🤔 What if F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) is easier to combat than you think? 🔮 Part 4 of 4
In our STUDY, SAVOR, & SUPPORT Each Other CHAT☕️🍵, we’re doing Part 4 of 4 in our deep-dive into conquering Fear, inspired by Chapter 8 of REWIRED: The Breakthrough Tapping Method to Stop Overthinking, Calm Your Body, and Finally Feel at Ease by Nick, Jessica, & Alex Ortner.
Chapter 8 — 🤔 When Fear Stops You Cold — is such a critical concept that we’re going to take concrete actions to battle our greatest challenge: F.E.A.R. — False Evidence Appearing Real. In this series, we explore what we can do together, to stop thinking and actually take action to combat it this month.
Think•Do•Be the MVP in Your Own Creative Life, inside the MINDFUL VICTUS PLAYSCAPE!
I strongly believe that taking action together — in community with other people who “get it” — makes a tremendous difference. It takes the sting out of doing anything new. It’s fun. And we can keep each other accountable.
Full Recordings are posted in my FREE Private Skool Community: The Mindful VICTUS Playscape, so please join me there. You can overcome one of your own F.E.A.R.s, but there’s no pressure to post a Recording of your own. Simply post what you feel comfortable posting. Even if it’s a simple comment to document what you did to move past your own fear that week. It’s the perfect opportunity to see & imagine what’s possible if you join us, to conquer your own fear. Whatever you decide, my complete Recordings will be posted there, and you can see me succeed or flop 🤣, as I battle the 4 F.E.A.R.s described here.
This week we’re learning to (4) Mindfully Let Music Carry You, For Always
My goal: — Meditation / EFT / Music — To blend meditation with EFT Tapping & music for fully-embodied tactile & auditory nervous system regulation.
MY MINDFUL REFLECTION:
I LOVE how all 4 of these weekly challenges bring our EFT Tapping Script to life, in how we choose:
To envision our own sense of Self (internal self-image);
To express our Self (using our own voice, via the spoken word or by singing);
To engage with the world, using the Self we choose to show others (with or without the mask that society expects us to wear); and,
To enervate our Inner Critic, using the subtle, yet immensely powerful, tool of EFT Tapping, to regulate our nervous system — no matter what we might be going through, internally or externally, in life.
Of course, nothing’s ever perfect but we made progress.
Each weak, we strengthened our ability to experience what it’s like to truly feel safe in our bodies, minds, and spirit…
To meet us as we are, wherever we happen to be in the present moment, with the wonderful words:
“Even though I feel X, I completely love and accept myself.”
YES, if you’ve been following alongside me, we each did it, individually, by ourselves.
Tapping, in the privacy of our own homes or cars or offices.
Wherever we might’ve been. Most often, alone. With no one else to observe our joy or our suffering.
This week, I want to bridge that divide, between our individual Self and the community of Creatives we’re building.
Today, I invite you to join me on SKOOL for this EFT Tapping Session, to heal the dreams we might have had when we were younger.
Now, take a Mindful Moment to:
⭐️ Close your eyes. Picture the child you used to be. And ask:
🔮What if you could heal your Inner Child, even now, after all this time has passed?
🔮What if your life was far from over?
🔮What if you had plenty of time to rediscover the joy you felt when you were young?
🔮What if it was not too late, after all?
⭐️Now, follow this EFT Tapping Script with me:
🔮 Side of Hand: Today, I’m tapping to reconnect with the Inner Child in me.
🔮 Top of Head: Even though it’s been a long time…
🔮 Eyebrow: I remember you.
🔮 Side of Eye: I see you.
🔮 Under Eye: I picture you.
🔮 Under Nose: I feel you.
🔮 Under Mouth: Even though it’s been a long time since I’ve given you a voice, I completely love & cherish you.
🔮 Collarbone: I carry you with me.
🔮 Under Arm: For always…
Repeat as many rounds as you like, and add a description that’s specific to you.
• Like, “I remember how you used to spend time outside, just enjoying the sun on your skin.”
• Or, “I picture how you loved to be silly and make your friends laugh.”
• Or, “I remember how you loved to sing and dance along to the radio.”
Then watch this Video — it’s the 1st time I’ve ever recorded myself playing piano while singing.

As you imagine the lyrics applying to you, ask yourself,
“What if you could become one with your Highest Self, in this moment & for always?”
Remembering so well
The day when I met You
You took me in Your arms
And caused dreams to come true
From the fear of what would be
You came and rescued me
Oh, I pray, today…
& for the rest of my life…
Live inside my heart
Please stay…
For always.
Till that timeless place
When we’re face to face
And we’ll embrace…
For always.
