This powerful exercise takes advantage of a popular
dynamical behavioral system from chaos theory, known as....
"The Butterfly Effect"
In a nutshell, The Butterfly Effect suggests the probability
of a chain of events taking place that might possibly look
something like this:
Imagine a little
butterfly in Western Africa landing on the nose of a lioness
that is stalking a herd of zebra, and the butterfly causes
the lion to sneeze...which, then, startles the herd of zebra
into a chaotic panic! The ensuing zebra-stampede stirs up a
huge dust cloud, which subsequently creates an imbalance in
the local weather system. This weather imbalance causes a
severe thunderstorm outbreak ---which crosses the Atlantic
Ocean...where it then grows and grows into a category 5
hurricane; and then proceeds to devastate the entire state of North
Carolina!
.. .
Frightening scenario,
isn't it?
But, guess what?
Believe it or not,
your entire life may have been negatively affected
by The
Butterfly Effect!
You see, it is often those small, seemingly insignificant
events that happen to you early in life that can eventually
grow into overwhelming, lifelong, debilitating issues. This
includes any and all negative past experiences that you may
have had since the day you were born.
For example:
Let's suppose, seven
years ago, a 10 year old female soccer player missed a
game-winning kick that would have won the championship for
her team. Naturally, this girl felt devastated for letting
everybody down.
Today, that same girl is playing on her high school soccer
team, and even though that kick she had missed occurred
seven years ago, literally EVERY TIME she thinks about it,
or imagines herself missing that kick, her subconscious mind
automatically ACCEPTS that particular memory as though it
was actually
HAPPENING TO HER RIGHT NOW...ALL OVER AGAIN!
This is because, the
subconscious mind does not have the ability to distinguish
between what is true and what is not true. It cannot tell
the difference between something that has actually just
recently happened, and what is just the memory of the past
event. Therefore, even though the incident may not actually
be occurring right now, the subconscious mind only accepts
her memory of the event as though it
really is happening again....right at this very moment.
Now, every time that
high school soccer player is faced with having to make a
clutch game-winning kick, those nasty negative thoughts
and memories of HOW
SHE FELT when she
missed that kick come racing back. And now, instead of
kicking the ball perfectly, she just tenses up at the worst
possible moment!
So you can see that even though that missed
game-winning
kick happened
seven years ago, the anxiety that she experienced from
missing that kick will negatively affect her for the rest of
her life!
Even ONE negative event like that could quite possibly shape
that YOUR entire future, as well! It is the recurring
negative anxiety that
builds and builds from that one event which could have an
ever-lasting, residual negative effect on your life,
thereafter.
But, here's the GOOD news...
It's NOT
TOO LATE...to stop the
negative effects from those earlier experiences!
These exercises will help you clear out the anxiety, stress,
anger, grief, pain and other anguish you may still be
feeling today, even though the negative incidents may have
occurred many years ago!
PLUS, you'll
feel more comfortable with allowing yourself to forgive any
persons who may have contributed to each negative situation,
such as the person who stole your date for the prom...at the
last minute.
Remember that by
forgiving someone, you are not acknowledging that what they
did was right, instead it's saying that you are no longer
going to allow what they did to influence your life.
|
"Being angry with someone is like taking poison...
and then waiting for the other person to die."
A nice benefit you will
typically gain after you have forgiven others, is that you will often
notice many
unexpected wide-scale positive changes taking place in your life. You'll
soon see just what I mean.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here you will use the
Tap8
Power-Tapping Exercise for
Clearing Out Any Residual Anxiety Remaining From
The Negative
Experiences You've
Had Throughout Your Life!
.
You may have heard of some
health related products on the market that help you to
'cleanse your colon' of the harmful toxins that build up in your colon,
and can even weaken your immune system.
Well, now you are going to learn a simple technique that can essentially
'cleanse
your subconscious mind'
of the negative emotional memories from any unpleasant experiences you
have had throughout
your life. This procedure shows you how you can reverse the harmful
emotional effects from any
negative events you've experienced from your early childhood to the
present day.
Soon, you will begin to notice a real improvement in how you feel about
yourself, and your life!
DO
THIS FIRST:
Identify, and make a
list of every negative event or issue that you've
experienced throughout your life
(as many as you can remember)
that caused you
any stress, fear, anger, hurt, pain, grief, frustration, disappointment,
or anxiety.
Don't be
afraid to add something to the list if it feels stressful to you.
Please try to be as specific as possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE
NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Start each
statement in your list with the letter
–
I
|
I've
given you several good examples so you will know exactly
what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful
examples in your list, and add more of your own. These
examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different
types of common stressful issues.
You
SHOULD STILL tap through all of these examples
even if they do not directly apply to your own situation.
Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as
__________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate
response – if possible (and if it
is applicable). |
If you're not able to come up with at least 100 negative things that
you've experienced
during your life, then you're NOT really trying very hard!!
|
What negative events or issues have I experienced that made me feel anxious, hurt, or sad?
I feel
like I let ______ down when I ______,
I feel so guilty about not _______,
I feel so frustrated that I was not good enough to _______,
I feel so ashamed of myself for being caught _______,
I feel so embarrassed about getting beaten up in front of
_______,
I feel so embarrassed about ______ in front of all those
people,
I feel hurt after reading these awful comments about me on
________,
I feel so ashamed after hearing those people saying ______
about me,
I feel so angry after hearing those bigots shouting ______
about me,
I feel so disappointed and hurt about _______,
I feel so worthless after screwing up this important
_______,
I just feel like giving up after _______,
I feel so hurt from being called _______,
I feel so intimidated after being harassed by _______,

