<BR>&nbsp;



<P>1.&nbsp; Great Responses&nbsp; (with their permission, of course)

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>About the newsletter exercises:

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>“I simply want to say how much I have enjoyed both newsletters. I've

used the first technique (forehead or third eye-chin) for pain in my lower

back. It

<BR>helped! Thanks again.”&nbsp; Jayne P.

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>“Also, I wanted to say how neat the energy exercise was from your first

<BR>newsletter ... where you tap on the 3rd eye and a point on the cleft

of the

<BR>chin .... I had a very stiff neck this morning and since you invited

us to try

<BR>the process with a 'bodily ache', I decided to do so.&nbsp; Wow!&nbsp;

It was like magic... when I got up from my chair - I half expected my neck

to still hurt - well, it was totally gone.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, thanks for the

great tip.”&nbsp; Nancy P.

<BR>&nbsp;

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>About this past week’s teleclass:

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>“This is Pamm from Boise.&nbsp; I joined your teleclass last night.&nbsp;

That was my

<BR>first exposure to your wonderful work.&nbsp; I am a bodyworker in Boise

and am very familiar with Shiatsu points, meridians, deep breathing and

positive

<BR>affirmations.&nbsp; WOW - was that a powerful session for me, putting

all of that

<BR>together like you do.&nbsp; I did not know what to expect and came

to the call with an open mind and open heart.&nbsp; By the time we were

rubbing the heart area and speaking outloud about forgiving ourselves and

others - tears were rolling down my face.&nbsp; I really let go and surrendered

to what was taking place.&nbsp; Hearing yourself say those statements outloud

was so powerful I can not even begin to explain it.&nbsp; Thank You.”

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>“Richard, I felt VERY serene after the class.&nbsp; Thank you!”

<P>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Energy Work You Can Use Now --&nbsp;

Putting It All Together

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>In the first issue of this newsletter (4/5/99) I gave you a powerful

<BR>mini-process I created for quickly releasing emotional issues.&nbsp;

In the second

<BR>issue (4/19/99) I gave you another powerful exercise (this one from

a

<BR>colleague) for turbocharging affirmations.&nbsp;



<P>For those of you who are new to this newsletter (or who no longer have

those first two issues), I am copying the two processes referred to above,

at the very end of this newsletter.



<P>What I am going to suggest now is that for any issue that you are working

on, you use BOTH the “mini-release process” AND the “affirmation process”

in tandem. And that you use them in that order.



<P>For example, if you are doing work around an issue of self-worth, self-esteem,or

self-confidence I suggest you first use the “mini-release process” I gave

you, for letting go of feelings of non-deserving,&nbsp; fears of success/failure,

and/or any feeling of doubt about your value or abilities.&nbsp;



<P>Once you have cleared each of these, using the mini-process, you will

have

<BR>created an empty space, energetically, which is the absolute best time

to

<BR>install an affirmation.&nbsp;



<P>So using the above example of self-worth, this would be the perfect

time to

<BR>then use the “affirmation process”.&nbsp; A suggested affirmation might

be “I

<BR>deserve the very best in life, right now”&nbsp; or for self-confidence

“I am totally

<BR>confident and secure in every situation”.&nbsp;



<P>Why not try this dynamic duo of “releasing negative emotions” and then

<BR>“installing positive affirmations” in every area of your life.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Let me know

<BR>how it works for you.

<BR>&nbsp;

<P>3. SUGGESTIONS/FEEDBACK&nbsp;



<P>I would appreciate your feedback and suggestions for future issues of

this

<BR>newsletter. What would you like me to discuss?&nbsp; What kinds of

teleclasses would you like to see offered?&nbsp; Please write me at emotionalfreedom@richardross.com&nbsp;

<BR>I will definitely read your suggestions and take them into account.

Your

<BR>comments will be appreciated no matter how brief or extensive. Thanks

in

<BR>advance.&nbsp;

<P>4. Food For Thought

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>Any technology which is sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from

magic.

<BR>--- Robert Heinlein

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>...our life crises tell us that we need to break free of beliefs that

no longer

<BR>serve our personal development. These points at which we must choose

to change or to stagnate are our greatest challenges. Every new crossroads

means we enter into a new cycle of change - whether it be adopting a new

health regimen or a new spiritual practice. And change inevitably means

letting go of familiar people and places and moving on to another stage

of life.

<BR>--- Caroline Myss, Ph.D., Anatomy of the Spirit

<BR>&nbsp;



<P>One day it was suddenly revealed to me that everything is pure spirit.

<BR>--- Ramakrishna

<P>5.&nbsp; Upcoming Teleclasses&nbsp; (starting this week!!!)



<P>Thursdays,&nbsp; May 6th, 13th and 20th, 9:00 PM EST.



<P>EMOTIONAL FREEDOM &amp; HEALING Teleclass Series&nbsp;



<P>These three powerful guided sessions will focus on areas such as allowing

<BR>abundance and prosperity in your life, healing your relationships with

loved

<BR>ones and others, eliminating any unwanted beliefs that prevent you

from

<BR>becoming a full expression of who you are.&nbsp; Bring your personal

issue(s) to the call and there will be no need to share them with the group

in order to resolve them.



<P>This is a revolutionary approach to transforming and eliminating negative

<BR>emotions that prevent you from living life to the fullest. This is

a pilot

<BR>program so tuition is only $49. (I expect this to increase to $99.

in the near

<BR>future) for all three sessions&nbsp;&nbsp; (or $124 which also includes

a private

<BR>one-hour session with me.)&nbsp; Incidentally, this program will be

a pre-requisite

<BR>for future advanced programs in which I will teach others to become

<BR>facilitators of the Emotional Freedom work.



