Oh my, I found her monologue a little irritating - her voice and choice of words, really made me feel antsy, my body was going a little berserk - is that the desired outcome?
Her voice is annoying, I get that, but I posted it because it's the technique that is relevant and she knows what she's doing with it. It would take me ages to write that process up.

I might have it completely wrong but I always thought that you tap in when you need to embody knowledge that is going to nourish you. Not to rework and tap angst back into your body.
Tapping on the negative stuff dissolves the charge on the emotion- it literally discharges all the angst and blah caught in it so that in the end, there's simply a zero rating on the issue. It's the thing of recognising that we ARE pissed, or sad, or frustrated or whatever, so that it can be released, which the tapping does incredibly fast. I can reduce to zero my irritations so that they simply aren't present in my body. I'm not into stuff that doesn't recognise and support the
FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!! element that might actually be what's real and present for me.
heh heh heh. But then, that's just me, and we all know I'm
not really right in the head.

I am more inclined to do a personal inventory - to just use my voice to speak out and release shit when it starts to give me a charge - talk to it, and right now I am feeling prickly as all hell and I have a ache between my shoulder blades and I am thinking how can this possibly be healing? But my mind is switching now and I think I am behaving like a bit of jerk at the moment but that is because I am dumping these judgements -- and the more I start thinking where my reaction is coming from, I start realising as a write here that I am really responding to my own frustrations of holding onto some sour-ish energies that obviously need releasing. And I have not had a decent dump of late to get rid of them.
Her monologue - still in my mind a wall of words that I switch off from - is perhaps in some mysterious form, a gift.

no wuckers.

(Yes, I had to Google what 'no wuckers' meant. )
I think tapping can be quite healing, and I should like to try it again. I only tried it once. I had just returned to my office after finding out I had a major project to complete on my own, in far less time than was originally allocated, because two of my co-workers didn’t feel like doing it as a team. My boss walked in and asked what I was doing. I told him I was tapping. He suggested I try a different approach to whatever I was trying to accomplish, because ‘tapping’ creeped him out.
That’s when the flock of cranes mysteriously started expanding in my office.
Here’s the next batch, photographed in my house, just before they make their way to join the flock in my office:

I was also trying to figure out what the tapping was doing. I didn't try it, but I imagined a bit that if I did so it would connect me better to my body. I found the video interesting, and somehow branched out to some other tapping things, ending up here today:
I got to a fascinating part around 24 minutes, where he had described how the cell is a bunch of machinery, and got to the point that the brain isn't the DNA (which he calls its gonads), rather signals come through its membrane (skin). He connected that to the skin on our bodies, and mentioned that only one other part of the body gets made during development by the same mechanism: the brain, with all its skin-like folds. I then had this image of myself as a being who had this wonderful organ for being extremely sensitive to the environment around me so that I could take signals from it and embody it. This gave me new respect for sensitivity, and a sense of purpose: to pick up on faint signals around me and give them a home to thrive.
prairie, I found that fascinating (although I need to set aside time when my brain can absorb at the same time I have uninterrupted internet access) and your observations helped me quite a bit. As the operator of a body that seems proactive regarding things as large as earthquakes and as close as someone about to change moods, the idea of picking up on faint signals that are supportive is sooooo comforting. Thank you.
I am reminded that there are things I wish to transform in my life for the sake of my daughters, so that I can be a better platform for supporting their own wholeness while I learn to live into mine. This site is a great resource for exploring the virus in us from our childhood.
This morning I woke up processing some distressing stuff that I'm releasing, and I got the message from a dream in which someone I love was holding me with utter acceptance
in the dream I said to them "something bad happened to me a long time ago and now I'm afraid all the time"
when I repeated it to my Self when I woke up, immediately the sensations of distress and anxiety melted away and I got a deep peace in my belly that has flooded through the rest of my body
so I'm allowing it to simply rise up and out of me, the fear, and give space for what wants to be in the space now, now that I'm not little anymore.
Waking up from a dream in which I was being held with such love and acceptance was a gorgeous way to wake up.

My processing takes a long time (at this point in space/time), and I still don't have the words for the thoughtforms *sigh*
Simply reading about this overlaid a sense of peace on me
