Dr. Mercola Recommends EFT

The Ultimate Stress-Buster that I Believe Belongs in Everyone's Self-Help Arsenal. There are many techniques to choose from to help quiet your stress response and regain a healthy balance of brain chemicals. Qigong, meditation, and yoga are three very popular techniques that help many individuals maintain calm. You want to find one that brings about positive emotions and thoughts and creates a sense of inner peace. Keep in mind that what works for your best friend may not be your ideal method. Peace and calm protect precious brain cells from unhealthy stressIn my clinical practice, I have tried a variety of methods, and have been exposed to many more (both traditional and alternative) through my medical background. In my opinion, none have come close to the "Emotional Freedom Technique," or EFT. EFT is a form of psychological acupressure that, while it may appear amazingly simple, can have positive effects in its ability to help reduce negative emotions while instilling positive ones. The theory behind EFT is that lightly tapping with your fingertips along a special sequence of energy points can activate your body's bioenergy within a few short minutes. The combination of positive mental focus on your identified concern and this physical stimulus to your body's biochemistry may help diminish your issue – be it stress, cravings, or emotional baggage– in a fast and expedient manner. Interestingly, these energy points are finally being recognized by mainstream America. According to the principles of EFT, No matter how devoted you are to perfecting your diet, exercise and lifestyle… you cannot expect to achieve optimal brain and total body health if emotional barriers stand in your way.

MD writes article on Emotions, Energy & Healing

By Eric B. Robins, MD

Michelle, a bright, perky, 21-year-old woman, arrived in my office complaining of severe bladder pain. She had to urinate frequently and urgently. I did a complete medical workup but could find nothing out of the ordinary—by the standards of my profession there was nothing wrong with Michelle. Yet it was clear to me that Michelle’s pain was real, and her physical symptoms were real. After I had finished looking in her bladder with a cystoscope and found everything to be normal, I ventured, “Sometimes women with your symptoms have a history of sexual abuse or molestation. Is this possible with you?” In the corner of her eye, the slightest of tears welled up. It turned out that Michelle had been sexually penetrated by an uncle almost daily from the age of three, till she was ten years old.

I asked Michelle to think back upon these memories and find a part of her body where they were strongest. She said she could feel them acutely in her lower abdomen and pelvis. I asked her to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the mildest and 10 being the most intense. Michelle rated her feelings at 10 out of a possible 10.

I then spent 45 minutes working with Michelle, using some of the simple yet powerful techniques I describe below. I then asked her to rate her level of discomfort. It was a 1—complete peace. I urged her to cast around in her body for the remnants of any of the disturbed feelings she had previously felt. She could not find them, no matter how hard she tried. The emotionally charged memories had been so thoroughly released that a physical shift had occurred in her body. Her bladder condition disappeared. In the three years since that office visit, it has never once returned.

Conscious Immunity

What comes to mind when you think about your immune system? Do you think about an army of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs ready to go to battle to defend you from organisms and substances that invade your system and cause disease? Do you visualize little Pac-Men like creatures gobbling up all the little buggies?

How about cancer? Did just reading the word flame the fire of fear? Say these words out loud right now: "I have cancer."

How did your body react? Did your heart race? Face flush? Shoulders tense? Stomach tighten?

Though medical science has made some breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, many of us still think "DEATH" when the word is mentioned. An unfortunate fact that supports this thought is that many of us have had someone we love die of cancer. My nephew died of cancer just one month shy of his 14th birthday. It was indeed a tragic and traumatic loss for my family.

Sadly, one thing our health care system does not address adequately is the emotional factors of cancer and other dis-eases. I had one client who was in the doctors examining room, wearing nothing but a paper sheet, when she was given the diagnosis. No family in the room, feeling vulnerable and alone, with no one to physically, emotionally or spiritually support her. While driving home, reeling with thoughts of how she was going to tell her three children, she rear-ended a car at a stop light and severely injured her neck.

It just makes intuitive sense that a body experiencing fear, trauma, stress, and guilt is not in the best shape to heal anything. And though the medical community is well aware that emotional dis-ease set us up for physical dis-ease, traditional medicine does not address the emotional house as a part of the treatment plan. Mother Teresa once said she wouldn't march on a war against anything. Nothing is cured by war. But we often speak of "fighting cancer". I truly believe a body that is at peace with itself and infuses all its cells with love has a better chance of freeing itself of any dis-ease than a body at war with itself.

