Caught in the Act!

May 27th, 2010

Here’s an Attraction in Action!

I took two tall step ladders, like painter’s ladders, and a small, two step – step stool to our rental house with me to attempt to put up a wallpaper border in the 12×15′ living room, around the ceiling, by myself.  Mike and I have put up multiple borders together over the years and it’s always this gigantic pain it the ass.  Not so much for him because he’s the one “in charge” and yelling at ME that I’m going too fast/slow/crooked/tight/kinked.. hey, where ya goin? LOL But that only happened once.

Anyway, I’m trying to get this border up and the rest of the surface stuff cleaned up so it can be rented.  I listed it in the newspaper this morning  so that really lit a fire under my tail to get it together.

I set up my two tall ladders on each end of one wall with the short stood in between, hoping to walk from one to another and keep this border in the air in the process.  The first try, this did not happen.  I made a mess of gooey glue down the wall and dropped the whole thing on my way through. _grumbles_

The second try didn’t get me any further down the wall, although I DID manage to hold on to it this time before it peeled back off the wall behind me.

Now maybe it’s because I’m a super huge dork, but in my mind I was forming a twitter/facebook update to the tune of, “Putting up a wallpaper border in a 12×15 room is NOT an easy thing to do alone!”  As soon as I thought it, I heard it, and I thought… well, that’s not a very good mindset with which to approach this!  Then I thought… People have DONE this before.. all by themselves… I guarantee it!  I can totally do this!  Then, in my mind I changed my twitter/facebook update to, “Turns out putting up a wallpaper border in a 12×15 room alone isn’t even HALF as hard as I thought it would be!!”

Then, I adjusted my ladders just a little closer together and found a tool I could use, and with my new “piece of cake” mindset, I put up the whole darn border.  And the whole time, I kept thinking… JEEZ this really ISN’T even half as hard as I was trying to make it!!

So, as I stood back and looked at my handy work, I was really glad I was able to shift my thoughts and energy and breeze through something that I could have made really hard for myself!  It gets easier and easier to catch myself in the act.

EFT Saves the Day

May 27th, 2010

Greetings on this fine Thursday morning!!

I did NOT start out this morning well and I’d like to share with you how I pulled myself out of the place I was in and slapped a smile back on my face.

Firstly I need to tell you that I’ve been very interested in energy healing for quite some time now.  I have a couple of very awesome books on the body’s energy systems and I’ve been intending for over a year now to read into them more and become sort of a professional, amature energy healer.  Or in other words, practice on and heal my family and friends and anyone else in my community who would seek me, while not attending official classes or schooling.

Personally, I believe I am capable of learning anything.  I don’t need to pay the money to sit in the classroom to be preached at by a teacher.  I thrive when I learn as I do… and so that’s what I’ve been doing this week.

I started doing EFT every morning on Monday (5-24-2010) I think.  I should’ve wrote it down just so I have a record, and I’ll likely start today given my results thus far.  I came across this video on youtube by Brad Yates called Tap O’ the Morning.  It’s an EFT tapping sequence for starting your day right and being happy.

I’ve done EFT before with some noticeable results.  I relieved a massive headache with it once which surprised the heck out of me.  I also was able to get some relief from a kidney infection I was suffering from by tapping once.  It’s surprising, even to me, that I haven’t made this a more regular part of my life given that I find it actually works.  The beginning of this week was when I figured, there’s no time like the present, and so I started.

So, back to this morning.

Mike got called out at 5:30 this morning.  After he left, I was wide awake so I turned on the tv and thought I’d catch the weather report before I ventured forth.  Instead of weather, I caught the end of a news report, WITH pictures AND video of what they’re calling “The worst animal cruelty case to ever come out of Ohio.”

Being the incredibly sensitive person that I am, this means that at 5:30 this morning, I started my day horror struck, nauseated, and with tears of terror streaming down my face.  I sat there wondering how someone could be so savage and cruel to any living creature and why I had to turn on the tv and how on earth I was going to go about my day with these images now lodged in my mind.

That was when the idea struck me.  EFT.  I know the sequence.  Karate chop point with a 3x repeated affirmation, then the inner eyebrow, outer eyebrow, under eye, under nose, chin under bottom lip, collar bones (K-27), under arm/bra strap area, crown of head.  And so I did it, sitting there bawling, in such turmoil that I could actually feel physical pain in my chest for these animals, I did 5 or 6 rounds of EFT for the savagery that I had just seen.

When I’d finished the last round, I sat there rather shocked at the calm that I felt.  The tears had not only stopped but that gut wrenching, awful feeling was gone.  I was still deeply saddened by what I’d seen and heard, but EFT really IS the “Emotional Freedom Technique” because I felt as though the negative emotion had been just sucked right out of me.

So I’m off to have a wonderful Full Moon Thursday.  I feel so much lighter.  I may do another round or two after everyone leaves and the house is emptied for the day.  I’m really just totally astounded.  I’m so thankful that I was able to release those feelings.  I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason, always…. sort of makes me wonder if this morning was the reason for my sudden interest in EFT this week because Goddess knows I’d have had one hell of a day if I’d have held onto all that garbage and it was any other week.

My affirmation for today~ I choose to release unwanted emotions and embrace the love.
