For many years, my “smart” thermostat has lived quietly on my wall, doing its thing. It came with a little satellite sensor, a tiny “bee” I could move from room to room, and the system would automatically balance the temperature. I remember being amazed by that!
Then last year, while visiting my son and his family in New York City, I was even more amazed that their condo’s new heating system could be controlled entirely from their phones. They could even give me access so I could adjust their temperature from my own phone, hundreds of miles away!
I had no idea that was even possible.
Fast forward to this fall. The heating season begins here in Ontario, and during my annual furnace maintenance, something nudged me to explore my own system. The service person said, “Yes, it’s on the app.”
Lo and behold, an app I’d never used.
I, too, could control my home’s temperature from my phone. It had been available all along. I just hadn’t been aware enough to see it.
I’ve been obsessed ever since, both with the gadget and with the metaphor.
Because this is exactly what happens in the human system. The information we need, the wisdom, the memories, the energetic imprints that shape how we think, feel, and act today, already exists in the field of our being.
When we talk about energy in Conscious EFT™, we’re really talking about information. The field of energy around and within us is the field of information. Just like that app, the data is always there. I didn’t have to install anything new. All I needed was awareness, an access point to open to what was already available. The spark of possibility needed to be ignited.
Conscious EFT™ helps us do exactly that with the human system.
When a client comes to us, they already hold the information they need to shift their current experience. It lives in the subconscious, that vast field of awareness that operates beneath the logical mind. The conscious mind, that small portion we usually identify with, simply doesn’t have access.
Through energy work, tapping, and presence, Conscious EFT™ opens the door, little by little, allowing relevant unconscious information to rise gently into conscious awareness. And when that information becomes available, the client can see themselves, others, and the world differently. New possibilities arise. They can make new choices. They can act in ways that align with truth rather than protection.
Sarah and the Sunday Night Feeling
Sarah started her session complaining that she couldn’t understand why every Sunday evening she felt a wave of anxiety. Her weekend would be going beautifully, relaxed, connected, even joyful, and then, as the sun went down, she’d start to feel tense and restless. No amount of logical reasoning, “It’s just work tomorrow,” ever offered relief.
At first, she approached it like most of us do, cognitively. She made to-do lists, practiced positive thinking, tried relaxation apps. None of it made much difference.
In our Conscious EFT™ session, we began by using tapping to help her feel safe enough to notice what was happening in her body today when she tuned into the “Sunday night issue.” With gentle tapping and curiosity, we invited her system to show us more of the information in the field, the data her conscious mind couldn’t yet access.
After only a few rounds of tapping, an image appeared. It was of a small version of herself standing in the schoolyard, heart pounding before Monday morning. Now, we don’t know if that picture is a literal, historical replay or a symbolic message, and it doesn’t matter. It’s the information the field is offering today, the way Sarah’s system is choosing to communicate.
As we worked with the image, Sarah began to link her present-day anxiety with that early experience of being compared and not fitting in. What had been vague dread now had context, emotional, energetic, and compassionate context.
In Conscious EFT terms, we might say that a constriction in the field had come into awareness. And once that happens, something new becomes possible: an ITSA, an Inspired Trauma-Safe Action.
For Sarah, that ITSA wasn’t about doing more. It was about turning toward the constriction itself with love and acceptance. As she did, the energy softened. The system no longer needed to sound the alarm every Sunday evening. The information had been received and integrated, and her field could reorganize toward ease.
Back to the thermostat story: the thermostat hadn’t changed. I had changed. I finally came into alignment with a possibility that had been waiting for me all along.
And this, to me, is the essence of transformation. Whether it’s our nervous system, our relationships, or our consciousness itself, the potential for change is already there in the field. We just need to learn how to listen, open, and align with it.
That’s the power of working energetically, not just cognitively, somatically, or behaviorally.
If you’ve ever felt that subtle sense that something more is possible in your life, your work, or your healing, trust that feeling. The information is already available to you. Conscious EFT™ simply helps you tune to it.
