Welcome...
This website is always under construction, (some day there will be more than one page)...and will also always be changing to bring you items that will improve your life.  A site that will help you to positively manage the way you deal with stress, and give you ideas to have more fun, while eliminating a few of the things that might be adding to your stress - it's all good!

Techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique),  The Wand, interesting, highly useful book suggestions to give you a better chance at living in your space on this planet, without all that unnecessary anxiety. The site grows before your eyes with help, new friends, and fun along the way.  Come back often  for new additions as they become ready to announce...The content seems to be leaning more toward SENIORS, and since we all expect to be a senior too some day, everyone can benefit from those subjects, of interest to the ‘older and wiser’ folks.

How do you like these words?   "

Together we ARE making a difference..."  I think it inspires my website and PURPOSE!!

 “Be The Shift” . What can we each do to shift our own lives and the entire planet? I encourage you to feel into what that shift is for you and feel into your contribution.  
"Be The Shift" - You are the power the world is seeking -- go for it!

  NEW!!  NEW!!  NEW!!  NEW!!  

I recently heard Dr. Robert H. Schuller say in his Sunday morning service, “Turn possibilities into opportunities, then opportunities into achievements. Think Big, Think Bigger!!”…so…this…is... what…I…did… I have always wanted to offer to keep my office open by appointment, have flexible hours, and share EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) without charge for my time. Of course, I always wondered just HOW that could ever be possible. I am open to any/all possibilities to earn an independent income to achieve this dream.  What can YOU offer that is working for YOU?

Check out your local library if you want your enjoyment of books to be more affordable - my local library is AMAZING for the quality and contents they stock or can order from their exchhange, but for some, ownership is the ultimate joy.  Not in any order, the list continually grows.

Tele-seminars/WEBINARS...
 ...always “Food For Thought” I spend a l-o-t of quality time listening to free interviews and even courses, that reveal (often) “hands-on” immediate benefits in the world of Energy Healing, which is broadening to include related subjects.  Occasionally the same “specialist” will turn up at different times in each of these forums through different live interviews.  All of them offer valuable information while also promoting their books, tapes, etc. (That’s why they’re FREE.)  Although some programs offer “Affiliate” opportunities (paid to promote their programs), I offer them to you without becoming an affiliate for that purpose. (I am not financially involved in benefitting from their promotions.  My benefit is being able to learn from their interview content, as well as sharing with readers on my website.)  You will have a hard time wading through what you really need to add to your library of “things to re-visit” by choosing to purchase them.  I find I am often moved to purchase a single book from my local bookstore by that author, rather than the promoted “bundle” that often contains more titles than my budget allows.  My local library is amazing too, with titles from these authors you may not expect to find in their system. There’s too many to listen to all, and still have time to live good ideas with new purpose. (Oh, yes, and then there’s the frequent Bonus Gifts – often, each another hour of profound thought, usually without the promo pitch, that you can download onto your computer…)  Each program will post their line-ups and live interview times, also links to re-visit within a limited time (NOTE: GLOBALTELECLASS IS NOT RECORDED OR REPEATED). And most Teleclasses offers internet link as well as phone, saves long distance charges.) or to listen for the first time, if you missed the live calls.  At this posting, this series is already well in progress:  The Aware Show TELESEMINAR - 24 of the world's top 'thought' leaders. Click on:  Watch Lisa's cool video and sign up here...Another is ongoing, check new sessions at beginning of each month:  Click on:   www.globalteleclass.com – Health, Sales and Marketing, Personal Development, some presentations for this series have already begun, but it is revolving with sooo many choices and new dates. And the most recent one may already have started when you read this: Click on: 
 www.livingenergysecrets.com/

Some you’ll agree with, some you might find will challenge your belief system – challenge is good for dialog and to stimulate your urge to research.  NOTE:  My source for these links are to the originators of the interviews and courses.  Each participant will also promote their interview schedule to their own contact list of potential listeners, so you may experience notification from other sources.  A quick overview of the opening page will tell you if you have already been invited via a different link. This amazing “viral marketing” method makes sure no-one misses out on sharing these “food for thought”, or “even life-changing” experiences. 

