"Hi Everyone, sometimes it is important for clients to maintain privacy regarding their issues.
In such cases, Michelle Hardwick from the UK suggests using the Box Technique. This augments the EFT process in a way that preserves privacy.
In addition, I see it as a way to "take the edge off" of intense issues before getting down to specific events. Please consult physicians on all medical issues. Hugs"
Gary Craig, EFT Founder

Michelle successfully auditioned to be a participant on the Weakest Link a game show here in the UK with Anne Robinson named the "Queen of Mean". Michelle went to the BBC's Pinewood Studios in London on 22 August 2008, had a fantastic day and had her "chat with Anne!" The show was aired on Friday 5th December 2008 at 5.15pm on the BBC.
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going on inside himself.
He said, "My son, it is between two wolves.... One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is good: Joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith".
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied: "The one I feed".

"How can you tame the Self?
Do not criticize another. Do not judge another. Accept all souls as
being in their Higher Self and see them as perfect even when at times
they upset you greatly. Detach from the situation so that you may see
this.
Allow others to experience their own lives. Do
not try to do it for them. Allow them to stumble and fall and learn
what they need to learn. Do not support them so they do not learn from
their own experiences. Control your emotional body-try not to react
to emotional situations."
Maitreya

Contact Michelle for more details. Joan said this about the training: "The training was amazing so much theoretical knowledge and especially process was given. It brought together my EFT learning and then gave me much more. The aspects of knowledge, process and spirituality made sense to me. Integrated so much of my present journey.
I have already used the past-present-future process with great effect with clients. One client already said that this is what made a difference in the session. The 5 major wounds/8 aspects that matter I will use for myself and in my work. All of the addiction material was relevant. Setting up of Imagineering and the other exercises I will do with more precision – both for myself and for others. A very definite “YES” that this was value for money!
It was marvellous. This training pushed forward my EFT learning and understanding to date. I also liked your facilitation, use of appropriate humour, acceptance of participants comments and feedback and focussed facilitation of material when required. Thank you Michelle x” Read more kind comments and testimonials by clicking here!
