[Music] not getting the sleep that you need has huge consequences on your physical and mental health today you're going to learn how to use tapping and some other helpful techniques to help you get that restful night sleep to lead the way we are speaking to an extraordinary man Dr Dawson church let me tell you a little bit about Dawson he is an award-winning science writer with three bestselling books the genie in your genes mind to matter and the Bliss brain Dawson has conducted dozens of clinical trials and founded the National Institute for Integrative Health Care
to promote groundbreaking new treatments Dawson shares how to apply these health and performance breakthroughs at EFT universe.com that's one of the largest alternative medicine sites on the web you can also find some amazing programs there including the sign of overcoming insomnia I'm happy he's here to talk about this big challenge Dawson welcome I am so thrilled to be here Jessica I'm so thrilled everyone's here today and we're going to not just have a really insightful time together we're going to do some techniques that'll help you with anything that affects your Sleep Quality so I'm delighted
to be sharing today this is the one interview that I know if I yawn through it that you will be offended is so dolin when it comes to sleep challenges they're not all the same can you talk about the different common sleep challenges that people struggle with that tapping can help yeah I've done a number of clinical trials on insomnia and so we measure insomnia on an index that a scale from 0 to 10 but that masks a really disperate variety of problems and so what are the kinds of problems people have that are in
that General category of insomnia one of the most common ones is trouble falling asleep once you're asleep you're asleep that's fine but many people lie down they find themselves tossing and turning their minds are restless they can't settle down and drop into sleep sometimes for a long time sometimes for more than an hour so that's one common category another common category is problem with the quality of your sleep maybe you sleep maybe sleep 8 n hours a night but you don't feel refreshed when you wake up in the morning and you are uh uncomfortable you
move around a lot so Sleep Quality is impaired another one is you maybe go to bed on time you have a plan for your sleep you know how much sleep you need but then you find yourself waking up much earlier than you planned and you try to sleep later but you can't get back to sleep also also waking up in the middle of the night most of us experience this sometimes that you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't get back to sleep you try and get back to sleep you can't
sometimes you lie awake for hours and hours and hours now you've used a large part of your sleep window for being awake so you defe the whole process of being there in bed and then often when people wake up in the morning and they haven't had a good night's sleep they feel groggy they don't feel like meeting the day they don't feel as though they have the resource of a good night's sleep to meet their their responsibilities and their lives and so not feeling refreshed when you wake up in the morning is a big problem
and the final one that's most common according to research is nightmares dreams that disturb you and sometimes recurring dreams sometimes violent dreams and those wake you up and then you aren't able to settle back to sleep so those are some of the many problems that we lump together in This Global issue of insomnia yeah tell us a bit about the science that exists about insomnia it is really interesting and some of it's really counterintuitive Jessica like one of the things I've been told by doctors and all of us have been advised by the media and
coaches is you need eight hours sleep and so this is just like a fundamental assumption and fundamental standard that we we we we talk to people about and we expect about ourselves you need 8 hour sleep but but studies show that's just not true then a lot of sleep people need varies really widely some people need more than 8 hours some people need 9 hours or even 9 and a half hours of sleep to function and optimal other people if they get 8 hours they don't function that well for some people the magic number is
6 and a half hours now think about those two numbers 6 and 1/2 hours is optional for optimal for some people 9 and 1/2 hours is optimal for other people that's a really wide range so you need to find out how you work the average amount of stuff isn't good for the average person I'm 6'4 the average shirt would not fit me the average shoes fit me and the average shoes and shirt wouldn't wouldn't fit you so find out what what you need and a large Dutch study found that the op the average optimal tends
to be a little under eight hours it's more like 7 and a half hours for for the largest number of people again some more some less but if you're sleeping less than 8 hours don't think that you're wrecking your health because research shows it's not not that that way also when you don't sleep what happens so researchs let me interrupt you for one quick second because I want to get clear on that when you say find out what works for you do you mean to say just just notice you know instead of just going by
