EFT Newsletter: I have my own EFT and Clearing Newsletter which normally comes out bi-monthly. This EFT newsletter is called Tap4Peace which is derived from the concept of tapping for inner peace. If you'd like to receive it, send me an email and I'll add you to my mailing list. Some recent issues: November 2008, February 2009 and April 2009 (all PDFs).

EFT Qualifications: Gary Craig is the founder and developer of the EFT techniques. In January 2007, Gary's "EFT Insights" Newsletter announced that I was officially certified as an EFT Master, the highest EFT credential. There are only about 30 certified EFT Masters worldwide with only three in Australia and one in New Zealand. The EFT masters now have their own Web Site and you are welcome to subscribe to our information-rich EFT Masters Newsletter which is ideal for practitioners. The EFT masters are committed to taking a leading role in quality EFT training worldwide, especially for those who use or will use EFT professionally. More recently, I was also listed on Gary Craig's EFT web site as having been awarded EFT Honors certification, which is the highest certification in his new 2008 certification system (and which replaces all earlier certification systems). I am also a full member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT).

My Background and Experience: I was trained and worked as a pastoral counsellor in the 1970's. I was a registered marriage celebrant and I trained and supervised other counsellors. I moved on from that period of my life and have been involved in emotional clearing and coaching during most of the time since then (in both a full time and part time capacity). I came across EFT in November 2000 and have now been using EFT in my full time practice for over eight years. Click here for more details.

What is EFT? The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are highly effective emotional clearing techniques. EFT is often called the "tapping technique" or "emotional acupuncture" (but without needles) and is used world-wide by many tens of thousands of people (both professional and lay people) to effectively heal emotional issues and to enhance personal growth. Once learnt, EFT can be easily self-applied. Click here for a very brief introduction to EFT (in PDF format) or here for a more detailed introduction to EFT. Private EFT sessions (in person or by phone) are available as well as EFT Workshops (levels 1 to 4). You can download Gary Craig's EFT manual for FREE and also obtain Gary Craig's inexpensive sets of EFT DVDs.

Private EFT Sessions: Private (one-on-one) sessions are available for individuals to work on their own personal issues with the assistance of an experienced practitioner. You are facilitated in doing your own inner work to achieve emotional clearing and personal growth. Private sessions may also focus on enhancing performance and expanding one's comfort zones. For individuals, the (non-business) rate is $145 AUS per session (1 & 1/2 hours). Also, see private relationship coaching sessions below for couples and individuals.

EFT Workshops: The four main EFT workshops are the Introductory EFT workshop (level 1, one full day), the Foundational EFT workshop (level 2, two full days), the Advanced EFT workshop (level 3, three days), and the NEW Professional EFT workshop (level 4, two days). The levels 1 and 2 workshops are suitable for everyone and anyone who wants to learn EFT (even if they will only be self-applying it). The levels 3 and 4 workshops are suitable for those who want to develop their EFT skills to a much higher level, which includes those who are really serious about their personal growth or simply want to be able to help others non-professionally at a deeper level. The levels 3 and 4 workshops are critical courses for those who will be using EFT semi-professionally or professionally. These four EFT workshops focus on and teach the most essential EFT skills, strategies and techniques that all EFT practitioners need to know. There are also some special purpose EFT workshops from time to time that address specific issues (such as performance, abundance, weight loss or relationships) or that teach specific EFT skills (such as how to use EFT with allergies). The new Professional EFT workshop will be held for the first time in August 2009.

Level 1 EFT Workshop: Learn EFT from a certified EFT Master. The next (one-day) introductory Level 1 EFT workshop will be held on Sunday, the 26th of July 2009 (10 AM to 5 PM). The cost is $195 which includes lunch. The Level 1 EFT workshop provides a comprehensive hands-on introduction to this amazing technique and you learn and practice using the full EFT tapping technique. Click here for more information about this introductory workshop. You can email Peter or call him on (08) 9381 4112 to book a place or two (or more). There are discounts for groups, pensioners, etc.

