Since the launch of my eBooks on my site a couple of weeks ago I noticed something very interesting: The ONE book that outsold the other three by a huge margin so far, 90% actually, was Five Minutes To Financial Freedom.
Now, this really did surprise me, because I expected Forgive And Let Your Love Grow to be the one. So, what does this tell us? Is it a cyclical "post Christmas" phenomenon? Or is it a sign of the times in general?
From my studies into all things energetic I believe it is a mixture of both: It is stating the obvious that a lot of us probably felt the need to do the polite thing and follow the herd buying Christmas presents, food and drink and presents ad nauseam.
This self induced trance behaviour, yes you read correctly, this is what I said, inevitably produces a reality check, or should I say shock in the aftermath of the spending carnage when we finally wake up. The party is over, the winter days still short and we have nothing to show for our efforts.
On top of this the reality of larger then expected credit card bills that will have to be paid off at some point in the future, invariably send shock waves through the general populos triggering continuous fight flight responses. That this state of affairs is not designed to make us feel good, confident or optimistic about life hardly needs pointing out.
As panic grips the collective unconsciousness, the winter days suddenly appear unbearably cold and long and depression sets in as the stock market continues it s roller coaster ride, the housing markets are uncertain and the future looks somewhat bleak all round.
When faced with these emotions our desire to repent and lift ourselves out of the self imposed financial danger zone, FAST gathers momentum. After all money is our security net and when that is threatened so is our entire existence. At least so goes the old wisdom or thinking...
FAST, QUICK solutions is what we are after. Just as we could not stop ourselves to partake in the Christmas spending frenzy, even against our better judgement, now we need to have a quick fix solution to eradicate the financial consequences.
The demand for quick fixes is indeed a sign of our times in the face of shifting energetic vibrations, (Shifting Energetic Vibrations? I hear you ask. I will talk about this in another newsletter)
Well, FAST solutions are possible. They can indeed be achieved. What most of us lack is the motivation though to see them through. Even if they only take a minute or so to implement. On my website you will find more information on this subject to help you.
I will share a very simple technique with you here: It always, always begins with the mind and what you think you believe about money.
Changing a belief is easier though then you think. You can literally start before you get up in the morning. Simply intend to change a negative belief you may hold regarding money. Just work on ONE negative belief you have identified and change it into a positive one. If you are familiar with EFT you can use the tapping procedure to further re-enforce your intent and speed up the results. This little routine takes less then a minute.
Do this first thing every day for three weeks and you will be amazed at the results.

Many of you may have heard of the SHIFT, the "ascension process" as some call it, or should I say the cyclical development that is presently challenging the world's economic and political system and our own internal representations through which we try to understand our world.
Shift or evolution is as old a human existence, because in order to evolve we have to shift from one level to the next. If that were not the case we would still be stuck in the throws of creation. Nothing would ever change and life would not be possible.
This easy enough concept is made more complex when we begin to look at cycles within cycles, Our evolution is multifaceted and takes place on many different layers and at different cycles of different duration. Those of you who trade and do Elliott Wave analysis, know what I mean by this. Understanding the cycle we are in and navigating it is our challenge, particularly when we are in a transition from one cycle to the next which creates many emotional and physical challenges.
So how can we help ourselves as we are clearly experiencing turbulent times all round?
For one we are re-learning to manipulate energy by consciously directing matter. This means we are experiencing new insights. We are re-evaluating the larger picture and re-understand the laws by which the universe operates from a new vantage point and incorporate these new insights into a new workable order.
Of course nothing on this planet is ever new. All we need to do is remember. The very first thing to remember is that we are energy, that all is energy. Life force depends on the movement of this energy. Becoming conscious of the energy flowing through you and how you direct this energy through your mind is essential to your development. (Remember EFT is simply a tool to direct energy consciously.)
We affect everything inside us and around us. You probably already know that am observed particle changes its nature according to the mood of the observer. Now we are coming a little closer to understanding the turmoil in our present world. Because in the natural evolution of consciousness everything works until it stops working. And eventually everything stops working and is superceded by something better. It is simply a fundamental law of our existence.
Sun cycles typically run for 11 years. Presently we are roughly about 5 years or so into a particularly severe cycle which according to NASA is causing the worst weather conditions for 50 years. Since all is interconnected and nothing can exist in isolation we are feeling these disturbances in other areas of our lives too. The evidence is all round us. Life seems erratic, swift changes are occurring everywhere.
