EPTworks™ is More by Sherry Hamilton

EPTworks more

More that just making a bad feeling go away. That point in time when you can't locate that pain you've carried and depended on for a point of reference is what I sought after.  For my own pain and now for others who I've helped walk through the EPTworks process for 20 years.  There is that definite point in the process when the pain ceases, and there is a relief. But what comes after the bad feeling or pain is gone?                 A new identity. One woman I worked on who had carried a constant headache for over 25 years, said, “I'll go home a new wife to my husband tonight.” She left in sort of a daze.  I was also amazed and intrigued that she never came to me again after that life-altering experience.  She paid her bill and left.  Emotions and the … [Read more...]

What Do You Really Do?

"In the last century more amazing things were found out than in any century before.  In this new century hundreds of things still more astounding will be brought to light.  At first, people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago." -Frances Hodgson Burnett from The Secret Garden. EPTworks is this amazing healing tool that I use to help others and I teach them to help others the same way.  While this amazing tool involves some crazy, unconventional things like magnets, muscle response testing and guided forgiveness----those things are just the "how" of what I do. How this magnificent healing takes place is really … [Read more...]

Transforming Worry, Anxiety and Stress into Peace and Calm

by Jenn Ocken Photography

The Serenity Prayer: Martin Rossman, M.D. Author of “The Worry Solution”, explains how to assess and direct your mental thoughts about worry so as to reduce unnecessary anxiety and stress.  He explains that imagination is a powerful, creative force.  Worry is that imaginative force gone awry or without properly guided direction.  Worry usually looks to the past or future to fuel it.  It can take over and direct our feelings cascading the body with chemical directives into fear, anxiety, and immobility.  When we understand how the brain learns and processes, then we can use that information to harness our own imaginative self and direct the feelings and the chemical responses that reduce anxiety and stress rather than encourage it.  This takes education of how the system … [Read more...]

A Flying Frozen Turkey and Forgiveness

A true-life example of the power of forgiveness made national news in 2005. Columnist Jay Evensen tells the story: How would you feel toward a teenager who decided to toss a 20-pound frozen turkey from a speeding car headlong into the windshield of the car you were driving? How would you feel after enduring six hours of surgery using metal plates and other hardware to piece your face together, and after learning you still face years of therapy before returning to normal--and that you ought to feel lucky you didn't die or suffer permanent brain damage? And how would you feel after learning that your assailant and his buddies had the turkey in the first place because they had stolen a credit card and gone on a senseless shopping spree, just for kicks? This is the kind of … [Read more...]

How To Heal After Divorce

divorce heal

"I hate him and I'm over it!  Unfortunately, I still have to deal with this man because we share children." For many, divorce doesn't make a difficult relationship any easier. Putting your marriage relationship to death, doesn't fix the pain, failure and frustration. Long after the divorce papers are signed, you may carry the emotional scars of being deeply hurt and disappointed by the one you loved, trusted and made babies with.  Like death, with divorce there is a real sense of loss; an emptiness, failure and broken heart. Three Steps to Heal After Divorce: 1) Let Go     Be willing to let go of what was: all the pain, blame, hurt, guilt, shame, failure and negative    emotions of hatred, anger and frustration.     Be willing to let go of what you hoped for: a future of … [Read more...]

Why Forgive?

Photo by Jenn Ocken

It is still amazing to me that there are people who seriously ask the question, "Why forgive?"  I suppose you may also ask "Why love?".  Forgiveness, after all, is an act of love.  There is a deep underlying sadness that prompts the question, "Why love?".  The deepest hurt in your life usually comes from those you love the most.  It is easy to understand why you would give up on love once you have experienced the pain from being hurt when you are loving someone.  Loving does not carry a promise that allows you to control the outcomes of your relationships.  People you love can still die, leave you or hurt you.  Without forgiveness, you are left with all the pain, loss and anger.  This negative energy takes up space that you could use to create more of what you really love and … [Read more...]

How Long Does It Take? by Sherry Hamilton

From Jenn Ocken Photography

  This is a frequent and valid question I get from perspective clients for EPTworks.  I want to know too.  How long before I jump off this “gerbil wheel” that keeps me spinning in the repetitive, self-destructive habit I've lived with and been tired out by for years?  My short answer is, “It depends.”  EPTworks seeks to do two main things for this problem:  Break, disconnect or neutralize the charge of old false beliefs you have held that make you keep going back to “do it again.” Establish a new belief for a new experience with a positive, life-sustaining charge connected to eternal, spiritual truths. Most people get the feeling in the very first session of EPTworks that this therapy is powerful and meaningful to this process.  Is that the … [Read more...]

I Can’t Forgive

cantforgive

There are things that can happen that are really hard in life.  I'm talking about the over-the-top-traumas that are devastating to the individual and to humanity itself.  Things like witnessing a murder at age four and then being raped at the burial site or having a family member brutally murdered for no reason.  To talk about forgiveness in these traumas can seem heartless, and uncaring.  The pain is so excruciating, and the thought of forgiving the offender seems impossible.  You must remind yourself that forgiveness is not just about "freeing the offender".  Forgiveness is about "freeing the one who was offended". Richard Mollica is an expert in helping people devastated by war crimes to heal and move on with their lives.  In his book, Healing Invisible Wounds, he explains the … [Read more...]

Raising the dead.

Photos from Jen Ocken Photagraphy

Now I read my Bible and I'm a good little christian girl. I believe that miracles happen but I stop short on raising the dead and maybe you do too.  I know I see in scripture how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead even after he had been in the tomb for a few days. Jesus also raised a little girl back to life who was dead.  In the Old Testament, I read how a widow came to Elijah and asked him to heal her son and Elijah came to her dead son and brought him back to life.  I can clearly see that God can raise the dead back to life. Ask yourself, what in your life has died.  It may be a relationship, a dream, a hope or maybe the child in you who believed in love.  God has the power to raise the dead back to life. Give yourself permission to pick up the dead that exists in your life … [Read more...]
