Clear Your Fear of Failure… By Dr. Carol Look

* If you weren’t afraid to fail, what risks would you take?

* If you weren’t afraid to fail, what new people would
you introduce yourself to today?

* If you weren’t afraid to fail, what ideas would
you share with others?

* If you weren’t afraid to fail, what would you
say to your loved ones?

Imagine how successful your life would be if you could Clear Your Fear of Failure. We lose so many opportunities when we’re afraid to fail, because the risk of failing outweighs the risk of losing these opportunities. If you’re afraid to fail, you live a smaller life, because smaller means less risk… less risk means fewer chances to fail in your own mind or in the eyes of others.  But just imagine how much abundance would flow into your life if you weren’t afraid to fail… 

Many of you have already thought about how your fear of failure blocks abundance… but changing still scares you.  And maybe you haven’t had the right tools to Clear Your Fear of Failure… until now.

Let’s start at the beginning. How do we get so afraid of failure that we won’t try anything new?  It takes time and training to learn how to be afraid of failing. In other words, we either learn the fear from someone in our family, we are taught that failing is terrible, (rather than just the world giving us feedback) or we have a negative experience and vow never to take a risk again…

I invite you to imagine a life without this fear… imagine a life with eagerness about looking forward to new ideas and new chances to succeed…

Imagine a life where trying something new
feels exciting and optimistic, rather than
dangerous or a recipe for failure.

That’s the problem – if you’re afraid to fail, then you won’t step out and try anything new, you’d rather play it safe and stay small.  And while you may lose incredible opportunities to expand and change by living this way, at least you won’t risk “failing” – whatever that means to you.

If you Clear Your Fear of Failure, you will be present in your daily life more, enjoy trying new ideas out on others, and engage in new activities that could yield great results in your personal and professional life.  Are you willing to try this clearing?  (I understand that clearing the fear seems risky too – as you may fear you might fail clearing the fear of failing!)  But it’s worth it… imagine a life without all this fear and worry about what each experience brings… what a relief.

We waste so much time trying to protect ourselves. When we are afraid of failing, we are forever avoiding conflicts, procrastinating, or making excuses as to why we ”can’t” do something.  It’s not that you feel as if you are missing valuable opportunities, it’s that you don’t see them as valuable to begin with — you only see them as chances to fail instead of expand.

So my invitation in this newsletter is for you to Clear Your Fear of Failure and enjoy a life of peace and calm as well as excitement and adventure… Did I go too far? Ok, forget the adventure part but at least enjoy the relief from the chronic fear and enjoy that not everything that is presented to you is an opportunity for failure!

It may be easier to stay the way you are,
but it’s not going to give you a life of abundance.

When we make the decision to Clear the Fear of Failure, we are making the decision that we want more success. When we want more success, the Universe hears us, and offers us more to be joyful about. Living in chronic fear is exhausting, and clearing this fear will give you so much more energy as well as so many more choices and opportunities for abundance and happiness.

Remember that our thoughts are real
and carry energy…

Our vibration matters!

The most important lesson I have learned from Law of Attraction teachers is that the Universe hears our vibration not our words.  I also learned that we will receive more of what we are “broadcasting” to the Universe on an energetic basis.  If you start raising your vibration by feeling optimistic, joyful, appreciative and grateful, abundance is sure to follow.  When you Clear Your Fear of Failure, you will be offering a clear signal to the Universe that you want to attract abundance, even if it’s not instantaneous and the journey has a few curves in the road. When the Universe is able to receive a clear signal or message from you – (no energetic interference from your attitudes) then the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favor.

It’s your choice… Clear Your Fear of Failure
and enjoy the successes that start
to flow into your life!

Below you will find EFT setup phrases to help you be inspired to release your blocks to being able to attract what you want into your life.

When you change your vibration,
you will change your life.

Value Yourself… By Dr. Carol Look

Imagine how much abundance you
would attract into your life if you started to
Value Yourself…

Most of us undervalue ourselves – we either learned this behavior, we have an incorrect image of our self-worth, or we think it’s inappropriate to see ourselves as having or offering value.  The exact opposite is true – it’s absolutely appropriate to Value Yourself, and what’s more, it will help you bring more valuable experiences into your life.

