These two days were simply excellent! Despite being stationed at the booth for 10 hours, from 10 am to 8 pm, i’m feeling so empowered and excited about future possibilities that i couldn’t go to bed and had to come out to blog about some of these thoughts so i can go to bed with a clearer head (hopefully the blogging wldn’t get me even more excited than before).
Something pretty intense happened between me and the in laws just 2 days before the event, and on that night, i was doing SERIOUS tapping, practically hammering myself as i was lying on the bed because i was furious. I think aside from the situation itself, i was so angry and sad about always being misunderstood, and this touched upon a deeper issue for me, so i found myself crying and crying. It was yet another kind of crying. Not the kind where tears just quietly run down, or the howling kind that is almost animalistic. This time, i felt my heart being totally sqrunched up, that i couldn’t breathe or make any sounds. And i just tapped throughout it all.
Then i recalled a picture i drew during one of HS’s sessions where we were supposed to meet our guides. It was a picture of me being engulfed in the wings of this angel who towered over me, so much so that i looked like a little girl. And i knew, that i was being told that i’m being protected and loved, and i wasn’t alone, and i have never been. Well, that actually made me cry a while more, cos i wished i knew this a lot earlier, as i have been through much loneliness and pain in my younger days. But after that, i was pretty much ok.
On hindsight, i might even thank my in laws for creating that situation. Assuming that everything happens for a reason, i think that i needed this trigger to do deep emotional cleansing, so i would be ready for the holistic fair. Well, Friday i was kinda stoned and not in a very cheerful mood, but by Saturday, the day of the fair itself, i was back in bright spirits.
And i have so many things to be grateful for because i received so much help throughout these 2 days - it seemed as though people and situations popped up just at the right time to provide me with the assistance i needed. For e.g.
-
on both days, i caught the bus just on time
-
my Sat first shift colleague’s wife came along to help, and she was a terrific help in setting up the booth - the feminine touch is always diffferent.
We also had good chats and i think she’s a lovely person. Another friend made. However, we didn’t get much business as both of them prob didn’t know how to do the selling, and i kinda lost touch too, but i picked an affirmation that morning and this is what i got “The help needed is given; we are at peace”.
-
My Sat 2nd shift colleague came early, and she asked me how come i didn’t promote EFT. I told her i was nervous, and she decided to promote it for me. Being a former sales girl, she really got the business coming, and i ended up doing EFT demos non-stop from 1 pm to 8 pm.
-
Our right neighbour was a really nice lady who did tarot card readings (but was running a feng shui business) and didn’t mind that we were encroaching her space a little. She also placed salt under her table to absorb the negative energy, so we benefitted too.
-
Our left neighbour was my hypnotherapy teacher, which is totally unplanned, though we knew about it before the event, and she was giving us tips on how to attract customers to the booth. I think she also mentioned EFT in her own promotion too, and once i heard her referring to me as “the EFT expert” which is very nice of her.
-
I met the friend from past life regression workshop who was promoting The Journey. Knowing that Brandon Bays herself is coming to Singapore this June, I signed up straight away, and now just waiting for the cash to come. I am still finding it hard to believe that my manifestation was fulfilled. I know i was going to meet her no matter what but i was prepared to travel to as far as London for that purpose. Now i don’t need to cos she’s coming to S’pore. Hurray!
-
Also met the coordinator of the past life regression workshop by Andy Tomlinson that i intend to attend, and managed to clear some questions i had about the course. Also waiting for the cash to come. Thanks universe for sending it to me already (now i just gotta keep my eyes open for it)!
-
Mr Gua Gua came in the evening, and he and my colleague helped with the packing, while i continued with my EFT demos (i think i was one of the few who were still busy at that hour!), and then he accompanied me home, and told me to take my dinner (his unwanted lunch, but still edible nevertheless :P) while he fetch little boy back from my in laws’. It’s definitely nice to have a partner who gives me solid support!
-
Sunday, i was totally broke and thought i would just have bread for lunch. My hypnotherapy teacher who didn’t know, decided to treat me and her other neighbour to lunch, so she gave us a $5 each for our Annalakshmi meal (this fabulous north indian restaurant who always caters at this event, and it’s a pay-as-you-wish concept). In addition, my Sunday 1st shift colleague also treated me to a Yami Yogurt, so it turned out to be an excellent meal! For the first time, i’m beginning to experience for myself what i have heard other spiritual workers mention, that if you are truly aligned with your life purpose, the universe will provide for you.
-
Among the many people i met these 2 days, one did event management and the other was a journalist. Potential contacts which i may need in future.
-
I met SO MANY familiar faces - old friends that i haven’t seen in a long while, and did EFT demos with them too- and made a no. of new like-minded friends as well. It’s great… i’m finally breaking out of my hermit mode.
