 tend to end it. How many times have we said that
someone “needs a good cry. ” Indeed. T oxicity is often released through the
tear ducts as part of the body’ s natural genius at flushing itself out. Casual
use of antidepressants is unwise for just this reason—feeling the full extent
of your sadness is sometimes the only way to heal it. In the absence of the
feeling, you miss out on the healing. The body does not make distinctions
among physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual stresses. It is
equipped with the natural intelligence to address them all. You are mistaken if you think that you can fundamentally and
permanently change bodily symptoms by physical means alone. Problems
must leave thr ough the same door they came in. If mistaken thoughts have
created a problem, then righting those thoughts is essential to healing it. And if toxic feelings created a problem, they can only leave through a detox
process by which they come up again in order to be released. Excess fat is not just inert cellular tissue. It is a repository of twisted,
distorted thoughts and feelings that didn’ t have anywhere else to go. If you
remove the fat tissue but do not remove its psychic cause, then the fat might
go but the causal imprint remains. And the imprint, in time, will attract
more substance with which to materially express itself. It’s not enough to just “lose your weight. ” Y ou must lose the emotional
weight that lurks behind it. This you have already begun to do. Remember
that your food compulsion is a way to cope with painful feelings. As you
begin to heal from those feelings—removing their “imprint” from your
consciousness—they are necessarily refelt on their way out. Problems that seem to have nothing to do with your weight issues might
rise up, and in particularly challenging forms. Y ou might doubt yourself in
ways you have not done before, or have not done for a very long time. But
this part of your process is not a bad period; it is actually a good one, for it
is necessary. There is no spiritual rehabilitation without this kind of
detoxification. When any pain, dif ficulty, frustration, or challenge emer ges, try to see it,
honor it, bear witness to it, and receive it as part of your healing. The
situation carries within it important information for you. It is not just
randomly happening at this time. It presents the opportunity to examine
critically important issues in your life. Looking at your pain, feeling the
feelings, learning whatever lessons are being brought up for review—these
are ultimately the only ways to get the pain to burn away. The universe will never leave you alone at such a time as this. Angels are
all around you, as they gather without fail whenever a soul is seeking its
wholeness. This is absolutely not the time to isolate; rather, despite
whatever resistance you feel, allow yourself to join with at least one other
human being who might possibly be able to help you. Y ou will learn the
serious value of sacred friendship and/or professional counseling. Perhaps you will attend support groups, or spontaneously create a small
community of like-minded souls all taking this journey together. Books
might fall of f the shelf in front of you, and even strangers might have
something profound, wise, and relevant to say. Connecting more deeply
with others, you will connect more deeply to your own feelings. And even
sadness will be more bearable. Some days are sad, yet sad days pass. Spiritual mastery involves building the mental, emotional, and behavioralhabits to carry you through such times without an explosion of
dysfunctional behavior. Sometimes we just need to make space for sadness. Y ou do not need an
excuse for why you feel sad; you do not need to “fix” it; and, most
important, you do not need to run from it. What you need is to let it come
up and simply be with it. Your task with this lesson is to make space in your life, just as you make
space in your heart, for any sadness you need to honor. Perhaps take a walk
each evening, or a stroll on the beach each morning. Allow yourself to
grieve. You will learn in time to be with the void, addressing it with a bubble
bath rather than a sandwich, and with prayer time rather than a candy bar. Your task is to inhabit the emptiness, breathe through it, learn its lessons,
and hear the message it conveys. There is no hole for you to try to fill with
food or anything else; there is only the primal void within every human
being when we feel we cannot find God. Great literature, particularly tales of true tragedy, can be cathartic; it
gives a voice to your own buried, free-floating sadness, and provides a
conduit for its dissolution. When you read Anna Kar enina  in college, really,
what did you know. But now, after you’ve known a few V ronskys of your
own, you read the book with a new understanding: your pain is given
meaning there, immortalized in a character living precisely your own
heartbreak. And in Anna’ s response to her despair, you get to see the stark
reality that confronts you now: you can self-destruct, or you can rise up in
glory. You did not become an unwise eater for no reason. If you choose to
honestly confront the emotions involved in both causing and healing your
compulsive patterns, you will experience a dark night of the soul. But a dark
night of the soul is ultimately a good thing, for it both precedes and
prepares your spirit for rebirth. The darkness is simply the revisiting of old
feelings, in the absence of which true healing cannot occur. It’s important to
remember that this darkness is temporary, and leads ultimately to the light
beyond it. This time must simply be endured. But it is also to be honored for the
opportunity it gives you to burn through feelings that have come up at last,
and only now can truly leave. They are not being suppressed this time; theyare being led to the door. They have been embedded in your flesh, and will
now be cast out of your personal universe. The tears you cry now will lead
ultimately to rejoicing, as the day will come when you feel the lightness—
both physically and spiritually—of a brand-new day. There are poems, films, and novels—and nonfiction books as well—that
give meaning to the experience of deep sorrow. Choose three that speak to
you; perhaps something you’ve already experienced, or a book or movie
that you know about but have not yet read or viewed. Place them on your
altar and commit yourself to reading or viewing them. In honoring them,
you honor your own tears in a way that releases rather than suppresses
them. Such is the value of art. Reflection and Prayer
Relax, close your eyes, and pray for comfort. Give to Divine Mind your despair, your sadness, your hopelessness, your
regret, your embarrassment, your pain, your grief, your fear, and your
burdens. Do not rush through this darkness. Allow yourself to enter into it
in order to move through it. And in time the light will come. Dear God,
Protect me as I walk thr ough dark hallways of my mind. Release me fr om the bondage that would hold me back. I give to Y ou my hopelessness,
please give to me some hope. Reveal to me the light of truth,
that my darkness shall disappear. Each day, send love to guide my heart
and heal my thoughts. Heal me for Y our sake,
and not for mine alone. Show me how to laugh again
after so long being sad. AmenOceanofPDF. comLESSON 15
EXIT THE ALONE ZONE
Overeating is not a food issue, but a relationship issue. Your weight has been, on some level, a statement of your unavailability. Feeling separate from others, you built a wall; then, having built a wall, you
felt more separate from others. Separation became a theme, not only
regarding your body but in other aspects of your life as well. A wall went
up around you physically and ener getically as you learned to dissociate
from others in ways both lar ge and small. At times you might say an unreasonable “No” to opportunities for human
connection; at other times, an overly enthusiastic or needy “Y es” separates
you just as much as a “No” would. Y ou’ve been thrown of f track inwardly
and outwardly. You must address the issue of your unavailability, or you
will not stay on track even if you do get your weight down. The ener getic wall that surrounds you is not visible to the physical eye. It
consists of behavioral patterns of which you are probably well aware—and
if you aren’ t, then the people who know you best can surely help you
identify them. There is no point in even trying to lose your weight until you
have come to the place in your life where you actually want  to be closer to
people. Until that happens, the subconscious ur ge to build a wall will
override any diet you try. As previously noted, something and/or someone led you to build that
wall to begin with. And according to your subconscious mind, you still
need protection from that person or event. The subconscious deals in no-
time; the fact that the event is long past and the person is long gone


