How does tapping (MCTS or EFT) work in the context of the Mind Clearing System
I would like to give another example of how to use the tapping technique to heal old injuries and neutralize beliefs associated with them.
First of all, let's ask ourselves what happened back then. Let's take the example, you have a little brother and he does something. Since you yourself were only slightly older, you had no chance to prevent it.
So, your little brother has smashed a good vase while playing, your mother comes into the room, startled by the noise and you get into trouble because you didn't take care of your brother. You may even get a slap in the face.
Then we already have a few feelings in it: helplessness, a sense of injustice and probably also anger.
If you now tap this event, then you release these feelings that were locked up until then and have always burdened you unconsciously.
We are shaped by our past thoughts. And these have their power through the trapped feelings and emotions.
By tapping, we solve the emotional part and thus it becomes only an inconsequential memory.
What happens when you just let yourself be sprinkled with a boring movie? Just sit on the sofa, relax and something is playing on the TV. It doesn't get any attention
and if I were to ask you now, what are you watching right now, you couldn't say. This is what a redeemed memory feels like.
In contrast, it is an exciting, emotionally stirring film. It will accompany you for who knows how long. That would be comparable to an unresolved memory.
And this is where what you normally work on with EFT ends. The tapping technique remains the same, but the question goes deeper (that's why I'm talking about MCTS).
What kind of beliefs could have arisen there?
I'm weak and helpless
Life is unfair
It's my fault when others do something.
I'm not allowed to show my feelings.
Here we have the beliefs that we can tap into detail. And when these beliefs no longer have any power, no longer apply to us, then (and only then) can we install new beliefs. Here you can knock the decision:
I'm strong (I choose to be strong)
I know how to help myself
I am not responsible for the actions of others
I am allowed to show my feelings etc.
Of course, affirmations also work at this point, simply because nothing stands in the way of them.
As you can see, an event that seems quite harmless to an adult can result in a number of unhelpful restrictions and beliefs for a child. And if you think the thought further, you can gauge which beliefs and beliefs have arisen in worse experiences.
