Sometimes I have people ask me, "Is EFT in the Bible?"
Well, of course, it isn't, nor is our automobile (wonder what Jesus would have ridden in on Palm Sunday instead of His donkey???!!), or airplane or refrigerator and washing machine, and we still use those freely.
What is IN the Bible is lots of humans with lots of negative emotions that caused all kinds of societal fallout, as it does today.
We are human, we have emotional turmoil, but it doesn't HAVE to rule us.
Once again, God has provided everything we need, including a path out of emotional pain. The EFT tapping tool sits waiting for us to grab it and use it!

The “symptoms” are our emotional angst and possibly physical issues.
The underlying “cause” (disease) is our trauma, big stuff or lots of little stuff, hurtful memories, and disturbing events in our life.
Those emotional “causes” stick around in our cells where our unconscious mind puts them, completely unknown to us. Our cells can be equated to a house attic, storage unit, old barn loft, etc. We stuff items in any or all of those places, forgetting about them, until sometime possible catastrophic happens and NOW we have to deal with the stored up junk.
Emotionally it’s the same thing. Bad stuff happens, we “get over it” (time doesn’t heal all wounds, sorry, folks!), move on and THEN our body starts yelling and our emotions begin to flare, forcing us NOW to deal with the past - all those things we stuffed in our emotional attic, barn, and storage unit.
Tapping BEFORE we accumulate all that junk keeps the “storage” unit of our unconscious mind clear, clean, and uncluttered!
Tap, tap, tap!

AIMIE APIGIAN
“Whatever the degree of regulation we achieved through relationship in the first 6 months of life is the degree that we will be able to connect with others and want to connect with others.
The degree to which regulation did not happen through regulation in relationship with our mother reflects the degree that our system had to rely on the freeze response for state control.
Attachment is the degree of internal regulation (or dysregulation) that we experience in authentic and intimate relationships to ourselves, others and the world.”
Here again EFT tapping is often quite helpful!

The trauma is so hurtful the mind simply shuts it down!
Trauma also shrinks the hippocampus up to 25-30%, particularly when one has post-traumatic symptoms, so it makes sense that many of us have big memory holes!
The hippocampus comes on-line about age 2-3, if I remember correctly, but our amygdala (alarm center) is present in utero; therefore, we have alarms ringing in our mind before we have processes to figure out what is going on.
It amazes me how much tapping we practitioners do on VERY early memories, some of them we swear happened before we were born, and as a practitioner, we just go with whatever the client brings to the tapping table.
Sadly, science clearly shows us that we carry around so much epigenetic trauma from our ancestors! It's no wonder some of us are so burdened down with emotional stuff!
Anyone have a tapping story to share around any really, really early memories? We'd love to hear them!

AIMIE APIGIAN
“For the first 6-7 months of life, a baby still believes it is physically connected to their mother. This is why by themselves, they become dysregulated. Separation from a biological mother for any length of time in the first 2-3 years of life is traumatic.
The earlier the separation, the earlier the trauma impacts and imprints feeling unsafe and insecure into the developing nervous system.
The social standard of moms to receive 6 weeks of maternity leave is a very common reason for unknown attachment trauma.
This will result in the features of the earliest shock to an infant’s system, the Connection- Attachment NARM style, which happens with an infant experiencing inadequate regulation during its first 0-6 months and having to adapt with the dorsal vagal freeze response. (1)

But once the initial cause of the symptoms passes, there is a new spark that fuels them. And for many people, the spark is a rising level of what I am going to label as ‘discomfort’ - a discomfort that creates a NEW NETWORK {my emphasis} in the brain and body that continually feeds the symptoms.
Amazingly, this level of discomfort flies below their mental radar until a symptom crescendos and takes root.” Page 7. “Your Survival Instinct is Killing You” by Marc Schoen, Ph. D.
Note: we create an emotional trigger that turns physical and the brain creates an entire new “story” around that issue or symptom, just like a group of old men embellishing fish stories around the dinner table!
Once that “tale” is in place, the nerve pathways in the brain dig it in deeper and permanently.
Good luck changing that because most likely you consciously don’t even notice……and now you’re stuck!
Enter EFT. God’s brain changing technique.
What issue/thing/event in your life bugs you? A lot?
What happened 6-12 months prior to this ”new” thing popping up in life?
That prior event that just came to mind would be the “thing” I’d start tapping on and chatting with Holy Spirit about! There’s your beginning point!

