a branch of Mama Duck EFT
Hmmm....maybe I need a plan
When I started EFT (just a couple weeks ago, it's hard to believe), I felt like, "oh, what will I work on? I really feel pretty good." LOL
Soon, I connected with Nili and started here, started my Personal Peace Procedure (PPP) and started a general list (after listening to Carol Look) of tappable issues.
Ok, now I've got lots of work to do! So, yesterday I brainstormed a bit to see if a plan would present itself.
My desires:
* to continue with Nili's program
* to continue my PPP
* to learn more about helping others
* to learn more about EFT
What should my daily work be like?
* session from Nili (current or repeat)
* any urgent needs (pains, emotions)...have a body dialogue (ala Jennifer McLean)
* if not too much, then something from my PPP, starting with the big ones in my big categories
* Extra time? read online or listen to Carol Look downloads
So, November 4:
* Nili #5
* Urgent? 1. Hip, 2. Neck, 3. Shoulders, 4. Self image
* PPP? reread, do first one!
* Extra?
So, with this plan in mind, and lots of quiet time (another fishing day, sun shining, beautiful lake) I set off on my plan.
Hip: I had a great tapping on my hip, starting with "Even though my hip is out of joint...." (did that twice) and "Even through I fear moving forward...." (Louise Hay's explanation for my hip trouble) (did that as the third set up sentence).
**My body is telling me I'm sometimes fearful, when I turn a certain way my hip twinges, when I think of moving forward in a particular way, I'm fearful
**Small steps already taken
**There will be a way, in the meantime, I keep preparing
**No wonder my hip hurt for so long before, I couldn't even imagine a way forward then. (Note....I had tons of chiropractic on this problem for years, with only some relief. Now it's virtually gone.)
Wow! I was definitely blue-violet after that. :)
Neck another wow....I set up with "Even though I have returning stiffness in my neck...", then "Even though my neck is reminding me that I am stubborn and don't like to see new ways of doing things...." and then "Even though I am stubborn and don't want to see new ways of doing thing...."
**My body is a good communicator
* I am stubborn
** I don't like to see new ways I can do something, but I like to share new ways with others
** Why not let others share with me?! (It doesn't mean I'm lacking!)
So, feeling great, I moved onto my PPP, starting with my list "Inadequate/shame", tackling #29, which had to do with someone criticizing me. I started at a 6/10. In the first round I realized that this wasn't just this person criticizing me in the present, but connected back to my childhood. After the first round I was at a 4, then 2, then after a third round, it was a 0. Then I tapped my childhood criticism, which started at a 6, but went right down to 0. I was even laughing by the end.
It's so weird that it feels better. I picked one that will test me soon. I came around to....being criticized is not part of me, it's part of them.
Then I listened to a download by Carol Look and Rick Wilkes, "I am not good enough". Boy was that on target and useful.
I really had a good day tapping! I love that "feeling blue" can be a good thing! I've always liked blue, and I'm more and more attracted to violet these days.....hmmm, well, if I'm honest, to red, too. What does that say?? :)

A note on my groups of sentences:
I create them beginning with the tough stuff and move towards release and joy. I believe we need to accept that we have and have had these strong feelings and we have created maladaptive behavior as a result before we can move on to fully letting go.
So these are definitely a progressive set and we may well need to work through the first couple thoroughly before we can profitably go on to the last ones.

Hi Aimee,
Yes please keep sharing, it's great to hear how things are working for you. And you remind me that I need to get myself back out there too.
Nili, Your sentences on anger made me cry. I think I need to start saying them too.
I'll try and add some more a little later today.
Much love

Aimee, when I made my Personal Peace Plan list I had two major topics which had far more episodes than others. These were "embarrassed" and "anger," an equal amount of each.
I put my self-work program together by categories, that is, looking at, for example, the anger episodes, together and I formulated a group of set up sentences to use on them as a cluster. I call this method the personal peace procedure for type A's. :-)
For anger my sentences were:
Even though I have been angry so many times in my life I accept myself completely.
Even though I have been annoyed, resentful, angry and furious I accept myself completely.
Even though I have been angry, even to the point of self hatred, I now accept myself completely.
Even though I have been angry so many times in my life and have had self punishing behavior I now choose to love myself completely, to let the anger go and to move forward in joy.
Even though I have been angry so many times in the past I now release the anger, accept myself completely and find myself grinning with the delight of living.
I release my old anger and my angry responses and accept and embrace happiness.
These sentences fit me and may or may not fit you but I'm sure you get the idea. After tapping thoroughly on those sentences I found all 135 episodes almost totally collapsed. Pretty fantastic!
Yes, by all means continue to share with us your experiences and work. You and your writings are an inspiration to me and to Ilana and you are a fantastic example for others of positivity and of how to extract messages and tapping material from experiences and events.

- Thank you, Ilana. Sometimes it takes someone else to see how things go together. I just knit myself a beautiful red sweater. My first big knitting project. It is bold, but I like it.

This plan sounds ambitious and delicious. I enjoy reading what you share here, so please continue! I certainly related to several items, such as your whole NECK thing, and preferring the color blue (as I child I always picked the blue playing piece).
As to also finding red attractive, I believe you already gave us the reason. You said: "Expression is another issue for me." So, I think you'd love to be free enough to express anger, rage, even hatred. Expression and taking action are not the same thing. In fact, quite the opposite; emotional freedom to recognize a feeling, own it, come to terms with it, and release it is what we hope for you. That way is doesn't get bottled up, to either push you downward towards depression, or explode outward.
About
Very Important Question
One of the most important questions you can ask is
“Does this suit my intentions?”
The word “this” refers to any choice you are making that affects your goals. In the store, when you have those cookies in your hand, ask yourself, “Does buying these suit my intentions?” If you are thinking of watching a movie rather than joining the EFT session, ask yourself “Does this choice suit my intentions?”
Let your higher self answer the question and make your best choice.
The more you ask the question, the more you will be guided by that smart voice that helps you maintain your commitment to yourself.

Gary Craig, EFT founder on what is EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
is a method to release negative feelings naturally.
It is an emotional form of acupressure.
With your fingertips, you tap certain energy points on your body while you are "tuned in" to your problem.
Gary Craig, the founder of EFT:
"I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose, but I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will.
We are still learning why EFT works so well. It centers around the profound effects of the body's subtle energies using the theory that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. Accordingly, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem.
The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods."
