I would like to make a comment on stage 6 and would welcome hearing your and other peoples take on my comment. In my real world, I am constantly interacting with meaningful others who are not into the tapping scene and its deeper benefits as I and those who read your newsletter will be. For these non tapping people, me behaving as if the gunman had not shown up would basically mean that I did not care. Some will just resent this quietly- though letting me get the message through their body language. Others will increase the emotional power/aggression of their behaviour until they do get a reaction! Which is wearing. Given this reality, I do not think I could ever achieve stage six, though I suppose I could drop out of wider society, which I don't want to do. The compromise I am trying to achieve is accepting that the gunman has arrived and has fired the bullets, I do react in a way that respects and acknowledges the emotions in the bullets back to the gunman - it might mean getting engaged in the emotions, but learning from the behaviour of my cat, my aim is to reach a stage of emotional development that ensures that the bullet passes through quickly, stare in the mid distance for a short while and then get on with life as if it hadn't happened!

I am in recovery from an eating disorder, and have to deal with negative thoughts and feelings which cause me to want to eat inappropriately. I found this article very useful and it gave me hope that I am working my way towards stage 6. I often project judgement of myself onto others and am affected by their moods and feelings. I would be interested to know specifics on how to tap around these issues. I love this article on stages of awareness ..
