Clearing with EFT          

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 steamlined 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 over the findings of a study which throws into question the validity of the use of unique tapping sequences (called "algorithms") for different emotions or emotional issues.

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). The next Level 2 EFT Workshop will be held on Saturday and Sunday, the 26th and 27th of July 2008 at 10 Daly St, South Fremantle. The cost is $395 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 this amazingly useful tool. 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 regular 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 $595 (or just $195 if re-doing it). The next Level 3 EFT Workshop will be held on Friday to Sunday, the 29th to the 31st of August 2008 (also at 10 Daly St, South Fremantle). Let Peter know of your interest or intent to do this powerhouse workshop. 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.

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.

Relationship Coaching: Relationship coaching (with individuals or couples and for groups or teams) typically involves developing specific relationships skills and approaches to enhance good relations and 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 $145 AUS per coaching session (up to two hours).

The Essential Relationship Skills Workshop (Part One): The (1 & 1/2 day) Essential Relationship Skills Workshop - Part One will be held on Saturday afternoon the 20th of September and Sunday the 21st of September. It 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 email Peter or call him on (08) 9381 4112 to reserve a place on the Part-One workshop, which costs $295 per person (with discounts for couples, groups and pensioners). The Essential Relationship Skills Workshop (Part Two) will consolidate, fine-tune, enhance and add to the essential skills learnt on Part One. Note: These two 1 & 1/2 day workshops fully replace the previous 2-day "Vital Relationship Skills workshop" and are designed to provide more time to explore, discuss, digest and practice the essential relationship skills.

Finding Inner Peace with EFT: A NEW one-day hands-on workshop is provisionally scheduled to be held on Sunday the 3rd of August (to be confirmed). Pre-requisite: It is for those who have already done a Level 2 or 3 EFT workshop or similar (or an equivalent skill set) as it requires at least a level 2 skill set. This specialized workshop will focus on a topic that deserves to be explored and practiced thoroughly. It is called Finding Inner Peace with EFT and involves the use of EFT to help resolve parts of ourselves that we have disowned or rejected and which may be causing problems such as self-sabotaging behaviour. A disowned part is an aspect of ourselves that we not only don't want to be but which we are resisting being. What you resist, persists!!! They are sometimes referred to as "wounded parts" or "false selves" or "sub-personalities" and they contribute (in certain contexts) to our concept of self, our self-image, which may block self-acceptance. This workshop explores 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 (sub-conscious resistance) connected with them. The cost will be $195. Venue to be advised.

Counselling for Non-Counsellors workshop (Part One): The Counselling for Non-Counsellors workshop is presented by Dr Donna Brandes and myself. This course is 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 Counselling for Non-Counsellors Course (Part One) will be held again in October-November (exact dates to be confirmed).

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.

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.
