First time I watched a Dave Childerley EFT video on youtube, I was swept away by his confidence, helpfulness, and warmth. He and Michelle, his wife, are my two favorite EFT success coaches. To my utter delight, Dave agreed to do an interview for CWL. Here it is!
LOLA:
Would you give us more detail about your new upcoming “Self Empowerment Show”: what inspired you to create it, what do you and Michelle hope to accomplish through such a show, and who is the audience you are targeting?
DAVE:
The new show is about helping people become self empowered by sharing the truth with them. The truth of who they are, why they feel the way they do and why self love is so important to the immune system and eliminating poor health. The new show will be interactive and will feature special guests that will answer viewers’ questions. My goal is to tell people the truth as fear is generated by lack of knowledge.
Empowered with new knowledge, people can change their lives fast using new easy-to-use energy techniques like EFT and the Huna. The show will appeal to everyone who feels emotions from children right up to the elder generations. The show is about teaching people to detach from the world drama and learning to take back their power to create love and peace within. It is my intention that the show will reach the masses with a global self-empowering message of truth and hope.
It is also my intention during 2009, that my new ‘self empowerment’ TV web show is broadcast on mainstream TV so that it really starts to reach the masses for free. This is my dream, to reach the masses with free truthful knowledge that empowers them from within. This is my challenge and I will succeed because I expect it to and I am going to allow it to happen with no resistance from me. This how I manifest my wants, I simply want them, allow them to unfold and do not offer any resistance to my wants flowing to me. I just believe they will come if I want them enough. It’s no magic, it’s just the self belief that I deserve and nothing is impossible in my world. If everyone thought this way, what a world we could create!
LOLA:
I love your website www.myGenie.tv as it is based on a concept of this great digital library where one can choose a video to tap along to from their living room. (It’s also worth mentioning that you are tackling a lot of different issues other EFT coaches are afraid to delve into (such as sexual dysfunction, etc…)) If one is a beginner, and wants to improve in few areas what would you recommend as a course for such an individual?
DAVE:
The myGenie.tv provides all the self help tools needed to break free from self limitations, fear, and poor health. We also help members with sexual challenges as I feel that this is a big issue in most people’s lives. I have even been criticised by other EFT coaches who feel offended that I should be so open and public with my offerings!! Simply, I do not care what they think as it’s none of their business. I only care what my members think and they are asking for help with these issues. Also, if I give all the answers out online, who will pay ‘$200 an hour plus’ for their best advise?
It’s important to remember that there are many success coaches and therapists out there who are not in truth with themselves and they see me as a real threat to their income.
These ‘old-school’ therapists see each new client as a revenue stream for so many sessions. During these sessions they intentionally stir up the emotional pot to extend the amount of therapy sessions they get paid to help with. This is the ‘standard-old-school’ therapy model that is dying, and is becoming obsolete because it was built on unethical foundations and was bound to fail as the people realised the scam. I believe now is the time for a change in how people develop themselves and myGenie.tv is here to provide the online low cost solution needed.
I always recommend that new members start with a video series called ’7 days to freedom’ that features the EFT or emotional freedom technique. This video series will educate you about you and quickly show you how to overcome your current situation so that you can restore balance and harmony to your life.
Each video recommends a period of days that the technique should be practised for quickest and best results although this is flexible. The members work at their own pace and can use the videos over and over again or until they feel better. Some people let go quicker than others so the site allows everyone to develop at their own rate that feels good for them. The ’7 days’ program is an excellent place to start and by the time you’re finished, you’ll know what your main success blocks are and can then select the appropriate video to work with.
New members also have access to the sites unique and very popular ‘Q&A forum’, where they can ask personal questions and receive fast responses from a team of qualified therapists and success coaches including myself.
LOLA:
How much of your success today can be contributed to practicing EFT on yourself?
DAVE:
All of my success today is down to me.
EFT was one of many external self help tools that I used to access my real power within. This is what most people miss in the self help process because they believe that the external tool, in this case EFT, will cure them and if it doesn’t they tell others that EFT does not work. EFT is only an external tool used to access your power within. If EFT doesn’t do it for you, find another tool and try that. Sooner or later you will find a tool that resonates with you and it will enable you to connect to your inner power so that you can start moving forward in your life.
My success is down to me investing the time to explore different techniques until I found one that resonated. I must say though, EFT is by far the most powerful tool out there right now. EFT helped me clear the bulk of my issues fast and I still use the technique every day to keep me on track. I see it like brushing my teeth, every day I take 5 minutes to balance my energy and to say thanks for my connection to myself.
In my world, no one external tool or self development technique is any better than the other. It is your thoughts about them that makes the difference to the results you get. That’s why everyone has different experiences. People try many different therapies but sooner or later they find one and their belief changes about what is possible for them and off they go saying that therapy is the best around.