<P>There are still plenty of openings available.&nbsp;



<P>For more info or to register, call (505) 828-3527 or e-mail <a href="mailto:emotionalfreedom@richardross.com">emotionalfreedom@richardross.com</a>&nbsp;

<P>6.&nbsp; A Custom Emotional Freedom Tele-workshop For Your Group???&nbsp;



<P>Are you a member of a group or organization that might benefit from

a custom Emotional Freedom tele-workshop designed specifically to address

your needs?



<P>Recently I have begun doing customized tele-workshops for special interest

<BR>groups and organizations.&nbsp; For instance, during the next three

months I will be doing a number of private tele-workshops for a sales training

organization that specializes in training for MLM folks.&nbsp; My workshop

will address eliminating fears and phobias (such as public speaking, prospecting,

self-confidence, etc) that are common blocks to success in the MLM field.

<BR>&nbsp;

<BR>Do you have a group that shares common concerns and challenges??? Call

me at <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">(505) 828-3527 </font></font> and I will put together a special tele-workshop to

address those concerns.

<P>Energy Processes From First Two Newsletters:



<P>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<BR>&nbsp;

<BR>The following is a mini-process I developed that is so easy to do it

may take

<BR>your using it a few times before you fully realize the power of it.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

It can

<BR>be done virtually anywhere, at any time, and it takes less than one

minute to

<BR>do.



<P>It is perfect for quickly releasing any unwanted strong emotion like

fear,

<BR>anger, or sadness.&nbsp; And it is equally effective for releasing

a sudden

<BR>addictive urge like smoking, alcohol, or food cravings.&nbsp;



<P>Here it is:&nbsp;



<P>Step 1-&nbsp; Begin by focusing on the issue, feeling, or urge.&nbsp;

Fully feel it.&nbsp;



<P>Step 2-&nbsp; While you are feeling the issue place one or two fingers

of one hand

<BR>on the forehead in the area of the third eye (between the two eyes

and about an inch or so higher than eye level).&nbsp; Then place one or

two fingers of the

<BR>opposite hand on the chin (in the crease of the chin, which is about

halfway

<BR>between the bottom lip and the point of the chin). Use moderate pressure

on

<BR>each of these two points, but not enough to cause discomfort.&nbsp;



<P>Step 3-&nbsp; So now you have one hand touching the third eye and the

other hand touching the chin.&nbsp; While holding these points, continue

to focus on the issue, feeling, or urge and slowly take five full breaths.

On each in-breath repeat the words “I am calm” and on each out-breath repeat

the words “I release this………….(fear, emotion, issue, urge, etc.)”.&nbsp;



<P>Step 4-&nbsp; After taking the five breaths tune in to the issue again

and you will

<BR>find that the emotional charge (or urge) is either greatly diminished

<BR>or…….gone!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Quite amazing actually.&nbsp; And if you

find that most of the charge is gone, though not all of it, simply spend

one more minute (smile) and do the process again.&nbsp;



<P>While I’m not suggesting that this process will eliminate the core issue

that

<BR>is causing the problem (a few sessions of Emotional Freedom Therapy

will

<BR>usually do that), it will quickly release the hold that issue has over

you at

<BR>that moment.&nbsp;&nbsp; Try it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Be creative and experiment

with it on many things

<BR>(even body discomforts like headaches, pains, etc.).&nbsp; And please

let me know how it works for you.&nbsp; I would love to hear about how

you used it and what happened.



<P>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



<P>Here's Some Energy Work You Can Use To Turbocharge Your Own Affirmations&nbsp;



<P>The following was sent to me by Energy Worker and fellow Coach, from

London, England, Diana Keel, and I have been using it this past week with

excellent results.&nbsp;



<P>"Please add the following technique to any affirmations you are currently

<BR>"doing": to strengthen the power of your affirmations, use a simple

tapping

<BR>procedure.&nbsp;



<P>1.&nbsp; Find the little knob at the center of the back of your head,

where the

<BR>skull meets the top of the neck (in some people it is barely discernible

-&nbsp;

<BR>someone else may be able to find yours more easily for you; if not,

try to find it on someone else and then you might find it more easily on

yourself).&nbsp;



<P>2. Using two fingers, tap steadily and firmly but lightly on this knob,

as you

<BR>repeat your affirmations 9 times, or until you take a deep breath or

yawn

<BR>(sighing or yawning often signifies changing levels), whichever takes

longer."



<P>Note from RR: The sighing or yawning is a clear indication that something

has shifted or something has been released.



<P>"This tapping procedure can be enormously effective.&nbsp; The tapping

sends a

<BR>steady message, a pulsing beat, into your nervous system and into your

habit

<BR>field. With deeply entrenched habits, allow at least 30 days before

results

<BR>become evident. Even if you are skeptical, judge for yourself based

on the

<BR>results you attain.&nbsp; Also consult with friends and loved ones

after about a

<BR>month because quite often we do not recognize changes when they happen

<BR>effortlessly!"



<P>Note from RR: The last statement is excellent advice after any kind

or energy work or transformational therapy.&nbsp; This is especially true

with Emotional Freedom Therapy. Although the work is powerful, it can sometimes

be so subtle that we don't recognize that we have changed. I've had clients

whom, once the work was completed, have totally "forgotten" the severity

of the original issue they brought to the session.&nbsp;



<P>As always, I welcome your questions, your feedback on how you use the

processes you learn about here, and what your experience has been.&nbsp;
