Well, in order to overcome your enemy you must first learn all you can about them, right?

You must learn what makes them tick…their strengths and weaknesses.

So let us begin by looking at the definition of fear.

fear/fi(ə)r/

Noun:
An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

So, as we can see a fear is an emotion. Which means that it is not something that is done to you but rather, it is created from within you.

An emotion is something you feel. It is a physiological event that takes place in your body.

So, what causes us to create this emotion in our body that we call fear?

According to this definition, fear is caused by a belief. A belief that someone or something may cause you harm. It is a perceived threat.

Now, many fears are healthy and are quite necessary to protect us from harm. In fact, it is believed that humans are born with two instincual fears. One is the fear of loud noises, the other a fear of falling.

What this means is that all other fears are learned.

Imagine as a young child in grade school you were asked to come to the front of the class and share something, only when you did you got ridiculed from your classmates or maybe even reprimanded by an authority figure like your teacher.

When many of us have experiences like this we tend to encode them as a lesson that says “don’t do this, because it will equal that”.

In the above example it would be, “don’t get in front of large groups because if you do you will be ridiculed.”

Thus, a big fat ugly fear of public speaking is born. Or in some cases a general social anxiety disorder.

So the key to overcoming fear is really to understand that it is just a belief that someone or something may cause you harm.

In the case of public speaking, is it true that every time you get in front of a large group that you will be ridiculed? Of course not!

But even if your common sense tells you that, if you have that fear programmed inside of you then it will almost always be a struggle to get in front of large groups of people and you will have to work very hard to overcome it…unless you have the knowledge that I am sharing with you now.

By changing how you produce the emotion of fear… you will overcome it.

You can start by tapping on the sensations and feelings in your body when you begin to get fearful. Think of the last time you were afraid. What was it that triggered you? Use your imagination to put yourself back in that moment when you were feeling fear. Notice those feelings and tap.

Next, tap on all the pictures, sounds, colors, images, and expressions in the memory. Focus on them while tapping and affirming that you are releasing and letting go.

Keep repeating this process until there is no longer an emotional charge of fear in the memory. Often times as you do this healing the original event will surface (such as the first time you got in font of your classmates). When this happens it is your subconscious giving you the opportunity to heal, release, and let go. Keep tapping until you can focus on the memory without feeling the emotional charge.

Once you tap it down to neutral, think of a happy, loving memory. One that makes you feel really safe and warm. Then send that feeling over to the old memory. Flood the old memory with peaceful, loving, warm feelings.

By doing this you are actually rewiring your brain so that you can now move through the old circumstance (whatever it was that you were afraid of) with confidence and love.

“Of course I’m afraid to die! Who isn’t?”

On the surface this may seem to make sense but an important question for you to ask yourself would be:

“How is this fear, or belief affecting the way I live my life?

Life is always changing. The key is how quickly can you change and adapt? To adapt is to make peace, release and let go of the fears, anxiety, anger, resentment, etc.

Here is the shocking truth: Everyone and everything will eventually die. Yes including you and me.

What does that mean?

It is my personal belief that while your physical body will some day be used for fertilizer, the true spirit or essence of who you are is eternal.

But no matter what I believe the issue here is how you are feeling about death. The key is to make peace with those feelings. The fear comes from  the story your are telling yourself about death.

To begin the healing process and release your fear of death apply FasterEFT. Here’s an example:

Client: I don’t know what to do! The idea of death frightens me. Every time I am reminded of my immortality I break out in a sweat.

Practitioner: That’s interesting. How do you remind yourself about your immortality?

Client: I guess whenever I watch the news or a movie or something…I get reminded.

Practitioner: And then what happens?

Client: Well, I start to picture myself in different scenarios. Like, how I might die. and then i feel this dark, gloomy cloud over me and I begin to break out in a sweat.

Practitioner: I notice you are sweating  a bit now. Are you doing it now? Are you producing this “fear of death”?

Client: Yes.

Practitioner: On a scale of 1-10 with a one being nothing at all and a ten being extremely anxious, were would you rate this feeling now?

Client: About a 6.

Practitioner: Can you make it stronger? Notice that black cloud and how gloomy it is. You could die tomorrow. Everybody is going to die eventually and so are you. Can you feel it?

