The main job of the subconscious mind is to keep us safe.
It is constantly on the alert for anything in our environment that could be harmful.
This is great…except when it is not.
It is not so great when it causes us needless worry.
Even with its constant desire to keep us from harm, the subconscious mind is good at recognizing the places in our lives where we are normally safe. For example, many people regard their home as a place of safe and predictable sanctuary, so their whole system relaxes when they walk in their front door.
I have found using the phrase “I give myself permission…” can do exactly the same thing when we are tapping. Letting our subconscious mind know it is in a safe space allows it to be less vigilant and more relaxed, which in turn makes healing easier.
In this week’s podcast I share the many different contexts in which I use the phrase “I give myself permission…” and how you can start to use it in your tapping right away.

Great phrase! Very important to those of us who were terrified of getting into trouble as kids. I tapped through most of this episode as I realized I could give myself permission instead of desperately looking for it from someone else. Thanks a lot for posting this. Very helpful!
