What if there are mindset shifts that you can make to raise wealth attraction for your solopreneur business?
As a life coach, energy healer or solopreneur, your desire is find fulfilment through doing what you love, creating an impact, and making money from offering your service. Very importantly, you would like to have the ability to generate an income that is more than your expenses, thus making your business profitable. Also, you want to have high energy levels, so that you can best serve your clients.
However, especially where you are just starting out, doing a business can be challenging. It can get overwhelming when you are managing every task on your own, anything from doing sales to admin support. You also need to keep a watch on your expenses, so that you can account for every dollar that you spend. Where you are not able to cope due to insufficient resources, stress can set in.
Well, what would help is applying the right mindset with an understanding about how the Law of Attraction works.
Allow me to explain.
Why you’d be interested to leverage on the Law of Attraction is this: you want to take the struggle out of doing your business.
When you are feeling frustrated, anxious or stressed out, you are in resistance. Struggle happens when you are feeling negative about yourself, your business or life. Your ability to attract financial abundance decreases as a result. It is when you find yourself unable to attract ideal clients, doing a lot but getting very little in return and facing the uphill task of getting your business from survival to thriving.
On the other hand, when you are in the flow, feeling positive and at ease, you are in better alignment with the universal law. Since nothing is in your way, you are in wellness and able to show up fully in your business. As a result, you manifest the outcomes that you want a lot more easily…yayyy!!
According to the Law of Attraction, like attracts like. Hence, you’d want your business to vibrate at a frequency level that matches abundance. The energy of abundance is one that feels expansive, full and of unlimited potential.
Your wealth attraction ability rises.
What’s more, since you are offering a service, it is imperative that you serve your customers from a positive space than one that resonates in lack and limitation.
Lifting your state of being or vibrational frequency starts with aligning your thoughts and feelings with abundance. When you are in lack, you are thinking thoughts like “I don’t have enough”, “there is not enough to go round” or “life is hard”. With thoughts like these, you invariably feel low, frustrated, and disappointed.
However, if you have thoughts like “I am enough”, “life is happening for me” and choose to see the miracles in your life, you would feel a sense of fullness, anticipation and joy. Thus, raising your vibrational state. It not only benefits you but also, your business.
What are specific ways of aligning your thoughts and feelings, so that you can lift the vibrational state of your business?
Let me share some great mindset shifts that you can make. They were ones that I had personally applied to grow my coaching business. I have been very happy since 🙂
Mindset Shift #1 for Wealth Attraction
When you make a purchase that supports another small business today, don’t see it as an “expense”, “cost” or “wasted” item. You are helping them pay for their kids’ university fees, rent or electricity. Bless them instead of thinking them as “draining” you of your money. Have the perspective that money is a blessing for their dreams, as much as it is for you.
Mindset Shift #2 for Wealth Attraction
Whether you are the client or the service provider, always be thankful for the relationship. Let them know how thankful you are and how much you value the connection. Send them a note of thanks, “hey there, it’s my privilege to work with you”. Give thanks and you’d receive thanks.
Mindset Shift #3 for Wealth Attraction
Be open and willing to bless others with kind positive feedback online. If you’d like others to say nice things about you and to recommend your services, be willing to do the same for others too.
Mindset Shift #4 for Wealth Attraction
When making a business payment that is making you feel nervous, think of it as an “investment” rather than a “cost” or “expense”. By viewing it as an investment, you are expecting that the returns will be multi-fold.
Mindset Shift #5 for Wealth Attraction
Make a donation to a charity or someone in need from your business account, no matter how little sales you are making. What matters more is not how much you give but the thought and intention that goes behind your gift. When you are generous, you are saying that there is always more from where it came from and that you are not in lack.
Mindset Shift #6 for Wealth Attraction
For whatever outflow, imagine your business bank account being filled again easily and more. Believe that you are worthy and visualise abundant flow from the Bank of the Universe into your business.
Mindset Shift #7 for Wealth Attraction
Thank ALL the people who has supported you in order for you to do this business. Even the cleaners, trash collectors, virtual assistants and so on. “Thank you for supporting me. May abundance and blessings come back to you in return.”
Begin with making mindset shifts to one that is of gratitude, blessings and generosity.
Start believing and feeling you are abundant and worthy of it.
If you have problems in believing and feeling abundant or that you are deserving of abundance, contact me for assistance.
Let’s work on lifting your state, so that you can manifest twice as much with working less and in half the time!
Say yes to attracting wealth into the business that you love!
Love and abundance always,

Have you ever wondered how you can let go of past trauma, so that it no longer holds you back from creating the life that you want in the future?
Living with past trauma as if it is still present, can keep you in repetitive patterns.
Your body remembers the past trauma too and it is likely the reason why you find yourself having the same emotional reactions as if the past is happening now.
The same state of paralysis, anxiety and fear.
The same chills in your body, heart racing and churning in your stomach.
By being caught in the past, you can find life a struggle in the present.
You’ve got dreams and goals that you wish to fulfil. Maybe it is to align with your highest potential, to have the best relationship with your spouse ever, to run a thriving business or to manifest the most amazing life ever. Whatever it is, holding on past trauma can limit your chances of success. As a result, you could be feeling bitter, disappointed and helpless, You have the belief that there is nothing you can do to erase the past and to change your destiny.
I’d like to qualify. The traumas you’ve encountered might not have been big major events to begin with. Note that what feels traumatic for one person may not be the same for another. It might have been an incident such as being ostracised by your friends when you were in play school or being criticised for being “not good enough”. Notwithstanding, they were certainly instances that had left an indelible imprint on your subconscious.
Well, in case you consider your future ruined due to an unhappy past, there is hope. I’d like to share how it is very possible to let go of past trauma and to rewrite the story of an unhappy childhood. When you do so, it opens up new possibilities for you in manifesting a more empowering set of outcomes.

When I started my journey as an energy healer and an abundance coach, it became pretty obvious to me that I have a fear of rejection.
More than once, I was shamed, ridiculed and told that I was doing something wrong. Whether it was about energy healing, helping others with emotional release or sharing about the Law of Attraction. It did not matter to the critics. In the beginning, I took such comments personally.
It’s even ridiculous, come to think of it. These friends had formed their judgments even though they hardly knew about my work, the research I had done or about the empirical evidence I had gathered. There was little attempt to understand these. No questions were asked.
But would it have made a difference?
You may be wondering….
Why does it even matter to be aware about what the difference between anxiety, fear or stress is?
Well, for a start, it matters because the more you can make a distinction, the less grip they may have on you.
You can potentially be able to release the appropriate energy and also, apply a more specific belief or targeted action that addresses what’s truly going on with you.
As much as they are related or similar, there are definitely subtle differences between feeling anxious, panicking, and being frozen by fear.
Making a distinction addresses the gap that brings about a shift at a deeper layer. In other words, when you integrate the positive belief that addresses where the specific issue lies, you can potentially be free of your anxiety, fear or stress. You solve the mystery for integration into wholeness, in other words.
Admittedly, most of us do not make any distinction between the terms used. We tend to lump negative emotional states into one broad word “stress”. It’s just convenient to use “stress”. In fact, “stress” is often used by those who are unwilling to face their vulnerability and to avoid digging deeper. It is much easier to say that you are stressed than to say that you are anxious or depressed, if you wish to avoid questions from others.
However, if you are a coach or healer offering emotional therapy services like myself or if you are someone who’s keen to explore your emotional layers, then you may just want to read on to understand more. Continue reading
Do you often say to yourself “I feel stupid”, “I am dumb” or “I am so slow”…even though a part of you knows that this can’t be true?
Do you feel stupid and slow because you can’t do Math, handle numbers or once had poor exam scores (even though you have graduated years and years ago)?
Because you believe that you are “stupid”, “slow” or “dumb”, do you then tell yourself that you are “not capable”, “good enough” or “such a failure in life”?
If you have answered “yes” to the above questions, you probably go into anxiety whenever your mind spins the negative story of “I feel stupid/slow/dumb”.
Continue readingIn the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?” Buddha
It can sound morbid but these 3 questions could be what we think of when we are on our deathbed. Imagine being on our deathbeds and regretting that we did not live our lives in line with our priorities. Hence, rather than wait till near the end, let’s think about what things are important to us – today!
Most certainly, reflecting over this quote got me thinking about the vision that I’d like to create, how I’d like to live my life and what to focus on. I first came across the 3 questions some 10 years ago and since then, answering them have had a big impact on the choices I have made. For instance, I would not have placed that much attention on releasing emotional baggage so much so that I help others with this now, nor would have spent time on being present with the people I love and care about.
With this, I’d like to invite you to reflect on the questions coz they could similarly have an impact on you. I found that the 3 main questions led to further questions for consideration…
Did you love unconditionally, without judgment and blame?
Did you love despite your partner saying something harsh to you? Were you present with your loved ones?
Did you touch others in both small and big ways?
How committed were you to improving your relationships?
Were you there for your loved ones whenever they needed support, or were you busy all the time with your own activities?
Did you schedule time for the loves you love?
How well you love others is also influenced by how well you love yourself. For most of us, we are our greatest enemy. We tend to be our harshest critic. Very often, the stories that we tell about ourselves are negative, limiting and debilitating. We become depleted when our tank becomes empty.
On the contrary, when our tank is full and we are feeling loved and nourished from the inside, we are likely to find an increased capacity to love others. We are better able to empathise. We are able to love more deeply.
And so, if you go through life without experiencing self-love, you’d have missed out on the “greatest love of all”. How well did you love as one of the 3 most important questions to ask lets you in that you are capable of loving well. You begin to see that there are more opportunities to love in bigger and better ways. You love yourself and you love others – from the center of your heart.
Did you pursue your vision/dreams/ideas relentlessly?
Did you do all the things that you said that you wanted to do?
Were you fully present?
Did you live with purpose?
Did you do all that it took to manifest your dream? What was your effort like?
How many items on your bucket list did you check off?
I believe that the greatest tragedy is to die with regrets. You leave this life, regretting that you did not value the opportunities that were available. It has been said that when you about to die, the ghosts of all your unfulfilled dreams or potential will appear.
They are unhappy with you and asking “why did you not pursue the dreams that you have? The ideas were handed out to you and you did not take action. We will now have to go to the grave with you!”
A reader who had read my post on going to the grave with ideas left unpursued, said that it hit her hard. Similarly, Wayne Dyer once said, don’t die with your music still inside you. Should reading this jolt you too, it’s time to get cracking on manifesting your ideas into fruition!
Did you release your emotional baggage as much as you could?
Did you forgive unconditionally?
Did you let go of the things you cannot control or did you always need to be in control?
Were you able to let go of the hurts and pain that someone inflicted on you?
How committed were you in letting go of the past or were you always waiting for the perfect time?
To let go is to release all that no longer serves you.
It can sound like a paradox…to live fully and to let go at the same time. At first, I was confused: does this mean that we let go of our desires too? As I began to reflect, I reached a deeper understanding…
Living fully and letting go does not mean that we let go of our goals and dreams. On the contrary, we should still pursue them. We cannot deny our human desires, and there are things in life that we’d like to have, dreams that we would like to strive for. Our desires fuel us, and we feel motivated to work towards our goals.
While on this journey, we work on letting go of our blocks, beliefs and stuff that do not serve us. To carry them will only slow us down or prevent us from achieving success. We free ourselves from the burdens that hold us back from living our best life!
How well did you love?
How fully did you live?
How deeply did you let go?
These 3 questions lie at the heart of living a spiritual life. The things that matter most are not material possessions or how big your bank account is. Don’t get me wrong. They are likely to be important as they can affect your standard of living. But of greatest importance is whether you have truly loved, lived and let go. These 3 considerations potentially drives your vision, purpose and all that you do in priority.
If you’d like to live a life that matters, think about these 3 important questions today. Share your thoughts, comments and takeaways in the comment section below. I’d love to read them!

Reading The Body Keeps the Score, the best-selling book by Bessel Van der Kolk, could potentially help you to understand why you would want to explore EFT tapping (or the Emotional Freedom Technique) for releasing stress or trauma, if you haven’t already done so.
I was delighted to find how much The Body Keeps the Score supports the case for EFT tapping. The book is a treasure trove of research, stories and case studies. While the author’s work is mainly based on those who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders, his recommendations are applicable for us all since we are governed by the same fight-flight-freeze stress response.
