Welcome,
I'm Susanna Kenton and we're going to begin this tapping session by centering in and setting some intentions that will support you to deepen into self-love.
So just get comfortable in a seated position and close your eyes.
Now take a deep breath in through your nose and release it through your mouth.
Just feeling the gift of the breath as it softly and gently brings you home to yourself and moving your awareness from the headspace into the heart space.
That place where we can begin to sense our connection with the source of life and with unconditional love itself.
And as we attune to source energy here we open up a field of healing and pure potential.
A space in which we can feel held and loved,
Honored and seen,
Uplifted and celebrated.
Where doubts,
Fears,
Traumas and wounds fall away and the essence of who we are expresses effortlessly as pure love.
So I just affirm and know that through this tapping practice you deepen into your own evolving sense of self-love.
And as we shine the light of consciousness on that which may have caused you to turn against yourself or feel undeserving of love,
We free up your energy system clearing burdens you've carried and allowing you to experience more of your true nature.
No matter your circumstances present or past you are utterly deserving of the deepest compassion and love.
And I give thanks to know that this realization awakens within you as you move into more self-love for your highest good and the highest good of all.
And so it is.
And now take a deep breath and let it go and let's prepare to tap.
I'll guide you through the points with phrases you can repeat after me and if a phrase I say doesn't feel true for you please replace it with one that does.
Let's start at the karate chop point and tapping here we say even though I don't yet fully love myself I'd like to love and accept myself one day.
Even though I'm so critical of me I'm not even sure I deserve to be loved.
Being upset with myself comes more easily than being loving.
I forgive myself and I forgive anything else that has blocked my path to self-love.
Even though I don't think it's possible for me to love myself as I am I'm open to a kinder more understanding relationship with me.
Okay good and let's move to the eyebrow point and tapping we say I just can't love myself.
Side of the eye.
I have all these critical negative thoughts.
Under the eye.
All this shame and guilt from the past.
Under the nose.
This feeling I'm not good enough as I am.
Chin.
This fear I've done things wrong.
Collarbone.
All these regrets and failures.
Under the arm.
It's no wonder I don't love myself.
Top of the head.
And I'm open to the possibility of loving and accepting myself anyway.
Good and take a breath.
Consider for a moment that despite any mistakes you feel you've made.
Step by step in this lifetime you've been trying to do your best under challenging circumstances.
If you could have acted with more love for yourself or for another in any given situation don't you think you would have?
Love feels good and as we become more free and more clear mentally and emotionally expressing and experiencing more love happens naturally.
So let's go back to the karate chop point now and this time we say even though I'm really hard on myself I'd like to love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I've learned to pay more attention to what's wrong with me than what's right I forgive myself for this negativity bias.
Everyone has one.
Even though I wasn't taught to be loving towards myself I learned to put everyone else's needs before my own and I'm not that comfortable treating myself kindly.
I'm ready to find a better balance now by deepening into self-love.
And let's go to the eyebrow point.
This habit of beating up on myself.
Side of the eye and judging myself harshly.
Under the eye.
I've been so focused on what's wrong with me.
Under the nose.
Feeling like I'm not good enough.
Chin.
Sacrificing my wants and needs for others.
Collarbone.
I wonder if it's possible.
Under the arm.
That I can ultimately serve others best.
Top of the head.
By first honoring my own needs and deepening into self-love.
And let's go straight back to the eyebrow point.
What if I could begin to live in a new way?
Side of the eye.
Where I treat myself with compassion.
Under the eye.
And bring kindness to my struggles.
Under the nose.
Offering myself mercy and forgiveness.
Chin.
I'm ready to make amends for being unkind to me in the past.
Collarbone.
And I choose to back myself now.
Under the arm.
Opening to greater self-love and acceptance.
Top of the head.
For the highest good of all.
And again just take a deep breath.
Just closing your eyes now.
Rest into your body for a moment.
And feel the possibility of this new relationship to you.
You are not the attacking thoughts or self judgments you've placed on yourself.
You are not the shame or guilt you've carried.
Those are just clouds passing by.
And as you awaken to more of your truth,
The love that you are naturally shines through.
As we complete this practice,
May you continue in the energy of it.
Offering yourself random acts of kindness and self-care to support your deepening effortlessly into self-love.
