Does your mind refuse to switch off when going to sleep? Thoughts racing, one leading to the next, and the harder you try to stop them the louder they get? This Tapping Into Sleep session can help you naturally switch off your mind and release negative energy, so you can drift into peacefully into sleep. No tapping experience needed. Just follow along. With EFT Tapping, we focus on the problem and tap it out of our system. Tapping Instructions Tap with the hand that feels most natural. Tap on either side of the body. You can stay on one side, alternate, or use both. Tap as hard or as soft as you like, or massage the points. Signs of Shifts Yawning, deep breaths, sighing, stretching, tears, laughter, or tiredness. What to Expect Some notice big shifts, some notice something in between, and some not much. Sometimes it can take a little time, like the snow flakes in a snow globe settling. This session can work wonders as part of a pre-sleep ritual. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for being here. The intention of this session is to help you go to sleep with much more peace and calm in your mind, Body and soul. Sounds nice, Doesn't it? When the mind won't shut off though. That is not easy. And that's what we're going to work on today. Working on reducing and even dissolving that mental activity, That mental energy on overdrive. Can do so with tapping. I will ask you to follow along with me, Tap where I tap. And say out loud what I say. Let's begin. My mind won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind just won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind will shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. My mind won't shut off. Deep breath in. And breathe out Okay, Good. That was first round. So we focus on the issue and then we work through the layers. Round 2 even though my mind won't shut off. I'm open to the possibility. That it actually can. Calm down. But my mind won't shut off. I wish it could. Calm down. But my mind won't shut off. I could be open for it to shut off. I could be open for it to shut up. It would be good if my mind could just. . . Reduce the activity just a little bit but my mind won't shut off. What if it can? What if it's already started to shut off? What if it's already started to? Reduce that activity. What if it's already started to calm down a little bit? My mind is too active. There's too many things to think about. But I could still be open for it to calm down. Okay, Deep breath up. And breathe out. Notice how you're feeling. Breathe, Yawn, Move, Do what you need to do. Row 3 even though my mind won't shut off when it's time to sleep. I allow myself to let go of the need to Fight thoughts with thoughts. I let go of this inner battle. And allow myself. To calm down. Mind won't shut off. I choose to stop fighting thoughts with thoughts. I allow myself to let go. If only a little bit. If only for a little while. If only enough. To help me go to sleep. I have all these thoughts. And my mind won't shut up. What if I allowed my shoulders? To settle. My eyes too soft. My heart. Consult. I wonder what would happen. I wonder if that would help me. I wonder if that would allow things to calm down. To find some quiet, Some peace. Some harmony. In my body and mind. That would be good. I allow my mind. To shut off. It's okay. It's actually okay to relax. Notice how you're feeling. Notice what's going on. And allow your shoulders to sink a bit. Allow your system, Your mind and body to soften a little bit. Just soften the muscles between your eyes, Around your eyes and the forehead. Just soften them. If that's possible, Instead of squinting and being serious just Soft. Round 4 even though there's a part of me that won't shut off. Seems like it wants attention. Seems like all these thoughts come up when. . . When I'm going to sleep. Where are they during the day? Why aren't I thinking these thoughts? And focusing on solutions. During the day. What if I could set off time for that? What if I could reflect more during the day? Write down my thoughts. Write down the important ones. So I could go to sleep when it's time to sleep. That would be nice. This part of me that keeps thinking This part of me that wants to solve things. Is part of Maidat. He's trying to keep me safe in some way. It's part of me that wants attention. This part of me that can't let go that easy. I wonder what this part wants. What is it that I need? What is it that I'm after? Maybe this part of me don't feel safe before. It can solve things. Or maybe this part of me just don't feel safe relaxing for some reason. I choose to validate this part of me. Choose to to love and accept that part of me. It is okay. As if that part of me is my inner child. Wants comfort. Can give that child comfort. Round 5. I can't go to sleep. Yes, I can. No, I can't relax at all, So how can I go to sleep? Of course I can go to sleep. Come to sleep. Every day since I was born. No, No, Not today. Today is the day to stay awake and just think, Think, Think, Think, Think. That's not true. The day can be the day where I sleep, Sleep, And sleep. What if I go to sleep and sleep deeper than ever? You can't. You have to stay awake because there's so much to think about. All these thoughts, All these things to worry about, All these things to try to solve, All this past, All this future stuff. We have to think. Of course. I have free will. I have agency. I have the power to. Focus where I want to focus. And I'm choosing to step into that power now. I choose to relax because it's safe. Safe to relax. Save to let go and it's safe to go to sleep Alright. For the last round, Just tap very lightly or even just massage the points. Even though it's been a struggle. All these thoughts. My mind won't shut off. I allow myself to let go. And forgive all parts of me. That have been struggling, Fighting, Battling these thoughts. And safe. Relax more. I allow myself to settle. Having my shoulders up under my ears doesn't help. I can drop them down and relax them. I can allow my body to soften. And allow my arms to soften My neck, My back. My chest, My breath. I can love my feet. To soft. To get heavier and more sleepy. I allow myself to get more sleepy. And I can even start to look a bit forward to. Drifting off to sleep. Waking up refreshed tomorrow. Going to sleep now. Going to sleep with our With a smile in my heart. I could do that. Or maybe just my feet. Smiling a little bit because. . . They're relaxing and looking forward to. Good night's sleep. I allow myself to let go, Relax and go to sleep. That's it. Before you drift off. I want to ask you to close your eyes a little bit. And when you do so, Put one head on your one head. One hand on your chest. One hand on your forehead. Just close your eyes if you want to. You haven't done it already. And imagine. . . Your muscles melting. Like an ice cube and a glass of warm water. And your body just settling. And it's okay. Save to settle. Safe to sleep. That ice cube just melts more and more. As the muscles around your eyes and inside your eyes melt. It can allow your. . . Torso optimum Your thighs. Your feet. Just let go a little bit. And you can. . . Come back a little bit here now. Maybe you want to turn off this video. And go to sleep. Thanks again for being here and good nights.