Bessel van der Kolk is a Boston-based psychiatrist who has worked with a wide range of clients, from veterans to sexual assault survivors. The Body Keeps the Score reveals how trauma is stored in the body and that, for therapy to be effective, it needs to take the physiological changes that occur into account. He talks about how talk therapy alone is not adequate for dealing with trauma and shows us the studies to support this.
“Psychologists usually try to help people use insight and understanding to manage their behavior. However, neuroscience research shows that very few psychological problems are the result of defects in understanding; most originate in pressures from deeper regions in the brain that drive our perception and attention. When the alarm bell of the emotional brain keeps signaling that you are in danger, no amount of insight will silence it.”
Bessel says that for survivors of sexual assault and other big traumas, the amygdala, which initiates the body’s fight, flight or freeze response system whenever it perceives danger, can remain activated long after the threat has subsided. Their brains are unable to discern that the fragmented images, sounds and emotion belong to the past. And so, in the present, the survivors relive their traumas.
“To people who are reliving a trauma, nothing makes sense; they are trapped in a life-or-death situation, a state of paralyzing fear or blind rage. Mind and body are constantly aroused, as if they are in imminent danger. They startle in response to the slightest noises and are frustrated by small irritations. Their sleep is chronically disturbed, and food often loses its sensual pleasures. This in turn can trigger desperate attempts to shut those feelings down by freezing and dissociation.”
“Nobody can ‘treat’ a war, or abuse, rape, molestation, or any other horrendous event, for that matter; what has happened cannot be undone. But what can be dealt with are the imprints of the trauma on body, mind, and soul: the crushing sensations in your chest that you may label as anxiety or depression; the fear of losing control; always being on alert for danger or rejection; the self-loathing; the nightmares and flashbacks; the fog that keeps you from staying on task and from engaging fully in what you are doing; being unable to fully open your heart to another human being.”
Although his work mostly centers on working with clients suffering with extreme trauma, it has relevance for us all. After all, stress and “relatively smaller traumas” affect everyone. And often enough, we have reacted in the same manner of fight, flight or freeze to our perceived threats. If we see ourselves as interconnected, then we all in this together.
I was shocked to read the stats that Bessel reports about the US population:
It is startling to find out how “trauma” is more prevalent than what I had realised. This could mean that we pretty much live in the past, if we have not found a way to resolve it.
“Trauma affects the entire human organism—body, mind, and brain. In PTSD the body continues to defend against a threat that belongs to the past.”
The Body Keeps the Score makes it clear that the period where we form our first attachments as vital to building our core resilience in dealing with stress for the rest of our life. Not just trauma, so long as we have experienced some form of stress in the past and it remains unresolved, it can continue to haunt us.
“If your parents’ faces never lit up when they looked at you, it’s hard to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished.”
Family disturbance or generalised neglect cause us to be on high alert, our stressed bodies tuned to fight or flight from a young age. And as children, if we can’t fight or flee, we go into freeze or collapse. We would then carry the same responses to perceived threats in our bodies, resulting in illnesses or emotional issues years later.
“Over the years our research team has repeatedly found that chronic emotional abuse and neglect can be just as devastating as physical abuse and sexual molestation. Sherry turned out to be a living example of these findings: Not being seen, not being known, and having nowhere to turn to feel safe is devastating at any age, but it is particularly destructive for young children, who are still trying to find their place in the world.”
Fortunately, Bessel has discovered that traumatic stress can be treated by mindfulness mediation, yoga and bodywork, and any modality which includes an awareness of breath as a fundamental part of the work.
“In our early therapy sessions, we focused on calming the physiological chaos within. We used every technique that I have learned over the years, like breathing, with a focus on the outbreath, which activates the relaxing parasympathetic nervous system.
I also taught her to use her fingers to tap the sequence of acupressure points on various parts of her body, a practice often taught under the name EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, which has been shown to help patients stay within the window of tolerance and often has positive effects on PTSD symptoms.”
“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
“Practicing mindfulness calms down the sympathetic nervous system, so that you are less likely to be thrown into fight-or-flight. Learning to observe and tolerate your physical reactions is a prerequisite for safely revisiting the past.”
Bessel in The Body Keeps the Score, states that the aim of any treatment for trauma is to enable us to become more fully present with life. We struggle at times with being fully present, especially with more painful emotions. Hence, learning how to be more present, is of crucial importance!
