One of the most important elements of Tapping is its ability to create the space to see and honor one’s pain.
It’s not about ignoring it or just trying to think positively, but about being with your feelings and validating your own experience. That is an essential part of healing, and one of the reasons why Tapping works so well.
As the nation mourns the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, we are beginning to truly witness the pain in this country. For some of us, it’s a pain that’s been part of our daily reality, and for others, we are only just becoming aware of its depth.
True healing comes when we can stop and acknowledge this pain; when we don’t try to reason our way out of it or dismiss it, but accept it and thus begin the healing journey.
Here at The Tapping Solution, we are committed to listening and learning more about the struggles being faced within the black community and other communities whose voices haven’t been heard.
We are committed to creating a safe space where everyone feels loved and accepted as they continue their own journey of self-love and self-acceptance.
To that end, I want to introduce a new resource created with our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color community in mind, by reintroducing one of our Tapping World Summit presenters, Dr. Damon Silas.
Here is a special note from Dr. Silas, and below it, I’m also sharing resources that we can all benefit from.
“Hi, I’m Dr. Damon Silas, a psychologist who specializes in anxiety and trauma. I am also a black man in mourning.
During this time especially, it can feel impossible to relax. I get it.
That’s why I felt called to create a Tapping meditation for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color to experience some ease from the anxiety (alongside many other emotions) that comes from racial injustices – injustices that we are witnessing and experiencing across this country and within our own community.
The pain we are feeling is justified, and our bodies still need a break. Whether you are having trouble sleeping, experiencing headaches, stomachaches, or a racing heart, we need to take care of ourselves so that we can connect to our own power.
You can find this free Tapping Meditation in the Crisis Support section of The Tapping Solution App or simply type Racial Anxiety Relief
As I was recording this, I had to pause as I almost began to cry. I was reminded again of the power of acknowledging your feelings and Tapping. Sending Peace, Love, and Light to you all.”
We know many members of our community, regardless of race, color, or creed, are struggling to navigate this difficult time. Here are some additional Tapping Meditations that you can find in the Tapping Solution App. These resources are provided at no cost. I encourage you to share all these resources with anyone in your own community who can benefit.
EFT-Finding Ease During Troubled Times
Jessica Ortner writes:
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the uncertainty of what’s to come? Most of us are and it’s just human nature.
Uncertainty + Lack of control = Stress!
Today we’ll use EFT Tapping to release anxiety and find more ease. Let’s set ourselves up to feel grounded and resilient as we face a new week.

Coronavirus Truth & Fiction Q & A Special-Gregg Braden
Gregg Braden follows up on his excellent video on coronavirus from a few days ago. This special includes Truth and Fiction about coronavirus.
Your Happy Immune System
As with the last couple of posts, I am referencing a practitioner that references The Immune System and healing-critical in these times of coronavirus. Jeffrey Gignac is a recognized pioneer in the field of rewiring the brain. In this webinar, he talks about the immune system from an emotional, nutritional and energetic viewpoint.
What I found intriguing was his 2 favorite, “pathogen thumping” supplements. You won’t believe what he has to say about Ultimate Monolaurin; and his free gift :
Immunity Plus+ carries with it a bio-field of energy that includes the frequencies of:
•Pure Frankincense Essential Oil
•Pure Rose Essential Oil
•Orange Essential Oil
•Lavender Essential Oil
•40KHz boost
•Iodine
•Magnesium
•Vitamin D3
•Zinc
•Nitric oxide
•EMF Detox
•Health Frequencies
•Prosperity Frequencies
This webinar is packed with vital information that will help any and all who utilize it. Please share with as many as you can. Enjoy.
Did Sylvia Browne Predict Coronavirus?
In tune with what was posted yesterday, PMH Atwater’s E-Newsletter talks about special news on two fronts. An excerpt from that newsletter speaks about the coronavirus, Sylvia Browne possibly predicting the coronavirus and other interesting information.
