Today’s
interview is with Dr. Phillip Mountrose an amazing teacher, author, and EFT coach. Phillip
and his wife Jane created Awakenings Institute. I was happy to speak with him
about the incredible work he and Jane are doing, teaching others how to grow
and expand with Emotional Freedom Techniques!
Where were you introduced to EFT? Did you
know right away that it was something that could potentially change your life?
Jane and I were introduced to EFT at a Hypnotherapy
conference in the mid 90’s. We saw a demonstration on Emotional Freedom
Techniques and became intrigued. We were doing NLP and Soul Work at the time.
Jane and I guided people through ‘soul transformations’ – where spiritual
kinesiology uses the soul’s energetic awareness and healing to transform. As
far as change goes, we had a sense that EFT coincided a great deal with the
work we were already doing.
I see that you and your lovely wife Jane
have been teaching others how to use EFT for over 20 years, what lead you to
become an EFT teacher and coach?
Well, we were already working with people individually then
so it wasn’t a difficult transition. Traditionally I was a teacher and I have
always loved teaching and coaching others. Teaching others how to become EFT
coaches themselves came quite naturally to me and Jane.
I so appreciate your mission to “create a
more caring, collaborative, creative, and prosperous world.” Definitely
something this world needs more of! Would you share with us how you created
such an eloquent mission statement?
The essence of our work is guided by Spirit. Being spiritual
people ourselves it impacts the way we live and do business. This allows us to
open ourselves up to our higher self which leads to a more caring and
prosperous world for everyone.
I am so impressed with the training
courses that you offer! Your courses are very thorough, useful, and extremely
in depth, how long did it take you to create the 4 month EFT certification course
you offer?
The Holistic Coaching & EFT online course was an
evolution that started in the mid 1990’s. We received a great deal of feedback
from our clients, students, and many people we worked with. It has changed and
developed into something profoundly beneficial and educational.
I know many people who have been
transformed by EFT and consider becoming a practitioner themselves, do you have
any advice you’d like to share with those wanting to take the next step towards
accomplishing their dreams but are holding back?
Of course I recommend EFT if you feel like you are being
‘held back.’ We can sometimes try to be perfect or do too much at once and this
can lead to stress, fear, and self-doubt. I remember one of the ladies that
took our course, she felt this way. She was in a difficult marriage and having
a tough time. After finishing the course her life changed a great deal. She
started a new career she was excited about, she and her husband got a divorce,
and she found true love with another man.
On your websites and blog you focus a
great deal on creating a better world and helping others learn to lift themselves
up while awakening their true purpose. Do have any tips on ways people can get
started doing this right now?
I do have a few suggestions:
1st Affirm that you actually want to live your
purpose, make certain this is something that you want then say it!
2nd Start looking for resources to get help and
guidance, don’t feel like you have to do it all alone.
3rd Take stock of how you want to improve the
world.
Lastly, are there specific things you and
Jane do daily to stay motivated and enthused about life?
This is a very good question; I have discovered that a lot
of people think successful people are naturally happy. In
truth, they design their lives so they can live optimally and be happy. Some
of the very basic things can keep people feeling good and more inclined towards
happiness, such as basic hygiene. I’m talking about eating well, getting enough
sleep, and exercising. All of these things help get your mind and body primed
for the day.
A few other things I recommend doing:
1. Set
daily goals- this will keep you focused and on track.
2. Practice
some form of meditation.
3. Remember
not to let the day happen to you- have some idea of what you will be doing each
day.
Jane and I have things we do together each day that help us
keep motivated. One thing we always do together is walk the dogs; it’s a
wonderful way to enjoy each other’s company. Above
all, we know that our daily activities align with our bigger goals and purpose.
