Decades ago, Aunty took tap dance lessons from Jack Cione with pal Cookie and Gayln. It was fun making feet noise in time with other feet in the room, but it wasn’t a life passion for any of us.
During a tidying session (still to come: Aunty’s review of Marie Kondo’s Life Changing Magic of Tidying), Aunty found 2 thick print outs of Jack Cione’s dance steps and songs. These did bring a sense of joy because of the memories – though not sure whether to toss or keep, yet.
Then, serendipitously (fortunate chance), an email link about tapping for health came into Aunty’s email box this morning. It was like a sign to pay attention, doodoodoodoo doodoodoo (theme from Twilight Zone).
Tapping is part of the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) that Aunty had heard about and was curious as to its success and results. Instead of tapping with clinking shoes, one taps gently on specific points on the body with fingertips. It seemed like a God/Universe given gift, so Aunty opened up the link and tried it.
Just like Mikey in the Life Cereal commercial (if you are old enough to remember), Aunty liked it! Ups to you if you want to try it – this first link explains the different point to tap: http://thetappingsolution.com/2016tws/how-to-tap-video.html
And this one will guide you through a 20 minute exercise to tap away stress/fears and begin a great day: http://www.thetappingsolution.com/2016event/R00Ms/D1-MR-3654.php [Update: this was only available for 24 hours – so solly. The Tapping World Summit event is going on for the next 10 (and counting down) days and events can be listened to for free during a 24 hour period, daily. So, once one presentation is up, it then goes away and the next day’s event is up, then away – UNLESS one buys the packages. Aunty is not planning to buy the packages but perhaps will continue tapping and adjusting the affirmations/confirmations/etc. specific to her own situations.]
[Further update: Although the packages are available for purchase for those who want permanent access to the Tapping World Summit 2016, Aunty feels that these are good folks because of the limited sharing of some rather excellent material – limited because of the 24 hour FREE online access for each day’s events. Here is a list of the upcoming topics and speakers: http://thetappingsolution.com/2016tws/schedule.html which included Jack Canfield (pau already, solly), but some rather excellent subjects such as healing relationships with mother on March 1, Tapping for self confidence on February 29, Personal peace procedure on March 3, etc. Aunty plans to “attend” some of those freebies and has to write the days down on her calendar in order not to miss them. Here is the link to access each live daily (available for 24 hours) event: http://www.thetappingsolution.com/2016event/live.php – hope this helps everyone!]
It is quite pleasant, something that is free to do, and in line with socks being magic in Aunty’s quest for excellent health and well being. There are other links to different tapping modes but for now Aunty felt very good about this starter tapping exercise and is now motivated to gather all the books in the house in one big pile and sort with Marie Kondo’s criteria of joy. Aunty’s fear of having a clutter-free house is soon to be conquered.
Happy feet, tapping fingers, clean house. Sounds quite wonderful, doesn’t it?
I can just imagine what a great dancer you were/are, Auntie! My granddaughter takes tap/ballet, but tap has always been her favorite. She even brought her tap shoes to Hawaii to perform for us.
LOL, I wasn’t very good. Lawdy Miss Claudy was just about our speed and our taps were not really in sync and we sounded like a herd of cattle sometimes.
So cute, your granddaughter. I hope you or your daughter are filming her as she progresses.