Though I am not a doctor, I consider myself a healer. In my experience, it matters not what symptoms or disease the body is presenting. Be it back pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, low energy, chronic sinus infections, Parkinson’s Disease, depression, and even cancer, the body cannot effectively heal itself until the underlying toxic emotions that are trapped in the body’s subtle energy system is released. It’s also important to know that these low frequency emotions are mostly driven by limiting beliefs and fears of the subconscious mind.

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is the most effective and efficient way I have found to free these toxic emotions and reprogram the subconscious.
EFT is a universal healing modality that is easy enough for almost anybody to learn but is powerful enough to assist people with everything from debilitating phobias to serious health conditions. By using a gentle tapping procedure that engages the same energy system as acupuncture, EFT rapidly balances the body and eases the emotions.

Gary Craig, founder of EFT, feels that this indispensable method of dispelling negative emotions should be available to all and has made the method easily available on line at www.emofree.com.

Scientific studies are now emerging that supports what literally millions of people around the world have experienced: EFT, as well as other energy medicine modalities, moves the mind-body to a deeper level of peace, creating a more optimal climate for the functioning of the immune system.

Dawson Church, Ph.D., illuminates this research in his empowering book, The Genie in Your Genes. This book reports the findings of over 300 scientific studies that reveal why energy- and consciousness-based medicine will transform healthcare. Dr. Church deftly explains how genes are being turned on and off by beliefs, emotions and attitudes. I found this study particularly revealing:

“…researchers looked at people who were lonely and depressed, and compared the expression of their entire genome with a happier group. They found 209 genes that were differently expressed in the unhappy people. The nature of the affected genes is particularly interesting. They code for, amongst other things, markers of our levels of immunity from disease. So unhappy people had weakened immune systems and were more susceptible to illness.”

The book also chronicles how a patient altered the degree of clumping of her red blood cells (RBC) by using EFT. The patient’s doctor examined the live red blood cells using darkfield microscopy before and after the patient used EFT. Here’s what Dr. Church writes:

“Our dominant medical model does not believe that physiological processes such as red blood cell clumping are under the control of a patient’s conscious mind. [This] usually takes months of treatment, if it can be accomplished at all. Yet in just two rounds of EFT, lasting just a few minutes, were enough to produce an immediate and visible change in the degree of cell clumping.” (The pictures showing the change in the RBC was nothing short of miraculous!)

I am not suggesting that EFT should replace medical care. However, the research is illuminating that our psychology plays a definitive role in our physiology, and supports the theory that bodies free of toxic emotions and energy disruptions have enhanced immune function.

If you or a loved one is affected by cancer, you may be interested in an EFT support group. During each meeting a specific aspect of living with cancer will be addressed, including:
• Releasing the trauma of the diagnosis
• I feel guilty that I might have caused this cancer
• Who am I now that I have cancer?
• I hate chemotherapy!
• I'm sick and tired of feeling sick and tired!
• I'm ready to release the old toxic emotional junk

Coupled with individual EFT sessions, fears can subside, limiting beliefs and attitudes can change, emotional wounds and traumas can be repaired, so the body has a strong immune system and peaceful environment in which to heal.

Wanting the best for my group mates opened the door to my own healing. As I focused on their healing and giving them my positive thoughts it opened up the flood gates to allow healing for myself. I also saw how many of my struggles are ones that other people have as well. I don't feel alone in my journey any more. I am in a completely different place. I am feeling more confident. My digestive issues are 100% better.“

Introducing Matrix Reimprinting

Most integrative and alternative healers, and many allopathic physicians, recognize that most of the diseases that are part of our society all have their origins in life stresses, beliefs and traumas. Thus, to heal any condition we have to heal the mind and the body simultaneously.

An exciting new treatment for physical, emotional, and psychological dis-ease is emerging from the field of Energy Psychology: Matrix Reimprinting. As with many momentous breakthroughs, such as penicillin, insulin, The Pill, gravity, and pasteurization, Matrix Reimprinting was a serendipitous discovery.

Allow me to introduce Matrix Reimprinting through the words of its innovator, Karl Dawson. Karl is a Master EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) practitioner. He has done phenomenal work with clients with serious diseases.

