For Pain Relief – You Might Ask Yourself- What Am I Avoiding?
If you, like me, live with chronic pain, you might want to ask yourself – what am I avoiding? Is there someone you are avoiding seeing or speaking to? Are you putting off an important health care appointment? Where in your life are you procrastinating? Are you pushing yourself and avoiding rest? What is the last thing you are willing to pay attention to? OK, confession time. As I sit here at my desk, gazing out at the humming birds zipping in and out of my garden this morning, I am looking at the piles all around me on my desk and, once again, putting off (procrastinating!) doing my filing and organizing. Ahhhhh… I know that the stuff is taking up space in my consciousness. … continue reading

How Bundling Baggage Heals the Past
One of the first tapping techniques I learned years ago was called the Personal Peace Process. It involved making a list of all of the events, relationships and circumstances from the past that you want to heal. Then tapping on one item each day, until you have reduced the intensity on it all. Ahhhhh… And then I learned a much quicker and more effective way to heal and release the past called Bundling Baggage. We’ll practice this in class together this week and you can practice this on your own as well. 1. Choose the topic for your tapping session – an illness, a relationship, an event, such as an accident or a big disappointment. You might even choose your childhood or past relationship for … continue reading

A True Story of Forgiveness
A True Story of Forgiveness When I was 17, my best friend stole my boyfriend. Yes, it’s true! I have been listening to the Tapping World Summit all week and during one session, I focused on healing a current relationship with a dear friend. When I asked, as we are encouraged to do, when I’ve felt this hurt in the past, I zoomed back in the space of awareness to being 17 years old. I was a senior in high school, having a wonderful time. I loved school, I was dating a terrific guy – we’ll call him Mike. My best friend – we’ll call her Jane – and I would go often to Huntington Beach and life was good. Then, suddenly I wasn’t hearing … continue reading
Overcoming Resistance to Change by Examining Your Limiting Beliefs
“As much pain as negative beliefs can cause, we aren’t always taught to evaluate them. Whether we adopted them from our immediate environment or they were passed down to us from our parents, they often appear disguised as facts. As we get older we tend to settle into beliefs and think what we believe is just how the world is – and, more dangerously. This is just who I am.” Jessica Ortner, author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss & Body Confidence We all have stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how we are. What is your story? Do you find yourself struggling to start a new activity or continue once you’ve … continue reading
