Group Coaching Calls, the training prod-

    ucts and the mastermind events.

    AAMETLooking 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 suc-

    cesses all around me with tapping.

    the interview

    AAMETHow 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

    AAMETWhat 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.AAMETWhat 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.

    AAMETWhat 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 healthemselves so they can help others on their journeys to success and deep joy in their

    lives.

    ChooseExpansion

    Imagine how much abundance would flow into your life if youcould Choose Expansion... You would immediately increaseyour positive vibration and success and abundance would start

    to flow into your life.

    Dr. Carol Look, LCSW, EFT Master

    http://www.attractingabundance.com/

    Article

    29/40AAMETLIFEAUTUMN 2013 www.aamet.org 29

    What we all tend to do is to choose feelings or behaviors thatfeel more safe and familiar, which definitely leaves expansionout of the equation! I'm all for safety, but not at the expense ofexpansion.

    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 tostay 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 expandour thoughts, our feelings, our opportunities and behaviors.When we Choose Expansion, we allow ourselves to havebigger dreams, to try something new, and to stop listening toour 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, Iunderstand. But I also know that these are all "tappable" issueswith 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 andenergetically.

    (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 risksbecause of the exciting results. All of these above benefits aregood for your overall abundance picture.

    So I invite you to stop limiting yourself and start to ChooseExpansion. Take some small steps to expand your thoughts,beliefs, feelings and behaviors every day. The value will showup in your life as an improved vibration, more optimism, thewonderful feeling of possibility, and eventually, new channelsof abundance. Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors carryenergy...

    Remember that the Universe hears your vibration not yourwords. The principles of the Law of Attraction remind us that wewill receive more of what we are "broadcasting" to the Universewhen we are in alignment with it. When the universe is able toreceive a clear message from you (no energetic or emotionalinterference) then the Law of Attraction works in your favor. Sowhen you Choose Expansion, the universe will support you.

    Following are EFT setup phrases to help you be inspired torelease your blocks to being able to attract what you want into

    your life. When you change your vibration,you will change yourlife.Go ahead, raise your vibration by being inspired to ChooseExpansion!

    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 wordsto 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 eachof the phrases below. You may repeat the positiveround more than once if you wish. (If you are new toEFT please view a chart of the spots on my web siteunder 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 solutionEyebrow: "I know I've been limiting myself..."Side of Eye: "I want to want to Choose Expansion butI'm afraid."

    Under Eye:"I want to Choose Expansion and enjoyit."

    Nose: "I'm looking forward to taking a few risks in mylife..."

    Chin:"I want to be inspired to Choose Expansion."Collarbone:"I feel hopeful about being able toChoose Expansion."

    Under Arm: "I love feeling inspired to ChooseExpansion."

    Head: "I choose to Choose Expansion starting today!"

    Access more positive vibrations with the Law ofAttraction by repeating the following phrases (whiletapping or not):Thank You, Universe for teaching me how to ChooseExpansion... I feel more aligned with abundancealready!Thank You, Universe for allowing me to feel inspired toChoose Expansion... I am looking forward to upliftingresults!Thank You, Universe for making it so easy for me to

    Choose Expansion... I feel the vibrational shift andpower already!

    Keep tapping, and enjoy using the Lawof Attraction to bring more of what you

    want into your life.

    Our vibration matters!

    Insight

    A Challenge

    you face as anEFT PRACTITIONERby Ray Freeman BA (Hons) PGCE FNCP

    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. Iencourage 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 bestpractice? 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?

    Report: AAMET International Conference 2013

    Next to present was Dr Rupert Sheldrake speaking

    about his book The Science of Delusion.

    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 notfixed, 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.

    Truly fascinating!

    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, Spainand 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.

    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.

    The first presentation after lunch was a very fast

    paced and extremely enthusiastic presentation

    by the renowned holistic physician 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 theheart, 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 presentationentitled Rev up your Business with Research

    and Evaluation Skills created a buzz all of its

    own.

    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 membersof the Training Board and Accreditation Panel

    answering some questions from attendees.

    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 wasover 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!!

    HAPPY PRIZEWINNERS

    Report: AAMET International Conference 2013

    Day two began with an optional Laughter Yogaclass 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 theconference. 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 howto 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 ofkinesiology 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.

    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 EFTFounding 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.

    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 theforms, 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.

    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. Anaudio 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?

    Promotion

    A friend comes to you for treatment or therapy and acci-

    dentally 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 herdental work plus loss of earnings of Euros 5,000. Public Li-

    ability Insurance would cover you in the event of a personal

    injury claim during the course of normal business. If mem-

    bers of the public visit your home or business, you should se-

    riously 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 youviolated 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 successfulclaim to be made before the floodgates open.

    Most insurance companies will offer a blanket cover that in-

    cludes 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 Interna-

    tional (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 60years. If you reside in Malta, Cyprus, Greece, Spain, Republic

    of Ireland, UK or the Netherlands then please email them on

    [email protected]. Balens are also working on pan-Euro-

    pean 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:
