Hello everyone
There are so many wonderful resources available free online to help us to learn more about EFT these days that it is getting difficult to fit everything into the monthly Self Healing Portal newsletters without bombarding you with too much at once. So I’ve decided to periodically send out a mid month note with links to a couple of resources that I’ve found to be really helpful. If you are busy and finding it difficult to find the time to listen to resources like these, but serious about your healing, you might want to consider downloading these interviews onto an MP3 player and listening to them while walking or gardening or shovelling snow, or whatever it is that is keeping you busy!
The first link this month is to a fantastic interview of Rick Wilkes by Gary Williams of EFT World. Rick is not only a really good EFT coach but is also brilliant at helping to explain the really key concepts of EFT. Each time I listen to this interview I pick something else up, or hear a reminder that helps me to see how I could approach something differently. If you haven’t listened to this interview at least once, and you consider yourself to be serious about healing with EFT, I strongly recommend that you check it out. It runs for just under an hour and is absolutely packed with ideas and great ways of explaining how EFT works effectively. You can listen to or download the interview from here.
The second link is to a free teleclass by Betty Moore-Hafter which is another must listen to for anyone serious about using EFT. Betty generously combines her understanding of the subconscious with her love of language and her in depth understanding of people and EFT to help us to use language creatively with EFT. If you have any stubborn issues that just aren’t budging no matter how you approach them, this interview will give you loads of ideas on how you can bring empathy to those parts of you that are hurting and in doing so aid them to open up and let you know what you most need to address with your tapping. The teleclass comes supported by a brilliant free booklet that gives details of the different phrases Betty introduces in the class. The booklet has a really helpful summary at the end that you can use to glance at if you are tapping and getting stuck, it gives phrases you can use to really let those hurting parts know that you understand how they feel. I believe that the power of EFT lies largely in helping us to find ways to truly accept ourselves and Betty’s use of language has really helped me with this. It is so easy for us to say the standard setup phrase while rejecting the part of us driving unwanted behaviour or physical symptoms without even realising we are doing it. If we have a “stubborn” issue in our lives that just isn’t budging, it’s an indication that on some level we aren’t truly hearing a part of us that has something to say that we really need to hear. Betty’s teleclass can really help in cases like these. You can download the class free from Betty’s website www.creativeeft.com – look for both the class and booklet “Creative Language with EFT”.
Until next time,
Jo

Newsletter February 2009
Hello everyone
This month has seen some changes at the Self Healing Portal. What was shaping up to be a major frustration due to a crash and my limited computer skills has instead been taken as an opportunity for a revamp - as the number of articles climbs the portal Articles pages has become a bit unwieldy for new users, so the articles have now been categorised to make it easier to find your way around. The old articles have all been maintained with their existing links in order to keep the integrity of any links from outside sites coming into the Self Healing Portal, so hopefully no-one has experienced any frustration in finding older articles. They are all now also listed on the new tab called “Articles Index”.
We have five new articles this month, including two by guest writers:
EFT and the Power of Forgiveness by Pat Burns
In this continuation of our series of articles written by people who have discovered something that has been really key on their healing journey, Pat Burns shares the difference that forgiveness has made for her on her healing journey. Many thanks to Pat for this insightful article.
Tips from an EFT Self Helper by Chim
Anyone who has spent time on the EFT Forums over the last few months is likely to have come across a very enthusiastic poster by the name of Chim who has embraced EFT for self healing and loves to share what she has learnt with others. In this article Chim gives tips that she has gathered during her experience with EFT. Many thanks to Chim for enthusiastically sharing her learnings with us all.
Focusing as a way of Moving Forward
This article gives information and links about some free resources on the web that can really help us when we are stuck with healing a particular issue, whether or not we use the tool of Focusing. Whatever method you are using, you might find something useful in these wonderful resources.
Tips for using Matrix Reimprinting – A Powerful Method of Healing
This article is a follow up on our Introduction to Matrix Reimprinting article last month. It contains various tips to help you to really gain the benefit of this powerful tool in your own healing.
How can I know if I’m working with the right EFT practitioner for me?
This one has been written in response to several questions lately from people who are working with EFT practitioners and just aren’t sure whether to hang in with them even though things don’t seem to be budging, or find a new practitioner to work with. The questions in this article are designed to help you to find your own answer to this for yourself.
Very best wishes all,
Jo

