Fountain of Youth World Summit Excerpt with Dr. Carol Look, EFT Master and Abundance Expert

Kevin Gianni: What are some of the various things EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques can be used for besides weight loss and migraines?

Carol Look: With stress issues. With other anxieties. With fear of being successful in a relationship, or financially, or with business prospects. Lot of people stumble when it comes to attracting success and abundance.

People have all these limiting beliefs and why they can't, and why they shouldn't, and what their parents are going to say and what their colleagues are going to say, and what it's going to look like if they're wealthy.

So, so much gets in the way. So, limiting beliefs are wonderful to target with EFT.

Kevin: Um hmm.

Carol: So let's just take this example. If someone had this belief that it's not safe to be successful, because they'll get hurt, that's what you target with EFT. "Even though I'm afraid to be successful, it doesn't feel safe, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway." "Even though they hurt me last time, no wonder I don't want to be successful again."

And this happens, I work with a woman in her 50's. She had been chosen as a beauty queen in, let's say high school. She was afraid in her 50's to become more successful. She kept sabotaging herself over and over again, because she'll never forget what it felt like to stand out and to be gossiped about, because some of the girls said, "Oh, she didn't deserve it."

Kevin: Wow.

Carol: And that stayed with her. That stays in our energy. Maybe you heard something from a coach, or a father, or a mother, you know, maybe someone said, "Oh, you'll never be that successful." That phrase will resonate with you and will operate in your life.

When people say, "How do I know what my vibration for success is?" I say, "Look at your life. Look at where you are in your relationships. How's your love life going? Look at where you are with finances. Look at where you are in your living space. And your health, your body. What about your youthfulness? Do you feel 50 when you're 35? Not a good sign. Why would you run yourself into the ground? Why do you do too much for other people? Because you don't feel valued unless you give three gifts instead of one gift?" So there are many ways that we, I would say, rob ourselves of youth.

Kevin: Hmm.

Carol: So that's why I just think EFT is the greatest. Not to mention the fact that you can use EFT for wrinkles, and other health issues, and stress, and sleeping well, and insomnia. So, you can use it for all those issues around youth. But I just think it's wonderful to get the energy and the electricity moving in a healthy circulation and in a healthy fashion in your body.

Kevin: So you believe that, and you can correct me if I'm wrong. It seems to me like you're saying that you believe that, that wrinkles are a cause of some kind of energetic blockage. Not necessarily just an aging process. Or is it a little bit of both? What's your belief in that?

Carol: I would say it's a little bit of both. If you get taught, in our society, that you age at 25, this happens to your body. At age 30, this happens, and at 35, and at 40. And it keeps going right? And then your eyes fall apart at what? 50? If you believe that and you're taught that for years, you will absolutely make it come true, it becomes a waking hypnotic suggestion.

There are people in other countries, who, they don't watch the television, they don't see all these advertisements, they have menopause 20 years later than women in our culture do.

Kevin: Really?

Carol: They die at 100, not at 75. So, I believe, I believe, that what we believe and what we're taught and what we're told, is as powerful as what's basically patterned into our genes and all of that.

Now people can argue with that, that's fine. I'm not a medical doctor. My doctorate's in hypnosis. But I have watched people change their energy and change their lives completely with this system.

Kevin: Hmm. And I think this is a good tie in now, because we talked with Bob Doyle, in the beginning of this event. I think this is a good tie in to bring EFT and the law of attraction together. And just give me an explanation of why you think this law of attraction works and why EFT is a great way to bring it in to reality for people.

Carol: Well, the law of attraction does work. I believe that fully. Here's the problem. People are telling everyone to have happy thoughts and do law of attraction and isn't this wonderful? And it's not working.

Kevin: Right.

Carol: Why? Because they have profound resistance, or fear, or blocks, or a conflict to getting what they want. So when you're told, "Oh, just have a happy thought instead, because you're going to get what you want when you have a happy thought!" It doesn't work for humans.

Kevin: Okay.

Carol: Some people can do it. And when Bob Doyle asked me to do a conference with him, a workshop with him, because he gets that EFT is the missing piece to the law of attraction, I was thrilled. I thought, 'This is it. This is the match.' So law of attraction works. However, if you're resistance is too high, it will take you too long to put on a happy face and try to feel good, when your life stinks, and your spouse has left you, and the bill collectors are at the door, it's not easy to say, "Well, I'm pretty grateful." And that's what a lot of people are; they're basically simplifying the law of attraction and you know, I think contributing to more self blame. You know, telling people, "Well, you're just focused on the wrong thing." Well, try being focused on a good thing if your kids don't have any food on the table.