. They retire from the material world when they go to bed, but even in sleep
the world in their mind is still with them. This mental world has even
greater meaning in sleep. Now the person’ s thoughts, though still couched
in materialistic terms, take on symbolistic significance, and the things they
dream come to them as disguised meanings, playing out upon the screen of
consciousness the conflicts that exist in their subconscious. We are with our minds twenty-four hours of every day, and we never cease
to think. W e are influenced a thousand times more by the thoughts that
cross our consciousness than we ever are by the situations we encounter in
the sensual world. W e are truly mental creatures, and those animal qualities
we possess are residual only, left over from an evolution whose great thrust,
in the first place, was its ef fort to produce mind. Just as consciousness has
evolved out of matter, to eventually control matter, so will it one day be free
of matter, for the very nature of being presupposes a greater existence than
any that is likely to occur as long as it is bound to the flesh. The cycle of
birth, growth, decay, and death is bound to a physical world with its
necessary constant production of dif ferent forms in an ef fort to find the
most ef fective one. Such a cycle, however, no longer is mandatory for the
mind, which has settled on an absolute form and no longer is changing in
kind, only in degree. Evolution has brought us to the point where a mental
being might best serve advancement by being free of the cycle of birth and
death. Such a step is undoubtedly part of the evolutionary plan; it may be
set for a time somewhere in the future or may be upon us now. Meantime,
the fact has become apparent that the pathway to our salvation lies in
emphasis on mental existence and gradual turning away from physical
bondage. To Think Is to Do

Up to now no one has been able to stop the physical aging of the body, and
currently everyone is subject in the end to a physical death. As long as our
activities, our pleasures, and our sensations are rooted in our physical
bodies, we have no alternative but to eventually suf fer pain, dissolution, and
decay. But when we turn away from our physical bodies and take up
residence in our minds, then we are able to experience a constant growth
that not only lends us a deep personal satisfaction but fulfills the fondest
wishes of life and evolution. T o once make up your mind that intellect is
superior to and supersedes matter is to take the most important step of all in
the living of a serene and ef fective life. The soul grows within even as thebody decays without, and those of us who are able in the end to mer ge our
sense of being with that of the Secret Self will have perpetuated ourselves
into eternity and achieved immortality. Images that play about in our minds lead us inevitably into action. This is a
law of life, and we can neither start nor stop it. Whatever we think about we
must do. Since we cannot stop our thinking, we inevitably are led into
action by our thoughts, even if this action be of the most negative kind. Since a human being is a dynamic entity, choosing not to do a thing is just
as much an action as doing it would be. Fear of failure, for example,
predisposes us not to attempt any venture that carries a risk. As a
consequence, we are apt to allow all things to pass us by, deterred from
taking action because of the nature of the images in our minds. Usually
these images are placed there by fear, or one of fear ’s cousins, and these
negative emotional qualities spring out of the subconscious and have been
placed there by the ego. W e may rid ourselves of them by achieving a
proper relationship between the ego and universal mind. W e may become
whole by getting rid of our sense of surface self, by immersing the ego in
our wider being and becoming one with all things and all people. Getting Rid of Mental Blocks

We cannot force ourselves to think dif ferent thoughts from those that we
habitually think. W e cannot exclude certain thoughts from our minds or
force others to enter by an ef fort of will. Thought originates in the deeper
recesses of our being, an area that lar gely is unavailable to our conscious
mind and one that for the most part simply will not respond to coercion. A
psychological transformation is not possible without a spiritual awakening,
and before we can change our kind and type of thinking, it first is necessary
that we alter our conception of self. A little reflection on the ego reveals
what a delusional trap it is, for it is primarily a sense of separateness and it
feeds upon a sense of comparison. It is pleased to be better than others,
extremely sad to be worse, and it performs all actions for selfish motives —avarice, applause, power. The greatest sickness in the world is to be
satisfied in the ego, for then we are blinded to the real nature of life and our
own potentiality. Only when we are dissatisfied in the ego through defeat or
disillusionment are we close to the veil that separates us from our true
selves. It is at this moment that we suddenly may see, that our eyes and
souls may open and penetrate into the deeper and wider being that gives a
universal quality to all people. We immensely improve our ability to visualize when we rid ourselves of the
mental blocks and prompters that are stored in our subconscious. These we
are able to clear away through a proper psychic balance between the ego
and the Secret Self, and we achieve this balance by surrendering ego and
turning our lives over to the Divine. This is not nearly so dif ficult as it
sounds. W e are not responsible for our existence in the first place. W e didn’ t
choose the bodies we inhabit or the life into which we were born, our
language, customs, education, even the people we know have been chosen
for us by a greater power. When we learn to trust this power completely, to
turn over to it our sense of self, our actions, our mind, our ability, our talent,
we are enlar ged by it because of that very act. It uses us for its purpose and
many times more ef fectively than we could ever use ourselves. There is
tremendous ener gy to be gained by surrender of the ego to the Secret Self. Each of us becomes a power doubled. W e suddenly seem free of restriction,
cleared of restraint; our health, ener gy, and resources know no limit. Letting Go

