Congratulations
I promise you that this unique programme will enable you to create
the life you've always wanted so you can realise all you've ever
desired and more: effortlessly.
I have spent the last 15 years looking for ways to make my life more
prosperous, happy, rewarding and effortless. I've spent many many
thousands of pounds on that search, and I've gone down many dead
ends. And I've found answers which turned my thinking completely
on its head.
What you have in this programme is a tried and tested system for
creating an effort-free life. It has been refined with the help of many
clients to a point where they could create remarkable results by
spending as little as 3-6 minutes a day doing one simple exercise.
I'm delighted with what we've created with this programme. Please
write, phone or email us with any questions you have, or any 2009 lifeTools, Edition 1.5
comments about anything you hear or read in this material.

P.S. Since Serenity Sounds took over LifeTools, Chris is no involved with the Effort Free Life System. The
course hasn't changed and all of the content is still 100% relevant as it was intended and created. This is
the reason why we have still maintained this opening welcome letter page by Chris, as it explains the
journey involved in creating this product.

We asked more than 100 people what they wanted. This is what they told us, put into
categories. You'll see some repetition. This is where different people asked for the same
thing.
Use a tick, underline, or circle any of these that you want for yourself. You could even
add a '*' if that want is important for you, or even a '**, if it's very important for you.

Right now, reading this, you can be in one of only three places ...
the past, the present or the future.
When you live in the past or the future, you resist these feelings so they stay locked in
place : "what you resist persists."
But when you accept these thoughts and feelings, your resistance to them disappears,
the issue invariably melts away, and you feel fully alive in the present.

Stuck in a traffic jam, revving the engine, feeling frustrated, grumpy and sulky: it does
no good! Instead, you could relax, enjoy the scenery, smile at another driver, wind the
window down and have a chat!
I once was on a train from Paddington station to Heathrow Airport, and the person
opposite me freaked out the whole way, worried whether we would get there on time.
Well none of that worry was going to get him there any faster!
Life is the way it is: a balance of support and challenge - so enjoy the journey!
That's acceptance.

Arthur Rubinstein
Lock your liltle finger and Now ask your partner 10 do After a few minules of you
Ihumb around your parlner's Ihe pushing and you, instead accepting and not resisting,
hand so bolh your hands of resisting, just go where they the mosl likely thing 10 happen
remain locked logether go. Even if they push you is Ihat your partner will
round the room, go wilh Ihem simply slop pushing
in complele acceplance completely
What's the lesson? If you're with someone who is 'pushing' you: picking a
fight, arguing, disagreeing, being unkind - and you are accepting, ie non
reacting - you are the one with the power, not them. They will either carry
on doing what they're doing, and you're fine about that, or, more likely
they'll stop completely, as you saw from the above exercise. They might even
say: "what's the point in pushing if you're not going to push back?"

Do a "5 In 5 Out": breathe in smoothly and deeply for 5 Use this process to get into the
seconds, then out slowly and smoothly for 5 seconds. Repeat Living Present so you feel more
this a few times, so you feel more settled alive, energised and in control
[If the level reaches 10, ask:} It okay if this level goes beyond out of 1 O?
Important: if your level does not increase at all or beyond a certain point, you are most
likely resisting. Go to the exercise 2 pages after this one.
We also recommend that you ring for telephone support: an Effort-Free Coach will help
you get beyond 10 out of 10 acceptance, no matter what!

Melting resistance
If you've been using the Complete Acceptance Process and your acceptance level isn't
rising, or got stuck at a particular level. please consider that you are almost certainly
resisting: ie fighting against it going up.
Now this is fine with me if you resist, but is it fine with you?
If you are willing to accept the resistance, then you'll either stay resisting and you'll feel
wonderful that you're resisting - or your resistance will melt away.
The following exercise helps you accept your resistance at a deeper level than you may
be consciously aware of.
Ask yourself...
X. If you had to choose between the 'fighting' of resistance, and being free of it by
accepting, which would you choose? And what if you were to try out accepting just
for fun for a minute or two, then went back to resisting after that if you wanted to?
[Now go back to 3 again. If your acceptance still doesn't go up, see the next page.J

