Inspiration

This might help with fear…

Written by: Jessica Ortner

I created this meditation because frankly, I needed it! I woke up the morning after of the attacks on Paris and suddenly felt the weight of the news fall upon me. I lay in bed, feeling worried and heart broken.

And then it dawned on me; a terrorist’s goal is to create terror. I won’t be part of it. I won’t let them have that power over me.

From Paris to Lebanon, we’ve been hearing the stories of these tragedies. This probably won’t be the last time, but we have to make a decision around how we react.

For 5 years I looked out of my apartment window to see the new World Trade Center being built, and every day I had to make a choice. I could look out my window, and be reminded of the horror…

I could look out my window and feel worry and grief, or I could look out my window and remember the strength of the human spirit, the way people came together, and all the blessings I have in my life because of the liberties I have.

So as we now get bombarded by news of terrorist attacks or any tragedy, we have a choice to make. What will we focus on?

It’s natural to have moments of fear, but fear is a bad friend to have when it’s time to make important decisions. Let love be your driving force, not fear.

So I’ll continue to come back to this tapping meditation whenever I need to be reminded of that, and I hope you will too.

I rebel against terrorism by releasing my terror and feeling joy and gratitude for the life I have. Are you with me?

If so, I hope you use and share this tapping meditation.

    Thanks Jessica,
    What a wonderful Thanksgiving blessing to share with the community.

  3. Tova says:

    Thank you. So amazing and helpful.

    In your introductory talk you mentioned “terror from France to Lebanon”. I’d just like to add that it might be even more helpful to mention Israel also. After all, the Israelis, in their tiny middle eastern country, represent democracy, freedom, and light while they are situated right in the neighborhood from which the darkness – the hatred and terror – is originating. They are standing on the front line of terrorist attacks and are now dealing with them daily if not hourly. Most are not being reported in general media, the same media that is doing its best to demonize the victim instead. If we learn nothing else from history, it’s time we learn that as it goes with the nation of Israel – the Jewish people – so it goes with the rest of the civilized world.

    Thank you again, Jessica and Nick, for sharing this meditation and your most wonderful work with EFT. You ask that I share my experience. It brought me some much needed calm, empowerment and clarity. Thank you for giving me back my voice and for allowing me to share it here.

    Thank you for this wonderful meditation. As I was tapping and following your words it dawned on me that the “terrorists” we encounter in our minds daily l are as powerful as the real thing. It is a reminder of just how powerful we really can be by replacing the negative with positive.

  49. Klara Fuhren says:

    Thank you so much, Jessica.
    People around me are so helpless in their fear with all the Syrien and Afghan and african refugees.
    They get suspicious with the Paris horror and everyone thinks, that each one of them could be a terrorist.
    I had no fear, but people get in panic and now I realized that I also fear. Thank you so much for this tapping session, it made me aware how important it is not to let oneself be influenced by fear.
    Thank you thank you thank you, yes I have the right to be happy. I say no to terror. You are so right. I will recommend your tapping to my english-speaking friends.
    Lots of love, Jessica and Nick
    You are wonderful people in this difficult times. Klara from Bavaria/Germany
