Have you thought about making long, lasting change, but just haven't done anything about it yet? Life can so busy and much of the day is spent focusing on taking care of stuff. At the end of the day, what have you done for you?

Change can happen. Having a desire to do things differently is the first part of the process. Nothing will change, however, until you decide the time is right to take action. Typically something occurs and you are faced with your problem one more time. If this is the time when you are not ready to settle for the same response and realize there is a pattern in your life you are dissatisfied with, then you are getting ready to do something differently.

Most people that seek support through coaching or therapy consider doing individual sessions. They are safe, private and allow you to focus on your specific concerns. Group sessions are an alternative way to work toward long lasting change. Group work, like individual work, is a dynamic and supportive motivator for personal growth.

Groups are a powerful venue for change. Groups create a mastermind effect. People benefit from being part of a supportive group that share similar goals. Groups provide the opportunity to gain alternative points of view, ideas and feedback as you progress toward your goals. The power and dynamics of a support group allow you to explore and better understand what habits prevent you from reaching your goals as well as insights into your process. Change happens quickly.

When the right dynamics occur, you are motivated to work toward personal goals. In a group, you have the benefit of being with others who are just as motivated as you for positive change. Using the Emotional Freedom Techniques will increase the effectiveness of the group. Even if you choose not to disclose your issue, you will have relief through the process of Borrowing Benefits. As someone else is discussing their barriers to change, you will be encouraged to identify your own obstacles during the tapping sequence.

During the group, EFT is used to address all issues. Group tapping has a powerful effect. At times you might be tapping for someone else; however, you are aware of what you need to address. This is a very effective process for each person in the group to experience relief and healing at the same time. The group tapping will help to resolve your challenges, although the focus might be on another individual.

Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, realized while working in groups that each person can experience relief on their own issue even though you might be using EFT to address another person's challenge. With this approach you first decide the specific issue you want to work on. You will experience a reduction in intensity as you use the EFT process in the group. This approach is remarkable and provides long lasting effects. There is documented evidence in a research study accepted by the Counseling and Clinical Psychology Journal.

After being in the group, you might find that you have more in common than you realized. So often, people feel their concerns are unique. There is comfort knowing that others have similar concerns. You have support from the other people in the group as well. Being able to receive feedback in a supportive way and having your perspective validated is an important part of the group dynamic. Often other group members will address issues that might be similar to your experience. While tapping as a group on that issue, you will most likely find relief for your issue as well.

The benefit of being in a group is unique and transformational as you gain insight into your process. I have found small groups to be more effective and to produce quicker results than individual sessions. The group has the ability to become a mastermind where you benefit from each person's perspective and to work through issues with other people that have similar concerns. The mastermind effect of a group provides more wisdom and insight than in an individual session due to each group member bringing their unique perspective to the group. You harness the power of the collective consciousness.

Come join the group for a time of healing. Bring one or two issues to the group that you want to focus on. As a group you will tap together for each person to increase the effectiveness of the tapping. Being able to Borrow Benefits increases your progress. Change will happen. You will experience the power of the mastermind while Borrowing Benefits. If you do share the same issue, you will get even more benefits.

You are more likely to reach your goals, and at a faster pace, being part of a mastermind group than you are alone. Take the time to determine your goals, choose an EFT Practitioner you trust and has experience facilitating a group, then take the next step to success. The payoff will be well worth the time and energy committed to this unique opportunity.

Activity: Consider what you have been wanting to change, but have been avoiding. List the two main reasons you are not ready to work on that goal yet. List the benefits which will occur once you begin to work toward that goal. Identify who you have for support as you begin working on your goal. Are they the right type of support for this goal? Accountability increases the success of reaching a goal. When you are ready to take action, find the best type of support for you as you begin to progress toward your goals.

Are you ready to take the next step toward success? The Law of Attraction increases with quick decisive action. You will be amazed at the progress you make in a small group circle. Accountability to yourself as well as the group helps to maintain focus on your personal goals. Experience the benefits of tapping in a group. You will leave feeling energized and empowered from the dynamic process of group tapping.
