Life's a Journey: EFT Smooths the Way

Making Contact

by Deborah Donndelinger, EFT-ADV

Issue 4, April 15, 2007

Hello friends,

For me, human touch is one of the most nurturing forms of support I can get. Touch can be as simple as holding hands, leaning against another person, a hand on the shoulder. A brief contact can helps me connect to myself, my body, and others. A longer touch rejuvenates me to my very soul. When I don’t get enough nurturing touch, I am more likely to slip into a state of overwhelm, especially as a mother and as someone who is in a healing profession. Sometimes it feels hard to get enough touch … let’s tap on this and see where we end up. If you already get enough nurturing touch in your life, just jump ahead and do the affirmative tapping at the end.

Enjoy.

Set-Up Phrase:

Even though I don’t have enough nurturing touch in my life, and I really need it, I love myself and accept myself as I am.

Even though I crave touch, and I don’t get enough touch, I am open to the possibility of having an abundance of loving touch in my life.

Even though touch is so important to me, and I never knew it, I forgive myself for not knowing it and accept myself deeply.
