Tap & Treat

TAP: EFT TAPPING

Total time: 5 minutes 

If there was ANYTHING that happened during your day that you felt triggering and you feel has not left your system, take a minute to tap on it to release it before bed.

You can talk out loud as much as you need to on each tapping point - and by the end of it if you don’t feel you got all of your emotions & feelings out and there’s more to say - feel free to start from the beginning & go through the tapping points again.

As you continue in your TLC journey, the EFT will become easier...

So be patient with this... baby steps... :)

  • While Tapping on the fleshy side of your hand by your pinkie finger, SAY:
    (Describe the event, feeling, problem, etc. that is causing you to not feel joy.)
    Examples:
    “Even though ____________ happened today (name the event)
    “Even though I feel ____ (emotion)
    “Even though I’m struggling with ____ (name the challenge)
    “Even though I'm feeling overwhelmed by ____ (state the source of overwhelm)
    “Even though I feel a sense of guilt about ____ (name the guilt-inducing situation)
    “Even though I've been holding onto this memory of ____ (describe the memory or trauma)
    "Even though I'm afraid of ____ (mention the fear)

    Always Ending with -
    , I deeply and completely Love, Accept & Forgive myself.”

    (Now, - Explain all of your feelings in tapping points…starting with explaining the frustration, the overwhelm, etc…. And slowly as you tap changing it to become more positive…)

    While Tapping above the eyebrows, SAY:
    ex. “This has been a challenging day and this made me feel…..

    While Tapping beside the eyes at the edge of your face, SAY:
    ex.“It made me so mad today when ….

    While Tapping on your cheek bones, SAY:
    ex. “I choose to let it go and allow relaxation to flow…

    While Tapping underneath your nose, SAY:
    ex. “I know it wasn’t intentional - and I choose to love and forgive anyway…

    While Tapping on your chin, SAY:
    ex. “I chose inner peace and I’m open to forgiving them and myself and moving forward…

    While Tapping on your collarbones, SAY:
    ex. “I am in control and I choose to release it and embrace a new perspective…

    While Tapping on each side under your arms, just under your armpits, SAY:
    ex. “I’m open to the possibility of healing and releasing it...

    While Tapping on the top of your head, SAY:
    ex. “I’m excited to know that this won’t be affecting me in the future...

    Always Ending with -
    “I Love Myself”

TREAT: LOUISE HAY's MIRROR TREATMENT

Look at yourself in a mirror as you read this out loud: 

"In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. 

I live in perfect harmony and balance with everyone I know.

Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love.

I now allow this love to flow to the surface.

It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being,

And radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.

The more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply is endless. 

The use of love makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy.

I love myself; therefore I take loving care of my body.

I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages, I lovingly groom it and dress it,

My body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

I love myself; therefore, I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that

Fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love

So that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

I love myself; therefore I work at a job I truly enjoy doing, 

one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people I love

and who love me, and earning a good income. 

I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people for I know

That which I give out returns to me multiplied.

I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am. 

I love myself; therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences, and I am free. 

I love myself; therefore, I live totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright, joyous, and secure

For I am a beloved child of the Universe, and the Universe lovingly takes care of me

Now and forever more. All is well in my world."

(Take a few deep breaths and allow all the above words to integrate)

  • Mirror work has been around forever & it has been proven beneficial in the following areas:

    1. Self-Awareness: Mirror work allows observation of yourself more objectively and gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and behavior. By looking in the mirror, individuals can become more aware of their body language, facial expressions, and emotional responses, leading to greater self-awareness.

    2. Self-Acceptance: Mirror work encourages individuals to practice self-acceptance and self-compassion. By looking in the mirror with kindness and non-judgment, individuals can cultivate a positive self-image and develop greater acceptance of themselves, including their perceived flaws or imperfections.

    3. Positive Affirmations: Mirror work often involves repeating positive affirmations or self-talk while looking at oneself in the mirror. This practice can help individuals challenge negative self-talk and replace it with empowering and affirming statements. Positive affirmations can boost self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-belief.

    4. Emotional Healing: Mirror work can be a powerful tool for emotional healing and self-expression. By looking into their own eyes in the mirror, individuals can connect with their emotions more deeply and express them in a safe and supportive environment. This practice can facilitate emotional release, healing, and transformation.

    5. Body Image and Self-Perception: Mirror work can help individuals improve their self-perception. By focusing on positive aspects of themselves and affirming their worthiness and beauty, individuals can shift their perspective from self-criticism to self-acceptance and appreciation.

Meditate & Visualize

RECEIVING MEDITATION:

Total time: 5 minutes

Hands in prayer position (or on your heart), asking "Dear God, What do I need to know today?"

Answering to yourself (hands outstretched, palms up), "Dear [Your Name], you need to know that… "

Allow whatever comes up - don't think - just talk out loud (you will be surprised at what comes from God, your "higher self", Universe, etc.!)

I've had amazing insight come through with this meditation.  EnJOY! 

MANIFESTING VISUALIZATION:

Take a second to imagine exactly what you'd like (to see in your life, to embody, to create, to manifest, etc..):

Shut your eyes…

Try to "picture" it as though it’s your current experience…

And try to "feel" it as being real now too! The feeling is MOST important!  

Take 2 minutes for this process... SMILE... :)

  • This practice is commonly used in stress reduction, personal development, and manifestation. Here are several reasons why visualization can be beneficial:

    1. Goal Achievement: Visualization is a powerful tool for clarifying goals and enhancing motivation. By mentally rehearsing desired outcomes and envisioning success, individuals can strengthen their commitment to their goals and increase their likelihood of achieving them.

    2. Stress Reduction: Visualization can be an effective technique for reducing anxiety, depression, and  stress. By visualizing peaceful scenes, calming imagery, or pleasant experiences, individuals can activate the body's relaxation response, lower stress hormones, and induce a sense of calmness and well-being by shifting their emotional state from negative to positive.

    3. Confidence Building: Visualization can help individuals build confidence and self-belief by mentally rehearsing success and positive outcomes. By visualizing themselves overcoming challenges, achieving goals, and handling difficult situations with confidence and competence, individuals can bolster their self-confidence and self-efficacy.

    4. Creative Problem-Solving: Visualization can stimulate creativity and innovation by allowing individuals to mentally explore different possibilities, solutions, and scenarios. By visualizing themselves overcoming obstacles or generating new ideas, individuals can tap into their creative potential and find innovative solutions to challenges.

    5. Healing and Recovery: Visualization is used in complementary and alternative medicine practices to support healing and recovery processes. By visualizing the body's innate healing abilities, individuals can activate the mind-body connection and support physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.

    6. Manifestation and Law of Attraction: The power of visualization enables the ability to manifest desires and attract positive outcomes. By visualizing specific goals, dreams, or intentions with clarity, focus, and belief, individuals can align their thoughts, emotions, and actions with their desired reality.

    By incorporating visualization into their daily routine, individuals can harness the power of their imagination to enhance their overall well-being and achieve their goals.

Gratitude & Prayers