The truth is, if we don’t value ourselves – who we are at our core, what we offer as a friend, family member or employee - others won’t value us either.  We teach other people how to treat us – so it’s a good idea to Value Yourself starting now!

Another truth is that we are all deeply valuable,  yes, all of us, (even those people you don’t like), and we all offer value in this world in unique ways.  So if you are stuck on that beginning point that you aren’t valuable, you may need to do a lot of tapping on this!!

Typical “yes, buts” that I hear from people with chronically low self-esteem when I ask them to value themselves are: “But isn’t that being arrogant?” or “Isn’t it selfish to value yourself?” or “Doesn’t that put other people down?” Valuing yourself is good for all of us, it isn’t arrogant or selfish, and it allows other people to see a solid model of healthy self-esteem. Again, if you have any of these objections to valuing yourself, I invite you to do some tapping to clear these “yes, buts” from your energy system.

Start to Value Yourself right now by making a list of what you think is valuable about you… for example…

1. I’m a loyal friend

2. I get my work done on time

3. I contribute a lot to my family

4. I’m a good model for my kids

5. I’m learning how to take better care of myself

6. I have a good sense of humor etc.

Put anything on this list you are able to think of – it’s not bragging, it’s taking a realistic assessment of who you are, how you have grown, and what you offer in your personal and professional relationships.  Some people will find this exercise emotionally painful if they truly can’t find something to value – if this is the case for you, then I recommend you ask a close friend or family member what they value about you – it will kickstart this process… which is, well, invaluable.

Again, some of you need to examine why this makes you uncomfortable. Why wouldn’t you Value Yourself?  Do you think it’s a waste of time, or not worth the effort? Or maybe you think it’s just awkward.  I have been deeply valued by many people in my life, and I value everyone I come into contact with, even if I don’t like them!  What I know from my decades of professional experience and my personal journey through life is that taking the time and energy to Value Yourself and others will be life-changing in all the right ways.

And what does this have to do with attracting abundance?  When you communicate to the Universe that you are valuable, then the Universe can match that vibration and “deliver” what you want on any level – spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially – into your life.

If you truly want to attract abundance into your life, you need to start to Value Yourself now.  In addition to making the simple list I recommended earlier, here are a few more ways to Value Yourself:

1. Notice what you do for others every day that’s helpful.

2. Make sure you practice better self-care every day – through exercise, energy work, eating well or getting a good night’s sleep. People who value themselves take care of themselves.

3. Follow through – when you say you’re going to do something for yourself or a friend, follow through, it raises your self-esteem.

4. Take time to check in with your needs, feelings, and desires every day.  People who value themselves know what their “interior world” feels like.

5. Write your daily gratitude list – it’s another way to find value in your life, even if you’re having difficulty finding value in yourself.

It’s pretty simple – my invitation in this newsletter is for you to Value Yourself so that others and the Universe start to value you too!

Remember that our thoughts are real
and carry energy…

Our vibration matters!

The most important lesson I have learned from Law of Attraction teachers is that the Universe hears our vibration not our words.  I also know that we will receive more of what we are “broadcasting” to the Universe on an energetic basis.

If you start raising your vibration
by feeling optimistic, joyful, appreciative
and grateful, abundance is sure to follow.

When you Value Yourself, you are offering a clear signal to the Universe that you are ready to receive the abundance you have been asking for because you are worth it.   When you Value Yourself, you are providing the energetic vibration that will attract more value into your life.  When the Universe receives this clear signal or message from you – (no energetic interference from your negative emotions) then the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favor. So give the Universe the right message – you ARE valuable.

It’s your choice… Value Yourself
and enjoy the abundance that starts
to flow into your life!

Align With Your Purpose… By Dr. Carol Look

Imagine how much abundance would flow
into your life if you chose to
Align with Your Purpose…

What does it look like and feel like when you Align With Your Purpose?

When you Align With Your Purpose, everything you do is in the service of your purpose – and it feels so good!  This means no more leaking energy in different directions, no more wasting energy on projects that aren’t good for you, and no more spending energy on relationships and activities that aren’t truly in alignment with what you want in your life.

