There's writing all over the walls in our hamster cages. Life's a struggle, always has been, always will be. We watched our parents struggle and now we think we have to do the same. There was not enough for their generation and it was considered noble to be honest, to struggle and work hard for a living, your reward will be in Heaven. And so we get on the hamster wheel and then it becomes a habit and the less it works the harder we work, running round the wheel ever faster and harder. And that's exhausting.
We live in a climate of fear, the credit crunch, the terrorists, the child-kidnappers. We are fearful, perhaps more than ever before and our emotional response to those perceived threats can escalate to be way, way over the top. Our whole society is based on fear including our economic structure and we are so energetically connected to our fellow man, we cannot help but react to their fears and emotions too. You only have to watch the news or read the papers. Ah no, on second thoughts, don't do either of those things!
I asked Ann this morning what she could teach us to do to disconnect from this. How can we be in the world and watch the drama like a play without allowing it to become our drama? Just like going to the theatre and choosing which play to watch, how can we literally choose our own life rather than being carried along on the tide of others' fears? If our thoughts and feelings create our future, why would I choose mine to be one of fear? That doesn't have to be your reality either when you can choose something else that you deserve.
On this theme, here's Ann's tapping script for the week (remember to change the words to suit your own personal circumstances if the script doesnt feel like a good fit for you):
- Even though it's such a struggle for me and the more I don't get what I want, the harder I have to struggle, I deeply and completely love and accept that part of me that's struggling.
- Even though I don't believe that I can be, do and have it all, so I'm locked in this cycle of fear and its hard to trust myself or anybody else, I deeply and completely love and accept all those parts of me, no matter what.
- Even though I try and try and try so hard and that takes a lot of energy and I feel stressed and exhausted most of the time, I'm open to the possibility that actions come from deep inspiration.
- Eyebrow (EB): It's such a struggle
- Side of the eye (SE): Life's such a struggle
- Under the eye (UE): I'm working harder and harder and longer and longer
- Under the nose (UN): Don't know how to get off
- On the chin (C): Just dont know how to get off
- Collarbone (CB): And I'm open to the possibility that I have infinite choice in every moment of every day
- Under the arm (UA): I'm open to the possibility that I am in the process of clearing this now
- Top of the head (H): I'm open to the possibility I can create a new and exciting way of doing what I really love
***
- Even though I learned to struggle at a very early age and I was told it was noble and a good thing to do, I'm open to the possibility that way of being in this century may not be working for me.
- Even though I'm terrified of change because this what I've done all my life and I learned this from Mum & Dad and my teachers and television and they all taught me how noble it is to work hard and struggle, I'm open to the possibility that I can find a new way that's right and natural for me.
- Even though they said I should word hard and struggle for a living like go out and get a good job, I'm open to the possibility they learned that from their parents and their parents' parents and their parents' parents' parents and they did a great job of teaching me that.
- Even though that's their belief and it doesnt have to be mine, I was just a little child and I thought it was the truth, I'm open to the possibility it was their truth and it doesn't have to be mine.
- (EB): I've been buying into somebody else's truth all these years
- (SE): And Ive been acting that out
- (UE): What if they were wrong?
- (UN): What if they were wrong?
- (C): I'm open to the possibility that truth belonged to them and their generation
- (CB): It doesn't have to be mine
- (UA): Maybe it's just like the Tooth Fairy!
- (H): I'm open to the possibility that I'm releasing it now.
***
- Even though it's hard to change just like that because I've been struggling so much I'm going to struggle with this as well, and that makes me feel helpless and hopeless, I'm open to the possibility I can tap on a daily basis and the more I tap the more I'm going to clear these beliefs that don't belong to me.
- Even though I'm terrified of change, I'm open to the possibility that not too far away from me now, sombody's empowering themselves and standing strong and tall and maybe I could do that too.
- Even though I don't know how to do that and I need more support, I'm open to the possiblity that support is always there and maybe I just have to ask.
- (EB): I can't do this on my own
- (SE): I just don't have the time or the inclination or the energy
- (UE): Maybe
- (UN): Maybe not
- (C): Maybe I could be open to the possibility that I could tap on this fear for 15 minutes every day
- (CB): Maybe I could find places and find 15 minutes of time to do the work
- (UA): Maybe I could make the time and it would be easy and effortless
- (H): And I'm open to the possibility I can be more happy, more successful and earn more money than I ever dreamed possible.
***
- Even though that means I have to do another thing every day, I'm open to the possibility that I'm in the process of releasing beliefs that no longer serve me.
- Even though that's just another chore to do and I'm exhausted already, maybe I could hold it in my mind that I am changing my reality with every tapping round I do
- Even though its such a struggle to tap every day, I'm open to the possibility the benefits will be beyond my wildest dreams.
- (EB): It's so hard, it just means I've got to do one more thing
- (SE): It's just another thing to do on a daily basis
- (UE): It's just too much
- (UN): Maybe
- (C): Maybe not
- (CB): And whether I do or whether I don't, I can still love and accept all those parts of me
- (UA): And I'm open to the possibility I can create a new reality beyond my wildest dreams
- (H): I wonder what that would be like?