“To understand how Matrix Reimprinting works, you will need a basic introduction to some of the modern theories of quantum physics. What quantum physicists have helped us to understand is that we are all comprised of energy, and that we are all connected by a unified energy field. This notion has been popularized more recently by films such as The Secret and What the Bleep do We Know?, and more and more people are coming to accept the understanding that this field exists.

This energy field was originally referred to as the 'Matrix' by Max Planck in 1944. In more recent years Lynne McTaggart has referred to it simply as 'The Field,' Greg Braden has talked of the 'Divine Matrix,' whilst Rupert Sheldrake has talked of 'Morphic Fields.'

This field or matrix is all around us, and connects us to our past. This is because we hold our specific traumas and stressful life experiences in the matrix, and they influence our every thought pattern, behaviour and action. To understand how this is so we can draw on the findings of modern psychology in relation to trauma. Any psychotherapist or psychologist can explain what happens in the body when a trauma takes place. Part of us splits off or disassociates to protect us from the trauma, and this is why we often don't remember a traumatic event after it has taken place. But where does this disassociated part go when it leaves us? My experience over the last couple of years has led me to understand that it goes into the matrix.

We hold in our fields the stressful life events that have gone before, not just as memories but as specific energy bodies, which I have named Energy Consciousness Holograms or ECHOs. With the Matrix Reimprinting technique we can work directly with these ECHOs, resolving the negative energetic charge around them. This changes our relationship to our past, and affects our emotional and physical health in the present.”


As a psychotherapist, I am well aware of how the body protects itself from trauma through dissociation. An extreme example of this is Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. There have been several documented cases of DID when the dissociative parts have different physical manifestations. For example, one personality is an insulin-dependent diabetic, but the other not; one personality requires glasses, but the other has 20/20 vision.

I have been working with Matrix Reimprinting (MR) for several months now and just completed a two day training in Annapolis, Maryland. The results I have been witnessing have been transformational.

If you wish to learn more about MR, I suggest you take two free webinars taught by the co-founder of the book, Matrix-Reimprinting, Sasha Allenby. You are going to love her fetching British accent. The webinars can be accessed at www.matrixreimprintingtelecourses.com:

Transforming Core Beliefs

By Sasha Allenby

Last month we introduced Matrix Reimprinting, a new meridian tapping technique created by Karl Dawson that has far-reaching, positive effects on both physical and emotional health. This month we are going to explore how it can be used to rewrite our core-beliefs.

The work of cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton highlights how our beliefs are formed in the first six years, and how these early beliefs continue to affect us in adulthood. In his book The Biology of Belief, Dr Lipton explains why the first six years are so crucial. During that time our brains are mostly in aDelta or Theta, preconscious state. This is the same state the hypnotherapists drop their clients into, to make them more suggestible. This hypnogogic state means that in that time we download the world around us as though it was the absolute 'truth'. If this truth is that we are bright, beautiful, special, loved and valued then positive core-beliefs are formed. But if we hear, experience or witness things or situations which tell us the opposite - that we are stupid, worthless, unsafe, unloved or unvalued - that is how we go onto perceive ourselves throughout life, until we transform our core-beliefs.

It's those beliefs formed in your early childhood that may be preventing you from living your life to the full in the present. And they affect you subtly or obviously. It might be that you don't go for that promotion you know in your heart that you always wanted, that there is a fear around advertising your business, or that you stay in a relationship that is not serving you. Whatever you are consistently doing that is sabotaging your success, can often be traced back to your core-beliefs.

So lets take a look, from a Matrix Reimprinting perspective, at how these beliefs are formed and more importantly, how they can be transformed. In Matrix Reimprinting we believe that our life experiences, both negative and positive, are held as 'pictures' in the Matrix, and that we subconsciously tune into these pictures, which affect our health, our wellbeing and our behaviour on every level. If we have lots of traumatic, negative life experiences, then we have lots of negative pictures that we keep tuning into. And the trouble is that our subconscious mind is not time-framed like our conscious mind, so when it tunes into a negative picture from the past it does so with the same perception as if that event was happening in the present. That is how we can sometimes feel 'triggered' often for no apparent reason, and begin to express a behaviour that is unresourceful.

The thing is, our early life experiences don't need to have been severely traumatic to create negative pictures. Often, especially in the case of core-beliefs, it is the 'small t' traumas, that happened repeatedly that told us we were not good enough, worthy, safe, valued, and so on, that create these core-beliefs. When are participants undertake the core-belief work on our Matrix Reimprinting training, most of them are running one of the negative core-beliefs at a very high rate, and it is always an eye-opener for people to learn that their seemingly confident or outgoing fellow participants are running 'I'm unloveable', 'The world is a dangerous place', 'something must change for me to be OK', and so on, at a high intensity. The good news is, that when we work on the relevant memories that created these beliefs, they can quickly transform.

