Dear Lovely Friend,

Happy New Year!

A couple of weeks ago, something was bugging me and I just felt like whining and complaining about it. Usually, I try not to whine or complain because I never see any good coming out of it…until that day. It dawned on me that I could whine and complain with all the gusto I wanted, write down my unedited expressions and then (as if you hadn’t guessed) do TAT about the whole bundle. So that’s what I did. Oh man, that was so liberating: I no longer resonated or identified with any of it and felt so free free free. All of that nasty griping turned into emotional and spiritual gold. And that’s my New Year’s gift to you: unlimited piles of inner gold transformed from the worst thoughts and feelings.

Just make a list of all your complaints and download the free How to Do TAT booklet. As you do the TAT Steps, the word “this” in each statement will refer to your whole list. (We call this “making a bundle” or “throwing everything into the pot”.)

For Step One, use this statement instead:

Everything that led up to my resonating, identifying and connecting with this happened.

For Step Two, use this statement instead:

All that happened, it’s over and I no longer resonate, identify or connect with this.

Then do the rest of the Steps as they are in the free booklet.

Yep, that rainbow’s end is in you and the always-full pot of gold, too.

OK. Holidays are over, the new year has started and if losing weight and keeping it off or healing a physical condition are up for you this year, here’s what I have for you:

TAT^® for Lasting Weight Loss Teleseminar
—————-
Our Eight-Session Program

In each session, we’ll each put whatever is stressing us most into the “pot” along with the subject of the session. That way, our individual current troubles will become less as we also move into greater health. We’ll put in any “stopper” thoughts that keep the healing from happening (thoughts that stop things from progressing like “this is impossible”, “it can’t work for me”, “I’m stuck with this problem forever and it will never change”, “this will work for everyone else but not for me”). We’ll also put in our current trigger for over-eating.

In most of our sessions, we’ll do some writing in silence. We’ll always be doing TAT together on behalf of ourselves and each other. There’s a palpable field of connection and the transformative power and peace that happens when we do TAT together. We typically feel delivered into a profound state of deep inner silence and peace. I also sense myself in what feels like an infinite pool of grace and immediately available creative potential – able to effortlessly experience sublime feelings and thoughts, a life of fulfillment and inner and outer beauty. It’s spiritually yummy.

We have a few spots left and we start on the 5th of January, so you have just a few days to join us. We keep our registration small enough so that your personal comments are heard. Click here to register now .

I love that I get to teach how to easily get there so that you can create the healthy, beautiful body you want and effortlessly maintain the weight you’d like. Thinking of the pleasure of working together soon is making me smile.

Did you know that the NIH (National Institutes of Health) has given Kaiser Permanente a $2.1 million dollar grant to study 500 people in TAT research for a second time? They want to see if it’s really as effective as it was in the first study for maintaining weight loss. "The Tapas Acupressure Technique did show superiority in helping people maintain weight loss in a pilot study involving 90 participants," said Charles Elder, MD, principal investigator and an internal medicine physician at Kaiser Permanente Northwest.

Once you learn how to do TAT, the value stays with you for your whole life. You can use it anytime. The teleseminar gives you hands-on experience that’s yours to keep and I’ve never known healing that happens with TAT to need to be done over. Once you do it, it’s a done deal. We have limited spots, so please sign up now to reserve your place.

I attended Tapas’s workshop in Chantilly, VA in April 2007 on The Pleasure of Weight Loss. During the workshop we all chose something to work on. I chose to release my chocolate craving and my avoidance of exercise. I had a medical check up in September and found I had lost 11 pounds.

I was not obese to begin with, but I wanted to lose 10 pounds and become healthier. After doing all steps of TAT for “My chocolate craving”, remembering the 6 layer chocolate fudge cake I had had at lunch, and “I don’t want to exercise”, I came home and hired a personal trainer and joined a gym. I have been exercising for 6 months and loving it. I have lost 11 pounds and dropped to a size 10. It will be interesting to see where my body goes. Also, I enjoy chocolate on occasion but have no craving or need for it.

