_ I am also a musician, one of the inmates said when we turned off the
projector, I will also compose a song for Tapping till next time you come.
And he did. And two others too. They made a whole performance to
praise the Tapping. All 3000 inmates were gathered in front of a stage
constructed for the occasion in the middle of the courtyard inside the
high brick walls.
After the performance one of the participants from the training came to
me:
-I don’t know what this technique is doing with me, but it makes me want
to talk. It softens my heart. Can you please help me to get in contact
with the family who I have wronged during the genocide.
Another came and wanted to greet me by hand. He smiled and said :
Murakoze! Thank you! When he let go of my hand I felt I had something
left in mine. When I looked down I saw a beautiful big ring of brass.
Since then we have been in many prisons. That is another story.
Rwanda is special in many ways. So much has changed since the
genocide. So many reforms and Home Grown solutions to huge
challenges. One being that the authorities really want to see
rehabilitation of the prisoners.
That is why we were engaged to teach Tapping in the prisons. And I love
it. If we are to create a more harmonius societies we all need to balance
our nervous systems.
It is when we react instantly without reflection that most bad things
happen. Tapping is a way to create that space between reaction and
action.
