This article is intended for those who are familiar with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). If you are unfamiliar and wish to learn more, you can find more information on EFT through the articles available here>> .
This series of EFT articles is based on healing aspects of ourselves that can, in turn, help us heal the world at this time. What I have been noticing is that our healing systems are geared toward keeping us feeling in a state of competition, focusing on outcomes, never having enough, never being enough, never doing enough, etc. It seems as if there is a void we are trying to fill from outside of ourselves, and the collective consciousness is conditioning us to feel like we are not enough. So, I wanted to focus on an article on using EFT to treat the first aspect I have noticed: our feeling of “not-enoughness.”
Using a deck with words on it (see the EFT deck at http://love-light-healing.com/decks/) in place of muscle testing, I will let Spirit guide me as to which blocks to tap through.
TO BEGIN…
Start with a round of tapping to clear and connect to Source. Simply tap through the main EFT points using the affirmation, “I am clear and connected to Source,” or whatever variations you feel drawn to use. See the image to the left for the location of the points and tap firmly with two fingers or whatever feels comfortable. Your intention is more important than accuracy.
CLEARING A FEW BLOCKS…
Drawing a card for the first block that we, as society, need to work on, I draw the card “Choosing.” So, for a majority of us, we may not choose to feel enough. To clear this block, try tapping the statements and points below:
Karate Chop Point: Even though I don’t choose to feel enough, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though I do not choose to feel whole, complete and valuable, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though I do not choose to feel acceptable as I am, I accept this about myself.
Top of Head: I can choose to feel enough, to be enough, and to know that who I am is okay in this moment.
Eyebrow Point: I know I haven’t been choosing. I’ve been going along with the world. I’ve been going along with who and what it tells me to be, as well as what it tells me to buy and want.
Side of Eye: Even though I haven’t been choosing to feel enough, I am going to deeply and profoundly love and accept myself anyways.
Under Eye: I have been feeling incomplete. I have been feeling there is a void within. A part of me never feels perfect enough.
Under Nose: Something always keeps me feeling driven. It keeps me choosing not to feel enough.
Chin Point: But I can choose right now to feel enough, to have enough and to be enough.
Collar Bone: There is nothing I need to complete myself.
Under Arm: I can be happy living simplistically; finding the beauty and the miracle within life.
Top of Head: I now choose to find the beauty and the miracle in all that is simple. And, I choose to find the beauty and the miracle within myself, because that beauty and that miracle is enough.
Asking if there is another block that we would collectively benefit from working on, I draw the card “Readiness.” So, we might not feel ready to be enough. You can try tapping on the following:
Karate Chop Point: Even though I am not ready to feel that I am enough because I am afraid of change, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though it would be happening too fast if I suddenly felt enough—and I’m not ready for that, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: This is all a new way to think for me and I’m not sure I am ready to feel enough, but I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Top of Head: Thank you Source that I am choosing to be ready to feel enough. I can feel a sense of readiness grow within me now.
Eyebrow Point: I recognize that I feel some resistance. I’ve been taught by society and my elders that I have to keep chasing and I have to keep pursuing enough-ness outside of myself.
Side of Eye: But I choose in this present moment to feel enough, to feel good enough, and to feel that I have enough.
Under Eye: I choose to let go of wanting and striving; just for this moment, but not permanently. I can still have dreams, but I can also be content that I don’t need them to complete me.
Under Nose: I haven’t been ready to be enough.
Chin Point: Maybe I am still not ready.
Collar Bone: I still feel that I need to follow the ways of the world. I still feel that I need to strive. So, I must still not feel enough.
Under Arm: But maybe I can be ready to be enough.
Top of Head: It is hard sometimes because I still feel I need to seek outside myself for my worth.
Eyebrow Point: I ask my angels, I ask Source and I ask my guides to help me feel enough right now.
Side of Eye: I ask my angels, guides and Source to help me align myself with the planetary energies right now and Her enoughness; so that I can become what the planet needs to heal right now. Because through our not enoughness, we are overwhelming our environment and Nature.