Biz-tutorial.com - The Best Video Tutorials Site Ever !
If you still feel stuck in resistance, it is probable that you're resisting the resisting! i.e. there are 2
levels of resistance. How about considering accepting the resistance to the resistance?!! You may
even think it's funny that your mind is tying itself in knots by fighting itself. How about some
compassion for your poor mind?!
If it hasn't reduced much, reach inside your head, pick up the resistance, hold it in front of you
and bounce it on your hand, then throw it away as far as you can.
Now check back inside your head and see if it has reduced or vanished, and go back to the
Complete Acceptance Process.
• Imagine that your level of acceptance is controlled by a dial, and see yourself turn that dial up.
Remember: if you feel that your resistance is 'stuck', simply contact us and we can arrange for
you to speak to a trainer to discuss private tuition and your trainer will 'pop' that resistance
within a few minutes which will leave you feeling much more relaxed and empowered.

It can be really helpful to do the Complete Acceptance Process with another person,
taking it in turns to be the questioner.
If you want, you can make a note of levels of Or sit sideways on, so your heads are closer

intimidating than directly face-ta-face.

Start by asking the other person to bring to mind an issue they have a charge about.
1 . Ask the person to state their issue in a few words. Then ask...
2. What is your level of acceptance of this issue out of la?
3. Is it okay with you if this level of acceptance increases?
Make sure you breathe fully.
[If the answer is yes, say "Well done" or "Great", and go to 4]
[If no, Is it okay if this level increases just for fun and just for now? If yes, go to 4. If no,
go to page 20.]
4. What level is it at now?
If the level has changed, you can occasionally ask: Does this level of feel different
_
from _ before? For example: Does this level of 6 feel different from the 3 it was
before?
Go to 3.
[If the level reaches 10, ask:] As you breathe into that acceptance, is it okay if this level of
acceptance goes beyond 1 0 out of 1O? [Now go to question 3 ]
If your partner 's level of acceptance is not increasing, turn to the Life Shocks section on
page 50, and go from there: they're almost certain to experience a big shift by going
through the process there.
It's important that you use the Complete Acceptance Process every day. Consider filling
this form in every day for the next 2 weeks, then decide at the end of those 1 4 days if
you want to continue for a further 2 weeks, and so on. You can either do it once a day,
or for even better results in your life, twice a day.

If you're promoted, you may not like the additional responsibility or reporting to the
board.
If you dream of a house in France or Spain, you may find the bureaucracy or lack of
urgency or standards of the builders too frustrating.
Here's why: for any goal you have, there will be just as many upsides as downsides. If
you see more upsides than downsides then you'll most likely become foolhardy and
make rash decisions. If you see more downsides than upsides then you'll be over
cautious. If you see that upsides and downsides will always be in balance then you'll be
more present and simply pursue those outcomes which inspire you the most. [If you
would like more information about this, email kate@effortfree.com. subject: Balance.]
A time limit or deadline gets your mind working on allowing it to happen, and
encourages you to take small or large actions which dissolve any remaining resistance.
For example: "I have a total of £100,000 or more in my bank accounts by October 31,
[state yearJ"
Allow for the unexpected. Instead of "I now earn £18,000 (US$32,000) a year in the same
role of sales administrator in the office where I'm working now", keep it simple so you
may find yourself within months in a new, better job, somewhere else!
Or: "I'm now in Jamaica on holiday, having saved up for six months" - as this
prevents you from getting the holiday as a gift or winning it in a prize!
• let it get so big that it gives you butterflies? (The 'tingle' factor.)
... to make it compelling, so you have sensory evidence that you've got it. Turn it into a
movie if you see it as a still photograph.
"It's October 31, [state year] and I'm running my own small business. Three other
people are busy answering the phones and taking down orders. I'm sitting at a tidy
desk with a diary listing all my plans for the coming week. I feel inspired, and I feel a
deep sense of love with life because I'm doing what I've always wanted to do."
Notes ...
You don't need to be in the goal! You can write "It's Oct 31, [state year], and my sister is
now completely healthy."

