2. WHAT YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON

[from the Afterword of the just-released book The Heart & Soul of EFT & Beyond: A Soulful Approach to The Emotional Freedom Techniques and Holistic Healing]  

"Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you." – Frank Tyger

You have covered a lot of territory since you first opened this e-book. Having come this far, how
can you digest and assimilate what you have read? And where can it take you?

We hope that this will be a book that enhances your life. This of course is up to you. We realize
our readers have a wide range of backgrounds, from healing novices to professional healers, along
with an equally wide range of dreams and goals. Your unique perspective will determine how you 
apply EFT and the other methods presented here. If you have a solid foundation in these or other holistic modalities, you may already be well on your way. This e-book may provide a few new gems
to add to your toolbox.

If you are new, we want you to know that you have all of the gifts you need to succeed. As an 
example of humble beginnings, we want to share a little about our first experiences in the areas
of holistic and energetic healing.

A COMPLETE BEGINNER

When we embarked on our journey into healing years ago, we took a Reiki (hands-on healing) 
class. We were both fascinated with the human energy system and the possibility of making 
powerful changes energetically. Phillip had some experience in this area, and he felt comfortable
with his ability to learn more. 

Jane was much less so. At the time, she was an architect, so concepts of holistic and energetic healing were new and foreign to her well-developed logical mind. She felt inept, not ever believing 
she could feel energy or play a positive role in anyone’s healing. But with an avid interest in the 
subject, she wanted to give it a try. Unknown to herself, Jane was following her soul’s heartfelt joy.

At the first Reiki class, Jane regarded herself as one of the least gifted participants. She was 
enjoying herself so much, though, that she didn’t really care. She was happy to learn the methods 
and practice with the group. Afterwards, she had more opportunities to practice and continued with more Reiki classes. Each new technique opened more doors in her mind and added more methods
to her toolbox.

Over the next year or two, we continued taking different classes, learning methods related to 
spiritual healing, hypnotherapy, and more. Jane continued to enjoy each new skill and received 
powerful healings, still focusing more on her interest in the subject than on her personal performance. 
A year or two after taking the first Reiki class, she suddenly noticed that many positive things had occurred.

She recognized that she could now feel subtle energy as tangibly as she could solid materials. 
She also had an understanding of the energy system and its relationship to different qualities of awareness we have in our bodies, emotions, minds, and spirits, along with ways to clear blockages
on all levels.

In a way, Jane’s abilities crept up on her almost without notice. Embarking on this new direction provided a fundamental shift that has transformed both of our lives and opened new doors to a 
beautiful future.

FOLLOWING YOUR HEARTFELT JOY

We share this story with the wish that this book will encourage you to follow your heartfelt joy and excitement wherever they may lead you. You probably have already been experimenting with some
of the methods in this e-book. To follow your heartfelt joy, we suggest you focus on the ones that interest you most. 

If all of this is new, don’t focus on every detail of the techniques or on doing everything right. They 
are, after all, simply means to an end and it is the healing journey that is most important. Just 
keep exploring the methods and have fun with them.

The theory and knowledge in this e-book are fascinating, but the magic comes with the actual application of the tools. The most important element to anyone’s success with holistic and 
energetic healing is practice, practice, practice. Over time, as Jane discovered, the techniques 
become secondary, as you learn to simply flow with the healing experience and appreciate the profound nature of the human soul. 

While setting some goals, perhaps in writing, on how to proceed with learning, also let your intuition guide you. You might want to practice a certain technique regularly for a specific period, say for a 
week or a month, and then move on to another area.

The level of healing and resulting soulful insights you can experience with these techniques are 
virtually limitless. The opportunity is great; you just have to provide the commitment. With application will come wisdom. If we or any of the EFT experts in this volume can be of assistance, feel free to contact us.

Remember you are not only helping yourself and those around you. You are contributing to making
the world a more peaceful and harmonious place.
