I was watching a show about snowboarder and two time Olympic Gold medal winner, Shaun White. As I watched him wrestle with his jumps and the inner conflict going on inside of him, I could feel his frustration. As a Tapping practitioner, I readily recognize energetic blocks caused by stuck beliefs. It is incredibly frustrating because part of you knows you can do” it”, and yet, there is something preventing you from achieving your desire. THAT, my friends, is the subconscious mind at work!!! I like Shaun and am amazing by his talent and the “air” he gets in his jumps. It is an awesome sight that thrills me when I see him compete! I wish I had been able to work with him during his training because I heard him say, “It’s hard to show up to the mountain and have somebody go, “You ready to do this trick because the first time you tried it, it put you in the hospital.’”
Our subconscious mind runs 95% of what we do, even when we don’t know it. It keeps track of EVERYTHING we have ever experienced in our life! It also kicks into action to PROTECT US when something seems dangerous on some level.
Shaun had some big injuries while training for his return to the 2014 Olympics, and his subconscious mind took note AND REMEMBERED…when you do THIS jump, you get massive pain and injury. If you burned your hand on a flame as a child, you learned NOT to put your hand on the flame again, right? Shaun’s subconscious programming remembered the falls that caused incredible pain and injury. Unconsciously, his mind went into action to find ways to sabotage and KEEP HIM FROM THAT SAME PAIN. This is NOT logical. It’s subconscious and energetic. The subconscious OVERRULED the conscious desire. Watch and listen here. (especially starting at :52) He talks about a weird block. What is his hidden belief? If I do this jump, I will end up in pain and in the hospital again! DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s not too old, or incapable of doing the trick. The energy surrounding his belief is incredibly strong to protect him and to overrule his conscious desire.
I have to say that I felt sad because I have introduced Tapping to an Olympic Training Center. See my video from the Training Center here. I worked with an athlete whose progress with me was monitored. My work using Tapping was described as getting “unprecedented” results. Could I have worked with Shaun? Yes, I can do phone sessions so location is NOT a limiting factor. Would Tapping have worked for Shaun in this year’s Olympics? We will never know the outcome for sure. My guess would be that it certainly could’ve made a difference in his fear and anxiety level, which would’ve brought more confidence to his tricks and possibly a different outcome! As a practitioner, I know that when we can release our fear and the hidden “payoffs”, the entire scenario can and does change.
Do you have something that you want to accomplish but you keep looping around it? I’d bet that your subconscious is working HARD to prevent what appears to be “dangerous”. Can you change it? You bet you can. I’ve seen it happen in MY life, and with so many clients! You can continue to suffer with the frustration. However, when you are ready to find out and release what is REALLY in your way, contact me. Tapping and my guidance coaching can help you figure out and release what is in your way!