TAT Professional and Trainer

Here are some of the issues we’ll be focusing on during the sessions:

• Everything that makes it seem impossible to lose and maintain weight loss effortlessly.
• My triggers for over-eating, including thoughts, emotions, relationship conditions, fears, stresses, feelings of isolation, being over-tired, etc.
• The most influential genetic influence in this condition. Conversation with ancestors. Ancestors’ conversation with others in their time.
• I’m out of control in regards to food and eating and out of connection and communication with my body and life.
• Having a conversation with the overweight cells. Asking for information to help healing. Being open to feelings, thoughts, sounds, colors, weight, density, pictures and events associated with the condition. Any “stoppers” about why you can’t do this.

(I did the conversation when I was working with cancer and it made an immediate huge change – I felt a 15 foot blast of energy from my body across my kitchen, broke out in a hot sweat, and had a vision of my immune cells eating the cancer cells. I’ll love showing you how to do it for yourself with your overweight cells.)

Miracles are still pouring in. TAT works for so many varied issues. I taught my aunt of 93 TAT and her eye is better! I actually kept off sweets in a situation when it would have been very difficult. I actually felt a yech feeling at the sight of a chocolate bar. That has never happened before!

Our Eight-Session Program to Better Health

In each session, we’ll each put whatever is stressing us most into the “pot” along with the subject of the session. That way, our individual current troubles will become less as we also move into greater health. We’ll also put in any “stopper” thoughts that keep the healing from happening (thoughts that stop things from progressing like “this is impossible”, “it can’t work for me”, “this condition is too serious”, “TAT only works on emotional stuff”).

In most of our sessions, we’ll do some writing in silence. We’ll work on behalf of ourselves and each other during all our sessions.

As you may know, I used TAT a lot to help transform an advanced stage of cancer in myself (it was big and had metastasized) into non-existence. (My doctor said she’d never seen anything like it and that I should be written up in medical books.) It’s a real pleasure to get to share approaches with you that were valuable in my path. I like knowing that you’ll have this knowledge and experience to help you for the rest of your life whenever you want it.

We have just a few places left, please click here to reserve your place in this valuable course.

Here are some of the issues we’ll cover in the sessions:

• Everything that makes it seem impossible for this condition to ever completely heal.
• The moment I received the diagnosis (or discovered this condition).
• What other people told me about this condition is true.
• Having a conversation with the condition. Asking for information to help healing. Being open to feelings, thoughts, sounds, colors, weight, density, pictures and events associated with the condition. Any “stoppers” about why you can’t do this.
• This condition (or the part of my body affected by it) is out of connection and communication with the rest of my body and life.

For two mornings I have awakened with a headache, pain and discomfort in my neck, shoulders and upper back, and an overall feeling of being pressed into a tiny knot. I drank two cups of tea, which will normally give me relief in such conditions. However it was not working the second day. Around noon, I’d had enough and remembered TAT.

[Ed. Note: She then did TAT.]

About five minutes later, I was walking down the hall and stopped with the thought, “Can this be??? No! I’ll not go there and just leave it alone.” Half an hour later I realized I was completely free of any discomfort and had a very energetic, uplifting attitude. The next day I was still free!!

Beth in Ashton, Idaho

I’ve seen a boy heal from a corn allergy in one session, had a woman write me about helping her neighbor heal from MS, had a book written that includes a chapter on how TAT helped a woman heal from environmental allergies, had a man in a workshop quit needing glasses, and more. It’s amazing and I’m grateful that this came to me to share with you. You can read more personal stories here if you’d like.

The potency of it still captivates my heart and makes me feel humble in the grace and power that routinely arrive when a person does TAT. If you’d like to share the experience, sign up now . It will be my pleasure to teach you if you join us.

Dear Friends,

Birds are chirping and the moist, afternoon clouds are slowly rolling in from the big, blue Pacific Ocean.

Here’s a question we received in an email followed by my reply:

When treating allergies I do not always get a good result (for example hay fever or wheat). Is it necessary to repeat TAT for an allergen several times and if so, do you use the same wording?

Reply:

Here are some big picture areas to focus on using TAT to heal. Even though the specifics given below relate to allergies, these general approaches will work for any problem.

Life Events
When you’re treating yourself for allergies, it’s usually best to concurrently heal big life traumas (deaths of loved ones, accidents, heartbreaks, etc.). This will strengthen your overall immune system by decreasing your stress level. Following this approach and those listed below, I haven’t found it necessary to repeat TAT for an allergen using the same wording.