the research begin to notice what feels optimal is that how you figure out what's best for you one way you can notice what's best for you is to keep a sleep journal of some kind and so when you wake up in the morning just notice how much sleep you got and make a note of that another one that's really easy now is to measure that on your your your your phone on your wrist held device like you have have a watch most new watches come with sleep trackers you can use a uh sleep tracking device
like an OA ring there are all kinds of ways of tracking sleep and sleep quality so when you have an ideal night's sleep and you wake up feeling fantastic how long did you sleep how often did you wake up during the night how Restless were you during the night so start to learn your own biology there don't accept the averages because again if you do you'll wind up wearing a shirt that's much too small for you or or shoes are much too tight or or vice versa so um yeah yeah make a note of your
sleep patterns and then find out what your ideal pattern is um again one study found that people who aren't sleeping well have a shorten life expectancy of 12% really major shift in life expectancy if they W sleeping well car accidents uh lack of sleepers associated with with car accidents mental health disorders people who aren't sleeping well have much higher rates of anxiety and depression physical diseases this is a pretty depressing list so maybe we'll just tap while we go through it just tap along with me these are the diseases associated with insomnia okay obesity diabetes
high blood pressure heart disease inflammation General inflammation throughout the body pain seizures asthma Strokes now I wanted you to tap there because I I taught a class of insomnia a lot when I start listing all of these problems Jessica people get upset so no it's that's a really good point where the reason we're listing these is to give you motivation sometimes when you hear how dire the problem is because because we get so busy that we think I'll figure out my sleep later or I just you know life gets so busy but when we hear
about obesity and about the death rate it can stop us in our track and say you know I'm actually going to spend time listening to The Summit I'm going to really commit to doing these things it's it's to support us not to manifest to create that in our lives so I like that you're tapping because stressing about the amount of sleep you get does not help stressing about what could happen doesn't help but being aware and using it to empower you can absolutely motivating yourself with this and then I'm going to show you in a
moment the research on EFT and how it dramatically transforms sleep so if this is depressing just wait till the next start the lane is coming all right let's go let's go so to get to get through the bad news for just the last few bits of it in in in laboratory mice cancer grows twice as fast in mice who are sleep deprived so decreased immune function increased canc growth low energy levels High cortisol that which affects mood thinking energy and our brain's ability to learn drops by 40% when we're sleep deied poor emotion regulation your
amydala your brain's fire alarm that sends the phal flight signal through your body that becomes 60% more reactive when you slept poorly or too little so all of these things are contributing to our a lack of well-being and that's why it's critical that we we follow through we learn EFT we learn to reduce our stress we learn to meditate we learn to do all the things that contribute to to way sleep so those are all the reasons why it's important to have these facts and to pay attention and to really focus on getting the best
possible sleep wonderful okay give us give us the good stuff give us the research give us the capping what hope do we have with capping there I've done many studies with veterans uh and vet Iraq War veterans uh Vietnam War veterans some older Korean War veterans and what we found is that sleep is one of the first things that improves and in one randomized control trial I did with with 59 veterans mostly Veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars we found a dramatic Improvement in sleep in three sessions a normalization of sleep in six sessions
so they came into the trial with high levels of insomnia they by three sessions they were much better by six sessions they were fine and one of them said this is just this this this um message that we got from one of them was just remarkable he came in for a second session with his therapist who's a wonderful psychologist called ly janilla and he came in for his second session after he learned tapping in his first session and he said to Linda after that first session with you I got my first full night sleep since
Vietnam wow now think about that 40 plus years of clinical insomnia not sleeping one night and after tapping the first session he got his first full let steep since Vietnam so tapping is that powerful let me ask you a quick question dson so when it comes to tapping we can we're going to do some tapping for sleep today but if someone's listening to another interview in the summit say they're doing something on um you know they're just listening to something else that's not related to sleep do you find that tapping on an emotion and feeling
