Anything You Ever Wanted, Get It From Yourself

I realised a long time ago the truism that "What annoys me most in others is what annoys me about myself". This is one of the reasons I've come back to live with my folks for a while. I'd got about as far as I easily could peering into my own navel. Much easier to

How to Clear a Ton of Crap Fast

Remember a while back, I wrote about a more effective version of the Map'n'Tap? Ie, a way to quickly deeply clear everything around any given issue. Well, here's the fastest way I've found if you want to do a whole bunch of maps. Since any mind map should ideally be about a single subject, if you

The Subtlety of Posture

I've talked about posture before and how strongly our mind & body are connected. How if we're feeling crappy, we can adjust ourselves physically and our mind will follow. We can do this just with our face (in the west, often the most outwardly expressive part of us) or with our entire bodies. What I've

Why it seems the crap is never ending

When you first start on a growing or healing journey (aka life), everything seems amazing. Gigantic problems fall away with ease, life gets better, people notice the change in you and for a while it seems like all your worries are gone. After a while though you may start to notice, there's always more crap. What's going on?

A Night Of Bad Dreams

I had a bunch of bad dreams last night. This is very rare for me. Typically these days I might get a single mildly bad dream maybe once or twice a month, if that. But first let me wind back a bit. A few days ago I hung out with a friend of mine. This is someone

Three high states, three lists

There are three super high states of being: Courageousness, Acceptance and Peace. I first talked about them here. These may not be the utterly highest states possible (how much bullshit wankery do we want to get into, really), but they're damn good to aim for. Acceptance is a higher state than Courageousness. Peace is the highest. Courageousness

Bad Morning

This morning I woke up feeling bad. How bad? Really bad. The worst I've felt in… months? Kinda like this: (Years back I used to sing this to myself every day at work… but that's a whole other story) In fact, I distinctly remember thinking "God, I feel so crap even a blowjob wouldn't cheer me

Dealing To Fear

Fear is very simple. Our usual reaction to fear, anxiety, in fact any "negative" or "unpleasant" emotion is to avoid it. To either push it down or try to escape it (booze, sex, TV etc). And this works! Well, kinda. All it really does is push that emotion back down again, but, like an unkillable hydra, it

Map'n'Tap, Version 2

I originally wrote about the Map N Tap a loooong time ago. The basic gist goes like this: Most issues (particularly core or long-held beliefs) are like little spiderwebs. There are lots of things tied in around them — both positive & negative (ie, both attachments and aversions). So, to clear out anything significant: Get yourself

Simpler EFT

I've been using EFT daily for a long time. The commonest confusion I've heard in that time is "What do I say?" Generally speaking, what you say is more or less irrelevant. It serves primarily to keep you focused on the situation or issue you're tapping out. Understandably then, I was pretty excited to discover the