I still feel some of this remaining stress from ______,
Please add more of your
own stressful or traumatic experiences to this list.
|
Note:
Whenever you tap out the anxious intensity from the negative
aspects of an issue, it can be extremely helpful
if you replace that negative issue with an empowering,
positive CHOICE statement (a
Tap8
Power-Phrase).
And, there is nothing more empowering than making a
definitive choice to do something. That is why this
next step gives you a positive-choice affirmation
immediately following the removal of a negative issue using
the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this
Tap8
course.
PLUS, this step will help to make it a permanent habit for
you to automatically LINK a positive thought to any negative
issue, so that whenever something negative happens to you, a
positive thought will immediately
and automatically pop into your mind –
instead of a negative thought! |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS SECOND:
Create Your
Tap8
Power-Phrases...
Write "Even
though" in front
of each of your statements.
Then, add the following
words to the end of your statement:
"I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive anyone else
involved!"
For
example:
If your statement was...
"I
feel so hurt from being bullied by _______."
Your new statement would then become:
"Even though
I feel so hurt from
being bullied by ________,
I CHOOSE to forgive
myself for feeling this way, and I forgive anyone else involved!"
Do that for every
issue statement in your list from - above.
Just as I have done for you - below...
You are welcome to modify the
positive choice
Power-Phrases so they are
more applicable
to your own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal, and in the
present tense
(as though it is already happening now).
|
Even
though I feel like I let _______ down when I ______,
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive
everyone else involved.

guilty about not _______,

CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive
everyone else involved.

DO THIS
THIRD:
Perform
Your Tap8
Power-Tapping Procedure
...just like you did in your practice exercises.
And remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more tapping
repetitions you do,
the better your results
will be! So...KEEP
TAPPING!
Step 1
Select
a statement from your list above, and
mentally visualize
(imagine) yourself
feeling the stressful intensity that
you WOULD feel if you were actually experiencing
that
right now!
Step 2
Notice
how much stressful anxiety you feel when you imagine
yourself actually being exposed
to that issue.
Then, give that level of stressful anxiety a number rating
between 0 - 10...
(with 0 meaning that you feel no anxiety;
and 10 meaning that you feel extremely high anxiety).
Write this number next to the statement on your list.
Step 3
Concentrate
Deeply
on the
issue, and tap, tap, tap –
continuously, until your emotional
distress has been reduced
down to nothing (or when your number rating drops to ZERO)!
You will need to CONCENTRATE DEEPLY on how each issue makes
you FEEL (that means,
getting your anxiety soaring to high
levels)...while tapping through all eight
Power-Tapping
points.
REMINDER...
If you are not feeling any stressful intensity, then there
is nothing available for you to
clear out, and then the
tapping
will not help you.
Therefore it is VERY important that you force
yourself to
FEEL as much anxious intensity as possible from each issue
that you have listed.
That way, the tapping will be the most
effective for reducing the distress you
feel from ALL
of your issues.
Just as you did during your practice exercises, repeat the
statement, while you tap through all
eight points
–
continuously...until your remaining stress-intensity has
been reduced down to nothing
when you think about that
issue. Once you have finished tapping on all eight
Tap8
Power-Tapping
points...remember to take a deep breath,
and BLOW IT OUT slowly
after you complete each tapping
round.
Step 4
After
you have tapped through a complete round, think about that
stressful issue again,
and really try to build your
stress-levels back up as much as possible. Now, if you can
still feel
strong negative feelings or stress from the
issue, then you should tap out those remaining
negative
thoughts and feelings IMMEDIATELY (do some more tapping
rounds on that issue).
Step 5
Now,
check to see how you feel about that issue. Notice if the
anxiety you now feel from that
issue has decreased
from how it felt before you started tapping. If you still
feel some remaining
anxiety from the issue, give it a number
on the 0 - 10 point scale. If it is above a 0 (zero),
then
you should do additional rounds of the tapping on all eight
tapping points.
Your goal is to reduce your anxiety all the
way down to zero (no anxiety remaining) by
repeating this
process.
In addition...if there are any examples listed that do NOT
cause you to feel any anxiety or stress,
then simply tap
through each one of those examples as though you DO feel
(just pretend) anxiety and
stress from them. Tap through
each one of those examples for at least one complete
tapping round.
Doing this will help to insure that you will
be
less likely to be affected by those issues at some point
in
the future!
Keep repeating this process until you no longer feel any
anxiety from each issue you've listed.
You will gain positive results for some issues much faster
than you will for other issues.
So, be patient, and your results will come for you.
Tap8
is a process, NOT an event!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE...
It is very common for
other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while
you are tapping.
While you're doing the tapping exercises,
you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized
thoughts
and emotions that may have been
buried deep within your subconscious mind for
years...
possibly even since your early childhood.
If, at anytime, while you're tapping through any of the
exercises in this Tap8
Power-Tapping course,
you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions
popping up, even if they do not directly
apply to the
particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then
you should write
them down,
and
take some extra time to tap for all of those negative
issues, as soon as possible! It's THOSE
negative thoughts
and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in
your life!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've included these two helpful
illustrations for you...just in case you forget where
the eight
Tap8
Power-Tapping
points are
located...
 
Remember...
There simply
is
NO WAY
to do the
Tap8
Power-Tapping
wrong!
This methodology is so forgiving that you literally cannot get it
wrong.
As long as
you are tapping while you're concentrating on an issue,
it's working for you...
by whittling away more and more of your stress & anxiety each day!
So just keep
tapping – everyday!
