16. Do you have conflict of needs, where one part of you wants this change but another wants something else? If so see the chapter on EFT and Inner Conflicts.

By methodically removing obstacles (those above and others) we clear the field of our mind for our deeper values and life purpose to surface.

Through EFT we are:

1. Freeing ourselves from social conditioning.

2. Overcoming fears, negative emotions and limiting beliefs.

3. Letting go of our attachment to results.

In addition to our EFT work, we will also benefit from the following.

4. Cultivating contact with our inner voice. (Meditation, prayer and contemplation with help.)

5. Developing physical and mental harmony. (Daily exercise, breathing techniques, relaxation techniques and a healthy diet will help us here.)

6. Following our intuition.

7. Getting in touch with and developing our personal talents.

8. Those who are spiritually oriented might also want to pray daily to become an instrument of a higher good for all.