Life is like a graph of the markets and you only have to take a look at a chart of the DOW Jones Index to see what I am talking about. This is typical for transition periods when opposites of old and new are fighting with each other.
So the shift is clearly here and many of us are re-evaluating our lives and are seeking to find new expressions of existence as whole. Alas the rules by which our existence is governed are the same as they have always been.
We are re-connecting to a wider picture though as we are becoming more consciously aware. Becoming more aware also means that we can see, if indeed we choose to, the extend of our own power. With the help of energy therapy tools like EFT, MICRO EFT and many others we can speed up the awakening process and see how we alone are the architects of our lives. It is us who creates our lives and not outside circumstances.
This realisation has consequences and means we need to change the way we have thought and behaved until now. Change is an unpalatable thought for many of you, I know. I include myself here too. Who likes change after all? But changing our ways is essential if we want to develop and grow and be able to navigate these volatile times successfully.
Seeing how we are co-creators of everything that is can be a shock to the system. Energy therapy really is a most wonderful tool to help you deal with changes.
I encourage you to learn how to manipulate energy consciously. Study and above all practice. Make sure that EFT, REIKI or any other energy therapy you may use is part of your daily life. Because only when you become "it" will you get the lasting results you are after.

eftMindpower Newsletter June 2008
Since the last newsletter, I had a number of technical problems following the collapse of my computer! This resulted in me getting a new one, transferring databases etc. Anyway all is sorted now, hopefully.
My latest book "Heal Your Grief, Accept Your Loss And Love Your Life Again" is now available on the website. It will be published here in the UK and in America as a proper book in August.
You may find this book interesting, because it gives you a different perspective of grief and how to deal with it. I share my experiences how to deal with the changing energies in your surroundings. Energies in our living places change when people die, or a partner leaves due to divorce. The changed energies can have a profound effect on your well being, intensify grief and affect your good fortune. Fortunately we can neutralize these energies. In this book you learn a number of ways to do this. On to today's article.
Love, one of the most misunderstood words in our vocabulary
Many a folklore tale exist about love: It has been romanticized for centuries and put on a pedestal as the holy grail of existence. Naturally we all want a permanent supply of this divine elixir.
It is in our human nature to desire things that feel good. Love certainly fills that criterion.
We believe that love is the stuff that gives us hope, happiness, joy and security. It makes us feel young again and improves our health. These are just some of the many attributes we have given to love.
Love expresses a state, or stage in our existence.
There is a significant difference between the two: A stage is a fleeting moment which can last seconds, hours. days or even months and perhaps even longer, but it is fleeting. A state is a situation we find ourselves immersed in. It has more permanence and can last a lifetime.
How you view and experience love reflects your developmental stage
Life is evolution and the way you view love is directly linked to the level of your development. The higher your developmental level, the easier it becomes to experience love as a state, rather than a state that comes and goes. You have no or very little control over that state in the lower levels of your development.
Many of us, in fact the vast majority of the population are at the developmental level where we experience love as a stage: For example we experience it when we meet someone new. Hopes are high when we are in the love trance. The excitement associated with this state of our emotions which is actually just a stage we go through, is scintillating. We expect to be in this ecstatic state of bliss fore-ever, because it feels so good. This last statement is a contradiction of course.
When we look at love in this way it can never be anything, but a passing stage.
Why am I saying this:
Love viewed through the lens of expectation is an illusion. It depends on its fulfillment purely on outside circumstances. This view is also firmly based on separation.
Let us look at our example of love in relationships again: We all know how a new relationship works: the partners put their best foot forward. Everything about the experience is new and wonderful. There is the delirious promise of even better things to come. As yet there is no past, no negative history. Of course, as we all know this nirvana changes as the relationship matures.
The nature of the love we experience changes too. Our faith in this blissful love state is
often brutally destroyed. Sudden endings of a love relationship, perhaps through death can kill your faith in love for many years, sometimes even forever.
The loss of love through loss of a partner
When we lose a loved one either through death or divorce, we experience this loss as a loss of love and security. Loss of love and loss of security are linked closely in our minds. Again, outside influences tainted our view.It is our conditioning that has made us see love in this way. For centuries we have been trained to accept that the loss of a partner equates to loss of love. There is also the unspoken assumption that there is only one kind of love, or worse still: That we have lost the only love we can have in our lives. Once lost, love is gone forever and cannot be replaced.
