Meditate Awake

DAILY INSIGHT Your body, mind, and emotions are all connected. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) actually uses a method of tapping at the end points of energy channels in the body to support emotional wellbeing. It is known to reduce stress and create a deeper connection between body and mind — and it can even relieve depression and anxiety. DAILY ACTION Bring to mind a problem or situation you’re struggling with, and then create a statement that empowers you to handle that problem. For example, you might say “Even though I am worried about this, I fully accept who I am.” Then, with four fingers of one hand, lightly tap the other hand (on the side of the little finger) 5-7 times. Next, do the same on your eyebrows; the outsides of your eyes; under your eyes; under your nose; and finally, on your chin. As you tap, repeat your statement to yourself. How does it feel?