With Matrix Reimprinting we have found that if you tap on specific points on the body's meridian system whilst focusing on a negative core-belief, it helps you to tune into the life experiences that created it. You can then use Matrix Reimprinting to go back to that point in time, give your younger self new resources, say or do the things you wished you had said or done, and transform the negative core-belief into a positive one. All this is carried out whilst tapping on points on the meridian system, to release the trauma from the subconscious mind, the body and the matrix simultaneously. When you tune into and resolve the memory or memories that created the core-belief, you will be amazed at how quickly someone goes from believing they are 'flawed' at 80%, for example, to that belief only resonating with them at 20% after transforming one or two memories. And it is relatively easy to get the belief down to a zero and for it to have no emotional resonance with a person anymore.

Top 5 Reasons People Fail to Achieve Their Goals

#5 - Lack of Support / Try to go it Alone: Without a team of support, or at least a cheering section, it’s very hard to achieve what you are aspiring to do or be. Having people to go to for advice, assistance, to talk things through with, or cheer you on when things get tough is almost essential to succeed at anything. Think about getting together an advisory committee, a personal coach, and/or a support group before undertaking a personal or business goal.

#4 - Giving up too soon:
Setting a reasonable time frame is an essential step to goal setting. However, if you don’t meet the time schedule, don’t give up! It may just mean it’s time to re-assess your strategy or revisit the motivation for achieving the goal in the first place. This is another reason to have support.

#3 – Lack of Focus:
As with giving up too soon, if you find yourself doing everything but the tasks necessary to achieve your goal, you may actually be lacking the desire and interest to obtain whatever the goal is providing you. Ask yourself, “Why do I want to achieve this? “What problem will this solve, or what will it provide me?” “Is there some other way of getting this need met?”

#2 – Self Sabotage:
Self sabotage is a term used to describe the things people either do or say, which ruins success or the happiness they may be experiencing in their life.

#1 – Limiting Beliefs

An important point to remember about self sabotage is that it is not something which is done consciously, but rather subconsciously from the subconscious mind. This means that even though you may want to achieve success and happiness, there are limiting beliefs you have acquired throughout your life (most commonly during childhood. You may subconsciously not believe you are worthy or deserving of obtaining success or happiness. Limiting beliefs in your subconscious mind can prevent you from achieving more than your beliefs think you are worth, stop you from achieving anything at all, or destroy something once you have achieved it. Therefore the beliefs you have in your subconscious mind act like a “success thermostat”. They will constantly regulate what you achieve, and make sure you always have what they think you are worthy of. Or as I often say, "What you believe on the inside you will create on the outside."

Don’t let self sabotaging behaviors caused by subconscious limiting beliefs stop you from obtaining what you want in your life. Talk to Forrest Samnik at (727) 781-6567 or visit www.LifeWorksWithEFT.com TODAY!

The Master and Mommy: Raising Utah February 22, 2010


February 22, 2010

My grandson is being born today. My son just called to say Jaynee is in active labor and we should have a baby sometime this evening. It's hard to believe my Mom died exactly one week ago. The circle of life has never been more apparent to me than now. I wonder if these two souls are meeting in the middle of the matrix as they take their journey to opposite poles of existence.

As I'm scurrying around to get chores done prior to the call to come meet our newest family member, an utter surprise is being delivered. My husband comes through the door and instead of his usual "Hellooooo" I hear, "Honey, remember when you said the only time we could have another dog is if God delivers one to our doorstep?"

I hear him, but I'm not processing the question. I turn the corner into the kitchen and there curled up in his arms is a brown fur ball with big hazel eyes looking cold and scared.

Joe tells me he spied the little thing while coming down our driveway - cuddled up under a tree. It's cold by Florida standards today. Joe gets out of the car and calls to him. The puppy trots right over to him. About the same time, Joe sees a big dog from the other side of the fence racing towards him. Not taking any chances with what just might be a highly protective mama dog, Joe runs into the garage and hops up onto my car. Upon closer inspection, this older dog doesn't look like like a mom, in fact the sex of the dog would make it impossible. So Joe closes the garage door and enters the house.

