Do You Feel Safe?

Do you feel safe?  If your deepest needs of safety and security aren’t met or haven’t been met, then that’s a good place to start to strengthen your energy.

Safety is one of our basic needs.  When I work with clients, I see many of them just want to skip to the biggest and loudest symptom, but how is the foundation?  You can’t build a fantastic house on a weak foundation.  Well, I suppose you could but would it be strong, healthy or safe?  Would you feel confident and secure if the walls started to shake?  Do you reinforce the walls or work on the foundation that is weak?

It’s the same with us and our energy.  If you try to skip to the symptoms of lack of money or love but you don’t have a strong safe foundation underneath, wouldn’t it make sense to start there first?

How do you do it?  You start by asking yourself, do I feel safe?  Do my needs get met? Let the answers bubble up and honor them.  Pay attention to them.  Let them talk to you.  What part of you doesn’t feel safe and why?  Those thoughts, those feelings can now become your starting places to tap to release the old and reinforce what’s needed.

I want to speak to why we focus on negative feelings and emotions while tapping, when so many of us have been taught to focus on the positive.  It is the locked in, stuck, and crying out energy that has you in a bunch and unable to easily go forward to your dreams.  If you are vibrating with the energy of hurt, you will not be able to combat that for long or sustain positivity with pleasantries.  That’s the reason it keeps crying out.

Our hurt feelings, (sadness, fear, anger, grief, heartache, anxiety), are trying to get your attention…to be heard…to be honored.  When you tune into them with tapping, it’s amazing how the energy, the fight against, and the tension will leave your thoughts, and your body so you can relax.  Once you reduce your energy tension, and are in a relaxed and easy energy, THEN you can tap in the good, the positive and the happy desires.  The positive will take hold when your energy is receptive without that undercurrent of fight or flight.

Try this out.  Pick an area in your life that is causing you worry or discomfort.  For example, let’s pick income.  Ask yourself, do I feel safe and comfortable with my current income?  Scale that reaction from 1-10 with 10 being the most uncomfortable.  Pay attention to how your body reacts.  If the discomfort is higher than 2 or 3, you’ve got some energy working against that desire.  People wonder why they don’t get results saying affirmations.  Now you have an answer.

If you are new to tapping or you haven’t gotten results, there might be some undercurrent of energy in your foundation that needs to be released along with some new reinforcements added in.  It doesn’t have to take a long time to change when you know how to do that.  A beginner is not going to know how to get to those source problems, but a skilled and experienced coach can help facilitate that process.

What are you struggling with in your life?  Have you been using tapping to change it?  Is it changing?  If not, I would suggest to you that you might have to go deeper to the core of the problem.  The mechanics of tapping are so easy that sometimes the skill expertise is overlooked or underestimated.  Tapping skill comes with time, training and experience.  Please don’t think that tapping doesn’t work.  You have to know how to use it.

What has you in a bunch with struggle?  You would be surprised how many others are struggling with the same undercurrent in their energy!

How long will you suffer with cracks in your foundation?  The choice is yours but help is available.
