emotional pain is difficult to see past. We can't pretend it's not there as it will only surface in some uncomfortable way. We can't live for extended periods of time in it as it will eventually manifest enough dis-ease to create disease. There are thoughts that can be thought.

We can remember that thought is controllable. We can accept the situation or the moment, the 'what is' and decide to not spend another dime of time on it. We can practice gratitude in those moments and throughout to shift our perception. We can learn to consciously view time as the only real currency we own. We can then appreciate how precious it is, thereby making the present too valuable to spend in emotional pain.

Dare to be naïve.

Using the same premise and some of the points of acupressure, tapping is purported to help many with various issues from emotional trauma to physical ailments (like many, I'm a believer one leads to the other). A link to the founder, Gary Craig, explaining the premise and procedure:

ones: the family we meet and make in addition to or as opposed to, in some cases, our blood family. The relationship dynamics are usually better (you chose each other, after all) and the effort, in most cases, is purer. Yet, the possibility for the same issues to occur as in blood family are just that, the same. It seems part of our learning process and dynamic to lay to rest conflict within the blood family. To do so with as much care as we use with our chosen family is more of a challenge, most times. Through understanding, through the proverbial 'walk in someone else's shoes', through forgiving, we can give ourselves and others the opportunity to see and put aside conflict. The responsibility lies with each of us to take the opportunity but we 'do good' when we understand, a first step to releasing, each other's conflict.

"Fear is the darkroom where negatives are developed." This quote is attributed to an anonymous source. The first time I heard it, though, was on Saturday Night Live in a Stuart Smalley (aka Al Franken) skit. He was poignant and it was a moment that SNL would often strike: bittersweet honesty. Cannot find the video snippet but here is Al Franken as Stuart Smalley. FateTelling is launching Mirth Monday! :-)