Yes, if you haven’t figured out what your “purpose” is, then of course it’s challenging to align with it.  But once you clear the blocks to knowing your purpose, then you can Align…  So how do you figure out what your purpose is supposed to be?  Well, for starters, it’s not “supposed” to be anything – it feels right and exciting when you get the aha, and it feels wonderful when you know that you’re on target.

What are you good at, what do you love to do, and what makes you feel as if you have a calling? (By the way, your purpose is not a career… it’s a “calling” that feels deeper, more holistic, and well, more purposeful!)

My purpose is to serve others in the best way I possibly can - primarily, I serve others through my coaching programs, workshops and other interactions like this newsletter.  And when I’m serving others, I’m deeply aware of my gratitude for them.  I also serve others by using humor, and I definitely serve them from a place of love.   And if these qualities aren’t present, then I’m not in alignment.  In other words, if I’m not aware of my gratitude or listening deeply or coming from love when I’m coaching one of my groups, then I’m not in alignment at those times.  And then I notice that, and get back on track.

Are you ready and willing to
Align with Your Purpose and let
the abundance flow into your life?

The simple”energetic” equation to remember is that your vibration (your mood, attitude, feelings) will attract back to you similar vibrations that feel like a “match” to your frequency.

My invitation in this newsletter is to Align With Your Purpose which means you’re going to have to look for listen, for and feel what your purpose in life is…

Remember that our thoughts are real
and carry energy…

Our vibration matters!

Law of Attraction teachers tell us that the Universe hears our vibration not our words.  We will always receive what we are “broadcasting” to the Universe on an energetic basis… what are you broadcasting now?

If you start raising your vibration
by feeling optimistic, joyful, appreciative
and grateful, abundance is sure to follow.

When you make the decision that you want to Align With Your Purpose, the universe is able to receive a very clear message from you (no energetic interference from any negative emotions) and then the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favor.  So give the universe the right message – that you believe and know that it’s a great idea to come from a place of prosperity and Align With Your Purpose in everything you do.

It’s your choice…
Align With Your Purpose and enjoy the successes
that start to flow into your life!

Below you will find EFT setup phrases to help you be inspired to release your blocks to being able to attract what you want into your life.

When you change your vibration,
you will change your life.

Create Emotional Manifestations First… By Dr. Carol Look

Imagine how much abundance
you would attract into your life if you chose to
Create Emotional Manifestations First…

What exactly is an Emotional Manifestation?  An Emotional Manifestation is a term coined by the Law of Attraction specialists of the Abraham-Hicks team to describe a simple but noticeable improvement in your feelings.  If you move from cranky to happy, that would be considered an Emotional Manifestation.  If you were able to change your mood from depressed to a little bit optimistic, that would be considered an Emotional Manifestation. When your feelings improve, you have created an Emotional Manifestation rather than what we are usually looking for – a physical manifestation (such as a car, promotion, contract etc).

Law of Attraction teachers are convinced that Emotional Manifestations are an essential ingredient to the success of attracting physical manifestations (things) in your life.  It means that you are committed to making an effort to practice reaching for relief, you look for thoughts that will help you feel better, and it means you are willing to try anything in your power to improve your vibration rather than being too focused on the physical manifestations of the job, the house, the salaray increase or whatever you want to attract.

Does changing your focus to Creating Emotional Manifestations work to speed up the attraction of physical manifestations into your life?  Yes, since as you know, everything is about energy and your vibration!  So if you want to speed up attracting what you want in your life, you’ll need to stop being distracted by whether or not these physical manifestations have shown up yet or not, and start working on Creating Emotional Manifestations First.

You might be thinking, can it really be that simple?  Can I really attract what I want just by feeling better?  Yes, when you know the power of your energy and your vibration.  You’ve read my newsletters about the power of vibration, and some of you know my products that describe how abundance is actually a vibration rather than an amount in your bank account.

Creating Emotional Manifestations is the work
you need to do to make the changes
you want in your life.

