Appreciation: the best thing about having a partner is ... :)

I only have a second because I'm going to sushi with my hot GF, Firecracker Girl, but....

It felt important to take this moment to count my enormous blessings.

The absolutely best thing about having a partner for my life purpose, something I've wanted for sooooo long, is that when I'm stuck, he's inspired. When I'm tied up with other things, he keeps things moving forward.

He's awesome. I feel really blessed.

They say the sum is greater than the parts. It's sooo true. :)

Stay tuned for very exciting developments :)

ooooh, can you feel it? ;)

Major tectonic shifting going on right now ... something really big is about to happen. I can feel it.

Feeling my hips looser, more fluid in the joints, after a month of emotional intensity, fireworks-style intimacy, and great sex :)

I also had a really, really fun time this past weekend hanging out with AFC Adam Lyons, his wife Amanda, and Luke Krogh. Kudos to them on their very professionally run bootcamp. I must also compliment Adam publicly (already did so privately) on his incredible speaking voice. Not only is his content excellent and highly entertaining, but he delivers it with the best speaking voice in the industry. Seriously, the guy can project his voice to the back of a large hotel room, as if he is talking right next to you, with no microphone. Nice :)

Plus, I love seeing Adam and Amanda together. They spend day in and day out together, teaching together, doing business together, and their love for each other is so obvious. Their relationship inspires me because I know what's next for me is a relationship with the partner I'll be teaching with for the rest of my life. Oooh, I get chills writing that :) Needless to say, I'm a fan :)

As for EA ...

The infrastructure is being laid down right now for big things, but mainly what I'm feeling now ... that something big is about to happen ... isn't based on anything "logical" ... I know from experience that these quiet times are very, very important ... and deceptive. To the unpracticed eye, it looks like nothing is happening. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is when big shifts like what I had over the past month get integrated. After integration ... that's when we see quantum leaps.

You heard it here first :)

And, btw, have I mentioned? ... PUAs love me :)

Recovering PUAs love me, too.

LOL.

Don't Quit When You Are On the Verge of Success - 3 Ways to Avoid Being Sabotaged By the Ego Mind

This is a theme I've noticed a lot over the past year.

Does this sound like you?

You have come to the seduction community, or the Law of Attraction community, or the tapping community, or to any self-improvement community of any kind because you are frustrated with your life. Maybe it's your love life, maybe it's your financial life, maybe it's because you don't have a life passion and purpose. Whatever area of your life it is that is not working, you desperately want transformation.

You know you were not meant to be a man who has no sexual choice when it comes to women.

You know you were not meant to be a woman who attracts "toxic men."

You know you were not meant to be broke and overwhelmed by debt.

You know you were not meant to have conflict-ridden, abusive relationships.

You know you were not meant to wander aimlessly through this world, feeling bored a lot of the time, frustrated the rest of the time, and not knowing what your purpose here is.

So you sought out "solutions" and "advice," and after sorting through a lot of well-meaning programs and e-books that didn't work at all (there are a lot of them out there), maybe you found something that DID start to work. For example, maybe you finally found tapping. Or meditation. Or truly transformative coaching.

You started to see some benefits. Maybe you had some success with women for once in your life. Maybe cash started to come into your life from out of nowhere.

You started to think, "wow, finally this is actually working." You got your hopes up that maybe you weren't hopelessly stuck in your old reality.

And then something happened. A bunch of old fears jumped into your mind. Maybe you found yourself feeling VERY uncomfortable. Maybe you found yourself wanting to lash out at people or blame someone. Maybe you thought of a hundred excuses not to move forward. Maybe your progress came to a standstill, or you even took a few steps backwards. Maybe the situation you wanted to improve seemingly got WORSE.

When that happened, did you quit?

This is the all-important choice point, my dear friends. This is the moment of truth.

The truth is that no matter how much we WANT transformation in our lives ... Yes, we want sexual abundance, intimacy abundance, financial abundance. We want to have a life purpose so powerful that the line between work and play becomes meaningless, and everything feels like play.

No matter how much we want those things, no matter how much we have dreamed about having them, no matter how much we have invested in transforming ourselves ... just when we start to GO THERE, to have what we want, to get a taste for how things could be, the EGO MIND gets VERY scared.

Whether it's a relationship, a coaching program, moving to a new place, or some other radical shift in your life ... all too frequently ... the ego mind will tell you to quit EXACTLY at the moment when you are on the verge of success.

Why? Because the moment just before success can feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Sure, you wanted change, but are you really ready for it? When you have a million dollars in the bank, or an awesome relationship, EVERYTHING is going to change.

And the ego mind doesn't want that. It wants to preserve its small, anemic, "safe," reality. The ego mind sees true transformation as the death of its identity.

