Welcome and thanks for joining me in this EFT tapping meditation to heal from a breakup.

I'm Annie Moussou,

A certified EFT tapping master practitioner.

Going through a breakup can be traumatic.

Like the death of a loved one,

Breakups can cause overwhelming and enduring grief.

This topic has many aspects to tap on,

But we can start reducing the intensity of the grief right now.

Let's take a deep breath.

Focus on the grief and loss of the relationship.

What physical tension do you feel arising?

Where is it in your body?

Perhaps you feel some tension in your heart or back.

Wherever it is,

Take a moment to acknowledge the tension.

On a scale of 0 to 10,

10 being the highest,

What's the level of intensity of this tension?

Keep that number in mind or write it down.

It'll be a way to measure your progress.

If you're new to tapping,

Know that it's normal to yawn,

Burp,

Laugh,

Or cry during EFT.

You might feel the tension moving from one place to another.

Negative emotions and memories may surface.

In general,

You'll feel relaxed.

These are signs that stress is being released from your body and EFT is working.

If you're heavily traumatized,

Please don't do this meditation on your own.

If at any time you feel overwhelmed,

Please stop the meditation and tap silently until you feel calmer.

Let's use four fingers of one hand and tap firmly on the side of the other hand.

It's the fleshy side of your hand between your pinky finger and your wrist.

As you tap continuously,

Repeat after me and personalize the words as you wish.

Even though my heart is broken,

Because this relationship is over,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though I feel so sad,

This relationship is over,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though I feel this grief in my body,

I miss being in this relationship,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Then tap on the top of your head,

Right in the center,

And say,

My heart is broken.

Move to the beginning of your eyebrow,

Above your nose,

Using just two fingers for the smaller spaces.

Tap while you say,

I feel so sad.

Tap on the side of your eye,

It's on the bone,

Bordering the outside of your eye,

This heavy feeling in my body.

Tap under your eye,

On the bone,

Directly under your eye,

The relationship is over.

Under your nose,

Between your nose and upper lip,

This grief and loss.

Under your mouth,

Right under your bottom lip,

My heart is broken.

Collarbone point,

Right under your collarbone,

About three inches from the center,

I miss being with this person.

Finally,

Tap under your arm,

On the side of the body,

About four inches below your armpit,

It hurts so much.

Take a deep breath,

Let's keep tapping.

Tap on the side of your hand and say,

Even though I don't think I can love someone else,

The way I loved my ex,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though,

I'll never find love again,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though,

No one else will ever love me like they did,

I deeply and completely accept myself.

Tap on the top of your head,

I don't think I can love someone else.

Eyebrow,

The way I loved my ex.

Side of your eye,

We were so close.

Under your eye,

I've never been so vulnerable.

Under your nose,

I'll never find love again.

Under your mouth,

No one else will ever love me like they did.

Collarbone,

It's hard to find the right person.

Under your arm,

I acknowledge how I feel.

Take a deep breath,

Tap on the side of your hand and say,

Even though I feel the pain of all these missed opportunities,

I wish we could have stayed together.

I love and accept myself.

Even though,

We could have had a happy life together,

I love and accept myself.

Even though,

We'll never spend holidays together again,

I love and accept myself anyway.

Tap on the top of your head,

All these missed opportunities.

Eyebrow,

Good times that we could have shared.

Side of your eye,

All gone.

Under your eye,

We were supposed to have a future together.

Under your nose,

Under your nose,

The holidays that we'll never share again.

Under your mouth,

It's ruined.

Collarbone,

I wanted this future with them.

Under your arm,

I wish we could have stayed together.

Take a deep breath,

Tap on the side of your hand and say,

Even though I tried to make things work and it still didn't work out,

I accept how I feel.

I appreciate the good times we shared.

Even though,

There were red flags.

Maybe a part of me knew it wasn't going to work out.

Maybe I expected too much out of the person.

I did the best I knew how.

I love and forgive myself.

Even though,

I'm disappointed.

I wonder if we could have done things differently.

I accept how I feel.

I'm learning how to let go what no longer serves me.

Tap on the top of your head,

I try to make things work.

Eyebrow,

It still didn't work out.

Side of your eye,

There were red flags.

Under your eye,

Something felt off.

Under your nose,

If I had done things differently.

Under your mouth,

Maybe we'd still be together.

Collarbone,

I appreciate the good times we shared.

Under your arm,

I love and forgive myself.

Take a deep breath,

Tap on the side of your hand and say,

Even though,

I'm still feeling some grief in my body.

I choose to release this tension.

I choose to have compassion for myself.

I choose to keep all the good from the relationship.

Even though,

There's still a heavy feeling in my heart.

I choose to take care of myself and let go of what no longer serves me.

I deeply and completely forgive myself.

Even though,

I still feel the sadness in my body.

I honor and respect how I feel.

I am worthy of love.

I'm worthy of healthy relationships.

I love and forgive myself.

Tap on the top of your head,

This remaining grief.

Eyebrow,

I trust that I'll be okay.

Side of your eye,

Releasing this tension.

Under your eye,

Keeping the good memories.

Under your nose,

Letting go of the sadness.

Under your mouth,

I'm loved and supported.

Collarbone,

I'm worthy of love and respect.

Under your arm,

I love,

Honor,

And respect myself.

Put your hands over your heart and take three deep breaths.

Let's check in with the physical tension associated with the grief that you evaluated at the beginning.

What's your level of intensity now?

Compare this number with your first number.

Feel free to visit this EFT tapping meditation again until you get a three or less.

Thank you. It was very powerful and very much needed

Thank you for guiding me through a deep and powerful release of pain and sadness 🙏🏻

All 4 sessions are recorded with great care and understanding. They are very helpful at any time of the day and at any state of mind. Thank you, Annie!

I’m going through a divorce right now and found this so incredibly helpful. There’s been so much grief I’ve been holding onto, and this helped me release it. I will definitely be revisiting this specific session again. Thank you! 🙏🏻

A well put together and paced session. The statements were relevant so I cried for most of it and got a reduction in tension and sadness. Thank you

Woooooow. That was amazing. I was feeling so full of grief but now I feel so calm. EFT is amazing and you are very skilled in facilitating! Thank you 🙏🏽💚

Beautiful! I am totally new to tapping, and still trying to understand how it works, but this meditation was definitely helpful in releasing grief from my recent breakup. Thank you!

Amazing! Wonderful feeling of relief and resolve. Thank you.🙏🏾

That was exquisite! I had some realizations that were subtle yet profound. I didn't want to accept - at first - that had *I* done something differently the relationship would have been different (I could only see their toxic habits), however, if I *had* done something different - like leave the relationship sooner - that *would* have made the relationship better (because I was half if that relationship (!)) - even if it meant ending it! 💡