So what stands in our way… what do we usually do instead of Creating Emotional Manifestations First? We are usually worried about the lack of physical manifestations that haven’t shown up yet – it’s a bad habit to notice what’s not here in spite of our hard work. We usually focus on what’s wrong, not how easy it is to feel better.  And most importantly, we usually discount the power of our feelings.  Sometimes we waste our time checking and worrying, and being frustrated and impatient that what we want hasn’t materialized already…  Again, if you want to attract what you want into your life faster, you’ll need to focus on Creating Emotional Manifestations First.

You want what you want, right? So do I… So we all need to start doing what will inevitably help us to attract what we want at an incredibly fast pace:  Create Emotional Manifestations First.  Here are a few ways to get there…

1. Reach for a feeling of relief

2. Change your subject of attention to something more positive

3. Notice, comment or write about what’s going well

4. Write your gratitude list

5. Use tapping on your conflicted emotions

6. Stay in the now, and enjoy each moment

So whether you continue writing your gratitude lists, or work on your vibration through meditation, or practice raising your vibration through focus and intention, it’s time to recognize the power of Creating Emotional Manifestations First…  you will be thrilled with what follows!

My invitation in this newsletter is for you to Create Emotional Manifestations First and enjoy a wonderful sense of anticipation as the physical manifestations start to show up for you.  Trust that you are on the right path when you start to control your emotions.  When we feel inspired to Create Emotional Manifestations First, we move towards peace and joy, and can even feel optimistic about the attraction process.

Remember that our thoughts are real
and carry energy…

Our vibration matters!

The most important lesson I have learned from Law of Attraction teachers is that the Universe hears our vibration not our words.  I also learned that we will receive more of what we are “broadcasting” to the Universe on an energetic basis.  If you start raising your vibration by feeling optimistic, joyful, appreciative and grateful, abundance is sure to follow.

When you Create Emotional Manifestations First, you will be offering a clear signal to the Universe that you want to attract abundance because you are providing the energetic vibration that will attract it.  When the Universe receives a clear signal or message from you – (no energetic interference from your negative emotions) then the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favor.

to flow into your life!

The History of Tapping: An Accidental Discovery Leads to a Healing Revolution

It began in 1980, with a psychologist by the name of Roger Callahan, and a patient with an extreme phobia of water. Mary's fear of water controlled her life and kept her from daily activities. She was unable to take her children to the beach and was unable to drive near the ocean; she grew fearful when it rained, and could not even withstand the sight of water on TV. She had vivid nightmares involving water.

Dr. Callahan and Mary had been working on this problem together for over a year. Finally, Mary worked up the courage to sit within sight of the pool at Dr. Callahan's house. Even doing this caused Mary extreme distress, and though she found ways to cope with the intense fear and emotional pain, she did not overcome her phobia. They discussed her problem, and how to overcome it, but without success.

Her fear of being near the water caused Mary stomach pains – a common "gut reaction." Dr. Callahan had recently been studying traditional Chinese medicines, and learning about meridians. Suddenly he had an inspiration. Remembering that there was an acupuncture point for the stomach meridian on the cheekbone, he asked her to tap there, thinking it might cure her stomach pains.

Mary tapped her cheekbone as directed, and this little action changed medicinal history! The response seemed miraculous, to both Mary and Dr. Callahan. Her stomach pains disappeared. But even more amazingly, her phobia of water disappeared, too! She ran down to the pool and began splashing herself with water, rejoicing in her newfound freedom from fear.

Based on this discovery, Dr. Callahan began a series of investigations to develop and refine this technique, which he termed Thought Field Therapy. Gary Craig trained under Dr. Callahan's tutelage in the 1990's, learning the procedures for TFT. As time passed, Craig began to observe some problems with TFT, aspects that he saw were unnecessary complications.

TFT required practitioners to tap on a specific sequence of meridians (called an algorithm) for each different problem. Diagnosing the problem required a technique called muscle testing, wherein the practitioner would measure the relative strength of a muscle, while the patient explored various thoughts or statements.

Craig observed repeated scenarios in which the problem was incorrectly diagnosed or the practitioner tapped out the meridian points in the wrong order, yet the patient was still helped.. Based on these observations, he concluded that it did not matter in which order the meridian points were tapped.