Terry was a brilliant youngster. She had a straight-A average in high school
and was awarded a scholarship at a leading western university. But she was
an intensely nervous and high-strung young woman who seemed constantly
fearful and apprehensive. She would jump at the slightest noise, was shy
and awkward in the presence of strangers, became tongue-tied when given
an opportunity to speak, was afraid of heights, was afraid of closed places,
was sick a good deal of the time. Even though she graduated from collegewith honors, she nevertheless had great dif ficulty in finding a job, so
unfavorable was the impression that she made upon prospective employers. Her record prevailed, however, and she eventually found employment in the
laboratory of a lar ge industrial firm, where she helped in the research
department. Then for no apparent reason she suf fered a nervous breakdown
and was confined to a sanatorium. Some months later she left the
sanatorium, but she was too distracted to readjust to life, and she was
directed by a friend to a religious retreat. The retreat house stood on the bluf fs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and on
a clear day a hundred miles of the California coastline could be seen. The
brown hump of Santa Catalina Island stood of fshore like a camel rising
from the sea, and a light breeze generally blew of f the ocean, carrying with
it the salty tang of seaweed and kelp. T erry sat for hours on a stone bench,
gazing out over this panorama. The magnificence of nature dwarfed her,
and she could feel her ego subside. During such a mood, her adviser came
to her, and they sat on the stone bench and talked. “I see you are better now,” the adviser said. “It stands in your eyes. Y ou are
not so concerned with yourself. ”
“That’ s true,” answered T erry. “It’s because it’ s so peaceful here. ”
“It is peaceful anywhere, if your soul is properly centered. ”
“How does one properly center their soul. ”
“By getting rid of self-consciousness. ”
“That’ s very dif ficult to do when one has an inferiority complex. ”
“An inferiority complex is a delusion. ”
“It may seem a delusion to you,” answered T erry, “but it is not a delusion to
me. I am fearful and apprehensive in all I do because I feel inferior, because
I am afraid I will not do well. ”“Then get rid of the sense of yourself as doer. Accept yourself only as
instrument. Make up your mind that a power greater than you is working
through you to accomplish its ends. It is not embarrassed or fearful or
apprehensive. It is dynamic, irresistible, and eternal. If you can manage to
put yourself in its hands completely, you never will be embarrassed or

"POLIO	GROPINGS"

By	T.	M.	Schippell,	N.	D.

HERALD	OF	HEALTH,	APRIL	1955

A	great	deal	has	been	written	about	infantile	paralysis—commonly	called	polio. Yet,	when	all	this	mass	of	material	is	analyzed,	you	discover	that	practically

nothing	whatsoever	is	known	about	this	crippling	disease. The	hundreds	of

millions	of	dollars	that	have	been	tossed	by	the	public,	during	the	past	15	years,

into	the	maw	of	the	March	of	Dimes	have	accomplished	little	or	nothing. All	of

this	straining	on	the	part	of	the	National	infantile	paralysis	organization,	instead

of	erecting	mountains	of	protection	against	polio,	has	not	resulted	in	even	a

modest	molehill. Of	course,	nobody	but	the	"insiders"	have	any	knowledge	as	to	how	many

millions	of	these	charity	dollars	have	been	cruelly	wasted. Nobody	but	the

‘insiders"	can	even	guess	the	fortunes	of	dimes	spent	in	extravagant	plans	which

came	to	naught. Nobody	but	the	"insiders"	can	even	approximate	the	plush

salaries	paid	to	useless	desk	parasites—mountebanks	who	found	"good	pickings"

along	the	trail	of	this	childhood	scourge. Before	the	advent	of	the	March	of	Dimes,	polio	was	unpredictable	and

uncheckable. With	the	lapse	of	some	15	years	and	the	expenditure,	on	haywire

polio	preventatives,	of	the	wealth	of	a	Solomon,	polio	is	still	unpredictable	and