This stimulation also reduces stress hormone cortisol and its precursor hormone ACTH (adrenocorticotropic), increases vagal nerve actions(parasympathetic or relaxation), helps neuroplasticity in body’s sensory organs, and restores internal organ functioning?
All this helps us to experience contentment, comfort, joy, peace, and happiness!
What a God we have! He created all of this for you to access and we access it by using EFT tapping!

Today dangerous fatal situations rarely exist yet we often react to emotional events just as if these were threatening our mortality!
“Indeed, the majority of discomfort (dangerous situations)is typically self- manufactured.
As Mark Twain once wrote, ‘My life has been filled with terrible misfortunes-most of which never happened.’ We are our own worst enemy.
So with a lack of an external battle or enemy, an internal battle has emerged. What’s more, our discomfort today typically revolves around trivial issues that are construed by our mind and body as being ruinous. The war that then takes place within us isn’t just confined to our minds - it also materializes at the cellular level. Nowhere else is this so obvious as in autoimmune illnesses, which are characterized by the absence of an external threat yet the body begins to wage a war within itself, one that takes a serious and sometimes deadly toll.”
“Your Survival Instinct is Killing You” pg. 40. Marc Schoen
Am I saying we do any of this on purpose? Absolutely not!
Our unconscious mind reacts for us as a protective mechanism. God created it this way to keep us alive, but trauma spins it out of control, leaving us with angst, pain, emotional unsteadiness and disease.
All the trauma remnants go into a body part(s). We find out 20-30-40 years later what body part(s) absorbed it.
Time to let it go before we discover where that discomfort and pain all went!
EFT tapping awaits you!

Verse 3 goes as this,
“And after it rains there's a rainbow and all of the colors are black.
It's not that the colors aren't there, it's just imagination they lack.
Everything's the same back in my little town, my little town, my little town.”
For many of us our childhood trauma has locked us in just like the rainbow that lacks imagination. We were so busy protecting ourselves and our hearts from further pain, all the color of life was lacking, and we stayed small within our “little town” of our mind.
We created limiting beliefs, lies, about everything around us - who we were, what we were, where we belonged, who did/didn’t love us, including God, what our abilities were, were we even safe at all, etc.
For me, when I dream or just have my eyes closed I see no color, just black, white, and maybe gray.
Through the decade plus of tapping, as I just about fall asleep and am in that alpha-theta brain wave state, I get glimpses of vivid pictures complete with its full compliment of appropriate colors!
It’s beautiful! Once I realize consciously what I’m seeing, it all disappears!
I know that as healing continues more will come. I guess my subconscious mind still, even today, doesn’t feel safe enough to go full techni-color, like the old movies called it.
So how much of our trauma gets tied up into those sensory pieces?
Neurologically it’s an interesting question!

That’s still “tapping” if you are using the edge of a finger or the thumb. It counts as part of your daily tapping regime even if you aren’t tapping on anything specific!
Why? Because JUST tapping is keeping your body calm and it’s helping with emotional regulation!
Turn up that music and tap away!

“How energy psychology works with internal issues:
a. Bringing to mind a memory, thought, or cue related to relationship difficulties . . .
b. Activates the amygdala and initiates a stress response (cortisol, adrenaline, and other stress hormones flood the system and the hippocampus goes offline).
c. BUT stimulating selected acupuncture points initiates an opposing process:
d. The alarm response is turned off, even though the memory or trigger is still present.
e. With a few repetitions, the memory or trigger no longer evokes the alarm response.
f. The hippocampus can process the current experience in concert with the prefrontal cortex.
g. This becomes the “new normal” – the internal model has been changed.
4. Acupoint tapping changes the brain in any of five ways:
a. Reducing the amygdala’s threat response.
b. Extinguishing conditioned responses.
c. Supporting hippocampus and prefrontal cortex activity.
d. Increasing the neural impact of positive self-imagery.
e. Increasing the neural impact of well-conceived suggestions."
David Feinstein, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist who has served on the faculties of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Antioch College, and the California School of Professional Psychology. Author of more than 80 professional articles and eight books, he has been a pioneer in the areas of Energy Psychology and Energy Medicine. His books have won nine national awards, including the U.S. Book News Best Psychology/Mental Health Book in 2007 (for Personal Mythology) and an Indies Best Books Award (for The Promise of Energy Psychology).

