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.
