Did you know that our gut and our heart and our mind are all interrelated?
Our small intestine,
The organ in our belly,
Is the messenger up into our heart,
Through our throat,
And into our mind.
It helps us process,
Sort through things that are going on in our life,
To make sense of things,
And to really be able to move through them so that they can get out of the body.
Our gut,
You know,
Is what helps us to detox,
To really get rid of all of that yucky stuff,
But sometimes there's too much going on.
Our mind is going wild,
We have an influx of thoughts,
It's hard to concentrate,
It's hard to feel really satisfied and content in our bodies,
And that all moves through our systems.
Our gut,
Our small intestine,
Sends that into our heart,
But if our heart is closed,
Then we're not really even going to be able to feel it,
To get it into our mind,
To process,
And to move it back down to let our gut know that we're okay.
So hi,
I'm Amanda Baker,
And I'm a licensed clinical social worker and 500 trained yoga instructor with a philosophy and specialty in yoga psychology.
I pull from the yoga history,
The mindset,
As well as evidence-based practices from a mental health perspective,
And so today I want to offer a tapping technique called emotional freedom technique that moves through somewhere between nine and eleven tapping points on the body to really help balance out our gut,
Our heart,
And our mind.
So go ahead,
Get yourself into a comfortable seat,
Follow along with me.
If this is your first time,
Go slow,
Be willing,
Follow as I move you through the tapping points,
And also name and identify statements that may be really true for you.
If they don't resonate,
Let it go,
Just keep going through the tapping points,
And then notice what you experience through the process and at the end.
If you've been with me before,
You've done tapping before,
You're going to get all the benefits and just keep showing up for yourself.
So let's begin.
So we'll start with the starting point,
The point on the edge of your outer hand,
Doesn't matter which hand you take,
And then the opposite hand is going to tap.
Begin to tap here,
I'll take you through the introductory statements,
That even though I may not fully listen to my gut through my heart and my mind,
I am okay.
Even though I may not fully listen to my body,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I often get overwhelmed with the influx of thoughts,
I deeply and completely love,
Honor,
And accept myself.
Now come to the eyebrow,
Tap just along the eyebrow,
That hard bone above the eye,
So much to sort through,
So much to sort through,
And then come to the temple,
The side of the eye,
The bone,
The side of the eye,
That I often feel overwhelmed,
Unsettled,
And anxious,
Unsettled,
And anxious.
I often feel overwhelmed,
Unsettled,
And anxious underneath the eye at the cheekbone.

Right above your lip,

I like to use both hands on the collarbone,
And there's so much to do.

Right along the bra line at the side of the body.
I can't do it all.

Underneath the arm,

And then you can keep tapping here for a few more seconds and then you can release the arm.
You can close your eyes.
You can continue to breathe.
You can notice the tingle sensation,
The vibration,
Your own energy has been influenced.
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
The benefits of the tapping practice to bring you more into a settled state.
And if you don't,
If you don't feel this right away,
Go ahead,
Do it again.
Check out some other tapping videos,
Align the statements to be more with you.
Now you know these tapping points.
When we do this together,
We're creating a collective energy to feel better in our bodies,
To be more emotionally capable and intelligent,
To honor ourselves and continue to grow.
Thank you so much for showing up for yourself and practicing with me.
Namaste.
