Not feeling valuable is a belief many struggle with, and it can severely limit our potential and happiness. It keeps us caught in cycles of self-doubt. However, you can change this pattern with a powerful technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping. This technique not only promotes healing but also empowers you to reclaim your self-worth. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to effectively use EFT tapping during your "Just Breathe Session" to overcome feelings of unworthiness.
Understanding EFT Tapping
EFT tapping, or tapping therapy, blends cognitive therapy and acupressure. By tapping specific points on the body while vocalizing your thoughts and feelings, you can promote emotional healing. Studies show that EFT can reduce anxiety by up to 40%. By releasing negative emotions associated with feeling unvaluable, you can pave the way for improvement in both mental and physical wellbeing.
Preparing for Your EFT Tapping Session
Before you begin your EFT tapping, it's crucial to create the right environment and mindset. Follow these steps:
Create a Comfortable Space: Choose a quiet, peaceful spot where you can focus without interruptions. This will help you relax fully.
Clarify Your Intentions: Think about the specific feelings related to your sense of unworthiness. Consider writing them down. For example, you might focus on beliefs like "I am not good enough" or "I don’t contribute anything valuable."
Practice Mindful Breathing: Spend a few minutes taking deep breaths. This helps calm your mind and release physical tension. Research shows that mindful breathing can reduce stress and anxiety, making you more receptive during your session.
The EFT Tapping Sequence
To effectively tackle feelings of being unvaluable, follow this structured tapping sequence:
Step 1: Identify the Issue
Choose the specific belief to address, such as "I feel unvaluable." Rate the intensity of this feeling on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no distress. For instance, if you rate it an 8, it indicates significant emotional weight.
Step 2: The Setup Statement
Create a setup statement that recognizes your feelings while promoting self-acceptance. For example: "Even though I feel unvaluable, I deeply and completely accept myself." Say this statement aloud while tapping the karate chop point on the side of your hand. This foundational step validates your feelings while reinforcing self-love.
Step 3: Tapping Points
Use the following acupressure points while voicing your feelings:
Eyebrow Point: "I feel unvaluable."
Side of the Eye: "I feel worthless."
Under the Eye: "This belief impacts my confidence."
Under the Nose: "I feel sad and frustrated about this."
Chin Point: "I hear my self-doubt."
Collarbone Point: "I want to change my mindset."
Under the Arm: "I release any attachment to being unloved."
Top of the Head: "I choose to let go of this limiting belief."
Step 4: Assess and Repeat
After completing this sequence, reassess the intensity of your belief. Ideally, you should feel a decrease from your initial score. If you started at an 8, look for it to drop to a 5 or lower.
Feel free to repeat the tapping sequence, making adjustments to your setup statements and phrases based on any new insights or emotions. This iterative process is key as it allows you to refine your focus and deepen your healing.
Benefits of Tapping in Your Just Breathe Session
EFT tapping can be integrated into your Just Breathe Session to offer a deeper level of exploration and bring about a wide range of benefits.
