Tapping Away Fear with Neuro- Emotional Freedom Technique
Long ago, mapmakers sketched dragons on maps as a sign to sailors that they would be entering unknown territory at their own risk. Some sailors took this sign literally and were afraid to venture on. Others saw the dragons as a sign of opportunity, a door to virgin territory.
Similarly, each of us has a mental map of our complete perception of our universe – complete with dragons. Where does fear hold you back? What dragons can you slay?
Identify one fear in each area below:
- Relationships:
- Health:
- Wealth:
- Other:
Choose one of the above fears you have identified. Hold that fear in your mind.
Start to tap the side of your hand – opposite your thumb, starting at your wrist and going to the base of your little finger. (We call this the “karate chop” point in tapping or Neuro- Emotional Freedom Technique/ N- EFT.) Continue to focus on the feeling of fear in this one area of your life.
State aloud the following statement three times: “Even though I feel this fear about ___________________, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
As you continue to tap on the karate chop point, feel the fear and follow it into memories about the situation of your life around that fear… continue tapping.
Next, go to your upper chest/ rib cage at the base of your neck. Form a loose fist and touch lightly at a point approximately one inch below the base of the throat. From the center, move your fist to one side or the other about two inches. Gently “knock” on this area of your upper ribcage just below your collarbone. (You may knock on both sides or choose one or the other. We call this the “collarbone” point.)
Tap on this collarbone point with your fingertips or this loose fist and focus on the fear and its “story”. You may state one of the following statements aloud, moving from one to another as they feel appropriate:
- “I am feeling this fear about ________________.”
- “I am still feeling some fear about _______________.”
- “I am feeling this other feeling related to fear about_____________.”
- “I choose to clear away this fear about_______________ now!”
- “I choose to let go of all of the old fear around _____________ that has held me back.”
Tap until you feel less fearful about the issue in your mind. You might feel a bit light-headed. This is not a problem. Breathe in deeply. Take a drink of water.
This is a tiny introduction to a very potent meridian tapping modality that I use with personal success coaching clients as well as business executive clients to help them to clear blockages so that they can reach their full potential in life. You will feel the ease of the process and hopefully a shift in your level of fear about the issue you have chosen.

Neuroeconomics: Psychology in Business
Years ago I taught Organizational Behavior classes for several MBA programs. In the classes I taught the psychology behind team-building, leadership development, cooperation with peers, vendors, customers, and much more. For some of us coming from a behaviorist and psychology-based background plus with years of practical business savvy, it made perfect sense to bring basic, natural tenets of how we think and behave into business principles training within an MBA program.
With the new breakthroughs in neurology, psychology has even been introduced into economics, and a number of studies have been done to prove that the mind and its focus on value can influence economics. Attached is a lecture by Drazen Prelec at MIT where he cites three studies that show how our perceptions shape our economies. Having also taught MBA Marketing classes myself, I would add that the marketing surrounding our every waking moment helps to create and mold our perceptions of value.
You may listen to the lecture and read its synopsis by going here. This reminds me that whenever I feel swayed by a strong “belief”, that my belief is only based on my perceptions, and I can change these if I so desire!
Limiting Beliefs Cleared With N- EFT
Limiting Beliefs create so many roadblocks in all areas of receiving abundance in life! Health, Wealth, Love can all be thwarted by inner limiting beliefs.
My experience and training point out that Limiting Beliefs are created on a deep subconscious basis by emotional reactions or emotion-based electro-magnetic charge.
The basis to forming Beliefs can be inherited in one’s DNA, created based on pre-verbal infant perceptions of the surrounding energetics, created as a reaction to trauma or feeling an emotional reaction to an occurrence, story, reaction of another, etc.
I’ve often worked with clients with debilitating physical conditions, who were unable to set “getting healthy” as a top priority goal. In going deeper into the cause of this feeling of “unworthiness to be healthy”, I discovered abuse, trauma, deep cutting inner criticism, among other causes that formed Limiting Beliefs.
Coaching alone cannot go this deep, however I use N- EFT (Neuro- Emotional Freedom Technique) to support my clients and to help them to permanently clear out the blockages that cause their conscious mind to create Limiting Beliefs.
I have several introductory recordings that provide more information about how these energy therapy/ energy psychology tools can benefit you and others. You may access these free recordings at: http://www.arielagroup.com/products/free_products.html.
I’ve seen so many miracles happen in so little time! Feel free to e-mail me with questions at: info@arielagroup.com .
Using EFT is Easier for Changing Beliefs Than Force of Will
In my experience with clients one can only go so far using force of will to shift a belief system. Most beliefs are deeply rooted in the subconscious and based on past emotional reactions that are stored in the body’s electro-magnetic field. The best way to clear the resistance to change and the subconscious blockage holding the old belief in place is to access the electro-magnetic field via the meridian system.