Here is an excerpt from that newsletter:
| SPECIAL NEWS ON TWO FRONTS First……..The way we must live today seems akin to the way we lived during WWII. Those memories, those fears, that everyday-in your lap reality of washing then flattening every empty can so we would have enough metal to build what was needed; rolling up bandages, making Q-Tips for the soldiers; everyone’s Victory Garden so we could all eat: Air-Raid drills, rationing. . . . never much yet always just enough. We helped each other, and we’re doing it again now. Coronavirus-19 is New. Because it is new, no one really knows how to handle it. Already there is a mutation running around, as well as the original. More challenges. |
| Prediction Specifics Back in 1981, Sylvia Browne (a famous psychic) wrote a book called END OF DAYS. In that book she predicted: “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes, and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.” WHY IS THIS A BIG DEAL? It has to do with RNA sequencing, i.e. genetics. Seasonal flu is an “all human virus.” The DNA/RNA chains that make up the virus are recognized by the human immune system. This means that your body has some immunity to it before it comes around each year – you get immunity two ways: through exposure to a virus, or by getting a flu shot. Novel viruses come from animals. The WHO tracks novel viruses in animals (sometimes for years watching for mutations). Usually, these viruses only transfer from animal to animal (pigs in the case of H1N1) (birds in the case of the Spanish flu). But once, one of these animal viruses mutates, and starts to transfer from animals to humans – then it’s a problem. Why? Because we have no natural or acquired immunity. The RNA sequencing of the genes inside the virus isn’t human, and the human immune system doesn’t recognize it, so, we can’t fight it off. Now. . . sometimes, the mutation only allows transfer from animal to human, for years it’s only transmission is from an infected animal to a human before it finally mutates so that it can now transfer human to human. Once that happens, we have a new contagion phase. And depending on the fashion of this new mutation, that’s what decides how contagious, or how deadly it’s gonna be. H1N1 was deadly – but it did not mutate in a way that was as deadly as the Spanish flu. It’s RNA was slower to mutate and it attacked its host differently, too. Fast forward. Now, here comes this Coronavirus. It existed in animals only, for nobody knows how long. But one day, at an animal market in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, it mutated and made the jump from animal to people. At first, only animals could give it to a person. But here is the scary part. In just TWO WEEKS it mutated again and gained the ability to jump from human to human. Scientists call this quick ability, “slippery.” This Coronavirus, not being in any form a “human” virus (whereas we would all have some natural or acquired immunity), took off like a rocket. And this was because humans have no known immunity. . . doctors have no known medicines for it. And it just so happens that this particular mutated animal virus, changed itself in such a way that it causes great damage to human lungs. That’s why Coronavirus is different from seasonal flu, or H1N1, or any other type of influenza. This one is slippery AF. And it’s a lung eater. And, it’s already mutated AGAIN, so that we now have two strains to deal with, strain S and strain L, which makes it twice as hard to develop a vaccine. We really have no tools in our shed with this. History has shown that fast and immediate closings of public places has helped in past pandemics. Philadelphia and Baltimore were reluctant to close events in 1918, and they were the hardest hit in the U.S. during the Spanish Flu. Factoid: Henry VIII stayed in his room and allowed no one near him, ‘til the Black Plague passed. (Honestly, I understand him so much better now.) Just like us, he had no tools in this shed, except social isolation. And let me end by saying, if it mutates again (and it will, who’s to say what it will do next. Be smart folks.

Metaphysics and Coronavirus
In the unlikely event that you do not know who Gregg Braden is, here is a description directly from his website:
“Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer and internationally renowned as a pioneer bridging science, spirituality, and human potential.