Newsletter January 2009
Hello everyone
We have five new articles on the Self Healing Portal this month. Please note that if you want to print any of the articles, you will need to copy and paste them to MS Word (or equivalent) to print as I still haven’t had the chance to resolve the printing issue. Please also bear with me with a few gremlins – the New Year is challenging my limited computer skills and I’ve had to do some strange workarounds to get this month’s newsletter out!
Here’s our new articles, hopefully there will be something of interest to each of you:
What will be gained when I take care of myself? By Rebecca Baldwin
This article by Rebecca is a very inspiring way to start the year – a look at just what is to be gained when we do our healing. If you are looking for motivation on your self healing journey, or would like to reflect on just how important it is to do our healing, this article will be of interest to you.
Trauma and EFT by Marian Mills
EFT Practitioner Marian Mills kindly shares some information that could be of interest and use to you if you are working through any trauma (big or little) with EFT. Marian explains how most of us have some trauma in our history and how important it is to deal with it.
The Importance of Support in Healing By Gillian Wightman
This article is a continuation of our guest articles written by people who have found something that has made a big difference in their own healing journey. Gill shares how the support of others has made a huge difference for her in her own healing process. This article gives a great example of what Marian talks about regarding the need for support to clear trauma in her article above.
Fear originating from Birth Trauma
This article is a good example of how our behaviour in present time can be driven by unresolved birth trauma that we are unaware of. It gives insight into why it can be very important to clear our early traumas and also supports the message in Marian’s article above.
Introduction to Matrix Reimprinting
This short article gives links to information available free on the internet to help you to learn a wonderful new way of working with EFT. In future editions of this newsletter we will have examples of how to work with this powerful method of healing.
Happy New Year everyone. Here’s to a year of joy and fun and laughter and growth and healing for all of us.
Very best wishes,

Newsletter December 2008
Hello everyone
It’s been brought to my attention that the articles on the Self Healing Portal don’t print well at all. I apologise for not having found the time to address this, and suggest that anyone wanting to print the articles simply copies and pastes the particular article to MS Word or another programme to print from. It has also been brought to my attention that if anyone replies to the newsletters with feedback or questions, it doesn’t arrive in the Self Healing Portal inbox. So if you do want to write with any feedback or questions, please email them to me at selfheal4me@gmail.com Thanks.
We have four new articles this month on the Self Healing Portal:
I’m SO excited about the new me I’m experiencing By Arum
Arum’s article is an inspiring look at how we can do our healing with EFT even if we aren’t in the financial position to pay for ongoing support with a practitioner. Arum kindly shares her story and thoughts on how you can learn EFT for self healing and in doing so move mountains. Many thanks to Arum for taking the time to write up her story so others can be inspired and learn from it.
The Power of Proxy Tapping
I’ve written a few times lately about Silvia Hartmann’s proxy tapping. As I’ve seen some great results with it, I thought I’d document my thoughts a few months down the track from starting using it.
Inner Child Healing Resources
The inner child is basically a useful metaphor for enabling us to be able to heal childhood issues without the overwhelming us. Doing this sort of work can be very empowering and cut to the root of many of our current day issues. This article contains reflections and information about various resources that can help you with this sort of approach to healing.
Why do I have all these issues?
This short article gives an overview of and links to a fantastic interview able to listen to free of charge on the internet. It contains information that can really help us to understand why we have developed the issues that we have. While this understanding is not essential on our healing path, it can be helpful in giving us perspective about the path we are walking.
Season’s greetings and very best wishes,
Jo

