This is one of several thought provoking questions that Silvia Hartmann asked her audience at the opening presentation of the 2014 AMT Energy Conference in Eastbourne.
On the SUE (Subjective Units of Experience) scale which ranges from -10 to +10, where:
- -10 is where a person is experiencing an extreme amount of stress causing one’s energy to collapse,
- 0 is no stress and
- +10 is optimal energy flow where a person experiences unconditional love.
Silvia says that anyone who is experiencing intense stress levels and is at the lower end of the SUE scale may experience panic attacks, self mutilation, aggression, addiction and rage to name but a few. Unfortunately in our society many people are hungry for love and do experience severe stress so maybe they do feel trapped by the circumstances of their lives and may behave like caged animals. Silvia says, that our true nature is at +10 but this is only 0 of a much higher scale of probable infinite possibilities on which we can reach our true potential.
Silvia leading some Positive EFT
Our society is very focussed on our minds and bodies but neglects our emotions. Silvia says, we probably spend more attention to brushing our teeth than attending to our emotions. Here are some ideas that she explored with the audience to increase our levels of energy on the SUE scale:
- Dance
- Sing
- Watch the sun set
- Share food with good friends
- Laugh
- And of course EFT!
At the end of her talk she invited us to mingle and introduce ourselves to each other which set the scene for a warm, friendly, loving and supportive energy which continued to grow as the weekend progressed.
Much of the conference was made up of break-out sessions which made it hard to decide which to attend but in the end I surrendered and trusted that I was exactly where I was meant to be! Here are some of my favourites:
Traumas created at the start of life are where our deepest beliefs are created
Sharon King
Since one of my passions is working with birth related issues I was very much looking forward to finally meeting Sharon and hearing more about the wonderful work she does with Matrix Birth Reimprinting. The traumas created at the beginning of life are where our deepest beliefs are created and patterns are set. Matrix Birth Reimprinting is a powerful and fast technique which amongst other things, releases trauma and beliefs created at birth and recreates a healing version of a gentle entrance to the world and connection with mum.
One of the aspects of the talk that stood out for me was the lovely EFT rounds, each starting with these setup statements:
“I may have not had perfect parents – they were doing the best they could with the knowledge and understanding they had at the time and I allow myself to find peace with this.”
“I may not have been a perfect parent – I was doing the best I could with the knowledge and understanding I had at the time and I allow myself to find peace with this.”
“I may not have had the perfect birth experience, I’m open to the possibility that I can reconnect with my parents (or my child), and have the perfect birth and bonding experience for me.”
Sharon spoke about the importance of letting your baby know that if you are experiencing a negative emotion while you are pregnant or with a baby, that you tell your baby that this emotion is yours, not theirs and that they are loved and safe. Modern research shows that babies inside the womb experience everything that the mum does and can’t differentiate between their experience and their mum’s.
When I do EFT sessions with pregnant women, I invite the mother-to-be to place her hands on her belly and tell her baby:
“Dear little one.
This feeling that you are experiencing is mine not yours
I am taking good care of myself.
You are safe.
You are wanted.
I love you very much and am so happy that you have come into my life (if this is true).”

Life Beyond Fear
Ted Wilmont
Ted talked about a common thread of fear that he noticed arises in many of the thousands of his clients. He says that this fear originated at the moment of human consciousness where our perception was that of aloneness and separated from all that is. In that moment we created the belief “I am separate”.
This belief and feeling of separation may involve feeling of not fitting in or belonging and isolation or being alone giving rise to beliefs that stay with us for the rest of our lives unless we can release them and he uses Matrix Reimprinting to access and release this belief. He is running a course called “Life Beyond Fear“ to release these core fears.
The part I really enjoyed about his talk was his role play of the Matrix Reimprinting scenario in which he played dad, someone else was mum and another woman, the small child observing her dad shouting at her mum about spending too much money. The “child” shared how she felt scared, vulnerable and unsafe witnessing her “parents” arguing. Then he brought in the adult child to witness this memory and then Ted became the Matrix practitioner and got the adult child to tap on her “echo” – a Matrix Reimprinting term for the adult’s inner child of that age who experienced the argument. We were able to identify beliefs that this child may have created as a result of this experience such as “The is not enough”, “Its my fault”, “I have to keep the peace”, “Men aren’t safe”, “Women are weak”. Matrix can release these beliefs so they no longer hold true in your life and create a new version of the memory with new beliefs.
