Hello and welcome to your EFT for dealing with health anxiety.
My name is Casey and I will be leading you through this exercise today.
Before we begin,
Take a moment to assess where you are right now on a scale of 1 to 10.
10 being a lot of anxiety,
A lot of discomfort,
Perhaps even physical pain.
And then 1 being no pain,
No sensation,
You're okay.
Hopefully the idea is by the time we are finished with this exercise,
The number you started at will have moved down the scale.
And if not,
Don't worry.
Keep coming back to this practice.
Find yourself in a nice comfortable seat,
The crown of your head reaching towards the sky,
And your sitting bones firmly planted.
Take a few cycles of breath here,
Breathing in through your nose,
And a soft gentle exhale out through your lips.
Take two more breaths just like that,
Inhaling through your nose,
And a smooth soft exhale through your lips.
One last time,
Smooth inhale,
Gentle exhale.
Let us find our karate chop point on either hand.
It's in between the wrist and that long bone on the side of your hand,
On the pinky side.
Begin tapping there.
Our setup statement is,
Even though I may be feeling anxious about my health,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
And we'll say that two more times.
Even though I may be feeling anxious about my health,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I may be feeling anxious about my health,
I deeply and completely accept myself.
Tapping on the third eye,
I feel this anxiety in my chest,
My throat,
My hips,
Abdomen,
And tightness in my solar plexus.
Side eye.
Every time I think I have something wrong with me,
I start to get worried.
Under eye.
I think it means something serious may be wrong with me.
Under your nose.
It's all I can think about.
Chin.
These concerns are very real to me.
Collarbone.
I worry about my health constantly.
Underarm.
I worry about being a burden to my family.
Crown.
I feel like I may really be sick.
Pause for a moment.
Take a deep breath in.
Smooth exhale out.
Tapping on the third eye.
But what if I look at this differently?
Side eye.
What if I notice where I feel good?
Under eye.
Let me see the areas that are free from pain and discomfort in my body.
Under the nose.
I can find gratitude for what is right and what feels good.
Chin.
I can change how I view my symptoms.
Collarbone.
I can breathe into my sensations.
Underarm.
I can view my symptoms as areas that I need to improve.
Crown.
I can be grateful for what feels good.
Pause here.
Take another cycle of breath.
Inhaling through your nose.
An open mouth exhale.
Release.
Tapping again at the third eye.
I allow myself to accept whatever I feel.
Side eye.
I won't judge my feelings.
I will just observe.
Under eye.
I can welcome these feelings in and know my feelings and thoughts are temporary.
Under your nose.
I can change how I feel by asking if what I feel is true and where's my proof.
Chin.
I can dismiss thoughts that are not true.
Collarbone.
I can stay in the feelings of feeling good,
True thoughts.
Underarm.
The more positive the thought,
The better I feel.
Crown.
The more positive thoughts I have,
The more positive thoughts I generate.
Again,
Pause for a moment.
Take a nice deep breath in.
And a slow,
Smooth exhale out your lips.
Last round.
Third eye.
My good thoughts allow me to feel better.
Side eye.
I am not worrying about things out of my control.
Under eye.
I can focus my energy on feeling good and not worrying or stressing.
Under the nose.
Stress makes my body feel unhappy and unwell.
Chin.
My energy flows where my attention goes.
Collarbones.
I will use my energy to feel good.
I will not use my energy to worry.
Underarm.
I know there are things in my control to heal my own body.
Crown.
I release any worry and I put my trust in the universe.
Allow your hands to rest gently in your lap.
Take a few cycles of breath.
And notice if that number you started with,
Our most pressing issue,
Our anxiety about our health.
Notice if that number has moved down the scale.
So just take a moment.
See how you feel.
And if there's a change,
Congratulations.
And if there is no change,
That is okay.
Just keep coming back to this practice.
On your next inhale,
Reach your arms up and overhead.
And as you exhale,
Bring your hands down to your heart space along with all of that divine universal energy.
And that divine universal energy vibrates as the frequency of love through which you and I and all sentient beings are connected on this planet.
The light in me salutes and honors the light in you.
Namaste.