that release impacts your sleep even if you're not directly focused on sleep yes because these veterans were focused on sleep they were focused on trauma they were bringing in lists of traumatic events from their childhood from their combat time and they were ranking those events on a scale of 0 to 10 so they talk about the mortar attack in um in in Vietnam they talk about the roadside bomb in Afghanistan and they would describe these events they'd score them 0 through 10 we tap on them on several events usually during one session and then spontaneously
their insomnia is getting better because their cortisol is going down and their amydala is regulated their emotions are no longer so hyper all the symptoms of PTSD like hypervigilance like um like uh focus on the bad stuff on the negative stuff around them all of those symptoms are dropping and the result of that lowered stress is better sleep yes that makes a lot of sense and that's also helpful to know that we're going to be doing tapping here specifically on sleep but doing all of the other work regulating releasing stress all of that is helping
the Sleep absolutely yeah so we focus on all of our stressors we focus on all the events in our lives that that have had led us to disregulated sleep and and high stress and better sleep is a byproduct of that you can also tap directly for sleep like people will tap for example when they're going to sleep I usually tap myself late in the day and just release all the stuff that's gone on in the day I know I've had a very intense day and then I'll usually tap at the end of the day just
let it all go uh just a general tapping some general tapping rounds to release it all in the morning I wake up I usually tap first thing in the morning because I don't want to get into the thinking of the the structure of the day all the events I have planned for the day I'm going to stay in that sleepy that like uh partially awake mode for a little while so I can meditate there and tapping helps me release any tendency to dash into activity so I can spend a while in that meditative state so
you can tap directly uh on on on things to do with Sleep Quality when you're awake in the middle of the night for example you can tap and you might find that settles you down also metal tapping is great like when I am when I when I wake wake up in the middle of the night I find that if I tap on myself directly it's a little too stimulating so I'll do mental tapping and mil Cal me down so at any of pressing is holding mhm touch and breathe you can use touch and breathe as
well that's just taking a breath while you put pressure on a point and you'll you'll find as the instructions for touch and breathe are in the EFT manual along with using e for insomnia wonderful um any anything else you want to mention about the research before we move on to an experience just that there are many trials bft clinical trials that include a measure of insomnia as we've seen now that it works in many groups besides veterans and the effects are are remarkable usually people who are stressed have high levels of insomnia once they've learned
tapping they have much lower levels insomnia and the other thing to think about here is that we are interwoven human beings like in the 1970s medicine began to talk about the body mind connection well we're far more than just an interconnected body mind we are multi-dimensional beings and so we live in information Fields our brains are much more like transducers of information from Global Information Fields than they are of as Originators of Consciousness so we're downloading information from all kinds of other sources even our human energy Fields extend a long way from our body when
we interact with other people they interact our energy Fields interact and so we're in this energy environment and and so when you reduce your stress when you're much more peaceful when you're being much more fulfilled when your whole um when your whole life is far less stressful than all kinds of other benefits into you so insomnia is a symptom it's not actually the problem and you want to go as deep as possible and go as Global as possible with your well-being insomnia clears up another thing that clears up with these veterans is sexual dysfunction a
lot of them have sexual problems and so those tend to just go away spontaneously did we focus on them no they just clear up automatically a lot of the veterans have digestive problems they're they're you know they're popping uh digestive AIDS they have they have acid reflux all kinds of digested problems those go away well to be focus on those didn't focus on those either if you reduce stress everything tends to balance out and get better so that's the thing to focus on use efp on what stresses you most and insomnia is a byproduct of
the Improvement yes I want to highlight that insomnia is not the problem it's the symptom that is that's profound knowledge so with that we're going to have an experience we're going to have a few experiences the first one is a process that you've created that incorporates tapping different than the traditional EFT but tell us a little bit about ecomeditation it's so funny Jessica I was at a conference in 2009 and there were all these great people there with different methods so I was there with the fft and we had Joe despenza there we had Roland