He was the first man in history to explore the entire length of the world's longest river,
the Nile, in a 4,160 mile expedition which the Los Angeles Times called "the most
amazing adventure of this generation." He then matched that achievement and became
the first man ever to explore the entire length of the Congo; he scaled the Matterhorn in
a raging blizzard after several professional guides had refused to go along, and he has
established numerous records as a civilian jet pilot, including a speed record of 1,500
mph in the F-l11 Fighter-Bomber, and an altitude record of 63,000 feet in the F-106 Delta
Dart.
A resident of La Canada, California, where he lives with his wife and two of his five
children, Goddard does not believe in pursuing adventure for the sake of frivolous
thrills, but used these experiences to achieve a worthwhile end. This end, for him, is
scientific exploration, adding to the world's store of knowledge. "Digging out the facts
is the real challenge," Goddard says in summing up his career. "The adventure is
exciting and enjoyable - but secondary."
Yet digging out the facts can be a hazardous occupation. Goddard has been bitten by a
rattlesnake, charged by an elephant, and trapped in quicksand. He has crashed in
planes, been caught in earthquakes, and almost drowned twice while running rapids.
But his overwhelming desire to discover fresh knowledge and to complete his youthful
list of goals has driven him on in spite of the danger.
Having read all this, are there any more goals you'd like to add to your list(s}?

compare the 2 columns below. The left-hand column is what he wrote down on a sheet

actually comprised of when he bought it. Notice how miraculous the similarities are!

He created his new flat by writing the goal on a card every morning, and in the evening,
and sometimes during the day, he read the card aloud.
It was a big goal because, he says, "weedy goals don't inspire anybody!"
If John can make his dreams come true then so can you!
The day after he moved in, he rang me, and we talked about creating new business for
him. The next day he got a letter from a company in the UK asking him to act as their
agent in Germany! A 'miracle'!

One of the most powerful ways of making your dreams happen is to get very clear what
you want, and experience it happening now in your mind. This exercise is designed to
help you clarify precisely what you want.
Let's imagine you're meeting your mother for a coffee and a chat. Start by imagining
that it will all go horribly wrong - a nightmare day. Let your imagination run wild.
Write each 'bad' event on a separate line. Then write the 'perfect' equivalent in the right
hand column.
Mark any with a star (*) if you secretly think it will happen.
Have you ever thought you'd have a challenging day in the past - and you were right?
Well you just get to be right! It's you who has a major impact on how your day and
your life is going to be. So imagine you'll have a wonderful day, and you'll get to be
right about that!
Does this take time? Yes, at first - but would you rather let your mind focus on what's
not working in your life, worrying that your day may be a disaster, and moaning about
how things should have been in the past - or would you rather build a wonderful day
and life?

Dear Chris,
Since getting Effort-Free Life Gold my life has changed more dramatically than I could have ever
conceived.
I have never felt at such a constant level of high acceptance. Over April, when I did the Complete

this month I will be starting even higher and reaching a bliss that I've never felt before as this
morning started at 20. I am so awake and present. My confidence in myself has never been so high.
Anyway let me tell you about the synchronicities, events and amazing achievements that have
happened since I joined Gold:
Love + Home:
Back in January Kate and I were getting on better than ever but over the past 4 months our
relationship has hit new heights. We talk at a much deeper level with total trust, and we play all the
time. We fancy each other more than we've ever fancied anyone before, and sex has been the best
and most frequent it has ever been. We are there for each other yet we both live independently
together.
We both love the new place that I bought back in February and have settled in very well. Just found
out that it has gone up in value over £20,000 since I bought it: what a great buy! It is so plush! We
completed renovations on Kate's place back in early Feb and she now rents that out for over £750 per
month.
Work + Investments
As you well know, after Antony and Alex (my 2 business partners) became interested in the Effort
Free Life System, they joined up and have both enjoyed the processes immensely.
We all trust each other 110% and the businesses have never been so productive.
Talent Focus has a new person heading it up and is getting a great name for itself in the industry
with brilliant reviews in top magazines, and in April had its most profitable month ever (£60,000+).
Urban Sofa is off the ground with Partners IBM and looks like we will make tens of millions next
year. Zuko made me over £200,000 personally between January and May. Gung Ho the promotional
Agency that we started back in January now has profits of over £20,000 per month. Light Rooms
started in mid February and is already in profit and is looking to make its biggest month in May
with projected profits of £60,000+.
All my staff respect me and work well around me.
The property in Chamonix is looking like a great investment.
I wake up in the morning and can't wait to get into work. I have fun every day and can manage to
see tens of miracles every day just at work alone.
We have lots more in the pipeline.
Social
Life itself seems to be one big recreation at the moment. Everyone I talk to really enjoys my company.
It seems that I only have to think of someone and they call me. Kate and I had an amazing time in
France in February, my snowboarding has reached a new level and I can board on blue slopes now.
I have a parachute drop planned for this month and have already been paragliding last month.
I am becoming closer to all my friends and everyone wants to be around me.
I have become involved in helping charities and do this in a totally selfless accepting way. I just love
to give.
I also have an amazing holiday booked for Kate and me in August.