From 1979 to 1990 Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies and in 1991 he became the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems. He continues problem-solving today as he merges modern science and the wisdom of our past to reveal real-world solutions to the issues that challenge our lives. His research has led to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages. “
Gregg has a great video on YouTube that explains the Coronavirus in easy to understand terms:

Mercury Retrogrades February 17 – March 10
Reprinted from Conscious Calendars
It’s a time of Big Internal Changes
Mercury retrograde is a time to RE-assess, re-view and re-form how we communicate. You can re-connect and change old stories you might have that you did not realize were holding you back. It’s a great time to change how you communicate and connect with your self! I’ve shared some great ways to help this shift below (and more in the extended Astro Forecast).
We get to RE-new how we connect with our self for the next three weeks. It’s almost another little New Year RE-set for health and well being!
Here’s why:
Mercury began retrograding today in Aquarius ~ which is a sign of communication, revolution and of breath. (In the Vedic system, Mercury is in Aquarius!)
Notice what patterns around communication you bump into over the next few weeks – that is your personal theme – it’s where you can shift from an old way of doing things. Just keep committing what you want to shift and it will happen. Be gentle with yourself and these changes will happen easier.
It is a time to review old patterns of how you connect with yourself and what feels good for body and mind. This includes noticing when you feel disconnected or when you might judge yourself so you can gently return to self. It’s a powerful time to listen to yourself and learn how to regulate or check-in with yourself. Listening and checking in with yourself will help you be creative in how you respond and re-center yourself. You can improve in work and personal relationships when you add listening in new ways. There’s a lot of room for significant improvement during this Mercury retrograde thank goodness!
Vedic Astrology interprets Mercury retrogrades differently. Mercury is the planet of communication, the nervous system and the lungs in Ayurveda. This retrograde helps you change your communication style and connect with new stories about your past. It’s time to change how you connect with yourself and how you express yourself.
It’s Time for New Routines
Since this Mercury retrograde is so strongly tied to helping our nervous systems (it’s one of our communication highways in the body) through our breath, any breath practice first thing in the morning is going to help you immensely. It will help you connect with your self – in the moment. And this will ripple into your life.
You can also use a breath practice at other times of the day for your re-set; at the end of the work day or before bed.
Breath Practice examples:
- Going for a walk in the woods or a place filled with green plants.
- Adding a small sprint to your walk will help expand those beautiful lungs of yours and your heart-rate variability which is a true marker of heart health.
- Swimming laps is one of the best ways to regulate the breath and help your nervous system find a calm in the middle of activity. Mercury is also associated with the lungs in Vedic Astrology or Jyotisha.
Powerful Practice in the Extended Astro Forecast
I shared with all of the Conscious Calendars Annual subscribers a sweet, simple and powerful re-set practice. I spent time at the end of the Mercury Retrograde video (one of four videos for February) in the extended Astro Forecast and included the steps in the Mercury PDF (one of four PDFs). Each Forecast segment shares astro insights, themes and often a health tip associated with each event – Full moon, New moon, Mercury retrograde and February Overview.
It’s time to do things differently.
It’s a perfect time to shift your morning routine or your work-out or health routine.
Look for one thing to change in your routine. Change is good during Mercury retrogrades.
Especially changes that help you get some quiet time or that help you connect with others who are making similar changes. Connect with others in new ways! Change things up.
It is almost like we are getting a new little re-set early in the year. Can you feel the desire to really go back and do something right or to re-check with an old friend or relationship?
There are so many ways you can find re-newal. Listen in to your heart, you know what you want to shift. Start with easy, small things in your routine, and see what else you are inspired to change!
What in your daily routine could you shift that will help you connect with your breath and connect with yourself? This will give you rewards in both your health and vitality and in your communication with others. When you are connected with yourself, you can communicate clearly, honestly and genuinely. And all of us win when we communicate honestly ~ especially heart to heart.
Even at work, you can find ways that your daily routine will help you speak with co-workers differently because you might not be as stressed because you added a 5 minute meditation, or a one minute run, or a walk around the block or time in a green, luscious park near your home or work.
Mercury Retrograde connects with this Venus nicely
This weaves perfectly together with Mercury retrograde in February and March with a theme of communicating with yourself in new ways.
