It’s time to start catching ourselves in the lies we tell ourselves. “You’re not good enough, you’ll never be happy, you don’t deserve…blah, blah, blah.” We are gaslighting ourselves when we listen to this negative self-talk. Believing these lies dims our light. That is not the voice of our authentic self, and it is time for that voice to go! It is time to shine!
With this self-guided meditation, you can release those voices and their underlying beliefs.
STEP 1 – Get Connected
Sit quietly. Feel your feet connected to the ground. Take some deep inhales and exhales. Begin gently and continuously tapping your fingertips on your upper chest, just below your collarbone. If you are familiar with EFT tapping, you are welcome to tap on the sequence of tapping points or stay at the collarbone.
STEP 2 – Observation
Continue tapping as you say the following statements aloud. As you speak these statements, pay attention to what arises for you. Take note of any constriction or sensations in your body. Take notice of any negative thoughts, fear, disbelief or other things that might show up as you tap.
Say these statements aloud as you tap:
· My energy is aligned with my desires
· I manifest my dreams
· My energy is aligned with what I desire
· And what I desire also wants me
· I now recognize my worth
· And I am open to receive
· My dreams are on their way
· My energy is aligned with my desires
What has come up for you?
Repeat these statements aloud three times as you tap. After three repetitions, notice any shifts. Are the things that came up for you still present? If so, move on to STEP 3. (If not, hug yourself and enjoy a moment of celebration for the work you have done to get to this place!)
STEP 3 – Healing time
Tap again and repeat the statements aloud. When things arise for you this time, stay with them. To do this, pause speaking loud and allow your sensations, thoughts, etc, to be seen fully. Sit with them. They want to be expressed. You may have some idea of where they come from, or you may not. Either way, be with them until you feel their grip loosen.
Once you sense an opening to dialogue with them, ask them if they are open to trying something new. If the answer is No, listen more until you get a Yes. If the answer is Yes, follow a new sequence of tapping on your collarbone while stating the phrases aloud.
Notice any differences within yourself between this tap and the initial taps. What has shifted for you?
