When we feel helpless… and even a PART of us senses our survival is threatened… the stage is set for emotional trauma. We freeze inside, and we get “stuck” there on some level until the trauma is discharged.
Worldwide financial events fit this scenario for many people. These are global currents that, like a hurricane, are not under our individual control. The wails and cries of the media, neighbors, co-workers, and politicians can get us “all worked up with nowhere to go,” even if we otherwise are not financially worried, much less panicked.
This kind of trauma ties into our beliefs about money, scarcity, and security. Even more importantly, events broadcast on the Worldwide Financial Fear Channel (WFFC) often trigger past memories of when we felt helpless, scared, and at risk. This is where tapping can bring an enormous shift.
For those of us who do a lot of tapping, and who have been releasing our financial fears consciously over the past years, we’re able to remain… surprisingly calm and confident no matter what “global crisis” is being broadcast today on the WFFC. It sometimes feels like “Gosh, I \should\ be scared, but that would be SILLY. It’s all going to work out.” This isn’t denial. This is how it feels when you can stay connected to Source Energy when everyone else’s primitive brain is shrieking.
Practical relief tips:
- Has something triggered your primitive brain? Learn to recognize the signs.
- Notice whether your attention is locked onto the alarm around you or connected with your own present experience.
- Ask whether you are tuned to the Worldwide Financial Fear Channel. If you are, fear will seem to get louder and show up everywhere.
- Start tapping, then gently refocus your attention on something that is okay right now.
