Tapping into our inner powerpar Aline Tardif, PCC
Until recently, we were living in a society that was very skeptical about the power of the inner world. But we have come to recognize that what happens on the outside is closely related to what happens on the inside.
“We often underestimate the power of our "internal world" because it is intangible, however, the results of our inner game are tangible in that they create in our physical world and they also attribute to how we feel about ourselves. Remember that most success first happens on the inside AND is then produced in the outside world. »1
Most of us now know the incredible power of the mind. It is important for our well-being to shift our mind’s energy toward positive thoughts and eliminate energy-draining and debilitating negative thoughts. On our way to success, a positive attitude is crucial.
But, if we think positively, is it enough to change our life? The problem with positive thinking is that we often forget that our mind is subdivided in two interdependent parts: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.
The conscious mind is the creative mind that is connected to our personal identity and our spiritual self. It is assigned to handle the task of total data collection, analysis, comprehension and understanding, decision making, future projection and all sensory feedback functions.
The subconscious mind is assigned to handle all of the automatic tasks of the body, and, as well, to store every event, experience, impression, feeling, and data that has been brought to it through the body via the conscious mind. Our Inside world is the domain of our subconscious mind. On a daily basis, the subconscious mind controls our biology in a proportion of 95 to 98%.
According to what Bruce Lipton2 explained in an interview prior to the Tapping World Summet 2011, our subconscious mind is like a tape recorder. It stores our experiences and plays them back.
It is always at play but it isn't always playing positively for us. That data processor is one million times more powerful than our conscious mind. Then, while our conscious mind has all these wonderful thoughts, that has a very small impact if our subconscious mind is not attuned to it.
The subconscious is just a tape recorder. It is not good or bad. What can be good or bad are the programs that are recorded on the tapes.
For example, we can hold the thought that we want to be successful and at the same time some tapes of fear and failures are playing in the background. Let’s do some math! 5% / 95%... Which part will control the scenario?
We easily understand that both, the conscious and the unconscious mind, need to work harmoniously otherwise a self-sabotaging process is at play.
We all have infinite untapped potential that is blocked by our subconscious conditioning. We can work and struggle for years and years with limited success when some unconscious programs are working against us. That can cause us to feel tremendous emotional stress.
How do we free ourselves from the stress that undermines our best conscious efforts? Different tools have been developed but one of the most interesting is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a form of meridian tapping. It is a surprisingly simple and effective method that combines ancient acupressure with modern psychology.
That amazing resource clears emotional conflicts out of our mind by tapping with the fingertips on the acupuncture points while tuning into a problem that bothers us. It can be done either alone or under supervision. It may seem awkward at first, but it can be easily mastered by most people in a short period of time.
It is gentle, easy to learn and usually long lasting in its effects and it can be used virtually alone, anywhere, at any time!
