EFT Tapping For Racing Thoughts — Fall Asleep Tonight

Your body is tired. But your mind will not stop. The thoughts keep coming, the worries keep circling, and sleep feels further away with every passing minute. This EFT tapping session was made for exactly this moment. In three gentle rounds of tapping, this 10-minute session guides you through acknowledging what your mind is carrying, slowing the mental noise, and settling your nervous system into the stillness that sleep requires. You do not need to fight your thoughts or force yourself to relax. You simply need to give your nervous system a clear signal that the day is done and it is safe to rest. EFT tapping does exactly that. If you are not familiar with the tapping points, please begin with the short introductory video available on my Insight Timer profile before your first session. It only takes a few minutes and will make this practice immediately accessible.
