EFT Meditations

Vibrational Whiplash From EFT (“Tapping Makes It Worse!”) Dear One, I received an email from Alicia (name changed for confidentiality reasons) which I got permission to share here: Hi Lena Trust you are well. I have been tapping on 2 issues related to abundance recently, and was shocked and upset by the completely negative results. One of which was re: price negotiation of an apartment, but strangely the seller suddenly refused to sell after i tapped on the pricing. i related this to you before. The other more critical issue is this, which i need your advice on: I tapped on receiving recognition (NOT job promotion or pay raise, just plain awareness or gratitude from the boss!) for my general work effort. However, immediately after 2 nights of tapping, one big project which i just started on was very badly received - my boss literally flung the documents and completely rejected every proposal put forth, humiliating me infront of my team. she has asked me to resubmit the proposal by tuesday, and if i fail this time, she has plans to fire me. this is bad beyond my wildest expectations. I read from the EFT forum a similar experience related by user: http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/t/5721.aspx Do you have advice for me? Any further explanation on this? Perhaps on a deeper level, i am simply not ready to receive abundance? I am scared to tap on anything now, for fear of receiving such a massive whiplash. I daren't even tap for inspiration/ideas for the revised proposal which i am suppose to crank up during this long weekend. Hope to hear from you, thanks very much for your time, help and kindness. Regards, Alicia My email reply to her is as follows: Thanks for your email. When we are starting on our healing journey, it can be initially quite unpleasant, cos now we are peeling away the layers of the onion and letting all those yucky stuff rise to the surface. Think about a pot of decomposed food that has been covered for years. Now you finally decided to take a look at it, and you open the lid. But opening the lid is only the first step. You're kinda at this stage now. You have just opened up the lid and the stench of all those decomposed food is attracting flies like crazy. That's why you are experiencing all these negative experiences, which are actually a reflection of those hidden fears within you. I welcome you to see me for private consultations so that I can support you in your healing journey and clear away those issues more cleanly. Everyone needs support on their healing journey... and it doesn't have to be THAT painful. Take your time to decide, and when you are ready, just let me know. In the meantime, keep tapping, and you will ultimately see spring blossoms one day. It was not only her who have been experiencing unpleasant situations with EFT. Few days ago, I also received an email from a lady who attended the last "Prosperity with EFT" session where the topic was "Facing Our Greatest Fear". She shared with me that it was a very uncomfortable session for her, which was unusual as she usually felt energised by these sessions, and she did not understand why this session was so different. I was not surprised by her response as the topic for the session was indeed heavier than usual. I explained to her that fear is an energy that attracts negativity which usually manifests as physical discomfort, bad feelings and negative experiences. Hence, what she experienced was perfectly normal. And I congratulated her for what she wrote at the end of the email. "After much pondering, I remembered that you mentioned that we should accept whatever feelings we have and "it's ok". So, I told myself, "it's ok to have this feeling, I don't need an explanation or justification, just be with the feeling and I don't need to fear it". Pow! It was gone. Now, I am feeling calm and peaceful, even thinking of tonight's strange event did not affect me." The destination all of us is looking for is about joy, serenity, love, abundance and other bright and cheery stuff. Yet, to reach this destination, we need to clear ourselves of years and years of accumulated fears and negativity. Thank goodness EFT is a tool that can allow that to happen in the gentlest and most natural manner possible! If you are just starting out on your healing journey, and feel that life seems to be getting worse instead of better, this is an EFT exercise for you: Tapping on the Karate Chop point, say “Even though there are all these challenges coming up and it makes me feel really frustrated and discouraged, I choose to see these as opportunities for healing and growth.” Tap on the remaining EFT points, noticing the thoughts and emotions that arise, and finish off by tapping 2 - 3 rounds while saying “I choose to heal and grow.” Trust that as you progress on your healing journey, life will get better. Have faith, strive on!
