Jan, I had emailed a local (EFT) trainer not long ago. She mentioned the possibility of skipping level one, and doing level 2. Where should I start? The foremost reason for this is to get certification. I’m not sure what is required. I’d actually like to start with level 1, but travel is not easy for me.
Answer from Jan
My personal opinion is that these trainings (especially now that they are 2-day events—this is a lot of information!) need to be taken in their sequential order. It will save you a lot of worry about missing a key element to effective application of EFT and it will build your confidence to have all of the foundational information right from the start. I personally will not accept a student in level 2 that has not attended a level 1 and practiced for at least 3 months.
I certainly understand the travel challenges.
Perhaps the real question is where do you wish to go with EFT? If your heart is being called to be a full time practitioner, realize that you are devoting a mere two days toward something that will help you build a business that will last for decades! Not to mention that if you are indeed building a career and business, the investment could bring a return of thousands of dollars per month for years to come!
If, however, you are interested in EFT strictly for personal applications then it may not be worth the time or investment. If you are considering learning EFT strictly for personal application, the time and investment would have to be weighed against how much you might otherwise end up paying a practitioner to assist you over the years.
Trust your heart. You know if this is merely a want or a true urging from your spirit.
Sending you love, support and hugs,
Jan

Which diagnosis results in post traumatic stress disorder?
Answer from Jan
What a great question! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to elaborate.
I have found that whenever a client is “diagnosed” with a chronic condition or has a sudden life changing situation, they often experience PTSD type symptoms after the fact.
Two examples from this month’s client list:
A cancer patient finishes treatment and everything ‘should be good’ but they are depressed, nervous and fearful. They don’t trust that they are okay. Using EFT, we clear the traumatic memory of the day the Doctor gave them the diagnosis and they experience an immediate increase of peace and well-being.
Young parents that have lost an infant 90 minutes after birth. Obviously, if they had been given the news that something was wrong in the delivery room it would be highly traumatic.. This couple, however, was given a diagnosis prior to labor and delivery and it might have been easily overlooked. By deliberately working through the trauma of getting that diagnosis, or any ‘dreadful news’, the client can began the process of grieving.

That word Resistance…. I don’t know if it will resonate with my friend, but it sure does keep coming up in my life… I got a daily quote (pasted in below) today about resistance…not that I EVER have any resistance to anything…LOL… I am working hard on releasing resistance and being open!
Death is an inevitable cycle. But sickness before death is a symptom of resistance. Most people think they’ve got to get sick to die. But, you could be like the cat who chooses to get run over. Or, you could just lie down in your bed happily one night, so content and thoughtless, wanting nothing in this physical world; and just reemerge into Pure Positive Energy… You can play it out any way you choose. - Abraham
On another subject, do you ever hear that your clients or others doing tapping can get very tired after tapping?
Answer from Jan
Hey there…. LOL about the resistance…
A suggestion…..I would invite you to ask your little voice (EGO) what might happen if I don’t know… if I am wrong…. If someone doesn’t believe me… those kinds of questions. I feel like it is coming from a vulnerable place of trying to protect feeling safe about knowing what is going on and bottom line little voice (EGO) is always worried about being right. What if I am not right? HEY>>>> I might learn something LOL
I do believe the quote you sent by Abraham…. Struggle is a state of mind and so is pain!
On the other subject…YES! Clients that are clearing emotional blocks often feel drained for a season when they are tapping….that is why I often joke and call it emotional aerobics. We are literally giving our emotional body a work out as we work through our stories.
Hugs,
Jan
