Using negative emotion as a shield



EFT is an excellent tool in unmasking emotions. But sometimes the resistance to letting go of the negative emotion comes from an unknown need to shield ourselves from what may lie behind it.

Our subconscious mind detects our ability to handle the real emotion and more often than not, it chooses an easier negative emotion to cloak it with. 

Most of you may be very aware of masking a negative emotion with a fake smile, fake laugh, etc., and that's the job our conscious mind does. 

But when there is a lot of sadness, grief, fear, or just unpreparedness to handle what lies underneath - our subconscious mind does an excellent job of cloaking it with either anger, irritation, frustration, resentment, or even feelings of revenge.

These feelings, especially anger, give an indication of feeling stronger and more in control compared to the underlying feeling. 

But the cloaking emotion only further adds to the confusion and complications. Once again,  EFT along with Ho'oponopono and guided meditation do an excellent job of gently peeling away the layers of emotions to clean out the core completely. That leaves us with a feeling of true strength rather than an implied one.

It can be tricky at times while working on our own cloaking emotions. Since we have chosen to hide the real feeling consciously or subconsciously, coaxing it out will need some perseverance. But it can definitely be done. 

It, of course, helps to have someone to work with under these circumstances, who can guide you to release these layers with minimum to no complications. 


A tip - Ask yourself - What am I protecting myself from with this emotion? and then use EFT to work on the answer.

Thoughts Vs Emotions

For those who have been practicing EFT for a while and the newcomers to EFT, it is really simple that once we have done a couple of rounds of EFT, it reveals a lot of things to us. When new emotions come up, it is really good, all we have to do is address them with another round of EFT. But sometimes our sweet intellect takes over and we start getting a number of thoughts, some memories, some perceived thoughts where we start analyzing the thoughts as possible connections to the issue at hand and start tapping on them. This takes us away from the issue. I hope you are with me so far and are getting what I am trying to say. For Example, if the issue at hand is you are feeling bad about something someone said to you, after a couple of rounds of tapping ideas come to your head and you start tapping " Even though I think xyz said this to me because..... " That becomes analysis rather than focusing on emotions. Even if such a thought does co...

Release problems to the Universe

All of us go through certain trying times in our lives when we come across some trying problems. Problems that may not be in the forefront, but always lingering in the background, just enough to be persistently annoying and affecting our lives. A short setup statement script to help with these kinds of problems is this: "Even though it is beyond me to find an answer or solution to this problem, I can choose to release this problem to the universe, to be resolved in a way and manner that's for my highest good and the highest good of all concerned.  Even though this problem has been going on for too long and is embedded too deep, I still choose to let go of all my need to control, solve, manipulate or fix this problem and am open to releasing it to the universe, for it to be resolved as easily, as smoothly as possible for my highest good and the highest good of all concerned.  Even though I may have ...

Let's Tap.....

I just realized it has been a really long time since I last wrote here, but that's not because I did not have anything to write, but sometimes there are so many things to write about that it becomes tough to prioritize. Every day   morning as you wake up and look at the newspaper or just turn on the news, what do you feel? Is there anything at all these days in the papers and the news channels that may even remotely bring cheer even in the vaguest sort of way? How often do we go through the day feeling disturbed and not really sure why we are disturbed till we rewind and detect it to be a tiny part of the news that was on some page 7 of any paper or just overhearing a snippet of the morning news while we ready ourselves for the day ( I personally have stopped listening to the news because of this but still browse through the paper and of course when we have the internet, what else is needed). Have we realized each day how much stress do we dump ...