mccrady from heartmath there and so as I'd meet these various authors and talk about their work we were saying how great heartmath was and how effective mindfulness was and how good self- hypnosis was and near feedback bio feedback and I thought one day I wonder what would happen if we put them all together we know they all work individually but I remember being a little kid and being like 6 years old and being led by my grandmother by the hand into an ice cream store and then there were all these different ice creams like you
know 29 different flavors there and she said now choose one like con I can't ever choose one ever I know I need know I can't don't give me one ice cream option not happy I would you no no and so I thought in that conference in 2009 I thought how about if I choose all of them how about if I choose every single flavor what if we use stack these things together what if we stack quick coherence technique from heart matat on top of tapping and then we stack mindfulness and then buy a feedback and
near a feedback and self hypnosis and all of those things together would we explode we fall asleep is what happens as you fall asleep what well what happened was really interesting so I began doing this myself and it felt really powerful because suddenly I could meditate easily and up to that point it had been really hard for me to meditate I learned to meditate when I was a teenager but you know you close your eyes you try and still your mind of course your mind isn't still in the least and your mind is highly active
you can't really get into a peaceful place what I found with the this stack was you got the benefits of all of them together so it takes about 5 minutes to do them all and we'll do them all as part of this routine also do this when you wake up in the morning or when you go to bed at night and you really regulate your body when I show you that this kind of Stack we call the stack Eco meditation Eco meditation so we we stack these five things together and you get super relaxed but
you're also pretty alert so you aren't like zoned out you're in this deeply relaxed State and you haven't had a stal mind you haven't had to chant Mantra you haven't had to have any kind of spiritual education or or belief and it gets people to the the state in fact one researcher study it said that after the first session she saw the same brain wave activity in the brains of people doing e meditation as she saw in the brains of advanced 10,000 hour meditators the first try so it really gets you that fast I'd love
to have an experience with everyone else and obviously if you're driving don't do this if you're yourself some time to have this experience if you're listening to this in the car or while you're cleaning the house and you can't if you can stop please stop and have the experience if not just uh you know come back to us or if you if you own this just fast forward this you can come back to this moment anytime you need to yeah so to begin with just settle yourself quietly wherever you are so find the most comfortable
position where you are right now and if you want to go to another room in the house or go to another place that's special to you and make yourself comfortable there do that and then you'll keep your eyes open for the first part because we'll tap and for those who don't know where the points are it's just handy to do this with your eyes open to start with so we'll Begin by tapping on the points and just without words tuning into the body noticing stress held in the body now why is this important it's important
because we tend to hold stress in the same place all our lives and even though we have different things that stress us out and even though we have different life periods we may be 20 we may be 70 we may be anywhere in between people tend to hold their stress in the same locations in their body so keep your eyes open and without words you'll focus on where you tend to hold stress is it in your throat in your forehead back of your neck tension in your shoulders your back belly so tap with me now
on the side of handpoint and just scan your body top to bottom there is any places where you're holding tension and let them go where is it you personally hold tension let that go notice your breathing notice your breath flowing in and out and now tap on the top of your head it's your governing Meridian as you tap on the top of your head again scan your body top to bottom notice any tension and release notice your breathing and now tap where your eyebrow meets The Ridge of your nose your bladder Meridian and again notice
any any pace of your body holding tension notice your breathing tap on the side of your eye your gold bladder Meridian notice the breath flowing in and out tap under your eye under the pupil of your eye again noticing your breathing and see if there are any pockets of tension held in your body maybe tiny ones you haven't been before let those pockets of tension go tap under your nose let see your breathing tap on your chin and just scan your whole body your head your shoulders neck chest belly pet legs letting all the rest
of the tension leave your body so you tap your central Meridan and then tap on your kidney Meridian right below your collarbone where it meets your breast [Music] bone very relax a little bit of tension leaves your body now feeling your breath tapping under your arm about 4 in below the armp head then one last Point tap on the small intestine mer in one more time side of hand notice your breathing and notice how even this short round of tapping without words focusing only on the body and on the breath helps you relax stop tapping