EFT and TFT: I am often asked what the difference is between EFT and, its predecessor, Thought Field Therapy (TFT). EFT evolved out of TFT in the early nineties and has continued to develop and evolve since that time to become the powerful and flexible technique that it is today. EFT is a more elegant and streamlined technique with more flexibility and uses. Click here for a detailed comparison of EFT and TFT. In the world of Thought Field Therapy, there was much controversy in 2004 (and since then) over the findings of a study which throws into question the validity of the need for or use of unique tapping sequences (called "algorithms") for different emotions or emotional issues (and which adds complexity to the process).

Level 2 EFT Workshop: The Level 2 EFT Workshop is an empowering emotional clearing workshop that teaches a complete set of the most essential EFT techniques and strategies that are needed to consistently get excellent results from this extraordinary technique (with oneself or others). A two-day Level 2 EFT workshop will be held on Saturday and Sunday, the 5th & 6th of September. The cost is $395 (or just $135 if re-doing it to consolidate, refresh or update your skills) and a Level 2 certificate will be awarded on completion. Click here for more details about the Level 2 workshop.

Developing Your EFT Skills Further: Having completed both the Level 1 and 2 EFT Workshops is not the end of the road as far as developing your EFT skills is concerned. "EFT" stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques (plural). There are many options and possibilities for further advancing your confidence and skills in using these amazingly useful tools. There is much more to learn about HOW to use EFT and WHAT it can be used for and the potential benefits are vast and open-ended. Click here to explore some of the options, which include EFT Practice Sessions.

Level 3 EFT Workshop: The advanced Level 3 EFT Workshop is essentially a practitioner level course but is suitable for anyone who is serious about further developing his/her EFT skills to help themselves or others to heal their emotional issues and to grow and expand. The cost is $695 - or just $225 if re-doing it again or if you did the earlier Advanced Emotional Clearing workshop (2003-2005). The three-day advanced Level 3 EFT workshop (held recently in June 2009) will be held again later this year (exact dates to be confirmed). This workshop reviews the most essential EFT skills, teaches advanced EFT skills and techniques to a new level of precision, effectiveness, depth and thoroughness, and also considerably expands your toolkit.

NEW - Level 4 EFT Workshop: This new two-day Level 4 EFT workshop will address how to untangle and resolve resistant hard-to-budge issues (for self-application or for use with others). It will include: (i) how to separate out and resolve the multiple subconscious resistances in areas or situations where we feel stuck; (ii) how to use EFT to "wake up" from a trance state (which always accompanies a resistant problem), and (iii) the use of EFT to help resolve (heal) disowned or rejected parts of ourselves that have been causing problems such as self-sabotaging thinking and behaviour. A disowned part is an aspect or fragment of ourselves that we don't want to be and are resisting being - and "what you resist, persists". Disowned parts contribute (widely or in certain contexts only) to our concept of self, our self-image, which blocks self-love and self-acceptance (an issue that underlies most other issues). This workshop includes exploring the use of EFT to help bring "the dark side" (disowned and buried parts of ourselves) into "the light" (of consciousness) and to clear the negative energy (unconscious resistance) connected with them. The cost will be $465. It will be held on Saturday and Sunday, the 22nd and 23rd of August.

Workshop with Gary Craig: In November 2005, I attended a four-day EFT Masters workshop in San Francisco with Gary Craig (the developer of the EFT techniques). This was only the third time that this particular course had been held. There were 11 candidates on the course plus about 30 observers. Each of the candidates were required to do at least one live session (in front of all those attending) which was filmed and then critiqued afterwards by Gary. It was an honour to meet Gary Craig and share this experience with some of the most experienced EFT practitioners in the world. Five of them were from the US, two from Canada, one from the UK, and there were three Australians. As mentioned above, I was later awarded an EFT Master's certificate signed by Gary Craig.