Friend or Foe? <strike></strike>Did you know that when we experience pleasure of one kind or
another, our brain chemicals impact our limbic system including the
hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, & nucleus accumbens, in particular, and
ventral striatum, which are connected to the neurotransmitter dopamine and the
brain’s natural opiate, endorphin. Once the body associates a pleasure with
those chemicals, it wants more! And more. And more. Let’s use chocolate as an
example. Often the mere thought or seeing chocolate produces a release of
dopamine in the brain. Then when we taste it, opiates (endorphins) are released
further binding our behavior to chocolate eating! Once we eat the chocolate our
dopamine level begins to drop. The ANTICIPATION of the pleasure drives the
dopamine more so than the actual consumption! Now we have entered dopamine lack
which often leaves us feeling deprived and we reach for more chocolate to drive
the dopamine back up. It’s cyclic and chocolate is simply an example, as
anything pleasurable can send our dopamine levels into overdrive, including
other foods, alcohol, sex, shop lifting, work, exercise, dare devil activities,
drugs, etc. A similar experience happens with cortisol and sugar. This can be
the beginning of an addiction or a craving around a substance or activity that
drives anxiousness. Anxiousness is very uncomfortable, but tapping can help.
How? By often finding the source event or memories driving the pleasure and
tapping on those. Many ask why would I want to rid myself of pleasure! You
wouldn’t but perhaps letting go of the excess behaviors might feel like a good
idea. And it is, as it often then leaves us more satisfied with less of
something (like calories, alcohol, etc.). Questions? Thoughts? Comments? Sherrie

How we do life is all based on what we learned as youngsters. If our family understood emotions, listened to each other express them, and reacted in an appropriate way, we often live our adult lives in a more comfortable emotional way.
When a child has seen much emotional abuse, learning to express oneself as an adult is often more difficult. It is a learned behavior.
There are times when we wish or think we are ready to heal, but doing so just plain doesn't come easily.
Why?
The youngster inside us doesn't feel it is safe to confront or access earlier feelings now because it wasn't safe to do so back in childhood. Our feelings today directly reflect how we felt decades ago.
Tapping is all about feeling safe.
Sometimes during talk therapy, and I know this from personal experience, discussing how we feel now about something decades ago often brings a torrent of tears, anger, and sadness. It just plain feels safer NOT to discuss any of this. Leaving it buried deep within our psyche seems to be a more prudent course of action, however, doing that usually doesn't bring healing.
When a client doesn't seem ready to change, we call this "resistance" in the EFT trade. Sometimes it sounds like we are blaming the client for not wanting to get emotionally better.
In reality most of the time it has to do with safety and feeling ok to discuss, tap on, and let go of our old emotional baggage that just isn't allowing us to move forward as our Lord would have us do.
It isn't satan holding us back, it is our own stored stuff. And it may not be our fault we aren't ready to heal now. It is our responsibility to try to work on it though, as emotional healing usually brings us closer to our Lord.
EFT is one of the best techniques and the closest thing to a safety net that is known today. When we access a memory that makes us uncomfortable, tapping most often will settle down the feelings that come up around it. A few tapping rounds usually does the trick.
Don't beat yourself up if there are memories you aren't quite ready to tackle alone with tapping yet. You can also email me to obtain a referral to a Christian EFT Practitioner who can walk beside you as you do tap on these memories.
Andy Hunt's article is all about feeling safe during tapping in order for us to access and let the emotional content of old memories go back to the Cross where they belong.
God bless your healing!
Remember, EFT is NOT a substitute for sound emotional or medical care. Call your own personal physician when you need that kind of help.