It’s time to re-connect with yourself in EASY daily routines that connect you with your breath and an ability to shift and re-set if you need to. When you listen to yourself ~ you can creatively respond to what you need in the moment.
Venus

Venus brings HUGE support to many for long periods of time in 2020. It’s what I am calling the Golden Zone this year!
Not every year has a Golden Zone, but 2020 has some incredible windows which will catapult certain ascendants (and those with certain karmic cycles) to fame, creating love centered communities, wealth for some, families for others, longer travel for others (where you might live in a local home for a period of time instead of a hotel or hostel), and deep healing and release for others.
Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn
Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn
This is a great article about Mars and the effect that it has on your zodiac sign. This is reproduced from Forever Conscious.
On February 13-14th, Mars aligns with the Galactic Center, a supercharged, potent spot in the cosmos. The Galactic Center sits at around 27 degrees of Sagittarius and as Mars crosses this point, it undergoes an upgrade of its energy.
With this upgrade, Mars is vibing high and is preparing to leave Sagittarius, with all this new knowledge and wisdom, for the sign of Capricorn where it will remain until March 30.
Mars has not been in Capricorn since March 2018, but as it enters this earth sign in 2020, it will be joining a slew of heavyweight planets including Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.
Mars combining with these heavyweight planets is going to amplify the energy of this earth sign and help to bring about the high vibrational shifts that are playing out all through the year.
As Mars, fresh off the Galactic Center moves into this busy zodiac of the sky, we may feel a need to look at how we are using our energy, the motivations behind our goals, and what fears may be holding us back or driving our decisions.
As Mars meets both Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto at various points through its journey in Capricorn, it is also going to elevate and energize their vibrations, strengthening their message.
You can read more about the significance of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn and the message they are sharing here.
Mars in Capricorn is a very ambitious placement, but also a methodical one too.
We may feel ourselves needing to slow down in order to achieve our goals. We may find ourselves needing to pay attention to the smaller details before proceeding ahead.
Mars wants us to push past our fears and blocks so we can head out into the world and get things done. Capricorn however, wants us to take our time and ensure the rules, laws, and natural order is followed.
Balancing these energies will be key during this time, and amazing strides can be made if we take our time and ensure we are crossing our t’s and dotting our i’s.
Mars Changing Signs Exercise
As Mars crosses the Galactic Center and moves signs, it’s also a great time to review and assess your overall energy levels. Here’s a little exercise to help-
1.) Write down 10 things you do on a daily basis that may zap and deplete your energy levels. If it helps you can start each item on your list with – “It’s exhausting when…”
For many, anxious or repetitive thinking, worrying about the opinions of others, indecision, and fear of making the wrong choice can all be things that deplete energy.
Lifestyle choices like our diet and exercise routine can also play a role as well.
2.) Look at your list and then make it a point to bring awareness to when you notice yourself doing these things throughout the day. You can also think of ways to replace these habits too.
3.) If you like, you can also further open to these energies by reciting this prayer/mantra-
“I ask to become aware of all that depletes me. I ask to be drawn to all that nourishes, nurtures and supports my energy levels. I ask to become more mindful of the thoughts I choose to keep. Thank you.”
After repeating the mantra, pay attention to what comes up or where you feel drawn.
While we will all feel this energy, here is a short summary of the themes for your Sun sign. If you know your Rising Sign, read for that too-
Mars in Capricorn for Your Sign
Aries
This energy will be guiding you to focus on boundaries, but not just the boundaries you need to create with others but the boundaries you need to create with yourself too. Being patient, waiting your turn, letting others lead the way, these are all things you may be called to do under this energy. While it may be frustrating to give up control, see where you can be in an open state of giving and receiving while also having healthy boundaries in place.