Indeed, as we work through our disruptions, it helps to be reminded by Bessel on what Rumi has to share…
“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”
Rumi
With all that is said, I am brought to…
We can apply EFT tapping where the Body keeps the Score!
As it is, EFT is a therapeutic holistic process involving the following 6 elements that is precisely supported by what Bessel recommends in his book…..
(1) a space of safety as we tap in a step-by-step manner to face our fears and the past
(2) mindful awareness of the physical sensations in our body
(3) verbalising of statements on self-love and acceptance
(4) with the use of finger tips to tap on specific end meridian points on ourselves, physical action is involved for releasing stored and unresolved disruptive energies in the body
(5) tapping sending a calming signal to the amygdala that governs the fight-flight and freeze stress response before engaging cognitive processing
(6) breathing to center ourselves in the present while releasing past trauma.
The Body Keeps the Score is a great book and I highly recommend it for the revelation that it brings. Obviously, not just read, apply EFT Tapping too!
Love and abundance always,

Do you suffer from bad anxiety attacks?
How can you tell that your anxiety levels are even high in the first place when being nervous or feeling worried is something that any person would “normally” experience?
What are the signs and symptoms of heightened anxiety?
Bad anxiety attacks can put you constantly on the edge. They affect every part of your life. You are like a nervous wreck even when it comes to dealing with everyday situations. Situations such as handling family responsibilities, juggling your activities, speaking up in front of a small group of friends, facing your boss at work and so on. Despite your attempts, you’ve not succeeded with shaking away the fear.
You may even prefer to avoid social outings or extended family get-togethers, so as to prevent being anxious. After all, you can still recall the many get-togethers over special occasions in the past where you’ve felt extremely uncomfortable. If given a choice, you’d prefer to avoid any form of interaction with others. Solitude – and not company – is your best friend.
Anxiety is triggered whenever you feel under pressure, such as sitting for a difficult exams, facing a new challenge or going beyond your comfort zone. You are aware that moderate levels of anxiety may not necessarily be bad because it can spur you into action, create focus and to take preventative measures. However, the difference is when anxiety attacks are constant, overwhelming and a regular occurrence.
Symptoms of anxiety attacks may include the following…
– uncontrollable shaking,
– fast heartbeats,
– profuse sweating,
– muscles tensing up,
– difficulties in breathinng
– dizziness, etc.
To cope with the said symptoms, many -perhaps, yourself – turn to using drug medication. You need to be able to function after all. There are dishes to wash in the sink, bills to pay and grocery errands to run. You’ve got client meetings, business presentations to make and there is the family dinner with the in-laws coming. So, you need something quick where you’d find relief!
Well, it’s important to realise that drugs are not a cure. In fact, there have been many questions about their long-term effectiveness. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, benzodiazepines lose their therapeutic anti-anxiety effect after 4 to 6 months of regular use. What’s more, a recent analysis reported in JAMA Psychiatry found that the effectiveness of anti-depressants in treating anxiety is no better than placebo in some cases.
Fortunately, there are ways to bringing about anxiety relief naturally.
Ways that are proven, effective and that offers sustainable results too!
May I have the permission to introduce Les to you. She’s someone with whom I have worked with.
Les had found out that the nervous tension associated with anxiety attacks could be released rather quickly. Before I proceed, I’d like to add a disclaimer. The content that I am sharing is for information only. You should always consult appropriate advice from a qualified physician for your specific circumstance. Fortunately, Les was able to find out how she can shift out from anxiety into calmness with meridian or EFT tapping.
Me: How do you know that your anxiety is a big problem for you?
Les: Well, it has affected many areas in my life. For example, it has affected my work life and in social settings, where I need to speak up or interact with others, even loved ones.
Me: What are the signs and symptoms when you go into anxiety?
Les: I feel sweaty, my heartbeat starts to race, and I experience constrictions. The symptoms are disruptive and they affect me badly.
Me: What are the things or activities will be possible for you, if anxiety is no longer a problem?
Les: I’d be able to relax. I’d be able to meditate because I can’t now and my mind can barely keep still. By being able to relax, I will be able to feel more at ease in social settings, public speaking and feeling free to pursue what I do want.
