Welcome,
Brave one.
This tapping meditation is about returning to calm and safety.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Sitting or lying down.
Allow your shoulders to drop.
Loosen your jaw.
Let your hands rest gently on your lap or over your heart.
Take a deep,
Slow breath in through your nose for 4,
3.
Too.
1,
Hold gently for 2,
1 and exhale softly through your mouth for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Feel your body start to settle.
Each exhale is a signal to your nervous system saying,
I am safe now.
As we move through this tapping practice,
Remember,
You don't have to force relaxation.
You are simply inviting your body to remember what peace feels like.
Bring your awareness to your body.
Notice where you might feel tension or alertness.
Maybe in your chest,
Your neck.
Your stomach.
There is no need to fix it,
Just notice.
And silently give this feeling a number from 0 to 10,
Where 10 is the highest intensity.
Now let's begin to tap.
Tap the side of your hand,
The karate chop point.
And repeat after me either out loud or in privacy of your own mind.
Even though my body feels tense and on alert.
I am open to the possibility of feeling calm and safe right now.
Even though my system is in fight or flight.
I honor how hard my body is working to protect me.
And even though I feel the stress in my body.
I deeply love and accept myself.
And I give my body permission to soften.
As we tap through the points,
We will connect with the breath.
We will inhale for four,
Hold for 2.
Exhale for 6.
Let your breathing be continuous and flowing like a gentle wave,
No strain,
No pause at the end of each exhale.
Start tapping on your eyebrow point.
My body feels like it needs to protect me.
Side of I.
I can feel this alertness,
This readiness to fight or flee.
Under eye.
It's okay.
My body is just trying to keep me safe.
Under nose.
I've been holding this stress for a while.
I am open to giving my body the signal that it is safe now.
Collarbone.
Right now,
In this moment,
I am safe.
Underarm.
I can let my body relax,
Even just a little.
Top of head.
With each breath.
I allow safety to return to my body.
And take a deep breath in for four.
Three.
2 1 Hold for 2 1 and exhale for 6 5 4.
Now place both your hands over your heart.
And again,
Breathing slowly through your nose for 4.
3.
2 1 Hold for 2 1 and exhale through your mouth for 6 5 4 3 Chill.
1.
Imagine your exhale releasing all the stress patterns.
Breathe in calm.
And breathe out tension.
Breathe in peace.
And breathe out fear.
Feel your breath becoming your anchor.
Steady.
Reliable.
Safe.
And now start gently tapping on your heart center.
With every breath,
My body remembers how to relax.
It's safe to let go now.
I am grounded.
I am safe.
I am here.
And return to tapping on your eyebrows.
I honor my body for protecting me.
Side of eye.
I appreciate how strong I am.
Under eye.
I choose peace over pressure.
Under nose.
I choose calm over chaos.
Chin.
I am returning to balance.
Collarbone,
I am safe in this moment.
Underarm.
It's safe for me to release what no longer serves me.
Top of head.
I am allowing peace,
Ease and safety to flow through every cell of my body.
Now take one last deep breath in through your nose for 4,
3,
2,
1 and hold for 2,
1 and exhale through your mouth for 6,
5,
4,
3,
2 and 1.
Feel your shoulders drop.
Feel the softness in your chest.
Feel the steadiness of your breath.
The calm rhythm of safety.
And now affirm out loud with me.
I am calm.
I am safe.
I trust my body's wisdom.
I am home within myself.