Taurus
This energy will be guiding you to let go of perfectionism and just “do”. If you have been holding yourself back because you don’t feel ready or out of fear, this energy may give you the push you need to take a leap of faith and give things a try. Under this energy, think about where you may be holding yourself back out of fear of not being good enough. Think about where you may be aiming for perfectionism that just isn’t attainable. Once you identify any areas, see if you can create a shift by addressing any feelings of shame or just by becoming aware of when they show up.
Gemini
This energy will be guiding you to look after your health and wellbeing, not just on a physical level but on a spiritual level too. Your spiritual connection is deepening and this is a time where you are really being asked to go within and listen to your inner compass. You may have lots of ideas or projects bubbling away in your mind, but it’s your heart that knows the way. As always, if you need some help deciphering what is happening within, begin writing down your thoughts and feelings till you can write no more.
Cancer
This energy will support you find a mentor, coach, therapist, or teacher. If you are looking for any of these things, put your feelers out there during this time as you are sure to get some great leads. If you need some support, this would be a good time to speak up and reach out for help, whether it’s at home or in the office. You can’t do it all alone, and you don’t have to. This is also a time to think about balancing your needs with the needs of others in all the relationships in your life. Don’t burn the candle at both ends.
Leo
This is a great time to focus on your fitness. If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, or just be fit and healthy, this is a great time to make it a priority. This energy will be supporting any new diet or lifestyle plan you may have in mind and helping you to stick with it for the long term. While you may feel amped up under this energy, be aware of burnout or pushing yourself too hard. Be sure to listen to your body under this energy and if you need to rest, be sure to do that too.
Virgo
This energy will spice up your love life and help you to feel more passionate. Channel this energy into your work or relationships. You may find you feel more energized when you spend quality time with your partner or friends. This is also a great time to socialize and put yourself out there- you never know who you may meet. Your creative energy will also be high and you will feel unstoppable. Write all your good ideas down.
Libra
Under this energy, you may be guided to bring an end to bad habits that have been blocking your productivity or zapping your energy levels. Think about what you need to thrive throughout the day and then work on creating a schedule that mirrors that. You may also find yourself needing to have a difficult conversation with a family member or roommate, but you may wish to get your anger out first before approaching them. This energy is also great for cleaning out the clutter from those cupboards.
Scorpio
This energy will be guiding you to speak up however, tread carefully. While you may want to keep it real and say it like it is, you may have to be a little more tactful and use some of that watery energy to bring a little compassion to whatever you have to say. Don’t be hard on yourself during this time either, and if you need, bring some of that soft, compassionate energy towards yourself.
Sagittarius
This is a fantastic time for you to think about ways you can bring in extra income or perhaps add a little extra to your savings account. Open yourself to receiving as this energy can be positive for your finances. On a deeper level, this energy will guide you to release any fears you may have around your self-worth and feelings of acceptance. We all feel like we don’t belong sometimes, but you are not alone! There is a tribe out there for you, put yourself out there, be patient, and give yourself time.
Capricorn
This is a 5-star placement for you and a great time to get to work on those projects that may require a lot of your time and patience. The Universe will be giving you a boost of energy, so be sure you are open to receiving it! You may also feel drawn to take a trip, read a book, or take a course that brings about a new level of self-discovery or self-growth. This is also a time where your habits and energy levels are transforming, so make some positive new choices.
Aquarius
This energy is helping you to purge old motivations that no longer serve you. You may find yourself feeling burnt out and in need of some rest and relaxation. Allow this energy to recharge your mind, body, and soul. Be patient with the process and re-evaluate your goals and the driving force behind them. While you may feel like you are not making much progress in the physical world, Mars in Capricorn will be helping you to make progress in your inner world. The inner work you do during this time will propel you further in the future.
Pisces
This energy will be giving you added support to go after your goals and dreams. Take a moment to think about something you would like to do or create this year. Visualize it in your mind, write it down on paper, and then use this Mars energy to set the wheels into motion. In order to step into the vibration of receiving and attracting your dream, find ways to help others achieve theirs. In this flow of giving, you will receive.