relax your hands close your eyes focus on your breath again and imagine your breath flowing in and out through your heart through the center of your chest and as you breathe in and out through your heart slow your breathing down to 6 seconds per in breath and six seconds for out breath and keep on breathing in and out through your heart 6 seconds in 6 seconds out and relax your tongue on the floor of your mouth notice any tension in your tongue and relax it completely as you breathe it in out through your heart six
seconds and now notice the volume of space inside your feet notice the volume of space inside your legs notice the volume of space and inside your hips your pelvis your abdomen notice the volume of space inside your belly inside your back inside your chest inside your torso notice the volume of space inside your hands and arms inside your shoulders and neck inside your head and inside your whole body notice how relax your tongue is on the floor of your mouth notice your breath in and out through your heart 6 seconds in and 6 seconds out
and notice the energy of life in all the cells of your body and imagine Life Energy pouring in through the top of your head energizing yourselves filling you with that life energy that Life Energy awakens all your energy centers especially your heart center as you breathe in and out six seconds through your heart now think of a being who loves you unconditionally could be a guardian angel Saint a master a guide an archetype but this being has has unconditional love for you could be an animal or pet this is a being that holds you in
unconditional love and feel a beam of energy connecting you now running from your heart to this being of unconditional love feel the unconditional love flowing from your heart to this being and notice that beam of connection between you and this being of unconditional love notice the color of the cery beam notice the shape and texture of the energy beam notice any other characteristics of your heart energy beam as it connects you with this being of unconditional love notice how good your body feels to tune in to unconditional love notice the breath flowing in and out
6 seconds through your heart let us your tongue relaxed on the floor of your mouth notice the space the volume of space between your eyes notice Life Energy pouring in through the top of your head filling you with life Illuminating every cell in your body with Life Energy notice how relaxed your tongue is on the floor of your mouth notice the infinite space between your eyes notice your breath flowing in and out through your heart and this beam of energy connecting you with this being of unconditional love and now gently detach your heart energy being
from that being and bring it all the way back inside your own heart and smile with gratitude have the privilege of being filled with unconditional love and all these good feelings all these wonderful feelings in your body of connection and as you feel these wonderful feelings in your body of connection of balance of Attunement of gratitude as you smile with joy and appreciation Cross Your Hands over your heart and tap gently with the fingertips of the hand nearest the skin on your heart area and anchor in these feelings and know that anytime you want to
you can tune in to the source of unconditional love you can tap away your stress you can release anything and everything that keeps you from a good night's sleep you can let go of all the pressures and distractions and worries of the day and now reverse your hands tap with the fingertips of the other hand I know that any time you can tune in feel your body feel the love feel this good inside your body releas your stress balance your body for optimal function in every way and that this feeling in your body is what
being unstressed feels like and you can go there any time you choose stop tapping relax your hands and with the next three breaths prepare to return your attention back back to the Here and Now back to your environment back to the world around you and notice the volume of space inside your body notice the volume of space inside your feet and through your feet ground yourself all the way down into the center of the earth grounding your energy to align with the Earth to connect with the Earth to do strength from the earth and toiv
a grounded life in which you're both able to feel and be unconditional love and also be effective and grounded as a human being on the planet and with the next breath open your eyes look around you so cool the way around and keep your eyes soft your gaze unfocused and notice any gloss objects in the room with [Music] you notice the largest Brown object visible from where you are right now notice if there are any number sevens visible from where you are now are there any instances of the near World 7 you can see right
now just welcome yourself back into your body with another breath and feel how good it feels just to take that time to connect with the all that is connect with your body connect with un conditional love and know that you produced all these positive feelings in your body just with your awareness with your Consciousness and that's the power of our awareness to shift physical emotional and mental functioning oh excuse me exuse came Dawson I'm happy you brought us back because I was I left this interview I don't know what everybody else was doing but I
