This morning
as normal I started my day with meditation. I decided on a lovely track
of frogs noises. There is something about that repetitive sound that
helps me really clear my mind and prevent distraction.
While
meditating I felt like doing some Silent Tapping.
What is Silent Tapping?
Well it is
really what it says on the tin. Tapping as you would normally but without
saying a word. So you would in essence do your setup and sequence tapping
in complete silence and continually.
Why would I want to tap Silently?
Well
sometimes you just get the urge to do tapping but not sure what you are working
on specifically or you don't fancy focussing on self-work in its usual EFT form
right that moment.
Sometimes
you may be in a group setting and just tapping along with the group without
saying anything or working on anything particularly.
Maybe you
feel uncomfortable to reveal any of your issue you are working on to a group or
someone close to you. You may be sitting at work and just need some
discrete tapping but unable to say anything out loud.
In a
religious situation you may like to tap while listening to a prayer or in a
spiritual sense you may want to tap during a meditation.
So what do I do?
Well this
morning I fancied tapping during my meditation. I didn't really have
anything to work on particularly but just fancied that lovely feeling of
calmness I enjoy using EFT Silent Tapping.
Instead of
doing a setup, I go straight to the sequence so from Top of Head to Underarm
Points. I continue tapping 3-7 times on each point silently while listening
to my meditation sound or track. (Some practitioners start with the EB
point and end with TOH point - this is perfectly fine - try both options and
see what you prefer).
Sometimes,
like this morning, I had my headphones on so it was a bit difficult to tap on
Top of Head so I started with my Eyebrow (EB) point instead of the Top of Head
point.
Also,
another way to use Silent Tapping is to just tap using your favourite
point. This varies for me on occasion but I find the Collarbone Point
(CB) so effective and versatile especially when driving. So I would just
continually tap on my Collarbone Point throughout silently.
When in a
meeting or a situation where tapping is a bit difficult or obvious I will
resort to silently do some Finger Tapping. Using the Finger Tapping
points under the table in a meeting for example or while pushing a shopping
trolley.
I also enjoy
the Sore Spot for silent tapping. On this spot I prefer rubbing the spot
in a circular motion and the sensation of release and calm is like heaviness
dropping from the top of your head down to the ground slowly. It is
wonderful.
Have a
tapping day!
