Hi Guys,
great discussion! Thanks for sharing all your insights!
I would like to add that many points on the emotional scale are actually not emotional but beliefs (Powerlessness, unworthyness,...)
I believe that emotions, beliefs and physical issues are just different vibrations of the same energy block, and it often makes sense to include all those aspects into the tapping sequence.
Therefore I emphazise with my clients the importants of being emotionally and cognitively, and physically, if possibly, specific to speed up the process:
Even though I am frustrated that I feel so powerless, and I feel this knot in my stomach
Even though it scares me that I am so full of fear
Even though I am sad that I feel so discouraged
Even though I am overwhelmed that I feel so unworthy...
By adding more specific feelings and physical sensations into the setup, we turbo charge it, make it very personal and easy to relate to, which often speeds up the healing process. It also allows my clients to feel understood and accepted with the complexity of their feelings and their current place in life.
Love
Ingrid