Misleading Claims: In August 2005, I submitted the following advertisement to a local new age magazine but it was refused by the editor. The submitted text was: [start] "MISLEADING CLAIMS: There have been some misleading or exaggerated claims made regarding energy techniques such as Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Such claims tend to bring these ground-breaking techniques into disrepute by misrepresenting what can routinely be achieved by their use and how long it takes. I hereby distance myself from such claims and wish to alert the public to this fact. Issues such as anxiety and depression are often complex (and may have many layers or contributing factors) and it is not routine for them to be permanently resolved “in minutes” as they may require focused hard work." [end] Such false or misleading claims are disgraceful as they cause great damage to the credibility and acceptance of these techniques. Please contact or email me if you have any comments or experiences on this topic or if you paid for services based on such claims.

Counselling for Non-Counsellors Course (Parts One and Two): The Counselling for Non-Counsellors Course (Parts One and Two) are presented by Dr Donna Brandes and myself. These courses are for people who are not counsellors but who would like to develop some useful counselling skills plus some effective nurturing skills and techniques to be able to help others (such as friends, partners, children, clients, patients, etc.) when they are emotional, stressed or suffering or need some nurturing. The (1 & 1/2 day) Counselling for Non-Counsellors Course (Part One) will be held on Saturday afternoon (1:30 PM to 5:30 PM) and Sunday (10 AM to 5 PM), the 19th and 20th of SEPTEMBER 2009. The cost will be $295 per person. This will be followed by the (1 & 1/2 day) Counselling for Non-Counsellors Course (Part Two).

Relationship Coaching: Private relationship coaching (with individuals or couples and for groups or teams) typically involves developing specific relationships skills and approaches to enhance relationships and/or effectively resolve real-life situations or issues if or when they occur. Coaching often involves taking some actions and/or making some decisions or changes that will make a real difference. This sometimes requires learning, practicing and applying some new relationship skills to heal or enhance a relationship situation. Where possible, it is often advisable to also do the Essential Relationship Skills Workshop. For couples or individuals, the (non-business) rate is $165 AUS per private coaching session (up to two hours).

The Essential Relationship Skills Workshop (Parts One and Two): The (1 & 1/2 day) Essential Relationship Skills Workshop - Part One teaches the absolutely essential relationship skills that are needed to maintain, enhance and HEAL relationships (any type of relationship). Suitable for individuals or couples, groups or teams. You can contact Peter (see below) to reserve a place on the Part-One workshop, which is likely to be held again in July or August 2009 and will cost $295 per person (with discounts for couples, groups and pensioners). The Essential Relationship Skills Workshop (Part Two) will consolidate, enhance and expand on the essential skills learnt on Part One. Note: These two 1 & 1/2 day workshops fully replace and significantly expand on the previous two-day "Vital Relationship Skills workshop".

What is Integrative Clearing? The technology of clearing consists of dozens of techniques, processes and methods [such as the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), the Unblocking procedure, and many others] that can be used to assist individuals to effectively "clear their stuff" such as clear their accumulated emotional pain, negative feelings and emotions, limiting or self-sabotaging beliefs and unresolved upsets and traumas. In this context, the word clearing means eliminating, becoming free of, letting go of, resolving, dissolving, coming to terms with, overcoming or transcending something. The word integrative adds the concept of becoming more whole or integrated as a result of clearing. Clearing is quite different to approaches that only seek to change the way something is being viewed or experienced or to find a way to cope with something or to learn how to manage something (such as anger management) or to reprogram a response or behaviour. In other words, clearing is not a reprogramming activity, but these changes often spontaneously occur as a result of clearing. The clearing mantra is "Why try to solve your problems, when you can dissolve them!"

Purpose of integrative clearing: The purpose of clearing technology can be summed up as energy clearing, emotional clearing, mind clearing and spiritual clearing. This technology has been developed by many individuals around the world to help individuals to eliminate troublesome reactions to things in life, to dissolve accumulated negative emotions and feelings, to significantly reduce stress and find inner peace, to remove limiting or self-defeating beliefs, and to eliminate the lasting effects of painful memories. Suffering and internal conflict are not our natural state. The overall process of clearing is to enable individuals to re-connect with their true self, re-integrate parts of themselves that have been disowned, regain their innate inner strength, and recover their natural abilities and awareness. The aim is to progressively wake up and become more and more conscious, become more able to accept and live life as it is, and to become much more functional in life and relationships. These are not quick fixes. It's a journey of healing, discovery and personal growth.

