Transcript

Hello and welcome to your EFT practice for sadness.

My name is Casey and I will be leading you during this exercise today.

Before we begin,

Take a moment to find a comfortable seat,

Feeling your sitting bones rooted beneath you and the crown of your head reaching towards the sky.

Stay here and take a few cycles of breath,

Becoming still.

Gently breathe in through your nose and a slow smooth exhale through your lips.

Take two more breaths just like that,

Inhaling slowly and fully through the nose and a slow smooth exhale through the lips.

One last time,

Inhaling slowly and smoothly and exhaling gently through the lips.

As we start,

Take a moment here to assess where you are on a scale of one to ten for your sadness.

Ten being extreme sadness and one being none at all.

And if you find yourself anywhere,

Five,

Six,

Seven,

Eight or nine,

The goal is to hopefully by the end of this practice move that number down the scale so the intensity is a little less.

We will begin with our setup statement.

Finding the karate chop point on the outside edge of the pinky side of your hand,

Somewhere between the wrist bone and the top of the pinky finger bone and just tap there gently with the opposite hand.

I will guide you to where we are tapping.

Just breathe and listen to my voice and if it makes sense to you to repeat the phrase please do so.

Even though I am feeling extreme sadness,

I honor how I feel.

And we say that statement three times total.

Tapping the karate chop point.

Even though I am feeling extreme sadness,

I honor how I feel.

On an exhale allow your hands to rest gently in your lap.

Take another breath into your nose.

Slowly release out the mouth.

Before we close take a moment to assess where you are on that scale of one to ten.

Ten being extremely sad.

One being no sadness.

And just notice if anything has shifted or changed inside of you.

If you find the number has moved down the scale and you feel some relief,

Wonderful.

If not,

No worries.

Just keep coming back to this practice.

Understand that this is not a one-and-done kind of thing.

Healing takes time and patience.

On your next inhale reach your arms up and overhead.

And as you exhale bringing down all of that divine universal energy to your heart center.

And that 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.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be of service.

Have a great day.

Thank you, KC. You encourage me to allow these feelings of sorrow to “be” and to flow through me. I appreciate this awareness more than you know. Be well—Linda

Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful meditation.
You’ve made a positive difference in my day and I appreciate you 🌸

I was a 10 on the sadness scale and completely overcome by it. This EFT completely shifted me to a 4. This works! Thank you!

I have been sort of unconsciously tapping in my own as a release and this specific practice was truly helpful! Thank you! ☺️

I loved how you helped shift the emotion towards the positive while allowing space and honor for the sadness.

So powerful. I will be coming back to this practice. I went from an 8 to a 5. Thank you 😊

I hadn’t tried tapping before and I’m not sure if it was the kind reassuring words or the tapping (probably both) but I definitely feel a slight shift. Will return again. Thankyou 🙏🏻

Awesome!
Much Gratitude.. the shift of energy is evident ..and I definitely will return,( work in progress) truly healing rescue.

Thank you for this practice. I am new to tapping and that was quite helpful. Brought me from a 7 to a 3. Much gratitude to you. ❤️

Thank you for this really awesome practice which I always come back to when I need it. It feels so much clearer after, ♥️♥️♥️💚💚💚

This guidance was truly helpful! I’ve been feeling some stuck generalized sadness, which was souring into irritability. This session was a great relief. 🙏very much.

Wowwww, did I need that! A thousand thanks for helping me shed that heaviness 🤍

KC, thank you so much. I went from a 5 to a 2. Such a wonderful script ‘I honour my sadness’ and ‘it’s ok to be sad , it’s not ok to unpack and live there’ to name but a few. Thank you.

Thank you
