Dear Laura,
Thank you for a motivating session. I appreciate your insight and technique leading me to a core issue I thought I had dealt with.
That issue was the loss of my beloved pet Lyle, and the challenges I was having with my new dog Jimmy. Your questions opened up the grief I was still suppressing over the loss of Lyle two years ago. Before the session I would tear up when thinking or speaking of Lyle, I felt a lot of guilt about bringing in a young dog to the home when Lyle was in his declining days. You helped me forgive myself, and more importantly appreciate the present the experience brought me.
You picked up on my reference to the "kindness" I felt and missed from Lyle. The kindness I sought was also from myself and revealed some deserving issues. Recognizing the need for this was helpful and continues to help as I am faced with daily experiences.
Another amazing manifestation from our session came in the form of a companion for my young dog Jimmy, I shared with you my frustration in his energy level and rough behavior and how it was difficult for me to be happy with the situation. Well..... I knew that Jimmy was lonely, and his energy needed to be spent in an enjoyable activity for him. Jimmy attracted a companion. The companion is a young Shibu Inu male dog. He was a stray that was hanging around. He began hanging with Jimmy during the day, he was/is very leery of humans, and soon started getting closer with the help of food and shelter as incentives. He now resides in the outdoor kennel. I am working on taming him down and possibly locating his owner.
Meanwhile, he and Jimmy play all day, they are happier, and so am I.
So I guess you could say the tapping did a lot, including providing a 30 lb. dog I wasn't expecting.
Sincerely,
Regina A., K.C., MO
UPDATE:
Hi, Laura,
The tear up factor is 95% better, in fact many parts of my life seem to be better. I think the grief/deserving kindness/forgiveness/unconditional love, table leg(s) we tapped on, were major. Two days ago I was invited to be one of 3 students to go for a week of painting at Monet's gardens in France. I immediately said yes, I didn't have the "oh no what about Jimmy", it was oh yes it is about me. I have a feeling of trust that it will be o.k.
Peace and abundance,
Regina