These misconceptions make life unnecessarily difficult and are not designed to help us evolve and understand what love really is all about.
We are all the unwitting victims of our conditioning. It is important to realise this. Once you do, you start examining your beliefs and feelings in a new light. We give meaning to love according to our conditioning and we experience it according to our developmental level.
Love is just a higher stage of development
Love is not this romantic state we mistakenly seek on our path to happiness. The notion of romantic love is conceptually wrong. Clinging to it can also severely hamper your progress in life and make you very unhappy. I know you probably don't want to believe me. When I first learned to see love in a different light I had tremendous resistance to the new broader view. I even felt it was somewhat unethical.
So, if love isn't about romance, what is it about?
Love is essentially a level of vibration. As you grow and move to higher levels in your development you begin the realise that love is an essential part within you as well as outside of you. The two are one. You can experience love as a permanent stage when you have moved beyond the duality of judgement. For most of us this is not possible though. Very few people in the world are able to live in this permanent stage of oneness. However ,you still can experience the true nature of love. You know when you experience it: It is a transcendental state that cuts out everything between you and love. It just is.
When you feel connected to everything that is, you experience the true nature of love. You experience unity.
Once you have experienced this state for yourself you begin to see love in a new light. You begin to see your relationships beyond the limited perspectives of old conditioning. You also begin to see that love is everywhere, in everything and above all it is permanent. This new perspective is a great help when coping with loss through death or divorce.
Those of you who meditate regularly are more likely to experience this state of true love. Therefore, if you want to experience the true nature of love, learn to meditate. It is well worth the effort: It makes you feel good and clears the meridians of your entire body. Regular meditation also makes energy techniques more powerful. For those of you who are familiar with EFT you can use EFT and MICRO EFT to get you into a meditative state quite easily.

Why You Are Not Getting What You Want Newsletter November 2008
Have you gone on countless personal development courses, read plenty of books, watched the videos and your life is still not showing the improvements your had hoped for? You are not alone.
After a workshop or after reading a great book you probably feel energised, uplifted and inspired, but in the face of the daily stress these emotional highs tend not to last long. Back to your daily routine, the boss is still an inconsiderate self oppressed individual, your kids are a challenge and your spouse is stressed and overwhelmed with work problems.
These are the realities we all face. I too spent years on courses, reading books in search of a tool that would work. It took me years to figure out that my problems had very little to do with what was going on around me. I did not realise just to what extend I was simply feeding off the energies of other people when I was attending personal development courses. Yes, I would come away a reformed person full of great ideas of how I would change my life around.
All these good intentions lasted until the moment I encountered a challenge. I went through a period in my life where I had nothing but challenges. My marriage fell apart, my beloved father died and I lost heaps in commodity trading. Not a pretty picture.
People would tell me to relax and chill out. Whenever I heard that advice I was ready to pounce. There was a lot of unresolved anger inside me. This anger prevented me from seeing how I was making things harder on myself than they needed to be, thus fuelling my frustration, stress and sense of overwhelm as my life simply was not going the way I had planned.
Through regular meditation and EFT and the study of the workings of the mind I came to realise that relaxation is the key. When you relax your mind goes into an alpha state. The slower brain waves allow you to observe what you are thinking and how your thoughts, based on your beliefs, have consequences.
Once you become aware how you produce thoughts that are counter productive to the outcomes you desire you will eventually stop them. You cannot carry on behaving in ways that are producing negative results. It is against your nature. Alas, you first need to be aware of how you produce these thoughts. Self awareness gives you power. It gives you power over yourself and thus over your life.
You can learn to relax and maintain an alpha state of mind for longer and longer periods. When you learn to stand back and learn to witness yourself from the outside, your brain waves slow down. You become more aware of your thinking. Self awareness gives you choices and that is why it is so important that you develop the skill of expanding your cognitive awareness.
In an alpha state you will notice how you do common stress behaviours, like procrastination, or lack problem solving abilities by focusing incorrectly without realising it.
Use energy techniques, like Micro EFT and EFT which you can learn from my many books and learn how your mind is made up of different personalities. Play with these techniques regularly and you will notice how you get more and more often what you want in your life.
