Hello and welcome to your EFT tapping meditation for anxiety.

If you've done tapping before,

You know that there are many different tapping points and you can use any points that you like.

We live in a world where it's very common to feel anxious.

There's a lot going on in the world that we can't control.

And while anxiety does not feel good,

You can use it as a reminder.

When you feel anxious,

It means that you're either living in the past or in the future.

You can use it as a reminder to come back into this present moment.

Remember that no matter what's going on around you,

Either in your own world or in the outer world,

You can find a place of calm and peace inside of you.

In this exercise,

As we tap on different points,

Simply repeat out loud the words that I say.

If you're in a place where you can't speak out loud,

It's okay to say it inside of your head.

Before we get started,

I'd like you to tune into your feelings of anxiety.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Where in your body do you feel the anxiety?

On a scale of one to 10,

One being the least and 10 being the most,

How anxious are you feeling right now?

Go ahead and jot that number down.

Also notice any other thoughts or emotions that are coming up for you.

For example,

Maybe you're feeling some fear or resentment or anger.

Perhaps you have a thought,

Words or a phrase that are coming to mind.

As an example,

I feel anxiety in my chest.

It's an eight.

Go ahead and jot all of those thoughts and feelings down and rate them on that same scale of one to 10.

We're going to start on the karate chop point.

That point is right on the side of the hand.

You can start tapping with one or two fingers on the side of the hand.

And while you do this,

I want to be sure that you're taking deep breaths.

So tapping on the side of the hand there,

Take a deep breath in and repeat after me.

I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

I notice what you're feeling and thinking as you say this.

Does it feel true?

How true does it feel on that scale of one to 10?

One being the least true,

10 being the most true.

Let's keep going.

We're going to start tapping through the points.

So again,

Choose any points that you like.

I'm starting with the eyebrow point.

Taking a deep breath in.

There's a lot going on in the world right now.

And sometimes I feel completely overwhelmed.

My body feels like it's always in fight or flight mode.

I feel overwhelmingly anxious.

I feel it in my physical body.

Sometimes I feel jittery or shaky.

It's hard for me to sleep.

It's hard for me to rest.

I feel like I want to run away,

But I can't.

There's nowhere to go.

And so right here,

Right now,

I acknowledge these feelings in my body.

And I want you to tune into whatever part of your body that's feeling anxious.

Where are you feeling the anxiety?

I feel it in my.

.

.

And go ahead and fill in the blank.

I feel it in my chest.

I feel it in my belly.

I feel it in my left eye.

I feel so much anxiety in my.

.

.

Fill in the blank.

And I acknowledge that.

I didn't even really notice it until now.

I wasn't aware.

I want to let this feeling go.

I know that it doesn't help me,

But I don't know how.

So I remind myself that I'm safe.

I'm protected.

I'm guided.

I'm fully supported.

I'm heard.

I'm seen.

I'm valued.

I can't control what's happening in the world outside of me.

I can control what's happening in the world inside of me.

I deserve to rest.

I deserve to relax.

I deserve to feel peace.

I deserve to feel safe.

I can control my reaction to the outer world.

I am deeply connected.

My intuition always guides me and keeps me safe.

I have a strong sense of peace.

I am strong.

I am wise.

I am resilient.

I am peace.

I am balanced.

I am harmony.

I am enough.

I am enough.

I have done enough.

I deserve to feel peace.

I'm perfect just the way that I am.

And I feel peace in this present moment.

Take a deep breath in.

And as you exhale,

I want you to tune in again to that feeling of anxiety.

How strong does it feel now on that scale of one to ten?

How much did the number go down?

Do the same thing with any other thought,

Feeling,

Or phrase that you wrote down before we started.

Rewrite them all on a scale of one to ten.

Notice how those numbers decreased.

If there's any particular part of this meditation where you feel very triggered,

Or if there's any particular thought or emotion that still feels very strong,

Very triggering,

Go back and repeat this meditation.

For best results,

You can repeat this meditation daily or whenever you're feeling anxious.

The more you practice,

The more you're able to alleviate the feelings of anxiety and tap into your feelings of peace.

Have a wonderful day.

This was amazing! The first time I listened, I had a huge emotional release, so I immediately listened a second. My number went from an 8 at the beginning of the first session to a 0 at the end of the second. Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I will definitely come back to this a lot!!
