Hi loves,
This is KC.
So go ahead and find a comfortable seat either cross-legged on the floor or maybe in your bed.
Gently closing down the eyes if you haven't already.
Taking a deep breath in through the nose and exhale side out.
In your mind's eye,
Bring in a scale from 0 to 10.
10 being the most stressed that you're feeling.
Really shallow breath.
And 0 being calm and clear.
Deep breaths are no problem at all.
Feel into a number that naturally arises.
Gently open up the eyes when you're ready or keep them closed if that feels more comfortable.
We'll go ahead and tap with the side of the hand at the karate chop point.
You can repeat after me.
Even though I feel all the stress in my body,
I choose to relax now.
Even though it's hard for me to breathe deeply and fully,
I still love and accept myself.
Tapping on top of the head and take a deep breath in.
Exhale side out through the mouth.
Tapping at the eyebrow point,
All this constricted breathing.
Tapping in the side of the eye,
All the stress.
Under the eye,
It's hard for me to breathe deeply.
Under the nose,
I feel all the stress in my body.
Under the mouth,
I feel all this tension in my chest.
Underneath the collarbones,
I sense all this overwhelm on my mind.
Under the ribcage,
And it doesn't feel comfortable.
Underneath the armpit,
But I'm open to some relief now.
Tapping on the wrist,
I'm willing to let it go.
Tapping on top of the wrist,
So I can feel better.
Tapping on top of the head,
And breathe easier.
On the eyebrow,
It's safe for me to let go of my worries.
Inside of eye,
I'm allowing myself to breathe fully.
Under eye,
I'm allowing myself to breathe easily.
Under nose,
It is safe for me to be calm and present now.
Under the mouth,
Maybe a part of me says no.
Collarbone,
I need this stress as a motivator.
Under the ribcage,
I need this tension as a reminder.
Under the armpit,
But I'm open to better means of inspirations.
On the wrist,
I can take positive actions from a place of empowerment.
On top of the wrist,
I know I will be more effective coming from a calm place.
Top of head,
I will have more clarity.
Eyebrow,
I will have more creative solutions.
Side of eye,
And I'll also feel much better.
Under eye,
And that sounds like a win-win situation.
Under nose,
It sounds like a much better plan.
Under mouth,
So I'm willing to let this stress go now.
Collarbones,
I'm allowing the tension to melt away.
Ribcage,
I'm teaching my body how to relax.
Under arm,
And I'm choosing to breathe deeper and fuller.
Wrist so I can invite in more clarity.
Top of wrist,
And feel much better in the process.
Tapping on top of the head.
No need to repeat after me,
But simply take a deep breath in through the nose all the way from the root to the crown.
Pause,
Open your mouth,
Sigh it out.
Gently stop tapping,
Resting your hands in your lap.
Returning back to your breathing pattern,
Your breathing cycle,
Feeling what you feel,
Sensing what you sense.
Perhaps the body feels calmer,
The mind is slowing down,
Your breath is growing deeper and deeper.
Next exhale,
Dropping the weight further into your seat,
Allowing the earth to support you fully here.
Then in your mind's eye,
Bring in that same scale once again.
Just check from a scale of 0 to 10,
10 being complete overwhelmed stress and constricted breathing.
0 is calm,
Clear,
Deep breaths.
Where would you say you're at right now?
If your number is lower than the first number that came through,
Congratulations.
If the number is still higher than you'd like,
You're welcome to repeat this tapping meditation and perhaps sitting in silence or with some music afterwards,
Tuning into the breath,
Noticing what comes up during or after the tapping as those might be bigger blocks that are keeping you from feeling at home with peace and ease and flow.
Slowly whenever you're ready,
You can gently open up the eyes,
Soft gaze in the room that you're in and welcome back.
