Karate Chop:
Even though I have a lot of fear, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I have been carrying a lot of fear since childhood I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I ‘m always living in the fear of the unknown, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
Even though I’m always in a state of fight or flight, I choose to feel safe right here right now.
Even though I learned to be in fear a long time ago, I choose to acknowledge that is then and this is now.
Feel free to move through the points and tap along using the following statements:
My nervous system is wired for unsafety and threat and I’m always hypervigilant scanning my environment for danger.
I have to be on guard all the time to protect myself and the people around me
Sometimes, I tend to absorb the nervous energy of others and get even more fearful
I acknowledge all my fears and the fears of everyone around me
I don’t feel safe when I think about all that is going on around me in this world.
I’m afraid I’m unable to connect with myself or anybody because of all this fear in me
How can I lead a calm and peaceful life with all the fears running through my body?
I don’t know who to trust and not trust at this time
This feeling of unsafety keeps my energy stuck and I feel so constricted in my body
I feel so constricted in my mind; I’m unable to think and function
There is so much fear in every cell of my body that I’m unable to enjoy and appreciate all that is around me
I’m trying really hard to be positive and pretend that I’m not afraid; but I’m really afraid each and every moment
What if I can choose a new thought instead of fear; I’m really trying but it’s not so easy
Moving from a state of fear to a state of not having fear at all is a huge leap for me
I don’t think I can do that; but I’m willing to tap and let myself free of the fear by acknowledging and embracing the fears in me
By just acknowledging and being present with my fears lets the fears move through me.
I give myself permission to feel the fear and give my fears a voice because I was told not to be afraid and it’s not okay to have fears.
As I continue to tap, soothe and calm my nervous system, the fears start to dissipate and give me space and energy to think clearly.
When I start thinking clearly, I can understand how and in what ways this fear is serving me.
Some ideas on tapping for fear
Who would I be if I let go of this fear?
Where did I learn this fear?
What experiences in my life taught me to be fearful of this situation?
Name the fear
Give it a number on a scale of 0-10
Do three rounds of global tapping naming the fear
Can you think of any specific events, or memories related to the fear
Write them down and tap on each one of them
If you are afraid to think about the fear, put the fear in a box and lock it.
And tap on the fear of looking or facing the fear.
This will help you bring the numbers down.
When the numbers are between 0 to 3, you can open the box and tap on the fear.
Do several rounds of tapping naming the fear.
When you remember a specific event or memory, tap on it.
Tap on what you see, smell, taste, hear and felt during the experience.
When you are done, go back and tune into the fear and see if you still have it.
