<p>Did you get a chance to attend the 2013 EFT Tapping World Summit?</p>
<p>I listened in to many of the sessions. I especially made a point to tune into the Choices Method by Dr Patricia Carrington. It&#8217;s a method with so many layers and possibilities. Although I have her work on DVD already, it is always a pleasure to hear from her live.</p>
<h2>Own the 2013 Tapping World Summit</h2>
<p>Although the World Tapping Summit finished a few days ago on 14th Feb<strong>, they are still offering you an opportunity to upgrade and own the entire event for yourself</strong>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">This upgrade option lets you own the actual audio presentations, along with the workbook, transcripts and bonuses in either digital or hard copy format.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>So even if you missed the sessions, you don&#8217;t have to miss out on this <a title="2013 World Tapping Summit Upgrade Options" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4981464" target="_blank">valuable information</a>.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>However they do close their doors soon. <a title="2013 World Tapping Summit Upgrade Options" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4981464" target="_blank">You only have until midnight on Friday 22nd February (Pacific Time) to upgrade.</a></p>
<h2>Reasons to Upgrade</h2>
<p><strong>Scientifically Proven</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">EFT or &#8220;Tapping&#8221; has been <a title="http://www.energypsych.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&amp;subarticlenbr=288" href="http://www.energypsych.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&amp;subarticlenbr=288" target="_blank">scientifically proven</a> to work in a number of areas.  For example, in one study 30 minutes of Tapping was shown to reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone in the body) by 24% as compared to 30 minutes of talk therapy or 30 minutes of no therapy at all.</p>
<p><strong>Endorsed by Experts</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Tapping is highly supported by some of the <strong>world&#8217;s leading personal development experts</strong> such as Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Gay Hendricks, Arielle Ford, Joe Vitale and so many others.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">As well as <strong>world leading health experts</strong> like Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Kris Carr, Dr. Eric Robbins and Dr. Christiane Northrup.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">And even <strong>world leading therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists</strong> like Eric Leskowitz (Ph.D. &#8211; Harvard University), Carol Look,  David Feinstein Ph.D., and Dr. Patricia Carrington</p>
<p><strong>Endorsed by &#8220;Ordinary&#8221; People</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Beyond the scientific research that has been done and the world-leading experts who support it, what&#8217;s most impressive is how many people have said that they have achieved great results with Tapping.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">There is case after case after case of everyday people just like you sharing their results with Tapping, not only from this Tapping World Summit event but all over the web.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">They&#8217;ve shown results in pretty much any area you can think of…like improving finances, losing weight, eliminating physical pain, or negative emotions, or limiting beliefs, creating the relationship of your dreams and so much more…</p>
<p><strong>Global Impact</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The impact it&#8217;s having on a global scale is unreal.  Tapping is being used with tremendous results for those most deeply affected by the school shooting in Newtown, CT, with children survivors of the Genocide in Rwanda, and with war veterans suffering with PTSD.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>If Tapping is working on these extremely tough situations just imagine the miracles it can create in your life…</strong></p>
<p><a title="2013 World Tapping Summit Upgrade Options" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4981464" target="_blank">You can check it all out here </a>- Take advantage of it before it ends at midnight Pacific Time on Friday 22nd February.</p>
<p>P.S. &#8211; The pricing is extremely reasonable.  In fact, this is the 5th year in a row they&#8217;ve run this event and the price has never gone up once. They genuinely care first and foremost about getting this information out to those who truly want to use it and get results.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1688" alt="What is Clinical Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis?" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/dilbert-hypnosis.jpg" width="600" height="184" /></p>
<p>Most people first learn about hypnotism from Scooby-Doo cartoons, playground games and movie cliches. It gets imprinted in the mind as some hocus pocus that leaves us at the mercy of someone else&#8217;s will.</p>
<p>Although hypnotism has been used widely by entertainers and charlatans for hundreds of years, it&#8217;s important to know that <strong>the state of Hypnosis is a naturally occuring phenomena that you fall into yourself several times a day without any coersion whatsoever.</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Stage Hypnosis and Clinical Hypnotherapy are not the same thing.</strong></p>