left and that was so wonderful thank you so much I love that you Incorporated the tapping to just settle into our body and you just this is what I love about the tapping is that it works so beautifully with other things as well it almost makes other modalities even easier because we have that initial relaxation this is something that people can come back to again and again they can Mark the Spot and just start it at the beginning and have this full experience before falling asleep if you didn't take me out of it I I
feel like I could have fallen asleep in my chair but this is um wonderful and I can see the benefits of doing this before bed but also in the morning absolutely it's not just about sleep it's about a certain State yes yeah and so you do get way out there and then that's wonderful to do that because research shows that if you connect with the old it is if you if you're able to move into those Transcendent states of mind that all kinds of powerful things happen in your body you become much more emotionally and
mentally stable and over time things like brain functions start to improve we showed in one clinical trial one randomized control trial that doing this for 30 days produced a a permanent anatomical change in your brain and the part of the brain that is obsessed with suffering and my life my worries my future my past all of these things that make people crazy that part of the brain dialed way down in function and the part of the brain that had to do with gratitude and awe and joy and compassion dialed way up and that was the
that was the ongoing state of those people after just a month of this even when they weren't meditating so it starts to affect your whole life as well as your sleep yes oh that was such a beautiful experience thank you for that and it's you gave us a real gift because again we can come back to that again and again so you showed us how tapping can be used in a beautiful way with this process we have a little time left I again earlier on we talked about how even tapping that's not related to sleep
is going to help us sleep so the rest of the summit can help you have a good night's sleep as we're doing the tapping if we just want to sit and do some basic EFT how can that support us with sleep what does that look like yeah so you can use EFT for stress which will affect many things including your sleep but you can use use EFT directly on sleep and so what you want to do is you want to have a super clear intention and then tap on that and so if your problem for
example is falling asleep rapidly that would be your intention your attention your affirmation would be I fall asleep rapidly rapidly now with EFT we usually focus on the obstacles and allow those to dissipate and change the energy around that with tapping so your affirmation would then be I now release any and every obstacle to falling asleep rapidly and those obstacles again are ones you've been rehearsing for many many years you've been not falling asleep and feeling those problems in your body and your mind for many many years so you're going to address those directly you
AR going to pretend they you aren't going to pretend they don't exist you you you focus on them but you focus on them you evoke them then you let them go so that's a direct way of using EFT on a particular problem if your problem is waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to P back to sleep then before you go to sleep just tap and say I now prepare myself for an untroubled night's sleep sometimes I know I'm not going to have a good night's sleep like if I'm traveling
and I'm changing time zones and there is AR enough hours to have a good night's sleep I'll tap for that as well um in fact when I am like going on a long trip like to Europe I uh I I tap every few hours and um move myself psychologically into the current time zone out of the time zone I've been in and I find that I've been able to avoid jet lag by doing that so I move myself progressively into the the area I'm in the the zone I'm in and then I sleep in the
rhythm of that time zone immediately usually I'm on the new time zone even if it's 12 15 18 hours different I'm there the first day so what do what do you mean by that do you just imagine that time you just notice what time so you know if you're going from say here I'm Easter time I'm going to England I know it's five hours difference every hour I just in my mind tap while I think about it being 2 o'clock instead of 1 o'clock then 3 o'clock instead of one o'clock uh Jessica what I'll do
here is uh we hadn't planned this but I'll uh if you'd like we'll have an unannounced bonus and I'll give you a brief PDF report on how to eliminate jet lag with EFT and other energy therapy techniques so I'll say that along for the summit cuz you can't I mean you say that and I'm like tell me everything I I haven't done that before so yeah thank you so much for that gift I'd love that it's amazing because literally my wife and I will fly from California to Germany and we'll be totally fine no jet
