Dear Friends, I hope this finds you happy and well. This is an international day of peace. I wish you peace. Well...it's been a long time since I wrote to you. I just got back this weekend from a trip to a Navaho Native American reservation in Arizona. I had the privilege of teaching TAT to a group of mostly Native Americans and a handful of people of other lineages. I had wished for that opportunity for a long time. We did TAT together on "the most influential trauma or traumas that my ancestors had." That was Step 1. I think that it was after Step 2, people did the TAT pose while they held silent conversations with their ancestors. We did all the steps together as a group. You might like to try that for yourself. It was pretty powerful. My thanks to the sponsors, the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility - Counseling Services and Iina Coalition, Inc., to Danny Sr. and Laurene John who led Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, to my friends Tam and Mair Llewellyn for suggesting that I might attend and to Ed Fields, who organized the event and was a very welcoming host to all. My thanks also to Alfred Claw for leading us all in a heart-felt Traditional Blessing which set the tone for our get-together. Orlinda Williams graced us with a beautiful prayerful poem and Dr. Peter Stuart, the Director of the Counseling Services center spoke and welcomed everyone with a humble and open spirit. There were excellent presenters who taught other energy psychology and healing approaches (including Native American healing). We took a tour of Canyon de Chelly. Many people like it better than the Grand Canyon. It is full of centuries of vibrations of Native Americans living in harmony with the Creator and all of nature. There is a deep feeling of reverence and the grace of nature giving blessings and the beauty is huge -- big rock cliffs rising above you, ancient petroglyphs, blue skies pouring expansive space, greens like I've never seen and the feeling of ancient people from the past and now all living quietly in the canyon. I am sharing the beauty and feeling of the place so that you might consider joining us next year. ***** Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends Tam and Mair Llewellyn of Tickhill, England, hosted the First European TAT International Conference. Oh my gosh: that was so much fun. 80 delegates from Europe and America attended. It was hosted by the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Therapies (AAMT) and the AAMT Ireland. My thanks to my hosts. Tam and Mair taught the basics of TAT and I got to attend presentations by some of the Irish group - Paul O'Connor and Sarah Bird and Rory O'Connor. One of the most interesting applications they shared was for using TAT to heal your home. Paul is an architect and that application was so much fun to do. Paul and Sarah also did a great TAT session for us all on developing our intuition. Sarah did a very refined piece on good listening. Tom Wynn (also from Ireland) has come up with a way to use both palmistry and the lymph system on the palm with TAT to do healing. He did some of his work on me and I felt good changes happening immediately. Besides, it was fun! My deep thanks to all of these wonderful, enthusiastic and bright teachers. My thanks also to Chrissie Hardisty and Ali Llewellyn for helping with registration and running the show. You can contact Tam and Mair Llewellyn at TLlewellyn@aol.com about next year's European TAT Conference. You are also welcome to contact Paul O'Connor and Sarah Bird at oconnor@iol.ie or sarahbird@wowmail.com and Tom Wynn is at tomwynn@eircom.net. They are all great teachers and warm and funny friends you will enjoy. I am sure they would be happy to teach anytime before next year! We are considering Ireland as a possibility for next year's Second European TAT International Conference. One of the most powerful healing sessions was during the TAT Teacher's Day. We all did TAT about "the most influential trauma my ancestors experienced which is having the biggest impact on me now" (close to that). It felt like being in popcorn popping all around - explosions of realizations and held patterns bursting everywhere. I was one happy teacher. I have it recorded and will make that available soon. I'll let you know when it's available. The Conference was held at a lovely estate in the country which was simply full of English charm. Maybe Dublin next year...we'll see what our friends cook up. ***** I've had some friends request that they would like to attend the TAT Healing Retreat only in October. So I've made it available for you to take the TAT Workshop only or the TAT Healing Retreat only. Each only is now $225 until October 1. October 1 on, they're $300 each or $550 for both. You can register now at www.unstressforsuccess.com. Seating is limited, so please register now if you plan to attend. If you would like to take the TAT Teacher's Day, I would like you to have taken two TAT Workshops, at least one of them with me, before taking the TAT Teacher's Day. If this presents any difficulty for you, please call me at (877) 828-4685 or (310) 378-7381. This is my wish so that you are attending with all the basic knowledge of TAT. This will enable me to support you on the fine points and any questions you have about what you already learned. I realized that I did not make this clear in my posting of the TAT Teacher's Day initially. I apologize for this oversight. Also, before you teach a group of professionals TAT for longer than an hour or two, I have a set of requirements I request that you fulfill. These requirements are so that you have lots of personal experience from which to teach and so that you feel ready to speak from personal experience about a wide range of TAT applications. If you'd like to know those requests, let me know. I give them out at the TAT Teacher's Day. ***** I'm just working on a new book about how to do TAT. If you have any questions that were not answered in the TAT Workshop 2000 video or the You Can Heal Now workbook, please let me know what they are. Send me an email. You will help me write a more complete book for future readers. My thanks in advance for your help. Also, if you have a TAT story you would like me to consider for the new book, please send it to me. Stories are the best for learning anything. And I'll enjoy reading them. ***** If you like, please join me for a minute of visualizing peace in the hearts of all beings today while you do the TAT pose. Sending prayers for the peace of all beings
and love to you,
Tapas
