So, it really is amazing that when the student is ready, the teacher will come. In addition to cruising google images for photos of things I want to be, do, and have and putting some really cool stuff into my Deva Datebook and thoroughly enjoying the beautiful spring flowers that are everywhere, I've spent the last couple of days tapping. I had barely heard of EFT or meridian tapping years ago when a friend was learning about it, but I had somehow gotten onto an email newsletter list about a series of podcasts talking about the ins and outs of tapping yourself healthy, whole and thriving. I missed most of the series but tuned in for the last couple of presentations and decided to try it out. Based on the system of energy meridians in the body, which are accessed by acupuncturists to help release blocked energy, the concept is that we can release blocked energy in our selves by literally "tapping" on specific energy points and speaking some statements about a specific problem. (Like "I have this incredible pain in my lower back," or "It really sucks that I don't have any money.") This release of blocked energy usually involves the release of an old uncomfortble memory or belief pattern that we may not even have known existed but that we then realize has been manifesting in our body in some way or even keeping us from accomplishing our goals and dreams.
I followed along with some of the demonstrations and was amazed by just how great I felt afterward, even if the specific problem being addressed didn't go away completely. Then, I did a tapping specifically regarding the lower back and by the time I finished the 5 minute session, the pain and stiffness was completely gone! I leaned all the way over in my chair and wrapped my arms around my knees and stretched out my whole back and it felt so good! That was 2 days ago and even though I've been spending tons of time sitting in front of a computer, my lower back hasn't hurt at all. The other tapping session I did that had a kind of funny, interesting outcome was one I followed along with about money (or the lack thereof.) As soon as the mini session ended, my phone rang, it was my father-in-law and he needed my address so he could mail me the $100 gift card that came to his business as a rebate for a cell phone I had bought my son months ago. I actually laughed out loud into the phone and hurt his ears! I'll be using that card to pay for my other son's birthday party this weekend, which is one of the things I was stressing about.
I've decided no Deva's repertoire is complete without more information on tapping, so I'll be delving into it more deeply. Anyone who would also like more info can go to http://www.thetappingsolution.com/ or simply google "meridian tapping" or "E.F.T." Or, if you're already an expert, please share some knowledge!
On a hilarious note, any grown ups who want to laugh hysterically, or shiver uncontrollably, should check out a photo I found when I was googling images of skydivers. I did NOT specifically look for pictures of nude skydiving, and cannot imagine anything more cold and uncomfortable, but what falling through space at that speed does to a woman's breasts is just inconceivable. I also would never have guessed how turned on a guy could get by falling through cold empty space. Turn off your child safety settings and google it yourself.
Have the Reddest day ever!
In Grace,
Kell
