Obviously, the main issue I’ve had with “The Secret” people is the pressure, especially Abraham, puts on you to think perfectly.  It’s paranoia inducing and sabotaging.  However, as a teen, I had a knack for manifesting through intention so I’ve had a hard time cutting the cord. 

The last nine days I’ve been involved in a free “tapping” seminar online.  These are EFT sessions which help you work through limiting beliefs and emotional memories by physically tapping on energy points in your body.  If you’re familiar with acupuncture, acupressure, NAET, or NET, or anything in traditional Chinese medicine, you have an idea of what I mean.  I don’t really know the history of tapping, but I don’t think it’s an ancient Chinese art.  This is fairly new in healing and is used predominantly by psychologists.

Anyway, something happened in one of the sessions today that made me so, so happy.  YAY!  Nick Ortner, who I believe orchestrated the event, gave me the freedom to relax about the “Law of Attraction.”  To paraphrase, while attributing great value to the principle, he said that “when there’s a monster standing in front of you, you don’t just turn around and pretend it’s not there.”  In tapping, they acknowledge your negative feelings and help you to let them go rather than create more anxiety by making you feel like life is going to get you if you give your negative feelings a fleeting thought. 

Whew.  Thanks.
