Hello,

Claire here with the Tapping Almanac and saying yes to growth.

If you don't know the tapping points,

You can find them easily online or on my Tap into Your Power course here on Insight Timer.

Or you can simply tap on your sternum or even place one hand on your belly and one hand on your heart.

It all works.

What is most important is embodied focus.

So I invite you to begin with becoming present to this body,

In this moment,

In this place.

This is the best preparation you can do each time you tap,

Whether taking a breath or two or a few minutes to come into connection with yourself,

Making space for saying yes to growth.

Let's start by closing the eyes and lowering your attention,

Intention and focus from the head space to the belly space.

Now from the centre,

Allow every inhalation to fill every cell of your body with light and space.

Not just your lungs,

But light and space filling every cell.

Then each exhalation is a simple letting go,

Not a forcing or pushing,

But an allowing.

In-breath,

Space and light,

Growth and expansion.

Out-breath,

Letting go of that which no longer serves.

Becoming aware of the touch of your body with the earth,

Whichever body parts are literally touching the support of Mother Earth.

Allowing the out-breath to take that which no longer serves down deep into the earth,

Where Mother Earth will compost it for you or for somebody else.

And also allowing the knowledge that right now you are supported,

Imagining being cradled in the arms of Mother Earth with safety and nourishment.

Trusting these connections with your breath,

Your body and the earth.

Let's turn to the infinite possibility of the ethos,

Giving your body a little shake or stretch,

Realigning your spine and focus on the crown of your head and all infinite possibility and potential in the heavens above you.

From the heavens,

Through your crown,

To your heart and your belly,

Know that everything you need is already present for saying yes to growth.

But we tap because in our daily lives there are thoughts and feelings getting in the way.

Tapping clears those obuts so that you can expand,

So that I can expand.

So let's get clear on those obuts so that as we tap together you are present to your own circumstances.

Please take a moment to tune into anything that for you comes to mind when I say,

I can't grow because.

.

.

I can't grow because.

.

.

Listen to and trust the first thoughts and images that come to you.

There may be limiting beliefs like I'm not good enough or feelings like being scared.

It's not safe to grow.

You may be thinking of how those around you might react to your growth with envy or jealousy I can't grow because I'm not attractive enough,

Thin enough,

Fat enough,

Old enough,

Any of the enoughs.

I don't have time.

Too busy.

I don't know how.

It feels too much.

Who am I to want to grow?

Who am I to grow?

Put all your obuts,

Even if they're rough and not quite formed,

Into a bundle.

And then sense where that bundle sits on a scale of 0 to 10 where 10 stands for the most intense and 0 would be,

You wouldn't be tapping this audio with me now.

Trust your first thoughts.

And if no number appears,

That's okay too because you'll have a feeling.

So we do this because as we tap together on this audio,

I will be using words,

Some of which will work for you and some of which which are less meaningful.

But if you start with your own obuts,

Your own blocks to tapping for growth,

Saying yes to growth,

Then this tapping will work for your circumstances.

Because whatever comes up for you,

Know that it is all tappable.

You are allowed to grow,

To expand into your joy,

Your life's path,

Whatever you desire.

So let's tap together,

Repeating after me out loud,

If possible,

Or in your head.

And of course,

You can always choose to put one hand on your head,

On your belly,

One hand on your heart,

Tapping on the side of your hand and saying after me,

Even though part of me wants to say yes to growth,

I feel inhibited.

I love and accept myself,

Even though I'd love that feeling of expansion and confidence.

There is something stopping me.

I love and accept myself.

Even though growth sounds exciting.

What about my fears?

Others judgments?

All the things in the way.

I love and accept myself.

Then tap with me,

Please,

Around the points.

Crown of the head.

All these feelings.

Eyebrow point.

All these thoughts.

Side of the eye.

All these beliefs.

Under the eye.

I can't grow.

Under the nose.

I'm not allowed to grow.

Chin.

Too scary.

Sternum.

Too unfamiliar.

Under the arm.

They'll tear me down.

Liver point,

Which is the point just under the boobies.

They'll shoot me down.

Crown of the head.

Eyebrow point.

Not safe to put my head above the parapet.

Eyebrow point.

Not safe to shine.

Side of the eye.

Not safe to expand.

Under the eye.

I know what feeling small feels like.

Under the nose.

It works.

Chin.

But there are things I want to do.

And B,

There's a bigger sternum.

Oh,

But.

.

.

Under the arm.

I don't have time.

Liver point.

I don't know how.

Crown of the head.

Too scary.

Eyebrow point.

Easier to keep saying no.

Side of the eye.

But I want to grow.

Under the eye.

I have things I want to do.

Nose.

I have things I want to be.

Chin.

I want to say yes to growth.

Sternum.

Perhaps I can.

Let's stay on the sternum.

Perhaps it is safe for me to grow.

Perhaps I am ready to say yes to growth.

Under the arm.

I have so much to offer.

Liver point.

And just tap for some of your own brilliant qualities,

Like your intelligence,

Your ideas,

Your empathy,

Your brilliance,

Your imagination,

Your desires,

Your skills.

Crown of the head.

I want to do this.

Eyebrow point.

Saying yes to growth.

Side of the eye.

Under the eye.

Saying yes to expanding what I am and can be.

Under the eye.

Saying yes to growth.

Under the nose.

I can do this.

Chin.

I can ask for support if I need it.

Sternum.

Saying yes to growth.

I choose to say yes to growth.

Beautiful.

Now you can carry on with your Obuts or your images of what you will be like when you say yes to growth.

But let's for now come together with one hand on the belly,

One hand on the heart.

And I want you to take a breath.

Just tune into how you're feeling.

Has your level come down on that scale of 0 to 10?

Mine was a 6.

It's come down to a 2.

If not,

Don't worry.

You just tune into what's right for you.

You tap on your Obuts,

Your blocks.

If yes,

Fantastic.

Great.

So please now join me in a visualization.

Imagine you are standing somewhere beautiful.

Real or imaginary.

Imagine you are standing proud.

Visible and full of joy.

Maybe you do a dance or take time in stillness to experience this feeling.

Now see a path in front of you which leads to somewhere you want to be very much.

This may be a real life goal.

It may be a feeling state.

That's my growth ahead of me.

It's all good.

Have you got it?

You are ready to take the first step.

Thank you so much for tapping with me.

I wish you the very best and look forward to tapping with you next time in this Tapping Almanac.

Till then,

Be well.