Now, Take a Mindful Moment, to ask yourself:
⭐️ Are you ready to THINK•DO•BE what you need to THINK•DO•BE, to become one with your Highest Self?
⭐️ In community, with likeminded Creatives?
🙌 Then JOIN my FREE Private Skool Community: The Mindful VICTUS Playscape! It’s FREE. It’s FUN. It’s how we BREAK FREE from our F.E.A.R.s, one by one, to become the MVPs of our Creative Life!
Let’s Rewire ourselves on the deepest, physiological level, right now.
To be our truest, most Authentic Self,
the POWERFUL Self we choose to be,
Together.
And join us next week — when we move onto Chapter 9 of REWIRED: The Breakthrough Tapping Method to Stop Overthinking, Calm Your Body, and Finally Feel at Ease by Nick, Jessica, & Alex Ortner.
Chapter 9 — 🤔 When the Past Won’t Stay in the Past — Healing Old Wounds That Still Hurt.
Until then…
🧠🥰The Highest Self in Me🥰🧠
🙏honors & respects🙏
🧠🥰The Highest Self in Each of You,🥰🧠
🔮Today & For Always,🔮
Marisa
And, remember how far we’ve come these last 3 Weeks:
MY KARAOKE from Week 3 — Embracing Joy with others:
To remember: It’s worth celebrating LIFE, in all of its messy glory.
Without the need to be perfect.
Without feeling like we have to be polished all the time.
There’s so much to enjoy, when we simply bask in the joy of Being.
MY SINGING from Week 2 — Battling Perfectionism:
👇🥳 Press PLAY on the Audio attached to this Substack Post! 🥳👇
Or, listen on Soundcloud!
I chose this song because the name & lyrics of the song — “I Love You, Always Forever” — say it all.
MY VIDEO from Week 1 — Battling Stage Fright:
I LOVE how all 4 of these weekly challenges echo our EFT Tapping Script:
“Even though I feel X, I completely love and accept myself.”
And what a journey it’s been. From week to week, we’ve learned to go from merely thinking and planning, to worrying about it, to hearing the Monkey Mind’s excuses to avoid it, to tapping about it…
To actually doing it.
But that’s how we have to learn sometimes. To truly grow.
To embrace who we are — as is — perfectly imperfect.
And, music’s been the perfect pairing to our EFT practice.
It’s powerful, how the words and rhythms of music can elevate our state, and help us to relax into joy, peace, and Flow.

In The Mindful VICTUS Playscape, our motto is
Vita est pro victus!
which means
“Life is for LIVING — Truly Living!”
Not as some shell of who we should be. But as our truest, most Authentic Self.
Here, we PLAY our way to success, using The VICTUS Method: the science-backed practice for us to THINK+DO+BE who we’re meant to be, by cultivating MINDFUL Creativity in Music, Art, Fitness, & Somatic Exercises to experience peace, joy, & flow.
Together, we will deactivate the Fight-Flight-Freeze-Fawn-or-Flop response of our Sympathetic Nervous System; and activate the Rest-&-Digest response of our Parasympathetic Nervous System, so we can all see how wonderful it feels to experience safety in our body, mind, and heart. 💜 Relax into our “Messy Middle” 💜 Celebrate our Becoming 💜 Champion our Highest Self 💜 Honor our Inner Child; and, remember that, when we are Mindful, we have the power to CHOOSE what’s best for us: To drop the mask 💜 Abandon perfectionism
Let’s co-create the world we wish to live in, so we can all LIVE our lives, wholeheartedly.
Inside The Mindful VICTUS Playscape,
we can be who we CHOOSE to be.
Who we’re MEANT to be:
♾️ Happy & Healthy ♾️
♾️ Creating a life we LOVE ♾️
♾️ Full of Hope, Passion, & Purpose ♾️
Are YOU ready to use EFT to step into the new Creative YOU, in a well-regulated way with me?
Then join The Mindful VICTUS Playscape so we can
EFT-our-way-to-Freedom this day & every day!
I’ll never promise perfection. Only Authenticity.
As I tap the keys on my piano…
so we can EFT-Tap our way to wholeness.
Together, we’ll…
Like/Comment/Share our creative work, so ALL of us can grow as Creatives.
⭐️ Until we can all proclaim this wholeheartedly:
-
♥️ “I deserve to explore Better Ways of Being.”
-
♥️ “I champion my Creative Self.”
-
♥️ “No matter what I’m feeling, I can love & accept myself.”
See you inside!
-
Choose a creative activity to pursue alongside me. Not necessarily the same creative practice as I’m choosing (music). But, the creative practice that YOU choose.
-
Together, we will experiment and PLAY.
-
P.S. No worries if you don’t have a Creative Practice yet. I’m planning fun ways to listen-to-learn piano, by going back to basics, so beginners will be right on time!