Beliefs
You’ll also be helped by noticing if you have any global beliefs that your body might be manifesting as allergies. For example, a belief like, “I’m allergic to life”, “I can’t protect myself”, or “Life is too much for me” can be like living in an unprotected home where anyone can enter and even friends can end up making trouble. What would be perceived by other people’s bodies as a “friend” (like wheat) has entered and is making trouble for you.

Here’s another way to picture this: imagine uploading a video (a belief) onto your website (your body). You could now download that same video onto your computer, phone or ipod. In the same way, our beliefs automatically set up our personal reality. We then receive evidence (downloads) of these beliefs in different forms: reoccurring similar thoughts, emotions, cellular chemistry (including allergic reactions), and life situations. These are some of the various forms in which we encounter our underlying beliefs. Once you clear up these limiting global beliefs, allergies can be cleared up, too.

See if you have any limiting beliefs like “TAT can only work for emotional healing — allergies are ‘real’ so this won’t work.” Usually, just being in the TAT pose with your attention on a simple belief that’s not deeply rooted, and then putting your attention on the opposite condition, is enough to clear away the belief and open the pathway for healing. You’d be surprised - although these beliefs are so flimsy that they seem hardly worth noticing, they can dam up the flow of your healing energy.

Dedication
Are you remembering to make the initial dedication before you begin your healing work? (It’s at the beginning of the How to do TAT download at the website.) Including your ancestors in your healing work is powerful — you’re not only doing healing for yourself, but for many who came before you. Feeling the deep connection with your ancestors and their heartfelt appreciation for your healing on their behalf can be a profound, sublime resonance.

Visualizations
While you’re healing physical conditions (such as allergies), it’s good to take a minute or so each day and, in the TAT pose, visualize yourself in the condition you want to attain. In your visualization, see and feel yourself in the healed condition now. Hear yourself, silently or aloud, telling yourself how you are now, in your radiant healed condition.

Most Influential Allergens
Doing TAT several times over the course of the healing (possibly 10 or more) to dissolve the most influential allergen is often a good support to your overall healing program. You’d do TAT with your attention on The Problem (Step One) as “The most influential allergen” and The Opposite (Step Two) as “My body is fine with this (allergen)” or whatever statement you choose that is the opposite condition of being stuck in the allergic condition. Then do the rest of the Steps. Each time you heal your relationship with a particular allergen, the next most influential allergen is the one your body will then address; the ones you’ve cleared are gone from your plate and the next one will automatically appear. You don’t need to be conscious of what these allergens are; you just need to make the intention that you’re now working on the current “most influential” one.

Give Your Healing Time
Sometimes, people read or hear TAT stories about a grand and complete healing that happens in one session. Healing with TAT can be that fast and easy. It is also normal for healings to be complete after using TAT with several approaches. When cancer was present in my body, I did TAT around 100 different times over several months. All this being said, no healing modality is guaranteed to work for everyone, in every instance. But TAT has a very impressive track record over the past 13 years.

Here is a story that beautifully illustrates healing allergies with TAT. This was sent to me by Bronia Fuchs-Willig, our newest TAT Professional.

My very dear Tapas,

This is a red letter day for me! I have just confirmed that I am cured of an allergy from which I have suffered from over 30 years!

It all happened yesterday. I was invited to the coast with a friend and her two children and accepted with delight, which soon turned to horror as I opened the door of their car to get in. There before me was their sweet but very long-haired dog whom they had taken along.

I have been allergic to these animals since about 1974, and am no longer in their company for more than a minute when my eyes flare up, get red and itchy, my nose starts running and I can’t breathe properly. So I got in, resigned to taking out my allergy tablets within the next minute or so.

I should say, however, that a few months earlier, sitting on the very beach we were off to visit, I had done a few TAT sessions on myself for a number of allergies from which I have suffered for many years; among these were a session on the probable cause of my allergy to dog hair (the death of my father) and then one on the allergy itself. I hadn’t thought about it since then and hadn’t had any opportunity to test the results of the process.

Well, yesterday, we set off, chatting as we drove, and ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER, I suddenly realised that I HAD NOT HAD ONE SINGLE ALLERGIC REACTION to the dog (Mickey!), despite the fact that, not only was he sitting right behind me all the while, but also that I was sitting on his usual seat, right amidst the inevitable dog hair everywhere! Unbelievable! The whole trip there took 2 hours 30 minutes and NOTHING.

