This topic has come up in my family recently due to my son writing an English term paper on censorship in “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury.  Did you know that book fell under censorship at one time?

Is censorship a good thing sometimes? Or is it always bad?

I understand that Google was only allowed into China when they agreed to censorship. Nothing about the Dali Lama and the Tibetan people is allowed in China.

What is China so afraid of Can they really keep their people in ignorance of what is going on in the rest of the world? Do they think their people are so gullible and ignorant that they will believe everything they hear? Or maybe they fear the opposite. Maybe China thinks their people won’t believe the powers that be any more. Is that a bad thing, for a government to have to toe- the- line and do what is right in the world and for their people not just for their ego?

When is censorship good? There was much censorship in the US in WWI and II. One of the sayings was “Loose lips, sink ships”. This was to keep our troops safe. If the enemy did not know our plans they could not prepare surprise attacks.

I guess it is how you look at it. I am sure the Chinese government honestly believes that censorship is needed to keep peace in their country. But then most of the rest of the world believes that kind of censorship is not good.

To whom all reads this. I am running a study on the benefits of surrogate tapping. I would love to have more participants. A study is only good if you have a decent sample number.

What I need are people with problems they want help on. It could be a fear, phobia, ongoing pain of some type or something more general such as anxiety or panic attacks.

Look at the questionnaire below and if you would like to participate just leave a comment and I will reply to you with an e-mail address. (Comments are not automatically put on blog, I review everything first so don’t worry your comment will not be posted as blog comments). You have nothing to lose as this will not make anything worse and it may help.

Questionnaire for Surrogate Tapping Volunteers

I will perform one of two different types of sessions.

Correspondence will be by e-mail.

Those that answer yes to question 1 below will be given a one-hour session. I will notify you of the session 24 hours before I perform the session but will not give a specific time.  A follow up questionnaire will be sent to document any changes.

Those who answered yes to question 2 below will be given 5 short (10 to 15 minute) sessions during the week. I will notify you by e-mail when the series of sessions will start. A follow up questionnaire will be sent after the 5 consecutive sessions have been held.

If you answer yes to both 1 and 2, I will decide which session to use.

1. Do you have a specific issue, incident or pain you want worked on? ______
a. If you do what is it?
b. When did it start?
c. What was going on in your life at the time?
d. Any other info you think is pertinent.
2. Is there a nonspecific ongoing emotion you wish to work on such as depression, panic attacks, anxiety, etc.?
a. When did this start?
b. Do you know why it started?
c. Was there a specific event that happened at that time?
3. Are you willing to fill out a form with in 24 hours after notification that a session has been completed? ______ This form will be sent with the notification that a session has been completed.
4. Provide your name and City, State (or Country if not in the United States).
5. Please provide an e-mail address. This e-mail will not be sold or given to others.

Did you know that most energy work could be done without the benefitting person being touched?

The NAET person I go to for allergy elimination will work on babies, small children and animals. But for each of these she has the parent or owner hold the baby or animal or in the case of a horse the owner touches the horse. This is to put the benefitting entity in the energy field of the surrogate (parent/owner) while the practitioner works on the surrogate. The benefit is transferred to the one being touched.  Isn’t that wild?

Did you know that for most energy work, the person being worked on does not even have to be in the same room! When I am feeling sick and just don’t have the energy to work on myself, I will ask my husband to run Reiki on me. I usually ask him over the phone as he is often somewhere in the country on business. He will then run the energy when he has time, and I can usually tell when he is running energy for me, as I will start to feel better. I also know if he gets interrupted, as I will start to feel worse. I seem to require a lot of energy to get me over the hump to where I stay feeling better. In this case the energy work is not surrogate work as my husband is actually sending the energy to me. It is labeled long distance work.

With Meridian Tapping, the practitioner will often use themselves as the surrogates. I have done this. I call the person’s energy to me or if the person is too weak to allow their energy to leave, I will just say I am that person and this is for their benefit as I tap on my self.  Some EFT practitioners pretend the person is sitting in front of them and they tap on an invisible person.

Why would this work? Maybe it is because we are all connected. We all have energy running through us, could this energy be connected?  The energy of the tree, the energy of the rocks and dirt, the energy of your neighbor, the energy of your worst enemy. We are all connected. What hurts one, hurts us all. What benefits one, benefits us all.  It is the spirit of life, of existence.