<p>Generally when people go to see a <strong>stage hypnotist</strong> they are consciously going for entertainment and are mentally anticipating certain behaviours. Stage hypnotists are highly skilled at cold reading people. They can pick out people from the audience who will provide the most entertainment value.</p>
<p><strong>Clinical Hypnotherapy </strong>uses hypnosis in a clinical setting to help you to access the knowledge and wisdom you have stored at a subconscious level. The hypnotherapist enables you to explore your issue and establish its reach and boundaries. Many hypnotherapists use custom scripts to help instil positive beliefs. A good and effective hypnotherapist will write the script &#8220;in your language&#8221; using your own belief systems and metaphors you can relate to.</p>
<p><strong>Hypnoanalysis</strong> is a specialised and very powerful enhancement of hypnotherapy. It combines aspects of <a title="What is NLP?" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/potential/tools-resources/what-is-nlp/">NLP</a> with hypnotherapy to bring about change from a core level. For me, hypnoanalysis is the preferred route because it helps with resolution.</p></blockquote>
<h2>Doing Hypnoanalysis</h2>
<p>First through hypnotherapy, you achieve a relaxed state. Then through hypnoanalysis, you are guided to focus your attention intently on your issue in a way that is problem-solving rather than problem-dwelling. You will be asked questions and given mental exercises to do that compels your subconscious to find new perspectives. New perspectives hold new solutions.</p>
<p>Hypnoanalysis provides a break from everyday critical thinking and engages you to discover your own solutions. Many people are pleasantly surprised when they experience the deeply relaxed state and realise they remain aware of their own free will.</p>
<p>There are restrictions on using hypnoanalysis. You wouldn&#8217;t use it with young children or with people who have recently suffered a stroke or heart attack. It&#8217;s also not a suitable therapy for telecoaching or other remote coaching methods.</p>
<h2>Benefits of Hypnoanalysis</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis both enable you to access your subconscious mind where many of your answers lie.</li>
<li>Hypnoanalysis bypasses your normal head-chatter that ordinarily results in self-sabotage and protective denial.</li>
<li>Hypnoanalysis allows you to peel back layers of your issue and deal with each one effectively.</li>
<li>As you address the issue at a subconscious leve, the effects filter through so that your conscious efforts can be more rewarding.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How Hypnoanalysis Helps During Psychotherapy &amp; Coaching</h2>
<ul>
<li>Hypnoanalysis overcomes psychological resistance to dealing with an issue because it bypasses the part of you that over-thinks and edits your answers. You can relax knowing that the hypnotherapist is only going to focus on your issue.</li>
<li>For people who feel overwhelmed and unable to discuss their problem, hypnotherapy gives you a break by enabling your subconscious to take the driving seat.</li>
<li>Hypnotherapy acts like a temporary time out. It takes the pressure off you for a while and gives you some breathing space to develop new behaviours. Hypnoanalysis not only takes the pressure off you, it also helps you to come to terms and deal with the root of the issue. So any new behaviours that arise, arise because you&#8217;re naturally ready for them.</li>
<li>Some clinical hypnotherapists will teach you how to do self-hypnosis. By learning self-hypnosis you empower yourself to take time-outs or deal with challenges between sessions. Self-hypnosis is a good life skill to have &#8211; it helps aid focus for a successful outcome. It&#8217;s been used by sportsmen, women in childbirth, people getting a tattoo and in thousands more situations.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Guided Meditation</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m including Guided Meditation in this section because it is very similar to self-hypnosis.</p>
<p>Guided Meditation is a focused relaxation where you gain the ability to let go of the problems and issues facing you and instead, concentrate your mind on a different aspect that helps you to overcome the problem.</p>
<p>In coaching and therapy, Guided Meditation is used to assist with getting through subconscious resistance. It is also sometimes used as a relaxation aid at the beginning and/or end of a session.</p>
<p>It has remarkable daily applications such as anger-management, nervousness, relaxation in the middle of a hectic day, controlling blood pressure etc.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1681" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1681" alt="Coffee shops and life go together. Coffee shops and coaching... not so much." src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Ethics-of-coaching-in-a-coffee-shop.jpg" width="550" height="416" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Coffee shops and life go together. Coffee shops and coaching&#8230; not so much. <a title="http://rwendes.blogspot.com" href="http://rwendes.blogspot.com" target="_blank">image credit</a></p></div>
<p>I&#8217;ve lost count of the number of blog posts I have read that start &#8220;At the coffee shop I overheard&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>People are interested in people and that&#8217;s why a coffee shop will never be a private and confidential place to conduct your business.</p>