-
Sat left me quite drained and i got a gd sleep that night so i thought i wld survive Sunday. Despite my efforts to expend less energy, i still felt really tired by Sun afternoon. Just then, a friend came by and we chatted, and he could tell i was tired so he suggested i go out and catch some sun. I did just that - went out for a toilet break, and sat in the sun for a while. That got my energy back, so must really thank him for his gd advice.
-
A chat with my colleague who affirmed me about the way i handled the whole anti-EFT issue so well which i really appreciated.
-
Affirmations from a few other people - including a really nice sms from another colleague who dropped by this afternoon, where he said i exuded an elegant and gentle spirit, and someone who is free from emotional struggle (thanks to EFT!). I feel so supported right now!
-
I wondered how we were going to bring the things back to SY as i needed to go home by a certain time, and my parents, sis and Mr Gua Gua were coming with little boy, so i was hoping to go home with them. Turns out, another colleague was willing to drive over, and again, Mr Gua Gua and my two colleagues did the packing and loading of things while i continued with my EFT demos, and my colleague would just bring it to work tomorrow. And Mr Gua Gua and i walked down to Park Mall where little boy was with my family, and we had such a nice dinner together. I feel so lucky to have a family who supports me this much!
Aside from the above wonderful offers of help and support, i also met so many amazing pple and i was seriously surprised that even with a 15 min demo, i was able to assist many of them in clearing issues that would prob need many sessions of other forms of therapy to settle. The most amazing case so far was this lady who suffered neck and back pain for 8 years. Within 10 min of EFT, it was completely gone. She couldn’t believe it, and she had even signed up at another booth for a $200 therapy session, so after my EFT demo, she was wondering if she should just go over and cancel it. Later, she was back, still totally amazed, and requesting for a demo on her ankle pain which has also been there for years, and she had to wear special shoes to cope with the pain. Again, after minutes of EFT, it was totally gone and she was jumping without the shoes, without feeling any pain.
The wonderful thing is that she teaches children with special needs, and some of these children have trouble communicating. I told her how great EFT would be, cos the kid doesn’t need to express it for it to work. All the kid needs to do is to tune into the problem or bad feeling, and she could tap on them, telling them they are a great kid and she loves them. She was so excited about this and promised to try it out. I have a feeling she’s going to do wonderful work with them using EFT. Sure hope to hear from her again!
I also benefitted from these demos. Because i was doing it non-stop, i had to find a way to simplify the process so that i could conserve my energy, and that was how i realise that even with the simplest process, i could get wonderful results with EFT. Now i know that i no longer need to have info about the problem, except whether it’s got to do with a person or a situation (just so that i could form the set up phrase with the right pronoun), and the emotion that comes up, and the SUDs rating (1 to 10). That was all i needed to help most of the folks with their problems, ranging from relationship problems, to grief (i had a lady who lost both parents at the same time years ago and still felt tremendously sad about it), to anxiety about future problems, to heaviness of the heart. etc. I also learnt that it may not be necessary to choose a specific issue, because some of the issues i worked on were seemingly global, and it still worked!
Here’s an idea of what i did with my clients today:
Me: Think of someone who did something to you that makes you feel a bad feeling just by thinking about it…. got it?
Client: (nod head)
Me: He or she? (client responds) Are you just focusing on one thing? (client responds) What emotion comes up? (client responds) What number upon 10? (client responds)
Me doing with client: Even though he/she did this, i totally accept myself. Even though he/she did this, i totally forgive myself. Even though he/she did this, i might forgive that person one day.
With just this process alone, many clients found relief, just doing 1 to 5 rounds, and it’s good that i kept it simple, cos it would be easier for them to do it on their own without worrying about not knowing what to say. In fact, EFT is so flexible that anyone can be creative with it, so long as you are tapping on the meridian points (need not even be all of them) and tuning into the issue, and it works!

Ok, i had to edit this post and add this in, cos i know someone wld like it. MR GUA GUA, YOU WERE RIGHT! He said it would be a success, and indeed it was.
Haha… so now what i’m really excited about is the possibility of doing EFT workshops. Already, i’m planning in my mind how i would be conducting it, and after the success of these 2 days, i KNOW that the EFT workshops would be a hit, and my EFT journey has only just begun.
Now, gonna pop over to www.emofree.com and check out what Gary says about running EFT workshops. As far as i know, no credentials needed (Gary doesn’t believe in credentials, yay!) but there is a certain syllabus that needs to be covered in the workshop. Gonna get my brain juices working on this now!
A last note to the universe for all the riches that have been bestowed upon me, for leading me to this path of helping others, and for fulfilling all my wishes. Thank you!
