Energy Tool-Meridian Tapping, EFT

Were you wondering about the tools that I talked about that can help us move our roadblocks?  Meridian tapping is one of them.  I wanted to demonstrate how I use this tools in my life! Cheers!

So here is a loose format of how I use tapping.  It really can be done in many different ways.  You don't have to write your feelings down, but I've found that it helps when you are just getting started.

1) Find a target that you would like to tap about.
2)Then write your feels about your target phrase or topic.  Just right phrases that capture how you are feeling about the subject. I like to include I am feeling in my body concerning the topic.
3)Then write how you would LIKE to feel about your target.  Just imagine how it would be if you were doing it exactly like you wish you could.

Okay now comes the tapping.
4) See what your "number" is 1-10, 10 being very intense and 1 is no problem. WRITE IT DOWN!
As you are doing these rounds of tapping really try to embody the feelings that you write down on your paper.

Start tapping on your karate chop point.
Do a setup statement and validation 3 times.

Even though I _______________ I deeply love and accept myself
Even though I _______________ I love myself anyway
Even though I feel____________ I am of infinite worth.  (Use your creativity here, there are many options)

Then carry on to the eyebrow point and continue to do rounds.  I do about 2.  I say a phrase or sentence that I wrote down, one per pressure point.  When I do another "round" you start at the eyebrow point, you don't need to do the setups at the karate chop point.


Do about 2 rounds.  Take a deep breath.

Tune in and see what your number is now.


Now, start at the eyebrow point and read from your "positive" paper, and how you WANT to be regarding your target topic.  One phrase or sentence per point, or a couple of phrases, whatever works.

Do about 2 rounds.  Take a deep breath.

Tune in and see what your number is now.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any clarifying.


LOOSE FORMAT:
Find Target
Tune in and write down your number 1-10

Karatechop (3) times
Eyebrow
Side of the Eye
Under the Eye
Under nose and above upper lip
Chin point, in the crease below the lower lip and above the bottom of the chin.
Collarbone point, below the knot and a little to the outside
Side point, a hand width below the armpit
Top of the head, a loose circle

Do another round starting with the side of the eye.  Repeat as many rounds as you would like.

After 2 rounds, or whatever you decide, take a deep breath and let the rest of the energy out.
Take a look at your number and see what it is now.

Now do a couple of rounds from your "positive" paper, and how you WANT to be regarding your target topic.


After 2 rounds, or whatever you decide, take a deep breath and let the rest of the energy out.
Take a look at your number and see what it is now, 1-10.   Be curious if there are any other layers that came up that you need to tap about.

Here is one of my favorite Tapping gurus, Nick Ortner's Blog.  He has a great tapping script here to try.


HAPPY TAPPING TO YOU!!!
Enjoy your day, moment by moment!!!

Intro to Coaching

Whew! I finally feel that in a video I captured what I do in my coaching practice. I graduated last weekend from my coaching program and am SOO excited to bring change into the world. Enjoy!

Rock your choices at Sam's Club and Costco!

I FINALLY DID A VIDEO!!!  ha ha.  Gotta love an amateur! ;)  Here are some things that I buy at Sam's Club and Costco.  Let me know what you buy there. ENJOY!!

Get Your Harvest on Part 2 of 3.

FERMENTED FOODS!!!!! 

 Pickled Beets- raw, live probiotics!!

I cannot think of a better way to harvest garden produce.  I have felt MANY FABULOUS, and FANASTIC benefits from eating fermented, cultured foods.  My digestion is much, much better, I am heartier and get sick less, and best of all I have more energy.  I made pickled beets yesterday and they will be sitting on my counter for about a week, happily culturing. :)  

I was going to post the recipe on this one, but them I realized that for copy right's sake I should not.  I got this recipe and SOOO many more from an informative, recipe book, Robyn Openshaw's   "12 Steps to Whole Foods".  It is an easy and fabulous way to either introduce yourself into more whole foods, or to compliment an already whole food diet.  She eats 60-80% raw and is a huge advocate of green smoothies.  It changes lives!~ ~

12 Steps to Whole Foods

I believe that things made with love have higher nutrition! :)

Get Your Harvest On! Part 1 of 3.

