Welcome to this tapping for sadness.
As I spoke about earlier,
Sadness is the overarching emotion with many other emotions underneath it.
But let's start with the overarching emotion so we know where to go in.
So first and foremost,
I want you to just close your eyes.
Take a nice big deep breath in and let it go.
Settling into your body.
And I want you to bring up a situation.
An event in your current life or in the past.
It has really made you feel sad.
And even as we talk about feeling sad,
It's amazing how that feeling can just be pulled up.
So just.
.
.
Noticing that sadness in your body,
Locating where that sadness lives.
And just being curious.
It can live anywhere in the body.
There's no right or wrong answer.
So just locating sadness.
And in this very moment right here,
Zero being no disturbance,
10 being the highest.
Just go ahead and rate that right now before we start.
And you can open your eyes again.
And we'll begin to tap on the side of the hand.
Even though I feel this sadness in my body.
I deeply and completely Love and accept myself.
Even though this sadness is a familiar feeling.
Related to maybe a person.
Or a situation.
I deeply and completely love,
And accept myself.
All of this feeling.
Of sadness.
In my body.
I deeply and completely love,
And accept myself.
As I tune into sadness.
I realize how familiar.
This feeling is.
Honoring and allowing this experience of sadness.
It is okay.
To feel sad.
Related.
To ourselves and others.
Sadness comes.
And sadness goes.
I honor this sadness that I am feeling.
It is okay.
To have this human experience.
Of sadness.
Being curious.
About the release.
That tears may bring.
With sadness.
All of this sadness in my body.
Okay.
As I honor and recognize.
This sadness.
I also choose.
To let parts of it go.
I can honor the human experience of sadness.
It is okay to be sad.
Is it also okay?
Choose to release it.
I release the sadness now.
I feel the room.
That that creates within my body.
As the sadness fades.
I can take a deeper breath.
I can love the parts of me that are sad.
While also loving the parts of me.
That are okay.
In this moment.
Sadness is very normal.
I notice the sadness wave in.
And the sadness wave out.
I acknowledge the sadness.
And in acknowledging it.
I choose to release it.
I choose peace.
And balance.
I feel my body relax.
I accept myself for how I am.
And what I feel.
Now taking a nice big deep breath in.
And again,
Letting it go with a sigh.
Might help to close your eyes again.
And just tune back into that sensation of sadness.
Just being curious about whether anything has shifted or changed.
Perhaps it has,
Perhaps it hasn't,
Not judging it either way.
And as we tune back into that feeling,
Go ahead and read it again on a scale of zero to ten.
Zero being no disturbance,
Ten being the highest.
And feel free to do a few more rounds of this as needed.
To release that sensation of sadness.
