Are you looking for something to help you sleep through the night? Try this right before you go to bed.

There are a number of things that didn't go as planned today.

Some of them are still on my mind.

They are floating around in the forms of regret and disappointment.

At this point there is nothing I can do about these things.

I give myself permission to let these worries and anxieties to melt away.

If I need theses worries and anxieties again tomorrow I can re-find them.

More than likely after a good night’s sleep these things will seem less daunting and tomorrow I will have the opportunity to respond in a new way.

There are a number of things that I am thinking about that are going to happen tomorrow or sometime in the future.

There is nothing that I can do about these things tonight.

The best thing that I can do about the unknown that is coming in the future is to get a good night’s sleep so that when I wake tomorrow I will be well rested and re-energized to take on these tasks and opportunities.

When I climb into bed tonight I will fall asleep easily and gently.

When my head hits the pillow my body will naturally relax.

It will happen easily and gently.

Even if I don't fall asleep right away that is OK because I know just resting in bed is going to do a lot for my system, giving it a chance to slow down and heal.

I know the part of my system that is responsible for sleep works very hard.

It wants me to sleep and to receive all the amazing benefits that come from a night of restful sleep.

I appreciate the part of me that is responsible for sleep, even though I sometimes am hard on myself and this part of my system when it has a hard time sleeping.

I want the part of my system that is responsible for sleep to know that it is not alone in providing me sleep.

The whole system is committed to a night of deep, relaxing, gentle sleep.

Whatever other parts of the system that the sleep part wants to call on, I give it permission to do that now.

AND I want it to know that I want it to work with the rest of the system.

My system works best when all the parts are working together.

I am going to have restful sleep tonight.

I am going to have gentle sleep tonight.

I am going to have re-energizing sleep tonight.

I am going to have healing sleep tonight.

I am going to sleep in such a way that it will feed my creativity and inspiration tonight.

In the morning I am going to wake up gently and easily.

I am going to wake up re-energized and ready to take on a new day.

I am going to wake with open eyes to new opportunities and bigger dreams.

I am going to wake knowing that this night’s sleep served me and the new day very well.

I give myself permission to have a gentle, restful night of sleep.

My sleep is important.

During sleep my system has the recharge and re-energize.

During sleep my conscious, subconscious, and unconscious minds have the opportunity to sort out all the new information and lessons form today.

While I am sleeping I don't need to give any of these functions any thought.

My system can take care of all of this while I get a gentle, restful night of sleep.

Pod #99: EFT For Resentment w/ Gwenn Bonnell

by

Gwenn Bonnell is always one of my favorite guests on the Tapping Q and A Podcast because every time I talk to her I learn something new. This interview was no different.

In this interview we talk about how to tap for resentment. And this is not just about feeling resentment towards other people. We can also resent our computer for not working, a company for not being helpful, and ourselves for making the same bad choice again and again.

The interesting thing about resentment is that it is an emotion that bubbles below the surface so it isn’t always obvious to us, like anger or sadness. Because of this we can forget to tap for it because it doesn't feel like it is impacting our immediate present.

In this interview Gwenn shares a great 3 step tool to get to the core of resentment, and how to tap for it once you are there.

EFT To Stay Healthy During Flu Season

by

It has been one of the worst flu seasons in years here in the States. And even if you managed to avoid the flu, there were lots of colds and stomach viruses going around. Below is the tapping script I use when I feel a bug coming on.

You don't have to use the whole thing. Feel free to pick and choose the parts that work best for you.

Here is a downloadable pdf version of the script.

[Note: If you like this script I would encourage you to check MyEFTYear.com. This is the type of resource that shows up at least 4 days a week.]

My system is a powerful healing machine.

My system is made for health and well-being. I appreciate everything that my system does on unconscious and subconscious levels all day and night to keep me healthy and safe. I know my system isn’t perfect in doing this, but it is truly amazing in what is does.

