How would you like to transform your symptoms? I learned the Metaphors for Change exercise from business coach Martha Tilyard and modified it into this Symptom As Metaphor technique for physical issues.

I will guide you through the metaphorical imagery process in this 8 minute video and share a story about a student of mine with an eating disorder. A 22 minute combination video Using EFT and Imagery can be found in the Let Magic Happen store for $4.99.

My quest for hidden messages in symptoms was initiated by my own puzzling illnesses, spurred on by my father’s renal cancer and Louise Hay’s Heal Your Body book, and given solid academic grounding by the work of Dr. Brian Broom as described in the August 2013 Let Magic Happen newsletter Invisible Symbolic Diseases. I will be exploring these issues in depth in an all day preconference workshop at the Canadian Energy Psychology Conference in Toronto on October 24, 2013 as detailed in the 2 minute video below.

My understanding of the Chinese five elements comes from local acupuncturists Ian Florian, Andy Prescott and Lori Fendell and from Between Heaven and Earth by Beinfield and Korngold, Acupuncture Energetics by Joe Helms and Nourishing Destiny by Lonny Jarrett.

A general approach that you can use for your own health issues is summarized in the 9 minute video below.

“How To Swim With Sharks” is a classic parody of surviving the political power plays that are an unfortunate part of any workplace environment. It has particular relevance to Dealing With Skeptics regarding alternative medicine as discussed in the June 2013 Let Magic Happen newsletter. The attack on me by an anatomy professor and an oncologist during a Duke Medical School Curriculum Committee meeting in 1998 is described in this 7 minute video along with the rules about swimming with sharks.

In the 7 minute video below I offer two of my dreams as examples.
