For some, the idea that our bodies are in constant communication with us about our emotional health, and thus can tell us about any misalignment in our life, is foreign.
The nagging headache that always happens on Monday morning. That rash that only appears as you are getting ready to visit your family. The food allergy that seems to disappear all together when you are on vacation. All these are indicators of a struggle with your inner knowing and your “should’s, have-to’s, and must’s”.
Here are some the ways I’ve seen these irritations show up in different areas of my clients’ lives.

Physical pain… Well, you get the picture. There aren’t many differences between subtle indicators of one area and another. A pain that shows up to warn you that you are really driving yourself too hard is very much the same as the depression you feel in your gut when you think about going to the office on Monday morning. The insomnia that you experience when you are having major disagreements with your spouse is very much like the wine you crave when you get the prodding to follow your bliss and ignore it.
When your body is tossing subtle indicators, pay attention! When it’s telling you that you are off-track, listen and act. Tapping serves as a beautiful tool that will help you with the struggle, with the challenges, and with the residue of not listening earlier to those cues.
Here’s an exercise to get you started and paying attention. First, write down all your aches and pains. Next tap while asking your body what it wants you to know about the emotional contributing factors. Thank it for giving you the opportunity to make changes before you have to end up calling someone like me. Lastly, tap on the fear and resistance to moving forward!