I know that there are choices that I make that make it harder for my system to heal and grow. There are thoughts that I have, emotions that I feel, beliefs that I hold, things that I eat and drink, and choices that I make which makes it harder for my system to maintain optimum health. I apologize to my system for any of these that I have done, especially in the last twenty-four hours. I appreciate the fact that my system is willing to keep working towards my health and well-being.

There are many things that my system is holding onto that is slowing healing and growth. These can be in the forms of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and substance in my physical body. Some of these are known while some are unknown or hidden. At one point the system thought these were helpful or still thinks they are helpful. I give my system permission to let go of anything that is blocking health and well being. If it needs these things in the future, I will be able to pick them up again. I give my system permission to let them go even if the system doesn’t understand what they are or why the system thought they were helpful at one point.

My system is a powerful healing machine. I give my system permission to release its healing power, not just now, but throughout the whole day and as I sleep tonight. I do not need to be conscious of this healing and growth. My system has permission to heal.

There are many systems in my body that do so many amazing things. There might be blocks and impediments to these parts working to their optimum potential.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my body anything it needs for health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my digestive system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my respiratory system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my circulatory system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my nervous system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission and energy to remove any blocks and provide health and healing to my limbic system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my glandular system for optimum health and well-being.

I give my system permission to remove any blocks and provide to my reproductive system for optimum health and well-being.

I know that as I move through the day I encounter many things that it is hard for my system to process or can be hard for my system to process. My system and my immune system do an amazing job of keeping me healthy as I encounter things through my whole day that are working against my health and well-being.

I want my immune system to know how much I appreciate how hard it works. I want my immune system to know it is not the only part of me that is trying to keep my safe and healthy. I give my immune system permission to access other parts of my system to ensure that I stay safe and healthy.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden obstacles that are preventing health and well-being.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden viruses that are preventing health and well-being.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden bacteria that are preventing health and well-being.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden emotions that are preventing health and well-being.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden memories that are preventing health and well-being.

I give my system permission to heal and remove any known, unknown, and hidden beliefs that are preventing health and well-being.

Did You Know You Aren’t Trying To Get Rid Of Emotions With EFT?

A recent conversation with my client went like this…

Client: I am really sad because I am never going to get to see him again.

Me: Good!

Client: What do you mean good?

Me: It is good that you are mourning the loss of the friendship. It is important to mourn that loss. It’s healthy to recognize that the relationship was important to you, recognize the positive things it gave you, and acknowledge you are going to be missing something.

Client: I didn’t know it was OK to feel this way.

If you search the internet you will find thousands of articles and videos on how to get rid of emotions. When we are working on a negative emotion our the goal is often to get that emotion down to a zero on the SUD scale.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a great tool to use in responding to emotions.

BUT our goal with tapping is not to be emotionless!

Our emotions serve us. They give us information about how we are responding to what is going on around us.

When we feel angry it is because we perceive that we are under attack. When we feel frustrated it is because we feel like we want or need better. When we feel sad we are recognizing that we are missing something that is important to us.

The emotions themselves are not the problem. Emotions are only a problem when they spring from misinformation, or are disproportionate to the circumstance.

An example of a misinformed emotion would be when we get really mad at someone for not showing up to dinner when we didn't know they were involved in an accident on the way.

An example of a disproportionate emotion would be pulling over and crying for 45 minutes after we were cut off by another driver.

In both examples we experience the emotion because it is trying to convey information about our experience. The anger is there because we feel attacked because we were stood up. The overwhelm on the road came because there was a part of us that feared for our life. In both cases the emotion went too far and was too big.

We don't tap to get rid of our emotions, but instead to achieve balance and have them respond accurately and in proportion to our experience.

Many times when we tap we do release emotion completely because it has done its job and passed along the information needed.

At other times we will not get the emotion all the way to a zero and that is perfect because there are emotions we need to feel.

What are your thoughts on tapping for emotions and getting them all the way to a zero? I would love to hear about your experiences below.