Despite trying out various healing methods and working with other therapists, Les’s problem had persisted. In fact, her inability to relax impacted her ability to find a solution for her other issues whether through hypnosis or meditation. Having heard her story, I was very excited to work with her after a quick discovery session.
Les had described her wanting to “flee” every single time when she got triggered into chronic anxiety. It’s also why all along, she had preferred to avoid situations that would cause her to be anxious. However, her avoidance has reached an unhealthy state and it is time to change how she has been responding.
I highlighted to Les that there is a difference between a real physical threat and a psychological threat. Her body has been interpreting all triggers as if they are the same. It’s when her F3 or the Fight-Flight-Freeze response kicks in. F3 or the Fight-Flight-Freeze response is the body’s automatic, built-in system designed to protect anyone from threat or danger.
The crux is that in the present, her fear is mostly not real. Les is not facing any physical threat to her life such as a tiger or any other dangerous animal. Her fear is merely psychological and hence, there is no need to go into freeze or to even to pick up and run.
Meridian tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has been known to help greatly for anxiety and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). What’s great is that no drugs are required. EFT simply involves using the fingertips to tap on specific end meridian points on the face or on the body, to release energy blockages. Refer to the diagram below on the various points.
There are already a number of scientific studies proving that meridian or EFT tapping can dramatically reduce high anxiety levels. Clinical EFT is shown to be an “evidence-based” practice. And, according to this other research paper, there is evidence of efficacy with acupoint stimulation for treating psychological disorders.
As a life coach who offers therapy solutions, I’ve been working with clients to reduce heightened stress and anxiety levels naturally. One effective method I have found is via using EFT tapping. From working together, clients had reported experiencing some pretty amazing shifts. And so, I wanted to help Les explore if tapping could work with her too.
Les was guided to recall a recent event that had triggered an anxiety attack. While recalling, she could feel her anxiety levels going up with an intensity score of a 9 out of 10. Specifically, she started to experience having the same butterflies in her stomach and constriction in her chest.
With guidance, she tapped through the meridian points while verbally acknowledging what she was feeling and experiencing in her body. In order to override the habitual F3 response, Les tapped into making the choice to let go of her fear; and in the awareness that she is safe in the now. It worked beautifully!
After a few rounds of tapping, the butterflies in her stomach and the constriction in her chest were gone. Her intensity score came down from a 9 to a zero. With all that tense energy lifted, Lesley tuned into a sense of peace and calmness.
The tapping session took less than 20 minutes for resolution. Les was amazed by the fast result especially where she had been suffering from anxiety for many years or in her own words, “for as long as I can remember”. She was glad to find relief from tapping, where no other methods she had attempted could.
What EFT tapping did is to send a calming signal to her brain. This helped her to release anxiety and to restore her body’s energy system. The combination of EFT tapping on the meridian points of her body and acknowledging the anxiety brought her mind and body into alignment.
Les had released her anxiety as she recalled about a recent event. Moving on, what will help for is to address her chronic anxiety patterns specifically when the fear first originated. It will mean having to recall further back into the past, so that she can release the stuck energies that have been locked in time bubbles;formed at the crucial moments when the F3 response kicked in. Once psychological fear is released at root cause, safety can be effectively restored.
It’s natural to assume that since everyone suffers from anxiety, there is no need to make a big deal out of it. Hence, you could have been finding ways to live with your anxiety. However, where you are experiencing anxiety attacks that are impacting normal functioning, it can help for you to know that you don’t have to struggle to cope daily.
“If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you’ll die a lot of times.”
– Dean Smith
You can choose to live with anxiety — or you can choose to do something about it. And if you choose the latter, do know that meridian or EFT tapping can bring about calm and relief.
Because meridian or EFT tapping is non-invasive and it merely involves your fingers to lightly touch on specific points in your body, the method is considered safe. There are no known side-effects, unlike drugs. EFT tapping has been proven to work for thousands of others. And fortunately, for someone like Les.
Over to you.
What would life look like for you, if you are without your anxiety attacks?
What will it do for your relationships and the people around, when you are less anxious?
What will it do for you to be able to thrive, without the long term use of medication?
Love and abundance always,
Evelyn Lim