Oddly enough, when we arrived at the beach and got out of the car, my nose started to twitch uncomfortably and, by the time we had sat down at the outdoor restaurant for lunch, I was in the middle of a horrendous, full-blown allergy attack, with my eyes swollen and teary. I hadn’t any idea what could be causing it sitting out there in the open, (it definitely wasn’t plants or anything) and still don’t know, but I dived into my bag for the allergy pills. I put them on the table in front of me, but I just couldn’t give up without knowing whether TAT would have helped me. So I didn’t take them. I discreetly took the pose and did the 3-step process (I had done TAT on my friends, so they took no notice of me), and, lo and behold, the allergy attack stopped in its tracks, my eyes calmed down and I wasn’t bothered again at all!

That evening we drove back in the same way, 2 1/2 hours again, and NOTHING!

So I now consider myself free of that allergy in the most amazing way and am so relieved and grateful to you and TAT for setting me free. (It’s so embarrassing having to steer clear of friends’ dogs all the time and even worse when you have a dog next to you on a long train trip, for example).

I should also add, that, to all intents and purposes, I am pretty well free of the other allergies I’ve treated, cosmetics and pollen, in particular. I now need to do a session on fruit allergy, which I shall hasten to do.

I couldn’t wait to let you know the good news - I can hardly believe it myself. And long live the 3-step process which was such a wonderful help to me yesterday! It would have been impossible to do the 9 steps in that situation.

All my love and blessings,

Bronia

Thank you, Bronia.

Bronia felt that her allergy was related to her father’s death, so she did TAT about it. You don’t have to have any idea about the origins of an allergy to do the things I’ve written about here.

To get the most benefit from TAT, please also study the Workshop 2000 (available as a CD, DVD, or mp3 audio download), the Allergies and Traumas DVD (also available as an mp4 video download), and the Healing the Emotional Aspects of Cancer DVD and booklet. By studying these, you’ll get a wider and more in-depth understanding of how to heal physical illness (and emotional troubles) with TAT. The Healing the Emotional Aspects of Cancer DVD is full of detailed approaches you can use in healing the emotional roots of any physical illness and will give you lots of practical information applicable to allergy healing. You’ll learn how to use dreams to help yourself heal and how to communicate with cells to find out what your body needs to be healthier.

Love and best wishes for your happiness,
Tapas

Dear Friends,

The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) holds a fun, enriching conference for people interested in leading-edge and ancient traditions in mind-body healing. The folks who come together for this conference love to share their innovations from their work helping people reach wholeness and happiness. They’re bright, open, inquisitive and funny – I look forward to this conference every year. This year’s conference, “Intention, Transformation and Change”, will be held Thursday, May 28 – Sunday, May 31 in Orlando, Florida.

Lucky for me, they like to have me teach at the conference. On May 28, I’ll teach a pre-conference workshop on “The Power of Community Intention with TAT”. Since experiencing the power of TAT in groups, this approach has become a focus in our workshops. The intention is made that everyone works on their own behalf and on behalf of everyone else in the group, their families, their ancestors, and everyone who would like to benefit from the healing. Each person contributes a meaningful issue – it could be anything: a stressful situation, a wish for an abundant life, a vision of a peaceful world – to a collective bundle, or pot. Because isolation is a hallmark of trauma and it is unresolved traumas that keep us stuck in a place of lack of fulfillment, being connected in this way is itself incredibly healing.

The transformative power of the group doing TAT on each other”s behalf is so huge – it”s like having the power of Niagara Falls (or any big waterfall) gently wash away your troubles…and ending up in the refreshing pool of water at the base of the falls, feeling peaceful, happy, invigorated and connected with a group of close friends.

On Saturday, May 30, from 2:30-4:15, I”ll teach a breakout session on “Healing Family and Intimate Relationship Traumas with TAT.” This will also be a highly experiential workshop using the group dynamic. We”ll create richer, more fulfilling and connected lives with our family and in other close relationships.

I’d love to see you at the pre-conference workshop and at the ACEP conference – I think you”ll have a great time. Don’t forget to leave some time for Disney World if you want.

Here is an email I just received that I think you’d like to read:

Dear Tapas,

Thank you for providing this amazing gift of healing.

