ISSUE #13: WHEN PAIN GETS IN THE WAY
Welcome to Issue #13 of the Attracting Abundance Newsletter.
*** NEW Attracting Abundance Teleclasses...Please visit: http://www.attractingabundance.com/teleclasses.html ***
*** Attend the seventh annual Toronto Energy Psychology Conference from November 9 -14 http://www.TorontoEPC.com ***
WHEN PAIN GETS IN THE WAY:
In my opinion, nothing is more distracting than physical pain or ailments. It is almost impossible to focus on abundance when your back is throbbing or you are struggling with a migraine. This makes some of the suggestions I have been giving --- making gratitude lists and focusing on the positive aspects of your life --- quite challenging. So I thought we could all tap on the aches and pains, and see if that helps us get some relief so we can pay more attention to the gratitude. When we are focused on gratitude, we turn on and become little magnets and attract what we want into our lives.
What most of you know is that our emotional conflicts are showing up in our bodies anyway, so tapping on your feelings of anger, hurt, and guilt will help (I have seen this time and time again) the physical sore spots, leaving more room to attract abundance.
This is what I wrote in the last newsletter:
"Remember that all of our feelings are influencing our energy system and our vibration. The "cleaner" our energy system is, the higher our vibration. The higher our vibration, the faster we attract what we want into our lives, whether it is money, love, or good health. The Universal Law of Attraction mirrors our energetic vibration. If we are grateful, appreciative, and optimistic, the doors to what we want in our lives will open rapidly. I didn't used to believe this "theory" until I tried a few experiments---the results were undeniable!"
So identify a distracting ache or pain (this can be an emotional ache or pain for those of you who don't have any physical ailments) and start tapping as indicated below. Once cleared, the path is open for magnetizing your desires.
PAST NEWSLETTERS
I highly recommend that newcomers review past issues of this newsletter. Reading them and tapping along will help you break through comfort zones very quickly. Past newsletters can be viewed by going to the following page: http://www.attractingabundance.com/newsletters/.
Below you will find EFT Setup Phrases followed by two rounds (one negative and one positive) for this newsletter's topic, When Pain Gets in the Way.
1. EFT SETUP PHRASES
The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:
While tapping the karate chop spot on either hand, repeat these phrases out loud, (or change the words to fit your exact situation).
"Even though my pain is in the way of attracting abundance, I choose to feel grateful anyway."
"Even though I'm afraid I can't focus on abundance when I am in such pain, I accept and love my whole body."
"Even though I feel distracted by the problems in my body, and don't feel I deserve success anyway, I have decided to appreciate all of me now"
I have indicated where to tap while saying each of the phrases below. You may repeat this round more than once if you wish. (Those of you who are new to EFT may view a chart of the spots on my web site under the EFT pages.)
***Now, for the phrases that focus on the problem***
Eyebrow: "The pain has my attention now."
Side of Eye: "I resent the aches and pains in my body."
Under Eye: "I don't know why my body feels this way."
Nose: "My body is trying to communicate with me."
Chin: "It's hard to concentrate on success and abundance."
Collarbone: "I have all these feelings in my body."
Under Arm: "There is scarcity in my body."
Head: "I have these pains in my body and don't feel successful."
***Now for the positive focus on the solution***
Eyebrow: "I now realize how much abundance is in my life."
Side of Eye: "There are parts of my body that still feel good."
Under Eye: "I appreciate many parts of my body and all of my feelings."
Nose: "I know we are all worthy of abundance."
Chin: "I am releasing these aches and pains."
Collarbone: "I choose to feel grateful for my body and how much it has done for me."
Under Arm: "I am so grateful for the opportunities to attract abundance in my life."
Head: "I love knowing that I can choose to be free and abundant right now."
Then tap on the following phrases as you complete one more round:
I love knowing we all deserve abundance...
I choose to believe in the guidance I am receiving...
I appreciate the prosperity in my life...
I love appreciating my body, my friends, my opportunities...
I'm grateful for all the new opportunities for abundance...
I feel free to appreciate my life...
I appreciate exactly who I am...
I appreciate my whole body...
I am so grateful for all the prosperity in my life.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS AND TIPS:
RECOMMENDATIONS
BLESSINGS:
I am recommending that you BLESS everything. Even if this sounds corny at first, I highly recommend it as a daily exercise. It takes virtually no time since you build it into your regular day.
Every time you pick up a pencil, open the computer, drink a glass of water, bless it. So instead of just saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes, say "Bless you" to every person and every object in your path. This does not have to be out loud. But the intention does have to be genuine.
For those of you who feel uncomfortable blessing inanimate objects or strangers, go back to the THANK YOU GAME from last week. It might be easier for you, and activates the same energy.
THE THANK YOU GAME:
THE THANK YOU GAME: Simple, yet incredibly effective, the Thank You Game will raise your vibration in a matter of seconds. All you have to do is list what you appreciate either out loud or on paper, by starting your sentences with:
Thank You Universe (or Higher Power, God, Inner Being, Spirit, Higher Self)
First list things that you are already enjoying, then list things you hope to attract into your life. For example:
Thank You, Universe for my lovely apartment.
Thank You, Universe for all my caring, loving friends.
Thank You, Universe for my excellent health.
followed by:
Thank you, Universe for bringing me the professional opportunities that are perfect for me.
Thank you, Universe for bringing me such a wonderful resolution to the conflict at work.
Thank you, Universe for bringing me avalanches of financial abundance.
There is no limit to how long your list should be. Try listing your Thank You's out loud as well as in written word to figure out your preference.
Again, this "game" is both deceptively simple and wonderfully rewarding. It is one of my favorites.
Tip:
Below is the surrogate tapping tip from the last newsletter:
SURROGATE TAPPING is a technique used by many EFT practitioners when they feel helpless, are far away, or want to help someone near and dear to them. Many in the EFT community have been using surrogate tapping for the hurricane flood victims. There are several forms of surrogate tapping. I will describe two:
(1) Choose the person or group you wish to help. When you tap on your karate chop point, use the 3rd person language: "Even though they are scared and frightened right now, I deeply and completely love and accept all of them...Even though they are worried about the future, I choose to send them peace and feelings of safety..." Keep tapping the points using "they/them" as your subject.
(2) Choose the person or group you wish to help. When you tap on your karate chop point, "pretend" you are that person energetically. For instance, "Even though I feel devastated by this loss, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway...Even though I have so many fears about the future, I choose to feel calm and peaceful..." Continue tapping on the sequence of points, pretending you are that person and are feeling his or her emotions.
Other tips, recommendations and games can be found in my e-book, "Attracting Abundance with EFT."
