As within, so without....
Do you know about EFT? EFT, a.k.a. Emotional Freedom
Technique, was developed by a man name Gary Craig. It is a beautiful way of breaking of
energetic blocks and of moving energy through the body. If we are to bloom, we cannot let ourselves
get weighed down by heavy energy. Our
mantra needs to be light, light, light! Because
as within, so without. In this vein, I am
passing on a gift, which I received in my inbox from Dr. Patricia Carrington,
an EFT authority par excellence! I think
you will find more ease and flow in your life as you get into practicing this
little routine and making it yours.
Enjoy!
According to Dr. Teresa Lynch, each day has
its unique characteristics, lessons and gifts.
Greeting the day and night allows us to connect with their unique
energy, on a universal plane, creating a ripple of harmony for ourselves and
others. The exercises below will take
you only a couple minutes to do each day and night, but will bring profound balance,
healing and energy into your life.
If at all possible, do the
activities outside. If this in impossible
however, open the window wide to let the morning and night energies in to do
their work.
Greeting the day
Step outside, or up to an open
window. Close your eyes and very gently
take a couple deep breaths. Then greet
the day in your way. For instance, you
may want to say something like, “Day, I
greet you and your unique energies. I
receive your life force into all my systems, and am excited about discovering
all your possibilities.”
Now take a few moments, with your
eyes closed, to feel if there is some place in your body where you energy or
emotions feel stuck. Bring your
attention to this place and repeat, “Soften and flow” several times, until you
feel the energy beginning to move. Then bring your attention back to your
breath and repeat, “Day, I greet you.
Thank you for your unique lessons today.”
Now, before stepping back into
your day, do this little EFT procedure.
(For those new to EFT, gently tap with the finger tips of one hand, the
spot mentioned, while repeating the phrase, and then move on to the next spot
and its phrase... Begin by hitting your two karate chop points (directly below
the little fingers) together
repetitively...
Tap-Along for
Greeting the Day (by Pat Carrington)
For this tapping experience begin with the Karate Chop Spot.
Karate Chop Spot: Even if I am not
in the best of moods
…or am tense, or anxious,.. or otherwise not feeling on top of life...
Inner Eyebrow: I choose to greet you, Day, as an entirely new Being.
Outer eye: I choose to open to
your newness.
Under eye: I choose to know that whatever came before, was before.
Under nose: …Not now.
Under mouth: Day, you come upon
the scene with an entirely fresh energy…
Collarbone: You are new and faultless…

me all these new possibilities.
Greeting the night
You can do this at night fall or
before you go to bed.
Step outside or up to your open
window. Close your eyes and breathe in
the night air and then, from your heart say, “Night, I greet you. Thank you
for the day's journey, its lessons and gifts and thank you for your assistance
in clearing away energies into your vast abundance.” Come back to a moment of stillness before
getting on with your night activities.