So it will try to talk you into quitting. And its reasons will sound very "logical" and convincing. The ego will talk you into breaking up with someone or into doing something that will trigger that person to break up with you. The ego will convince you to leave an amazing workshop mid-way through because you're "not getting your money's worth." It will convince you that you "can't afford" a workshop or program. It will tell you that the harsh criticism you just attracted from the outside world is "true," and that you really don't have what it takes to succeed, or that it's not worth the effort. And -- perhaps most devious of all -- when uncomfortable feelings get triggered, such as grief, rage, or irritability, the ego will talk you into blaming the other person and writing him or her off. Thus giving all of your power away.

All too often in my coaching I have seen a person get VERY uncomfortable, or a situation seemingly get WORSE, exactly at the moment when the person is about to have a MAJOR breakthrough to a new level of sexual success, intimacy, social success, or financial success. This often happens right around session number three, exactly when we are delving deep into the heart of the issue.

If you allow it to, the ego mind will persuade you to quit. This is your moment of truth. If you refuse to listen to the ego mind, if you stay committed, and if you stay present through all the discomfort that is being brought to the surface, you just may find yourself launched into a whole new AWESOME reality.

The moral of the story is this:

If you truly want transformation, DO NOT BE DECEIVED by the ego mind. It does not have your greater interests at heart.

Here are three ways I've developed to avoid being SABOTAGED by the ego mind.

1. Manage your own expectations.

If you are embarking on anything new and exciting, such as a new relationship or a new coaching program or a new path, PREPARE YOURSELF AHEAD OF TIME for the ego's pattern of sabotaging you exactly when you're about to succeed. When you understand how the ego works, you'll be less likely to go unconscious and heed its antics when you find yourself on the verge of a breakthrough. You'll be able to stay present through the uncomfortable feelings until you come out on the other side.

2. Learn to hear the difference between the ego and your higher self.

There are two voices in your head. The nagging, critical, loud and blaming voice of the ego mind. And the quiet, steady, intuitive wisdom of your higher self. Practice listening to the voices in your head until you can really hear the difference. Until you've become very practiced at hearing the difference, it can be easy to mistake the ego's voice for intuition. With practice, though, it becomes easy to tell them apart. Which voice you choose to follow will make ALL THE DIFFERENCE between a mediocre life and an AWESOME life.

(You can also tap away the egoic voice so thoroughly that it is rarely ever heard from anymore (this is what I do for myself and my clients, and it feels SO AMAZING when the ego's voice has finally been silenced -- to learn more go here).)

3. Make a commitment and stick with it.

There's a reason why I have changed my coaching program to all long-term programs, and that is that I have recognized the enormous power of commitment. Having a coach by your side every step of the way can be SO helpful for disarming the ego's attempts to derail your progress. It's usually right around the third session working with someone that they start to get deep enough into an issue to have their deepest fears triggered and start having doubts. But because we have both made a commitment ahead of time that we are not going to let the ego sabotage our efforts, we are able to work through that transitional discomfort -- and that's when the big breakthroughs and quantum leaps start happening!

I have started doing the same thing with my relationships, talking right at the beginning about how -- as we go deeper into intimacy -- we are both likely to have strong feelings get triggered. I like to have a mutual commitment ahead of time that we are going to stay connected through those feelings, and the rewards of this are HUGE. No matter how uncomfortable things might get in the short-term, relationships lived under this model are SO transformative and lead to quantum leaps in our capacity for intimacy and our spiritual growth. :)

"All of your relationships are total commitments."

Here's the takeaway for today: If you really want transformation in any area of your life, make a solid commitment today, prepare yourself for what the ego mind might do to derail your commitment, and make a solemn promise to yourself to stick to your commitment no matter what. No excuses.

I look forward to hearing about the radical breakthroughs that come to you when you make this commitment ... because they will start happening :)

I call them miracles. Miracles are your birthright.

Touch of sadness

I feel a touch of sadness tonight because we decided not to release that sexy little video.

The fear is that many people would not be able to hear my message if they saw the video because people have certain ideas about how teachers or coaches are "supposed to be." The fear is that the message won't have as much credibility unless it (and I) are packaged in line with certain expectations.

Seriously?

I feel sad about this because it feels in conflict with the substance of my message, which is to love and celebrate all parts of ourselves, and to express ourselves fully without censoring or holding back or trying to fit into some preconceived "image."

:-(

Building sexual tension ...

Oooooohh, I am feeling very excited ...

Things are about to get even sexier around here.

And Sinn said tapping wouldn't lead to sex.

Just wait until you all see what we are releasing tonight :)

Would you like to create miracles for yourself and others? Last chance to sign up for Erika's 15-week Miracle Coaching Program at this special price

Are you tired of spinning your wheels taking one seminar or e-book after another on the hamster wheel of "self-improvement"?