<p><strong>So sitting in Gloria Jeans listening to a life coaching session in full swing on the next table was odd to me. </strong></p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t an introductory chat about life coaching in generic terms.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>It was a full blown life coaching session and the client was revealing aspects of herself to her life coach&#8230; and revealing them to me and others at the same time.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>People really don&#8217;t mind this?</strong> I went home and did a Google search for &#8220;life coaching in a coffee shop&#8221;&#8230; Wow!, There are over a million results!</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s evidently a common practice but I can&#8217;t help wondering about the ethics of it.</p>
<p>While life coaching is not psychotherapy, it is nevertheless an intensely personal and private process.</p>
<p>Life coaching is a way of helping you accomplish more than you would on your own. A life coach helps you to strategise meeting your personal and/or professional goals. This involves thinking about your motivations and desires and you may possibly be doing this for the first time.  Wouldn&#8217;t you like to do this in a private environment that supports your journey?</p>
<p><strong>A coffee shop is not that environment because neither you nor your coach have control over it.</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Even a quiet coffee shop may not stay quiet for the full duration of your session. Groups of chattering people could come in at any time.</li>
<li>Other customers and hovering waiters distract you from your thought process.</li>
<li>Another client might pass by and stop for a chat with the coach.</li>
<li>A friend or relative might see you and ask questions you don&#8217;t want to answer.</li>
<li>In any coaching situation there is always the possibility of touching an emotional trigger. You need the security of knowing you are in a safe place if this happens.</li>
<li>Even if it&#8217;s acceptable in the beginning, as the sessions get more intense and personal, your comfort zone is breached and you stop attending the sessions because discussing your personal aims in public is simply not comfortable any more.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>I freely admit privacy is important to me and I take it for granted that it&#8217;s important to my clients too.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s not like discussing problems with a friend. <strong>When you pay a coach, you&#8217;re not just paying for guidance. You&#8217;re also paying for confidentiality, focus and respect.</strong></p>
<p>I cannot imagine asking a client to tell me about his limiting beliefs, his deepest values or how long he has been depressed in a coffee shop surrounded by strangers, clattering cups and gossip.</p>
<p>Put me out of my misery and tell me what you think. Am I out of touch?</p>
<p>Would you have or have you had life coaching in a coffee shop? Are you a life coach who works from a coffee shop?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a personal development &amp; psychotherapy approach that, like <a title="What is NLP?" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/potential/tools-resources/what-is-nlp/">NLP</a>, comes under the banner of talk therapy. NLP took the principles of CBT and developed them further.</p>
<p>CBT takes an issue such as anxiety or a phobia etc and helps you solve the puzzle of what makes that issue come about in your body. It approaches from the logical perspective that your thoughts and behaviours exist because you learned them at some point. <a title="Thoughts Create Reality" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/thoughts-create-reality/">Thoughts create the Emotions that define your Reality</a>.</p>
<p>CBT techniques help you deconstruct &#8211; unlearn &#8211; these negative responses.</p>
<h2>Doing CBT</h2>
<p>CBT techniques are goal driven and involve an analysis of motives combined with a conscious effort to implement new behaviours. For this reason, CBT is sometimes more effective when applied after other therapies have addressed subconscious resistance.</p>
<h2>Benefits of CBT</h2>
<ul>
<li>Because CBT is educational and analytical, it develops self awareness of the components behind specific thoughts and behaviours.</li>
<li>CBT helps validate and assert your individual place in the world.</li>
<li>CBT can be done by yourself between sessions helping you to integrate new behaviours.</li>
<li>CBT is a goal driven approach that improves your sense of self-responsibility and achievement.</li>
<li>Consciously implementing new strategies improves your empowerment and resiliance.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How CBT Helps During Psychotherapy &amp; Coaching</h2>
<ul>
<li>CBT focus on solutions.</li>
<li>CBT takes a problem such as anxiety and deconstructs it so you can see the triggers (thoughts, sounds, sights etc) that are keeping it going.</li>
<li>CBT teaches you self-help techniques to break the triggers and establish new behaviours.</li>
<li>CBT helps you to take ownership of your behaviours by helping you see how those behaviours are being maintained by your thoughts.</li>
</ul>
