In 2004, I was exposed to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) at a retreat in Santa Fe.   What fascinated me about this technique was that I could use it on any negative thought, at any time and it didn’t cost me money. That’s empowering!  

What’s Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?  
EFT is based on acupuncture, without the needles.   A self-help technique that works on bringing relief to the intensity of our emotions, as well as increasing our physical wellbeing.    When using this technique you tap on different areas of your face and upper body.

I don’t usually embark on the official spring-cleaning effort, but there are times when I have an urge to clean.  Lately I’ve been thinking about the clutter in my home, how it is blocking my energy and wellbeing.  I believe that things have energy to them and if I’m not interacting in a positive manner with my things, I am creating negative energy.

I decided to create a laundry list of things to go:

Today is an important day in the US – September 11th.  I remembered seven years ago being on Broadway and 21st Street in New York City standing in one place watching the bellowing smoke coming from the Towers.   Everyone around me was so quiet!   When I looked around, I saw the dazed looks on everyone’s faces.  No one knew just how historic this moment would be in each of our lives and the lives of those directly impacted by this horrific act.
