It is one of the most<br \/>\nbeautiful stories you&#8217;ll ever hear.  It shares a<br \/>\nmessage of forgiveness, and its power to transform,<br \/>\nthat I think is truly life-changing and worth your time<br \/>\nto listen to.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne Dyer made his transition in August of last year,<br \/>\nexactly 41 years to the day after visiting his father&#8217;s<br \/>\ngrave at age 34, but although he is no longer visible<br \/>\non the physical plane, his message is still changing<br \/>\nthe world. <\/p>\n<p>Wayne sat down before his passing for an exclusive<br \/>\ninterview with Nick Ortner, conducted for the upcoming<br \/>\n8th annual Tapping World Summit, which starts on<br \/>\nFebruary 22nd, to tell this story and much more:  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1SSv3e5\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/1SSv3e5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When I clicked to watch it, I wasn&#8217;t feeling angry at<br \/>\nall. I thought I had nothing and no one left to<br \/>\nforgive.<\/p>\n<p>What about you?<\/p>\n<p>Even though all kinds of things have happened in my<br \/>\nlife that for long periods have left me angry, feeling<br \/>\nnumb, paralyzed, and powerless, when I started watching<br \/>\nthis touching Wayne Dyer video about forgiveness, I was<br \/>\nalready feeling really happy. <\/p>\n<p>At the invitation to pick someone to forgive so I could<br \/>\ntap* along, I paused the video and had to really search<br \/>\nfor someone about whom I had some unresolved anger.<\/p>\n<p>Not finding anyone, I picked someone with whom I<br \/>\n&#8220;should&#8221; be angry based on what he did.<\/p>\n<p>Amazingly, as I tapped along, I felt lighter. Sure<br \/>\nenough, there was something to let go.<\/p>\n<p>Then I tapped a few extra rounds on a different<br \/>\nsubject&#8211;not even a person&#8211;that I knew I had some<br \/>\nresentment about. Presto change-o!<\/p>\n<p>This is the thing I find about tapping. Intellectually,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m cool. I think I&#8217;ve got it all sorted out. I think I<br \/>\ndon&#8217;t &#8220;need&#8221; to tap unless I&#8217;m really upset, or coming<br \/>\ndown with a cold, or have some physical pain. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes when I most &#8220;need&#8221; to tap are the very times<br \/>\nI most resist it. <\/p>\n<p>But as soon as I start tapping, whether I &#8220;need&#8221; to or<br \/>\nnot, I&#8217;m out of my thinking and into my feelings, where<br \/>\nthere is always benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Wayne&#8217;s story about letting go of lifelong anger at his<br \/>\nfather is powerful. You, too, have the opportunity to<br \/>\nlet go of something you might have &#8220;good reason&#8221; to be<br \/>\nangry about. <\/p>\n<p>You might also find yourself in stitches, laughing<br \/>\nalong with him while he tells more stories, about<br \/>\nthings he did and things you&#8217;ve done.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the video!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/1SSv3e5\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/1SSv3e5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Then, share your reaction here. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks! <\/p>\n<p>With love and appreciation,<br \/>\nAlexandra<br \/>\nDr. Alexandra Gayek<\/p>\n<p>*If you&#8217;re not familiar with tapping, and have no idea<br \/>\nwhat I&#8217;m talking about, you&#8217;ll get the idea when you<br \/>\nwatch the video.