uncheckable. Medical	experts	are	actually	as	much	in	the	dark	today—despite

their	‘past	flamboyant	promises	and	hollow	declarations	as	they	were	before

 ten-mile rou
tine, a part of me was trying to talk myself out of it. But the new me, the
one that liked being slim and wanted to stay that way, won out, and now
I look forward with anticipation to my morning constitutional. The real
benefits became apparent to me one month after I started. When I first
started exercising regularly, my resting heartbeat was seventy-two beats
per minute. One month later it was fifty-four! In one month I had
strengthened and improved the function of my heart by eighteen beats
per minute. That's over fifteen thousand fewer beats per day! This trans
lates to millions fewer beats a year. We're talking about longevity. Lessening the burden on the heart by several million beats a year can't
help but lengthen one's life. That's exciting! Not only has exercise be
come fun for me, it has afforded me enormous benefits. I am certain without even a vestige of doubt that the addition of regular
exercise to my improved eating is a major contributing factor to being
able to keep my weight down where I want it. PLEASE DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF EXCLUDING EXERCISE FROM
YOUR DAILY LIFE. THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM DEPENDS ON IT! There are few people indeed who could not at least take a brisk walk. Just as the principles of eating should be a part of your new life-style,
exercise, too, must play an important role. While I'm talking about your new life-style, a couple other quick items
deserve attention: fresh air and sunshine. Few people realize how much
nourishment our bodies obtain from the air we breathe. Fresh, clean air
is a most valuable life force, along with sunshine, which is the source of
all life on this planet. Make a point of supplying yourself with both of
these important elements of health as often as you can. They will acceler
ate your progress in losing weight. A walk in the woods or at the seashore, or a hike in the country, will
do wonders for your physical well-being and your emotional and spiritual
outlook. Most important, it is essential to have a window open when
you sleep. Even if you must add an extra blanket for warmth, fresh air
circulating while you sleep is invaluable. The body can be more effective
90 • FIT FOR LIFE during the assimilation and elimination cycles if it is given fresh air while
it works and is not forced to breathe air that is laden with toxins it has just
eliminated. There is wrong information going around today that causes many of us
in the health field to cringe. That is the unbelievable misconception that
the sun is dangerous! THE SUN IS THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE ON THIS
PLANET! THIS IS A TRUTH THAT MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! Without
the sun there is no life as we know it! We create valuable nutrients with
the help of sunlight. It is also a great assistant in detoxification and weight
loss, since it opens our pores and allows toxins to exit through the skin. Anything that's abused can be dangerous. If you hold your head under
water, you'll drown. Does that mean we should not use water? Obviously
the potential for danger is there. However, it doesn't mean that we should
avoid it. There is also a potential for danger with the sun. Too much can
burn you, just as too much water can drown you. But we are not talking
about abuse, DO NOT AVOID THE SUN! TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT! Tanning lotions and sunscreens are not recommended. It is far better to
build one's tolerance to the sun slowly than to use oils, screens, or lotions
that prevent absorption of all the ultraviolet and infrared rays. They also
inhibit the workings of the oil-secreting glands. The important point to
remember is that it is not merely a tan that we get from the sun, but a
revitalizing of our entire bodies—not limited to the skin. If you do use
oils or lotions, avoid those containing chemicals. If you can, take a half-
hour in the sun every day or as often as possible, preferably in the morn
ing. This is absolutely essential if you wish to have that golden glow that
is so much a part of living the HIGH-ENERGY LIFE-STYLE. Most assuredly, physical exercise, fresh air, and sunlight play a crucial
role in the attainment of well-being. There is another exceptional tool at
your disposal that can dramatically improve every aspect of your health. It is something you already possess, and you need only to start to use it to
reap its many rewards. It is a phenomenon that emanates from the belief
that... EXERCISE • 91 CHAPTER
You Are
What You Think You Are
JLt may seem as if we have no con
scious control over our bodies' condition, because we are generally taught
that there is little connection between our thoughts and our physical
bodies. Whether or not that is the case, certainly a positive outlook to
ward oneself doesn't hurt. It is my personal belief, and there are others
who share it, that we can actually assist the body's quest for health with
our thoughts. In his highly acclaimed best-selling book Anatomy of an
Illness, Dr. Norman Cousins attributed his recovery largely to the positive
manner in which he viewed his situation. Beyond the Relaxation Re
sponse by Dr. Herbert Benson, head of behavioral medicine at Boston's
Beth Israel Hospital and professor of cardiology at Harvard, presents a
strong case for the mind's power to change the body physically. I spoke earlier of the incalculable wisdom and flawless accuracy of the
human organism. Also discussed was the tremendous role our beliefs play
in our lives. If you truly believe you can do something, YOU CAN! Ever>' cell in your body is teeming with life and possesses its own intel
ligence. Each cell is like a soldier in the army, awaiting its instructions. We are constantly sending messages or commands to our cells, and those
commands are carried out diligently. What I'm suggesting is that we can
consciously direct our cells to do what we want them to do. The body
• 92 • will bring about whatever result the conscious mind desires. The mind is
continuously assessing the body's condition and forming images in line
with what it believes to be true. We can literally change our bodies by
changing the way we think about them, even in the face of data or evi
dence that conflicts. We are constantly sending ourselves a barrage of suggestions about our
weight and our health. These can be either positive or negative sugges
tions—helpful or harmful. We have at our disposal the means to assist
our bodies in losing weight and upgrading our health, but to be healthy
we must start to believe we are healthy! To lose weight, start by believing
that you CAN and WILL! Your cells are awaiting your instructions. For example, if you look in the mirror and say to yourself, "Gosh, I'm
fat," mentally you are sending messages that automatically affect your
body in just that way. They are commands to the cellular structure to
keep you overweight. To tell yourself over and over again that you have
fat or unsightly thighs serves only to instruct them to remain so. But what
is simply marvelous is that your cells will automatically obey your last
instruction. So even if you have had a negative self-image for years and
have habitually sent negative messages to yourself as a matter of course,
you can, this very moment, start to reverse that trend. If, because of
habit, you say something negative about yourself, merely acknowledge it,
but do not reinforce it. Instead, simply suggest that the remedy be carried
out positively. If you should say, "Boy, look at that flabby stomach,"
immediately counteract that statement with a more useful one: "I'm los
ing weight from my midsection," or "My thighs are getting smaller," or
"i AM LOSING WEIGHT!" Your body will reflect those positive sugges
tions, which will supersede the negative ones. You will in effect be giving
your body permission to lose weight! This is a tool that works, and you
can employ it as often as you wish. Upgrading your diet by employing the principles laid out, exercising
daily to supply fresh oxygenated blood to your cells, and sending a flow of
positive suggestions to reinforce the success you are seeking form a win
ning combination that simply can't be beat. The greatest thinkers the world has ever known, from Da Vinci to
Einstein to Mark Twain, have always agreed that when it comes to un
derstanding any given subject, what we know is but an infinitesimal speck
of what there is to know. Statements like "The more we learn, the more
there is to learn," and "The more we know, the more we realize how
much we don't know" indicate that the tremendous body of knowledge
that makes up the great unknown will always be bringing new informa
tion to light. The enormity of what is yet to be learned about the human
body and how it operates is unfathomable. Some people's beliefs may prevent them from accepting that they can

anyone who is looking to lose weight and improve health to employ
whatever measures are available that can potentially lend help. From a
commonsense point of view,


