My name is Kari.
For this meditation,
We're going to just take a few minutes to sit down together and do a process that's really simple.
It's a modified EFT process.
It's modified so that it's simple and you can follow along really easily without having to see an example.
The aim of the meditation is to help you to reduce stress.
So the EFT part,
The tapping part,
Will help to lower cortisol levels in your body so that the stress doesn't cause so much damage.
We're going to address the stress,
Sit with it,
And then relieve it.
So when you're ready,
Sit nice and comfortable with your back straight.
If you're left-handed,
You'll be tapping under your right collarbone.
And what I mean by that,
You take your first two fingers and start to just gently tap along the collarbone.
Use a medium pressure when you're tapping underneath the collarbone.
You'll find a sweet spot,
A place where it feels nicer than the other places,
Where it's almost soothing to just gently tap that area.
That's when you know you're in the right place.
And if you're right-handed,
You'll use your first two fingers on your right hand and gently tap underneath your left collarbone.
Find the sweet spot and then just rhythmically,
At a comfortable beat,
A comfortable pace,
Start to tap with a little bit of firmness,
Not too hard,
Not too soft.
Just play around until you find the perfect porridge,
Just like Goldilocks.
And when you find the sweet place,
Stay there and just rhythmically tap on that area.
This is just one of the nine points in EFT.
We're just going to stay right here.
We're not going to go into all the other ones.
Gently tapping in the same place.
Close down your eyes and start to slow down your breathing.
Nice and calm breathing.
The pace of your breath needs to also be in that sweet space where you're not trying to breathe in for too long or breathe out for too long,
Where you're straining your breath.
Just find a sweet,
Gentle in and out.
Check in and feel what these different sensations in your body feel like.
The tapping and the slow pace of your breath.
Just be quiet for a moment and feel them.
Pay close attention to your abdomen.
Notice if your tummy's starting to soften and relax.
Try and just focus on your breath and the tapping.
Let go of any outside thoughts about anything else.
Just breathe and be in your body,
In the sensations.
Relax your shoulders.
See if you can start to just let go of some of that tension in the back of your neck and your shoulders.
I'm going to make some statements.
I'll pause after each statement so that you can say them internally or say them out loud.
Try both and see which feels best.
I feel really stressed right now.
My body feels tight.
I've let myself get overwhelmed again.
My mind just keeps reeling.
I feel really stressed.
What we are doing while we're making these statements is we're allowing ourselves to face the way that we feel.
We're addressing our feelings.
We're doing this though while we're tapping and the tapping is creating a sense of ease in our body.
It's helping our nervous system.
So even though we're making these statements,
We're not letting ourselves feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.

We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the way that we feel.
We're allowing ourselves to feel the silence and the peace and the feelings created inside from the tapping.
Just sit in it,
Bathe in it for a few minutes.
Namaste my friend.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes to complete your meditation.
