This course is geared for Muslims although it is open to people of other faiths as well.  It is about the use of Energy Psychology, in this case Emotional Freedom Techniques or E.F.T. to raise our vibration regarding money and many of the issues related to it.

In the Quran, we learn that the outer is determined by the inner, e.g. Quran 13:11, and hence if we want to make a permanent change in any area – in this case our finances – we need to make sure that change happens within us.

We will be using E.F.T. to change our HAL, i.e. our thoughts and feelings, around money.  First by targeting our current vibration around money (income, savings, debt) and then targeting issues related to Rizq (provision) and our Sa`y (actions towards making money & acquiring wealth).

I have the program for the 6-week teleclass ready but the contents are adaptive to the participants’ needs and what they bring to the table.

Below is a list of the candidate topics that we might target during our teleclass.

What is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple, self-administered acupressure technique that can be used for removing negative emotions and removing disempowering beliefs. It's been used for a multitude of issues, ranging from fears such as public speaking, negative emotions such as anger and frustration, and even post traumatic stress disorder. It is also a highly valuable tool in overcoming marketing and business fears.

I don’t know E.F.T.: Can I still join?
Yes.  You don’t need to be an expert with E.F.T. to benefit from this teleclass.  You are expected though to watch few video clips about E.F.T. [totalling about 20 minutes], and to have a chart of the tapping points handy during the teleclass [I will be sending one to you].

Teleclass Contents
Here is the list of candidate topics that we might cover during the teleclass.  Again, I will adapt the topics to the participants’ needs.

• Identify and raise your current vibration around money
• Create a positive intention for making money
• Debts and Savings (or the lack thereof) carry different types of energy
• Early money paradigms
• Financial Traumas
• Miscellaneous
-- Isn’t it materialistic to go after money?
-- It is greedy to want to be rich when there are many people suffering
-- I can’t be spiritual and rich
-- Rich people are basically greedy and crooked
-- I don’t deserve to be rich
-- Lots of money bring lots of headaches (not to mention that I will be envied)

Sitting there at the softly lit reception hall, surrounded by powerful and elegant people, Amal felt this was the night she had been waiting for all her life. As the newest junior partner in the firm, at last she had been invited up to the chief executive officer's lavish estate for his semi-annual big bash. Corporate giants from all over the world made it a point to attend these parties, and only the "who's who" received invitations. She had heard that here was where the real deals were put together. These men and women were the power brokers, and she wanted to be a part of it all.

Once upon a time in a land with no rhyme
There lived a people in darkness, imprisoned by time.
Their lives were filled with sadness and fears
And, oh, how they cried many rivers of tears.

To describe them wasn’t an easy task
The first one looked the same as the last.
They were selfish and rude, all were ready to burst.
Each had the same name, “Me First,” “Me First.”

Over and over again, like the birds,
They quickly repeated their two favorite words.
“Give me, Give me,” they’d chant from the time they awoke
So they were known far and wide as the “Gimme Gimme” folk.

They had huge heads
Which made dents in their beds
Because rather than listening to their hearts
They only listened to their heads.

We all know what a financial bank account is. We make deposits into it and build up a reserve from which we can make withdrawals when we need to. An Emotional Bank Account is a metaphor that describes the amount of trust that's been built up in a relationship. It's the feeling of safeness you have with another human being.  If I make deposits into an Emotional Bank Account with you through courtesy, kindness, honesty, and keeping my commitments to you, I build up a reserve. Your trust toward me becomes higher, and I can call upon that trust many times if I need to. I can even make mistakes and that trust level, that emotional reserve, will compensate for it. My communication may not be clear, but you'll get my meaning anyway.

Discipline is only a by-product.  If you start with it, it will only get you a short distance.  Like a battery, in the short run, it will work.  A battery is useful but is short lived.  Unless this battery is re-charged, it is useless.

Enthusiasm works better than discipline.  Enthusiasm is more of an emotional state.  It is a spiritual commitment, a loving surrender to a Higher Calling.  And in that sense, it can never run dry.  It is an ongoing energy supply tapped into the flow of life itself.

I once came across a story of a man who was struggling: a writer who wasn’t making any money and who once met Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM.

Thomas Watson told him “I know what the secrets of success are, are you interested to know?”.  And the writer said “Definitely, yes.  I want to know the secrets of success”.  Thomas Watson then said  “Double Your Failure Rate”.

Thomas Watson knew that the more attempts one makes at living his dreams, following his passion, and acting quickly on his ideas, the more likely that he will achieve success sooner.

T. Watson knew and the writer quickly learnt from him that failure is just feedback.

So the more you fail, the more feedback you get,
and the more efforts you make,

Michael Neill - a renowned success coach and a licensed master NLP trainer- once wrote:  “I was once hired to model the problem-solving strategies of a top Silicon Valley troubleshooter. When I asked him how he would begin to solve an extremely difficult problem, his surprising answer was, "I never solve extremely difficult problems. If I find a problem is too difficult, I know I've defined it wrong."

While I marveled at his reply, it reminded me of one of my favorite stories from the world of psychotherapy.

Jay Haley, one of the most prominent therapeutic innovators of his time, was reportedly asked at a conference where he was presenting how he would treat a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Haley paused to reflect before answering.

Below is a link to a 47-minute animated presentation about how money is generated nowadays and how banks function.  It was done by Paul Grignon and it is both entertaining and educational.  I recommend that you watch it in full (the 5 parts).  It shows how money is generated as a debt and not as a value and hints to why this leads to an UNSUSTAINABLE monetary system; the one the world is currently suffering from.  At the end, there is a brief discussion on how people can function in an interest-free monetary system.

No wonder all religions forbade usury (known as Riba by Muslims).

When you are asking another to do something for you or to give you something, are you requesting or are you demanding?  Here is the difference:

Request- this is what I want of you, and my own well-being and my care, respect and love for your is neither diminished nor enhanced by your response to my request.