iential journey. We need experiences to replace the past
conditioning. We need some bright experiences that lead us on, like a
child who is led: “Good, good, good, now come, take another step. Keep
coming, keep coming!”
There came a point when Jesus  said to me that I had finished my
last job working for a paycheck and reciprocity. He said. “You will now
be used in ways you can’t even imagine. You’re mine  now, and I’m
going to use you.” That’ s how my life has been since 1990. During thefirst five years, I traveled around the United States and Canada with no
home or apartme nt, not even a tent. I would watch the sun come up, and
when evening came and I didn’ t have a place to sleep, I would just wait
and see what would be given. There were no hotels or motels. I had an
attitude of, “What is offered?”  I was taken into many different homes
and had many miraculous holy encounters. That was like a miraculous
five-year period of “the son of man has no place to lay his head.” The
Holy Spirit told me to get used to it and that through trust, I would feel
that He would take care of me; that He would lead me and guide me in
everything that I do.
The first months of those five years were the most difficult only
because I had so much pride, past learning, and conditioning, and I was
thinking a lot about how I could take care of myself. Because of this, I
realized I just had to be willing to take my hands off the steering wheel.
When I would try to grab it back, Jesus reminded me, “Trust Me.” And
little by little, I started to trust in the Spirit and Jesus. Sometimes  I would
go to A Course in Miracles  groups while traveling, not knowing where I
would sleep the next night, and then three different people at the group
would say, “Come and stay at my home.” So, it wouldn’ t be a question
of whether I would have a place to sleep, but about which friend I was
supposed to stay with. It was like the Holy Spirit wanted to show me
another angle, that I was going to be taken care of. I needed only to pay
attention, and He would direct the plan moment by moment.
These experiences built up a lot of trust and also launched me into
seeing that I was perfectly taken care of wherever I would go. I got to
see that I didn’ t have to use my lifetime of past learning and ten years of
full-time univers ity. Instead, I had a lot to unlearn. Jesus said, “We have
some big boulders we’ve got to knock off your shoulders in order for
you to be truly helpful.” I couldn’ t continue to hold onto the arrogance of
thinking that I could direct my own way in this world and of believing
that I knew enough to navigate time and space.
To let go into trust and let the Holy Spirit lead the way reverses  the
ego mentality that says that if we want to do something, we have to
come up with the means. God knows the prayer of our heart before we
even utter a word. We are invited to a place of silence deep inside the
mind, to find an experience of purpose and intention. Purpose andintention are all about an inner connection with the Holy Spirit. It is an
experience of a strength and clarity that shows the way.
Trust is the willingness to dive into presence and authentically “go
for it.” You come to a state of not planning anything; you follow the
strong inner compass that is the Holy Spirit, moment by moment. You
may not know where this is leading you, but one thing is certain, it will
be miraculous!
I am sure that as children, we did not express to Mum and Dad that
we didn’ t care or plan for ourselves. We did not want the consequences,
the reactions. “What are you going to do with your day?” “Noth ing!” Or
better yet, “I will see how it unfolds.” “What about your chores? ” “I will
see how they unfold.” We would think those thoughts when we were
children; we just would not say them. But now it is like a new day, a new
start, a new heart, and a happy day filled with joy. Isn’t it great? That is
our theme: God’ s will for us is perfect happiness, and we are just like
children opening up to that experience. The prayer of our heart is “Show
me, show me!” This is how we trust and learn to becom e God-
dependent. “Except ye become as little children” means that unless you
fully recognize your complete dependence on God, you cannot know the
real power of your true relationship with Him.
I have always loved the curiosity of children because curiosity is a
reflection of openness. If you are curious, you don’t think you already
know. That is so important; that is one of those things you cultivate, just
staying curious and open to being shown. It’s very much like when you
are on a trust-walk where they blindfold you, and you put your arms out
and trust your guide to lead you and show you. I have done a number of
those experienti al trust-walks over the years, and it is just fantastic
because you really have to let go of what you think you know with your
senses. You are blindfolded, you have your hand out, and your guide is
with you in every step. It is intuitive trust, moment by moment,  that gets
us to a place of deep peace and joy.
This journey with the Holy Spirit requires trust and gentleness, and
by patting yourself on the back and being grateful for every little
willingness that you can muster, you will naturally grow in trust andopen up to miracles. When you start to live in the miracle, your concerns
and struggles disappear not to come back again.Exercise: Leap of T rust
Take some time now to look inward. Invite the Holy Spirit to join
you in preparation for this assignment.
Reminding yourself of the miracles that you have
experienced and then sharing them is a very helpful way to
reinforce the truth in your mind and to build trust. Allow a time
when you were guided to take a “leap of trust” to arise  in your
mind. It could be when you felt compelled to contact someone or
had a feeling that it was time to change jobs. In your journal, write
down your responses to these questions.
1. Describe the situation when you were being called to make
a decision or take action.
2. Do you recall what you feared you could lose if you took
that leap? Describe any thoughts and feelings of hesitation.
3. What compelle d you to take that leap of faith, even though
you couldn’t be sure of the outcome?
4. What was your experience afterward? How did you and
everyone else in the situation benefit from your willingness
to trust?
5. Are there any other steps on your horizon that you are
fearing to take? Explore all your thoughts and feelings in
your journal so that they may be dispelled.
In prayer and trust, know that peace and love are your
desired outcomes. Let this notion support your intention to move
forward with clarity!
Prayer:  Spirit, Here I Am
A very short prayer that can open you up to trust is “Spirit, here I
am.” Say this prayer and wait quietly with an open mind. Stay
attentive and relaxed. Watch what comes. Use this prayer toconnect to the deep quiet experience of the Holy Spirit in your
mind. Your focus is finding the quiet center within where the light
in your mind can be welcomed and revealed. Let go of any sense
of a need to do something. Instead, just be and witness this
moment. When you are able to find the place of alert stillness in
your mind, notice how it feels completely natural to trust. Spirit,
here I am.
When you feel ready, take your pen and journal and make
some notes of how this time of prayer has been for you. Then, if
you’re inspired to, write a poem about your current experience of
trust in the Holy Spirit or maybe a prayer springs forth from your
heart’ s desire to strengthen your level of trust.
Be still and know that trust settles every problem now!
Trusting What Is Given
When we practice trust, things coming our way will be seen as truly
given gifts rather than threats or problems. We all have miracles waiting
for us in the present. Miracles want to come through in a very beautiful
way, but we have to allow for them. If we freeze into “shoul d I” and
“could I,” then we are gettin g locked into the ego’s doubts and
comparisons, and we close ourselves of f from trust.
There can surely be periods of disorientation. These come because
we are loosening from the ego’s hold on how we live, and its laws of
scarcity, lack, defenses, and reciprocity. You’re going to have a lot of
reactions and reflexes coming from a fear of the light. But the good news
is that from these disorientati on periods, you’re going to come out
sailing and soaring in the most glorious state of mind that you could ever
want.
At first, miracles can seem a little strange because you are not used
to them.