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visitors to my office often tell me that they “worry”, saying “I just can’t help it, I worry a lot!”  Somewhere, I found a clever answer to that, and I like it so much, I put it on the backside of my Beautiful Flowers bookmarks - which I hand out whenever I can…
It reads, “Worry, is using your vivid imagination…to scare yourself”.

 
However, recently a friend gifted me a tiny hanging sign that is hand-printed,  "Worry ends where faith begins”.   
             

This could be the beginning of a collection? *J

Sure enough…here's another, 
"Worry...looks around.  Sorry...looks back.  Faith...looks up"."

Well, it finally happened!!EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) in my LESS YOUR STRESS office or on the phone, is absolutely…totally…FREE   FREE   FREESharing EFT is now my VOLUNTEER time, as I have found an independent income to support myself and my office!!  Clients are now “tapping buddies”, and I share with you at no charge, all I have learned and loved since 1999 when I first discovered EFT. Some have offered to pay anyway, so I have asked them to “pay it forward” (know the movie?) or donate whatever they choose, to a charity or other financially thirsty cause.  There are many sources to learn EFT out there now, free programs, manuals, books, DVD purchases, etc., and some of you may have benefited from those.  I know from experience that it is STILL worthwhile to have a one-on-one session to ask the questions and learn how to persevere when things aren’t slipping along “like magic”, as EFT can feel like at times.  So give me a call, and I will cheerfully help you to get the most out of a technique that I will always credit for “near miracles”.  Personal and observed situations, in my office, over the phone, during training, and at conferences where I have continued to learn have amazing examples of this.  I continue to keep in touch with this wonderful technique and the m-a-n-y who continue to use it and share it, including one of the most admirable persons you will ever encounter, founder, Gary Craig himself.  My grateful thanks to Gary for all he has done for folks by his untiring dedication to ‘get it out there’.  Make Positive Changes in
    YOUR life with EFT 
Friendly, Simple, Quick, Lasting,...
Emotional Freedom Technique is a technique that you use to Less Your Stress by tapping on selected acupuncture points while focusing on the emotional issue that describes your anxiety or physical pain...you'll be amazed at what you and your incredible body can do to release symptoms that have been causing you to "drive through life with your brakes on".   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Posted as a “Hot Topic” on Mercola.com (“The World’s #1 Free Natural Health Newsletter), Dr. Mercola states”  “…technique I routinely use in my practice and most highly recommend to optimize your emotional health.  Although it is still often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing – no matter how devoted you are to the proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body’s ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way.  EFT is very easy to learn, and will help you: *Remove Negative Emotions, *Reduce Food Cravings, *Reduce or Eliminate Pain, *Implement Positive Goals….more than any traditional or alternative method I have used or researched, EFT works”.  Carol M. Boxrud, EFT Facilitator          
*One-on-One 90 Minute "Tap 'n Talk" appointments are no charge - just a "tune-up" with EFT.

e-mail:  lessyourstress@shaw.ca
WEB:  www.LessYourStress.com When people come to my office, and answer my question, "how are you", and they share their large, small, recent or long-held stresses, I invite them to "tap while you're telling me that".  Tapping neutralizes their anxious feelings, causing them to view the “problem” from a less emotional, "sensible" point of view, and they end up even "solving" it with a new perspective....often by themselves!  

I love my job.  (Well, it's now my
"Volunteer "work in my
community.)

LOOK OUT JUNIORS -
HERE COME THE SENIORS !!!
I am reading a book called "Audacious Aging".  43 chapters each by a different person which confirms and celebrates "the New Senior".  (Look out Juniors, the Seniors are COMING!!)  Folks like you and me (and you know who those others are), in some ways ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!  We're living longer and healthier, and wiser than seniors have previously done, and we are in a position of being able to enjoy, do, create, plan, play, and share our wisdom like no other seniors before us.

N-e-a-r-l-y my FAVORITE from the Norwex catalogue is the (grey) Kitchen Cloth. It grabs crumbs of stuff left on the counter and the moisture it brings to do that. The FINEST silver threads keep it fresh!.  Amazingly, the counter is left with a shine that I notice, over the boxed kitchen cloths I’ve used for years. It’s on page 33 of the little Norwex Catalogue.  Oh, don’t have a catalogue? Send me a quick e-mail and I’ll mail one to you today."CLEAN WITHOUT CHEMICALS"