Put simply, the therapy ‘technique’ is just a tool to help you to access your inner power to heal the self and to release inner negative emotions. If you have any thoughts that it will not work for you, it won’t. Your beliefs are far more powerful than any ‘technique’ outside of you. The real power to heal yourself is within you. The techniques just allow you to connect internally, release and move on.
(LOLA’s Note: Now you see why Dave’s absolutely best! I used to wonder how very successful people got where they are before EFT, but then I remember that everyone has their own tool to access the inner power. This power to live magical lives is already within us, and EFT is one of many tools to help us get there. If it doesn’t work, something else will. And whatever tool helps you do it is the tool for you, because all the success is already within. Our only task is to access it.)
LOLA:
What other techniques do you find crucial in self development?
DAVE:
An open mind and self love are the two crucial components to self development. Most people develop slowly because they hold themselves back by their own beliefs about what is possible for them. They believe that only external help can cure them. They slowly get there in the end but only after they realise that they held the power within all the time and that nothing external from them will cure them. An open mind allows the individual to be guided within for help and to move away from external guidance.
Self love is your key to unlock who you really are and spend the rest of your life in happiness and bliss. The human body is simple to understand… We all have 2 choices in life.
1) If you love yourself… you will be healthy, loving and in a permanent state of joy.
2) If you hate yourself or any part of yourself… you will become unhealthy, depressed and in a permanent state of fear and worry.
You have tried… ‘not loving yourself’ and it clearly doesn’t work so why not now try the opposite and see if that works better. Try loving yourself just the way you are and experience amazing miracles happen in all areas of your life.
LOLA:
Within the practice of EFT a lot of importance is being placed on being specific when resolving energy blocks. What are the benefits of tapping on the specific issue without necessarily wanting to go back to the first time that the issue came about?
DAVE:
When using any external tool such as EFT, it’s important to remember that no one needs to relive the original trauma again in order to release it and move forward. Your unconscious mind knows exactly what caused the original trauma and has been protecting you from reliving it for a good reason… you do not need to know! A higher part of you already knows and is prompting you from within to let go and move on. The way you feel now is a reminder from within that you need to let go of it in the now and move on.
When I help someone move on my videos, we would tap on something like…
‘Even though… my unconscious mind knows the root cause to my issue and has lovingly protected me from reliving it, I now choose to release how I feel now and let go of any past connections to it’
The way I teach is to educate the person about how their mind and energy system works so that they understand why they feel the way they do. With new knowledge about the self, one can break free from fear and self limitations and once again enjoy freedom, health and happiness.
LOLA:
How do you recommend EFT be introduced to skeptics, especially people you are certain could be helped so much with the techniques?
DAVE:
I do not recommend introducing EFT to skeptics who are not ready for change…. that’s why they are still skeptics! When someone becomes really sick of how they feel, they take action and do something about it. These are the people I help. I never try and introduce my teachings to anyone unless they ask for my help. I simply allow them to be as they are. I allow them to have their own experience and if they choose to be skeptical than that’s their choice. I give zero energy to skeptics as it’s a waste of time. I only give my energy to those who ask for it.
(LOLA’s Note: Brilliant point! I have trouble with this as I want to help everyone. However, not everyone is ready for EFT, and some people may never want to try it. Trying to persuade skeptics truly is an energy waster.)
LOLA:
Do you do EFT with your children? If yes, how do they explain the use of it to other children that may not have been introduced to it yet?
DAVE:
No, I do not use EFT with my son who’s 11 as he already realises that his power comes from within him and when he’s faced with a challenge, he simply chooses the desired outcome he wants using his mind and his point of focus. In my experience, children take to learning EFT very quickly. My son never used the technique because he has never needed to. He is very well balanced, healthy and doing well in his studies so I never felt the need to use it with him. He does know how to use the technique and has showed other children at his school how to use it. If he ever comes to me with an issue and asks for help, I would use EFT but only if he was unable to work it out in his mind first.
EFT is a great tool for kids to learn and should be taught at every school so that children could deal with emotional challenges as they go and not store them all up until they are older. They should be taught to… ‘Release & let go’ as emotional challenges arise.
(LOLA’s Note: I wish all parents would do what Dave does. A lot of unnecessary later heartbreak would be saved if we all learned how powerful we are when we are kids instead of ‘growing up’, ‘getting serious’, ‘facing the reality’…)
LOLA:
What are your and Michelle’s plans for this upcoming 2009 year as it relates to your self coaching, and development business?
DAVE:
Our plans for 2009 are simple. We intend to produce more and more videos for myGenie.tv and youtube that teach people how to become more and more self empowered.
I also intend speaking at global events throughout the year to promote the whole concept of ‘detaching from external drama and going within to take back your power’.
Michelle will also continue her work on the Genie whilst developing her new show on youtube about increasing the awareness of animal communication, and how we can create a closer relationship with all creatures.
