Transcript

Welcome to this EFT practice to release anxiety. EFT or emotional freedom technique is also referred to as tapping or psychological acupressure. You tap on acupressure points which connect to the energy meridians within your body based on the Chinese medical system. Studies have found that stress and fear responses significantly decrease in the brain when the meridian points are activated. It helps release anxiety within your body and brings back balance into your nervous system. As we go through the practice I will say a statement and then you will repeat it out loud to yourself as you tap on the point. Let's begin. Take a moment now to tune into your anxiety. You may be aware of what thoughts are present. Feeling of the sensations in your body. And rate the intensity of the anxiety you feel between 1 to 10. With 10 being the strongest and the most intense. Feel your body on the chair or ground below you. A sense of being held and supported in this moment. And bring your awareness to your breath and feel your body breathing. Let the focus of your breath be in your belly. Taking a deep breath into your belly. Breathing in through the nose and releasing and breathing out through the mouth. Take another deep breath in, Releasing and letting go. And one more. Breathing in and breathing out. And begin tapping on the side of your hand. It doesn't matter which side you tap on. And repeat the statements after me. Even though I experience anxiety, I deeply love and accept myself. Even though I experience fear, I deeply love and accept myself. Even though I may hold on to my past beliefs, I deeply love and accept myself. Tapping on the top of the head, I choose to love and accept the version of me who feels anxious. Tapping on the inner side of the eyebrow, I know that I'm okay. It's simply an emotion I'm experiencing. I choose to love and accept myself anyway. Tapping at the side of the eye, Even though I have all these anxious thoughts, I choose to acknowledge them and love myself anyway. Under the eye on the cheekbone, Even though I feel this anxiety in my body, I accept how I feel and know I'm okay. Under the nose, My body has been experiencing this anxiety. I acknowledge it now. At the chin, Under the bottom lip, I notice where I feel anxiety in my body. Tapping at the collarbones, I simply notice what I feel and the sensations. Tapping under the arm, Part of me has believed that this anxiety is keeping me safe, Safe from the things I feel. Coming back to the side of the hand, I can see now that this isn't supporting me. Top of the head, I choose now to see the anxiety and know that I am safe. Inner side of the eyebrow, I honor it and remind myself I am safe. Side of the eye, It is safe for me to release this feeling. Under the eye on the cheekbone, I am open to feeling lighter in my body. Under the nose, I know right here and now I'm okay. Chin, I'm aware of these anxious thoughts and it's okay to notice them. Collarbones, I can be aware of them and still allow myself to breathe through them. Under the arm, Typically they come from fear and my desire to be safe. Side of the hand, Fear and my desire to survive. Top of the head, Fear and my desire to be okay as a human being. Inner side of the eyebrow, Even with these anxious thoughts, I know that I am safe. Side of the eye, By acknowledging them, I honor myself and my experience. Under the eye, I'm open to feeling more calm and ease now. Under the nose, What if I could feel safe right now? Chin, It is safe for me to release the sensations in my body.

Inner eyebrow, I'm free to move from anxiety to peace. Side of the eye, I'm free to move from fear to trust. Under the eye, I know that I will be okay. Under the nose, I choose to feel safe. Chin, I choose to feel calm. Collarbones, I trust that I'm okay. Under the arm, I know that I am safe. Side of the hand, I make space for more calm and peace. Top of the head, I am enough.

Under the arm, I am supported by life. Side of the hand, I am safe. Release the tapping now and take a few deep breaths into your belly. Allowing that practice to integrate into your body. You might like to give your body a little shake or to take some stretches. See what feels right for you. And check in again and notice how you feel on the scale of one to ten. One being the calmest. Whatever you feel now is okay. You have started the process of calming your nervous system, Rewiring your brain and loving yourself during the process. If you feel like you need to tap again, You might like to go straight into another round of the practice. Or you can come back to it again tomorrow to reinforce the shift or whenever you need it.

Reviews

Very effective tapping track. I went from a 10 at the start of the track being very anxious to a 5 at the end. I loved Sacha's gentle and supportive guidance.
