Balloons, Balloons, Balloons! Balloons, balloons, balloons!!! Balloons of all colors help you get rid of your fears. Balloons come in all sizes and colors to help you face what’s bothering you. Gilda was always afraid. She was afraid of everything at the hospital. She was afraid before anything had even happened. She would imagine what might happen and feel afraid. Most of the time, she was afraid even when she didn’t need to be. It wasn’t any fun. Gilda didn’t want to be afraid anymore so we used Tapping with the image of balloons to help her feel better. Tap with us to get rid of your fears too. Imagine a fear that you have. See it and feel it. Now imagine that you can put that fear inside an imaginary balloon. Imagine that balloon is in front of you. You can make the balloon any color, shape or size that you want. What color is your balloon? Is it a plain color, or is it striped, or with stars or spots or something else on it? How big is your balloon? Is it small or is it as big as a house? Now that you have that imaginary balloon with you, tap along and we’ll put your fear inside the balloon. Remember — you are imagining these balloons. You don’t need to have a real balloon in front of you. ROUND 1 Tap on the Karate Chop point and say: Even though I feel so afraid, I’m a great kid. Even though I feel afraid of what is happening to me, I’m a wonderful kid. Even though I’m afraid of all the scary things in my head, I want to feel better. Eyebrow: I’m so scared. I don’t know what to do. Side of the Eye: I am so afraid. This fear is so BIG! Under the Eye: What do I do with all of this fear? Under the Nose: The fear is in my head. Chin: The fear is in my mind and thoughts. Collarbone: The fear is in my body. Under the Arm: I am so afraid. Top of the Head: This fear is so BIG! ROUND 2 Eyebrow: I don’t know how to feel better, but I want to feel better. Side of the Eye: I have a great imagination, so I can think of a way to get rid of these fears. Under the Eye: I know — I can put them in an imaginary balloon and send them away. Under the Nose: I have a BIG BLUE balloon (or whatever color you want to imagine). I put my fear in a BLUE balloon. Chin: I blow and blow and blow all of my fear into the big blue balloon. Collarbone: The blue balloon gets bigger and bigger as my fear fills it up. Under the Arm: When it is full of all of my fear, I tie it off. Top of the Head: I let it go — why not? — and it floats up into the sky and disappears. Yeah!! ROUND 3 Eyebrow: That feels so much better. Side of the Eye: My mind is quieter but I still have a teensy, weensy bit of fear left. Under the Eye: I want to get rid of it too, because I don’t like fear. Under the Nose: I get out an imaginary PINK balloon. A beautiful PINK balloon with swirls on it. Chin: I blow and blow and blow all the rest of my fear into the balloon. Collarbone: The balloon gets fatter and fatter as I put all the rest of my fear into it. Under the Arm: I’m so glad I can put my fear in the balloon. Top of the Head: I put every little tiny bit of my fear into the pink balloon and then I tie it off, and let it float away. ROUND 4 Eyebrow: I feel so much better now. No more fear. Side of the Eye: I have all the balloons I need to get rid of any fears I have. Under the Eye: That makes me feel really safe. Under the Nose: I have red balloons, white balloons, pink balloons, purple balloons, yellow balloons, green balloons, orange balloons, striped balloons, flowered balloons, balloons with stars and spots on them — any kind I want. Chin: It is so easy to put all of my troubles into balloons and let them float up into the sky and disappear. Collarbone: I’m so glad I have balloons to help me feel better. Under the Arm: Now I feel light and free and happy! Top of the Head: Balloons make me feel happy. Gilda felt so much better after putting all of her fears in her imaginary blue and pink balloons and letting them disappear up into the sky. It only took two balloons to get rid of her fear. Now she knows that anytime she has a fear she can pick out another imaginary balloon and get rid of it. Sometimes it only takes one balloon, sometimes three. But no matter how many balloons it takes, she can get rid of her fear. How about you? Do you feel better? Did your balloon help you get rid of a fear? Did you lose all your fears? If not, then get out another balloon and tap again until they are gone. If they are gone — YAY!!! You are amazing! Remember any time you feel fear, you can put it in an imaginary balloon and send it away. You can put mad, sad and bad feelings in a balloon too and send them away. There are enough balloons to get rid of any unwanted feelings you may have.