<p>CBT can be a bit over analytical and &#8220;independent&#8221; for some people. In my experience people whose emotions are overwhelming or simply do not want to pick through their chains of thought in a logical manner have better success with a combination of <a title="What is NLP?" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/potential/tools-resources/what-is-nlp/">NLP</a> and <a title="What is Emotional Freedom Techniques and Tapping (EFT)?" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/potential/tools-resources/what-is-emotional-freedom-techniques-and-tapping-eft/">EFT</a>.</p>
<p>Through identifying limiting beliefs and challenging them, you come to enjoy new ways of being that support your wellbeing and future goals.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4955963" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1632" style="margin: 20px;" alt="TWS 2013" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/TWS-20131.jpg" width="250" height="264" /></a>A quick reminder that if you haven&#8217;t registered for the FREE Tapping World Summit, you need to get your skates on and <a title="Register for the 2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4963411" target="_blank">do it now.</a> Before they take away the pre-event offers.</p>
<p><strong>But don&#8217;t worry if you&#8217;re registering a little late &#8211; The event is from 4th Feb to 14th Feb. You will miss the days that have already gone and the pre-event special discounts to the upgrade packages, but <a title="Register for the 2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4963411" target="_blank">you&#8217;ve still got a great line up in store and you can always purchase the seminars you missed</a>.</strong></p>
<p>The Tapping World Summit teaches an impressive technique known as <a title="What is Emotional Freedom Techniques and Tapping (EFT)?" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/potential/tools-resources/what-is-emotional-freedom-techniques-and-tapping-eft/">&#8220;EFT&#8221;</a> or &#8220;Tapping&#8221; and it&#8217;s 100% free to attend online.</p>
<p>There are already 401,357 people registered for the event! I think they&#8217;re easily going to top last year&#8217;s attendance numbers.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;ve had some emails from people asking if it&#8217;s really worth attending a free event. My answer is YES!</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve attended the event myself and am doing so again this year. Even though I&#8217;m already an experienced coach, I find the event very useful for new perspectives and to see how others are using it.</p>
<p>The organisers have always acted with integrity. <strong>While their priority is to provide an enormous amount of value for free, they offer upgrade options for those who want them.</strong></p>
<h2>What is an Upgrade Option?</h2>
<p>If you want to own the recordings, or the companion workbook, or the transcripts, or any of the regular audio bonuses, and the special pre-event video bonuses, you&#8217;ll need to upgrade to the gold access (all<br />
digital download) or the platinum access (where you get the printed workbook and 23 CD&#8217;s mailed to your door).</p>
<p>If you register today before 8pm EST and you decide to upgrade, they give you some special pre-event bonuses &#8211; including over 8 hours of powerful videos with all the big-name EFT &amp; Personal Development experts.</p>
<p>Nick Ortner, Kris Carr, Louise Hay, Dr. Mark Hyman, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Bruce Lipton, Cheryl Richardson, Joe Vitale, Dr. Joseph Mercola, Carol Look, Patricia Carrington, Carol Tuttle and Dawson Church.</p>
<p>And since there&#8217;s a 90-day money-back guarantee, there is zero risk involved in upgrading today.</p>
<p>To learn more about the upgrade option (and to register for the event if you haven&#8217;t yet) just <a title="Register for the 2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4963412" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Remember that upgrading is OPTIONAL.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You can still attend the event for free whether you want to upgrade or not. EFT is a powerful technique that can have a life-altering impact for you, but it&#8217;s up to you to<a title="Register for the 2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4963412" target="_blank"> show up at the event</a>!</p>
<p><strong>Feedback from the previous events:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;What a wonderful ten days!  I need to tap on withdrawals from missing the interviews.  Jessica was a fabulous interviewer, asking just what I wanted to know at the right time.&#8221;-Suzanne Wright &#8211; Oregon,USA</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;I hope you guys can somehow hear the thunderous applause that is surely circling the world for you right now.  This was a DYNAMITE event, and this grand finale with Jessica today was just fantastic. You guys are the absolute best, you have given phenomenal gifts here with each presentation, and may you receive a thousand blessings in return. EFT has never come alive for me the way you&#8217;ve made it do in these last ten days. I am very, very grateful, and yes, I will keep tapping and will tell you what lights comeon, what doors open in the coming months.&#8221;~With much love, Natasha Suter &#8211; Ithaca, New York</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;This trip has been amazing. I am so thankful that you gave me the opportunity to be a part of this, and I will continue to tap – and maybe take an education in EFT later on.  Fantastic.  A few weeks ago I tapped on hip pain, and it disappeared within a couple of minutes!!Every session have been useful to me, and I will look more into it (I have written it all down) when I finish my education in September. Jessica&#8217;s 40 day tapping challenge will be done. Her “mystery bonus audio” was a special experience.  