Today I enjoyed one of the best birthday gifts EVER: a tapping sessions with Kate Winch around issues of abundance.
I’ve been a fan of her recordings and telecalls (there’s one on Saturday — today, obviously depending on when you’re reading this) at 10 am Pacific Time and I thoroughly encourage you to tune in.
Tapping (EFT –– Emotional Freedom Technique) is weirdly and strangely effective –– meridian points mixed with cognitive psychology –– and I’ve noticed how powerfully it can create real change for myself and others.
I’ve resonated with Kate’s approach and style and I LOVED our session today.
What came up for me is that underneath all the anxiety and worry about financial issues lies an intense vulnerability. IE, the worry might just be masking the deeper level of emotional vulnerability.
I was reminded that I often compare myself to Michele Pfeiffer in Ladyhawke –– obviously because we are both enigmatic beauties –– but also because there’s something about her being under a tragic curse that I relate to on a subconscious level. [Or at least used to; tapping works pretty quickly.]
[As an aside, for many years I taught Terrence McNalley yoga privately 1:1 three mornings a week in NYC and he was like a longed-for mentor and friend and everything inspirational to me. I saw the revival of his play Frankie & Johnny with Edie Falco –– who a few years before had done play readings in my living room –– and remembered how the part of Frankie was initially played by Kathy Bates (including the extended nude opening) in the Off-Broadway run. When Hollywood took over the reins, they cast Michelle Pfeiffer, who somehow, through no fault of her own, tried to pull off a line from that play that’s something like: “Every day I dream I’ll wake up pretty.” Well guess what, Michelle –– it happened for you!]
Anyway, my own tragic vulnerability was awakened today during my EFT session with Kate –– and again, I really think you should check out her website and offerings –– after a morning of 9 am Bikram, and then lots of scheduling and Kayaking and googling for my next weekend trip back to NYC.
I’m flying back to attend the wedding of my AWESOME friends Tamer and Katey –– although they actually technically got married already –– which should be particularly wonderful given that I more or less introduced them/was the catalyst for their relationship. They already have a GORGEOUS baby boy I saw this December and it will be fantastic to celebrate with them.
After endless internet searches, I did manage to find the perfect flight, even though it leaves from San Jose (one hour from San Francisco, versus the SFO airport which is only 25 minutes away). Nonetheless, the times are good for arrivals and departures and I also managed to settle on the wonderful friends I’m staying with + confirmed my hotel for the wedding night.
Watched a Marvel Comics film I’d never seen before from my favorite comic book Dr. Strange, and now about to re-watch THOR to see Hemsworth again –– although frankly, I’ve got to get my hands on a copy of his Australian soap opera work to see him in a less god-like light.
Anyway, bolstered by all that + an art walk with Val, Clark, Valerie 2, and Jonah + Susan and Belle, seems like quite a full day for this Enigmatic (although non-cursed) Beauty.
Amen.