our divine life purpose, here on this beautiful earth planet?
Interesting questions, aren’t they?  It would certainly be a curious exercise for each of us to explore and reflect upon  this unique, yet innate, skill set.
And if we prepared this spiritual resumé, to apply for
a job as a spiritual being in the work environment of Mother
Earth, how would our focus change?  It seems to me that we would shift from a lens of outer world requirements, to a lens that honors the essential qualities for inner life success.  It might shift our entire life paradigm around.  And yet, I am not so sure that this isn’t what we ar e truly here to do, and to be.  To live the
prosperity that we all seek and de sire, this may just be the kind
of inner “work” that we all n eed to invest in.  For we are,
essentially, spiritual beings  having human  experiences, in order to
more deeply know and experience our divine spiritual essence.
 A number of cosmic concepts are presented in  this book.
Some you may have heard before, but some may be less familiar
to you.  I offer this book as an opportunity for all of us to look deeper inside oursel ves, where we may see a deeper truth, a
hidden strength, a darting shadow, or a graceful gift.  All of
which are tremendous blessings.  They all combine to form the precise ingredients that make us who we are, and that allow our
journeys of infinite expansion.  To a spiritual being, there is
nothing more delicious than to ex pand itself, in order to more
fully experience its original esse nce.  This inner essence, our
inner divine spark that makes us who we are, is so brilliant, so talented, and so prosperous – that it is hard to imagine that it /G21/G03/G10/G05/G07/G11/G08/G13/G10/G02/G07/G03  11
could exist without ou r knowing it.  Yet this still rings true
for many people, at this time in human history.  This core desire, to reconnect with our innate talents  and our original essence, remind s me of a game that I used to
regularly play some time ago.  Not surprisingly, the game is called “ Essence.”  The gist of the game is  this.  People in a group
select one person to leave the room, and that person becomes the “question asker.”  Everyone else selects one member of the group to be “IT.”  The question asker returns, to ask questions of each group member, in  the following format;  “If I were a
__________________, what kind of ____________ would I be?” /G01
For example, “If I were a kitchen appliance, what kind of kitchen appliance would I be?”  The question asker asks each
person a unique and creative question, attempting to extract  the essence of the “IT” person from the answers.  Those in the group respond to the questions, trying to capture the essence  of the “IT” person in their answer.  The goal is for the question asker to extrapolate the core “essence” of the “IT” person from all of the answers given, in order to accurately guess who “IT” is.  Essentially, the question asker is trying to guess - who the ultimate source /G01/G07/G0A/G01/G10/G0B/G02/G16/G01 essence  is.
 We all seem to play various games of /G15/G04/G04/G05/G0C/G0D/G05 /G09/G01/G12/G13/G05/G07/G16/G16/G01
our varied life experiences.  We each desire to understand, reconnect, and realign with our own original essence.  We
desire to experientially /G16/G0C/G07/G14/G06 /G07/G08/G05/G01/G02/G03/G03/G04/G05/G01/G10/G12/G0C/G04/G03/G10/G16/G09/G01/G12/G03/G11/G01/G10/G07/G01/G05/G04/G0F/G04/G0F/G22/G04/G05/G01
the core fabric of ou r divine essence as a /G04/G08/G03/G09/G03/G01/G12/G0F/G10/G06 /G22/G04/G02/G03/G0E/G20/G01/G01/G17/G04/G09/G01/G12/G16/G01
the question askers, seek to extrapolate the ultimate essence /G06/G07/G17/G06
/G01/G02/G03 /G06/G05/G04/G04/G05/G0C/G0D/G05 /G09/G01/G10/G0B/G05/G07/G08/G0E/G0B/G01/G10/G0B/G04/G01/G05/G02/G13/G0B/G01/G04/G26/G0D/G04/G05/G02/G04/G03/G13/G04/G16/G01/G1C/G04  create for ourselves.
Our life experiences provide co ntinuous reflections of our
innate creative power, our free will, our Source-filled selves, and our ever-expansive light.
 As I present the essence of this book to you, I must also
include several important clarific ations.  The concepts in this
book are provided to help others in a quest for wholeness and well-being, but they are no substitute for professional, medical, or therapeutic treatment.  The ideas contained within this book are simply an /G07/G17/G17/G05/G09/G03/G0C/G0E/G06/G07/G17/G06/G03/G0C/G04/G08/G03/G09/G0F/G01/G03/G07/G0C.  If you use an y of the ideas,
concepts, or information contained in this book for yourself, I can assume no responsibility fo r your actions.  Additionally, I Cosmic Wealth
 12
use the words Creator, Source, God, Source Energy, Creator
Source, and Divine Creator interchangeably throughout the text, to refer to the grand Creator  of all that is  that exists in  the physical
and non-physical universe.  Th ese are descriptiv e words used to
refer to the infinite intelligence, creative power, and loving
essence that created all of us, and that indwells each one of us.
And lastly, the divinely guided messages included in the text were received through the proc ess of channeling.  When I
receive channeled messages, its kind of like taking dictation
from the spirit world.  I write wh at I receive.  I am simply the
receiver, or conduit, bringing them forth – to those who can benefit from them.  These divinely guided, transcribed messages come from a collective voice of non-physical Source energies, which I simply call “Spirit” in this book.  It was this essence of Spirit that guided my journey out of karmic debt  and into the daily experience of co smic prosperity.  I offer their
inspirational offe rings to you now.
Cosmic Wealth  is essentially a guide that offers a unique
spiritual lens through which we can more clearly see the inner
life that creates the world around  us.  I have included some
expanded concepts, creative  ideas, and divinely guided
messages - to aid our journeys of remembering, and re-aligning
with, our brilliant inner light.  It is my hope that Cosmic Wealth
invites you to open your heart - to enter a rich state of inner well-being, where you can invest in your own innate talents in order to experience the abundant cosmic wealth that awaits us
all. /G01

Dear One,
Always know how precious each child is upon
the earth.  Many cry out, but it is not for hunger.
Not for thirst.  Not for pain.  They cry out from

We are all in a cosmic quest to remember and to realign
with the original essence of our core inner light.  We all want
to feel good.  We all desire to feel prosperous, healthy, happy,
and infinitely free.  It is our d eepest wish to experience our true
divinity and spiritual freedom.  We want to know the truth of our creative power, our magical perfection, and our ability  to experience eternal bliss in the every day “now” of our life
experiences.  We, very simply, want to win the lottery of our lives, to experience the divin e jackpot of our unlimited

