Tapping into Abundance

By: Larry Christopher Have you seen or read The Secret, or maybe some older classics of positive thinking like Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill? These and countless other books, videos and seminars talk about something called the Law of Attraction, which says that we can attract whatever we desire with our thoughts.

Not everyone believes this, of course. Some are even offended by it, pointing out that the world is so full of unhappiness, sickness and poverty. They ask, are we supposed to believe that people choose these outcomes? Even for those who would like to believe in the Law of Attraction, it can be difficult when faced with challenging circumstances.

Well, my understanding is that the Law of Attraction is 100% true. There is only one catch, and it can be a zinger for those of us trying to apply this law in our lives. The problem is that most of us have subconscious blocks to our efforts at creating prosperity consciousness and better lives in general.

Negative subconscious beliefs, that may have been with us since early childhood, can be difficult to overcome. Our conscious desire for prosperity, for example, can be thwarted by an unconscious belief that we don't deserve it. These negative beliefs don't have to make sense to block us.

There is a simple technique that allows us to almost instantly remove blocks. It is called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and is based on the Chinese system of acupuncture (no needles though!) combined with modern psychology. It is so simple in fact, that many people are skeptical that it can really work --until they try it.

EFT works by having us tap various points on our body. This sends energy through the meridians (pathways that energy follows through the body). Tapping is combined with certain dialogue, which can be spoken out loud or to oneself. These are something like affirmations, but more sophisticated in that they are not only positive statements, but a removal of negative beliefs.

This "tapping" technique has been effective at treating a wide range of physical and emotional problems. One practitioner, Brad Yates, focuses on using EFT for removing blocks to abundance. By tapping on certain points and repeating key phrases, we quickly come to believe that we truly deserve to be prosperous.
