Tapping International

Hi everyone,

I was in a workshop this past weekend. We were using EFT and TAT to manifest abundance. When one woman laughed between rounds of EFT while telling her story, I unexpectedly saw in her face, in her smile, the face of my grandmother. My grandmother has been dead for over 7 years now but right away I felt a deep sadness come up.

There seemed to be two parts to it:
1. My grandmother lived her entire life in fear (of everything; of life, of living, of simply being alive) and she died as afraid as she was when she came in. She had no access to wonderful tools like EFT and/or TAT and she passed on her fears to her children... who then passed on their fears to my brother, myself and all of our cousins. What a sad legacy.

2. I realized that, having been over-seas at the time of her death and somewhat disconnected from the event and even from her having passed at all, perhaps I hadn't ever mourned her death properly.

So, as I cried, I tapped for #1:

Even though my grandmother never had a chance to heal, she had to live her entire life out in fear, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: She didn't have EFT, she had to live in fear, she lived in fear, it's so sad.

I did two rounds on that but then I realized I was also a bit angry because I felt that it wasn't fair, that something in the cosmic system must be wrong if she had to suffer like that, that maybe spirit should have considered a cosmic system up-grade earlier than they did so that my grandmother could have benefited from it (yes, I believe in past lives and karma and, yes, I believe that we choose our own paths so that no one's really a victim but sometimes we're just a human being who feels "IT'S NOT FAIR"!), so I tapped on the anger:

Even though it's not fair that my grandmother didn't have the tools we have today, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: It's not fair, she had to suffer, something's wrong in the spiritual set-up when people don't have access to healing, it's not fair, they should have fixed it earlier.

After that round, that issue seemed to be cleared up but when I thought of that woman's "grandmother" smile again I still felt very sad so that's when I thought it might be because of #2.

While I thought of her face, I tapped:

Even though my grandmother's smile makes me cry, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: That smile, her smile, makes me sad, reminds me of my grandmother.

It came down to about a 5 from a 9 or so. I went on:

Even though I still have some sadness when I think of my grandmother's smile, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: Remaining sadness, my grandmother's smile makes me cry, it makes me sad.

I needed two rounds on that and then, because I still felt there was a smidgen left, I said her name in the set-up phrase:

Even though Gammus' smile makes me sad, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: Gammus' smile, her smile makes me sad.

After that, I was able to think of the woman's smile and feel fine.

One thing that became clear to me through this experience is that EFT is truly a monumental gift! I had a huge wave of relief and gratitude toward Gary Craig and all the people who are out there teaching and spreading this amazing healing technique when I thought of how I don't have to live with or pass on to anyone my anger, shame, fear, sadness, guilt, depression, etc. I have EFT and I have the power to release all my unwanted emotions. This will benefit both myself and others!

So, I entreat you, please tap, as often and on as many things as possible! If you won't do it for yourself, then do it for your children, for your grandchildren, for all the generations that will come after you. You have the chance to free them from YOUR issues by freeing yourself. They can be liberated from our "legacy of pains" in a way that our parents and grandparents couldn't be. I encourage you to do what you can to show them how to live more joyful lives than we or our ancestors have had the opportunity to live.

Tap, tap, tap your way to peace. :)