This has been done for thousands of years via acupuncture and now more and more individuals, coaches, therapists, etc. are learning to do this and we teach our clients how to access their own systems to completely and permanently clear out the old resistance and emotional blockages that form the beliefs.
When I find a client who self-sabotages or holds onto limiting beliefs I automatically know that he/she is fighting inner resistance. I introduce Emotional Freedom Technique which is an easy-to-learn meridian-tapping technique that supports the permanent clearing of the emotional resistance so that then the person is free to change his/her beliefs. It works quickly, painlessly, and doesn’t require force of will.
For more information on this technique you may visit my website to listen to a free Intro to EFT or an Intro to EFT for Coaches series. Go to: http://www.arielagroup.com/products/free_products.html or feel free to contact me at: info@arielagroup.com!
I’ve seen physical, mental, emotional miracles happen in one or two sessions using EFT. It is wonderful and I support the clients of other coaches who reach a barrier and need a session or two to clear their blocks… then return to their normal coaching series.
Spirit in Business or Religion in Business?
Until just a few years ago I regularly attended a yearly International Spirit or Consciousness in Business Conference . This was sponsored by several very conscious organizations including The Message Company out of Santa Fe, NM. Twice I attended while the conference was held in Mexico and 600-700 people from all over the world attended. The topics ranged the whole gamut around Spirit/Consciousness in Business and the conference was truly outstanding.
A year after the last official conference another group held a meeting where the topics of Spirit via “Religion in Business” versus “Spirituality in Business” came up and there was quite a discussion of the difference. Of course, nothing was really resolved, as each individual feels spirituality in his/her own way and some see it through the filter of a religion while others see it as a direct connection with the Universe/ Higher Self/ One-ness/ Source, etc.
I feel that as coaches we need to be open to speak the language of our clients as well as respect their filters. Not everyone is open to see Spirituality beyond a religion framework.
The Law of Attraction works for everyone, and I believe we are free to practice our own form of spirituality in our personal and professional lives as long as we allow this freedom to others too.
Tapping to Clear Blocks to Receiving
Today I was driving my little truck along a mountain road and I felt a pull and roughness coming from a brake dragging on the front left side. I’ve experienced this before and usually can get it to release, but today was different. It was very hot outside and that brake was getting hotter and hotter as it dragged and I continued to drive. I kept pulling over and stopping, reversing, and doing whatever else seemed like it might help.
My vehicles have always outwardly shown emotional or psychological issues going on inside of me – don’t laugh – this has been very apparent in my life for many years, and I do pay attention. So, considering this stuck left front brake I asked myself about what in me was resisting being open to receive. The left, YIN, side of the body is the receiving side, and it seems that in the case of my truck… the brake was definitely stuck in the ON position.
I started tapping using N- EFT (Neuro- Emotional Freedom Technique), saying “Even though my truck’s left front brake is stuck on and I may be blocking myself to receive something coming into my life, I deeply & completely love & accept myself.” I didn’t get fancy – just basics to clear some residual fear I have about a transaction I am getting ready to go through that is full of rewards for me if I take a risk.
I had tapped about half of the normal short N- EFT sequence when I slowly drove past an intersection of where two country roads come together. I noticed a truck sitting in an odd place, and since I was driving slowly, I also noticed several small kittens all around the truck.
Something told me to double back – I’ve been open to find a cute kitten for awhile, and I wondered if that truck was dumping a litter on the side of the road. The man in the truck told me that he had stopped to make a cellphone call while he still had reception and found himself surrounded by kittens. They were crawling all over his truck tires trying to get into the vehicle with him.
I picked them up – all three of them – and headed up the hill to a country church on the corner. Nobody was there but somebody had left food and water out for the kittens. I placed them by their food and went back to my truck, however I was not alone. These three were starved for human attention. I wonder if they had been dumped or if they were kittens of a feral female who had been tamed by church members. I’ll never know, however I did realize that there was no escaping these little cuties. Every time I went back to my truck they were close behind, and I was afraid they would get hit in the road, so I realized I was open to receive… and I brought them home with me.
I haven’t yet introduced them to Martin, and I’ve got a busy weekend of playing performances of a musical, so I’m not sure what I will do with the kittens while I am gone every evening, however, for now they are keeping me company and I am thoroughly enjoying the joy they are exhibiting in their playfulness. It has been awhile since I’ve had a kitten, and never three at the same time. Am I ready to receive this level of confusion as well as love and fun in my life? We shall see! 
Oh, and did I mention that I had put it out to the Universe awhile ago that it might be fun to adopt more than one kitten at a time – since in the past I always had several? So, now there are three, and two are currently asleep on my lap! And, after that short tapping session I also feel clearer about the original issue around which I was tapping!
