New Way of Using TAT for Colds and Flu -- My Holiday Gift to You
Dear TAT Friend,
I'm so excited to share with you a totally new way to get over a cold or the flu. For a week I had super runny eyes, an extremely runny nose and a cough that were hanging on really tight. I hadn’t had a cold or flu like that for years, and friends of mine across the country told me they’d been fighting off the same thing.
I tried TAT for my cold in the usual way and it got a little better, but not a lot better. After another couple days of it, I got the idea of doing TAT for this in a completely new way.
Ending Critical Inner Voices; Heart and Soul of TAT -- Reminder
Dear TAT Friend,
This is a short reminder that you have until midnight tonight EST to register for the Symposium in January at the Earlybird price (there will be another price savings in effect until December 15).
At the Heart and Soul of TAT workshop, January 22 and 23, I'll teach you the underlying principles that are the foundation of TAT and how they manifest as:
- the steps of TAT
- patient interaction
- the dissolution of troubles
- the assimilation of parts
- peace and happiness
You'll be able to do TAT on whatever you want to for yourself along with me as I lead sessions (a minimum of 5 during the workshop), then ask questions both about what you experienced and how I led the session.
Having More Joy This Season; My Personal Holiday Gift to You
Dear TAT Friend,
Hi! I hope you’re warm and cozy (if you’re somewhere that it’s cold outside) and enjoying springtime weather (if you’re down under). Outside, it’s sunny with blue skies and there’s one tree I see with orange and red leaves – I’m feeling cozy and thinking of you.
At this time of year, you may be feeling stressed from past stuff that’s happened with your family – the changing seasons, holiday decorations and music reminding you of things that were said that hurt your feelings. Now with the holidays coming, you’re not too happy about seeing some of the people who hurt you.
TAT for Veterans
Dear TAT Friend,
It’s Veterans Day here in America and I want to let you know what our TATLife staff and community of Certified TAT Professionals and Trainers are working on to help active military personnel, veterans and their families.
Three years ago, a group of five Certified TAT Trainers volunteered their time to work with around 30 veterans for 10 days near Ft. Benning, GA. Both the participants and Trainers were deeply impressed with the difference TAT made for them. You can read some of their stories and watch some videos they made here. The last day, three of the participants told us that they would have ended their lives before long had it not been for the workshop and TAT. We're committed to doing what we can to make TAT available to those in the military and VA.
What we need in order to do that is a study showing the efficacy of TAT. Right now, we're putting the finishing touches on a study proposal to use TAT for combat veterans and stress reduction. The study will use a rigorous scientific model to compare TAT with an intervention already accepted by the military and VA facilities. This should allow us to then take TAT into facilities already working with soldiers, veterans, and their families. The study will cost $195,000.

Connect with Your Inner Strength for Lasting Health -- replay available
Dear TAT Friend,
The Connect with Your Inner Strength for Lasting Health interview was a great success and so much fun! We did TAT together about “whatever we feel we’re afraid we’re stuck with” (like an illness), plus “whatever’s stressing us the most right now”.
We also included thoughts like:
- It's impossible for this to get better.
- I can’t imagine getting over this.
- I feel hopeless about this ever changing.
... and lots more
We made the intention that the healing would include whoever listened to the call later, and that can be you! The replay of the recording is available until midnight Monday night. Just go here to listen.
Connect with your Inner Strength for Lasting Health; "Gotta Love TAT!"
Dear TAT Friend,
Do you have a health condition that gets worse when you're stressed?
Have a condition and been told there's no cure?
Have you gotten a diagnosis that left you scared and worried?
Feeling isolated and lonely with your condition?
It’s easy to fall prey to the negative mind chatter that keeps us down, especially when we have an illness or poor health condition. Just at the time we’d like to create positive imagery and uplifting feelings, we instead find ourselves in whirlpools of negativity. It can feel endless. How do we get out of that mess?
Ending Critical Inner Voices; Heart and Soul of TAT
Dear TAT Friend,
Do critical inner voices keep holding you back?
- “I’m not good enough!”
- “I’m different – I don’t fit in!”
- “I messed up – I can’t forgive myself.”
Do they stop you from being relaxed and feeling at ease?
- “I haven’t worked hard enough.”
- “I’m not enough.”
- “I’m too fat/skinny/young/old/ugly/stupid/uneducated for anyone to like me.”
Do they hold you back from moving ahead in your life with what you really care about?
Simple, Gentle, Powerful; From Impossible to Possible
Dear TAT Friend,
Here’s a sweet email from a friend in Trinidad with a built-in tip for you:
Closing Up My Mom's House; Fear-Be-Gone Teleseminar
Dear TAT Friend,
Woohoo! I closed on my mom's house yesterday, and it felt really good. After leading the Closing Up a Home and Moving On webinar, I felt a new sense of clarity and energy about this transition. I had all the help I needed for getting the house ready, packing everything up, and actually selling it. In fact, once we put it on the market it sold in five days!
A couple of things the buyer wanted changed came up as we got ready for the closing, but they never felt big or unmanageable. When I had any thoughts or feelings come up that didn't feel good, I did TAT about them. I made the usual intention that the TAT was on behalf of everyone involved, which included the buyers, the real estate agents, the inspectors, the bank -- everyone. TAT definitely helped make this a pretty easy process for me.
I cried my last day in the house -- missing my mom, remembering family events and knowing this was the end of this part of my life and our lives together in the house. Then I thanked the house for supporting all of us for all that time -- we'd been there almost 50 years. I asked my mom to be with me. She appeared to me like a big, bright, softly glowing divine motherly angel centered right in my heart. Then I knew I didn't need to be in the house to have her with me and felt good again.
Fear, Be Gone
Dear TAT Friend,
Just this morning, I finally found my way out of an old fear. Have you got one of those hanging around?
- fear of public speaking?
- fear of failure?
- fear of what's next in your life?
- fear of animals?
- fear of the unknown?
- fear of being ridiculed?
I mean fear of anything.
If you'd like it gone, I can't wait to do a little TAT with you and show you a way out.
