We know now that that could not be further from the truth! Especially those of us who have done any kind of emotional energy healing, we know many of those wounds are from words, whether they were intentional or not, are still effecting us today.

Last night I was watching a movie with my son. It was called An American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong on Family channel (a Canadian Children’s channel) about bullying. It was really well done, because it addressed the ripple effect of bullying and all aspects of it including the bully’s perspective. 

After the movie I was reflecting on that old saying and how it could be adjusted for today and here’s what I came up with:

“Sticks and stones may break my bones,
And these will heal up fast,
But wounds from words cut long and deep
And the scars can last and last.”

Let’s make up new sayings for a new generation of non-tolerance.  Feel free to post your ”new sayings” in the comments section below:

When I got home I continued to explore my own blocks discovering stuff from my childhood that I thought was ‘no big deal”, was actually a HUGE deal to my subconscious. I continued to search for my core issues by clearing major things from my past only to find myself caught in a tangled web of ‘tailenders’ (I will explain later) that left me lost in a deep maze of issues and emotions with no end in site. I felt emotionally drained and down. I must be the only one that totally sucks at doing this process that’s supposed to be so easy! Why isn’t it working? What’s wrong with me! I call this an ‘Energetic Funk’ and it is to be avoided at all costs!
BTW – a ‘tailender’ is EFT lingo for another aspect related to the original issue being cleared. These often pop up into our consciousness during an EFT session telling us we’re on the right track, but need to dig deeper – When these ‘tailenders’ are addressed it often results in an Aha!

Here’s the big thing to take note of. Just because a ‘tailender’ comes up, and if it’s a long standing issue more than likely you will come across many, it doesn’t mean you should keep going until you don’t have anymore . Do the work in baby steps. When you are working on your own stuff by yourself it is best to tap on the original problem and get it down to zero if you can. If a tailender pops up, make a note of it, then take a break and go back to it later or leave it at that until the next day. If you don’t get down to zero, it’s okay, just make note of where you left off.

The best way I know to describe what happens in an ‘Energetic Funk’ is to compare it to cleaning your house. Before you clean your house, you look around and see the mess before you and then proceed to clean the obvious and when you’re done you feel really good. Now, have you ever done spring cleaning? You know, when you set aside a chunk of time to clean out drawers, under rugs and furniture, pull out the fridge and stove, really gross stuff surfaces doesn’t it? Often you start one job and it leads to another, but you don’t have time to finish one so you move to another and the next thing you know you have uncovered all kinds of crap and now you’re overwhelmed because what you started you can’t possibly finish on your own in the time you have. All this time you had been cleaning the surface thinking your house was pretty clean. Oh, how blissful that ignorance was! Now the dirt is in your face, your house is filthy, how do you feel now …?  

Either you get some help or you’ll have to live in that filth till you have the time to finish the job and if you don’t do it soon enough the day to day cleaning will get behind and the job will be too big to even think about.

Back to baby steps. Just take it in small chunks or better yet, plan on getting help before you start a big job. It’s the same with EFT. In fact if you have some major blocks to work on I highly recommend working with a qualified coach, even if you are a coach, because it’s really difficult to step outside of yourself to get to the core of an issue, especially one from your childhood, after all you were just a kid. Even when we have grown and matured into adults we do not grow out of the imprint of that original emotion, it’s still there in our energy field just as it was all those years ago. With guidance and EFT that imprinted emotion CAN be wiped clean and as we know, when done right EFT has the power to literally change lives forever.

