Peace
Since so many of us want peace, but feel that we are not at peace with ourselves, others, or the circumstances in the world. I am offering a sample of how to use EFT based on the topic of peace. I came across the following story that illustrates well my belief that peace begins from within.
A Sioux Indian Story
My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone person.
"You may create lots of splashes in your life but the waves that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.
"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles. You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."
That was the first time I realized each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, doubt, or anger. We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.
Remember the eternal wisdom:
Whatever You Focus On Expands.

In this sample EFT guide and audio I will focus first on Inner Peace, i.e., releasing our blocks to inner peace and then focusing on creating peace within, followed by Outer Peace, i.e. blocks to peace with others, circumstances and the world and then focus on creating peace in our outer world.
Before you begin, please make a list of areas where you feel you are not feeling inner peace. Do you have inner conflicts, anger, frustration, self-blame, self-hate? Then make a list of what it is like to have inner peace. Is it feeling calm, relaxed, content, and happy, liking yourself and giving? Now create a list of areas where you lack outer peace? Is there discord between you and your spouse, your parents, your boss, your friends, your government? Then create another list of what it is like to have outer peace. Is it feeling joy whenever you see or hear from your family and friends, working closely with your teammates at work, being in integrity in all you say and do?
To me peace, inner and outer, is being in that state of inner peace that allows me to stay calm in all circumstances, to look for the good in all that is happening, to project forth peace to all I encounter. Wouldn’t it be lovely if we all felt this inner peace and interacted with everyone we meet in this way? Well, let’s start by using EFT to release some blocks to feeling at peace and then instill a new peaceful belief system. Let’s see how being internally at peace affects the state of peace around us.
