7 Keys to Creating a Magical Life
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
Today’s episode is a short one. It’s just me and I’ve got two things to share. The first is that the podcast is going on hiatus. It’s time for me to focus on the areas of my life that feel extra-magical right now and also on those that could use more magic. I don’t know exactly when the show will be back, but if you subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, you’ll be the first to know. All of the shows will continue to be available on iTunes and on , so take the opportunity to catch up on any that you might have missed. I have so much gratitude for those of you who’ve listened to the...

You're Not Too Much with Leela Sinha, M. Div.
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
A gentle reminder, just in case you need it too: We are living in turbulent times. We are inundated by information. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, triggered, and even traumatized (or re-traumatized) by news stories, sound bytes, videos and the conversations that swirl around them. Self-care is an essential practice at all times and even more so when life feels challenging. Self-care means different things to each of us and can be practiced alone or in community. Find what works for you and fit it in where you can. Please, take good and gentle care of your precious self – you’re the...

Get Comfortable with Conflict Without Compromising Yourself with Jennifer McCabe
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren

My guest today is an expert on human behavior and leadership. Jennifer McCabe is the founder and CEO of Pluck With Purpose, which teaches relationship and leadership skills to professionals and...

Health, Vitality and Limitless Freedom with Jane Del Piero
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
Some people seem to be born knowing what direction to go in life, while others wander a more roundabout path. Both are fine of course (though I think those of us on the “scenic route” often wish for more clarity along the way). The challenges for both types come when we attempt to make changes and when our lives feel stressful. At these times it’s a gift to find someone – a healer, a coach, a loved one, a trusted friend – who can support our wellness and our dreams. Today’s guest is one of those people. Jane Del Piero experienced stunning dreams as a child that catapulted her...

Grace is Available to Everyone; Roy Nelson on Addiction, Hope and Freedom
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
I’ve been thinking a lot about connection lately. Connection and community and how we need them like we need oxygen. We need someone to bear witness to our lives. We need to be there for each other. My hope is that we can continue to open our hearts, reach across a sea of difference and create a world community based on respect and love instead of fear. Today’s show is about addiction, a struggle that so often stems from a lack of connection, from needs unfulfilled. Addiction can offer the illusion of connection but the destruction is deep, the hole tragically hard to climb out of. Some...

Speak for Impact: Stand Up and Stand Out with Dr. Michelle Mazur
Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
Do you feel you’re allowed to be who you are, to feel what you feel, to want what you want? If someone waved a magic wand and gave you full permission to be yourself, would anything in your life change? Unfortunately, some people don’t feel safe enough to be themselves (and some people truly aren’t safe – something I hope we’re collectively working to change). You may feel like you’ve been hiding and “playing small,” afraid to show your true colors. Today’s show can help you find the courage and the skills to share your real voice with the world. My guest is Dr....

Create Your Magical Life – Alana Sheeren
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands and pressures of your life? Do you struggle to find a healthy way through the daily ups and downs? Do you wish for a fairy godmother to wave her magic wand and take care of everything on your to-do list so you can catch your breath? (I’m raising my hand over here on that last one!) Most of us want lives filled with joy and ease but our choices often set us up for something very different. Even if we’re making the best choices we can, the pressures of modern life are hard to juggle. It’s helpful to have a path to follow, a structure or...

info_outlineAre you familiar with EFT or “tapping”? Chances are, if you know much about the world of personal development, then you’ve heard something about Emotional Freedom Technique. Introduced to the world in the 1990’s, EFT has positively impacted millions of people with astonishing results. Most of us have dealt with phobias, childhood traumas, anxieties and fears, PTSD, or other emotional issues. All of these can be greatly improved—and even permanently healed-- using EFT. Are you curious about how it works? The difference EFT can make in your life is nothing short of amazing.
While you can find many versions of “tapping” on the internet, and many teachers who claim different benefits, we wanted to go straight to the source: Emotional Freedom Technique originator and founder, Gary Craig. His website has tutorials, techniques, and other helpful information—all free! Check out our resources below for more information.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- The two types of EFT Gary developed are Gold Standard and Optimal.
- Gold Standard EFT is the “emotional version of acupuncture without needles.”
- The healing process can be reduced to hours and minutes instead of weeks, months, and years!
- Gary talks about working with veterans to heal their PTSD.
- Gary’s website includes two free tutorials to teach you everything you need to start working with EFT.
- “Easy EFT” occurs when you “tap” along with someone else—also called “borrowing benefits.”
- Buyer beware in the world of EFT! Be sure to check out a teacher or practitioner thoroughly before working with them.
- Gary explains how he developed EFT and discusses a deeply spiritual experience that changed his perspective on life.
- In Optimal EFT, spiritual methods are added to tapping for deeper results.
- Optimal EFT has the goal of removing the blocks to love’s presence and helping us to “climb our spiritual ladder.”
- Gary explains “The Unseen Therapist” and “The Guardian at the Gate.”
- Optimal EFT has two steps and it brings faster results, more efficiency, and greater love, joy, and peace.
- In this episode’s segment of Alana’s Guide to Magical Living, we meet Maree Gecks, the founder and designer of Marzipants, which are beautiful, Bohemian-style trousers. They are a comfortable, form-flattering pant, styled after the loose, wrap pants of the Thai fishermen. They are ethically and sustainably made in luxurious organic cotton.