class="yiv1343990794userEdit" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div>
<a href="https://www.liveoakacupuncture.com/im-a-christian-is-acupuncture-against-my-religion-part-three/?fbclid=IwAR0BSi9CWlhEU_7P5l00HDjRy1TPy-eXX0DoABnq6hFgiqYg136Nd6TINmQ" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" target="_blank">This article</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> succinctly says what I have tried to explain in the 5 </span><i style="color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">EFT for Christians</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"> books I have written.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
1). Chinese medicine and Chinese religion are 2 different things, just as Western Medicine and any western religious beliefs are completely different. Usually, when we show up in an ER, we don't ask the trauma physician if he or she is a Christian, we are just grateful f<span class="yiv1343990794text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">or their help!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span class="yiv1343990794text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv1343990794text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
2). As a Practitioner in EFT when working with a client who has physical issues, our first question is, "have you seen a doctor?" There is definitely a place for both Eastern and Western medicine. If I have a gangrene gallbladder, probably caused by my reaction to abuse, where I carry around rage, anger, hatred, I'm not necessarily going to try to "cure" it with tapping. I want a competent surgeon to remove it before it bursts and I become septic. Then I will want to deal with the negative emotions that got me in the fix to begin with so something else physical doesn't go haywire!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
3). Being a history buff, I agree with this author that not all early Western medicine researchers, such as William Harvey, Lister, Salk, etc. were Christians. They might have been. Who cares? Does that mean I reject all their findings? Of course, I don't. Their religious beliefs as they researched how God put together the human body has absolutely no bearing on what they personally believed about the Creator Himself!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
4). Research surely now seems to show that there is a direct relationship between our emotions and our physical health. God is in the healing business. Jesus performed many miracles, as did His apostles. Miracles still happen today. Healing is God's purview, not satan's. satan never healed anyone! So, like the instructions to Apostle Peter in Acts, eat sacrificed meat, it doesn't matter what the original intent or belief system was, God blesses it and sanctions for our good because He created it for our wellbeing.</div>

<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is an interesting <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/personal-epigenetics-a-new-era-in-health-and-medicine_b_57accc0ae4b03d06fe845285?fbclid=IwAR3R8n1QqA4aapNcLIHthftoVFHAQdq_uEz_mP41FpN_BivfHGsngPZoTmg" target="_blank"><b>article</b></a> that explains the new field of epigenetics.</span></div>
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What often is running both our emotional and physical health is our own personal past. There truly is still more affecting us than we ever envisioned decades ago!</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As mind and brain research continues to unfold, scientists are only just beginning to understand that experiences and memories of our forefathers and foremothers are also running our personal biology.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not talking about "past lives" or "reincarnation", so please don't confuse epigenetics with that topic!</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">God wrapped up so very much in the human body when He created us. Part of that experiential learning is bound up in the new science field of epigenetics. In order to survive life, all species, including humans, have to learn and <b>REMEMBER</b> what they experienced so as not to repeat that possibly dangerous behavior.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Often these behaviors were repeated so often and are so hardwired into our subconscious memory! God created this as a good thing! However, with sin entering the world, it can often go awry.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When we remember not only the incident but all the accompanying emotional pain and fallout from something horrific, this piece of the learning also gets stuffed into our body's cells.The cells remember the pain which can then get triggered when we sense a danger that is closely akin to what happened in the past.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, we not only remember the incident as a safety valve to protect us, we remember the emotional pain to reinforce that learning.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Often this is subconscious! We don't know we have inherited great, great grandma's issues, but we have and we can.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We have lots to tap about! Tapping can make a huge dent in this ancestor stuff. And when we clear it using EFT and/or Matrix Reimprinting (or other somatic techniques), often our physical issues also heal once the body's cells release the pain they have been holding.</span></div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</div>
<div class="yiv9966902684" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">God is amazing! He thought of it all! We truly are blessed! </span></div>
<div class="yiv9966902684_1mf yiv9966902684_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">