It helped me see a lot of experiences/feelings to tap on.&#8221;~ Merete &#8211; Bodo, Norway</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;OMG! That summit was amazing! I just wanted to say thank you, thank you! I knew about EFT from when I was in LA but I now know so much more and I had ah-ha moments almost everyday! especially the one series about Highly Sensitive People &#8211; which I found out I am and have been beating myself up about it forever!  Now I know how to tap for it and realize its a blessing to be so connected to my feelings and intuition!  &#8221;I loved, loved, loved the whole series! you are so kind to put all of this information out there and for free- I know this is huge for me and for the world! I can sense huge changes a-brewing! I kinda miss it already! Tell Jessica I am doing the 40 day challenge&#8230; this is exciting&#8230;who knows where I will be in 40 days! Thank you again!&#8221;~ Love, Christine en route to New York City, NY USA</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a process of emotional realignment that helps you chase away monsters and introduces empowerment into all aspects of your life.</p>
<p>If you have ever been frustrated at how rational thinking just doesn&#8217;t help you deal with something, EFT will probably do the trick for you and here&#8217;s an example.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>My Boss is a Monster</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignleft  wp-image-1589" style="margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;" alt="My boss is a monster" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/boss-monster.jpg" width="208" height="153" />Your <a title="Thoughts Create Reality" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/thoughts-create-reality/">thoughts create your reality</a>. If you think someone&#8217;s a monster based on the evidence you see, then in your reality that person is a monster. Even if he has a mother who loves him.</p>
<p>But say that person is your boss and burns you up with his ideas and policies.</p>
<p>Each day you are stressed, fighting dragons, banging into brick walls, hating your boss more and more. Your partner is sick hearing about it. Perhaps you keep it bottled up inside, all that pressure getting ready to <a title="Be Stress Smart: 5 Signs Your Stress is Reaching the Danger Zone" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/conflict/stress/be-stress-smart-5-signs-your-stress-is-reaching-the-danger-zone/">explode</a>.</p>
<p><strong>EFT helps you to adjust your perspective.</strong> It doesn&#8217;t change who you are. It simply retunes your monster-meter and what might happen is that you become more accepting of his individuality. A monster becomes an individual. An <strong>individual</strong> is a <strong>person</strong> you can <strong>relate</strong> to and <strong>work with</strong>.</p>
<p>Automatically, your responses to him change. You do not compromise your values but somehow the bottleneck has dispersed. Communication improves, you see options where there were none before. The sun comes out.</p>
<p>Makes work a happier place knowing you&#8217;re going to work for a person rather than a monster. Right?</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Chakra, Chi, Life Force&#8230; there are many names for the energy that runs through us. During a shock, upset or period of stress, the energies can become disrupted.</strong></p>
<p><em>Monster bosses&#8230; depression&#8230; anxiety&#8230; panic attacks&#8230; lethargy&#8230; these are all examples of disrupted energy.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_1423" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 440px"><a href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4942685"><img class="size-full wp-image-1423" alt="Mark Hyman Video EFT Tapping Summit 2013" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/mark-hyman-video.jpg" width="430" height="242" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Can Emotions Be Trapped in Your Cells?&nbsp;</p>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>EFT taps into this disruption and helps with emotional realignment.</strong></p>
<p>The beauty of EFT is that it&#8217;s a non-invasive process that works with whatever you are going through. It does not force you to be cheery or deny your negativity or pretend you are over something when you are not.</p>
<p>My <a title="Coaching: Empower Your Life" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/training-services/self-empowerment-training/">personal approach</a> draws heavily upon the core principles of EFT and combines these seamlessly with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).</p>
<p>The core principles of EFT were developed by Gary Craig from Thought-Field Therapy (TFT). TFT in turn draws its principles from even earlier meridian techniques that can be traced back to early Chinese and Indian principles. EFT is also referred to as Meridian Tapping by some people.</p>
<h2>Doing EFT (or Tapping)</h2>
<p>EFT involves tapping on a series of meridian points on the face and upper body whilst in tune with the problem. Depending on the issue, relief can occur within the same session. Complex, intertwined issues need several sessions over a number of weeks.</p>
<h2>Benefits of EFT Tapping</h2>
<ul>
<li>EFT is easy to learn &amp; apply</li>
<li>EFT is completely natural and non-invasive</li>
