The holiday season is typically a stressful time for most of us.This year will be particularly stressful due to the increased financial strain many are facing. And for others it will also be emotionally painful due to the absence of loved ones, either currently away serving their country or lost in the many disasters both man-made and natural that have occurred throughout the world.

A season that historically is supposed to represent peace, love and joy, often turns out to be a nightmare from being stressed out, under-financed, and overwhelmed.

So when those old fashioned holiday tunes are playing, and the sadness starts rising, try tapping away those blues and then remember to smile.

Probably the single most stressful thing facing us this year is feeling the need to buy gifts for many but having limited resources.Another area of stress and concern is feeling the need for entertaining and pleasing others.These challenges can be faced with much more calm and mental clarity if you are tapping away your stress daily.

Our daily Stress Busting Guide is invaluable for relieving stress or anxiety as it comes up, keeping you calm and collected as each new difficulty arises.You can download this tapping guide for free from our web site. Use it morning and night during this busy season.

A Japanese study demonstrated that TFT meridian tapping normalizes cortisol, the stress hormone, levels in the body. Increased amounts of this stress hormone will leave you feeling tense and add to your feeling of being overwhelmed.It is well known that reduced stress contributes to a more robust immune system.

As we shop, interact in public, attend parties and travel, a healthy immune system is vital to maintaining our health. To learn how to use tapping for better health, just use the Stress Busting Guide regularly.

And then lastly, don’t allow your feelings of anger or guilt to linger and take up residence... try tapping them away as they surface.If you feel guilty that you can’t do or provide all that you would like to this season, or others have not met your expectations, tap away those harmful emotions.You can truly give and receive good feelings when your own negative emotions have been resolved. To find out where to tap for anger and guilt, go to the trauma relief blog, and the version for complex trauma with anger and guilt will help you to smile and reach out to others in the holiday spirit.

These are some simple ways that you can help turn your holidays into the peaceful and joyous time that we all wish for.As our gift, from Dr. Roger Callahan and Joanne Callahan, to all, we have provided these free tools to assist you, and wish you all a very blessed and joyous holiday season as we celebrate 30 years of healing with TFT.

Tapping into the Soul is at the leading edge of self-healing and personal development and growth. If this is important to you, whether your interest is personal or professional, this two-day workshop will significantly empower your mastery in these areas.

This forum is not academic…it’s practical, giving you revolutionary tools that actually expand consciousness and facilitate the creation of the life you want and were meant to live. It doesn’t give answers…rather it teaches remarkable techniques you will use yourself to discover the answers that are precisely right for you and for your highest good.

You will learn two primary and powerfully transformative tools:

• Basic TFT (Thought Field Therapy®)--an extraordinarily effective self-help technique that spawned the area of healing now called ‘Energy Psychology’. The original ‘tapping’ technique, TFT safely and rapidly relieves negative feelings such as trauma, fear, guilt and anger. You’ll learn how to easily and radically change how you feel…clearing the way for intentional creation and the full expression of life.

--and—

• Resonance Testing—a combination of an objective self-testing technique discovered by Dr. Roger Callahan, developer of TFT--and the process of testing whether or not something resonates with your own life force, enabling you to make choices that support and empower your life and deepest desires. Based on Dr. David Hawkins’ discoveries, we'll explore and practice resonance testing and calibrating issues that are relevant to your own life. These can include ideas, books, music, people, foods, courses, philosophies, and more.

--The synergy of these techniques allows life to flow
with greatly enhanced ease, grace and synchronicity--

Tapping into the Soul is an experiential workshop. You will walk out a different person than when you walked in. And you will be able to take home these essential tools to use for yourself and those you love for the rest of your life!

• Do you know there's so much more, but feel stuck?
• Do you feel held back by the past?
• Do you believe in the Law of Attraction but can’t seem to create what you want even though you think positive thoughts?
• Do you wish you knew which choice would help you feel better physically, emotionally—which one would be for your highest good?
• Do you want to help your  families live powerful lives no matter how chaotic the world seems?

We’ve have also experienced the frustration of not being able to get it to the world fast enough to help all who need the healing power of TFT!

Now we are working to have TFT available to all who need it, in any country and any language. We have combined the healing power of TFT with the powerful communication tool of the internet!

It takes virtually no money or moving bodies—just our joint effort to add information and connect it to the individuals and communities in need.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from violence, natural disaster, illness, divorce, loss of job, home or loved ones, etc. Imagine what impact the relief of their suffering—the fear, grief, guilt, stress, anger, hatred—could have on the world?

Helping people with anxiety, trauma and stress is what we do best. Giving the gift of emotional freedom from trauma, stress and anxiety, is a wonderful thing.

The simple words of the priests in Uganda, TFT trauma treatment gave them "...a grace they had longed for..." (see previous post) and it clearly demonstrates what a humbling tool the gift of Thought Field Therapy is for peace in the world.

It’s a beautiful demonstration of how using TFT to relieve the effects of trauma can open people to peace, compassion and community. What a difference it could make in areas that have been plagued by violent conflict.

The implication of this kind of transformation is truly inspirational, especially considered on a large scale!
