What questions help you gain clarity?

Is there another way to look at this?

The value of this question can be to sense how “reactive” I’m being.

For example, if I say (or scream in my head) “NO!!” it definitely means I am in my primitive brain. Why?

Well, I can’t think of anything, any situation, where there isn’t another way to look at it. That doesn’t mean I’ll agree with that way, or choose it as my viewpoint. But my primitive brain (and yours) tends to become frozen/stuck/narrowed in on one perspective… one view ONLY… and that view is almost always triggering.

If Emotional Freedom includes the ability to choose a frame of reference, then this question can help us FEEL for how free we are.

It can be tricky… if I’m “stuck”… and yeah, if I can start tapping even just my collarbone points and ask, “Well, how might a totally clueless person see this?” Haha, yeah, and sometimes I am the totally clueless person. But it helps to throw in a little judgment sometimes with the tapping.

“How would _____ see this?” I have wise people I know, and others I’ve read, and others I’m connected with spiritually. One of the potent capabilities of humans is that we’re actually capable in our minds of putting ourselves into other people’s perspectives – however imperfectly. I believe this gift is for US, because it can help us see a situation from other vantage points.

Truth is, the more emotionally free I am, the easier it is to see all the emotional landscape. I can be aware of many different stories (perceptions) we can have about a situation and align my energy with one(s) that give me a sense of empowerment and direction.