<li>EFT is gentle yet powerful enough to handle major traumas</li>
<li>Professionally applied, EFT can bring relief to a range of complex issues. I find it an indispensible tool that allows phobias, weight issues, eating disorders, allergies, addictions, negativity and many other issues to be addressed in short periods of time. I have used it successfully with clients on issues including cluster headaches, recovery after major surgery and strokes, IBS and sexual abuse.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How EFT Helps During Psychotherapy &amp; Coaching</h2>
<ul>
<li>EFT embraces your current state of mind</li>
<li>EFT allows you to follow chains of thoughts and linkages the way your mind produces them</li>
<li>The benefits of EFT are cumulative. You do not have to do EFT for every monster boss you have ever had in order for your emotional response to be transformed</li>
<li>You can do EFT on your own. I often set you EFT homework</li>
<li>EFT helps you to reach into your subconscious and understand what really bothers you.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>If you have ever&#8230;</strong><br />
- Tapped your fingers on a desk in a moment of stress<br />
- Tapped the side of your head with a pencil while you&#8217;re concentrating<br />
- Noticed how automatic, almost mandatory, these actions are</p>
<p><strong>Then, you have already experienced your body&#8217;s subtle prompting to realign energy.</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s NOT a load of hard-selling. This EFT Tapping event is 100% content, all designed to help you get results (<span style="text-decoration: underline;">see important note below</span>)</p>
<p>All 10 days of it are free -<em><strong> just as they have been free for the last four years</strong></em>.</p>
<p>In the event that starts on February 4th, you&#8217;ll learn exactly how to use Tapping for a variety of different issues.</p>
<p>Last year there were over 500,000 people who registered &#8211; be one of them this year. The event only happens once a year and is a great way to learn EFT for free.</p>
<h1>Tap With The Experts</h1>
<p>In this online event, some of the most reknowned names in the EFT world will tap along with you in condensed sessions specifically designed to give you the resources that you can apply to your life immediately.</p>
<p>They will help you break the patterns of self-sabotage, of anxiety, of procrastination, of whatever is holding you back. <a title="2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4955963" target="_blank">Register Here</a></p>
<p>If you are going through something severe or something that you cannot deal with on your own, this summit will show you how EFT can potentially help you and you&#8217;ll benefit from the knowledge when you hire a coach to help you work through it later.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve supported this event every year since it first began &#8211; I&#8217;ve seen EFT create core transformational change in my clients and I thoroughly recommend you register.</p>
<blockquote><p>Even if you don&#8217;t know you can make the dates, at least you&#8217;ll be registered to receive your login details in time. It&#8217;s totally free. It&#8217;s a cliche but nevertheless&#8230; you have nothing to lose and lots to gain.</p></blockquote>
<p><a title="Register for the 2013 Tapping World Summit" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4955963" target="_blank">Find out more and Register for the Tapping World Summit</a></p>
<h2>Important!</h2>
<p>This EFT Tapping World Summit <strong>will not</strong> take you from beginner to coach in just 10 days &#8211; after all would you trust a coach who had 10 partial days of experience?</p>
<p>I wouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<blockquote><p>If you are dealing with complex issues, this event will not &#8220;solve&#8221; them for you. It should be viewed as an educational experience. If you are a beginner, further study is recommended afterwards.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>What this event will do is show you how you can use EFT on yourself for a range of common issues and it will guide you through the process.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1500" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 505px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1500" alt="NLP: Not for Sheep" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/nlp-sheep.jpg" width="495" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><strong>NLP: Not for Sheep</strong></p></div>
<p><strong>NLP can be described as the universal language of the mind, body and spirit.</strong></p>
<p>Many enthusiasts talk of NLP as being the &#8220;Owner&#8217;s Manual for the Brain&#8221;. Within the context of coaching &amp; therapy, NLP provides an elegant set of tools to examine and change the basic structure of how our emotions and thoughts affect the choices we make.</p>
<h2>Doing NLP</h2>
<p>NLP is a living, growing model. It&#8217;s not a theory and you won&#8217;t benefit from simply learning and reciting the principles.</p>
<p>NLP has impact through doing because it is <strong>through applying it</strong> that new thoughts and behaviours come to life.</p>
<p>With NLP you learn to embrace ownership of your life. You improve:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your language patterns (verbal, body, behavioural) both with yourself and others</li>
<li>Communication and persuasion skills</li>
<li>The associations your mind makes, moving from negative vicious cycles to the freedom of choice</li>