I have used TAT for about 4 years to bring myself out of ME/CFS [Myalgic Encephaloyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome], depression, FM [fibromyalgia], and a plethora of mental/emotional ills. There is an ever-increasing beautiful joy that is revealing itself within. My relationship with my husband grows more beautiful everyday.

I practice TAT at least 2 times a day, morning and evening. If I use up my 20 minutes, I do it mentally during the day, with success. Even the words “Everything that contributed to this” said mentally, without the pose, now bring relief.

Seasonal Allergies

We are in Arizona and the desert trees and bushes are blooming profusely. We go for drives in the desert to see the flowers 2-3 times a week. I rarely have an allergic reaction to the flowers. One day I woke up with an itchy, runny, sneezing nose and quickly developed a red raw nose from trying to catch all the drips! It actually took me the whole day of this before I remembered I could use TAT! That night I TATed:

Everything that contributed to this allergic reaction to the Palo Verde tree happened. (This is the plant that came to mind). It is over, the Palo Verde and I get along fabulously and we have a great relationship. I enjoy its beautiful blooms and scent. This healing is completely integrated now and I am so grateful.

Then I did one more:

Everything else that contributed to this allergic reaction, including dust (the wind had been blowing mightily), all the blooming flowers, bushes and trees happened. This reaction is over and we get along fabulously. I enjoy all of this easily and with joy and I am so grateful.

All the symptoms stopped in their tracks and much to my surprise, I slept like a baby that night. When I woke up the next day, NO runny, itchy, tickling nose! And it has stayed that way. We even got stuck on the road for an hour when a semi got stuck on a bridge. We were surrounded by a desert forest of blooming plants and still no reaction. Wow.

Wheat grass juice and the grumpies.

I just started growing and juicing wheat grass and I am amazed how good I feel, how my mind becomes clearer and I have lots of energy, even for an old coot. But I noticed I was having very dark and negative thoughts. I did my usual TAT and no change. I did EFT and no change. Then it occurred to me - what if this is an allergic reaction to the wheat grass? It seems this darkness started about the same time I started juicing. So I muscle-tested myself and got yes. Was it some pesticide, etc. on the wheat berries? No. Was the reaction to wheat, the grass and the juice? Yes.

So I did TAT for a general reaction and not the thoughts or emotions.

Everything that contributed to this reaction to the wheat berries, the grass and the juice happened. It happened, it is over, I am OK and wheat grass, berries and juice and I get along fine now. This healing is completely integrated now and I am so grateful. This cleared 50% of the dark thoughts and feelings.

Then it occurred to me what I was feeling was no more than something blocking the Light. Like a boulder blocks the stream. So I did:

Everything that contributed to my creating, identifying with, resonating with, and connecting to this blockage to the Light happened. Then I did the rest of the 9 steps.

The Light is flowing again. Whew! I am so grateful. There is more to do, of course. This is an eternal process of unfoldment.

To have TAT as available as my breath and heartbeat fills me with gratitude, wonder and awe.

Thank you,
Diane

Clearing allergies was what I had in mind when I first developed TAT. It was only later that I realized TAT could be used for clearing traumas and negative beliefs, the emotional aspect of physical conditions, etc.

In her story, Diane gives some wonderful examples of using TAT for allergies. If you’d like to learn more about how to use TAT for your own allergies, we have several recordings that can help you with that.

My primary recommendation is the Healing Allergies with TAT audio recording. Many times allergies clear with one session, as Diane describes. With other allergies, it may take doing TAT using several different approaches. This recording gives you many different ways to work with your allergies with TAT. The first CD is a recording of a teleconference I did on using TAT with allergies. The second CD is a recording of a conference call I had with people who had already listened to the first CD. The callers asked very specific questions about using TAT for situations like allergies with very young children, systemic yeast, and diabetes.

In the Healing Traumas and Allergies DVD, I teach you how to use TAT to end allergic reactions and release traumatic stress. The new TAT allergy protocol shown here can successfully treat EI (Environmental Illness), MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivities), and Chronic Fatigue symptoms. You’ll also learn the basics of Traditional Chinese Medicine as it relates to traumatic stress and allergies and hear informative and sometimes moving testimonials. Both of these recordings are available as downloads.

I’ve heard from so many people that they’re now living freer, happier lives after clearing their allergies with TAT. With that in mind, I wish you a healthy and pleasurable Spring (or Autumn).

Love,
Tapas
