After writing out your 12 Forgiveness Statements for Day 10, the specific money forgiveness issue(s) that you want to work on are becoming increasingly clear. Give the issue a name. Now on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 represents “complete freedom from disturbing thoughts” and 10 represents “these thoughts are driving me crazy,” rate the intensity of the thoughts, judgments, and beliefs you have about your relationship with money.

The Reversal Statement neutralizes any subconscious resistance you have to releasing any thoughts, judgments, and beliefs you have about your relationship with money. It acknowledges your resistance and moves you forward anyway.

Since money is one of the greatest societal measures of status and security, our relationship to the energy of money cannot be taken for granted without being subject to a very high price. This is what we are all still learning from the aftershock of the 2008 U. S. financial crisis.

Use the Reversal Statement provided below (or one that you’ve written yourself) and repeat it three times while tapping continuously on the Karate Chop point.

• Even though I’m stuck in the false belief that I can’t have money, and there’s no way out, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.

The Set-Up Statement helps you focus on the issue that you’ll be addressing during your tapping session.

Choose one of the Set-Up Statements below (or use one that you’ve written yourself) and repeat it three times while tapping continuously on the Karate Chop point.

• Even though part of me believes it’s hard to make money and I can’t figure out why it has to be that way, I love myself totally and unconditionally.
  
• Even though there is never enough and I can’t seem to change my relationship with money despite my wanting to, I love myself and accept how I feel.
  
• Even though I always work too hard to get money and I’m never paid fairly—maybe because I haven’t really earned it or maybe I don’t deserve it—I choose to love and accept myself anyway.
  

Shake your hands out and have a few sips of water. Take a deep breath through your nose. Release the breath slowly and softly through your mouth, making the sound “Ahhhhh” as you do so.

Recheck your intensity level on holding unforgiveness about yourself. If the level is at 8 or higher, repeat the entire 3-Round Tapping Sequence outlined in the Bonus Tapping Script (or your self-created script.)

If the level is less than 8, tap on a Modified Set-Up Statement, then perform the 10-point Tapping Sequence on the Forgiveness Statements from your daily journal work.

MODIFIED SET-UP STATEMENT

Use the Modified Set-Up Statement below (or use one that you’ve written yourself) and repeat it three times while tapping continuously on the Karate Chop point.

• Even though I still have some stubborn judgments about myself and some resistance to letting them go, I am willing to let them go, and I love and accept myself totally and unconditionally.
  

After you complete the Tapping Sequence on your Forgiveness Statements, recheck your intensity level on holding unforgiveness about money.

Depending on your level, continue to repeat the sequence described above until you are at a 0 level of intensity.
