Tapping for releasing old stories

2/3/2014

0 Comments

 
happy february all!  


we're officially one month into the new year.  i can't believe how fast january flew by!  this is a great time to check in with ourselves and see how our intentions and goals are going.  it's easy when kicking off a new year with big goals and aspirations to sometimes fall off the wagon, but what's crucial to remember is that slipping up might happen.  we skip yoga class in favor of a netflix binge.  we have one too many glasses of wine with dinner.  we indulge in a sweet treat.  we fall back into old, comfortable patterns.  


today i'm going to share a Tapping practice for when this happens- EFT to bust through those old habits!  it's going to help you when you have a slip up because it's going to kick those stories we tell ourselves to the curb!  you know the stories- they hold us back.  they justify our actions.  they convince us that maybe we can't really change.  and they shape our perceptions.  when our stories tell us that we "can't" succeed, we believe them.  when our stories make us feel weak, we start to think that maybe we can't reach our goals.  we're going to ditch those stories with this EFT practice! 


Start in a comfortable seated position and reflect on your tapping points

start with tapping the KARATE CHOP POINT on the edge of your hand with the set up statement:  even though i have this story, i know it's not truly who i am and i can create a more empowering story for myself  (tap on this point while repeating this statement 3x)

TAP POINT BETWEEN YOUR EYEBROWS: i am commited to letting go of this story 

TAP POINT OUTSIDE OF EYE: this negative mindset doesn't serve me and i have no use for it 

TAP POINT UNDER EYE: i will not let old patterns and habits hold me back from living up to my full potential 

TAP POINT UNDER NOSE: i recognize that this story is not me, it's something i've created and cling to in order to justify behaviors that aren't empowering me 

TAP POINT ON CHIN: i'm finally ready to let this story go


TAP COLLARBONE POINT: slip ups will happen and mistakes will be made, but they don't define me


TAP POINT UNDER YOUR ARM: i'm going to recognize when these stories pop up and create more empowering thoughts 


TAP TOP OF HEAD POINT: i release these stories, these habits and these old patterns in favor of living my life with purpose and power 


practice this technique when you feel stuck and held back!  


xo sat nam,
bonnie

    I'm a formerly anxious chick that found my zen on the mat. I used yoga, pranayama and yogic philosophies to alleviate my debilitating anxiety and get my life back on track. Now, I spend my time teaching yoga, coaching others and helping people find a more peaceful path in life.