Ahhhhh... harvest time.  Though harvest season may not be in full swing, there are a lot of current wonderful opportunities to stock up and store for later.  I am excited to put together a 3 part series of some ways that I am getting my harvest on!

What is a HUMONGOUS category of food that most are hugely deficient???????  Gallant, Glorious, GREENS!  Yes, I had to use an online adjective finder for the gallant. :)  It is unreal to see the nutritional profile of greens, put up against basically any other food.  A green smoothie is the most brilliant way to get those greens into our diet, in the delicious way. 

We were blessed to be able to visit my in-laws this past weekend.  They have a gorgeous garden and greenhouse and are very generous with their produce.  We are going to be able to have green smoothies for many moons. It took a little work, but totally worth it.  Hooray for chard!!

Don't forget all of the other greens out there that can be harvested, cleaned and frozen for a later green smoothie day.  How many of you have dandelions in your yard that have NOT been sprayed?  If so, you have a free source of a green smoothie right there.  I BUY dandelion greens from a store, I am now looking for other free sources of obtaining them. 

We have LOVED growing kale in our garden this year.  Snip, snip, and we have beautiful and nutritious kale for our dinners and smoothies.

Don't forget to buy your huge bags of spinach, available at Costco (bigger bag than Sam's Club, but SOMETIMES Sam's club has organic baby spinach) or Sam's Club, and freeze it!!

 A little bit of help for mom, maybe a little too much? :)

KEFIR INSTRUCTIONS

YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!  You have taken a wonderful step forward to better and more vibrant health.  Below are some helpful websites that have information about culturing milk with kefir grains.  You have 1 T of kefir grains. I would start with culturing about a cup of milk per day and then increase as the kefir grains grow.  Have the best day ever!

Much love!

Dinner Deliciousness

Elysha's Veggie-Rice Pot Pie

Makes 6 cups

INGREDIENTS:

Rice:

1 1/2 to 2 cups rice (Less would make it a little more creamy)

4 cups water- to cook the rice in

Sauce A:

2 1/2 cups water

4 rounded tsp of quality- good ingredient bouillon powder or cubes

2 tsp parsley

Sauce B:

1/4 cup liquid coconut oil

1/2 cup whole wheat flour, freshly ground 

1 tsp onion flakes

1 tsp, good quality non-refined, sea salt

Veggies:

4 cups of cooked veggies of choice

INSTRUCTIONS:

Get water boiling for rice.  Once water is boiling, add rice and turn down to a simmer.  Cook for approx. 45 mins.  

While rice is cooking get 2 1/s cups water for "Sauce A" boiling in a separate pan.  When boiling, add boullion powder or cubes, stir until dissolves.  

In yet another pan :), steam any veggies that are to be put in.  Hint:  if you don't have a steamer, or don't want to dirty another pan, just thaw some peas in a strainer with hot water and stir them in at the very last.  Done! :)

In another pan, pour the liquid coconut oil in the pan.  Have it on Medium heat.  Pour in the onion flakes and stir them until a VERY light brown.  Add the whole-wheat flour and turn until it is a thick paste.  Then pour in the "Sauce A" (Boullion mixture) and mix with the thick paste.  Keep stirring and allow it to thicken.  Add the salt and pepper at this point. 

When the Sauce, uh... I guess we'll call it "Sauce C" :), is thick, now is the time to mix everything together.  Mix the rice, veggies, and sauce.  Stir until all of the rice is coated.  Yay!!! You did it!  Your family will love this one.

ENJOY!!  

 You MUST watch out for nasty ingredients in boullion.  Try to avoid as many ingredients as you can that do not grow out of the ground.  Like: Monosodium Glutamate, Autolyzed yeast, etc.  They do not do a body good. :)

 This is the liquid coconut oil and flour mixture.  I added more flour in the end, SO your will look thicker than this, actually more like a paste. 

 Pour "Sauce A" (Boullion Mixture) in with the flour-coconut oil paste.  Stir until thickens.

 Mix all together! Rice, sauce and veggies. 

 There she is!  The most delicious and healthy "Pot Pie" recipe that you have ever seen. :):)
