I have so much to say that it almost difficult to get it all out. I think that I am in week #10 since starting the Tapping For Weightloss Program with Jessica Ortner. Tapping has become part of my daily rituals and almost essential to helping me keep my inner self calm, happy and peaceful.
What I have been doing is using Jessica's tapping scripts for various issues and as I do so, I begin to hear what my deeper issues are and then I do my own tapping. What the experts say is to tap the meridian points while talking about your feelings or remembering past events. In doing so I am able to get in the moment and raise the emotions that come with my thoughts and feelings. I really do need to blog closer to my releasing times because I can barely remember my breakthrough tapping sessions.
I know I have tapped on my self-esteem issues and recently my OCD, hair pulling. It took me a while to even want to tap on my hair pulling but the day I decided to do so, I just went with it. I talked about how it all started which stemmed from the stress of my family home as well as the stress of being a young teen. I felt better afterwards and can honestly say that I had less attachment to if it would work or not compared to wanting to lose weight. What I am finding is that I actually am not pulling at my hair and when I get the urge to do so, I tap instead. I do the set up statement at the least...something like, "Even though I am stressed and want to pull out my hair, I love and accept myself deeply and completely." I may even go forward and tap on the meridian points, "I am so stressed and I want to pull out my hair." If I have time, then I will then allow my mind to focus on what is making me stressed and then tap on that and even find a solution or at least a perspective to help me realize that my stress is unwarranted.
Other issues that I have been tapping on are my abundance issues as well as daily stresses that are pretty persistent that typically stem from being a homeschooling mom to teen boys. SHEESH!!! I feel like tapping right now just saying it. lol
What I am finding is that I feel WAY MORE CALM than I have ever felt in my adult life. I am sure at some point as a young child, I felt this calm but most of my childhood, I remember feeling stressed. Some days I have felt weird because my mind is not racing with stressful thoughts. It is an incredible place to be in after living in inner chaos for so long.
All in all the main theme for my need to tap is STRESS. I use Jessica's Tapping for Stress Relief mediation DAILY and primarily in the morning even if I don't feel stressed. Typically, when I follow that tapping script, I will get in touch with underlying stress that is waiting to come up as I get going in my day.
In my focus on tapping for stress relief I have discovered just how much stress and worry have been part of my life as a coping mechanism. When I was a child, I didn't have control over my home life or the people in it. An easy coping mechanism to protect myself and keep myself alert for what might come was worrying and keeping myself in a slightly stressful state so I was ready if an unexpected event happened. Over the years I have lowered both worry and stress but they are default settings for me when time get busy or rough. Through tapping I have been able to discover this default setting and am using my affirmative rounds to reprogram how I operate. I choose all things good such as happiness, faith, love, joy and peace. I trust my intuition and my higher divine nature and guides. I choose to stay calm because the calmer I am the more open to solutions and possibilities that exist.
At the end of the day I am happier with tapping and that is priceless. I started this because of my weight issue, which I had decided wasn't a real weight issue but something else when I began the Jessica's 7 week program. I have decided that right now I am more focused on creating a healthy lifestyle to include healthy eating and exercise rather than focus on losing weight. So that is code for I am not sure that I have lost weight yet. What I will say is that I have lost the weight of daily stress that used to ride my back from sun up to sun down. I have lost the weight of feeling like I am caught up in the chaos of my own mind, my own inner landscape that felt like a curse that could not be lifted. It is this horrible pain of stress that drove me to eat and to sometimes over exercise, which lead me to this place of struggling to lose weight effortlessly like I used to.
No more do I have that weight of stress and worry. When those two come knocking at my door, I tap, tap, tap away and get back to my better feeling place. I am not constantly eating anymore. I am happier and so that has been a gift that no weightloss I have ever achieved before now has ever granted me. It took me about 3 years to get to this place in my body and so 10 weeks into this program, I am okay with feeling like I am holding steady at the least in my body. Just before I started my weight was going up it seemed almost daily so holding steady while feeling peaceful is a win. I figure in 6 months to a year, I will be at my goal weight of 155-157 lbs. I have never been one to lose weight quickly, anyway, so this is nothing new.
WHEW! I guess I need to write me to avoid long posts but glad I sat down to write today because I never want to forget this journey.
Giving thanks this day for tapping/EFT!
