DON’T IGNORE YOUR ENGINE LIGHT Rea Hailley
I
f you ignore the engine light in your car, you can be sure that you will have costly problems down the road. Our bodies are similar. Being aware of and working through your emotions shifts brain patterns that lead to negative thoughts such as fear, anxiety, anger, shame and depression. This is why I teach Emotional Freedom Technique (a.k.a. Tapping). It allows you to safely explore and feel your emotions so that you can finally release them. It also builds resilience, clarity, confidence and overall well-being. All you need to do is tap on specific meridian points (see chart in link) while thinking or verbalizing what is causing you emotional distress. Simply keep tapping until the intensity of the feeling diminishes. Sometimes this happens in minutes, other times, you may need to repeat if the emotion resurfaces. But, there will always be improvement. This is because, according to Harvard studies, stimulating these meridian points calms the amygdala and reduces cortisol levels.
