The Key to Unlocking My Inner Peace, by Kylie
Kylie learned to tap at school over two years ago and has been tapping her worries away ever since, so I invited her to write about how EFT has helped her in her life.
The Key to Unlocking My Inner Peace
by Kylie, age 11
Grade Three was the most marvelous year that I’ve had in elementary school. My teacher taught our class with enthusiasm and fun. Out of the many things she shared with us, tapping had to be the one that worked the most magic.
I remember the very first time that I tried tapping outside my classroom. It was during a violin concert. I was feeling anxious and worried because the judges at the festival were harshly critiquing every child’s performance. My hands were clammy and beginning to freeze up, so I began to tap. While I tapped I reminded myself that whatever the judges thought, all I could do was to play to the best of my ability…and whatever happened during my performance, I was still an awesome kid! After tapping, I walked up to the stage and with total calmness I let my music take me away. The judges must have been impressed because later that night I received a call informing me that I had made it into the Highlights Concert. Without tapping, I don’t believe that I ever would have made it.
I continue to use tapping to help me in many stressful situations. Music to me is like the icing to chocolate cake. Even though I love to perform I get nervous at times. My hands freeze up and I’m not able to play the melody that comes from my heart. Though I sometimes feel frozen with worry, this sensation soon washes away whenever I tap. By tapping on pressure points all my worry, envy and sorrow is washed away and my heart is filled to the brim with confidence and joy. Tapping gives me the strength to follow my dreams and become a better person. Tapping is the way I get through the bumps and snares life brings. No one is perfect, and no one will ever not have a time when they come upon sorrow or fear in life, but I know that with tapping there is always a solution to help me move on and lift me through the rough patches.
From being “scared to death of math” to an A in Algebra
I am a 36 year old mother of two who has decided to go back to school. One of the first classes I signed up to take was college algebra. I was terrified!! I hadn’t done math in almost 20 years and even back then, math was my worst subject. I really thought I just couldn’t do it … that my brain just didn’t work that way. Every day that I had to go to class, my heart would pound, my hands would shake … I was literally scared to death, even though I knew it was silly – that it was only a math class. I knew that I was going to fail horribly and embarrass myself in front of a room full of 18 year olds!
Then it occurred to me to try tapping! Tapping had worked on so many other things for me, both big and small, so I thought why not? It can’t hurt! I sat in the parking lot before class and I would tap:
Even though I feel stupid and can’t do math…
Even though my brain totally shuts down the minute I see the numbers on the page, I choose to know I have everything I need to succeed.
Even though I have never been able to do math and never will…
Even though I’m a girl and everyone knows girls can’t do math, I choose to know that I am fully capable.
It was really eye-opening! As always with tapping, I realized that my blocks had very little to do with math and almost everything to do with my own limiting beliefs.
GC COMMENT: For an even deeper resolution, I would suggest going back to specific events during her earlier school years where she had feelings of failure, humiliation, etc. Doing so, may collapse more limiting beliefs and other issues besides the math response.
Needless to say, I got a 90% on the final – only two people in the whole class got an A on the final and I was one of them! I ended up with an overall A in ALGEBRA and now I’ve moved on to Statistics and am doing great!! It is truly a miracle … what did I ever do before tapping??
Thanks again,