<br />EFT For Christianshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07426175415767388692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8445909929247188266.post-81071501315628462042021-12-05T06:15:00.000-08:002021-12-05T06:15:00.176-08:00Tapping Example from a Client Story! God is so Good!<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
With permission I recount this client (Jennie) story:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
EFT Tapping is such a versatile tool. Here is a practical use of it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Jennie was having anxiety and some fear around this her upcoming colonoscopy appointment.</div>
<div class="yiv6712004336text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
And so we tapped on all the different aspects (details) that were bothering her including:</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
1). Fear of what the doctor might find</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
2). Anxiety about the procedure itself, including the sedation</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
3). Anxiety about the awful prep including the diet, as the allowable pre-test foods are things Jennie doesn't usually eat!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
4). Fear of catching COVID at the clinic</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
5). Inconvenience of needing to go to clinic 2 days early to get a COVID test</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
6). Anxiety about previous prep reactions - feeling horribly cold, shaking, and generally feeling miserable</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
7). Anxiety about trying to remember to take some car seat protective covering in case of an accident.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
8). Fear about getting an IV pre-op, reactions to the anesthetic, and whatever else we tapped about!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<u>PRAISE REPORT</u></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Wonderfully, the following morning I receive a phone call! Jennie is now actually excited to get this colonoscopy done and over. Yes, read that! Excited!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Her reframe (changing of our mind) is she is going to ENJOY the 5 day prep! After looking at the dietary list, she realized she would buy and eat foods she loves but rarely eats because they don't fit into her lifestyle right now. She planned to TREAT herself to something special!</div>

Jennie wrote out her menus and created her grocery list. She also wrote out a time line of what had to be done when in order to eliminate re-reading the pages and pages of instructions. Nothing would be missed or mixed up now!</div>

==========================================</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This is EXACTLY what EFT tapping often does for us!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
As we tap God "reframes" and changes our mind about thing to come and things that have happened in the past, so that we can settle down and enjoy His presence right here right now in a state of grace without worry or preoccupation.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Tapping does so much more than just this, but if we just used it for issues of today, what a wonderful gift from our Lord!</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
What have you recently tapped about that God gave you an exciting gift as He switched up your emotions? Leave me a message, so I can rejoice with you!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Quick rules for child tapping: </span></div>
<div class="yiv5929356407_1mf yiv5929356407_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="yiv5929356407_1mf yiv5929356407_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let them lead the process. There is no need for a formal Set-up. Allow children to tell their story in whatever manner they want to tell it - start in the middle, start at the end, mix it up, it doesn't matter, because they are feeling whatever is bothering them, as they talk, so they usually clear the issues anyway. WE don't need to know <b>HOW</b> they feel about the problem, telling what happened to them is often enough to let it all go. Watch them carefully, as one or two rounds at most often solves the problem. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv5929356407" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv5929356407_1mf yiv5929356407_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Don't make them do more rounds and burn them out like I did to kids who I tapped with back at the beginning of my EFT career (true confession!)!!!!</span></div>
</div>
<div class="yiv5929356407" style="background-color: #f2f3f5; color: #1c1e21; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="yiv5929356407_1mf yiv5929356407_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I advocate that parents teach their children to tap anytime they talk about an upsetting incident in their lives. This works wonderfully before bed because it then allows the child's subconscious mind to process the incident while they sleep. Incorporating this story telling with their bedtime prayer time is an amazingly effective way to teach children emotional regulation and self-control with God's help.</span></div>
</div>

<div class="yiv5929356407_1mf yiv5929356407_1mj" style="direction: ltr; font-family: inherit; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Parents can begin tapping on themselves when a child starts whining, crying, or yelling about something wrong in his/her life. The child's mirror neurons will begin to settle the child down fairly quickly. Not only does the child settle but so does the parent before s(he) says or does something regretful! </span></div>

Anyone looking for tapping with children tips,can watch my first 4<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-kY1TmOEdM&t=7s" target="_blank"> EFT for Christians You Tubes</a> (children tapping videos are Videos 1 through 4) as they were on this exact subject! In them I teach everything I know about tapping with children</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is truly amazing how quickly kids clear, often with LESS than one round! Why? Because they aren't carrying the emotional baggage we adults have hauled around for decades.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As stated in Proverbs 22:6 give a child 2 things in life and watch them grow into wonderful Christian adults. What 2 things, in addition to your love and attention? Teach them about Jesus and teach them to use EFT tapping.</div>
