Hello,
My friends.
Welcome.
Today we are going to do a guided meditation that involves EFT tapping.
Tapping is a technique that I have used for a little over a year now and have found it most helpful.
Especially when dealing with difficult emotions,
Or emotions that we find challenging.
So I will guide us through the different tapping points,
And then we'll do it all together.
So we begin with the tapping point on the side of the hand.
This is the pinky side,
The fleshy part down on the side of the palm,
Outer edge of the hand.
So just with two or three fingers,
You gently tap the side of the hand.
That is our starting point,
And that is where we create a statement to really focus the intention of the meditation.
The first actual tapping point on the body then is at the inner eyebrow point.
So right where your eyebrows begin,
Just a gentle tapping there.
I like to use both hands,
But you can use left hand,
Right hand,
Whatever feels best for you.
And I like to use usually my two first fingers for the tapping.
And then we slide over to the temple point,
But it's just really more on that bone point on the outside edge of your eye.
The next point.
Then we go down to under the eye where that ridge of bone is under the eye,
Top of the cheekbone.
Then the next point is under the nose.
Right on that top lip above the lip.
Then the chin point,
Which is in that little crease between your bottom lip and the point of your chin.
So tapping there gently.
And then it's the collarbone points,
Which is directly about an inch below your collarbones.
Tapping there gently.
And then the next point is under the arm.
It's about four inches below the armpit.
So gentle tapping under the arm.
And then the final point is at the top of the head,
A gentle tapping on the crown of the head.
So for today,
We are going to tap on uncertainty,
When you are feeling just sort of lost or uncertain as to what next step to take.
And I have modified EFT tapping to be more about present moment awareness.
I find it most helpful for me.
So hopefully it'll help you as well.
So we begin with that statement point,
The side of the hand,
Gently tapping on the side of the hand.
And we use a setup statement such as even though I feel uncertain.
I am choosing to remain present with myself.
Even though I feel uncertain.
I am choosing to trust in this moment.
Even though I feel uncertain,
I am choosing to trust my intuition.
Now we move to the eyebrow point.
Gentle tapping on the inner edge of the eyebrows.
Feeling uncertain.
Now moving to the side of the eye,
Gentle tapping at the side of the eye.
Noticing how uncertainty feels within your body.
Now moving to under the eye,
Gentle tapping on that ridge under the eye.
What does feeling uncertain do to my body?
My mind.
Now moving under the nose.
To me,
Feeling uncertain causes anxiety.
Now the chin point under the bottom lip.
Feeling anxious makes my body tight and tense.
Now moving to the collarbones,
Just directly below the collarbones,
Gentle tapping.
Uncertainty in my body puts me on edge.
Then under the arm.
Uncertainty makes me realize that I don't know what is to come.
And that makes me uncomfortable.
Top of the head.
Uncertainty is uncomfortable.
Eyebrow points.
Still feeling into however it feels for you when you're feeling unsure about what is to come.
Side of the eye.
Does it bring up sensations of fear or anxiety,
Worry,
Tension.
Under the eye.
Just noticing the points in your body where you may be feeling physical sensations that are uncomfortable.
Under the nose.
Just simply leaning into this feeling of uncertainty.
Of being unsure.
Chin point,
Noticing how this makes your body feel,
How it makes your heart space feel.
Right under the collarbones.
Noticing how your mind your thoughts are when you're feeling uncertain.
Under the arm,
Just welcoming all of these sensations,
All of these feelings,
Being present with them.
Top of the head.
I feel a sense of uncertainty.
Now I like to do a series of tapping to sort of clear that uncertainty.
So we stick with the same points and our eyebrow points,
But I tap 13 times.
It's in a rhythm of four.
So it's one,
Two,
Three,
Four,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,

Continue on under the eye,
Tapping.

Under the nose,

Taking a deep breath.
Now we're going to tap on the points calling in how we wish to feel in this moment.
So eyebrow points just back to that gentle tapping.
No need for a rhythm now.
But setting the intention that I am present in this moment.
Side of the eye.
I am choosing to be right here,
Right now.
Under the eye.
I am allowing my breath to become deeper.
And slower.
Under the nose,
I am allowing my body to be still and present.
Chin.
I am welcoming this moment.
Collarbones.
I am present with my breath.
And my body.
Under the arm.
I am breathing in this moment.
Top of the head,
I am choosing to be present.
Eyebrow points.
I am relaxing my body with every breath I take.
Side of the eye.
I am choosing to allow my emotions to settle and calm.
Under the eye.
I am exactly where I meant to be in this moment.
Under the nose,
I choose presence.
Chin.
I am where I am meant to be right now.
Collarbones.
I am softening and relaxing my body.
Under the arm.
I am allowing my breath to be slow and even.
Top of the head.
I am present.
Eyebrow points just feeling into a nice slow breath.
Side of the eye noticing the tension draining from the body.
Under the eye,
Allowing the facial muscles to relax.
Under the nose.
Allowing the neck to be soft,
The shoulders to drop down.
Chin.
Releasing tension from the arms and the hands,
The legs and the feet.
Under the collarbones,
Allowing the torso to be soft,
Open,
Comfortable.
Under the arm.
Feeling the entire body relaxed.
Grounded.
Top of the head.
I am present.
Now allowing the hands to drop down.
Taking a deep breath in through the nose.
Pause at the top.
Open the mouth and gentle,
Slow exhale.
And just tuning in,
Noticing how you feel now,
That you feel present.
Perhaps the body does feel more relaxed and grounded.
Just making note of how you feel.
And know that you can always take more rounds with the tapping.
And this technique can be used with any big emotion.
Anytime you're feeling triggered or activated.
You can set up that statement at the beginning of even though I feel.
I choose.
I hope that this meditation has helped you,
That this technique will be one that you adopt into your life.
Please know you can come back to it at any time.
I am wishing you a beautiful,
Wonderful day.