Nutritional Healing: For a comprehensive and useful resource for dealing with both physical and emotional or mental conditions using a nutritional and environmental approach (instead of drugs), pay a visit to Nutritional Healing by clinical nutritionist Blake Graham (Perth, Western Australia). Blake does both personal and phone consultations. Some emotional or mental problems (anxiety, depression, anger, etc.) may be contributed to or predisposed by nutritional/biochemical deficiencies or imbalances, heavy metals (or other toxins), hormone imbalances, sleep disorders, etc. Nutritional healing complements the work done in clearing technology and in some instances may be essential. There is a gradual movement towards helping to resolve both physical and mental problems with nutritional approaches rather than drugs.

Glyconutrients: Talking about important nutrients, I have been looking into glyconutrients over the last few years. The scientific research on this topic over the last 15 years is extensive and exciting. It has been found that certain carbohydrates perform a wide range of important jobs in our bodies and are not just a source of energy (as originally thought). Certain carbohydrates (just eight of over two hundred naturally occurring simple carbohydrates) play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and are central to immune system activities. Certain "sugars" (known as "saccharides") are big players in preventing infections and diseases and others are involved in regulating conditions such as blood clotting and appetite regulation. And much more. Studies also indicate that certain glyconutrients help to increase mental clarity, improve memory, reduce anxiety and insomnia, reduce ADHD symptoms, and may even help with depression. Click here for an introduction to glyconutrients, the "sugars that heal". There was a full two page article on glyconutrients in Perth's Sunday Times in the "Body and Soul" section on the 29th of October 2006.

My office is in Subiaco (a suburb of Perth and not far from Perth city) in Western Australia. The office address is:

    Subiaco Village, Suite 5 (Subiaco Business Centre), 531 Hay Street, Subiaco, 6008, WA.

Subiaco Village is a group of shops and offices around a car park. The entrance to Suite 5 in the Subiaco Village is next door to the Medicare office. Note: Hay Street is a one-way street heading West and Roberts Rd is a one-way street heading towards Perth and the Freeway. Rokeby Rd and Railway Rd are both two-way. See the map ==>

CAR: Hay Street is a very long street that runs through Perth and into West Perth, and then continues straight into Subiaco. Just to confuse everyone, the street numbers start again from Number 1 when Hay St enters Subiaco. To get to 531 Hay Street, Subiaco, cross over Rokeby Rd and you'll find 531 Hay street on your left, just after Hungrey Jacks and before Railway Rd. Turn left into the Subiaco Village car park (and bring $2 of coins for parking).

NAVIGATOR: If you are using a Navigator GPS device to find your way to 531 Hay Street, Subiaco, be aware that Hay Street, Perth and Hay Street, Subiaco have overlapping and repeated numbers. Hay Street runs through Perth and into West Perth, and then continues straight into Subiaco. However, when Hay Street enters Subiaco, heading West towards the coast, the numbers start again from number 1.  To get to 531 Hay Street, Subiaco, cross over Rokeby Rd and you'll find 531 Hay Street on your left, just after Hungrey Jacks and before Railway Rd. Turn left into the Subiaco Village car park (and bring $2 of coins for parking).

TRAIN: If coming by train, the office is easy walking distance from the Subiaco train station (which is at the corner of Roberts Rd and Rokeby Rd, Subiaco). The Subiaco train station is on the Perth to Fremantle railway line. Walk down Rokeby Rd (south of the station) and turn right (where the Regal Theatre is) into Hay Street heading West. You'll find Subiaco Village, 531 Hay Street, about 250 metres down Hay St on the left-hand side (the next building after Hungrey Jacks with a big park). The entrance to Suite 5 in the Subiaco Village is next door to the Medicare office.

Thank you for your interest. The clearing approaches that exist these days have great depth and much to offer and I hope you look into them further and experience them for yourself.

Why try to solve your problems, when you can dissolve them! The ultimate solution to a problem is the dissolution of the problem itself. Then, there is no problem to seek a solution to.
