This is a different way to go about getting relief. No spoken words, just tapping while reading something. It can work on anything you read that upsets you in any way. In this case, it happened to be an email I wrote to someone else.
In a nutshell, a person I was once very close to keeps accusing me of something that I did not do. I keep trying to take the higher road and explain calmly that I am not responsible for it. I suggested contacting the police to find out the truth. My suggestions were not followed because in that person's eyes I was the guilty party. For a long time, I wished him peace and to find the true perpetrator.
After repeating this many times in many email messages as well as complying to many requests for information and ignoring angry attacks from him … I guess I just popped a gasket. Much to my chagrin, it seems I’m human after all.
In answering his last request, I answered every last question (over 60) to the best of my ability then I brought up the subject of the accusation and I let loose. I had a great deal of anger in being unjustly accused so I just let it flow.
This is where the tapping comes in. I wrote and then I tapped. I won’t mention the language I used, the subject of the message or the number of exclamation marks, suffice it to say that as I was writing it and when I read it back I had to tap. I just tapped as I read, reading it over 7 times or more before I could release all the feelings:
* I tapped on the “righteous” anger that was flowing through me when I thought about the perceived injustice.
* I tapped on the shame I had because I was unable to be enlightened and high minded at all times.
* I tapped on the sadness over how difficult being human can sometimes be.
* I tapped on the frustration that he couldn't seem to hear my words when I was expressing myself calmly, frustration at having to speak "his language" (anger) to be heard and possibly believed.
I’d like to be able to say that I didn’t send the message the way it was written but I did. In fact, I think it was necessary. I had what I call a “foot down moment”, as I occasionally do. We sometimes need to set our boundaries and this was one of those times.
However, when I read the email now, I no longer feel the anger or the other emotions that came up when I was writing it. I can now release this situation completely, thanks to EFT. I sincerely hope one day he will, too. |
