Hello and welcome to today's EFT Tapping with me,
Tamara Petallan.
Let's tap together today on releasing any shame we have about holding excess fat on our bodies.
When we use the tapping technique,
We gently rewire the brain by sending a calming signal to the amygdala.
This allows us to shift limiting beliefs that are keeping us stuck in old habits and patterns.
Because when it comes to excess weight,
It is ironic that the very shame we have about the weight is keeping the weight on.
We will never shame ourselves thinner,
Quite the opposite.
The path to greater health is through self-love and acceptance.
So with that in mind,
Let's tap now and shake off our fat shame.
First,
Using a scale from 0 to 10,
Decide how intensely you feel ashamed about your weight,
About the fat on your body,
10 being the strongest.
And we ideally want to tap until this number drops somewhere from 0 to 3,
That might not be today,
So keep tapping till you get it down there.
Although you may find that any remaining energetic residue works its way out after a sleep cycle.
Once you have your number,
Start by tapping on the karate chop point on the fleshy side of either hand and say the following out loud.
Even though I'm ashamed of being overweight,
I completely love and accept myself.
Even though I'm ashamed of being overweight and I'm ashamed of the way I look,
I accept and respect my feelings about this.
Even though I feel so much shame about being overweight and it makes me want to hide myself away,
I choose to relax and forgive myself now.
Okay pause,
Take a deep breath in through the nose and now continue tapping around the face and body,
Starting with the point at the start of one or both eyebrows.
So tapping on your beginning of your eyebrow point,
I'm ashamed of being overweight.
And now take your fingertips around to the side of your eye,
I'm ashamed of my size.
Now gently tapping under your eye,
I feel ashamed of all this fat on my body.
Tapping under your nose,
I hate looking at the fat parts of my body.
Chin,
I don't like seeing photos of myself.
Collarbone,
I don't like looking at myself naked in the mirror.
Under the arm,
I don't want other people to see my fat body.
Top of the head,
I often feel disgusting.
Eyebrow,
It reminds me of all those mean things that have been said to me in the past.
Side of the eye,
I imagine people are thinking to themselves about how fat I am.
Under the eye,
Well they're thinking about how much weight I've gained since they last saw me.
Under the nose,
It makes me burn with shame.
Chin,
Shame that I let myself get like this.
Collarbone,
Shame that I can't shed this weight.
Under the arm,
I feel trapped in this fat suit that I can't shake off.
Top of the head,
And this shame is impacting my life in every way.
Eyebrow,
From beach holidays to reunions,
Nights out and more.
Side of the eye,
I'm constantly anxious about how I look.
Under the eye,
I'm constantly feeling judged.
Under the nose,
I'm just so ashamed of myself.
Chin,
This shame has been with me a very long time.
Collarbone,
I should be ashamed of myself,
I've heard that before.
Under the arm,
Who first told me that I wonder.
Top of the head,
I should be ashamed of myself.
Eyebrow,
I have memories of certain people telling me that.
Side of the eye,
People telling me I should be ashamed of myself.
Under the eye,
And I feel that burning shame inside me when I remember.
Under the nose,
I wonder if those comments were the seed of my extra weight.
Chin,
Maybe the shame resulted in the extra weight.
Collarbone,
Instead of it being the other way around.
Under the arm,
I wish I knew how to let go of this shame.
Top of the head,
I don't want to feel like this anymore.
Eyebrow,
If this shame was going to help me find happiness.
Side of the eye,
It would have done that by now.
Under the eye,
This shame is no good to me.
Under the nose,
This shame is sabotaging my happiness.
Chin,
And it's time to let it go.
Collarbone,
I've wasted too much time on this shame.
Under the arm,
It's time to let it go.
Top of the head,
It's time to let all the shame go from my body,
Mind and soul.
Now,
Pause for a moment,
Stop tapping.
Close your eyes and take a long deep inhale through the nose,
And then exhale through the mouth.
