Welcome to your tapping meditation, Tapping into softness. I invite you to find a comfortable seated position and as you sit down could you really feel the weight of your body on the surface beneath you? If you feel comfortable to maybe closing down or softening the eyes and as you scan your body from the point of contact with the surface beneath you, Maybe your pelvis or your feet, On the ground, The chair, The bed. Could you scan through your body and without changing a thing just noticing any areas of tension, Any areas of holding, Controlling, Resisting, Perhaps noticing any ways you're holding yourself up and away from the surface beneath you, The earth holding you. Just noticing them as you scan through the body. Noticing any tension in the belly, The chest, The shoulders, The arms. Noticing any tension in the hands, Any grasping, Clasping. Noticing any holding in the neck, Any sense of any muscles being switched on or clenched in the jaw, The throat, The face. Noticing how you're holding your eyes, Temples, Forehead, The skull. And just getting an intuitive rating of one to ten. One being not super tense and ten being super intense. Just noticing how tense your body feels overall. How hard, How much it's holding. When you're ready you're beginning to tap on the side of the hand, The point just below the pinky finger there, The little fleshy part. Saying something like, Even though I'm holding all of this tension, I choose to love myself as I am. Even though I'm noticing all of this holding in my body right now, I choose to love my body as it is. And even though I'm noticing all of this tension in my body, I choose to honor my body and myself as I am. We come to tap on the inner eyebrow points, These are the reminder points now. So we're just letting our system know what we're meeting here. All of this tension, Tapping on the outside of the eyes. I can feel it in my, I'm just naming where you're feeling it most intensely. Tapping underneath the eyes, You can feel all of this tension. Beneath the nose, My body bracing. Beneath the bottom lip, All of this tension in my, Just naming somewhere else you can feel it. Tapping on the collarbones, Noticing all of this holding in my body. Tapping underneath the armpits and just seeing whether you could breathe in a little deeper here. Allow a soft exhale out of the mouth. Tap on the crown of the head and as you breathe in, Could you send the breath to a point of tension? And as you softly exhale, Could you invite some softness to this space? Tapping on the inner eyebrow points, I know that this attention is here because my body is trying to keep me safe. Tapping on the outside of the eyes, I know my body is just trying to keep me safe from some perceived danger. Tapping underneath the eyes, Maybe a memory from the past or a worry about the future. Underneath the nose, I'm so grateful that my body is trying to keep me safe right now. Underneath the bottom lip, I'm so grateful for my nervous system trying to keep me safe in this moment, Loving me so much. And I acknowledge that there have been things in my life that my body has needed to keep me safe from. And there might be things in the future that I need support with. Tapping underneath the armpits, But right now in this moment I am safe here and it's safe for me to soften. Tapping on the crown of the head, Thank you brain for keeping me safe. It's safe for us to soften here. As you next breathe in, Could you breathe up from your feet all the way up through your body to your brain? And as you exhale just allowing your entire body to soften even just 1% more as you exhale back down through your body, Out of the soles of your feet and down and into the earth. Tapping on the inside of the eyebrows when you're ready, Allowing my body to soften into safety now. Tapping on the outside of the eyes and just sending a breath into a point of tension here. As you exhale could you invite an exhale out of the mouth, Feeling the weight of your body on the surface beneath you. Tapping underneath the eyes and really allowing the surface beneath you to hold you, Whether it be the floor, A chair, The bed, The couch, Whatever you're sitting on. Tapping underneath the nose, Just really allowing your body to soften, Soften, Soften into the support beneath you. Tapping underneath the bottom lip, Really getting this sense of your skin being soft, Almost as though your skin is melting, Softening. As you tap underneath the collarbones could you invite your muscles to soften, Your mind to soften, Your organs to soften. Feeling your collarbones spread and descend, Your shoulder blades descend down your back, Your belly softening, Your pelvic floor softening. Tapping underneath the armpits and inviting the taps to be soft, The hands to soften, The feet to soften, The toes and the fingers relaxing. As you tap on the crown of your head could you get a sense of the crown of your head softening, Getting a sense of the crown of your head softening to space, The universe. Taking a soft inhale into the belly and allowing the air to flow out of the mouth. Letting the hands be soft in your lap here, We'll take two more rounds of breath, Breathing into the belly. As you exhale imagine breathing out of a straw, Like with pursed lips, As though you're deflating a balloon, Or you are a balloon deflating. We'll take one more round of breath like that together, Breathing into a soft belly, Allowing the air to flow out of pursed lips, Deflating yourself as a balloon, Inviting all of the tension to soften here, Feeling your entire body softening as you exhale, Inviting yourself to be held here, Breathing naturally now, And scanning again from the soles of the feet up through the body, Just noticing what's here now, Seeing whether you could notice the amount of tension in your body, Holding, Resisting, Present here now, Just noticing it's intuitive rating now from one to ten, Ten being super tense and one being not tense at all, Just noticing the difference from the beginning of practice to now, Placing your hands somewhere on your body to support the closing of your practice, Offering gratitude to your body for holding you always, Loving you always, Offering gratitude to your body for your practice, Thanking yourself for your practice, Giving yourself permission to take this softness out of this session and into the rest of your life, The moments following. When you're ready, Gently opening your eyes and seeing whether you could invite a soft gaze in your space. Thank you for joining me.
