22. Awesome: Unhelpful Thoughts with EFT

Feeling stuck in a cycle of unhelpful thoughts?
This guided meditation can help you break free.

Imagine yourself in a quiet, peaceful space — ready to explore the inner workings of your mind.
Begin by simply noticing the thoughts moving through your awareness.
Is there one thought that keeps returning, feeling heavy or overwhelming?

This meditation uses a technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping.
You’ll gently tap on specific points on your face and body while acknowledging the thought that arises.

Here’s the key: as you tap, you’ll shift your focus from believing the thought to allowing it — without judgment.
Let your thoughts flow. Instead of dwelling on negativity, you’ll learn to move through it with calm acceptance.

This practice helps you recognise that your thoughts are just thoughts — they don’t define who you are.
You have the power to move through them and return to a balanced, centred state of mind.

The meditation will guide you through gentle tapping points — on the eyebrow, around the eye, under the nose, and more — while repeating affirmations such as:

“I’m open to the possibility of accepting and loving myself.”

Let these words settle within you as you breathe deeply and tap gently.

Repeat this exercise as often as you can.
Each round helps to quiet your mind, release tension, and restore inner balance.

With gratitude and appreciation to the 16th Annual World Tapping Summit (2024) for kindly sharing their resources,
and to Dr. Claire Hayes for her guidance on using tapping to work with unhelpful thought patterns.
