Guided Tapping For Sleep - EFT With TheJoyHut

Focusing on how to use tapping for an inability to sleep, this audio may be useful to do at the time of day when you are awake and needing to go to sleep, such as at the end of the day or if for whatever reason in the middle of the night you wake up and cannot get back to sleep. You may actually imagine tapping on the points rather than physically moving your hand to tap on them, as we know through the visualisation studies, that imagining doing certain actions makes the same part of the brain fire. This is also a good strategy when you don't want to create too much movement, your body is tired or you have someone next to you who is also sleeping.

The first few rounds of tapping will focus on the general problem of inability to get to sleep, whether that's at the start of the evening or halfway through the night when you've woken up. Whatever you are saying to yourself, please substitute any of my words for your specific feelings and sensations.

Enjoy and goodnight.

Welcome to Tapping for Sleep. My name is Angela Joy and I am founder of The Joy Hut. So this tapping recording today is going to focus on how to use tapping for an inability to sleep. And this may be very useful to do at a time of day when you're awake, But you're needing to go to sleep. So at the end of the day, Or if for whatever reason in the middle of the night you wake up and you can't get back to sleep. But just remember, This is also one of those moments in time where you might actually like to imagine doing the tapping on the points rather than physically moving your hand. To tap on them. We know through visualisation studies that imagining doing certain actions makes the same part of the brain fire off. So you could just lay there and imagine tapping on these pressure points as we work through each of these statements, Rather than physically tapping on them. It's one of those times that perhaps you don't want to move too much when you're trying to drift back to sleep or somebody is next to you also sleeping. So the first few rounds of tapping here will focus on the general problem of the inability to sleep. Whether that's at the start of the evening or halfway through the night when you've woken up. Whatever it is, Is exactly. . . Going to be right for you. And I want you to use the words that you say to yourself. And substitute any of my words for your specific feelings and sensations. So let's do the side of the hand first and repeating after me. Even though I can't get to sleep. I completely accept that this is where I'm at right now. Even though I can't switch off my thoughts to drift off to sleep. I completely accept that this is how I feel. Even though I feel maybe anxious, Stressed or overwhelmed from my day. Or what's coming up tomorrow. And I just can't get to sleep. I choose to accept that this is how I feel right now. Moving to the eyebrow point. I just can't sleep. Side of the eye.
