Mindful Elevation

Happy 2024! We are so excited to kick off the year by bringing Leigh-Ann Larson, LMHC back on the podcast to talk about Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or tapping. Tapping is a holistic practice that targets certain points in the body, that when "tapped," will move energy in the body and change neuropathways in the brain. Rachael volunteers as tribute in this episode, as Leigh-Ann brings her though a personalized EFT session surrounding Rachael's New Years resolution.

Check out our YouTube recording of this episode here!

Emotional Freedom Technique Script for Self-Sabotage

If I [change of behavior],

• If I stop eating sugary foods and drinking hot chocolate,

I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.

Even though I’m afraid of [fear],

• Even though I’m afraid my identity would change and life wouldn’t be as fun,

I accept who I am and how I feel.

I’m afraid of [another related fear].

• I’m afraid of missing out on fun foods.

What if [how life would change negatively]?

• What if I’m not just fun to hang out with or eat out with anymore?

I’m afraid that [another fear].

• I’m afraid that my identity will be changed.

What if [another fear]?

• What if people really see that I’m not a fun person?

What if [outcome of fear]?

• And they would prefer not to hang out with me because I don’t eat fun foods?

I’m afraid that [fear].

• I’m afraid that I won’t be fun.

What if [another fear]?

• What if food is just boring and I am boring?

What if [another fear]?

• What if my change in identity makes life dull?

What if [another fear]?

• What if people really don’t see me the same way they see me now?

Acknowledge the resistance.

• I really, really don’t want those changes to happen.

I am afraid of [fear].

• I am afraid of missing out.

Even though I’m afraid,

And I [current belief that promotes no change in behavior],

• And I really don’t think water is as fun as hot chocolate,

I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.

Even though I’m afraid of [fear and changed behavior],

• Of FOMO and this identity of loving fruits and vegetables and water,

I accept who I am and how I feel.

Deep breath in, deep breath out.

Today's Energy Elevator dives into chapter three of Dr. Deepak Chopra's "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success," the Law of Karma or Cause and Effect. Chopra introduces a new definition to karma, which may contradict other known definitions, including, "You get what you give," or, "Karma is a cat purring in my lap 'cause it loves me." Karma is the law of reaping and sowing, action and consequence, cause and effect. This chapter covers how we can practice more mindfulness, compassion, and love in our actions so that, in turn, our lives are filled with positive consequences.

Over the next seven weeks, Rachael will be reviewing each of the spiritual laws. Today's law is the Law of Pure Potentiality. Your true Self is creativity, love, compassion, and acceptance. When you connect with your true Self, you open yourself up to the world's abundance. You can do so by practicing stillness, staying non-judgmental, and immersing yourself in nature.
