Healing Insights

Healing Insights Dear One,

I just got discharged from the hospital yesterday after a 5 day stay that was a result of a spiritual attack. Yes, I state it this openly because I feel sufficiently comfortable with myself to not care too much about what people think, and because of the Law of Attraction, whereby I know that the subscribers of this newsletter can only be people who are understanding, compassionate and supportive because that is the kind of person that I am.

(Yes that includes YOU!)

This past week was yet another opportunity for me to test my inner resilience and self-understanding, and I rejoice for the lessons that I learnt from these precious few days. Yet again, I was given the chance to shed off another layer of old conditioning, coming out brighter, newer and ready to shine more light into the world.

One lesson that I learnt was that it is different from THINKING enlightened-ly to BEING enlightened. All this while, I considered myself as a wise compassionate person who knows how to radiate love towards others. But it's only yesterday, where I experienced a more authentic expression of love, which was manifested as simple acts of goodwill towards family members.

Yes, I will confess that I am one who finds it easier to be kind to strangers than to be kind to loved ones, so it took me a while to understand this. That It is because our loved ones trigger our hot buttons, that is why we are kinder towards them, for not only do they give us their love (even if it is expressed in ways which do not suit our individual preferences), they give us the chance to acknowledge our flaws so that we may become better human beings.

This was a HUGE lesson for me that I only intellectually knew in the past and now finally got it experientially. In the HEART and not just in the head.

And this also provided me another lesson that oftentime, being a better human being does not mean going to more workshops, reading more books, or even doing more EFT!

Then what is it about?

Here's the clue: It is not about the Doing.

It is about BE-ing fully honest with yourself and giving yourself the chance to see your shortcomings. This requires a very healthy ego. An ego that has the attitude of "Yes, I am often unkind to my loved ones, but I'm still a good human being." In EFT language, it could be the Setup Statement of "Even though I am unkind to my loved ones, I deeply and completely accept myself".

Many people are sandwiched between not wanting to see their shortcomings ("Me unkind? Never! Did you not see me giving $10 to that tissue lady???"), and not wanting to admit that they are MORE than just their shortcomings ("I am so unkind that I should stop teaching EFT forever!" - ya, I can be so drama mama....)

Nevertheless, we are all at different levels of enlightenment, and that's exactly where we need to be, and it's not bad. A 10 year old cannot be judged for not being as "educated" as a university graduate. A 10 year old is simply a 10 year old and what do we do with 10 year olds? The same thing as we do with 20 year olds, 30 year olds.... and even 80 and 90 year olds.

We love them.

And we give them time to mature, so that more of their true beingness gets revealed day by day.

So here are some questions for reflections:

What is a shortcoming that you often detect in yourself?

Can you accept yourself for having this shortcoming?

Have you figured out the antidote to that shortcoming?

If yes, can you practice it using the HEART for this week?

Personally, I am lazy about answering such questions and would usually skip them in self-help books/newsletters unless someone is standing next to me making sure I do it.

So kudos to those of you who are taking the time to answer those questions!!! :)

To those who showed concern to me whether it's in your hearts or through sms, thank you very much for your love and concern. And in case you are still wondering how I am now... I have never been better!

Btw this statement applies no matter when you ask me this question because life always helps me to grow into a bigger, better and more beautiful person, so I ALWAYS am better than I was just a moment ago.:)

Tapping Exercise for today:

Doing the Karate Chop point, say "Even though I have this shortcoming that I feel ____ (i.e. guilty, angry, sad) about, I recognise that humans, like natural diamonds, are beautiful because of the flaws in them, and I choose to love myself anyway, giving myself all the time I need to understand the source of this shortcoming and to overcome it naturally and easily."

Tap the rest of the EFT points just paying attention to your feelings about the this particular shortcoming you have, and take note of memories and thoughts that surface, which could be material for further EFT sessions.

May you see yourself as a divine and magnificent being, who is not beyond shortcomings and negativities, but still shine radiantly anyway!

Here are some good EFT stuff that you can check out.

For clearing money blocks - http://secretofintentionalwealth.com/blocks/ . The typical Internet marketing here may make it tempting for some of you to buy the products. Take note that I do not receive any commission if you do so, but I would recommend that you go ahead if you intend to use the products after that, because EFT does work and I like Margaret Lynch's very positive and grounded energy. otherwise, just use the free videos and other freebies (like me!).
PS: If you do get her stuff, let me know how it is!

For knowing what to say when doing tapping - EFT Affirmation Cards. I designed these cards because people always ask me "What do I say?". These cards went from idea-in-the-head to actual-3-D-product in less than 48 hours, so I know that these cards, like my book, was a divine inspiration. Check them out at my website: http://www.lenashealinghaven.com/onlinestores.htm#onlinestore . For readers of this newsletter, I am offering a very special offer limited to the 1st 5 folks who email me to order a box (at $30) - you will be getting a copy of my book "Emotional Freedom At Your Fingertips: How to get from PISSED to PEACE in mere minutes with Emotional Freedom Techniques" for free. You may get them directly from me or I can have them delivered them to you via snail mail.

For learning more about EFT or getting more motivated to tap - EFT documentary "The Tapping Solution" (formerly known as "Try It On Everything"). Inspiring, heartwarming, and informative, this documentary features normal people applying EFT to their issues, as well as well known folks such as Jack Canfield and Bob Proctor. I hold free movie screenings on the first Sat of every month (except for last one which got cancelled unfortunately), but if you wish to loan the DVD from me, just ASK. You may also purchase your own copy from the website: http://www.thetappingsolution.com/index2.php Tapping may not be the best way to reach enlightenment (simply because there is no such thing as "the best way"...) but as those of you who have been tapping would know, it's a super good and easy way to progress towards that direction more swiftly. So keep tapping! :)

Happy Comments

Comments about previous EFT Level I workshops:

"Enjoyed your first session very much. Useful information was imparted and your engaging faciliatation skills made the session enjoyable and fruitful in terms of experiential learning in a non-threatening atmosphere." Casey, teacher

"Well done, Lena. Keep TAP, TAP, TAP... I have learned a good deal and looking forward to Level 2." Freddy, Hypnotherapist

"It was an insightful experience and I feel that the way it was taught, it was very convincing. The personal tapping helped a lot to make sense of what was taught. Thank you. I enjoyed myself." Anette Kettenbech, psychologist

"Lena is an inspiring and yet down-to-earth trainer by not only providing the "technicalities" and "principles of EFT", but more importantly, her honesty in sharing how EFT application may be hindered by human moods via her own negative experiences and live demos with volunteers." Arina Lim, homemaker

I hope to meet you at the next workshop!

Till the next time we meet, may each moment of your life be blessed by clarity and joy.

Love and blessings,