Craig developed EFT as a simplified, improved version of the concepts behind Callahan's TFT. EFT has one basic, simple sequence of points to tap, no matter what the situation.

Because of this, thousands of people have used Tapping for illnesses and to resolve emotional problems. Tapping practitioners have studied the techniques and trained to take on more complicated and difficult cases, and these dedicated practitioners report more successful applications daily. More and more people are discovering and exploring Tapping. Many are discovering how Tapping can change their lives.

So How Does It All Work?

All negative emotions are felt through a disruption of the body's energy. And physical pain and disease are intricately connected to negative emotions. Health problems create feedback – physical symptoms cause emotional distress, and unresolved emotional problems manifest themselves through physical symptoms. So, the body's health must be approached as a whole. You cannot treat the symptoms without addressing the cause, and vice-versa.

The body, like everything in the universe, is composed of energy. Restore balance to the body's energy, and you will mend the negative emotions and physical symptoms that stem from the energy disruption. Tapping restores the body's energy balance, and negative emotions are conquered.

The basic technique requires you to focus on the negative emotion at hand: a fear or anxiety, a bad memory, an unresolved problem, or anything that's bothering you. While maintaining your mental focus on this issue, use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times each on 12 of the body's meridian points. Tapping on these meridian points – while concentrating on accepting and resolving the negative emotion – will access your body's energy, restoring it to a balanced state.

You may be wondering about these meridians. Put simply, energy circulates through your body along a specific network of channels. You can tap into this energy at any point along the system.

This concept comes from the doctrines of traditional Chinese medicine, which referred to the body's energy as "ch'i." In ancient times, the Chinese discovered 100 meridian points. They also discovered that by stimulating these meridian points, they could heal. Call it energy, call it the Source, call it life force, call it ch'i… Whatever you want to call it, it works.

In some ways, Tapping is similar to acupuncture. Like Tapping, acupuncture achieves healing through stimulating the body's meridians and energy flow. However, unlike Tapping, acupuncture involves needles! "No needles" is definitely one of the advantages of Tapping.

Acupuncture also takes years to master. Acupuncture practitioners must memorize hundreds of meridian points along the body; the knowledge and training take years to acquire.

Tapping is simple and painless. It can be learned by anyone. And you can apply it to yourself, whenever you want, wherever you are. It's less expensive and less time consuming. It can be used with specific emotional intent towards your own unique life challenges and experiences. Most importantly, it gives you the power to heal yourself, putting control over your destiny back into your own hands.

What is Tapping?

physical pain, compulsions and addictions, or perhaps just an empty feeling inside. Along with these problems come pills to kill the pain, sleep at night, and suppress anxiety – but this is hardly better than the disease.

If you're like many people, you feel trapped, caught in this cycle. You're tired of feeling sad, depressed, anxious, discontent, and unwell. You're sick of the expensive and ineffective treatments. You're fed up with relinquishing the power over your health and happiness to psychologists and doctors. You'd like to grow, flourish, and thrive, putting the past in the past. You want to be your best, living a life that is filled with peacefulness, joy, and fulfillment, from day to day and moment to moment.

With Tapping, you can do that. You can discover the vital secret for emotional wholeness and physical relief. You can take your physical and emotional well-being into your own hands. It's simple for anyone to master, and it's free.

Tapping provides relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical diseases. While Tapping is newly set to revolutionize the field of health and wellness, the healing concepts that it's based upon have been in practice in Eastern medicine for over 5,000 years. Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques which utilize the body's energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body's own energy and healing power.

Your body is more powerful than you can imagine… filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing. With Tapping, you can take control of that power.

How can something so simple be so powerful?

If you want to get paid what you’re really worth, stop worrying about bills, be the star player at work and contribute more to the causes you believe in… you owe it to yourself to learn the science of Tapping.

Tapping is a groundbreaking fusion of modern Western science and the ancient Eastern concept of Meridian points. Hundreds of thousands just like you are using it to overcome their subconscious wealth-blocking barriers, and spark fast and lasting improvements in their abundance, careers and quality of life.

Many call it one of the most simple yet surprisingly powerful personal growth tools they’ve ever used – and this is your chance to experience it for yourself.