Hello everyone
We have four new articles on the Self Healing Portal this month:
A Healing Journey by Rebecca Baldwin
Rebecca has battled for many years with depression and major challenges with her weight and binge eating. She has searched for answers in many directions and for a long time feared that nothing would really shift things enough to be able to lead the joyful life she so desperately wanted but had trouble envisaging due to her challenges. In this article Rebecca shares with the Self Healing Portal readers a method that she has discovered that has helped her move towards peace and truly learning how to love herself. Many thanks to Rebecca for sharing this inspiring article.
Clearing Emotions to Expose the Point of View
This article details a powerful example of how emotions are generated from a point of view, and how we can use EFT to clear the emotions and then reframe the point of view. The article also details aspects of particular relevance to anyone with a highly sensitive temperament.
A Shift in Perspective
Most of us go through life taking on points of view as a result of the experiences we’ve had, then collecting evidence over the years that support our points of view. Healing requires us to allow the points of view to change as we clear the emotional trauma associated with the experiences that result in us taking on the beliefs and perspectives that we did. This article takes a look at this and how we can use tools to assist us with allowing the points of view to change.
Tips for Using the Movie Technique
The Movie Technique in EFT is an incredibly powerful one but at first glance some people seem to be put off it, either thinking that it’s too simple to work or too complicated to use! This tool is too good not to be in every DIY EFT’ers toolkit, so this article examines some of the common misunderstandings with the Movie Technique and gives some suggestions for dealing with it when it’s not working the way it should.

Newsletter September 2008
Hello everyone
Thanks to everyone who has sent feedback on the new free book You CAN Heal with EFT, it's been very much appreciated and great to hear that people are learning new ways of working with EFT and getting past blocks to using it. If you've downloaded it and haven't got around to reading it, the feedback coming through suggests it is worth the time, as there are quite a few ideas and different concepts that can really help us with our healing. Please continue to help get the word out and let anyone you know who might benefit from the book know that it's free to download from the Self Healing Portal. Thank you.
For those who have been finding the font hard to read on the new Self Healing Portal, I've had a friend help me and we've figured out the line spacing so it is hopefully now more readable. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to make the font bigger on this newsletter!
There is a great new resource on the net for anyone looking for someone else to do some EFT tapping with. Pat is a regular reader of the EFT Forums and read there that it can be very supportive to have someone else to tap with, either in person or by Skype/MSN or phone. When she couldn't find a way to easily connect with others looking for tapping buddies, she decided to set up a space online specifically for that purpose. There is nothing quite so isolating as feeling that we are all alone on our healing journey. A place to connect with others and find someone to share mutual support with is invaluable. Many thanks to Pat for taking this great initiative. You can find the new website at http://tappingbuddies.net/. Please share this web address with anyone who you know who may benefit from it. Thank you.
This month we have four new articles on the portal:
The Dangers of Positive Thinking (a.k.a. Making friends with "negativity")
I know, we are all supposed to be thinking positive! However I've found over time that sometimes positive thinking is simply smearing a thin coat of pain over issues that are having far more influence in our lives than we realise, so this article explores how we can use tools like EFT & Focusing to overcome this.
A Powerful Method for Clearing Writing off the Walls
This details some powerful healing I did recently to clear a long term issue for myself. If you are looking for fresh ideas on how to break past long term issues, this article might be of real use to you.
Getting Past that Brick Wall
This article is an account of some healing done recently with the son of a friend of mine. It's a powerful example of how listening to what is going on inside us can be a huge catalyst in helping us to access how it is that we are really feeling. This case shows clearly how EFT and Focusing are really helpful used side by side.
More on Auto-Immune Illnesses
With the upsurge in allergies and environmental illnesses there is a real need for more understanding on how we end up with these illnesses and what we can do about them. This article gives an analogy that might help some to find a way through their journey with an auto-immune illness.
