Tapping Script for Healing Painful Feelings and Beliefs About Aging
The first time I freaked out about aging was on my 25th birthday. I remember thinking, "Oh my God, I'm a quarter of a century old! I'm running out of time!"
Well into my 50s now, that sounds a bit silly, but at the time, the feelings were very real. If only I had had tapping back then!
Most people I know struggle with the changes that aging brings. And if they're too young to experience wrinkles, gray hair, stiff joints, memory issues, and sagging body parts, they worry about these things happening to them down the line.
I've been meaning to write a tapping script for releasing painful feelings and beliefs for quite awhile. It's been on the back burner for months, quietly simmering away.
When a client recently came in wanting to work on her painful emotions and beliefs about aging, I knew the time had come to attend to this, so I finally sat down and wrote this script.
HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
As with all of my tapping scripts, these statements can be used as is, or modified in any way that makes them resonate more fully with your experience.
Some of them will fit for you, and some will not. Just use the ones that fit your experience and have an emotional charge.
You may notice that when you start tapping on these statements, thoughts and feelings will arise that you can then turn into new tapping statements, which will then give rise to still more thoughts and feelings, which you can use to create additional tapping statements, and so on.
I call this following the thread, and it’s a very efficient way to heal and release a lot of painful feelings in a short amount of time.
PLEASE NOTE
When doing EFT on your own, if you aren't able to completely heal the issue you're working on, so that when you think about it, it no longer causes any stress, emotional pain, anger, or fear, I recommend working with a professional EFT practitioner.