Give yourself a couple of seconds to consider that anything that came up for you while we were tapping.
Any old memories,
Grudges,
Emotions.
And if you want to pause this and just tap on anything else for as long as you need to,
Then go and do that.
And when you're ready to continue,
Bring your fingers to your eyebrow point and repeat after me.
I wonder if I could live without feeling all the shame about my weight.
Side of the eye,
Maybe my weight isn't actually that shameful.
Under the eye,
What if my size and my body is nothing to be ashamed of?
Under the nose,
And maybe holding on to the shame means holding on to the excess fat.
Chin,
Because I can hide behind this fat.
Collarbone,
People can't see the real me when I'm hiding behind this fat.
Under the arm,
If they can't see me,
They can't hurt me.
Top of the head,
Maybe this fat is offering me protection.
Eyebrow,
Maybe I no longer need that protection.
Side of the eye,
Because I've got nothing to be ashamed of.
Under the eye,
In fact I've got plenty to be proud of.
Under the nose,
I've done many great things in my life.
Chin,
I've got so many great qualities.
Collarbone,
And so many talents and abilities.
Under the arm,
It's time to drop the time-wasting shame.
Top of the head,
And use more of my awesome talents and abilities.
Eyebrow,
I have so much to offer the world.
Side of the eye,
I'm capable of so much.
Under the eye,
This ridiculous shame is getting in the way.
Under the nose,
I choose to let go of all the shame in my body.
Chin,
I choose to release all the shame from every cell of my body.
Collarbone,
I now release the shame attached to painful memories.
Under the arm,
I choose to no longer allow others to make me feel shameful.
Top of the head,
I no longer give them that power.
Eyebrow,
I now reclaim my power to decide how I feel.
Side of the eye,
And I choose to feel proud of my body,
My incredible body.
Under the eye,
And excited about all the things I can do with my body.
Under the nose,
My body is a beautiful miracle and a gift from God.
Chin,
I choose to stand in my power.
Collarbone,
I choose to own my power and honor my body.
Under the arm,
There is no place for shame in my life.
Top of the head,
I release every last molecule of shame from my being now.
Okay,
Stop tapping.
Another pause.
Close the eyes.
Inhale deeply through the nose.
Long,
Slow inhale.
And even longer,
Slower exhale.
Again,
If you want to pause this and tap some more positive statements,
Anything else that you feel you need to say,
Go ahead and do that.
A good sign of being finished is when you naturally want to take some extra deep breaths,
Or if you yawn,
Or if you need to shake your body a little bit,
Maybe shake your shoulders.
And when you're bringing the session to an end,
Tap on the right edge of the fingernails of the left hand,
One by one,
Starting with your thumbnail.
Repeat after me.
There is a part of me that already knows how to live without feeling shame for being overweight.
Index finger,
That part of me is informing the rest of me now.
Middle finger,
This information transfer is taking place with ease and grace.
Ring finger,
Just a little bit of tapping there.
And now give you a little pinky finger.
This information transfer is now complete.
Another deep inhale through the nose.
Long exhale through the mouth.
Cross your hands over your heart and say,
Transform.
And now in your mind's eye,
I want you to imagine this new knowledge of how to live without being ashamed of being overweight is pouring into every cell of your physical and energetic bodies until your whole being vibrates with this new frequency of unconditional love.
And take the time to visualize this happening.
Watch as every cell of your body absorbs and reflects this new information.
Watch your cells release the old patterns and witness the new choices being encoded into your DNA.
And now slowly open your eyes onto a world in which you are no longer ashamed of yourself.
No longer ashamed of yourself for being overweight or ashamed of yourself for anything else.
Well done.
So go back to the number you had at the start of the session and see if it has shifted.
If not,
Keep tapping on whatever came up for you.
And if you feel called to,
Repeat this session as often as you can,
Daily perhaps,
Until you get some kind of aha moment,
Some kind of breakthrough.
I wish you every success.
I send you lots of love.
Namaste.
