I am ~ Lahn Jung JuLes

This guest post is by my gentle and kind friend Lahn. She is multi talented as you'll soon see for your self. Her diverse and amazing work can be seen at her website http://www.sinus-allergy-care.com

Bio ~ Lahn Jung JuLes graduated with honors from Hypnosis Motivation Institute. In addition to being a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, she is a Certified Practitioner of Master Guided Imagery, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Timeline Therapy. She integrates these modalities to create lasting, positive, and effective changes in her clients. Lahn enhances her approach to hypnotherapy with knowledge and skills gained from a diverse personal and professional background. She is bilingual and bicultural Korean-American. Lahn has worked as a graphic artist, minister, translator, and teacher.

In her words ~ "It took a while but I've learned to acknowledge and embrace all emotions. I no longer feel the need to judge different flavors of emotion as bad or good, negative or positive. I am less compelled to deny or resist what feels unpleasant or uncomfortable. They are fleeting inner states. To quote Rainer Rilke, "Let everything happen to you, beauty and terror, no feeling is final." There is a great freedom in that. When I allow my emotions to come and go with equanimity, I am able to free myself (as much as possible) from the oft-distorted subjective filter through which I process my experiences. And out of that openness and acceptance of 'what is', my authentic communication and connection with others take place.

Visual art is one of my most potent, efficacious means to experience, express, and ultimately release my emotions. My artwork integrated with words and music in this video follows that path of self awareness and healing."

Allow your self to feel whatever it is you feel. Judging, criticising, stuffing, avoiding stops the flow and energy becomes stuck. Try this EFT script for allowing your feelings.

The power of attention and EFT

Put your attention on anything that bothers you and tap. The very act of paying attention and noticing what happens will move the energy. Keep putting your attention on whatever it is and say "I am paying attention to ..." on all the points and watch what happens. When we simply pay attention and follow what our energy and physiology do, great things can happen. Many people tap with the intention of getting rid of something, or 'tapping it away' which very often does not work and leads to great frustration and a sense of being stuck. Tapping diagram.

EFT tapping script for pain

You can use this script for emotional or physical pain. Make sure to customise it and use words that have meaning for you. This really helps you tune in to how YOU feel. Listen and tap along, find the EFT shortcut tapping diagram here. Tapping continuously on the karate chop or rubbing the sore spot, state, out loud:

Even though I have this pain, I accept it with all my heart

Even though I want to avoid this pain and I do all sorts of things to distract myself from feeling it, I love and accept myself anyway

Even though this pain is painful, I completely accept how I feel

TH This pain
EB It's painful
SE It's there
UE And that's okay
UN No, it's not
UC It's there whether I like it or not
CB I'm paying attention
UA To the pain

TH It's changing
EB It feels softer
SE It's moving
UE That's interesting
UN I'll watch where it goes and what it does
UC I'm paying attention to this pain
CB And it feels okay to do that
UA I'm observing this pain

TH This pain still feels hard
EB That's okay
SE I'm still watching and listening for what it wants to do next
UE This ... pain
UN It feels ...
UC I'm still observing this pain
CB And whatever it is doing
UA I'm still listening ...

TH It feels like I have to resist this pain
EB Because ...
SE I accept how I feel about that
UE I accept how I feel about this pain
UN I feel the way I feel
UC I want to avoid feeling all of this pain
CB Maybe I can hear some of what it wants to say
UA And feel some of what this pain feels like, just a small bit ...

Keep tapping until you feel a shift and relief. Pay attention to what comes up as you tap.
