Before you do the tapping, or active meditation spend 5 minutes focusing in these alleged facts of life. Then, do the exercise below.
– See if this makes sense…

There is a life force flowing through your system, animating your body, and your mind.
It animates the body, and it animates your mental system (your thought process). It animates the personality, the intellect, it regulates your perceptions, your expectations, and all your reactions. This life force circulates the blood (arteries: oxygenated blood from heart to organs, and veins: deoxygenated blood from organs back to the heart). It regulates your body’s digestion, and it activates the elimination process. This life force animates your physical and mental systems, and the systems do everything for you. This life force; lives within you, and it gives you the wisdom to choose from the many options you find in your environment.

It constantly creates ideas that appear and disappear; to be replaced by the next idea, it all happens within seconds (65, 000 thoughts each day). All these tasks happen without our conscious, or active participation. That is the life force flowing through us, life animating-living us, but then… when we talk, we take credit for making all those things happen.

Think about it, thoughts and feelings appear and disappear on their own, we simply experience them…and then, they get replaced by the next thought and feeling. This process happens by itself, even when we are sleeping, we dream and feel many different sensations, all without our conscious participation. All humans do the same thing, we all say “they are my creation! my ideas!”
All of us take credit for making things happen in life … and yet, most of the time we have no idea how things work. Do you know how to digest food? Nope, the system does it for you. Do you know how to grow hair, how to fall sleep, and when to wake up? Nope, the system does it for you. Do you know when to eat, drink, or when to shift your sitting position? Nope, the system does it for you.
Humm, I wonder what new idea (thought), or feeling will show up next?
I have no idea what will I be thinking or feeling two minutes from now. Do you? Nope, nobody does! The system does it for you.
• Rate the veracity of the statement: 0 = NOT TRUE 10 = Absolute Truth
• Rate the intensity of the feeling: 0 = NOT NOTICEABLE 10 = OVERWHELMING

Exercise:
1-These insecurity (self-doubt) ideas between my ears, these feelings, impulses, and physical sensations in my body
2-This is another regular; temporary experience for someone in this environment, with this history and these memories. And, everything changes, this too shall pass!
3-When it occurs, it is overwhelming. I don’t really know what is happening to my system; and I don’t know what to do with all these feelings… but, then it passes!
4-All this emotional drama is intoxicating, and temporary. It comes and goes, it appears and disappears on its own.
5- After that, the experience becomes one more memory in the system. It is safe to let it go
1-These ideas just pop up into my head, and the feelings, impulses, and physical sensations overwhelm my system for a while. It lasts; until another thought brings up a new feeling, and everything changes.
2-I don’t invite-in these thoughts and feelings. I don’t really want them in my life. They just show-up, and I get lost in this emotional rollercoaster
3-I don’t know how it began, but I know there was a time when I was free of these memories and feelings. It is time to let go
4-When it started I didn’t know what to do. So, for many years I just acted out, and now those memories are in the system reinforcing the old habit
5-I was immature, I felt confused: afraid and excited. I didn’t know what to do. But I survived that time, I know we are resilient, we always bounce back. It is wise to let go

1-The past is over, it can’t be changed. Now, that event is one more memory in the system. It is OK to let go
2-I survived childhood, I survived those years, I am here now, I’m safe, it is safe to let go
3-When I was a child, I thought like a child, I used to reason and behave like a child, but now that I have grown-up these childish behaviors don’t serve me anymore. It is OK to let go
4-I am here now, I have everything I need to handle this moment. Childhood is over, it makes sense to let go
5-Enough is enough, this old habit doesn’t serve me anymore. I am aware this is an old, automatic reaction to stress, I have new resources, it is time to let go. I’m letting go now

-Take three deep breaths = long- slow exhale (10 count)
-Visualizing the numbers: Count Out loud from 98 to 7, skipping 7 = 98, 91, 84, 77, 70, 63, 56, 49, 42, 35, 28, 21, 14, 7,0 (*)
-Deep breath, may you enjoy your day. Repeat two or three times each day; for five consecutive days, notice the difference.
Re-test:
• Rate the veracity of the statement: 0 = NOT TRUE 10 = Absolute Truth
• Rate the intensity of the feeling: 0 = NOT NOTICEABLE 10 = OVERWHELMING

That is how life works, “thoughts” make up stories. Each thought comes with a feeling that supports, and makes the story appear, and feel real. Bottom line, we experience life via thoughts and feelings.
THOUGHT is the intelligent, creative energy which animates our bodies, and animates our personality, our intellect, and it creates feelings. Thought is a constant formless energy which keeps changing forms, and creating all kinds of feelings.
Our life experiences are made of thoughts and feelings. All thought forms (all ideas) appear and disappear to be replaced by the next thought form (the next idea), the same as every second appears and disappears to be replaced by the next second.
Imagine that!
For as long as we have known humans exist; this same process has been going on, over, and over!
Welcome to earth, may you learn new ways to enjoy your human experience.
Until next time,
