Welcome to this tapping session where today we're going to be exploring that feeling of not enoughness,
Specifically releasing that feeling from the root chakra.
We're going to use tapping,
Our breath and visualizations to help release those deeply held beliefs that somehow you're not quite enough,
Bringing peace to your mind and body.
Before we begin tapping let's take a moment to just tune into the body to really ground and connect to the root chakra.
So make yourself comfortable,
Close your eyes or soften your gaze and take a slow deep breath in really feeling your weight settling into the chair or floor beneath you and then as you exhale allowing your shoulders to drop away from your ears as you begin to relax into this space.
And now bring your awareness to your root chakra which is your centre of safety,
Stability and belonging.
Bringing that awareness down to the very base of the spine,
The tailbone,
The pelvic floor and the area right between your hips.
Sometimes it can be hard to really get a feel for a chakra so to help picture it you can imagine your root chakra as a glowing sphere of ruby red light about the size of a small orange.
Your chakra isn't on the surface of your skin,
It rests deep within the core of your lower body,
Right in the centre of your pelvis and extending all the way from front to back and side to side.
So notice if there's any tightness or density or even a restless feeling sitting in this part of your body.
Remember we aren't trying to fix anything or push any feelings away.
All we're doing is inviting that warm red light to hold whatever is there with total acceptance.
And as we go through the tapping today,
Always try and have a really soft awareness of your root chakra as we tap.
So before we begin the tapping,
Keeping your eyes closed for a moment,
Just take a moment to check in with yourself.
So on a scale of 0 to 10,
How strong does that background feeling of not enoughness or needing to prove your worth feel right now?
So a 10 would mean believing that you really do not feel like you're enough,
Like perhaps you feel like you're falling short,
You feel unsafe or inadequate or you have this strong need to always try and prove yourself,
Prove that you're enough.
And zero would mean feeling completely grounded,
Safe and convinced that actually you are enough exactly as you are.
Just notice where you are on that scale.
Notice the number without any judgments and we'll check in again at the end.
Okay,
Well done.
So eyes open and let's start tapping now on the side of the hand.
You'll be repeating what I say either out loud or silently in your mind,
Either is fine.
Even though I have this feeling that I'm not enough.
I acknowledge what's here and I'm open to feeling safe in my body.
Even though I've been carrying this fear that I'm somehow falling short.
I honour how exhausting that fear is.
Even though part of me believes I have to keep pushing harder or striving to prove my worth.
I choose to deeply and completely love and accept myself in this moment.
And then moving to the eyebrow points.
This persistent feeling of not-enoughness.
Side of the eye.
It rests deep in my root chakra.
Under the eye and there's this rumbling anxiety that I'm falling short.
Under the nose.
Feeling like I always need to do more or be more?
Chin points.
This feeling of never being quite safe or feeling grounded.
Collarbone point.
Like there's always a restlessness or flighty feeling within me.
Under the arm.
And I'm always trying to earn my place or prove my worth.
Top of the head,
Never feeling like I quite measure up.
Okay so for this next round we're really going to try and tune into that root chakra and the physical sensations.
So tapping on the eyebrow points.
Bringing my breath down to the base of my spine.
Okay and let's do that now so take a deep breath in through the nose and bring that breath all the way down to the root chakra.
And as you exhale allow your pelvic floor to just relax a little bit.
Side of the eye.
Noticing where this feeling of not-enoughness lives in my root.
Under the eye,
Noticing any tightness or hollow feeling at my foundation.
So just noticing any sensations or feelings in the root chakra under the nose.
Maybe I've been carrying fear that I'm never safe.
And it's okay to notice that.
Chin points.
Acknowledging how I might shrink or overgive.
Or try really hard to be accepted.
Collarbone points.
All this tension and fear that's been sitting in my root chakra.
Under the arm.
I choose to bring a soft,
Warm,
Red light to this area.
Top of the head,
Allowing the red light to gently glow and warm.
I allow this light to just be here for now.
Lovely.
So keep that in mind as we continue the tapping rounds,
Tapping on the eyebrow points.
I acknowledge how exhausting it is to keep chasing my own worthiness.
Side of the eye.
What if I don't have to earn my right to exist?
Under the eye.
Honouring how hard I've tried to feel like I'm enough in so many ways.
Being enough,
Doing enough,
Having enough.
Under the nose.
What if I could release the belief that my value depends on what I achieve or have?
Chin points.
Maybe I could let go of some of this not-enoughness.
And let myself just be who I am.
Collarbone points.
Because whether I believe it yet or not.
.
.
I am enough and I can hold and grow this belief in my root.
So continue tapping on the collarbone points for a moment.
You might like to close your eyes or soften your gaze.
And I'd like you to think about those words,
I am enough.
You might like to imagine them in front of you.
You might like to imagine how they sound.
You might like to imagine them becoming deeply imprinted right into your root chakra.
