18 years ago, I first learned EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), shortly after it came to Australia.

I was working as a parole officer at the time, and was in the process of arranging the release of an inmate in a NSW Prison who was a member of a notorious motorcycle gang.

When I asked him about his family, he started to cry. He told me that his mother had died while he was in prison and he was so upset and felt so guilty and sad, that we couldn't continue with the interview.

Perhaps I was ‘grasping at straws’ – or perhaps it was a moment of inspiration, but I asked if he was willing to try ‘a slightly weird tapping technique’ I had just learned. He agreed - and the results shocked us both.

His face broke into a huge grin, and he shouted, 'S---! what happened?' His distress had totally dissolved in less than 10 minutes - he said it seemed to simply 'drop away'!

Some months later, he asked a colleague to ‘tell Lachie that tapping thing is still working!’ My brief ‘experiment’ had changed his life.

Over the past 18 years, I have helped hundreds of people overcome their self-sabotage, including me.

Sadly, many people learn EFT on a YouTube video and do it poorly, however, done properly, it’s simply amazing.

Learning how to stop the ‘chatter in my head’ has been great, but not without its own problems. Although I had no ‘problems’ happening for me to think about, I made that into a ‘problem’ and tried to think of something to think about.
Realizing that was silly, I remembered a new meditation I had discovered, and decided to practice that, which is to simply listen to ‘the hum of life’, or the ‘symphony’ of life’ as a type of music, which is always happening around us – and within us.

The first ‘hum’ I noticed was the sound of my breathing, flowing in and out - then I noticed the hum of the air conditioner, and the air flowing through the ducts in my office - then a bird chirping outside joined the symphony. I took a sip of my tea, tasting it and smelling it, and hearing the ‘sipping’ sound, followed by my swallow.

Then all that was interrupted by a soft ‘rrrupppp’ as a little fart sneaked out, and I felt myself beginning to laugh! Such a perfect meditation!

I’ve been enjoying watching a YouTube video of Alan Watts, an English writer and philosopher who passed away in 1975. It's very interesting.

While some people think they control their life, Alan suggested that if we believe that, we’re like a child, riding in our father’s car, playing with a plastic steering wheel and believing we’re steering the car. And yet, we are intimately involved in what is happening to us and around us. We certainly influence our relationship with the people in our life, and with the ‘world’ we live in.

Alan also suggests that we know everything – not like we might know a subject, we have studied, but much more – a deeper, ‘inner knowing’ we all have, but don’t know we have it, like knowing how to grow hair and how to breathe and how to cause our heart to beat.

He uses a term, ‘a perpetual, 'un-calculated' life, in the present’, to describe our life - our inner and outer experiences, and our connection with the environment, which is all 'happening' together, in every moment, like we’re within a piece of music or the steps in a dance.

As I meditate on this, I can feel this happening.

I always get what I expect (maybe you do, too)

I can finally ‘see’ how I’ve been unconsciously blocking my success.
I noticed that sometimes, I get what I want -and sometimes I don’t - but I always get what I expect.

The answer I discovered is quite simple, really, and possibly of value to others, who haven’t already worked this out for themselves.

My beliefs are revealed in what I do - and what I feel – and just ‘under the surface’ in what I expect. (I can now change what I expect – and my beliefs - and my feelings.)

I love finding out things about myself and using it in my program to help others.