Under Eye: I recognize that through feeling not-enough and through not being ready to be enough, I am overwhelming my body.
Under Nose: So, I am choosing to be ready to be enough right now.
Chin Point: I can see the value in being ready to feel enough right now, and I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Collar Bone: That love and that deep and profound acceptance of myself comes from knowing that I am enough.
Under Arm: And I am ready to be free of all memories, imprints, frequencies, blueprints and trapped emotions that prevent me from feeling ready to feel and be enough.
Drawing a third card for what we, as a collective, would benefit from clearing (as a block to feeling enough), I draw the card “I want.” So, part of the collective mind-set does not truly want to feel enough as we are. So, we have to have the courage to break that down. We can begin by tapping the question, “Do I truly want to be and feel enough?” or tapping the sequence below:
Karate Chop Point: Even though I do not really want to understand that I am enough, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though I’m not sure I want to be and feel enough, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: I’m still not sure I truly want to be and feel enough, or to deeply and profoundly love and accept myself as I am in this moment.
Top of Head: I want to change this pattern of not being enough. I want to experience a different state of mind and being.
Eyebrow Point: A state of mind and being where I am enough.
Side of Eye: I ask in this moment that all blocks be cleared that inhibit me from wanting to know that state of mind and being where I am enough.
Under Eye: I truly want to know a state of being where I feel within me that I have enough, I don’t have to worry about outcomes, I can live in the present moment, and I can find the beauty and the miracle in the simple things in life.
Under Nose: I want to know that beauty and that miracle in what is simple in life and what is in myself. I no longer want to strive so hard to be enough.
Chin Point: I want to know that I am enough. I want to know that I have enough. I want to know that I am doing enough.
Collar Bone: I am tired of not feeling enough.
Under Arm: I want to be and to feel enough; and I am asking Source to clear all frequencies, blueprints, imprints, memories and trapped emotions that prevent me from wanting to feel enough right now.
Drawing one more card, it reads “Safe for Others.” This card means we feel that we will let others down or we will hurt others in some way if we resolve our issue of never feeling enough.
Karate Chop Point: Even though it is not safe for others if I feel and am enough—some harm will befall the people around me financially, materially, emotionally and in other ways—I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though it’s not safe for others if I stop striving so hard and if I instead decide to feel enough, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Karate Chop Point: Even though it is still not safe for others if I feel enough within myself, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Top of Head: Even though it is not safe for others if I become happy with simplicity while enjoying the beauty and the miracle of life, myself and my enoughness, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself.
Eyebrow Point: Nothing bad is going to happen to anyone if I feel enough.
Side of Eye: Maybe that’s not true. What if something bad happens to someone else if I feel enough? What if I disappoint a parent, lover or some member of society if I am not trying hard enough to be enough? What if the economy collapses or something else happens if many of us come to believe we are enough and have enough?
Under Eye: Imagine a world where people actually thought they were enough? That might be horrible if we couldn’t accomplish anything. That’s a scary thought. The world might really suffer in some way if we heal this issue within ourselves. So maybe it is best if it is left unresolved.
Under Nose: But on another level, I don’t really believe that. I believe that a lot of the world’s problems will resolve, and that people will be more at peace, if more of us can feel that we are enough; if I can feel that I am enough.
Chin Point: And also if I can feel that others are enough.
Collar Bone: If I can feel that the world is enough.
Under Arm: If I can find the beauty in the moment; in what is simple; in the state of ‘I am.’ If I can trust that it is safe for others.
Feel free to tap any other blocks that you can think of on this subject. Or simply tap the main issue: that you are enough, always were and do not need to feel otherwise.
Many of these ideas of “not-enoughness” are taken from the book “I Am the Lotus, Not the Muddy Pond.” Chapter 8 is titled, “True Abundance: Finding our Innate Enoughness.” This book is available free on my website and also on Amazon (http://amzn.to/ZRyDcx ).
