Being Present - Being Here with EFT

By Annabel Fisher


Being present, in the moment is how we experience and live life to its fullest. I'm of sure that. You know that.

But do you ever feel just like you're juggling 15 balls at once? It's hard to be "present" to be "here" when there's so much internal 'stuff ' going on; such a long 'to do ' list, such a lot of things needing your attention.

Last week, I was speaking to my EFT mate, Tami Close, about being present and what that suggests. She reminded me that when youngsters are in school and the attendance register is read, they are asked to call out, "Here!" That got me thinking about what it implies to be 'here ' and what we miss when we aren't entirely 'here ' in a given moment.

There has been a lot going on for me recently: organising and hosting the EFT Gathering in Vancouver, holding my AAMET workshops , and preparing for Sharon King's Matrix & Birth Reimprinting workshops in a few weeks. Though I have been juggling those balls, when it's time to work with my clients, I am fully 'here ' and for each 90 minute session, I'm present and attached to them. The rest goes over 'there'.

With the vacation approaching, and all the balls that must be juggled, I assumed the following tapping would be useful.

Although I can not concentrate on one task, I accept myself all the time

Even though there are too many balls to juggle and I'm uncertain about what to do first, I do my best and I accept myself

Even though it's tough to be entirely present in any moment, I am willing to be as present as I am able to be and maybe that's enough

Top of head: I'm not completely 'here '

Eyebrow: there is such a lot to think about

Side of eye: so much to achieve

Under eye: I feel out of whack

Under nose: I am not present

Chin: I'm wondering what it would probably take to be in balance

Collarbone: I am wondering what it would probably take to be there just for a second.

Under arm: I deserve to experience that sensation.

Liver: I am ready to find it incredibly straightforward to be 'here '

Wrists: and to watch what that's like, even for a second.

Now shut your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath. You could need to repeat this process or feel free to change the wording so it relates to how you really feel. The phrases you use are just a method of outwardly expressing how you are feeling. You don't need to be imaginative or get hung up on finding the "perfect" wording "just state what's concerning you.

The art of juggling balls is not just the ability to keep them up in the air, but to give each landing ball your touch and acknowledgement of its "being present "being here" right in easy reach whether that be for 90 minutes or 9!
