Hello beautiful and courageous ladies,
I had an experience a couple of days ago where I was in a serious state of overwhelm. I just felt like
my entire life was falling apart and the reason I'm doing a video on this today is because, not just the
women that I work with, but also because of the groups that I follow that work with women who are
suffering with past abuse and trauma and are in such a state of overwhelm and they don't know
what to do, which, as I mentioned I can totally relate. For two days I was crying and I was in a ball on
the sofa and I eventually thought to myself 'something has gotta give' because I desperately wanted
to move on and move past it but I couldn't because I just felt that I was stuck.
It then dawned on me, surprisingly, "Marie, you are an EFT practitioner - you know how to shift
this!" I was just so much in my own funk that it didn't comprehend it - which was stupid!
So what I did was spend about 30-45 minutes just tapping on myself. I tapped on everything that
came up for me and what was surprising were things like feeling alone. I had only moved back to
Australia 3 months ago and a lot of the trauma and things that I suffered with growing up were here
in Australia so to come back home after all this time has caused some internal doubts and fears to
resurface and they were things I didn't think I had to deal with when I was in the UK as it's easy to
sometimes walk away from our 'stuff' thinking that it's never going to come up again...
It's been a bit of an awakening for me.
So if you're in a state of overwhelm and you just don't know what to do - being in that state isn't
going to help you, it's actually going to cause you to dive even further into your spiral of despair and
that isn't what we want so here is where EFT can help you.
30-45 minutes is all it took and that was just on myself. It probably would have been even quicker if
I'd gone to see someone.
In order to move forward and get past this emotional 'stuckness' EFT can help you really, really
quickly. I can describe it as a metaphoric pulling up of your socks and saying (excuse the French)
"Fuck it, I've got to move forward because sitting here right now is not helping me".
So here is what I want you to do: Firstly hone in on what it is you're feeling. As per previous videos keep it simple, don't complicate it. If you're in a state of overwhelm then just say that. If you're lost,
if you feel alone, if you just don't know what to do then say that and keep it simple for yourself.
Rate how it is you're feeling. 0-10 (0 being it's not bothering me and 10 being off the chart, yes I'm
in overwhelm and I just don't know what to do).
Go to your Karate chop point on the side of the hand and we're going to say:
"Even though I feel overwhelmed, I may not know why but I feel overwhelmed, there is just too
much going on, I feel lost and alone but I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway"
(Substitute your words for mine if they are not resonating with you - just choose your own words)
And again
"Even though I feel overwhelmed, I so lost, I'm hurt, I don't know what to do, I don't even know
where to start, I deeply and completely love and accept myself"
One more time
"Even though I feel overwhelmed, lost and confused. I don't know where my life is going right now, I
need some guidance, I need someone to help me but I don't even know who to ask - that is how lost
I am, I'm in the pit of despair, but I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway"
Now we go up to our eyebrow point and we start tapping on that:
"This feeling of overwhelm"
Side of your eye
"This feeling of overwhelm"
Under the eye
"This feeling of overwhelm"
Under the nose
"This feeling of being all alone, I'm overwhelmed and I don't know where to start"
Crease of your chin
"This feeling of overwhelm"
Chest point
"This feeling of overwhelm, I really wish it would go away. I don't know what to do but that is ok"
Along the Bra line
"This feeling of overwhelm"
Final point - Top of your head
"This feeling of overwhelm, I don't know what to do, I'm really, really lost"
Now take a deep breath and have a sip of water. (This is where pen and paper come in handy
because you can keep a track of things that are coming up for you).
When you make notes, incorporate those into your next round of tapping.
This really does help. It might shift things really, really quickly but at the same time please be
patient with yourself. Allow yourself 30 minutes to an hour, curl up in a corner and just keep going
on this. You might be surprised at what comes up. It might start as overwhelm but, as I said
previously, my session turned into feeling alone which was linked to being back here in Australia and
it just brought up some stuff that I had to deal with.
I really hope this is helpful for you ladies. I know it can work so please don't give up on this. It works
on an energetic level and I cannot talk enough about how miraculous this is - you'll feel yourself go
'bang', it's like your aura grows and it's amazing what you can let go. You can empty your emotional
bin, which you'll hear me say a lot.
Take care of yourself ladies and I'll talk to you all soon!
