Tearing Up Vision Boards and About Writing Books

(and how to stop using the Law of Attraction against yourself)

The first book I wrote, Forbidden Emotions – The Key to Healing, came to me over a decade ago. Yet, I didn’t take any action on it for close to nine years. During that time, I told myself all kinds of silly things like,

“I must be blocking this.”
“I must not really want this.”
And lots of other judgmental things.

I remember reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert where she says ideas come but they move onto someone else if you don’t act on them. I felt bad about myself when I read that.

But then it came to me:
“It really doesn’t matter how long it takes me to write this book; no one is going to write this book the way I will.”

That thought brought me more peace.

However, this process showed me how I was using the Law of Attraction to beat myself up.

When something didn’t work out, I would have a thought, like:

“I must have attracted this sucky circumstance.”
“I must not have tapped enough or prayed enough, or anything enough and that’s why this is showing up in my life.”
“Oh my business isn’t working because I don’t have what it takes.”
“My relationships suck because I haven’t cleared out the thing that’s in my way.”
“My health is challenging because I’m doing something wrong, once again.”
“My money sucks, because I’m not focusing on my vision board enough.”

It wasn’t until a friend said to me, “Marti, I think you use the Law of Attraction like the Catholicism you grew up in… to beat yourself up.”

Whoa!!! At first I had some resistance. I first thought, “Well, the Law of Attraction is true.”

Whether it is or it isn’t, I can’t believe for one minute that we’re meant to walk around blaming, judging and causing ourselves more emotional harm.

One of the best days of my life, was the day I tore up my vision board. It had actually become my prison board, because every time I looked at it, I was beating myself up because not much of anything had come true for me, which really sucked.

My Mission and How I Help People

It’s my mission to help debunk the pithy personal development tools that I, along with so many people I see, used to torture myself with.

As an Emotional Fitness Coach, I help people who feel lost, stuck or down on themselves so they can see themselves differently and live in a new way.

Here’s how I do that (and a little bit of my resume):

• One of only six Certified “Master Yes Code™” Coaches in the world, which helped people to clear their inner conflicts so they are free to move forward with out self-sabotaging. (I like to call it subconscious self-protecting.)
• I got certified in EFT through EFT Universe back in 2012.
• Certified JAMP (Jungian Advanced Motor Processing) created my Dr. Lahab Al-Samarrai. This, like tapping, is a groundbreaking technique for healing painful memories and transforming limiting patterns and imprints in body, mind and spirit.
• I’ve always been fascinated by techniques and healing methods that address trauma and painful events stored in our cellular memory. Studying psychosomatics has helped me to develop an even deeper insight in how our body reflects everything we’ve experienced throughout the years.
• My signature ingredient in the tapping I teach and use with clients is my “What-If tapping,” which helps to bridge the brain to believing what’s possible.

I’m the author of two books… so far. (But you know this already.)

Forbidden Emotions – The Key to Healing

Wait, I’m starting to bore myself.

What you really need to know if that I felt really stuck and debilitated in my life and tapping provided the way through all the muck.

And my desire is to help you too.

How I Help People

What If:

I like to offer group programs as it makes it affordable to work in a group and you get the consistency of tapping for yourself. You also receive the “borrowing benefits” of working in a group. This means that as you tap along with others on their issues and tune into your own, you benefit from this and clear out your limiting beliefs as well. I find when we’re open to it, there’s always something to learn in a group.

Transformational Tapping Certification:

Because Tapping has helped me so much I want to help the helpers so we can change the lives of the people who are changing the world.

Pop-Up Classes:

I host a variety of classes when I’m inspired to teach on a certain topic. Classes are always announced to my email list, which you can join here.
