I was rather skeptical when I first heard about 'tapping in' positive statements to increase the flow of money into my life;- affirmations were not really my cup of tea. But I'll try almost anything once.
So when a good friend of mine shared a powerful affirmation that had been proven to increase self-esteem and attract abundance, I decided to give it a try. I changed the wording around a bit to make it 'mine', and then experimented with my new affirmation statement using the 'Temporal Tap' technique.
Five days later, I was unexpectedly handed a check for over $18,000 and told to do with the money whatever I wished! And I mean this was TOTALLY unexpected - right out of the blue.
The day after that, our house was appraised at $75,000 more than we had bought it for a few years earlier. Then within three weeks, my husband and I became the proud owners of a condo on the beach - without having to pay any cash up front.
Now, although I have an abundant life, this all made for a pretty unusual four week period - even for me! I was totally sold on the reality of the power of the Temporal Tap.
The Temporal Tap is a recently rediscovered ancient energy technique that is enormously effective in breaking old habits, changing unwanted attitudes and emotional responses, and establishing new ones. It involves simply tapping the scalp around the top of the ear, and is a simple, direct and powerful tool that makes the brain more receptive to learning new habits and instilling new attitudes.
Temporal tapping calms the part of the nervous system that fights to maintain your current belief systems and patterns of behavior, and so makes it easy to instill new beliefs which act to attract success and prosperity into your life.
WANT TO ATTRACT PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS? TAP HERE!
Begin by identifying a habit or belief, or a condition in your life, that you would like to change. Next create an affirmation in the present tense that describes how you would prefer things to be, as if the condition already exists.
For example, you could say, "I joyfully receive abundance in my life", or "Right now, I am prosperous", or even "I always have more than enough money to pay all my bills". The affirmations can be anything you wish to become true and to take effect in your life. They can be specific, such as, "I easily and successfully attract five new customers every day", or more general, such as "There are plenty of customers for my services". And they can be used to increase business success, no matter what your career choice: "I am making good money as a writer/ artist/ mechanic/ hairdresser/ (or whatever applies)".
It is important that the statements are in the language you think in or are most comfortable with, in your own lingo, and aligned with your own values. For easy recall, is may be best to make them short and to the point.
To perform the Temporal Tap, start tapping at the right temple in front of the ear canal and continue tapping on the scalp along the top edge of the ear until you reach the back center of the ear, opposite where you started. At the same time speak the affirmation you are working on. The active spots on the scalp are only along the upper half of the ear, from front center to back center. Tapping with all your fingertips bunched together ensures that you contact all the points along this 'Temporal—Sphenoidal' (T—S) line. You do not have to tap hard, just firmly enough to stimulate the energy. Perform three tapping repetitions along the same line, each time repeating your affirmation.

You do not have to tap hard, just firmly enough to stimulate the energy. Perform three tapping repetitions along the same line, each time repeating your affirmation.
The effects of the Temporal Tap last about thirty minutes, so you should wait at least that long or more before repeating the tapping sequence with the same affirmation. Doing the procedure several times a day can speed up the installation of new behavior and attitudes, as reinforcement is an important part of the process.
I tapped in my statement seven times a day at least. The more you tap in the affirmation, the quicker and stronger the effect will be, and the easier your habits will change.
For increased effectiveness, write down your affirmation to make sure you are using the exact wording each time. However, if you think of a more appropriate statement at any time, write down the new version and use this instead.
Do the Temporal Tap separately for as many affirmations as you wish, as long as you can easily address them all at least several times a day on a daily basis. Once your statement has become a part of your life, you can replace it with a new one.
You should pay attention to what is going through your mind while you are saying the affirmations. For example, if you are stating, "I deserve prosperity and abundance in my life" and your self talk replies, "This is useless, I'm not educated enough to be rich", your statement isn't ringing true for you and needs to be changed. Perhaps saying something like, "I now have the ability to recognize and take advantage of opportunities that create prosperity" would be more effective. If you are stating, "Money flows easily into my life" but you think, "My parents lived from paycheck to paycheck and so will I" then try something similar to, "I am more abundant than my parents because they want it that way". Try to be creative with your affirmations; find one that really resonates for you and that you can believe in.
ARE YOU READY TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF MONEY INTO YOUR LIFE?
Example of affirmations you could use to increase the flow of money into your life might be; "I constantly do everything necessary to establish a positive flow of money in my life", "The universe always supports me" or "Everything I touch is a success". One student of mine used "My income increases whether I am working, sleeping or playing" and got hired at the very next job she applied for. Another student's affirmations included "I'm helping lots and lots of people" and "I'm making oodles and oodles of money". Soon after, she was able to take advantage of an opportunity to increase her client base and her income. She is now tapping in "I'm making a minimum of $500.00 a week". The possibilities for constructive affirmations are limitless.
Temporal Tapping has helped people to build confidence and increase optimism and self-esteem, and to replace old habits with constructive behavior. It can be used in almost any area of your personal life, including emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, social, domestic, and occupational problems. People have used it to lose weight ("I enjoy eating healthy foods in the proper portions"), to improve job performance ("Right now, I complete my tasks easily and correctly"), and even to stop fingernail biting ("My fingernails are growing long and strong"). Using Temporal Tapping is a simple yet powerful way to change many habits or repeating patterns in your life. All you need to do is focus on whatever part of your life you most want to change, and create a simple affirmation that reflects your highest goals or ideals.
What affirmation did I instill to bring newly found abundance into my life? "Right now, I deeply and completely accept myself in the presence of other people." You are welcome to experiment with this statement if it resonates with you. If you ever feel the Temporal Tap is not working, just try changing the wording of the affirmation. Remember, it is important that the statement is comfortable for you and clearly reflects your goals. Use the language you are most familiar with, and words that are aligned with your values and feelings.
Go for it. This really is your chance to attract abundance into your life - right now!