So picture those words,
I am enough,
Resting at the base of your spine,
Like a golden indelible mark,
Almost like a tattoo.
Beautiful golden words.
I am enough.
See those words glowing there in that lovely warm red light.
Feel them in your body.
I am enough.
And let yourself hold this truth knowing that it can solidify and anchor deeper and deeper over time.
I am Ena.
Let those golden words be there in your root chakra.
Lovely,
Well done.
So open your eyes,
Tapping under the arm.
It's okay to let the old stories still be here.
Top of the head.
Knowing that this is a journey and I can be patient with myself as I soften.
Back to the eyebrow points.
This not-enoughness has impacted my life so much.
My work,
My relationships,
My ability to rest.
Side of the eye.
Noticing how I've struggled to receive care or love.
Or even believe that I deserve good things.
Under the eye.
But maybe I deserve care and good things just as much as anyone else.
So remember that awareness of the root chakra,
Those words I am enough,
That lovely warm red light.
Just sitting there grounding you as we tap.
Under the nose.
What if I deserve to feel safe,
Secure and settled?
What if I deserve to feel at home in myself?
Chin points.
Could any heaviness within become lightness?
Collarbone points?
Could the flighty unworthiness become grounded enoughness?
Okay so we're going to stay here on the collarbone point again so closing down your eyes or softening your gaze,
Tuning into that root chakra,
We're going to take some breaths together here.
So as you inhale breathing that warm red light into your root and as you exhale letting your shoulders drop and settling into the chair or bed feeling your seated weight and then inhaling again really bringing warmth and compassion to your foundation.
And as you exhale just letting go of any feelings of bracing or tension in the root.
And then one more breath.
Inhale really filling your whole lower body with a soft warm red light.
And as you exhale letting your whole body settle into safety.
Lovely,
Well done.
So keep tapping and breathing here for a moment really allowing your nervous system to support you here as you breathe softly.
You're grounding through your breath.
Through that gentle reassuring comfort and touch of tapping.
Okay,
Well done.
Open your eyes back to tapping under the arm.
I release the need to earn my worthiness.
I release the need to earn my worthiness.
Top of the head.
Honouring how hard I've tried and choosing to feel enough right here.
OK,
Let's do one final round,
Really focusing on that root chakra again,
Tapping on the eyebrow points.
I choose to feel anchored and secure,
Grounded in the truth that I am enough.
Side of the eye.
I belong right here in my body and right here in my life.
You belong,
You beautiful human,
You belong.
You are enough.
Under the eye.
I don't have to earn or prove my worthiness.
It's innate.
It's my birthright.
So please remember that.
You were born worthy and deserving.
You were born enough.
When we see beautiful newborn babies we never consider their worth or their value because they were born worthy.
Tapping under the nose.
Choosing to be rooted like an old wise oak tree,
Strong and solid.
Chin points.
Moving out of feeling not enough.
And coming to rest in my natural,
Abundant state.
Collarbone points.
I am enough,
Right here,
Exactly as I am today.
So remember those beautiful golden words at your root,
I am enough.
They are always there to remind you,
To slow you down,
To ground you,
To realise your value.
Under the arm.
I'm grounded in this warm,
Loving,
Red light.
Top of the head.
Feeling safe,
Whole and completely enough.
Okay,
Well done.
So you can stop tapping there.
Place both of your hands flat over your lower abdomen,
Just in the kind of bowl of your pelvic area under the tummy.
And close your eyes or soften your gaze and then let's take a nice deep breath in together so as you inhale imagine drawing up stability and energy straight from the earth beneath you which fills all your lower body,
Your hips,
Your legs,
Your pelvis and then as you exhale let out a soft sigh Feel your body sinking even deeper into full support.
Take a moment to notice how it feels to rest in the warmth of your root chakra and that feeling of enoughness because you are enough right now,
Right here.
There's nothing else that you need to do or be to be worthy.
You are enough.
You are golden and you are enough.
Now let's tune in again back into that scale from 0 to 10 and just ask yourself how strong does that background feeling of not enoughness or that pressure to prove your worth feel in your body now?
Take a moment to notice the number.
And whatever number comes up for you,
Just acknowledge it with kindness.
If your number has dropped,
Take a moment to notice any shifts or space that you've created.
And if your number has stayed the same or even gone up.
.
.
That's okay too.
You know sometimes tapping does bring those deeper layers into our awareness so it can finally be seen.
Every single response is normal,
Safe and welcome.
So just recognize that this is a continuous journey,
Especially when it comes to self-worth.
Be really gentle with yourself.
Okay,
So you might like to open your eyes,
Have a little stretch if you feel called to.
And as you go about your day today let that warm ruby light stay anchored right at the base of your spine.
And those words,
Those golden words,
I am enough.
Knowing that that peace and safety is always there for you.
So thank you so much for tapping with me today.
Take the warmth and grounding with you as you move through the rest of your day.
You are enough.
Take care.