Factory in Indonesia uses EFT
Sam Thorpe
Even though Sam’s presentation started late so had less time available than she had planned for, it still stands out as one of the most illuminating talks and the process she shared was very powerful leaving me feeling grounded, calm and centred with a desire to know more. Luckily I had the joy of chatting to her the night before so got to hear more about all the amazing work she is doing with 500 staff of a factory in Indonesia with EFT and Heart Math. Sam draws on her knowledge of Heart Math and Meta-Health to create Heart Focused Healing which is “a brand new heart centred process that uses heart coherence and brain balancing to bring the human energy system into energised flow state to release trauma and stress”.
Years of asthma disappear in 20 minutes
Richard Flook
I was particularly looking forward to meeting Richard as Peter Donn, my husband, trained with him in Meta-Medicine and holds him in high regard. Richard started his talk by giving us some grave news:
The medical system is failing and non-medical practitioners are not allowed to use the words healing or diagnosis. The client is not allowed to say what condition they have. If they do, you are part of the medical model. This holds true in North America currently and Richard there are changes happening in Europe that may mean the same.
So he got around the problem by creating a new system called The ACE Advanced Clearing Energetics Strategy. Richard says that when the word technique is used in a healing sense, it should be avoided!
He empowers his clients by telling them that he has never healed anyone except himself and that he is the navigator to helping the client heal herself.
His system draws on the Meta-Health idea that a Trauma or as Richard calls it – UDIN( Unexpected, Dramatic, Isolating, No coping strategy) moment – can trigger a disease.
Richard describes the ACE system is based on the idea that “a set of strategies that help a person find, understand and clear out the underlying ‘stuck energy'” created as a result of a UDIN moment that causes health problems.
To demonstrate the process, Richard asked a member of the audience, Sally-Ann Soulsby, with a health issue to volunteer to have an ACE treatment on stage. He worked on her asthma by identifying her UDIN moment that occurred prior to the asthma developing, triggering a mini asthma attack by gently provoking her into re-experiencing the feelings she did during that UDIN moment. He then used higher vibration energy to clear the UDIN moment. When he asked her how she felt about her UDIN moment, she could not get upset about it any more and her breathing was free! This all took about 20 minutes! Sally-Ann says:
“I noticed that night I did not need to use my inhaler nor the following morning. This was unheard of as I had to use a steroid inhaler night and morning for years. Richard warned me that the asthma might get worse for a short period and this happened the following evening. I trusted that this was just the energy clearing so I resisted taking my inhaler and sure enough the following morning my chest was clear and I even did an early morning run with no problem at all. I am so delighted.”
I look forward to trying out ACE for myself by following Richard’s free download.
The Joy of Training
Sandra Hillawi
I chose this talk as I have met Sandra several times at conferences and chatted to her. Given that she has years of experience in the field of training I was looking forward to picking up some ideas and hearing her wisdom. What I came away with were not only good practical ideas which we did some positive EFT on to increase the energy of making them happen but an overwhelming sense of Sandra’s humbleness mixed with a powerful drive and passion for her work without ego. She finished her talk with a beautiful and touching video of her successes which I hope will go online so everyone can be inspired by her. A day after hearing her talk I have already put some of her ideas into action – thank you Sandra.
There are so many other things I could share but these were my highlights along with meeting lovely people doing amazing things in their world with EFT. One of these is Peter Leakey – the retired head of NHS Derbyshire department of Clinical Health Psychology. He shared with me that a team of 12 psychologists have been using energy psychologies including EFT for 15 years in his department as well as in Learning Disabilities on the NHS! He says “It was always heart warming that we attracted so many psychologists willing to challenge the current climate of CBT “. Fantastic news.
Finally, the location and weather were the icing on the cake – I think this photo says it all!
