[Note: This is part 4 of a 5 part series. When all five parts are published you will be able to find them at Talk To The System.
When we are learning the basics of tapping we are taught the more specific we can get the more effective the tapping is going to be. This is not only true for specific issues, but also specific parts of the system. I was inspired by the exercise I call “The Grounding Process” to look at each part of our system and tap for it. ]
Sometimes we need to talk to our spirit. Sometimes we need to listen better, more closely, and more often to our spirit. For me the struggle is just needing to be still enough to listen.
Here is how I tap when thinking of my spirit (remember to take a deep breath):
I love the fact that I am soul…I need to remember that I am not a physical being with a spiritual life…I am a soul that is having a physical experience…This is something I forget all the time…I need to find time to just sit and be connected to my soul…It is always there…It is always the still small voice of inspiration…It never leaves…It never shuts up…But it rarely shouts…It is quiet…It is still…I need to create space to just listen…Not to listen for instruction…Not to listen for inspiration…But just to be…To be still with my spirit…My soul is not in a rush…I can learn from that…I can be in this moment…Knowing it is enough…Be still…Be still…Be still
I asked some my friends and fellow practitioners what they wanted to say to their soul and what they need to hear from their spiritual self. Take another deep breath and tap:
I am a beloved child of an amazing God. I believe this to be true but sometimes at the deepest core of myself I don’t trust that it is really true for me. I believe that maybe it is true for others but not for me because I’m too much of a mess and failure. Keep reminding me that I am a beloved child of God.
Tammy EvevardSometimes this world and our personal situations can cause us to feel hopeless, helpless and dispirited. Remember “This too shall pass”, and that life consists of constant cycles of change and growth.
Colleen FlanaganYou are not alone. You know exactly what you are here to do and you are doing it – with honor and integrity. You are always provided for, and you are always guided. Stay connected to the Divine and your way will be made clear.
Rev. Anne PresuelYou have permission to be part of my daily life…I know I forget you are there…It is not because I don’t care…it is because I forget…Please remind me you are there…Please remind me that I am a beautiful creation…Please remind me that I am made for love…Please remind me that I am worthy of love…Please remind me who I am…Please remind me that I need not be in a rush…
I call upon my eternal soul to remind of the most important truth…the truth that lets all my stories about my traumas, pains, wrongs and wounds fall aside as simply “stories”. Because my soul knows that I have never been broken, never been wounded, never been unloved, abandoned or hurt. I call upon my soul, my spirit to remind me that I am whole, eternal, loved and holy.
Margaret M. Lynch“Thank you for never giving up on me. I was one stubborn customer, yes?!”
Jondi Whitis“Even though I don’t always hear you, I trust that you are always guiding me.
Even though I don’t always know my purpose, I trust that you do.
Even though I sometimes rush and don’t connect with you, and take you for granted, I savor the moments when I slow down and my deep connection to Source flows easily through you.
Even though it’s taken me a while to connect with you, I’m so grateful to know you.
Deborah Donndelinger“Quit being afraid.
Quit being afraid to love yourself. Quit being afraid to let your ego die. Quit being afraid to serve other people. Quit being afraid to let other people into your heart. Quit being afraid to be, learn new things about yourself, the world, and God.
My spirit will one day make its way by to my creator. When that happens I want to melt into the divine the way I was meant to:
Unafraid. ”
John RoedelAll is possible.

Seems I always am coming back to THIS. I have any number of “issues” with pain, and MS, and you name it…like anyone else. Thank you for the reminders…as I go to my EMAIL everyday…I now also go to my EFT to assess what is what.
