Hi,
It's Katie from Awaken Freedom.
Welcome to Tapping for Anxiety.
As always,
If you are taking full responsibility for your health and wellbeing if you tap along with the track,
Remember that if my words don't resonate for you,
Please change them to be your words.
Using your words will always be most powerful.
If we are tapping on a tight feeling in the chest for example,
And yours feels like a tension in your shoulders,
Speak over the top of me and change the words to be your own.
Tapping along can help to keep you focused and less likely for your mind to wander to the shopping list.
Remember sighing,
Yawning,
Crying,
Burping and shivering can all be good signs of release.
Remember to not tackle anything too big or too deep alone and to look after yourself.
As always,
Remember to rate your intensity now from 0 to 10,
0 being completely neutral and 10 being the highest intensity.
Let's jump in.
Even though I'm feeling all this anxiety,
It feels like I just can't get a breath.
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I'm feeling this tightness in my chest,
I just can't get a breath.
I deeply and completely accept myself.

It's like I just can't get a breath.

Coming up to eyebrow point,
It feels like I can't get a breath.
So do the eye.
I just can't get a breath under the eye.
I just can't get a breath under the nose.

This anxious feeling.
Collarbone.
I can feel it in my body under the arm.

Top of the head.
I'm just giving this anxious feeling a voice.
Eyebrow.
I don't have to do anything else with it.
Side of the eye.
I don't have to fix it or change it.
Under the eye.
I don't have to make it go away.
Under the eye.
Under the nose.
All I'm doing right now.
Chin point.
Is honoring the truth of how I feel.

It feels like I just can't get a breath under the arm.
Just lean into that feeling for me.
Top of the head.
Just noticing it now.
Eyebrow.
Just be with the feeling that you're feeling in your body right now.
Side of the eye.
Under the eye.
Just tapping through the points as you're noticing what's happening in your body.
Taking deep breaths as you do.
Under the nose.
Chin point.
Collarbone.
Under the arm.
Just really tuning into the feelings in your body.
Top of the head.
I can't get a breath.
Pause there for a moment now.
Check in and see how you're feeling.
If you are feeling your tightness into your chest,
I encourage you to move on to this next round.
If you are still feeling like you can't get a breath in or you can't take a deep enough breath,
Continue to focus on that.
However,
If you are feeling like you have a tightness in your chest or you're having another physical symptom or sensation in your body,
It could be a heaviness in your shoulders,
A dropping feeling in your stomach,
We're going to focus on that physical sensation now.
I want you to use the words that feel right for you.
Coming back to side of the hand,
Even though I have this tightness in my chest and you replace the words with the ones that work for you.
I deeply and completely accept myself anyway,
Even though I'm feeling really anxious and I have this tightness in my chest,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
One more time on side of the hand,
Even though I have this anxious feeling,
It feels like a tightness in my chest,
I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.
Coming up to eyebrow,
Now every time I use the new statement,
You can move to a new spot,
Moving around the points,
Even though,
Apologies,
We're up to eyebrow,
This tightness in my chest,
I'm just noticing it now.
I don't have to do anything with it.
I don't have to fix it or change it.
I don't have to make it go away.
This anxious feeling,
It feels like a tightness in my chest.
I'm just giving this feeling a voice.
This anxious feeling,
It feels like a tightness in my chest.
I'm feeling really anxious.
I'm just noticing that now.
Just noticing how it feels in my body.
This anxious feeling.
I'm feeling really anxious.
Taking a few deep breaths,
Keep tapping and I just want you to tune into that feeling in your body.
Just tuning into that feeling of anxiety,
Noticing how you feel it in your body as you're gently tapping around the points.
Taking notice of how fast you're tapping.
Make sure you're tapping slowly enough to help you start to regulate yourself and not tapping too fast.
This tightness in my chest.
This tightness in my chest.
I'm feeling really anxious.
I have this tightness in my chest.
This anxious feeling.
Take a pause there.
We're going to do an example round on a common thing that happens to people when they're feeling anxious is that their thoughts might be racing and they're trying to get their brain to slow down so they can think clearly.
And whilst we're tapping,
We're doing that,
But we're also going to do a round on these racing thoughts.
If it suits you better to continue to keep tapping through things that we've already tapped through,
Please continue to use your words over the top of mine.
Side of the hand,
Even though my thoughts are racing,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though my thoughts are racing,
I acknowledge that this is how I feel.
Even though I am so anxious and my thoughts are racing,
I can't think straight.
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Coming up to eyebrow now.
My thoughts are racing.
These racing thoughts.
My mind is going so fast.
These racing thoughts.
My mind is racing with all of these thoughts.
My mind is racing with all of these thoughts.
I'm just noticing how that feels.
I don't have to fix it or change it.
I don't have to stop it.
I don't have to make it go away right now.
Just acknowledging it.
I'm just giving it a voice.
These racing thoughts.
I'm just acknowledging that that's how I feel right now.
That's what's happening for me.
I'm feeling really anxious.
I have all these racing thoughts.
My thoughts are racing.
These racing thoughts I have.
My mind is going so fast.
I have all these racing thoughts.
Stop a moment now and check in.
I want you,
As always,
At the end of a round to check in on your sub level.
Notice where it's at.
Keep tapping if you need to.
You can always replay the track to listen in again.
Continue tapping using your own words.
Remember to replay if you need to until the intensity comes down.
We want to continue on the negative until we're really feeling like the intensity is down to about a two or less.
That way we know we're ready to move on to the next aspect or the next piece that's coming up for you.
What we really want to do is get that negative or the hard part down.
That's what we're aiming for here to get you back to neutral and back to feeling where you can start making some decisions and be able to function and move forward.
Noting too that if your intensity shifts or something changes,
You can always create a new setup statement highlighting what you're most aware of now and tap from there.