Especially in an instance where your child has been bullied or treated poorly by a friend, classmate or teacher and they come home hurt and angry.  As parents, we feel their hurt and anger and often in more directions, because we want to make it right.
The first thing we do is talk to our child and ask them to tell us the whole story from beginning to end and about their feelings.  First and foremost children want to be heard and if we listen, it reinforces that we care.  But what if you could take that to a whole other level and not only talk about the emotions but actually release them and prevent future emotional scarring? What if you could affect even the bully or teacher or classmate positively without even them being consciously aware of it?
You can with a technique called EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT is a meridian based technique that involves tapping on a sequence of meridian points while holding a negative thought or emotion in your mind in order to release it. The reason this works, often when nothing else will, is that a negative thought, belief or emotion is nothing more than a disruption in the body’s energy field, according to EFT creator Gary Craig. EFT has been successful in relieving stress, anxiety, limiting beliefs, fears, phobias, addictions, depression, physical pain, emotional trauma, and a host of many other life limiting afflictions.  It also works very effectively with kids because in most cases they have less resistance to letting go of their negative stuff than we adults do.
The next time your son or daughter is upset, sit across from them and ask them to tell you all about every detail and while they do, have them follow you through the sequence of EFT tapping points. He or she will hopefully be more preoccupied with their own upset and your undivided attention rather than to argue this, but if they do, just go ahead and tap on yourself as you listen.
While you both tap as the story unfolds, keep encouraging your child to really describe how he or she feels, for example: “And how did that make you feel when Billy said that?” And repeat the emotions as you keep tapping, even if you have to hear about how ‘stupid’ Billy is and that he or she hates him. It’s okay; these feelings are real and should not be denied while being released. This process will often only take 5-10 minutes or less until the most intense emotions are released. If your child will co-operate have them continue tapping until there is no emotional charge left. Take a deep breath together and think of some positive statements around Billy, such as; I think I can forgive Billy, sometimes he gets picked on too, he is really good at sports – I’m a great kid for forgiving Billy, I feel okay now, I have lots of good friends to be thankful for … And tap on the sequence of points as you both come up with positive statements and say them aloud. 
This is such a great opportunity to really listen to and help your child. In most cases you will find the real core issue will surface, if it’s not that evident at first, and together you can prevent an incident from becoming rooted in the energy field to possibly be a trigger for future self esteem issues later in life.
But wait, that’s not all, there’s a really amazing side effect that often occurs as the result of you and your child releasing emotions in this way and changing your own energy around the person, in that “Billy” will be different in some way too! So don’t be surprised if your son or daughter comes home to say that Billy didn’t do anything at all today, or did something uncharacteristically nice!

You can use energy therapies such as Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT to tap out your negative feelings while watching the news, a movie or your favorite sitcom.  EFT is a meridian based therapy that involves tapping on various points on the face and body while repeating an affirmation.  In this case however, we don’t need to repeat any affirmations because if the television program you are watching is bringing up anything negative within you, you are already “triggered” so to speak. 

Gently tap 6 or 7 times on each of the points on your face and body beginning at the top of your head and working your way down.  You don’t need to say a set up phrase, nor do you need to repeat any reminder phrases, you can just simply tap while watching television and clear any emotions or negative beliefs that are holding you back from living a less than blissful life. 

Let’s take a movie as an example.  You’re watching a movie and in it, the husband is cheating on his wife.  You have a fear that this could happen to you and so in viewing this program, you begin to feel a whole host of negative emotions.  Begin tapping while allowing yourself to relax and you will likely find that at the end of the movie – this scenario is no longer one that plagues your thoughts.  You are free because your mind and energy are no longer taken up by worrying about the possibility of something happening and at the same time – you become less likely to attract this sort of behaviour from your husband. 

Another example might be a news program.  You are watching a story about a celebrity who has gotten into some trouble for uttering various racial slurs.  You are extremely annoyed and so begin tapping out those feelings.  Oh but wait, if you tap out those annoyed feelings won’t you then be condoning the celebrity’s behaviour?  Not at all.  In fact just the way that you may be less likely to attract your husband cheating on you as in the above example, you will also help to heal this type of behaviour on a global level.  Yes, you are that powerful!  Imagine if everyone were to clear their negative emotions this way.  Don’t you think our world would be a much more peaceful place to live?  It was Mahatma Gandhi that said, “Be the peace that you wish to see in the world” and that is how you can change your life as well as the world around you.
