In this module, you will talk to your body as if you were talking to a neglected child. This would be like talking to your inner child. You will give that child love, care and a voice, making the child feel safe and cared for. This analogy will work because the seeds of lifelong problems are often sown during our childhood.
It will also work if you look at the body-mind connection as a child-parent relation. We use our minds to make decisions what about what to feed our body, how to take care of it, how much exercise to give it and pretty much everything else. Mind being the parent and body being the child here.
Through this tapping we are going to acknowledge the body as an equal and having a voice. We will end the tapping with gratitude and promises.