lag and we'll fly back the other direction no jet flag and what what we do do as far as tapping goes there are a few things besides tapping as well but like what we'll do is when when we're say on East Coast time we'll tap and say my body is now on East Coast time so we're in the plane we traveled 5 hours we're crossing the Atlantic coast of the us and we'll tap and put ourselves in that time zone then a little bit later we'll we'll be on Greenland time zone we'll tap and be
on that time zone so we'll do it four or five times on the plane on the way there then when we get there we'll tap and say okay my body's now on Central European Time and we we affirm that we may do it two or three times later on that day too but if you think about that we' tapped maybe five times for 2 minutes that's 10 minutes to reduce jet lag I mean that's a very small investment for a really big gain and then you're back on you write on that that time zone immediately
we're going to put that bonus inside of the workbook I think that would be a great thing to have and it just it this all makes sense I like I even want to Loop this back to what you said in the very beginning when you said find what works for you when it comes to the hours because when we have in our brain that it has to be eight hours and we don't get eight hours what happens we stress when we have this belief that time changes have to be hard on our body what happens
we stress and so we're seeing that it's all the stress and the worry about sleep or lack of sleep that can contribute even more even though it's our brain trying to find a solution it makes the problem worse absolutely yeah and my affirmation there is maybe I go to bed and and I'm only going to get 3 hours sleep and my affirmation then is I know I'm only going to get 3 hours sleep and I will wake up feeling completely refreshed just as though I got a full night sleep I've done on red eyes several
times red ey flights I no only get say 3 hours sleep or 4 hour sleep but I affirm I will wake up being completely refreshed and it is amazing I do so again that's amazing Dawson well thank you so much for everything that you've shared any final thought before we wrap up one of the genius things about EFT is in the setup statement the second half of it is I deeply and completely accept myself or I deeply and completely love myself and that is perhaps the biggest stress reduction statement that there ever could be because
we're saying however things are you know my health isn't that great money isn't work for me right now my relationship sucks my kids are blah blah blah you all these things that are always going on uh and yet if you can just tap and say I totally I completely love and accept myself and my life the way it is just like it is and not want it to be different that by itself will take away the majority of your stress like there are two ways to be happy one is to Aspire to get everything you
want the other is to be completely content with exactly what you have and so EFT is number two we just simply let ourselves be the way we are I didn't get the promotion I wanted I don't have the money I want my health isn't the way I prefer and I deeply love myself right at the place I am just the way I am that such a profound statement Majestic and we say it thousands of times as we tap but if you want to reduce stress that's the fundamental thing to get to is self-acceptance and acceptance
of everything that is just the way it is because then you are fundamentally happy and then you have a much more fun and enjoyable life so don't don't underestimate this technique it sounds so simple even though I this problem I deeply and completely accept myself but loving yourself just the way you are loving your life the way it is even if you aren't getting enough sleep even if sleep's a problem for you even if you're suffering deficits and worries and other ways just to terms with your life and accept and love yourself you are lovable
exactly the way you are you are lovable unimproved if you never fix yourself you are still fundamentally perfect and lovable so yes yes thank you for that my that yes and again I'm GNA we're going to put some more tapping meditations in the workbook based on that I think it's important for people to just have an experience without over complicating things tapping first sleep or sleep challenges a lot of times they've been following us for years and so we think well it can't be easy and I got to find the perfect setup statement and I
have to find the perfect it's like try the ego meditation try a tapping you know a tapping meditation give yourself the chance because it is such a forgiving process and it's amazing when we just give ourselves the freedom to just give it a try what can happen absolutely yeah so that's a good way to to to to leave this is just use it be content with the way your life is use the tapping and and again don't be a patient of change either it may take you you may find things changing very quickly some things
will change very fast some things may take a while be patient with the process there too yeah well at least it's enjoyable right we're not like it's not an hour of Agony we just get to tap feel good in the moment so it's it's a pretty awesome doen thank you so much for your wisdom your laugh and sense of humor all of your sit it's always so wonderful to speak with you thanks for joining us oh I love connecting I love sharing thank you
