I believe that most of us have a safe, calm inner space that we go to for refuge when the world moves too fast around us. The intention of this blog is to share these peaceful spaces and creative insights so that others may be inspired.
I am a life coach who is focused upon teaching stress reduction techniques. One method is to explore the Space for Peace that others visit- be it through nature, breathing, envisioning or prayer. I invite you to share your place- real or imagined, your physical practice, or the words or phrases that are personally empowering.

A fellow EFT practioner Jonas Slonaker offers his method.
Part of my regiment for staying healthy and free of cancer or other disease is meditation along with prayer, taking good care of myself and, of course, the practice of EFT or tapping!
I had Prostate Cancer nine years ago and my latest PSA was 0.4. It doesn’t go much lower than that. I feel very grateful for EFT. Concerning my daily meditation, I have discovered that using EFT helps me to reach a deep meditative state much quicker. Here’s how it works.
When I meditate, I sit until my mind is quiet, until I am in the “Power of Now” as Eckhardt Tolle puts it. Most of the time, my mind quiets down in a short period of time, but sometimes it dredges up conflicts, resentments, worries, etc. When that happens I often use EFT on the issue at hand and am able to release it.
Now and then, my mind will pop with multiple rapid fire issues. When that happens, I put my finger to my mouth and make the SHHH sound. I continue to SHHHHH while I tap on the EFT points and my mind becomes quiet and I enter into a deep meditative state; I am infused with and surrounded by bright white light.
Hugs to you.

I have a concrete bunker in a forest surrounded by trees on a hill overlooking a wide peaceful river with mountains in the background. As I am about to enter, I place my hand upon the hand pad and a white light surrounds me and engulfs me removing all negative energy and thoughts in my body and replacing them with positive energy and thoughts. I enter my bunker and sit in a huge
brown leather chair that is so restful that I want to
fall asleep.
One wall stretches as high as I can see; on this wall, hangs pictures of all the people I have helped down thru the years. As I help people one by one, their picture automatically appears on my wall. As I talk to people, if I sense fear or anger in them, I raise my hand and God brings white light thru my hand, thru my entire body, thru the phone to make that other person feel relaxed and more comfortable.
I spend hours on the telephone every day making people feel better about themselves and their lives. As I am about to leave my bunker, another strong white light engulfs me, strengthening my positive energy and my positive self-beliefs.

My inner space is just that … an inner space. Picture a peach cut in half with the pit removed. That’s how I see my body. I then am able to crawl into that “pit space” and just BE! I am claustophobic so the space remains open. It is dark, warm, peaceful and silent.
EFT is new to me and I am still working hard to quiet my mind … very difficult for me. Too many different thoughts crash through at lightining speed and my brain feels like it is at war with my body. IF I am able to get into my inner space (and I can’t always get there), I can calm down, let the world flow beside me without feeling I am the person responsible for keeping my little part of the world spinning. The tranquility that follows a session with my “inner being” is wonderful. It is frustrating that I can’t always get there.
I am also working hard with the comment “I truly love and accept myself”. I rarely think of “myself”, my world is the people I MUST take care of … husband, children, grandchildren, mother, etc. … at this point I can say the phrase, but I am still working hard to make myself believe it.
The best part of EFT is that I can do it anywhere and at any time for any circumstance. I can’t always get to the inner sanctum, but I can at least calm myself so I am able to think through the situation rather than blasting my way through. I see this as a continuing process and the work will never end, but having peace within myself is a new feeling for me … even if it lasts only for short periods of time.

My mental workshop is a simple white, brick building located on a hilltop overlooking a peaceful, winding river through a dense forest. My workshop blends in naturally with the surroundings. I am very grateful to God for my workshop, and I can go to workshop anytime I want to.
To enter my workshop, I simply speak. When I do, a bright, yellow light completely envelops me, removing all negativity from me & replacing it with so much positive energy that I feel so refreshed & energized. I walk down five steps and enter a room stretching the length of a football field and as high as a cathedral. I am so grateful to God for this. My workspace has a long dark brown oak table with four different computers on. I have a huge brown leather chair which makes feel so comfortable & ready to go to work.
I see my two partners also working; their strengths are my weaknesses; together we make an awesome, daunting team. Our mission is to be servants of God, helping as many people as we can to achieve their dreams & goals. We complement each other perfectly. When we speak to each other, it is as if we are face-to-face even if distance separates us. We lose sense of time, never getting tired, always feeling refreshed.
We love & accept each other completely & unconditionally.
On one wall is a whole library of motivational material continually being updated instantly as new information is generated as well as being cataloged perfectly. Whenever we need any information, all we need to do is speak & automatically we have that information at our fingertips.
Another wall contains pictures of all the pictures of individuals and families our world-wide teams have helped. As each person is helped, his or her picture instantly goes on that wall. The wall automatically expands higher to accomodate all who have been helped. My partners and I are so grateful to God for what we have and for what we can do.
Another wall lists all the groups & individuals we have donated our time & treasure to. This wall also expands upward automatically with each new name added & is also stories high. Each partner realizes how blessed by God we are & contribute more than 20% of earnings back to God.
When we speak to our teams and others, we are blessed to know what to say & how to say it so that other person feels positive about themselves & their situations. We conduct ongoing conferencing with our teams helping them & their clients achieve their dreams & goals.
Before I leave my workshop another bright, yellow light envelops me, refreshing & motivating me with so much positive energy that I feel invincible.
I am so grateful to God for His Unconditional Love for me.

John, this is a picture of a workroom (world) that everyone would enjoy working in. There would be acceptance and assistance for each one. I know I believe (somewhere down deep) that this is how the world really has worked before. We await its return. Thanks for Holding the Vision and describing it so beautifully.