Dear Chris,
Before I signed up for the Gold Membership at LifeTools my life was pretty good. However, I found
it difficult to fully appreciate what I have in my life including my job, my girlfriend, my family, my
friends and myself!
Now I have the ability to feel great and I don't need a specific reason. I have the ability to really
appreciate all the smaller things in life, like waking up in the morning for one! Another really good
thing is that I now see "problems" as opportunities to overcome rather than letting my emotions get
negatively affected by the things that life brings up on a regular basis - I can just accept it and
overcome anything! I find now that I don't put things off 1 just get on with it and things get done.
-
I honestly don't know why I used to make such a fuss! Now all the trivial clutter in my mind has
gone (such as putting off things I don't want to do) as I just get on with it - IT FEELS GREAT!
Now my energy levels have been boosted and I have a zest for life and a real pride in who I am. I
regularly attend the gym 4 times a week and have cultivated a fit and healthy mind and body.
My work performance has increased drastically. Before my team were putting around £45,000 a
month on the sales board. My LT & Engineering teams are now regularly billing at least £80,000 a
month between them (on the board figures) so since doing the Gold Programme my performance
figures have virtually doubled! This means that I am on course to earn £100,000 this year! I have
also paid off £6,000 of my debt which keeps me on track for my target of paying off all my debts by
the end of October (in five months time) - this makes me feel wonderful and I feel that I am getting
in the position where I am financially secure which is my ultimate aim. I have also spent £2,000 on
improving the quality of my home which is in addition to paying off my debt! Our house has now
been valued at £16,500 more than what I bought it at in November 2002 (£118,500 18 months ago to
£135,000)
The most amazing thing that has happened to me is the relationship with my girlfriend. Before
doing the Gold I was happy with my girlfriend. I did have a problem with commitment (I had been
with her 7 years). Now I feel like I can commit to her and we are both bursting with happiness. We
both get on even better when in each other's company. Our sex life before was good but now it is
amazing! I never thought I could reach the heights of pleasure that I do now - neither can my
girlfriend! One of the main issues I had was that I wanted to change her. I used to make excuses that
she didn't work on herself as much as me, therefore I would give myself excuses that it was her fault
if I didn't work on myself. Now I accept my girlfriend for who she is, and support her, as opposed
to dominating her. My increased level of patience with my girlfriend, and other things in my life,
has led to consistent happiness I once never thought possible.

During your life you may have learned 'lessons' which have shaped the way you have
responded to the world since then.
We say "once bitten twice shy", and you may have more specific things you decided ...
Tick, circle or underline any of the limiting beliefs on the previous 2 pages which ring
true for you. If any really strike a chord, add a '*' or '**'.
Now write at least 4 limiting beliefs below, copying them from that long list, or using
ones very specific to you ...
... and rate the strength of each belief you still feel out of 10 in the Rate column.
Rate Re-rate
Have you noticed how right you are about these beliefs? In other words if you believe
you are no good with money, can you see proof of that in your life?
If so, you've proved just how right you are! Aren't you the clever one!! Would you
rather be right - or great with money? Maybe it's time to discard these limiting beliefs ...
Chose one of your limiting beliefs above, and ask yourself these questions ...
What is your level of gratitude that part of your mind generated this limiting belief?
What your mind generated in the past cannot be changed, so there's no point fighting
the past. You might as well love the past. This unleashes your energy to create an effort
free life.
So, what is your level of gratitude that part of your mind generated this limiting belief?
Say thank you to your mind for generating this limiting belief.
Is it okay if this level of gratitude increases? What level is it at now?
Is it okay if it increases again? And more?
Re-rate this belief. Notice how you feel now compared with where you were before you
started this exercise. You should start feeling a lot freer and happier over the next few
days.

