We all need things in our lives that excite us, make us leap out of bed in the morning with joy and gratitude for the day, that ignite our passion and reason for living – I’ve recently been attracted to/attracted another one of mine.

As you know, I’m a Law of Attraction gal. Energy is the stuff of creation, so if you want to make real change in the world, the most effective way to go about it is starting at the energetic level.

I have some wonderful friends who are passionate about saving dolphins – but rather than becoming an activist, physically interrupting or reporting on violent activities, and creating confrontation, I’ve made the decision to help at the energetic level – the level where real magic happens.

So yesterday I created my first tapping video for dolphins – the first of what I hope will become a series in a movement worldwide of energy healers joining together for this purpose. My human friends who are passionate about dolphins dropped out of sight, but when I did a round of tapping and asked the dolphins to guide me in the tapping on their behalf, they totally showed up for me energetically. It was unmistakable.

I hope you’ll join me, using your favorite healing modality – be it EFT or other meridian tapping, Ho’oponopono, prayer, and others – and help create the world as a safe place full of love and joy and peace for dolphins as well as humans by becoming part of my new ning community, Keep Dolphins Safe.

Hope to see you there soon!

It’s the beginning of April, the start of the new school year here in Japan. As I’m planning my goals for myself and for my students, I’d like to introduce one of my most important teachers of last year – one of my students. My friend Bob recommended I tell the story on video, so you’ll find the video in two parts below. Making the video, and reflecting on what I learned from my student led to two new EFT tapping videos, which follow.

Next are the tapping videos inspired by this the experiences with this student. The first one is for those times when there is someone who is really bothering you.

This next one is for teachers, when you’re having trouble seeing a student as the representation of Divine light and love that s/he truly is.

Thank you for watching, for favoriting, for blessing these videos with your 5-star rating on YouTube, and for sharing them.

Here’s to Your Transformation!

It’s that time of year again. We all start going nuts trying to plan how we want to overhaul our lives – and the more of a high achiever you are, the more likely you are to fall into this potential trap.

So this year I have a gift for you. I’ve posted 2 short videos to help you release all the pressure you are putting on yourself to change your life RIGHT NOW with the change in the year – so that you can more easily attract in the kind of life you want to have.

I had to split it in two because of the YouTube 10 min time limit. The first half has the intro explanation of why it’s a good thing to do.

and this second part has the actual tapping, and I mention a few of my favorite mentors toward the end.

Here’s to Your Transformation!

May you have a Blessed and truly wonderful New Year!

Are you making this common, but devastating weight-loss mistake? If you’re beating up on yourself for being overweight, berating yourself for eating too much of the wrong foods, or you’re belittling yourself for not exercising, you’re doing it all wrong! That’s the recipe for creating more of exactly the same pattern (or an expanded version of it!)

If you accept the Law of Attraction at any level, then this probably isn’t news to you. And yet, many people continue to focus on what they don’t want, and try to bully their bodies into submission when it comes to weight-loss. Are you one of them? Let’s find out…

–Do you look at your body in the mirror and feel anything other than joy and gratitude?

–When you look at yourself in the mirror, are you saying anything other than words of sweet adoration?

–Do you feel like your body doesn’t look good enough to wear certain kinds of clothes?

–Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “When I lose weight, I’ll …(fill in your dream here).”

–Do you ever feel like you aren’t deserving of love because of your weight?

–Do you ever look at your body and think of yourself as a failure?

–Do you ever threaten your body, saying things like, “If you don’t exercise you’re going to get SO FAT!”

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these you’ve played the bully role to your body at one time or another. The more you’ve done it, the more of a bully you’ve been to yourself. So now let me ask you this: How is that working out for you?

Since you’re still reading this I’m guessing your answer is something along the lines of, “Not so well.”

Before I give you the key, I want to acknowledge your honesty and your courage for taking the quiz above and really look at what you’ve been doing up to now that hasn’t been working. This key that I’m about to share with you may sound really simple, but it’s extremely powerful, and played an essential role in my own physical transformation.