When I take the puppy into my arms, it's like instant love as my nurturing instincts turn into high gear. I set the puppy down to get a good look. He has no collar or tag, he's definitely a boy, he's cute as a button and as sweet as a Hershey's Kiss and the same color too. Joe thinks he has pit bull in him. He looks all lab to me.

The conversation moves to what do with the little guy. Joe says, "Well, if he does have pit bull in him, we can't keep him! I wouldn't feel safe having him around the baby." I lift my eyes off my new found love and reply, "You better make your mind up fast cause I'm bonding with this little dude!"

Of course there's the ethics of just keeping him. Joe and I talk about situational ethics all the time. The ethical thing to do is put an ad in the paper and call the local Animal Lost and Found hotline. I ask, "When should we do this?" Joe says, "When we get back from Utah".

"UTAH!!! That's what we should call him!", I proclaim. And Utah he is.

We decided to keep our eyes combed for lost puppy ads. So much for situational ethics.

What a day!! It turns out our grandson is in no hurry to make his debut. By the time he is born, both Mom and Dad are exhausted and asked that we wait to come in the morning. So, Joe and I take Utah to the local pet store for some essentials.

I'll keep you posted on our new family that grew by 2 in one day.

You're Invited to be the Creator of your Experience.

As Maryanne Williamson says, "We are powerful beyond measure".

So if we have the power to create chaos, don't we also have the power to create peace and calm? If we have the power to create poverty, don't we also have the power to create abundance? Is it also in our power to create health if we in deed have the power to create illness?

If this concept is upsetting to you, I suggest you try the following EFT tapping sequence.

ROUND ONE

Setup:
Even though I believe life happens to me not through me, I deeply and profoundly accept who I am. Even though I believe my reality is out of my control, I deeply and completely accept this belief in this moment. Even though I believe my experience is beyond my control, I deeply and profoundly accept who I am in this moment.

Tapping Sequence

This belief that life is out of my control
This belief that I am not in control of my circumstance
This belief that I do not have the power to change my circumstance
This belief that I have no control over my life
This belief that I am powerless to change my life's circumstances
It's rediculous to belive that I have control over my life
I refuse to believe I have created this mess
It's not my fault!!!!

ROUND TWO

Setup (change "anger" to fit your own emotion if appropriate)

Even though I'm angry that people think I'm responsible for my life, I love and accept myself and this anger. Even though I feel angry when people intimate that I've created this mess, I deeply and profoundly accept who I am. Even though I get really ticked off when people think I chose to live this way, I deeply and completely love and accept how I feel.

Tapping Sequence

The gall of these people
Who do they think they are?
I do not choose to live like this!
I did not consciously create this circumstances!!
I'm angry that they think I did this to myself!
I'm really angry!!
I don't want all this chaos (debt, stress, pain, worry...)
I did not choose all this!!

ROUND 3

Setup

Even though I don't believe I'm in control, I choose to be open to a new reality. Even though I don't believe I can do anything to change my circumstances, I choose to be open to the possibility of a new reality. Even though I didn't consciously create this current situation, I choose to be open to the possibility of a new reality.

Tapping Sequence (this is 4 rounds)

I don't believe I have the power to change my circumstance
It is not my fault
I want things to change but I don't know how
If I knew what to do to change things I would
It's scary to think I have the power to change
What would I have to give up?
There's something that's keeping me rooted in this situation
It's too hard to change

I'm afraid to look at what I need to do
I choose open to the possibility that I can do it
There's so many things working against me
I choose to be open that this can happen for me
I'm afraid if I change things someone will be mad at me
I choose to be open that change happens easily and effortlessly
I don't know what to do!
I choose to know the answers are readily available to me

I choose to be open to the possibility of a new reality
I choose to know this can happen for me
I choose to envision what I really want for myself
I choose to see a new reality as a possibility
I choose to recognize I am worth getting what I want from life
I choose for this new reality to come easily and effortlessly
I choose to focus on what I want and let the rest go
I choose to see this new reality coming forth

Where to go from Here

Ask yourself what would be downside to giving up your current reality. Would someone important to you be upset if things changed for you? Would you be giving something up? Would it feel safe to have things change? What would you be missing if things changed? These are all tappable issues.

Ask yourself if you are worthy of having the life you want. If not, why not? Tap on all the reasons you do not feel worthy of having what you want.

