“Tap on this!”
Today during meditation, an old and new way emerged.
For some time I have been aware that there are areas of our consciousness that know better what we may need than the egoic thinking processes that are conditioned by external stimulus and internal wants. Spiritual teachings throughout the ages have been clear about letting go into the present... however this may have been stated.
Recently I have been studying and practicing one form of energy system balancing called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technologies -
http://www.emofree.com/). By the way the EFT video library and course are quite good. EFT uses a system of tapping to reset and balance our energy system.
Today during meditation I was being aware of the sensations in my body and breathing into each sensation as it arose… sometimes referred to as relaxation meditation. Then it seemed appropriate to simply tap with fingers and thumb cupped together on each area of my body that called for attention… allowing my body and larger unconscious to direct the action.
I tapped on an area until it seemed ‘finished, then I would just be present until the next area presented itself… continuing to breathe into each tap and the silence… There was an awareness of not only subtle ‘calls’ for attention, but also some rather noticeable energy streams and shifts… just allowing the ‘wise expanded consciousness’ to be my guide.
The result was not only relaxation, but also a more inclusive ‘healing’ effect producing an overall sense of well-being, harmony, and presence…. My intention is to stay present with the sense of harmony within and be aware of when it may be pulled off balance… then, listen for what to do about that …in the present moment of course!
