This 18-minute meditation invites you to journey with the acorn as it becomes the mighty oak, a living symbol of patience, potential, and enduring strength.

Drawing on Celtic and English reverence for the oak, Native American wisdom of the acorn’s nourishment, and the Norse link to Thor’s enduring power, you are guided to root into courage and growth.

Connect with your inner resilience and ancestral knowing, trusting that within you lies the same steady unfolding—from small beginnings to grounded, unshakable strength.

David Feinstein Phd, a leading researcher in the field of EFT has now published a comprehensive infographic drawing on more than 300 peer-reviewed clinical trials about EFT, often referred to as Tapping.

This ten page infographic describes in an easy-to-understand way the mechanism of how Tapping works.

As many of you know firsthand I use EFT frequently with the people I support in consultations. It’s great to now be able to refer to this guide for those of you who like me, like to understand how ‘stuff’ works.

👉 I encourage you to have a look, and if you like you can download a pdf version to have for yourself. Here's the link:

https://energytapping.com/how-tapping-works-infographic/

A big thank you to EFT International for sharing this resource and helping me stay up-to-date with what's going on in the field.

We always have a recommendation here in the Helpful newsletter from a reader, and this time it’s Annie who wants to recommend a book about gratitude, saying:

❝This is deeply a moving collection of a 100 powerful stories gathered by the author Rev Richard Carter, who’s an associate Vicar, during his two decades of community ministry.

I highly recommend this book as one to dip into as the sections are short and easy to read, showing us daily blessings, and giving hope and joy.
I found it to be an invitation to rediscover joy, even when I am having the hardest of times.❞

You can find the book here: https://lnkd.in/eBe79_Q4