Kevin: Um hmm.

Carol: Try being focused on the right thing, when you've just been fired.

Kevin: Right.

Carol: Okay? It's very, very challenging. So what do you have? You have resistance, you have conflict, you have basic human emotions and vibrations. What we do with EFT, is target those. Let's say the issue is not anxiety. Let's say it's hurt. Let's say you were really hurt in a past relationship. And it keeps bumping into you when you try to have a new relationship.

You can't think that away. It's not working. That's why thousands and thousands and thousands of people, frankly are complaining a little bit about law of attraction and trying to find a way to help it work. So what you do with that hurt, or anxiety, is you reduce it, and neutralize it, and get over it, and resolve it with EFT. And then the law of attraction is working, it's always working, but it's working in the direction you want it to work.

Kevin: Okay.

Carol: When someone tries not to think of something, they're trying so hard not to feel how poor they really are.

Kevin: Yeah.

Carol: Guess what? Guess where their focus is?

Kevin: Right.

Carol: So this is a profoundly excellent match if you ask me. I've really never seen two tools work so beautifully together hand in hand.

Kevin: And when a bill collector comes to the door, or someone is 50 pounds overweight, that's, I mean, physically a bill collector at the door. I mean that's a physical reality, correct?

Carol: Yeah.

Kevin: If there's a bill collector at the door, I don't know if we'd recommend EFT while he's at the door to make him go away.

Carol: Well, I would recommend EFT for the question "how did you get in that situation?" "How afraid are you of your finances?"

Kevin: Yeah.

Carol: "What are you worried about as far as your confidence in being able to pay the bills?"

Kevin: Right.

Carol: "What are the thoughts that keep going around and around that are not useful and not resourceful?"

Kevin: Right.

Carol: You know, and the person who's 50 pounds overweight, you can't get thin when you feel fat.

Kevin: Okay.

Carol: Because it's about vibration. You can't get wealthy and financially stable when you feel poor. So you've got to use EFT, and other gains, and vibrational switches so that you can feel what you want.

Kevin: Okay. So you can use EFT, I hear a lot of people say, "I feel fat."

Carol: Yes. And they do. And I understand that.

Kevin: Uh huh.

Carol: But you can't get thin when you feel fat. You have to feel, and imagine, and pretend, and visualize more often than not: "Hey, I know what it could feel like if I got to my goal weight and fit into that dress!" "Hey, I know what it would feel like if I had enough money to take my family out to dinner without worrying."

Kevin: Uh huh.

Carol: You've got to feel what you want. And just sometimes, because we're human, this is not about blame, everybody. We are so human, we have thoughts, we have feelings, we've been taught certain phrases by our families, we've been taught how to think, and many of the thoughts are not useful, and are very degrading of ourselves or of other people.

Kevin: Hmm.

Carol: And that's where EFT is so exciting. You can shift your focus with EFT. So if law of attraction is about focus, what you focus on, you get, like attracts like, energy attracts energy, etcetera. If law of attraction is about focus, and you can change your focus by using EFT, that's why it's such a perfect match.

You want to be able to have your focus on the gratitude, and the excitement, and possibility, and optimism, and when you're not there, when your vibration is about pessimism, or pain, then you need to change that. But you first have to acknowledge it. And all of these law of attraction people are saying, "Oh, no, no. Forget it. Ignore it. Pretend it's not there." That's not working.

Kevin: Right.

Carol: If you pretend something isn't there, you're actually working harder and spending a lot of energy on it. Does that make sense?

Kevin: Yeah. This will zap it.

Carol: Yes.

Kevin: Wow.

Carol: So EFT zaps it and changes your focus and changes your energy and helps you see what is going well. Even if ten things are going poorly in your life and one thing's going well. We want you to focus on possibility, hope, feeling better, just feeling a little bit of relief. Yes, the bill collector came to the door last night, and how are you doing today? How did you treat your daughter today? Yes, the bill collector came to the door last night, and how did you do at work today? Yes, you're overweight, and you're working on it. How do you feel about yourself? Because you've taken the bull by the horns and you're now doing something about it. Yes, the finances aren't working so well. But, what did you do? You gave yourself time and permission today to tap on blocks you might have to achieving success and financial abundance and you got an inspirational idea.
