The Rest of Your Life is Still Unwritten

We just returned from a 12 day trip to Italy. For almost two weeks, it was nice to cut off cell phones, the Internet, e-mail and television except for a few minutes of CNN news. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and appreciated the diversity of the Italian culture. In particular, it was fun to dine in places where we were the only people inside who weren’t Italian. The menus weren’t in English so we took some good guesses at what to order and were successful. Many restaurants — pizza places, trattorias, osterias and ristorantes — do have their menus in Italian and English. We just figured that the ones that didn’t might be more authentic. I don’t know if you can get a bad meal in Italy. We certainly didn’t have any.

Is That All There Is?

Have you ever heard the song made popular by singer Peggy Lee called, Is That All There Is? The song was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, a prolific songwriting team from the fifties and sixties. In the song, Peggy Lee sings about momentous life experiences. And, at the end of each one, she feels disappointment and sings: “Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that’s all there is my friends, then let’s keep dancing.” In our world today, it seems like people may be accomplishing more, but the accompanying good feelings don’t usually last. Rick Wilkes, one of the co-authors of Freedom at Your Fingertips has written a superb article and offers viable solutions for shifting your energy to feeling good.

What I Learned from a Hummingbird

Over the weekend, after a big storm I decided to work outside in the garden and do some weeding while the ground was wet. It makes pulling weeds easier. When I went into the garage, I heard a noise. It was a Hummingbird. He was stuck in the garage and couldn’t get out. This went on for over an hour. I’d go in the garage and he’d be doing the same thing. What puzzled me was that both garage doors were wide open and he couldn’t get out because of one simple reason. What was it and how can you apply it to doing EFT?

Video Learning BSFF from Dr. Larry Nims

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to view the DVD set for learning BSFF (Be Set Free Fast). BSFF is different that EFT because there is no tapping involved. Instead, you provide instructions to your subconscious mind and use a cue word to communicate, direct and make desired changes that positively shift your energy. (The ZPoint Process also uses a cue word instead of tapping.) I have the BSFF book and learned a lot from it. This video set nicely complements the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning from the set of DVDs that Dr. Nims and his colleague, Don Elium, have so thoughtfully and skillfully produced.