<li>The things of value &#8211; throwing away fears and limitations other people have imposed and establishing your own identity</li>
<li>Your thought patterns, developing better relationships, achieving successes, becoming confident and at peace with yourself</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits of NLP</h2>
<ul>
<li>Thinking using NLP principles creates empowering thinking patterns. They may be forced at the beginning as you consciously practice them. They do become second nature.</li>
<li>Problem automatic reactions are controlled at a subconscious level preventing them from being triggered.</li>
<li>NLP works with material in your own mind. Therefore it is an easy fit and works in harmony with your beliefs and values.</li>
<li>NLP impacts at the subconscious level so your growth occurs as part of your normal everyday behaviour</li>
<li>NLP is a life long set of tools that you can use again and again on issues such as bad habits, compulsive behaviours, negative &#8220;mind-chatter&#8221;, improving presentation skills, career goals and procrastination.</li>
</ul>
<h2> How NLP Helps During Psychotherapy &amp; Coaching</h2>
<ul>
<li>NLP focuses on solutions</li>
<li>NLP methods enable you to step away from the emotion and view an event from different perspectives</li>
<li>The solutions come from within you and therefore are congruent with your personal values. This means they fit with you.</li>
<li>NLP places you in a position of empowerment. Your self-talk changes.</li>
<li>You realise that there is a distinct method and reason for everything that you do. You learn how to &#8220;change the recipe&#8221; so you get different outcomes when you want them.</li>
</ul>
<p>NLP is not simply a technique. <strong>NLP is a way of life.</strong></p>
<p>There are elements of it that you are most certainly using in your life at the moment without knowing that you are.</p>
<p>You definitely used it when you were a baby learning to walk. That&#8217;s how natural NLP is and once you harness it, events, circumstances and emotions become much easier to control and shape.</p>
<h1>Exploring Timelines</h1>
<p>Exloring Timelines is adapted from the Timeline Therapy™ work of Tad James and also integrates techniques from NLP.</p>
<p>Everybody has their own sense of time. It&#8217;s one of the fundamental building blocks for day-to-day living and amongst other things, it influences thought processes with regards to organisation and prioritising.</p>
<p>For example, it is impossible to make a &#8220;to-do&#8221; list at work and put the items in order of importance without having a sense of time as it is time that gives the urgency. It is very possible however, to lose sense of time and skip items from your list and give yourself a sense of panic later on in the day. A sense of panic that, over time, can turn into a slippery slope of guilt, failure and poor self-esteem.</p>
<p>In coaching and therapy, timelines are used in a number of ways to determine how your representation of time impacts the problems you are having. One way includes exploring the timeline to determine when problems first started and how your sense of &#8220;past&#8221;, &#8220;present&#8221; and &#8220;future&#8221; is keeping that problem going.</p>
<p>Subtle shifts in your representation of time enable you to see and do things differently.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-1479" alt="Think about all the things you've grown out of" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/last-time-thinking-man.jpg" width="350" height="338" /></p>
<p>Think for a moment about all the things you did that you&#8217;ve grown out of.</p>
<p>Now think about the last time you did them. Did you know that would be the last time?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m guessing these activities weren&#8217;t consciously replaced. They simply ceased to be because your life changed in some way.</p>
<p><a title="A Different Kind of Work - Making Work Fit Life" href="http://www.adifferentkindofwork.com/2013/01/07/change-in-2013-forget-resolutions-make-one-commitment-instead/" target="_blank">Christine Livingston</a> says &#8220;<em>Once you’ve got yourself into a life groove, that’s where you’re likely to stay unless something major knocks you off-track.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Three years ago I moved to Dubai. Last month I started a recreational blog about Dubai. It&#8217;s <a title="Tales of an Expat Wife with her dog in Dubai" href="http://happywitchie.com/" target="_blank">Happywitchie.com</a>.</p>
<p>I started it as a fun way to unwind and take stock of all the new experiences and characters in Dubai, the likes of which I never experienced in the UK. You must read about <a title="How to get a job in Dubai (and how not to)" href="http://happywitchie.com/dubai/living-in-dubai/how-to-get-a-job-in-dubai-and-how-not-to/" target="_blank">Sunil</a> and about the <a title="The maintenance man and his drill" href="http://happywitchie.com/dubai/living-in-dubai/the-maintenance-man-and-his-drill/" target="_blank">Maintenance Man</a> and tell me what you think!</p>
<p>As I wrote I noticed a Last Time has happened for me and as it often is with Last Times, <strong>I never noticed when it came.</strong></p>
<p>Writing a personal blog has never been something I aspired to do; in fact it would have been unthinkable for me once. <em>&#8220;Share my experiences with strangers? I don&#8217;t think so!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The life I am living in Dubai knocked me off track and the old groove isn&#8217;t that appealing anymore.</p>
