Working with Veterans and EFT:
I recently had the distinct honor of joining Gary Craig and fellow practitioners Carol Look, Lindsay Kenny, Lori Lorenz and Ingred Dinter for an intense week of work with Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a variety of physical and emotional issues.
Each of the participants touched my heart in a way I find impossible to describe. It was awe inspiring to witness their determination and commitment to work through issues with EFT. For most, EFT was a foreign concept they new little or nothing about. The results were remarkable, and the emails I have since received have touched my heart even more. What a remarkable group of brave, dedicated and courageous individuals.
The event was filmed documentary style by Eric Huure and crew, who were wonderful to work with. I have no doubt that the resulting DVDs will result in more widespread acceptance of EFT in this area, as well as others. I can't imagine anyone disputing the power of EFT if they witness even brief glimpses of the changes that transpired.
It is interesting to me that this event took place in such a timely manner, since for some time I have been working closely with a wonderful group of individuals to create an organization to work with several underserved communities with a special emphasis on Veterans and their families. Keep an eye peeled for an announcement in the not too distant future to learn more, including how you may be able to participate in this important venture.
Sophia Strategies:
_______________
Recently many of you have expressed a sense of restlessness, anxiousness and uneasiness due to winter doldrums and the economy - a general sense of heaviness. Spring fever perhaps? As your built-in cheering squad, I thought I would offer a few tapping suggestions to help take the edge off. If you can personalize the phrases to more specifically address your circumstances, I would encourage you to do so. Always remember that being specific gives EFT more "oomph".
Here's hoping this helps you ease your way into Spring with a spring in your step!
Setup:
Even though I am feeling restless and uncertain, I am so tired of all the negative news! I choose to feel energized and optimistic.
Sequence:
The economy stinks
How in the world can I deal with this?
All this restlessness
This feeling of uncertainty
Can't they offer anything positive?
I can't stand it
They keep stealing my hope
What am I supposed to do?
This restlessness and uncertainty
It is too much to bear!
I can't take it anymore
What if my world falls apart?
All this gloom and doom
I choose to trust and believe in me anyway!
I choose to know I have all the answers
I choose to be optimistic, knowing if I trust the wiser part of me, all the answers will come.
Letting go of the idea that things could fall apart.
Letting go of all this negative energy - and in this moment transforming this energy of fear and uncertainty into an energy of optimism.
I choose to trust the wiser part of me for guidance.
Transforming this energy into calm confidence.
Transforming this energy into calm resolve and peace within.
Setup:
Even though I am feeling terrified about what could come next, I choose to feel calm and confident
Sequence:
Terrified,
I don't have a clue what to expect
Terrified
The future feels too uncertain
What if things get worse?
How in the world will I cope?
How will I get through it?
I don't know what to do
All this fear and concern
I feel it in every cell of my being
All this worry and heaviness
How can I deal with all this?
This fear in my stomach
This worry I can't let go of
I don't know how to deal with it
But maybe just for a moment
I could trust and believe in me
Maybe I could transform this energy of fear and concern into an energy of calm confidence.
Letting go of all this fear and concern, as I take my power back and transform this energy into an energy of calm confidence.
Setup:
Even though I am so over winter I can't stand myself or the weather, I choose joy anyway.
Sequence:
I can't stand feeling this way
I can't stand this weather
Everything seems dark and gray
I'm tired of the cold
I can't stand the way I feel
I have had enough
I am ready for brighter days!
I am ready to let go of all this doom and gloom
Maybe, if only for a moment
I could embrace a positive outlook..
Maybe I could choose joy and peace within.
Hang in there and know that in spite of dark days and gloomy news reports, you can enjoy life and prosperity... More on that below from Jade.
Happy tapping and Happy Spring!
Hugs, gratitude & happiness,
Sophia

Just because you continue to hear "the economy stinks" does not mean your personal world must be any less abundant or filled with promise. Below is some extra language we can all use to disregard those hypnotizing media reports and loud 'gloom and doom' rumblings about the supposed state of our shared reality.
Even though times feel so tough, I deeply love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I'm afraid I can't be prosperous in this terrible economy, it just feels so tough, I choose to trust I'm going to be fine
Even though I feel so stuck in this terrible economy, I choose to be open to trusting that I can have everything I need
Even though times feel so tough, I choose to know I can live in a bubble of prosperity
All this fear
Times feel so tough
Stuck in this terrible economy
It's everywhere
All this fear about the economy
bringing me down
hopelessness
fear
everyone is hopeless
Maybe we don't have to be
These feelings, I acknowledge them and I let them go
All these fearful feelings
All these tough times
Feeling them in my body
I choose to trust in my own abilities
I choose to trust my world can be prosperous
My world is prosperous now
I'm thankful for my prosperous world
I'm open to the possibility of feeling just a little hope
A little richness
A little wealth
I'm grateful I have everything I need right now
I trust I'll have everything I need tomorrow
Even though it's not 'yesterday'
I choose to be thankful for what I have
I choose to trust deeply in my abilities to create my world
Peace
