Shape of Our Heart Changes with Emotion - Try Tapping

This is a pretty interesting TED talk from a cardiologist who explains how the shape of our heart is changed by our emotions.

Another amazing reason WHY we probably need to tap, or learn how to use EFT, for emotional healing.

It surely appears God created our very organs to respond to our environment and to how we feel about our past experiences.

Enjoy!

How Has Your Movie and TV Viewing Changed with Tapping?

Have you found that your TV and movie tastes have changed? How about your desire to watch/read news items?

Our movie tastes have changed in our house over the past decade, and I know it is all due to the tapping both Brad & I have done!

Brad was a real "hack & slash" movie junkie. He would say routinely, "If nothing blows up & no one gets killed, it's not worth watching. That's why Hallmark movies aren't any good."

I'd end up watching those movies simply by default. Now, he rarely brings these home anymore from Redbox. And I understand why. And, if he does bring one home now, I tap through the movie.

Our tolerance for violence is much lower. I don't watch the evening news, or read the newspapers. I pick up quick glimpses of what is going on internationally, but I have no tolerance at all for these long drawn out international intrigues where the news organizations report every single detail. I feel my anxiety rise, and I turn into the world's crabbiest crab. And then I have to stop and tap.

There is a fine line here between paying attention to our civic duties and acting upon them, as God instructs us to do, and getting all tangled up in the details of it where we find our peace, quiet, and emotions all disturbed.

I refuse to get pulled into Facebook political arguments. Why? Because no one wins! Rarely will we change the other person's mind and we lose our sense of internal peace over a hopeless argument. It's not worth the damage to my body by raising my cortisol and adrenalin levels to overload!

These arguments are STRESS to our body. Stop being pulled down that rabbit hole! Your psyche will thank you, as will your body!

Does everyone here understand that watching a murder on TV is NO different to the subconscious mind (SC) than seeing it in real life????

How would your SC know the difference? It doesn't! There is something called "Vicarious trauma".

"Vicarious trauma" is described as this by the American Counseling Association: "The term vicarious trauma (Perlman & Saakvitne, 1995), sometimes also called compassion fatigue, is the latest term that describes the phenomenon generally associated with the “cost of caring” for others."

Public Safety organization describes vicarious trauma as this: "Vicarious trauma is a form of trauma that occurs when someone reads, hears, or sees something about an event that causes them to have a post-traumatic stress response. For example, if they see distressing pictures or videos of a terrorist attack in the media.

If there is a compelling reason to limit your children's violence viewing this is it!

If violence and murder in real life can create trauma for the body and mind, why can't it do the same when viewing movies and TV shows? The SC mind has absolutely NO way to understand one is real and the other is on a viewing BOX, especially now with these 110 inch screens. So watching whatever is happening on the TV surely does look like real life to our SC!

Proverbs 4:23 tells us, "So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life."

The Hebrew word levav is the most common word for “heart.” It includes our thoughts, our will, our discernment, and our affections. This is probably the most compelling reason to tap - tapping GUARDS our heart! Heart is our connective place to God!

Phipippians 4:6-8 says, " Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

You & I know harsh violence on every TV screen in the world is NOT pure, lovely, right, admirable, noble or true, no matter who is reporting it.

Consider asking God while tapping how He would have you change these habits, and then tap out whatever stands in the way of doing what He requires you to do.

He is faithful to help you! Amen.

EFT for Christians Video #35 Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the root of where we desire to go as Christians.

Jesus commands that we forgive all of our debtors which includes anyone who has harmed us in any way.

Forgiveness towards others must come if we expect to heal. We cannot heal when we carry around deep feelings of resentment, hatred, and anger.

Here is a video based on Devotion #16 in the EFT for Christians 52 Tapping Devotions book published for Christmas, 2017.

Prayer & Tapping

"Tap continually while you pray. I hear people tell me they only use tapping when they feel upset about something. My best advice is to tap the entire time you pray. Don't stop. Keep going.

Make it an open, honest communication with your Lord. I often walk down the street tapping away, praying to God in my head. We just talk. What I find amazing is how often God really opens up for me different lines of thought if I tap while converse with Him. He gives me ideas that I would normally never think, let alone consider.

Much of my writing is composed while tapping and praying. While I tap, I begin talking to Him on a subject, and I will simply ask His opinion or question Him as to why something happens the way it does. Answers come."

52 Tapping Devotions #8 - 1 Corinthians 10:13

Devotion # 8 in EFT for Christians 52 Tapping Devotions I used 1 Corinthians 10:13 as the text.

As a R.N. I don't claim to be a Scripture expert!

But it was gratifying to see the translator of The Passion Translation to write out this verse as I "interpreted" it!

Here is TPT version of 1 Corinthians 1:13, "We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously."

Exactly!!! God has our lives completely under control even if we feel anything but overwhelm! He allows us these emotions and events and memories so we turn to Him for help.

In this day and age, EFT might be that help. EFT actually works, if it is used often and properly. Anecdotal stories abound of its efficacy! 100+ research studies prove that it works.

And our Lord promises He has already created a way out of our life's troubles.

If you are still CONSIDERING tapping, maybe time has arrived for you to commit to actually doing the process.