other than my lovely wife, three-year-old son, and soon-to-be-born child, I had very
little for which to be thankful. The onset of what can only be classed as exquisite pain made itself manifest in the hemorrhoid area. I mean pain that caused my eyes to tear.
It felt as though the entire "grapevine" was on fire. I like to refer to these hemorrhoids as a grapevine, for sentimental reasons.
   For the next week or so, I tried various home remedies in addition to hot
compresses. Nothing helped. In fact, the pr oblem worsened in spite of any treatment.
The pain grew so severe that it became intolerable. This necessitated my calling Dr.
Kale for an appointment to see him immedi ately on an urgency basis. I was ushered
into the examining room where I awaited the arrival of Dr. Kale with my fears
elevated and my trousers lowered. He took one look at my posterior, gasped, and said
alarmingly, "I don't like the way this looks. I want you to see the surgeon." The fact
that Dr. Kale wouldn't tell me anything upset me. So I went down the hallway to the office of the surgeon, my old friend, Dr. Cuttem.
   After a thorough examination, which I did not enjoy, including the insertion of a
well-developed finger plus a smaller steel tube called a proctoscope, which caused
extreme discomfort as it was forced past the hemorrhoids, he calmly informed me that
three of the hemorrhoids in my grapevine had gangrene. This was very serious and presented a grave danger to my life.
   For some reason I thought back to the ye ar and a half I spent with the army medical
corps in Korea during the Korean War. We had seen thousands of problems, including gangrene of the fingers and toes, but never ha d I seen or even heard of gangrene of the
hemorrhoids.
   My thoughts returned quickly to the present. I really needed something like this, as
if I didn't have enough complications. Leave it to me to be unique. After the initial
shock of the news wore off, I could finally listen to what the doctor had to say and it
was hardly music to my ears. He told me I was going into the hospital immediately. I
called my wife from Dr. Cuttem's office, announced the news and waited as she recoiled (she just couldn't believe anything else like this could happen to me), and told
her to pack a bag for me and meet me at the hospital. Corinne was due to have our
second child almost anytime and I was afraid all this excitement might trigger things.
I just could not visualize her being admitted to the hospital with me while our three-year-old son was at home. Luckily, that didn't happen.
   I was admitted to the hospital, went to my room accompanied by my wife, put on
my pajamas, and got into bed. Corinne then departed for home. Sometime later, the laboratory technician came in and drew some blood. Then an orderly came in with
shaving cream and razor and proceeded to shave the essential parts. I assumed he was rather new at this job because his hands we re shaking slightly. I nervously asked him
to be extra careful because I didn't want th e surgery started ahead of schedule by an
accidental slip. He nicked me only once, so I considered myself lucky.
   My surgeon visited me to discuss the operative procedure. He said that because my
ulcerative colitis was so severe only the three gangrenous hemorrhoids would be cut
out. He could not take a chance on a total hemorrhoidectomy with more trauma and
larger rectal packing, which I would pr obably blast right out with my almost
uncontrollable B.M.s.
   (An amazing thing happened, many months later, to all the remaining hemorrhoids,
due to the body's own ability to heal itself, as you will see. This occurs only after I
have left the usual medical programs.)
   Later that evening, the anesthesiologist came to discuss the anesthetic I was to
receive the next morning. It was to be a spinal anesthetic, which didn't thrill me too
much. I never did relish the idea of those long, fat needles being pushed into my
spinal canal. I was also told I would be given a whopping dose of a cortisone drug to
prevent any possibility of my going into shock on the operating table. This tidbit of
information also didn't thrill me too much.
   Finally, everyone was gone from my room. No nurses, no orderlies, no doctors, and
no laboratory technicians. Just silence remained. It was a pleasure for a while, until I
found there was time to think. Then all sorts of morbid thoughts came to my mind concerning the surgery and spinal anesthesia. After all, for years I've heard people talk
about their hemorrhoid operations--all bad. Now, here I am faced with it. How else
could I think? Well, before the evening was over I was completely tensed up over this
entire idea of surgery. I could feel the intes tinal spasms coming, and before I went to
sleep I must have made a dozen trips to the lavatory. But finally sleep did come about
11:00 p.m., at which time I was awakened by the nurse to take a sleeping pill. This
was one of the things I found difficult to understand, but when I inquired of others,
they told me the same story. After falling asleep, these people were eventually
awakened for a sleeping pill.
   Morning came and I was awakened at about 5:00 a.m. by an orderly holding an
enema. I said, "Is that for me?" He nodded approvingly. There's nothing so refreshing
as to wake up early in the morning in a half stupor to have an enema poked into you,
mildly crushing against exquisitely tender hemorrhoids on the way in. That's got to
wake you up! A few other steps in preope rative preparation were carried out, which
took the clock to about 7:00 or 8:00 a.m. About this time, a nurse entered the room with a hypodermic and said to me, "This is to make you relax." She plunged it into the
upper and outer quadrant of my well-cared-for and sought-after hind-end. I knew the only thing that could make me relax was to be anywhere but here.
   My wife, my mother, and a friend arri ved shortly after the injection. I was so
nervous that my hands and feet were blanched, but the sight of familiar faces eased
some of the tension. It wasn't long after that two orderlies came in with the cart to
take me to surgery. They helped me onto the cart, covered me, and began to wheel me out. I waved goodbye to Corinne whose expression was funereal to say the least. I
don't know what was in that hypodermic, but I left the room totally unrelaxed and wide awake. In fact, I really did not want to go, but the intense pain from my posterior
kept reminding me there was no alternative.
   When we arrived at the operating room, my cart was wheeled over to the operating
table where the two orderlies aided me onto it. I gazed up at the large spotlights and then scanned the room. I had always been at the surgeon's position when I performed
foot surgery and did not give much thought to the patient's perspective--until now. I
was very apprehensive. Soon I was given the injection of the cortisone which would
lessen my chances of shock. Then I was rolled over on my abdomen, prepped, and
draped. I could never lie on my abdomen because the pressure would stimulate bowel action and I would have to dash for the lavatory. I concentrated very intently on not
having a B.M. on the operating table and it paid off. But it did remind me of a few
incidents when I had scheduled foot surgery. I was already scrubbed, gowned, and
gloved and either ready to operate or al ready operating when I'd feel a wave of
intestinal spasm giving me the usual uncontrollable urge. I would, of necessity, break sterility and get the hell out of there to a lavatory. Then I would return, enervated and
embarrassed, re-scrub, re-gown, and glove again, and continue where I left off.
   When I returned to reality from this reminiscence, I overheard two nurses, who
thought they were talking quietly, discussing my case. One said, "Is this the
gangrenous hemorrhoid case?" The other answered, "Yes it is, and they sure are
messy." This did not do anything positive for my morale. It seems when patients are
in the operating room, unless they are under general anesthetic, they acquire
supersensitive hearing and everything is magnified.
   While one anesthetist was strapping my right arm to a board prior to hooking me up
to an intravenous solution that would go into a vein on the back of my wrist, I tried to
take my mind off it by playing meaningless games. I glanced around


