Palace of Possibilities - Using EFT to achieve one's potential (http://www.emofree.com/palace/palaceof1.htm#3)
The Palace of Possibilities 1--Introduction
I've been itching to write this series for quite awhile. To me, it is an adventure.
And what more exciting adventure could there be than to pursue our possibilities? What greater insight could we (and our clients) have than to realize that the walls that seem to limit us are made of cellophane? For the most part our "limits" are mental fictions. We are, indeed, a few mental shifts away from truly enjoying The Palace of Possibilities in which we live. But then, you already know that, don't you?
This series is a dream of mine. It has been years in the making and I am convinced that, finally, I have an audience (you) that is ready to hear it and is able to put it to use. I feel like an artist who has known for years what he wants to paint and is now ready to apply his brush to the canvas. He knows what he wants to say and his remaining task is to portray it to others. The quality of his painting will reflect the love and compassion he has for both the subject matter and his viewer.
That's what writing this series will be like for me. The only difference is that my paintbrush is a keyboard and the colors & hues are words & metaphors. What a thrill. I can't wait to see what I'm going to write.
I will be sharing my many years of experience in the field of human potential (since 1953--my age 13) and will offer ideas and insights into how we can expand our personal and professional lives. I've been blessed with many talented teachers over the years. This is my chance to put their wisdom together. More recently, some of you have been my teachers. You may see your reflections here as this series unfolds.
EFT, while groundbreaking to me, is but one of many tools I have accumulated. It has been pervasive in my recent pursuits and has been integrated with all that I have developed in the past. You will see that. Innovative ways to integrate EFT with many established cognitive tools will surface in this series. To my knowledge, this will be a first. If previous authors of "you are what you think" books were privileged to have EFT at their disposal, they would have completely rewritten their messages. This series will serve that purpose. It will be a major rewrite of the classic books on this subject.
I think this "book" will be exciting and will take the field of psychotherapy to a new level. Up until now, many psychotherapists have limited their function to lifting people out of their emotional dungeons. This is a vital service, of course, but stops waaaay short of its true potential. Once out of the dungeon, the clients are now free to roam within their personal Palace of Possibilities. This, unfortunately, is where therapist and client tend to part ways. It is where therapy ends and Personal Performance Coaching begins. Our clients have incredible potential and who is better qualified to escort them throughout their Palace of Possibilities than you? Why stop when the client's "dungeon issues" have been fixed? Why turn them loose when you can be a long term advisor and help them expand their financial abundance, enrich their relationships and pursue their possibilities?
And you know what? As you teach your clients about their Palace of Possibilities, you will be teaching yourself about yours. This is a natural function of the teaching process and will serve to launch you beyond your "limits." In the process you will, of course, run the very real risk of being a glowing example of what you are teaching. There is nothing more exciting than turning your possibilities into personal realities.
My aim here is to develop procedures that all of us can use. While these ideas are useful to you and me, my ultimate aim is to have them "Touch the World" and affect the lives of our clients. Through you, I'm hoping they will bring a new level of healing and joy to a world that so clearly needs it.
This has been an introduction. The next two installments, Parts 2 & 3, will help us lay the foundation. After that we will dive right into the "how to's."
Love, Gary
there is more to those articles..but this is the starter!