<p>I think sometimes it&#8217;s instinctual to resist the new groove &#8211; <strong>especially when you <em>know </em>you&#8217;ve got to step in one</strong>.</p>
<p>Forced, deliberate changes involve subconscious analysis of your motivations and values. You over-think and rather than enjoy where you are now in spite of the challenges that come with it, you hesitate and hold back. You tell yourself you&#8217;re not ready for the last cigarette, the last burger, the last day of living someone else&#8217;s vision.</p>
<p>Resistance and fear can indicate that a Last Time has already occurred. There&#8217;s no going back, you can try but it will never be as comfortable as it was before.</p>
<blockquote><p>A Last Time is twins with A First Time and they go everywhere together. If you&#8217;re at the edge of a Last Time, you&#8217;re at the cusp of a First Time. <strong>Go with it.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If you&#8217;re not ready to jump into the new groove feet first, allow yourself to nudge forward a step at a time. It&#8217;s where you are meant to go.</p>
<p>Last times have connotations of sadness, yet many are liberating. Something steps aside gracefully so that you can unmask and explore another piece of yourself.</p>
<p><strong>Are you the same person that you were two years ago? If yes, why yes?</strong></p>

<p>This huge online event happens once a year and is the biggest yearly event in the EFT community. It&#8217;s also probably one of the biggest and most popular events that happens in the entire personal development world.</p>
<p>From 81,000 people attending in 2009, the event is now attracting nearly half a million people.</p>
<p>I hope you will be able to attend it this year &#8211; it takes place online and is <strong>FREE!<br />
</strong></p>
<h2>What is EFT?</h2>
<p>If you are wondering &#8220;<em><strong>What is EFT?</strong></em>&#8221; &#8211; EFT is one of those personal development techniques that everyone should learn. It&#8217;s to do with your personal energy and helps you to strengthen and maintain your personal equilibrium during periods of stress &#8211; even critical stress.</p>
<p>It is amazing the ways that stress impacts your thoughts and behaviours &#8211; I feel that knowing EFT is as important as knowing how to brush your teeth.</p>
<p>Once you have the knowledge (which can be acquired free of charge during this Tapping World Summit), you have a really effective way of realigning yourself when things go wrong or get too much.</p>
<h2>Can emotions be trapped in your cells?</h2>
<p>Is it possible that when you have emotional trauma, ongoing stress, or just regular negative emotions, it can all be trapped in your cells?</p>
<p>And that it can actually severely limit your health and cause chronic illnesses?</p>
<p>I personally believe emotions have a big impact on your health and wellbeing and dealing with trapped emotions is an important part of the<a title="Coaching: Empower Your Life" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/training-services/self-empowerment-training/"> work I do with my clients</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4942685"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1423" alt="Mark Hyman Video EFT Tapping Summit 2013" src="http://paradoxofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/mark-hyman-video.jpg" width="430" height="242" /></a></p>
<p>In <a title="Can emotions be trapped in your cells?" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4942685" target="_blank">this video</a>, Dr Mark Hyman, a 5 times New York Times Best-Selling Author, discusses our mind-body connection and the achievement of optimal health.</p>
<p>Watch the <a title="Can emotions be trapped in your cells?" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4942685" target="_blank">video</a>.  It could provide a radical shift in your understanding of how to create real long-term health. Or it may simply inspire a new perspective on something going on with you at the moment.</p>
<h2>What is the Tapping World Summit?</h2>
<p>The Tapping World Summit is an online event that you can attend for Free (while it is live).</p>
<ul>
<li>Each day, <strong>twice a day for ten days</strong>, you are taught how to use EFT tapping for specific issues.</li>
<li>You get to &#8220;tap-along&#8221; with the experts for the specific topics.</li>
<li>You are walked through each section, step-by-step from the beginner fundamentals through to the more advanced techniques.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can listen to each presentation while it is live each day. If you want to own the audios, manual, transcripts and bonuses these are available for purchase.</p>
<blockquote><p>NOTE: that this is NOT a tele-seminar series with products being pitched. Each presentation is planned out and prepared for ahead of time to deliver the highest level of content and value possible. Each audio is 100% content.</p></blockquote>
<p>EFT is an important tool that <a title="Coaching: Empower Your Life" href="http://paradoxofreality.com/training-services/self-empowerment-training/">I use with my clients</a>. This is a fabulous opportunity for you to learn it too. <strong>For FREE</strong>.</p>
<p>Watch the <a title="Can emotions be trapped in your cells?" href="http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=4942685" target="_blank">Mark Hyman video</a> and stay tuned &#8211; I&#8217;ll be posting a little more frequently than normal during the run up to the EFT Tapping World Summit.</p>
