Karate Chop: Even though the past is cluttering my present…
…I have all these thoughts about my past… …and all those things that happened… …I choose to accept who I am right now.
Even though my past is cluttering my present… …all those thoughts and feelings…
…about events that happened a long time ago… …I accept who I am right now.
Eyebrow: My past is cluttering my present.
Side of the eye: My vibration is cluttered by my past. Under the eye: It’s cluttered by my past feelings.
Under the nose: Those things aren’t happening right now. Chin: But I feel as if they are.
Collarbone: My past is cluttering my vibration. Under the arm: All those feelings and events… Top of the head: …all those things that happened… Eyebrow: …all those leftover pieces…
Side of the eye: …those unresolved conversations… Under the eye: …those things I never got to say… Under the nose: …those things I never got out. Chin: What if I let go…
Collarbone: …and put them back where they belong, in the past… Under the arm: …and cleared up my current vibration?
Top of the head: I wonder what it would do for my abundance? Carol: (laughing) I couldn’t resist.
Rick: (laughing) I loved that. Carol: Take a breath.
Rick: Ahhhhh… (deep breath)
Carol: And it does. Ultimately, what are we going for? Abundance in your
health, your wealth, your relationships, your spirituality, your peace of mind. Clutter gets in the way. Whether we’re talking about too much anger, too much guilt, too much needing to hold on to unnecessary stuff, past events - it doesn’t matter. Clutter gets in the way. We were talking about a clear signal. You were talking about getting clear guidance for yourself - the YES and NO in your body. What about being able to put out a clear signal to the (quote) ‘universe’ or whatever you use for that word? Are you giving a clear signal, or are you saying, “I want all this abundance! No, I don’t, because I don’t deserve it because my father said…and my coach said…” What’s the clutter? What’s the static that’s in the way of a clear signal to the universe - to the Law of Attraction?
Rick: What puts you in that alignment with allowing it to happen and show
up in your life and being receptive to it?
Carol: Right.
Rick: As I was doing that tapping, I noticed that one particular period of my
life seemed to pop up. To me, that would be a sign that my intelligence is saying, “Huh. There’s a few things there.” They feel like threes or fours. Nothing very specific came up, but I’m pretty confident that I sat down with a piece of paper and just jotted down some things from that time in my life, that those would give me the specific events. As you’re listening and you’re tapping along with us, you may want to pause at times when you’ve done a tapping round, especially around the past or the future - around specific events that may be coming up. Jot them down, and write down the
intensity, so that you can come back to them later. You can stop right then and do some specific EFT on those events right in the moment.
Carol: Specific events hold the charge in our bodies. That’s why general
EFT can just get you so far. The specific event - the time the coach said, “You didn’t do very well. I’m putting you on the bench.” - that’s a big deal. When you go there, that specific event comes up. So just as you’re saying, Rick, you ended up thinking about a certain part of your life during that tapping. Go back and write it down. I always say, “Who, what, when?” Who said what, and when did they say it to you? Get clear about what it is that’s bothering you. I call it ‘the pebbles in my shoe’. Heaven forbid I have a pebble in my shoe. I’m not peaceful when I have that, so I need to call people and clear something up. I need to make sure, in my relationships and in my work, that I’m totally lined up and I don’t have something
hanging out. I don’t have a ‘pebble in my shoe’ about what the person said and what I said, or something like that. It’s really good advice to get us all to work on specific things that people said to us - specific statements or comments. You know, people throw around comments all the time.
Sometimes they don’t mean to be hostile at all, but boy, does it wound you.
Rick: Indeed it does.
Carol: How about the future, and how that clutters our current vibration?
Some people listening will say, “Future? No, not at all. Mine’s all about the past.” Others will say, “I let go of the past a long time ago, but I cannot stay present because of my future concerns and worries.” We’re not saying the worries aren’t legitimate. Maybe you’re changing jobs or changing relationships or your kids are going off to school or something. Real issues are out there, but the extent to which you worry about it does not protect you.