Yesterday I said I would give you some back pain stories.

Several years ago my husband and I took an aviation radio to be fixed. At the repair shop were two men, one of which was hobbling around all bent over, he could barely walk. He looked to be in much pain. My husband is the more forward of the two of us and he mentioned to him that he looked like his back was bothering him (to put it mildly). The man said he woke up like this. My husband said, “My wife can help you with that”. I saw incredulous and fear come across his face. I quickly said, “I won’t touch your back, in fact I won’t touch you at all, you will do it yourself.” Now he was intrigued. We sat down and I showed him the points I wanted him to tap on and we went through about 5 rounds. When he stood up he was amazed (as is usually the case). The pain was gone. He was walking upright again. His partner at the shop who witnessed the whole thing commented that he wasn’t twinging any more.

Then the rest of the story came out. The previous night his wife had a very bad asthma attack and he felt helpless to do anything. His body was accommodating him in feeling helpless. It is like the body says, “Oh, you can’t do anything about this but you should do something, well I will give you a real reason you can not do anything.” Then kapow! he was disabled (not able).

Another story involves an elderly lady who has to work to make ends meet. She is rather resentful that she should have to work at her age and she was telling me that working and lifting the heavy bottles at the store made her back hurt. I quizzed her a little bit and she came to realize that the back pain started when she was getting ready for work, before she even got there. This was obviously an emotional issue. I sat her down and did two rounds of tapping on the back pain. I then asked her how she felt. Well she was so startled by the change that it scared her and she did not want to go on.

The rest of the story is that she really enjoys the pain, the attention, the feeling of being a martyr and really doesn’t want to give it up. I know that if she was not so scared of losing the pain, within an hour we could eliminate the root emotional cause of the pain and she would not have it ever again. All we did at the time was greatly reduce it for that day. I have also found that emotional pain will often come back the next day but if it is consistently worked on each time it comes up it will finally give up and go away (that may take 2 –3 weeks). Or if the root cause is found and tapped out, it will go away for good.

The last story I will tell today is very interesting. I had a client who had back pain off and on, literally. When ever she put her bra on her back hurt. This lady was not heavily endowed. There was no reason for her back to be hurting because of the bra. For this client I had to dig into what the bra meant to her. Once we worked through this, the pain was tapped away.

There are many different Meridian Tapping Techniques but the most well know is EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), which involves tapping on specific acupuncture points. The idea is to cover the entire meridian.

By putting energy into the system you can unblock the system. Think of it as being similar to using a plunger to unblock a drain. Tapping is great at unclogging the emotional system. The clogs may be due to phobias, fears, anger, jealousy,etc, all of which we consider to be “negative” emotions. I have successfully cleared fear of heights, fear of flying, fear of spiders. Many times it only takes a one-hour session to clear others may take a couple.

What I think is interesting is that the tapping does not affect positive emotions. I have developed a reason for this. We come into this world with the fruits of the spirits. The love, peace, hope. These are innate in our being. As soon as we are born, we start tacking on the negative and we insist on carrying that baggage around with us the rest of our lives. Or maybe we just don’t know how to let go of it. This negative baggage can affect us not just mentally or emotionally but also physically. I have found that so much of our emotion is lodged in our body producing pain. I have cleared so many back pains that were emotionally induced. I will tell about some of these tomorrow.

Meridian Tapping provides a great way to release these negative emotions. Give it a try. You may be as impressed with it as I have been.

Just like we have a circulatory system, a lymph system and a nervous system, we also have a meridian system. The meridian is an energy system and parts of it have been photographed. I understand that it is as thin as a fishing line.

After I read Donna Eden’s book Energy Medicine: Balancing Your Body’s Energies for Optimal Health, Joy, and Vitality — Updated and Expanded I started running my meridians every morning. That is when you run your hand over the meridian. Just like in Reiki where the palm is used for healing, your palm is used to smooth out the meridian and get the energy going in the right direction.

