“It’s not the snake that kills you. It’s chasing after the snake that kills you.” -proverb
We’ve all experienced it. The delay. The obstruction sitting in the way of your progress. Picture it: there you are getting your footing or maybe you are already on a roll. And then something happens that feels like a problem that seems to slow your progress, or just plain surprises you. “Hmm, I wonder where that came from? I wonder why is that happening here?”
It could be any subject: something happening, or no not happening to your kids in school, the management of money or boundaries with your spouse or your ex,
or maybe it’s the launching of your business or product.
#ithappens You are experiencing some exception, a resistance … and it feels like your progress is being thwarted.
The next thing that occurs is your emotions come rushing in: shock, surprise, anger, irritation, disappointment. It can be one of these, or you, the lucky one, could experience an “emotional cocktail” of all of these. Then your body begins to “tell the story of your emotions.” You may feel them in your body as tension, heart pounding, head ache, thirst … or you may feel numb and not realize that your body is responding, like the that rabbit freezes in the face of the snake.
And all of this happens within seconds. It might be easy to miss it… if you are un aware, unawake.
That’s when the real “trouble” starts. When you don’t know, what you don’t know. Because it is easy and commonplace to begin to react with defense or blame or withdrawal. And that my friends, is what they mean by the words…” you are giving away your power.” If you have ever wondered, “what does that mean?” that is what it means!
This is the moment of your power. Your power, your essence. This is when your flame is brightest. This is when you strike when the iron is hot. And because of past neglect, abuse or trauma, minor or major, you may miss your opportunity.
Do you want to see and seize your opportunities?
This is the beauty and the gift of using EFT Tapping. What is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping? It is a technique that is a combination of ancient Chinese medicine and modern psychology. It’s like getting the benefit of acupuncture by using your fingertips, instead of the sticking needles. (Sign up for a free 30-minute one-on-one intro at my website for more details.)
When you begin to use Tapping, you clear up the anxiety in your body, you release old memories and perceptions that keep you stuck. In clinical studies, EFT is shown to dramatically reduce stress level. And what happens when your stress level is reduced? You feel better overall. There’s more blood and oxygen for your brain, and you make better decisions.
So back to our example of being your power and striking when the iron is hot… if you have a tool like EFT Tapping, when something happens that feels “off”, feels like a surprise or problem… your start Tapping. You just do it, as your first reaction. You clear it up BEFORE the stress overtakes your body, robs the brain of blood and oxygen. You stay cool. You stay calm. You stay collected.
You are Awake, Aware.
Now, your thoughts and your energy field turn toward this direction: “I wonder what the advantages of this “exception situation” are? I wonder how this “appearance of being thwarted” is working for me?
With questions like that … now you are back in the saddle, back in your power. Awake and Alive and Aware.
Clients come to me with a variety of problems that feel like being thwarted, challenge, blocked, being the exception, stuck, blocked. They come to me on Skype or Zoom with a bevy of emotions and physical manifestations. And I love it, because that is the juice. It is the moment they are in their power … and together, we can harness it for good. That is where the thwarting becomes a threading process where we weave a new story, a new energy body, a new body chemistry and new YOU. The Empowered Essential You.
Healing happens in partnerships. You’ll grow so much more in a one-on-one, than trying to “go it alone.”
Why Tapping? What the one-on-one private Tapping does is give you a confidential, safe setting to unburden yourself, to hear yourself talk through your stuff, while using a technique that helps to relieve your body’s nervous system AND gives you a chance to write a new story in your words, you mind and your energy field about the situation and what was, is and could happen. EFT Tapping, tapping… it is the “bonus plan.” When you sign up for private sessions, the benefits, the potential is astonishing.
I know a little about perceptions of being stuck, thwarted, challenged. Many of you know my story. Some of you do not. Four years ago I faced a family disaster that severely stressed my mental, emotional and financial life. There were days, and many sleepless nights, when I wondered if I was going survive and ever be my happy, bright and shiny self again. I tried everything. And then … EFT found me. It was my dream solution. The initial results were so palpable, that I knew this was the path to freedom. It took time to fully recover and get back on my feet, but from Day 1, I was moving forward. That felt so good. So, I invested in many private coaching sessions. But today, I am happy and shiny and better than ever. My passion and joy is helping others who are asking for support, especially those in experiencing Family Alienation, to survive and thrive in all situations.
The Silver Lining: there are exceptional exceptions, moments in life where the right words at the right time with the right techniques can thread your life into alignment, not thwart you.
Private one-on-one EFT Tapping may be your silver bullet technique.
I welcome the Empowered Essential You!
