Blessings:
I hope you had an amazing, enjoyable summer! I can't believe autumn is almost here!
As I begin this newsletter, I wanted to remind you to love yourself as much as you love everyone else. You are just as important as others. Remember, if you don't love yourself and give yourself the time you need to unwind and have fun, you won't be able to be there for others. So, do something amazing this week--- something YOU enjoy! Okay?
---------------------------------------------
Every month I share ways to help you heal as you are going through the grieving process. For this month, I'd like to share an article I wrote for my web site (www.karennoe.com) on how moving energy by "tapping" on acupuncture points can help you to heal your grief.
How "Tapping" Works to Heal Grief
Your deceased loved ones are at peace, and the message I receive again and again is that they want you to move on and be happy again. Yet, after a loss, it may feel as if you will never find the happiness you once had. You might be carrying around feelings of guilt and longing, as well as sadness, which make it very difficult to move on. When you need to release yourself from these debilitating negative emotions fast, I recommend you try the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) - also known as tapping.
Negative energy tends to get trapped in certain acupuncture points in your body. Just like massaging a tight muscle to release physical tension, you can tap these points to release the energy of negative emotions and get immediate relief.
Here's how to do it:
- Narrow down which emotion you want to get rid of - grief, helplessness, regret, anger, sadness, fear, etc. Then, rate the intensity of that emotion from one to ten, with ten being the strongest. Write down your rating at the beginning so you can rate it again after a few rounds of tapping, allowing you to check your progress.
- Start with a statement to prepare your energy system for tapping, such as: "Even though I miss [loved one's name] so much, I want to experience peace within myself again." Whatever your statement may be, begin it with "even though," add what you want to tap out, and end it with "I want to experience peace within myself again."
- You're now going to find sore spots on your chest, between your shoulders and at the bottom part of your neck. (You're looking for an area where you may be storing a lot of your grief).
- Rub these sore spots with your thumbs and repeat your statement three times. The degree of soreness is an indication of how much negative emotion is in that area. The more you rub the areas during tapping sequences, the less sore they will be, which means you are literally rubbing and tapping away the negative energy stored there.
- Next, as you are bringing up your negative emotion, use your index and middle fingers of both hands, and tap seven times on each of the following points. (You have to feel the emotion in order to release it.)
- The inside of your eyebrows
- The outside of your eyes
- Under your eyes
- Under your nose
- Under your lips
- Under the collarbone
- Thymus points
- Under your arms (under the bra line, if you are a woman)
- Outside of your legs, in between the knees and hips
- Outside portion of your legs, about two inches below your knees
- The "karate chop" points of both of your hands together
- In between your pinky and ring finger, on the top of one hand. Repeat on the other hand.
While you're tapping, feel free to shout, cry, or do whatever you feel is necessary to release any negative emotions you've been holding on to. You can even change your phrases to whatever comes into your consciousness with each new tapping location.
When you've finished your first round of tapping, do another round. Then, take a deep breath, and rate your current emotional intensity from one to ten. Your number should be lower than when you first started, but if not, do another round of tapping using a different set of words.
Time and time again I'm able to see firsthand just how much tapping helps!
Try it, and you will see what I mean. (A more detailed description of this technique, along with illustrations are found in my book, "Your Life After Their Death: A Medium's Guide to Healing After a Loss.")

Angel Quest Events for September
If you have any questions about these events or anything else, please feel free to email me at [email protected], or call me at 201-825-4493.
The Angel Quest Radio Show
How Energy Healing Helps Those Who Are Grieving
and
Moving Forward After the Passing of a Partner
on the Next Angel Quest Radio Show
Tune in to the next Angel Quest Radio Show on September 6 at 1:05pm eastern time on www.wrcr.com. We'll be talking about how energy healing can help those who are going through the grieving process and how those who have lost their partners can move on with their lives.
My first guest will be Brett Bevell, who is the Staff Program Manager at the Omega Institute in Rhineback, NY. He is a Reiki Master and author of several books, including Energy Healing for Everyone, New Reiki Software for Divine Living, The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement, and Reiki For Spiritual Healing. A poet and performance artist, he is also author of America Needs a Woman President and America Needs a Buddhist President, a poem that initially aired nationwide on NPR's All Things Considered.
Since receiving his Reiki Master initiation in 1995, Bevell has dedicated himself to discovering new Reiki techniques that work collaboratively with the higher self. These simple techniques are not only highly effective, but also shift Reiki into a practice of daily living that can transform even the most mundane aspects of our lives into works of healing.
My second guest will be Carole Brody Fleet, the award-winning author of Widows Wear Stilettos and Happily EVEN After: A Guide to Getting Through (and Beyond) the Grief of Widowhood. Carole is also the author and executive producer of the best selling spoken-word CD, entitled, Widows Wear Stilettos: What Now?.
In September of 1998, her husband was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). His brave battle with ALS came to its end on December 19, 2000, leaving Carole a widowed parent. Armed with a nothing but an idea, a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor, a legal pad full of notes, and with no previous experience in book publishing, Carole set out on her journey as a writer in 2005. Carole wrote her first book, Widows Wear Stilettosin four months. Six months later, Carole made her first appearances in national media, and quickly went from being completely unknown to becoming a national bestselling and award-winning author, media expert, and sought-after motivational speaker.
Using a fresh approach, Carole speaks to a wide variety of audiences, including hospice and bereavement industries, and organizations serving those who have been touched by the pain and challenge of loss. With her message of "What Now and What Next," Carole offers practical, emotional, and even humorous guidance to those who have experienced any kind of loss, tragedy, or challenge in their lives.
So make sure to listen to the next Angel Quest Radio Show on September 6 at 1:05pm eastern time. Just click on www.wrcr.com and press "listen live." It's going to be quite an informative show!

I wanted to end this newsletter to show you how to quiet yourself to listen to the celestial realm. Here's a blog I wrote for my web site this month. I hope it helps you immensely!
Five Easy Ways to Meditate to Connect
with Your Deceased Loved Ones
I tell my clients that praying is talking to God and the angels - but meditating is listening to them. Your mind is probably going a mile a minute, and celestial beings can't be heard above that noise. So, when you want to receive messages from your passed loved ones, you'll need to quiet your mind and listen. Here are some simple ways to empty your thoughts so you can do just that:
- Stare at a candle until you can't keep your eyes open any longer. Then close your eyes. Eventually, you will see the flame on the back of your eyelids. When this flame disappears, open your eyes again and repeat this process for five to ten minutes.
- Count your exhales until you get to ten. When you reach ten, do it again. Repeat for five to ten minutes.
- Inhale, hold. Exhale, hold - each to a count of four. Repeat for five to ten minutes.
- Repeat a mantra any time your mind wanders. One of my favorite mantras is, "Grant me a pure heart, oh God."
- Use a mala to count your mantras. A mala is a set of 108 beads, one bead for each repetition of your mantra.
I recommend meditating every morning with the intention of connecting with your loved ones later that day. Don't try to hear them during the meditation; they will answer in their own time.
It doesn't matter how you meditate, just that you do it! Again, praying is talking to God and the angels, but meditating is listening to them. And I know you want to hear what those in the celestial realm have to say!
Many blessings to you! Have a wonderful, peaceful day! xoxo
Angel Hugs,
Karen No�
