I had an interesting client last Sunday. This one was suppose to be an EFT session for back pain. I often have great results using EFT for back pain. We tend to carry a lot of emotional baggage in our backs. EFT is great at getting rid of the emotional baggage. I often start with addressing the pain itself and when movement starts to slow or ceases I will delve deeper to try and uncover emotional reasons for the pain. Often addressing the pain itself is all that is required.

I did get some movement addressing the pain itself. It went from an intensity of 6 to a 4 but then it seemed to stall. I probed for emotional reasons and soon found several possibilities. But addressing each of these were not getting the results I thought we should be seeing. She then told me that the tapping on the side of her hand (the KC point, see my page on Tapping Points) was sending tingles down her body .

I started tapping on various other points and asking if she felt energy with them. I found that the points corresponding to the small intestine and the triple warmer points created sensations. I decided to clear and trace the corresponding meridians.

After finishing her right side, she said the right side was feeling good and all the pain was now on her left side. So I ran the meridians on her left side.
She was feeling pretty good after that. She could do some of her yoga positions that she could not do when she came in. I thought it was interesting that flushing and tracing the meridians cleared the pain.

I was thinking about the Garden of Eden story today. There are two points I wish to make.

The 1st is a rather simple statement. If you have no knowledge of good or evil, then you would not understand that eating what you are told not to eat is evil and not good?

The 2nd is viewing the whole story as allegorical. I got this idea from my dear husband.

The Garden can be viewed as Abundance. Adam and Eve were living in abundance, they had everything they could want or need. The eating of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is the awakening of the idea of scarcity into their lives. If you live with the mindset of scarcity you can no longer live in abundance. The two cannot coexist in the same mind. You are either living out of scarcity or living out of abundance. When they shifted to scarcity, they saw they were lacking, they hid because they were naked (lacking). So they had to leave the Garden – abundance.

God is abundance, God is the energy of the universe and so God is all things. When Adam and Eve experienced scarcity they also experienced a loss of the intimate relationship with God because abundance and scarcity cannot coexist.

This Garden of Eden is actually a mindset. We can go (and are going) back there but we must first release this concept of scarcity so we are free to embrace the abundance. It is very hard to release scarcity. We see it every time we pay bills at the beginning of the month. We see it every time we go to the grocery store and see a limited amount of cans on the shelves. We experience scarcity every time we turn on the TV news. As long as we see scarcity we are still in scarcity.

How can we overcome this mindset?

Express gratitude in all you see and experience. Be grateful even for the “problems” in your life, as you don’t know what benefits they will provide you.

Use affirmations about the future but phrase it in current terms such as “I have plenty to share”.

See abundance in your life where you have it. Is it friends, is it love, is it money, is it time? What ever it is, rejoice in it.

Who has written on the walls of your life? What I mean is who has said or done things that really influenced your life.

Often we think of the special people who had a positive impact on our life, like the teacher who pointed out what you were really good at, or the neighbor who took you in when times were rough at home, or the friend that showed you the world could be a friendly place.

Sometimes the writings are not that helpful. I am sure whoever put the writings there never meant for them to be a hindrance.

One of the writings that I had to struggle with was that God wanted us to give every thing away and live under a bridge. This does not make much sense. But I had a strong religious upbringing that somehow enforced this idea. Last Sunday I realized where this came from. We have been reading Proverbs and there are many sayings in there that talk about it being better to be poor and honest than rich and wicked. Somehow I got the part about it is better to be poor than rich but the rest of it went right past me. You realize who wrote most of Proverbs? King Solomon, the richest man in the known world at the time. Was he poor? NO.

He was just trying to make a point that happiness and honesty are to be valued and treasured. If you are a rich businessman but you are also dishonest in your dealings, you will have to work extra hard to hold on to your position and customers and sales because people will find out and not want to deal with you again. However if you are poor but honest and you consistently work toward your goals, you will succeed and prosper because people will see you are honest with them and that is what people want.

An idea that it is better to be poor than rich can be pretty limiting. How do you get over these debilitating writings on your walls?
Meridian tapping and EFT work wonders in getting you past this. I actually did work on this issue several years ago and it is no longer a strong influence in my life. You often have to dig a little deeper than just the surface statement such as it is better to be poor and give everything away. Often an objective 2nd party can help you see the trees in the forest that are causing the problems.

Even though I do not watch the news (too much negativity) I have been hearing about Haiti and all that is going on. Everywhere I turn people are taking some kind of collection for them. If the supplies can get through the corrupt government without ending up on the local black market, the people should have quite a few supplies to help them out.

What they do not have is help with their emotional scars. What kind of emotional turmoil would such devastation do to a people, an individual? If you suddenly lost all your family, all your friends, your home, how well would you cope. We get upset when the dog dies. Would we curl up and die? No, we would learn to cope, we would get through it. The end of the world would be upon us but we would continue.

There is something we can do for the emotional turmoil in the area. We can send love and peace. We can do that by intentionally radiating the positive emotions toward the people affected. Sit for a minute and think on Haiti. Then feel peace and send that to them. Then feel calm and send that. Then feel love and send that. Think of the change that could occur if 1000 people sent such good intentions to them.

If you do EFT tapping or Meridian Tapping, try tapping out the emotions as you send them. You know what will happen don’t you? You will start to feel the peace, the calm and the love. You cannot send emotions without feeling them yourself.

Yesterday I talked about passion and how every one must live their passion.

I can think about one group of people who do not have passion — they have lost it. It reminds me of the Golden Compass where every one had an animal familiar attached to them but when the familiar was “detached” from them they were lost, incapacitated, did not know what to do. To me that describes a depressed person because they have lost their passion.

I can talk about this because I went through a year of depression myself. It is difficult. You do not see any sense in life. No activity really makes sense. There is no hope.

In my case the cause was unacknowledged anger. I did a lot of self-help and inner child work at that time because I remembered feeling different and knew I could feel different. I finally stumbled on a section in a workbook that said to write a letter to some one you are mad at. I could not think of any one but decided to write a letter to some one who just popped into my mind. There is a reason things pop into your mind at specific times.

I did not know I had so much pent up anger. But boy did I feel good afterwards. I did 5 loads of laundry, cleaned two bathrooms, mopped the floor and went for a walk!

It is funny, even though the depression had left, I still felt like the depression was the truth and the life I was now living was a lie. It was almost like a wet blanket was thrown over the smoldering coals, but the coals were still smoldering. It did take several more years to totally smother those burning coals.

I did not know about EFT or Meridian Tapping at that time. If I had I believe the depression would have left faster with no smoldering coals below the surface.

If you have depression, check out my website and book a session. Depression is one of those deep issues that may take more than one session. www.naturallyresilient.com

The Bible in the energy medicine world is Donna Eden’s book “Energy Medicine”. This is a must have for anyone serious about energy work. I have read through the book and then tabbed various sections and refer back to them often.

Since I have incorporated her meridian tracing into my morning routine, when I give blood it goes much faster than it use to. Before, 3 people would come and go in the chair next to me while my bag was filling but after tracing meridians for several weeks I was like the normal people around me, in and out in a jiffy.

Donna Eden covers all types of things. Not only the meridians but also The Aura, Celtic Weave, Basic Grid, Five Rhythms, Strange Flows and of course the Chakras. She also list Acupuncture Tapping Points and it is interesting to see how these differ from the EFT points I learned.

This is a very good book and I cannot emphasize enough that you need this book if you are doing any serious energy work.

You have one week left to get in on the surrogate study I am running.  January 31 will be the last day to sign up for the study. I would love to have you participate as the more people, the better the study will be.

Surrogate tapping is when someone (me in this case) performs the EFT on themselves on the behalf of someone else (you). You do not need to be there or even be aware of when the session is performed.

To learn more about surrogate tapping log into www.naturallyresilient.com and sign up for the free monthly tapping routine and receive the free  “Surrogate Tapping -How to do it” report.

If you are interested in participating, just leave a comment (I screen comments so your comment will not be shown to the public) and I will send you a questionnaire to determine the best tapping routine to use for your problem. Don’t be shy, let me hear from you. It won’t hurt and it can only help.

I just read a piece about the difference between positive and negative emotions. You thought you knew the difference right?

Positive emotions make you feel good and negative ones make you feel bad. Well it has a little more depth than that. This study said that positive emotions broaden your perceptions, thoughts and behaviors, while negative ones narrow them.

Hum, with that type of definition it sounds like there are times when negative emotions are helpful. The negative emotions can help you focus in a crisis. They are the ones that alert you to danger. But the positive ones help you be creative and see all sides to a situation.

What I believe happens is that we get stuck in the negative emotions. Our jobs require our focus and the stress in life often makes us focus and live in crisis mode. But it is the positive that makes life enjoyable and meaningful. What we need is to get unstuck. The negative emotions should only be used sparingly and only when they are truly needed.

How do you unstick yourself? Meridian Tapping or EFT is great at unsticking negative emotions. I publish a monthly tapping routine that is geared to moving you out of the negative and into the positive. Go to www.naturallyresilient.com and sign up to receive this free monthly self-help routine. Sometimes I will send out information that I think may be helpful but I will never sell or give you e-mail address to any one else.
