Hi,
And welcome to this tapping meditation to help clear anxiety and experience greater peace,
No matter what situation you're dealing with.
Before we tap,
Let's center in.
You'll make yourself comfortable in a seated position,
And close your eyes.
Now shrug your shoulders up towards your ears and tighten your muscles as you breathe in.
And drop your shoulders back down as you breathe out.
And now continue to breathe in through your nose and out through your nose if you're able to.
And let your breath find its own easy,
Comfortable rhythm.
And you might like to place a hand over your abdomen to feel the expansion of your belly with each in-breath,
And the way your belly settles back down again on your out-breath.
This is a time to release unwanted stress from your body,
Letting it flow down and out into the earth below you.
As we tap,
You will be signaling the amygdala in your brain,
Which handles the stress response,
That you are safe and can open to experiencing greater freedom and peace.
Now open your eyes if you choose,
And for a moment consider whatever situation is causing you to feel anxious at the moment.
And there may well be several things you're finding triggering,
But for this round of tapping,
Let's just pick one to focus on.
Now rate your anxiety in this moment on a scale of 0 to 10,
So that you can check in round by round and see if it has shifted.
By noticing bodily sensations associated with your anxiety,
Such as a tight chest or restricted breathing,
And tuning into them as we tap,
You will supercharge your results.
So let's begin tapping on the karate chop point,
And we say,
Even though I'm feeling anxious,
I'd like to love and accept myself anyway.
Even though this situation makes me feel overwhelmed and anxious,
I honor and accept myself for feeling this way.
Even though I'm feeling anxious and triggered,
I'm open to the possibility of feeling calm and confident.
Good.
Now let's go to the eyebrow point and we say,
This anxiety,
Side of the eye,
This tightness in my chest,
Under the eye,
I'm feeling triggered and overwhelmed by this situation.
Under the nose,
And I forgive myself for feeling this way.
Chin,
This anxious feeling.
Collarbone,
It feels out of my control.
Under the arm,
And I'm afraid of it getting worse.
Top of the head,
All these stressful thoughts about the future.
Collar point,
Clearing the stress from my system now.
Side of the eye,
Sending the signal to my brain.
Under the eye,
That it's safe for me to relax.
Under the nose,
Releasing these anxious thoughts and feelings.
Chin,
Clearing this stressful situation.
Collarbone,
Letting go of the overwhelm.
Under the arm,
Releasing anxiety and fear.
Top of the head,
I'm open to feeling relaxed and calm.
Great.
And now take a deep breath in and let it go.
And just tune into your body and notice how you're feeling.
Has your number shifted at all?
Has your breathing perhaps become more free?
So let's assume that you still feel some anxiety around this same situation and do another round.
We go back to the karate chop point and we say,
Even though I'm still feeling anxious,
I deeply love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I have this residual feeling of anxiety and I feel helpless to shift it,
I honor and accept myself for feeling this way.
Even though I have this remaining anxiety,
I'm open to feeling increasingly free and clear in relation to this situation.
Great.
Now,
Again,
Tapping on the eyebrow point,
We say this remaining anxiety side of the eye.
I don't know how to let it go.
Under the eye,
Sometimes my anxiety scares me.
Under the nose,
And I have every right to feel this way.
Chin,
I'm open to experiencing more freedom now.
Collarbone,
Where this anxiety doesn't define me.
Under the arm,
I can observe it from a place of presence.
Top of the head,
And allow it to clear through and out of my system.
And take a deep breath.
And again,
Just check in to see how you're feeling.
Did your number go down?
Are you perhaps experiencing more spaciousness?
It's important to recognize when you are feeling anxious,
It usually means you're jumping into thoughts of the future and scaring yourself with a scenario of what could go wrong.
Or you might mentally be reliving something from the past that is causing you upset.
So the more you can bring your awareness into this present moment in order to clear anxiety,
The better.
And if your score out of 10 is still relatively high,
You're welcome to pause this audio and continue the rounds of tapping,
Getting detailed and specific around what's bothering you.
Feeling into those places in your body where you notice intensity and allowing the internal energy shower of tapping to clear any stuck emotion through.
And if you are already feeling more free,
Then let's do a final round of tapping to stabilize this new experience.
So starting at the eyebrow point,
We say,
Coming home to myself now and to the present moment.
Side of the eye,
Resting into peace and wellbeing.
Under the eye,
It feels so good to release the burden of anxiety.
Under the nose and to open to feeling calm and confident.
Chin,
Shifting my perspective around this situation.
Collarbone,
I allow the future to surprise and delight me.
Under the arm,
Trusting that everything is conspiring for my good.
Top of the head,
Now and always.
And take a deep breath.
Good.
And check in one more time on that scale of zero to 10.
I invite you to give thanks for any insights or helpful shifts you've noticed.
Anytime a new situation arises that triggers anxiety,
Know that you can come back to this meditation to clear it through.
And for now,
Wishing you peace,
Freedom,
And abundant blessings.
