EFT Tapping Meditation For Anxiety & Stress

Welcome to this guided EFT tapping practice, where we combine somatic and cognitive techniques to support relief from anxiety and stress. EFT tapping targets specific acupressure points while bringing awareness to your thoughts and feelings. By pairing tapping with compassionate, grounding statements, you can begin to shift your body's response to distress.

In this session, we’ll focus on anxiety, starting by identifying what you’re feeling in the moment and rating its intensity on a scale from 0 to 10, which will help you track changes as you move through the exercise.

Welcome to this guided tapping exercise where we combine both somatic and cognitive elements to help manage anxiety, Depression, Phobias, Cravings, And symptoms of PTSD. This method involves tapping on specific points on the body, Similar to those used in acupuncture, While focusing on distressing thoughts or emotions. The goal is to disrupt the energy of looping thoughts and beliefs by using pressure points and pairing it with a compassionate statement. This can help rewire your reaction to that stressful thought or experience going forward. Let's begin. Start to find a comfortable seated position. I have a cushion underneath my seat. And then just lower your gaze, Looking down and forward. And start to notice what's already here. Maybe taking a body scan, Starting at the top of your head, Traveling all the way down to your feet. Notice where anxiety may show up for you. Notice where there's tension and ease. And start to rate your anxiety on a scale of zero to 10. Zero being none at all, And 10 being the most anxious you've ever felt. And we'll combine our tapping exercise today with a self-compassion statement. Even though I'm feeling anxious, I fully and deeply accept myself. We'll move through each pressure point, Saying that statement out loud three times, And taking a deep breath in between each pressure point. And starting to bring your attention to your breath. And we take a deep inhale in, And open your mouth, Let it go. Inhale, Breathe in, Fill up. Exhale, Side out. Let's take one more big belly breath in, And let it go.
