Hello,
My name is Amy Lee Hochman and I am a Reiki Master Practitioner living in New York City.
In today's session,
I'm going to be using Reiki and bilateral tapping to help you reset your parasympathetic nervous system.
So get comfortable,
You can either sit or lie down,
However you feel most at ease.
I'm gonna start sending you the Reiki right away,
And all you need to do to receive it is simply watch or even just listen to this video.
In this session,
I will be working with your third eye chakra.
Your third eye chakra is where your prefrontal cortex lies,
And that is directly tied to your parasympathetic nervous system.
During this session,
While you are receiving the Reiki,
You may feel warmth,
Tingling,
A bit spacey or sleepy,
Or nothing at all.
And if you are feeling nothing,
Be assured,
As long as you are listening to this track,
You are getting the Reiki.
Please note that Reiki and bilateral tapping are not substitutes for traditional medical and mental health treatment.
So feel the air on your skin,
Your feet on the floor,
Or whatever is supporting you underneath your body as you are lying down.
You also may want to start taking shorter in-breaths and longer out-breaths.
This signals your body that all is well and you are safe.
So now that I've started the Reiki,
We can start the bilateral tapping.
For this session,
Let's do what's called a butterfly hug.
Start by crossing your arms over your chest so that your right arm is on your left shoulder and your left arm is on your right shoulder.
They can also be on your upper arms,
Just as long as they are crossed over and are alternating left and right.
Now,
Start to gently tap alternating sides.
You can also vary speed.
You can tap quickly or you can tap more slowly.
You just have to figure out what works best for you.
And let's do this for a couple of minutes.
And while we're doing it,
I can tell you a couple of other methods for bilateral tapping.
For example,
If you're in public and you want to be discreet,
You can scrunch up your toes.
Alternate scrunching your right toes,
Then your left toes,
Then your right toes,
Then your left toes.
In order to feel the effects of this,
It's recommended to do it for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Ideally,
You want to do this for a couple of minutes.
Also.
.
.
You can tap your legs alternately.
Right hand taps right leg,
Left hand taps left leg.
Again,
You want to do this for a couple of minutes to really feel the effects.
Now something to note is that some people may only require shorter amounts of this kind of tapping than is generally recommended.
And after a while,
It can get either anxiety provoking or even irritating.
So if you are finding yourself getting less peaceful,
Please stop.
Maybe you just need to do it in shorter bursts,
Or maybe it's just not for you.
You can experiment and figure out what is best for you.
If you were feeling a bit anxious when you came into this session,
Hopefully you're feeling a bit calmer now.
Let me know in the comments how you're doing and what else you do that brings you comfort.
Thank you so much for participating in this session.
May you be safe.
May you be happy,
May you be healthy,
May you live with ease.
