Monks Without Borders might be something to keep an eye on. Great idea.

Dream Manager Program

In his 2007 book, The Dream Manager, Matthew Kelly describes a brilliant, radical, and simple idea: Bringing life coaching into corporate settings--to benefit everybody (from CEO to janitor) ....so they can achieve very personal goals..... that probably have nothing to do with their jobs or companies. (Gasp!) And because the employees are so grateful! for the support in achieving their own goals, they are HIGHLY MOTIVATED to help their employers achieve the company's potential. Talent stays, goes the extra mile, the workplace environment is transformed, profits soar. And, the best part about it is that IT WORKS. http://www.thedreammanager.com/book#aboutthebook

Please tell war vets I can help them

• EFT dramatically helps those suffering from PTSD. I offer my services free or at a low cost to vets and their families. Like other EFT practitioners across the country, I'm having trouble relaying this message to vets and hope some of you can help me spread the word. I'm happy to answer questions and describe the process. (Also, see earlier posts, which include more information.) If vets are reticent to seek help through this alternative healing route, they only need to do some quick googling. They'll very quickly decide to try EFT.

On 6/19/90, USA Today (Gregg Zoroya) featured a cover article with the following statistics, which reflect the stress on military personnel who have been repeatedly deployed:

• Doubled, from 2003 to 2009 - The rate of Army soldiers enrolling in alcohol treatment programs.
• 12% increase, from 2005 to 2008 - Marines who screened positive for drug or alcohol problems.
• 1,430 - 12 months of drunk driving cases involving Marines (Oct '07-Sept '08).
• 1,060 - 7 months of drunk driving cases involving Marines (Oct '08 - May '09).
• 142 suicides of active duty soldiers - 2008 (12 months) - a record high.
• 82 suicides already this year, compared to 51 during the same period last year.

Please let them know help is available. This can truly save their lives.

Find Your True Self

Should form follow function? Well, duh. That's why I've taken the wise advice of dear David Prudhomme to DUMP THAT HIGH 5 HYPNOSIS NAME and get a name for my practice that resonates with the real me. Well, I just did. Hope you like it.

I am offering EFT to War Veterans

In my practice, Find Your True Self, I provide EFT sessions to veterans and their families for very low fees. I am also interested in providing hypnosis and HypnoCoaching sessions to them. Please get in touch with me for more information.

EFT for War Veterans

1.53 million veterans have already served in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hundreds of thousands are returning from combat zones. An estimated 300,000 or more of them suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD.

Please see the Find Your True Self website for more information: www.FindYourTrueSelf.com

EFT has been shown to effectively neutralize the emotional charge of traumatic situations. While the memory of the events remains, the associated fear and anguish disappear--making it much easier to continue with life. Many veterans are finding that EFT can be more effective than talk therapy in relieving trauma.

This might be because traumatic events are stored in a part of the brain that does not deal with language, but that deals with emotions.

While no one yet knows exactly why EFT works so well, we believe that EFT disrupts how negative emotional issues and past trauma are stored in the body. It allows the client to process and store the information in a new way, making these experiences easier to access in a calm and comfortable way.

Iraq War Vets Project

The Iraq War Vets Project is a program of the Soul Medicine Institute, a nonprofit research institute. In addition to offering six free EFT sessions to veterans and their families, the Project is gathering data on how EFT helps people with PTSD and other emotional traumas.

Veterans and their families are invited to participate in this study.