Still stuck? Consider working with a Certified EFT Practitioner.

Bad habits more acceptable than tapping? Please weigh in on this!

Yesterday, I was talking to client who had a fear of public speaking. She was preparing to give a very important presentation to her boss which could potentially catapult her career. We were discussing ways she could tap under the table using EFT points on her fingers, hands and wrists just prior to speaking so she could remain calm and confident.

She said, “This is great! If anyone noticed it would just look like I had bad habit, like biting my nails or something.”

So what’s wrong with this picture?!? We live in a society where it’s more socially acceptable to have a bad habit than to publically apply a healing technique that is literally change lives for the better!?!

What can we, you and I, do to change this mindset? I want to hear from you today, so please pass on your ideas, thoughts, and comments.

Today’s Tapping Script: Feeling Overwhelmed

For basic EFT instructions, log onto www.lifeworkswitheft.com/pdf/eft_short_cut_method.pdf.

A diagram of tapping points can be found at http://lifeworkswitheft.com/tapping_points.htm.

Round 1:

Setup: Even though I’m feeling totally overwhelmed with all I have to do today, I deeply and completely accept who I am anyway. Even though there’s too much to do and not enough time to do it, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I don’t know how I’m going to get it all done and I just feel like giving up, I deeply and completely accept how I’m feeling in this moment.

Tapping Sequence:
I feel totally overwhelmed.
There’s way too much to be done.
I’m stressed and I haven’t even gotten started yet.
I just want to go back to bed and give up.
There’s just too much to do.
There’s no time for me.
No one should expect me to do all this is.
It’s just not fair!

Round 2:

Setup: Even though I feel resentful that I have to do all this today, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself. Even though I’m angry and resentful that I’m expected to do all this work, I deeply and profoundly accept how I feel. Even though I’m angry and resentful that no one even appreciates all that I do, I deeply and profoundly, appreciate all that I am.

Tapping Sequence:
This anger and resentment;
All this anger and resentment that there’s too much to do
They don’t understand that this is impossible to get done;
And they don’t even acknowledge all my hard work;
Why do I even bother?
They really take me for granted;
I’m really angry that they don’t appreciate all that I do;
I’m resentful that they just expect me to get it done.

Round 3

Setup: Even though I may have taken on too much because it’s hard to say no, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I want to please everyone instead of taking care of me, I respect who I am anyway. Even though I’m afraid I’ll be rejected if I say no, I love and accept who I am.

Tapping Sequence
It’s hard for me to say “no” to people
What if they get angry at me?
Or reject me?
I wonder where this fear of saying “no” comes from?
Was I allowed to say “no” as a child?
Was I praised in the past for taking on more than I could safely manage?
For some reason it doesn’t feel safe to say “no”.
I choose to give myself permission to say “no”.

Tapping into Forgiveness

If you don't know how to perform the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) copy and paste this URL to access instructions: http://www.lifeworkswitheft.com/pdf/eft_short_cut_method.pdf


Round 1:

Even though I still feel the pain of this injury and it doesn’t feel safe to let the anger go, I deeply and profoundly respect who I am anyway. (repeat 3 times)

This pain still feels so raw
All this anger and pain
I’m so angry about this
How could he/she do this to me?
Feeling this anger is safer than feeling the pain
I need this anger
I refuse to let go of this anger
This anger is my protection, and it’s not safe to let it go

Round 2:

Even though I still feel some of this anger and I don’t want to let him/her off the hook, I deeply and completely love who I am anyway. (repeat 3 times)

This remaining pain and anger
I don’t want to let him/her off the hook
They need to know how much they hurt me
They need to pay for what they did
If I let this anger go, I might be vulnerable to another attack
I still need this anger to keep me safe
I need to protect this pain with my anger
I refuse to see the part I played in this

(Repeat Rounds 1 & 2 if intensity level did not drop 3 or more on the 0 – 10 scale)

Round 3:

Even though a part of me wants to let this anger go, a part of me still wants to hold onto it, and I’m pulling for both part. (Repeat 3 times)

I want to let go of this anger
No I don’t
Yes I do
This anger is only hurting me and I choose to let it go
I choose to let this anger go
I no longer choose to give him/her my power
I choose to reclaim my power by letting this anger go
They do not deserve all this energy.

(Repeat rounds 2 & 3 until the intensity of the anger is at zero. Feel free to choose whatever words or feelings that are coming up for you.)