Are you ready to finally HAVE the personal transformation that you've been seeking for so long?

Or are you a coach looking for a powerful methodology to help both yourself and your clients get unstuck and achieve newfound success in key life areas such as finances, romantic relationships, and self-esteem?

Then my 15-week Miracle Coaching course is for you. This is the last chance to sign up for it at the current special price. Things are about to change dramatically around here. The price of the course will be going up at least 50 percent.

You can go here to read all about what you'll learn in the course.

This knowledge will set your life free in ways you probably cannot even imagine right now. We will be systematically erasing your limiting beliefs, while at the same time teaching you a methodology so that you can continue to erase limiting beliefs as they arise, as you continue to expand your comfort zone and your success WAY beyond your current experience or expectations.

What happens when we erase our limiting beliefs and tap in to the infinite power of our subconscious minds? We start to receive effortlessly all the things we struggled to achieve for so long.

In October, I tapped for technical support, and soon thereafter a friend purchased me a brand new MacBook Pro and upgraded my iPhone, for free. He delivered the computer to my doorstep and purchased me a year-long package of one-on-one coaching with Apple on how to use the computer. It was a straight up gift, no strings attached.

In December, I tapped for sex, affection, and a new business partner. In January, all those things showed up on my doorstep.

Not only have I consistently used my methodology to help myself, I have done the same for my clients who are willing to commit to a complete overhaul of their existing belief systems.

After I posted about this course last night on Facebook, one of my clients who recently finished the 15-week course spontaneously posted this unsolicited, unpaid testimonial:

I took this course with Erika. ... We cleared just about EVERYTHING that was blocking me. Now I'm just learning to be my true self all over again. If you're on the fence and you want to know more about my experience working with Erika, let me know. She knows what she's doing.

If you've been looking for the one course that would go way beyond teaching you tapping to teaching you a comprehensive system for transforming your own life and coaching others, THIS IS IT.

To sign up, please go here now. Again, the price is about to go up at least 50 percent. Now is the time to take this course.

I look forward to teaching you how to erase your limiting beliefs, overhaul your belief system, and create miracles in your own life and in the lives of anyone who is lucky enough to be helped by you.

Cheers,
Erika

Interlude

I've been pretty quiet on the blog lately cuz I'm busy with developing new material, expanding my own comfort zone, exploring deeper levels of emotional intimacy, and working with private clients.

Oh ... and having sex too :)

But not to worry ... I'll be back with articles and video content soon enough, and it's going to be more fun than ever.

If you've not yet subscribed to my newsletter (right hand side bar), be sure to do so now because soon enough we'll be sending out insider updates to that list.

Thanks, as always, for your support. With your help, what started as a humble little grassroots seduction and spirituality blog is eventually going to reach millions of people and help transform the world.

Awakening Erika in the morning ...

There's nothing quite like waking up to being serenaded by this:

Shut up woman, get on my horse.

It's not exactly romantic, but it definitely got us laughing our asses off :)

Learn seduction from a world master this week only in San Francisco

For my San Francisco readers (or anyone who can travel here forthwith):

If you have been wanting to learn how to seduce a woman from a true master of the craft, this is your week. One of the guys staying with me is a seduction genius, and he has time to do one (and only one) one-on-one in person intensive training program with a guy this week.

To give you an idea of how much this guy can teach you about presence and body language (for starters), let me tell you what happened when we were in Vegas. Two beautiful female porn stars (from the Got Ass girls) had been recruited to help teach the men in Johnny Soporno's workshop how to attract women. Hristiyan asked them to look around the entire room full of men to pick out the man for whom they felt the most instant attraction, before he even opened his mouth. One of the two women immediately said she felt the most instant attraction to this guy ... who you can train with this week, and this week only, in San Francisco.

This is a man who consistently seduces the girl he wants in short-term situations, and is also very solid with longer term relationships.

If you're interested in having him teach you his secrets this week in San Francisco, email me at erika.awakening@gmail.com.

***********

We are also working very hard over the next couple of weeks on an introductory EFT video product. This will be a do-it-yourself EFT workshop on video, which will empower you to create the life of your dreams quickly and almost effortlessly. We are committed to making this video so awesome that even EFT skeptics have no choice but to join in the fun of re-creating our reality exactly the way we want it :) If you'd like to receive the insider updates about this product, please sign up for my newsletters in the box in the right hand side bar on this page or on my coaching page.

Ok, I'm out of time right now ... more news soon ...

Anonymous Text Messages?

I was just at dinner with Hristiyan, Mike, and John Litchenberg. Needed to rush back home for a session. Just about here when my first ever anonymous text comes in, saying

'I trust you're ready for one wild weekend.'

Threesome Guy and I are going to Tahoe this weekend. I have no idea who sent that message.

But I'm very wet :)