So if bullying your body doesn’t work, if shaming or threatening yourself doesn’t work, what does?

Love and Respect Your Body Now.

That’s it. Beautiful in its simplicity. You must be loving and respectful of your body if you want to recreate its image. This is not optional. Anything less is a deal breaker. If you want to return to your truly natural state of being thin, healthy and gorgeous, you must love yourself right now, just as you are.

Why? For one thing, you’ll get much greater cooperation with your body if you are coming from a place of love and respect for your body. Just as when interacting with other people, when you are coming from a place of love and respect you get a completely different response than if you are coming from a place of anger, hatred or disgust.

Secondly, in order to change what you are creating in the physical world, you need to change what you are creating energetically. You need to be in the energy of already feeling slim to create the slim body you want. You need to be in the energy of feeling good about wearing a short skirt in order to create the body that looks great in that short skirt.

As you’re reading this you might not be feeling the love for yourself that I’m describing, and that’s okay. The good news is it’s just an energy response. It’s like an old software program that you have running. You can change it, and you’d be surprised at how easily and quickly you can change it.

One of the easiest ways to change it is with a meridian tapping therapy such as EFT. EFT is so simple, children and beginners have great success with it. It’s also a wonderful tool for collapsing cravings and shifting your level of motivation on things like exercise – so instead of forcing yourself to exercise, you could feel inspired and excited about exercise. Instead of forcing yourself to avoid certain foods, you can feel attracted to foods that support your radiant health.

If you’d like to be guided through it step by step check out my Home Slimming Course here: http://www.HomeSlimmingCourse.com.

So start today. Love your body now.

Here’s to Your Transformation!

I recently had a conversation with one of my coaches in The Artistry of Life Course, Alan Ray (www.creativeselfexpression.com ). It was so inspired, and so well-crafted an answer about how to create what we want in our lives, I asked for and was granted permission to share it with all of you here. This is the second part of his answer to me.

Alan’s Answer: Into the Woods PART 2

Here’s how I found the place. One day I was driving to Austin from Houston with a girl I was dating at the time. Halfway back to Austin, she suggested we pull off in a small town called Bastrop to have lunch. And I said, okay. So we did.

She pulled her SUV up on the main street and into a parking space. I got out of the car and saw an old pair of boxing gloves hanging in a store window. This was my first clue as I had written that there was an old pair of boxing gloves hanging on the wall in the story. So, immediately it caught my attention.

I got out of the SUV, walked right up to the window, stared at the boxing gloves, then went inside an antique shop that used to be an old bar. Then I got really excited, because I new that I was at the right place at the right time. Turns out there was an empty bar room adjacent to the one that I was standing in. I had a look at it and it was perfect. We wound up shooting the film there a few weeks later.

Funny thing, the restaurant we had planned to go to that day was closed.

So the action that led to me finding the location for my film was to say ‘Yes, lets go have lunch there.’ In no way did I even remotely see it connecting to my film.

The point here is that inspired action may seem completely unrelated to what it is that you’re creating. But that’s what makes the action inspired, as opposed to some planned action that your rational mind might give you.

The reason I’ve included his wonderful explanation of this creative process is because the process works the same way with your body and your health, but we’re not used to thinking of it this way.

I recently had a conversation with one of my coaches in The Artistry of Life Course, Alan Ray (http://www.creativeselfexpression.com/). It was so inspired, and so well-crafted an answer about how to create what we want in our lives, I asked for and was granted permission to share it with all of you here. It’s a bit longer than my usual posts, so I am posting it in two parts as he wrote them.

 Teresa’s question: So if you were to give us an example of creating action steps for your creations – without any kind of forcing or ‘have to’ kind of energy, what would those look like? For example, you wrote that you intend on having the script for the first season completed by the end of the month – and that reads in my mind like a whole lot of actions, rather than just one. So for you is that writing every morning first thing? or writing when you feel inspired to write? or is it an outline that you create and fill in day by day?

