Have you looked Resistance in the eye? If you live on the earth, in a human body, you surely have.
Resistance poses in every possible disguise. It looks like exhaustion, sleepiness, illness, distraction, new interests, lost interest and procrastination. Resistance is your major block between where you are and where you want to be.
THE authoritative resource on the nature of Resistance and how to overcome it, is The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield.
This article takes three of Pressfield’s gems, followed by my own questions to help you dissect your own Resistance. Then you can use what you learn to transform your Resistance with EFT tapping.
Your answers can become your tapping script with Emotional Freedom Tapping. At each tapping point, say one of your answers. Here’s more info about tapping technique tips.
Pressfield: Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.
You’ve had glimpses of our unlived life. These glimpses come when least expected. When tragedy or illness strikes. When you’re alone – late at night or in nature.
At these poignant times, we see who we could be if we followed our dreams.
Use these questions to learn more about the role Resistance plays in your life.
If you lived your unlived life, what would you have to give up?
It wouldn’t be safe to live your unlived life because… (finish that statement)
Who wouldn’t like it
Would you know yourself if you lived the life you’re not living?
By tapping on the meridian points while answering the questions, You close the gap between your life and your unlived life.
Pressfield Again: Look in your own heart. Unless I’m crazy, right now a still small voice is piping up, telling you as it has ten thousand times, the calling that is yours and yours alone.
Sit down, tune inside and pose these questions.
What’s in my heart?
When I listen, what do I hear from my still small voice?
What calling have I heard ten thousand times?
Use your answers as your EFT script.
From Pressfield: Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. Resistance is the enemy within.
Here are some questions to help you learn more about your internal enemy.
What enemy arises from within you?
How do you self-generate your Resistance?
How do you tell yourself that the enemy is outside of you?
How do you perpetuate your Resistance?
Let your answers be your tapping script. Doing that will help you live your unlived life. This practice can align your inner enemy with your dreams – and make them possible. With Emotional Tapping, you can transform your Resistance and you life.