Once you learned the meridians, it does not take long to do. A couple of minutes while in the shower does it. What are my benefits? Well, I don’t give anything up easily and that includes my blood. I am not a free bleeder. If I bleed, it is not for very long. So when I give blood it takes at least 20 minutes, and usually 3 people come and go on the table next to me. I have even been stuck and they could not get anything to come out! After I had been running my meridians for a couple of weeks, my husband and I went to give blood. This time I was finished before my husband was, and he has “garden hose” for veins (those are his words). He asked me what happened, did they give up on me and I said, “No, I was through”. The only thing I could attribute that to was that I had been running the meridians, one of which is the heart meridian and another is the circulatory meridian.

It is an interesting exercise and I recommend it. You may not feel any obvious changes right away unless your meridians are really messed up to begin with.

Yesterday I talked about NAET, which is geared to allergies, but there are forms of energy work that are geared to physical problems. One is Reiki. The reiki.org website explains it well. “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.”

My husband has had Reiki training and explains it as a laying on of hands. He has used it to help my son with his headaches however he has not been as successful with my headaches. My husband says I hold on to them for some reason. I found out where my headaches are coming from when I had a life reading this summer, but that is a topic for another day.

Do you have a massage therapist that you really like? One that when you finish a session you feel a lot better and more carefree? They may be using Reiki or another form of energy work besides just massage. Chiropractors also tend to use a lot of the energy modalities. Our local military base has even allowed Reiki in to treat soldiers (but it is a through the back door operation. The military is not ready to openly acknowledge it because of complications with insurance coverage.)

Tomorrow I will talk about an energy method that our western medical doctors and psychiatrist are starting to use very successfully, but this one you can even do yourself.

Are you familiar with Meridian Tapping? If not I highly recommend it. If you don’t know what I am talking about go to www.naturallyresilient.com and watch the video on EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). This is an example of a Meridian Tapping modality. Meridian Tapping involves tapping on various acupuncture points to stimulate them and add energy into the meridian. By adding this energy, many problems can be easily overcome.

Sounds weird doesn’t it. That is what I thought when I first heard of it.

My first experience with a Tapping Therapy involved NAET (NAET.com), which is mainly geared to allergies. I had been going to an allergist for years, taking shots, was even on high powered inhalers because I had developed asthma. I hate not being able to breath, that is the one fear that really scared me most of my life, suffocating. May be that is from a past life experience.

I had a friend that saw how I was suffering, gasping for breath. She recommended some one who did allergy elimination. It sounded so weird; it took me 3 months to talk myself into going. I reasoned I would try it one time and see what happened and if it was a fraud, I was only out a small amount of money.

I was blown away. The first treatment was for my lactose intolerance. Before the treatment if I took a tablespoon of milk, I would end up in the bathroom in agony for 3 hours with what my family fondly calls the screaming squirts. But wow, after the treatment, I could eat ice cream and drink milk again. I continued going back to get all my allergies cleared up. The treatment for grasses cleared the asthma.

Needless to say, I was impressed and have been an advocate for energy medicine ever since. Give it a try; you may be just as blown away as I was.

Ok, your life is hard, too hard. You don’t think you can go on much longer. If this is your contract you made before coming here, you may have decided you have taken on more than you can handle, can you rewrite the contract?

Have an earnest talk with you guides and tell them how you feel. They are there to help you. If you want it changed, tell them. However they maybe able to see farther down the road and you may be closer to the end of your troubles than you think. Unless you anticipated such a move when you wrote the contract you could probably change it. If you anticipated that you might try and back out, you might have put a ‘no back out’ clause in the contract knowing that you could endure and the results would be worth the short term discomfort. Remember our current life is like a drop of water in the sea of existence.

Hang in there

I talked about having a contract from the “other side” before we get to this plane of existence.

What kind of contracts would we write up? I believe it is things that would further us along our path. Maybe we need to learn acceptance so we agree to a contract with others who will be that child or elderly parent who we will need to accept into our lives. Or we may make it more personal and come into this world with a deformity that will make us hard to accept to others.

Maybe we need to experience patience or abundance. Just like a painter has to put light against dark and dark against light for the colors to show, we have to experience the hate to experience the love, experience the need to appreciate the abundance. There is a reason we have the negative, it is so we can see the positive.

Just be assured that you will experience what you need to experience and be where you need to be as that is in your contract. Hopefully you have written in a good ending.