I guess what I’m asking is you’ve shown me the forest, and the woods – which are beautiful in the distance. Would you please now share the trees, the branches, the bark, and the leaves – the colors, the textures, the sounds, the fragrance of those woods? Thanks!

 
Alan’s answer: Into the Woods PART I

Great question.

I’m usually always listening for inspiration. When an idea comes to me that gets my attention and interest, I begin to put more focused energy on it. I do this several ways. First by thinking about it or imagining it in my mind. Secondly, I always share it with other people. Always. You never know who may play a part in what you want to create.

Once I get clear on what I want to create, then I listen for what the voice of inspiration says next. Usually, this will involve taking an action. The action may be to share it with a friend. The action may be (in the case of my new web series idea) to sit down and let the story flow through me. It’s not really something I have to write as much as it is something that I tune into and receive. Then I just write down what I see and hear.

It’s a step by step process. As you listen for inspired actions to take, you want to be clear that you may be prompted to do things that may not seem to connect to what it is that you are creating.

Example; Once I was working on a short film and needed to find a location. So, there was my original intention, to make a film. Finding a location to film in then became part of I would need to do to fulfill on my intention. The setting for that particular story was an old, empty bar with ceiling fans, hardwood floor, round tables, etc. I didn’t know of any place like that, but I was intending to attract a place like that into my reality.

I’ll post the second part of Alan’s answer for you tomorrow. In the meantime you can find out more about Alan’s work here:

Have you ever seen or heard a child in distress and wanted to help, but been in a situation where you felt you couldn’t?

If it’s your own child, you’ve probably already taught her about EFT, she uses it herself and isn’t surprised if you reach over and start tapping on her head.

But what if it’s someone you don’t know?

This kind of situation arose when I visited Todaiji last week. A mother and her child were bitten by deer overly zealous for deer cookies. The mother, still holding the deer cookies above her head, was busy fending off 5 or 6 deer and couldn’t immediately attend to her hysterical young daughter a few meters away.

Perfect situation for Surrogate Tapping. This video explains how to do it:

As you get more practiced with the surrogate healing using EFT, you don’t even need to physically tap on your body, often just directing the energy as if you were tapping is enough.

You’ll know when the person you have done the surrogate tapping for has made a shift, because there will be an obvious change – a change in expression, a change in voice – and often it happens rapidly. Hysteria one moment to glee the next.

In the case of the little girl bitten by the deer, when she shifted she went from tearful, frightened bawling to a cheery smile saying, “Hey! Look at that cute fawn over there.” in the blink of an eye.

Thank you for sharing your healing gifts with the world through Surrogate Tapping!

In love and gratitude,

Teresa

As we move into the fall, more and more people are worrying about the swine flu. The problem with worrying of course is that when you put energy on something you are more likely to attract it to you. Simply trying not to think about it doesn’t work so well either, because if you don’t clear it from your energy you’re still attracting it energetically.

The media is directing and fanning our fears on this as well. The other day on CNN-J there was a statistic that 90,000 people in the US are expected to get the swine flu this next flu season.

Fortunately there is a very  easy solution, and that is to address your fears and concerns with EFT, the emotional freedom technique, which is a kind of meridian tapping healing modality. If you haven’t already, please watch and tap along with my  video to help protect you and your loved ones from the swine flu.

Thank you for sharing this video with everyone you know and doing your part to help stop this flu before it really gets rolling.

During our summer vacation, I got to live one of my dreams. I had the opportunity to swim and play with dolphins, something I have wanted to do since I was 18 months old, and my mother had a job for a short time training dolphins.

I didn’t realize it when we made the appointment, but until I started using EFT,  my weight would have been an obstacle to living this sort of dream. Now it is so far from being an obstacle, that it didn’t even occur to me to check and see if there were any size limits. Instead, I cheerfully and joyously showed up in my bikini ready to live this dream.

I’m afraid you don’t get to see me in my bikini though, because they put us participants in wetsuits.

I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing what dreams you get to live thanks to your weight-loss or other healing experiences with EFT.
