Just a Rock

I was talking with a friend recently about the fact that every single awful thing that ever happens to a person inevitably contributes to their growth as a person.  We were discussing the old adage:  That which does not kill me makes me stronger and I came up with my own new adage:

If a diamond wasn’t abused, it would just be a rock.  Kiya Immergluck

In a couple of weeks, I will be doing a fundraiser walk for Breast Cancer research.  I am a 15 year survivor who is eternally grateful that I have survived and thrived after that awful experience.  I often think how much easier my experience might have been if I knew back then about tapping techniques.

Believe me, I had plenty of other difficult experiences in my life that helped to sharpen the edges of my “diamond-in-the-rough” self, but cancer was probably the deepest facet of all.  I wouldn’t wish the experience on anyone (including myself), but the fact remains that I grew and matured as a direct result of that life-and-death chapter of my life.

Here are some of the ways I would have used tapping to ease the stress of that experience:

1. I would have tapped as soon as I found a lump in my breast:  Even though I have this lump in my breast…
2. When the doctor told me that the lump had to be removed surgically, I could have tapped again.
3. When the doctor announced that it was cancer, I could have eased my terror by tapping.
4. I might have been able to stop or slow down the negative effects of chemo by tapping.
5. I could have tapped to get past any fears that I was going to die from this cancer.

So, all you great diamonds out there, know that hard things often happen in life and that tapping can ease the pain even while you are becoming a lovelier and lovelier diamond.