Life shocks
Almost all of us have told stories about events which appear to have shaped our lives.
Some call these 'life shocks'. These are generally sad or unhappy memories - and often
they define the way we see the world and act in it. Your earliest memory could be a life
shock.
and /or
• the birth of another child in the fami!y
Write a few of these below, then rate their 'shock value' out of 10.
Shock Re-rate
The human mind sees more downsides than upsides to traumatic events in the past.
This is a distortion because, if you're prepared to look deeply, you'll see that there are
just as many upsides as downsides. Really. To see that this is true for you, pick an event
from your past and use the People Process exercise on page 65, then re-rate that event
out of 1 0 and put those figures in the Re-rate column.
If you can, cover the Shock column with your other hand as you re-rate. Did the 'shock
value' reduce at all? ... and by a small or large amount? Write any insights down on this
page or at the back of this Playbook.

Here are some examples from client Richard Haggerty's Miracles list. I asked Richard to
write these out in more detail than you would need to do on your own list because I
wanted you to see how easy it is to create wonderful miracles yourself...
• All bank and credit card statements filed together for the first time. 3 banks statement
were totally unopened and in various drawers and they were even in kitchen drawers.
• I sorted out 5 bins loads of waste paper in my small room in the last week.
• I wrote to my friend Martin in France (I've put this off since December). It took just 3
minutes start to finish from having the thought "I should write to you sometime!!"
• My tax return has looked intimidating for me and I had put off doing this for at least 8
weeks. I used techniques from PhotoReading to complete it. I found my P45s and
P60 in about 45 mins and enjoyed it. That small amount of effort means I am now
getting a £400 rebate. Not bad for 45 mins work!
• Student Loan Deferment - all I had to do was give one signature and ask for one from
a work colleague! I put this off for months!
• Ifreed a shelf in my room by giving away 2 shirts to Oxfam and within 3 hours my
housemate gave me a Play Station 2 to borrow indefinitely (I wanted a DVD player).
He said to me, "I've just got a DVD player and don't have room for this. Is it okay if
you keep it for the time being?" This plays all the DVD films I want. I had made
room for the new by casting out the old.
• One of my housemates, when I asked his advice on how to repair a slashed tyre on
my bike, went out and bought a new inner tube, tyre, paid for it, fitted it and pumped
up the tyre. He also fixed my brakes. I mean he did the lot.
• Nail clippers suddenly reappeared after 5 weeks when I was in acceptance that it was
okay not to search for them. I had turned over the drawer in question. They are in a
large distinct 3 inch by 2 inch nail kit so are easy enough to see.

A goal can be one that you can accomplish in the next week - or it can be a bigger goal,
such as writing and completing a book, or making £ / $1 00,000 on the stock market by

goal realisable by the end of 7 days, so in the case of a book, you could write an outline
in the next week or, in the case of a money goal, to have a written plan, or invest a
specific sum in new stocks by the end of the next 7 days.

Acceptance: Being able to live in the moment and surrender totally to it. Being free of your addictions
to food, water, being hurt or right. A state of bliss, euphoria and gratitude.
Currency conversion: The currency exchange rate can fluctuate over a wide range over a year. £lused
to equate to US$1.40, but it is currently US$1.75. So £20,000 equates to US$35,000. (A quick way is to
double the amount in pounds and reduce roughly by a fifth.) £1 also equates to Australian $2.4, so
£20,000 equates to AUS$48,000. There is an online converter at: http://www.xe.com/ucc