Client: Yes…it’s a 10.

Practitioner: Good. Tap now and repeat after me:

Eyebrow: This fear of death

Side of the eye: This dark cloud

Under the eye: this dark, gloomy cloud and everything it represents…let it go.

Collar bone: The sweaty feeling, the cloud, the pictures, the anxiety, the sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, angers, frustrations, losing control. It’s safe to let it go.

Wrist: Let it go.

Eyebrow: Let it go.

Side of the eye: I’m safe as I release and let it all go.

Under the eys: Let it go.

Collar bone: All the fear, the cloud, the guilt, and everything else. It’s safe to let it go.

Wrist: Let it go.

Take a deep breath…and say Peace.

You can repeat this technique again always giving the fear of death a rating from one to ten. It is important to tap in down to ZERO.

Then you will be free to see life for what it really is…a series of moment to moment experiences that you can react to in any way you choose. Once you do this you will be be free to enjoy life and experience all the abundance and joy there is.

Tapping is a life skill. Use it to learn, grow, adapt, live and love.

Peace.

When we allow our thoughts around a particular subject to accumulate–that is, we allow our thoughts to fester and focus on something negative–those thoughts begin to affect our body, specifically the nervous system, and in turn this affects our behavior and ultimately our circumstances.

The anxiety or anxiousness you feel is your body’s response to your thoughts. Many times we get so used to thinking and feeling a certain way that we forget that we are actually the creator of our thoughts. We get into habitual patterns of thinking that become so natural to us that we just accept them and our ensuing circumstance as reality.

News Flash: You can change your reality in a moment by changing your thoughts.

The first step in healing your anxiety is to begin to realize when you are producing it. As soon as you notice the feelings begin using the FasterEFT tapping to release and let go.

The FasterEFT tapping allows you to interrupt the thought pattern that is producing the anxious feeling in your body. Be aware that you may have several different thoughts associated with your anxiety so be patient and keep tapping until the feelings subside.

For more information on how to use FasterEFT as help for anxiety contact Alan for your free 30 minute introductory session.

Like all other behavior, the answers to these questions lies in thought and emotion.

To be addicted to anything is to have a habitual thought about that thing. If you imagine your consciousness as a flowing river and your thoughts as a log or tree branch floating down the stream, what would happen if more and more logs were released into the river? Eventually they would jam up wouldn’t they? They would collect and gather and block the flow of the water.

The same thing is happening with your thoughts when it come to addiction. But how do these thoughts get placed in our river in the first place?

That is where emotions come into play. At some point in our lives we have an emotional experience that we attach to the person/substance/behavior that we eventually become addicted to.

When we realize that all we really want is love and that the addictive substance will never love you back, you are set free.

Tapping is utilizing the power of your mind to disconnect the emotional thoughts with the substance and helps you re-align with what you really want and what you already have inside of you…love.

Usually when asked this question people will begin to talk about their job, their boss, their spouse, or any other number of “outside” sources.

Sure, on the surface it may seem like all of our woes are inflicted upon us…but is that really the case?

If a loved one speaks to you in a way that seems to make you feel bad the words may be theirs but ask yourself…

Whose insecurities are you experiencing?

Whose feelings are you feeling?

Whose thoughts are you thinking?

No matter what goes on “out there” it is your thoughts that are creating your feelings in any given moment.

You create you reality though your thoughts. Your natural state is actually one of happiness and well-being yet in any given moment you choose to either experience your well-being or to cloud it over with thoughts that feel bad.

Insecurities, judgements, loss of control, sadness, helplessness, anger, frustration…they are all self-imposed illusions. They are like filters that you place over an otherwise clear lens.

Once you realize that you are the one producing the thought will know that you have unplugged from your well-being by noticing your negative feelings…and then you can easily tap, release, and let go.

Then a magical thing happens.

You get re-connected to your source. The source of all well-being and Universal Wisdom. It’s always there for you.

What you seek you already have.

Schedule you free 30 minute consultation with Alan today.

Tapping for success is all about understanding where your problems are coming from and addressing the real cause.

Stress and emotions are your body’s reaction to what you produce in your mind.

If you are stuck in a negative loop you can break that cycle with FasterEFT.

It’s a life skill, use what works

Peace and hugs,

Alan
