Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, publishes the EFT Insights newsletter frequently. It is the Heartbeat of EFT and each edition brings you messages, lessons, announcements, tips, skills and articles written by layman and experts from all over the world.

Tap4Health's EFT Practitioner, Rod Sherwin, often contributes articles that pass on experiences and learnings from working with clients. Each client's identity is always kept confidential and many people around the world relate to the cases and find the learnings useful.

Two of Rod's recent articles were:

• Surrogate tapping on an "Entity"
• An even more tearless trauma technique

You can subscribe to the EFT Insights Newsletter as part of the EFT Getting Started Package.

Tap4Health is interested in doing free EFT demonstrations for any group you think may benefit from EFT. Given EFT is worth trying on every emotional issue or physical symptom this is a wide possible audience. Possible groups and topics include:

• Quit Smoking groups (using EFT for addictions)
• Retirement Homes (using EFT for chronic pain)
• Business Groups (using EFT for stress & anxiety)
• Sporting Groups (using EFT for peak performance psychology)
• Church Groups (using EFT to ease suffering)
• School Groups (using EFT for learning difficulties)
• Community Groups (using EFT for ???)

You get the idea. The goal is always to give the participants significant benefits from their time. Plus they will have take away information to use this incredibly simple technique for the rest of their life.

These demonstrations would be free and obviously we are hoping to raise the profile of EFT in the community.

If you are part of, or have a contact for, a group that would benefit please contact Rod Sherwin at the practice.

Ever felt uncertain about which way to go in life? Uncertain about what your life purpose is? Uncertain about whether to stay or to leave a relationship? Uncertain about whether to stay or leave a city? Uncertain about what to have for lunch?

Usually, when we are swinging between different decisions, we are stuck in our head and trying to use logic to come to a decision. Underneath our thinking is a churn of emotions wanting to be acknowledged. I'll show you a way to use EFT to clear the emotional issues for each decision helping you get clear on your choice.

I will use only two choices in this example but if you have more that two choices in a situation then just continue doing this for all of your choices. I will use 'choice A' and 'choice B' to represent the two choices you are uncertain about. Please substitute your own words for your choices e.g. "Even though I'm uncertain about staying in this town or moving to the coast,...

In the EFT setup acknowledge the conflict in yourself between the choices you have. Keep the tapping points handy as you work through the process.

While tapping on the karate chop point say,
"Even though I'm uncertain about whether to choose A or B, I accept this conflict within myself.
Even though I think A and B are both good, I accept myself. Even though there are downsides to both A and B, I accept myself.
Even though I'm mentally worn out trying to make up my mind about these issues, I release the need the decide right now and ask my subconscious mind and higher self to clearly communicate the best choice for me."

Now pick one of the decisions and start tapping through the rest of the points. At each point you will tap on one perceived positive thing about choice A and on the next point you will tap on one perceived downside of choice A. Continue tapping through the points until you run out of considerations about choice A.

Head: "Choice A is good because..." (be sure to complete the sentence for your choice at each point)
Eyebrows: "Choice A is not good because..."
Side of Eyes: "I like choice A because..."
Under Eyes: "I don't like choice A because..."
Under Nose: "I want to do choice A because..."
Chin Point: "I don't want to do choice A because..."
Collarbones: "Choice A is better for me because..."
Under Arms: "I don't like .... about choice A"
Wrists: "Even though Choice A has good and bad sides, I accept the uncertainty in myself."

Now repeat the same series of tapping only this time substitute choice B into the phrases as you say them. If you have more than two choices then continue tapping through each of the alternatives that you are considering.

After these rounds of tapping, give yourself a break from thinking about the problem for at least 1 hour and preferably a night's sleep. Then reconsider the situation and you will find you have a new perspective and much more certainty about the choice to make - and the choice you ultimately make may be completely different from the alternatives you tapped on. Look forward to being pleasantly surprised!

If you are not already aware of this threat to our Freedom of Health then read this informative summary by Health Activist Lydia McNicol. While some of you are not in Australia, check out the web sites to see if your country has been effected.

Lydia McNicol:-

Australians currently have access to excellent natural healthcare, which includes many herb, vitamin & mineral supplements and the freedom to consult the natural therapist of our choice.

If the Government manages to pass its “Joint Tasman Agency” legislation, our health freedom will be a thing of the past. Health supplement regulations will become part of an international policy, which will fall under “Codex” guidelines. Australia will then have to adhere to Codex or they will face trade sanctions.

What is the Codex Legislation? In a nutshell, Codex has a global agenda that is overwhelmingly influenced by global companies, particularly pharmaceutical. This industry is anxious to recoup profits lost to natural healthcare.

The legislation is a result of a complex relationship between the United Nations, the World Trade Organisation and the World Health Organisation.

Basic Codex guidelines:

• Prohibits therapeutic dosages of vitamins and minerals. (Supplements will only be available on a Doctor's prescription, at minimal dosages and much higher prices)
• Permits non-labelling of GE foods
• Allows high levels of chemicals in foods
• Encourages antibiotics in animal feed
• Restricts organic food (where Australia is well regarded)
• Permits irradiation of food and herbs