 this on my own, I deeply and
completely accept myself.” You could also try, “Even though I don’t know
where to find the resources I need to move forward in my life, I love, honor,
accept, and forgive myself anyway.” You’d be surprised what can happen
when you take the edge of f some of the big emotions.
Now, what’ s happening when you think about tapping on your own
issues? Maybe you have started tapping and now all of a sudden you realize
big stuff is coming up. Have your feelings been stuffed deep down for a
while, and is tapping splitting some seams that have been holding them in?
I don’t know enough about you and what you have experienced to tell you
to go leap right into the deep end of tapping on the big stuff. I do know that
people are all over the map in what they can and can’t tap on comfortably
and independently without a practitioner ’s support. As a general rule, it can
be challenging to tackle the big hurts on your own, but you know what’ s
best for you, so trust that. You can tap on many other issues and save the
big stuff for the practitioner; in time, you’ll also have the knowledge to tap
on your own big stuf f.
When Dealing with an Emerging Issue, T apTapping is a handy tool for when something big and horrible happens in
your life such as an accident, bad news, or a sudden loss. You can choose to
start tapping on the upset right away; I don’t delay when it comes to these
sorts of things. Recently, my mother wound up in the hospital unexpectedly
—I found out while on vacation with my son. While we were on
speakerphone with my mother listening to her tell us what had happened,
my son and I tapped continuous ly throughout the call. We tapped on what
was going on for her just before the trauma happened (she’d been at a
funeral) and her feelings stem ming from that experience, on the many
varied fears my mother had, including the fear that the problem would start
up again, that she wouldn’ t be able to sleep because of the fear, and that she
could die but she wasn’ t ready yet. And while I was listening to her, I was
also tapping on my own fears that my mother would be taken from me and I
would be far away. At the end of the call, all of us, including my mother,
felt relief—and she reported that she had no more fear. Her health issue
never returned.
I start tapping if I’m talking to a friend who is sharing deep ly intense
emotions about topics ranging from “my daughter got arrested” to “I didn’ t
get the job” to “I’m afraid I have breast cancer.”
So inste ad of holding on to trauma, you may as well start releasing it
immediately through tapping. Are you afraid you’ll look weird? It’s no
weirder than some of the other coping mechanisms people have, and it’s a
lot more helpful! As always, seek the expert tapping help or professional
mental health help you need as well.
When Y ou’re Experiencing Intensity
and Don’t Know What It’ s About
What I’m about to suggest may seem contradictory—I’ve spent the last
several pag es ur ging you to get specific in your tapping. But tapping is not a
linear, logical process. It’ s a “both/and” process; there’ s no one right way all
the time. Like life, it’s a live, fluid process. You may not know what legs
are under a big tabletop. You may not know what you’re upset about. Youmight know you’re angry or uncomfortable but not why. Sometimes you
will only have some uncomfortable feeling you cannot identify. Or
sometimes after a conflict or experience with a loved one that wasn’ t
optimal, you might not have any emotions but feel a kind of body ache.
Just tap on what is happening right now. Even though you may not know
or are not conscious of the specif ic event associated with the negative
feelings, rest assured they are emanating from a specific event. And you are
tuned in, even if you don’t have words or understanding about  the why of
the upset. When you are upset, the tapping process will home in on the
energy disruption and work on your behalf. Your subconscious has the
location on the map targeted because you are already tuned into the feeling.
If it’s important  for you to know what’ s under the upset or the big global
target at that moment, your subconscious will access the memory of the
specific event.
You can even make up an event and tap on it as if it were real. Yes, that
will work. Your emotions are tuned into the energy disruption. By
experiencing the upset, you are releasing the negative emotions, restoring
your ener gy system to balance, thus feeling the upset for the last time.
Case Study: Global to a Specific
Core Issue: Body Confidence
Here’ s an example of how starting out with global tapping on “feeling fat”
led a tapper named Tara to a specific event that resolved many core body
issues for her. Tara’s tapping on feeling fat led her to a phrase she had
repeated to herself for decades: “Why bother to look good? Nobody cares
anyway. It’s a hopeless case.” At the time of this tapping, she was about
sixty-eight years old. As she tapped on this phrase, she asked herself,
“When is the first time I ever felt this way?” What jumped to mind was a
specific long-fo rgotten event from when she was fourteen: she and her
father were going  to visit friends.  She had been primping and making sure
she looked good, but her father said: “Why bother? Nobody  will notice
anyway.” Since that time, over nearly five decades, Tara had never botheredto make herself look good because she felt like no one would notice or see
her. She had harbored beliefs of being ugly, dysmorphia (thinking herself
fat even  though  she was a small dress size), and that no one much cared
about how she looked. As she tapped on all the aspects underne ath this one
event, her limiting beliefs disso lved. She realized she was actua lly in good
shape, and her feelings about her body transformed from negativ e to feeling
good about how she looked. After a decades-long break, she resumed
primping and caring for herself, relishing herself just as she was. Doing so
contributed to an across-the-board boost of her self-confidence.
More on Aspects
Sometimes it may seem like you’re not getting anywhere as you tap.
Aspects may rise in intensity as you tap and you will feel flooded with
emotion for a short time. Let’ s look further at what may be going on.
Shifting Aspects
Let’s say you have your tapping target and that you’ve now tapped several
rounds on the issue but the intensity is still at a 7. You seem to be
experiencing quite a bit of emotion moving through, but the intensity is not
dissipating. Do you give up? Not yet. It’ s quite possible that you are shifting
aspects, a process that’s exactly  what it sounds like. You are shifting from
one detail to another, perhaps another feeling or sensation or image of the
event you are tapping on. Identifying the shifting aspects takes some
practice. All you need to do is keep tapping, because the intensity will
subside if you are shifting aspec ts. However, see if you can home in on one
at a time, and tap one round or more on each of them.
Sometimes as soon as you tap down one intense aspect, another big one
arises. That’ s okay. Just keep tapping till they all subside. And they do
subside.
Emotional Flooding
As mentioned in Chapter 2, sometimes, when you tap, you might feel
“flooded” with emotion—but don’t stop tapping! All the feelings that havebeen stuffed inside are coming up for air, and this can initially be scary.
Keep tapping! It’s the fastest way to calm any emotional overwh elm, all the
way back down to zero. It means you are wholly tuned in to the issue at
hand and have hit an emotional jackpot. EFT is designed to uncover buried
emotions so we can clean things up and remove the emotional sting.
In situations like these, don’t even bother trying to sort the problem into
aspects; your system is literall y like a kaleidoscope in these moments,
moving through ALL the emotions at once. During the “flood,” just keep on
tapping and allow the informat ion and the feelings to come through you.
You will get through to the other side and experience relief. You’re going to
become increasingly confident about this as you continue to practice EFT.
Once the feelings have subsided, go back and see if you can find any
specific aspects that have remaining intensity and tap on them.
No Shift in Intensity
When you don’t experience a shift in intensity after a round, it is often the
case that you haven’t gotten specific enough or there’ s somethin g you need
to tap on before you can get to that particular tapping target. Maybe you
need to tap on how angry you are at yourself for not having solved this
issue yet. Maybe you need to tap on the fear you have about this problem
before you get to tapping on the problem itself. Or perhaps
