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.)

January 20, 2010 - Tapping your way to confidence

Even though I don't want to feel safe and confident because this not my reality right now, I deeply and profoundly love and accept who I am in this moment. (repeat this 3 times)

I want to feel safe and confident
I don't feel safe and confident right now
How can I feel safe?
I don't remember what that feels like
I want to feel confident
But confidence means I have to go out in the world
And that is not safe
I don't want to feel rejected and be reminded that I don't belong

There's a part of me that wants to remember
But there's another part of me that's afraid to feel confident
I want both parts to win
I feel safe
No I don't
Yes I do
I want to release this fear so I can feel confident and safe
No I don't
Yes I do

I'm ready to move into the world
I'm ready to feel successful, powerful and free
I'm ready to feel good about myself again
I'm ready to release this fear so I can live again
I'm ready to fully embrace the confident part in myself
I give myself permission to let this fear go
I choose to feel safe and confident
I choose to feel successful, powerful and free

Tapping on Anger

Even though I don't want to let go of this anger, I deeply and completley love and respect who I am anyway.

Round 1 (while tuning into an event that triggered the anger:
All this anger
All this rage and anger
I feel betrayed
I am burning up with rage anger
This pain of betrayal
It's hard for me to let this go
I refuse to let this go and let them off the hook
It doesn't feel safe to let this anger go

Round 2:

All this anger
I'm afraid to let it go
All this rage and anger
What if I let it go and it happens again?
What if I release it and he/she gets away with what they did?
This anger protects me
So I can't let it go
I won't let it go and no one can make me!

Round 3:

Even though a part of me is still holding on to some of this anger, another part of me wants to be free of it, and I am pulling for each part.

Deep down in side I want to be free of this anger
I am ready to look at what I need to change
No I'm not
Yes I am
I am ready to feel free of this anger
No I'm not
Yes I am
I give myself permission to release this anger

Round 4:

Even though there's still a small part of me that wants to hold on to the anger, I allow myself to speak my truth and release the pattern in me that created this.

I choose to release this anger
It is not serving my higher good
I choose to look at a healthier way to protect myself
Deep down inside I know what I need to do
I allow myself to recognize my part in this
I'm ready to make the necessary change to release this pattern
I choose to be free
I choose freedom from this way of being

Monday Tapping Affirmation

If you are feeling rejected, isolated, or subborn, ask yourself what you are not willing to hear. Then tap on "this fear of hearing what I need to know". End your session with this affirmation: "I choose to be open to what the universe has to say and rejoice in what I am able to hear!"

Friday Tapping Affirmation

Even though I have all this stored up stress from the week, I choose to lovingly release this toxic energy. (as you go through the tapping sequence be sure to tap on the specific events that created the stress)

How Does EFT Work and How Can I Learn it?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a universal healing modality that is easy enough for a school-aged child to learn but is powerful enough to assist people with everything from debilitating phobias to serious health conditions. By gently stimulating the body’s subtle energy system on specific tapping points of the head and upper body, EFT quickly clears the body of energy disruptions that cause physical and emotional dis-ease.

Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, has made this technique available to all by offering the EFT Manual free of charge through his website www.emofree.com. Over 1 million people worldwide have downloaded the instruction manual which is now translated in 14 languages.

EFT YouTube videos offers visual demonstrations which are a fun and effective way to learn EFT. EFT scripts are also available that can enhance your personal practice. I offer a monthly EFT Circle. This is a powerful venue for developing the art of EFT while being guided through the process in a safe and supportive environment.

EFT Help for Veterans

All our Vets are on the forefront of my mind today - Veterans Day. So I want all of you who are suffering from post war trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, or addiction that there is no need to suffer.

There are so many individuals and organizations who are willing and able to offer their services free of charge. I not only offer free sessions, using the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), to any post-war vet, but I'm also a member of Give an Hour (giveanhour.org).

EFT has been clinically proven to collapse the underlying issues that support the symptoms of PTSD and most other conditions our Vets experience. Please check out the video titled "EFT for War Veterans" at http://emofree.com/freevideos.aspx.

I realize it's not easy to reach out for help. Please remember, when you suffer all who love you and support you suffer along with you. You committed your life for us; now allow us to give back to you.

With love and appreciation,
Forrest
