Evening EFT Tapping Release: Slow Down To Sleep

This 11-minute guided EFT tapping session is designed for evenings when you feel wired, unsettled, or unable to let go of the day.

Moving through a calming tapping sequence, this practice works with the racing mind and body tension that can make it hard to switch off, helping you release the busyness, soften any stress held in the body, and ease into a grounded, restful state.

A useful practice for anyone who struggles to wind down at night, has trouble falling asleep, or simply needs support transitioning from a full day into rest.

Welcome to this evening tapping meditation designed to help you slow down and ground in the evening. We're going to use EFT tapping to release your day, Quieten your racing mind and relax the body. So getting comfortable now, Start tapping on the side of the hand, Also known as the karate chop point, Repeating after me either out loud or in your mind. Even though I've had such a big day, I'm feeling really unsettled, Like I just can't let go of the day and relax, But I acknowledge how I feel now and I choose to love and accept myself. Even though my mind is racing, I'm constantly thinking about the day behind me and the day ahead. I acknowledge this mind chatter with love now and I'm open to feeling more present. Even though I feel overly switched on, Wired and wide awake, I know I need to rest but it feels like there's so much to do. I choose now to take a moment to slow down and I love and accept myself. Taking the hands now to the top of the head, Tapping gently on the crown, Repeating after me, This racing mind, This busy day.
