Hi,
I'm Susanna.
Let's do some tapping to help regulate the nervous system and come back into a sense of peace and wholeness,
Even in the midst of life's stress or individual stress.
What I've noticed is that we can be stressed by external experiences,
But even more than that,
Our bodies become stressed and dysregulated because of the stories that we tell mentally about a situation going on on the planet,
About something that we feel that we should be doing better or more or different.
In fact,
Any time that with that should word is taking up a lot of our attention,
Undoubtedly we are revving ourselves up in a way.
And in that space,
You know,
Where the shoulders lift,
Where the jaw tightens,
It becomes very difficult to just feel at peace.
So I'd like to dedicate these couple of rounds of tapping to just remembering,
Coming home into a frequency,
No matter what is going on in your world,
Where life feels okay,
Where life feels even pretty good.
So to begin with,
Let's take a breath and release it.
Just softening down.
And take an inventory to begin with a notice,
Perhaps how triggered you feel,
How stressed you feel.
Maybe something happened recently.
Maybe it's something that you've been dealing with for a while,
This buildup of a dysregulated nervous system that may have expressed as something like chronic fatigue or some other illness.
Let's just identify it,
Notice it,
And notice the degree to which we're conscious,
How much that stress is impacting us,
How much we're noticing that we feel kind of off-center,
Ungrounded,
Dysregulated.
And you might like to give it on a scale of zero to 10 a number,
With 10 being completely dysregulated and zero being,
Nope,
Feel pretty good in this moment.
So as you find your number,
Let's go to the karate chop point,
Tapping we say,
Even though I'm feeling this stress in my life right now,
And use your imagination to identify what the stress,
The source of the stress feels like to you.
I choose to deeply love and accept myself anyway.
Even though my system is feeling dysregulated,
And it's hard for me to feel peaceful right now.
There's so much going on in my life.
I forgive myself for putting added pressure on myself.
And I forgive anything in my life,
Or in my head,
In the world,
That is causing my nervous system to feel overwhelmed.
Even though I feel stressed,
And there's an underlying tension in my body,
Somehow it doesn't feel safe to just relax and unwind.
I'm open to gifting myself an invitation to rest deeply,
And to come back into an experience of peace and wellbeing that feels like coming home.
Let's just tap,
Tuning into whatever particular stress is up for you at the moment,
This stress in my life.
Breathing as you tap.
I feel so triggered by,
And again naming it for you,
What is it?
What's going on in the world perhaps?
This fear of the future.
This sense that I just can't let go and unwind.
This low-level anxiety built up in my system.
What if I don't have to carry this?
What if even as I tap,
I can invite my system to unwind and relax?
All of this stress and overwhelm I've been carrying for a while.
I choose to soften,
And I choose to deeply love and accept myself now.
Good,
And take a breath.
And just notice how your body feels after that round of tapping.
Is there a little bit more of a sense of surrender?
A little bit more possibility to move into that alignment where life just feels a little better?
Okay,
Now let's really focus on the pressure that we put on ourselves at times.
I know I do.
And so I want you to tune into an I should that seems to be quite prevalent for you.
Whether it is,
I should do more.
I should be more productive.
I should eat less.
I should exercise more.
I should meditate for longer.
What is it for you?
What's the should that plays out over and over again?
Once you've caught a hold of it,
Let's go to the karate chop point.
We say,
Even though I'm hypervigilant with myself,
I always feel like I should try harder or do better than I'm doing.
Somehow,
Who I am and how I am is never good enough.
I choose to deeply love and accept myself right here right now.
Even though I have this intense sense of should around this particular area of life,
And you might name it out loud for you.
Notice what happens in your body when you affirm that should,
That belief.
I'd like to forgive myself and any pattern or program that installed this should in me and create a sense of ongoing tension where it's hard for me to just rest and be at peace or care for myself in a way that would be loving.
Even though I've lived so long with this sense of I should weighing on my shoulders.
And I don't even know who I'd be if I let that thought form dissolve.
I'm open to the possibility that I might be able to live my best life without ever shoulding on myself again.
Good,
Let's take a breath.
Good,
Let's go to the eyebrow point.
We say,
What if I could allow myself more freedom to just be me?
What if who I am and how I am is perfect for now,
Exactly as it is?
What if I could feel safe in this moment?
To just be?
What if I could dissolve the label of lazy,
Or not enough that I've carried so often and soften,
Relax and let go?
What if I could create a new space to live from?
That is more aligned with my soul's true frequency,
Where the next right thing to do could just arise naturally,
Without the added pressure I've placed on myself.
And I could become aware of just how beautiful life can feel when I take the pressure off.
Just for a moment,
Close your eyes.
Lean into that possibility.
As if you're leaning back into the embrace of someone that loves you dearly.
And a gigantic hug that lets you know you are perfect,
Just as you are.
And with a commitment to just remember whatever peace or ease your fingertips have brought you through this tapping sequence,
To move into whatever calls to you next,
In that alignment that lets you know that you are safe,
You are loved and all is well.
And so it is.
Blessings.
