First
the Ouch

Something happened. Somebody will tell you there's a gift in it.

They might be right. They're also early.

You can't find the gift in a thing while you're still braced against it. The mind that's protecting you is the same mind you'd need to see it clearly, and it's busy.

So this goes in order. You say what happened. You feel it all the way through, with your hands, for about ninety seconds. And then, once something has actually moved, you go looking.

Ten minutes. Nothing is stored anywhere but your own device.

One

What happened?

Plainly. The way you'd say it to someone who was on your side.

Name it as plainly as you can. You'll be tapping on this word.

Two

How loud is it right now?

Say it as it is this minute, rather than how it seems it should be.

Now feel it

Ten points. Tap each one gently with two fingers while the words are on screen. Say them out loud if you can, and under your breath if you can't.

The words repeat what hurts on purpose. Tapping isn't for making the feeling stop. It's for letting it move all the way through you, which is the thing it's been waiting to do.

Two of the points ask you a question instead. Those come up in gold. Answer them out loud and keep tapping while you do.

About ninety seconds. The screen paces you.

Four

Where is it now?

Check the same feeling. Wherever it landed is the honest number.

Now go looking

Something moved, so there's room to think. Take these one at a time. Write whatever comes, including the answers you'd be embarrassed to say out loud.

Skip any that don't fit. One real answer is plenty.

Here's where you got to

A summary of what you wrote. Read it back before you close the tab.

Screenshot this, or write it in a notebook. It's yours.

One thing worth knowing. A gift you had to be talked into is a reframe. A gift you found on the other side of actually feeling something is yours to keep. That's the whole reason for the order.
