When life feels uncertain, the instinct to hold on tightly — to control, to grasp, to figure it all out — can feel overwhelming. But beneath that fear is a deeper current that always invites you to soften. This tapping ritual will gently guide you back into trust, helping your body release resistance and open to the magic of surrender. Through breath, tapping, and energetic visualization, you’ll reconnect with the wisdom that lives within you — the wisdom that knows how to let go, be held, and trust the unfolding. Let yourself remember: you don’t have to do it all alone.

There are times in life when we find ourselves clinging to certainty,

To outcomes,

To what we think we need in order to feel safe.

But beneath all of that grasping there is a deep current,

Always inviting us to soften,

To surrender,

To trust.

This tapping ritual will guide you into that space where fear begins to dissolve and your body remembers how to rest in the wisdom of the unknown.

If you are new to tapping,

You can listen to my track called What is EFT Tapping and How It Works to learn about the nine points and how to tap through them.

As we begin,

I want to invite you to call to mind an area of life where you're trying to cling tight to control,

Where there's a lot of fear and resistance coming up to letting go and surrendering.

As you call that to mind,

Notice the fear of letting go of control or the resistance to it.

And if you were to know where is that fear,

This resistance to surrendering in your body right now,

Notice the feeling,

Notice how it feels.

And as we start tapping,

Stay really attuned to that feeling and notice how it shifts and changes and begins to flow.

We'll start by tapping on the side of hand point as you take a slow,

Gentle breath in through your nose and out through your mouth as you let it go,

My love,

Repeating after me.

Even though life sometimes feels overwhelming and uncertain,

I release the fears that are no longer serving me.

I courageously trust the unknown because I know that I am divinely supported.

Beautiful,

My love.

Another slow breath in through the nose and out through the mouth as you start tapping through the points at your own pace and rhythm.

Even when everything feels uncertain,

I trust that I am moving in the right direction.

I release the fear of letting go and I choose to trust.

I trust that I am safe.

I trust that I am supported.

I trust that everything is going to be okay.

Everything is going to be okay.

It is safe to surrender to the unknown.

It is safe to let go of control.

It is safe to feel the infinite support of the universe.

I desire a life that is greater than I could even imagine.

And I surrender to the uncertainty so that it can unfold for me.

As I release,

I receive.

I am ready for all that is ready for me.

Let your hand float to your lap.

Slow down here and breathe with your eyes closed.

Letting that energy move and flow and shift.

You can even notice how the energy of the fear or the resistance has already shifted or changed within your body.

And as you notice that,

Now notice what it would feel like to surrender to the same divine flow of life that keeps the planets in orbit and the seasons continuing to cycle.

What would it feel like to surrender to that same divine flow of life?

Visualize that in your mind's eye.

If you're not a visual person,

Imagine feeling what it would feel like in your body.

And we're going to start tapping again while staying really attuned to that expansive feeling.

Starting back on the eyebrow point again.

I am willing to let go of control.

I release resistance.

I open my heart and embrace the courage of being vulnerable.

Surrendering to the unknown is vulnerable.

It is safe for me to feel how that feels.

I surrender to the divine and wise flow of life.

I trust that I am being guided and supported.

Even when I'm scared,

I know that I am safe.

Beautiful,

My love.

Slow down again here as you let your hand float to your lap and close your eyes.

Allowing your awareness to drop into your heart space as you imagine a beautiful bright light shining right there within your heart center.

And imagine tiny little roots of that light energy beginning to grow down out of your heart space.

Growing down,

Down through the lower half of your body,

Down to your feet,

Through your feet,

Through the bottoms of your feet,

Growing down,

Down,

Down.

Until they connect with the dirt and the soil beneath you and the space that you're in.

And as they reach the earth,

They begin to grow rapidly,

Quickly,

Growing longer and faster.

Like the roots of a tree,

They know their way through the dirt,

The soil,

The sand of the earth.

And they grow larger and longer,

Rooting you and grounding you in and connecting you with the energy of the earth.

Feel that.

Feel your energy traveling down through the roots and connecting you to the energy of the earth.

And feel the energy of the earth traveling up through those roots and connecting with your heart.

Holding this feeling,

This connection,

As we tap through this next round,

Starting back again on the eyebrow point.

I am rooted.

I am safe.

I am present within myself.

I am centered.

The energy of the earth flows through me.

My mind,

Body,

And soul are balanced.

I trust that I am on the right path.

My intuition is always guiding me.

Beautiful my love,

Once more,

Let your hand float to your lap,

Close your eyes,

Take a few slow,

Deep breaths in and out as that energy continues to flow and move and shift.

And as we prepare to move through our final round of tapping,

Gently bring your awareness back here to your heart space,

To that beautiful light and those roots growing down into the earth.

And now I want you to imagine tiny little roots made of that same light and energy beginning to grow up,

Out of the top of your heart space.

Traveling through the upper half of your body,

Leaving through the crown,

The top of your head.

And as they meet the air and the space around you,

They begin to grow rapidly,

Growing larger and longer,

Moving up,

Up,

Up into the space all around you.

As they travel and move through earth's atmosphere,

Reaching the edge of earth's atmosphere,

Traveling further,

Traveling higher,

Traveling further and further away until they meet and connect with infinite space,

With the cosmos,

With the infinite expansiveness of the universe.

These roots of energy and light connecting you with the infiniteness of the cosmos and the universe and the cosmos at large,

Connecting with you through these roots.

May you stay attuned to that feeling,

That connection as we tap through this final round,

Starting once more on the eyebrow point.

I am expansive.

I am infinite.

I am divine.

The energy of the universe flows through my veins.

I choose to live my life with the courage of an infinite soul.

I choose to live my life with the wisdom of an eternal being.

As I let go,

I allow myself to be held by the expansive love of the universe.

Beautiful love.

Let your hand float to your lap.

Close your eyes and take several slow,

Expansive breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth,

Just feeling into this moment,

Feeling into your body and your energetic field,

The space within and all around you,

Connecting with your heart space,

Your heart center,

And notice that feeling of fear,

Resistance to surrendering and letting go of control.

Notice how much it has shifted.

Notice this connection,

This feeling of safety and expansiveness and surrendering and letting go of control.

The resistance or the fear is not there to block you or to keep you from surrendering.

It's simply there as an opportunity to go deeper,

A reminder of the polarity of life,

The duality of life,

That we are able to embody and experience this fullness of surrendering and letting go of control.

And we are also able to attune to and experience the resistance to that.

So as you move through the coming days and weeks and months,

When you notice this resistance rising up,

This fear of letting go of control,

This need to try and control,

You're not doing anything wrong.

Allow that to be an indicator,

A reminder to you,

The universe reminding you that this power,

This energy of surrendering and letting go of control is already accessible to you.

And you now have this magical practice of tapping that you can use to really support your body and feeling safe in that and feeling embodied and aligned with that energy.

Go forth and experience the magic that today holds for you,

My beautiful friend.
