EFT Script: It is Not Safe For Me to Feel Good Enough.

(This EFT script was first published in October 2006 Metta Center Newsletter. If you are not familiar with EFT, you can find a brief introduction to this powerful self-healing technique in my "EFT Tapping Points" webpage. For information regarding EFT trainings, you can visit http://www.eftuniverse.com, www.aamet.org, or www.energypsych.org)

Many of our physical and emotional issues stem from not feeling good enough about ourselves (lack of self-esteem). The interesting thing that I often notice is that, for whatever reasons, the thought of letting go of the feeling of inadequacy is terrifying for many people.

Using EFT, let's clear out any anxiety we might have about feeling good enough.

Tap on the Karate Chop point or rub on the Sore Spot as you say the following setup statements:
"Even though I don't believe it ist safe for me to feel good enough, I might become a different person and I might not know who I am anymore, I choose to accept myself and my feelings."

"Even though I don't feel safe yet to be good enough, they might not like the new me and I might not like the new me, I choose to relax and trust that my transformation is for my highest good."

"Even though I don't feel safe to feel good enough, I never have, and I don't think I am supposed to feel good enough, I have decided that I deserve to feel better about myself."


Tap on the indicated EFT points and say the reminder phrases, as suggested below, either aloud or in your mind. You can change the reminder phrases to whatever words that fit you better.

Beginning of the Eyebrow: "It is not safe for me to feel good enough."
Side of Eye: "I can't feel good enough yet."
Under Eye: "Yes, I can."
Under Nose: "No, I can't!"
Chin: "What if I changed and I don't like the new me?"
Collarbone: "What if I changed and they don't like me anymore? I feel anxious about that!"
Under Arm: "I am afraid to feel good enough. I am not supposed to!"
Top of the Head: "I don't think I am ready to feel good enough. I am convinced it is not safe yet for me to feel good about myself."


Beginning of the Eyebrow: "What if I am wrong about this conviction?"
Side of Eye: "What if it is safe for me to feel good enough?"
Under Eye: "I have decided that I deserve to feel good enough because I am enough no matter what."
Under Nose: "I have decided to feel relaxed about feel better about myself."
Chin: "I choose to trust that it is safe for me to change my opinion about myself."
Collarbone: "I choose to change my energy by changing my thoughts about myself."
Under Arm: "I have decided that I am enough now. I choose to feel good enough now."
Top of the Head: "I love feeling good enough now."

Take a deep breath, and exhale slowly.

Just notice what shifts or changes occur within you: a change of breath? A release of energy? A relaxation somewhere in your body? Any memories or insights? Just notice what unfold for you.

A Rumi Poem: A Garden Beyond Paradise

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change,     yet the essence remains the same. Every wondrous sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade.     But do not be disheartened, The Source they come from is eternal— growing, branching out,     giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep?— That Source is within you, and this whole world     is springing up from it. The Source is full, its waters are ever-flowing;     Do not grieve,     drink your fill! Don't think it will ever run dry— This is the endless Ocean! From the moment you came into this world, a ladder was placed in front of you     that you might transcend it. From earth, you became plant, from plant you became animal. Afterwards you became a human being, endowed with knowledge, intellect and faith. Behold the body, born of dust—     how perfect ...

Giving Thanks to Your Body

(This article was first published in November 2007 Metta Center email newsletter.) In Taoism and Chinese Energy medicine, there is an exercise called "Inner Smile", where you smile at your inner organs. This exercise has a very practical purpose: self-acceptance and appreciation. This simple and gentle practice is very effective in balancing your meridian system and is very nourishing to your spirit. Here is a slightly different version of this exercise: Sit or lie comfortably. Alternatively, you can even do this exercise when you are walking or in the shower. Begin by taking several deep breaths, exhaling slowly. Allow yourself to recall the time someone extend a kindness to you and you can feel a sense of appreciation gently arising from within your heart-center. Noticing this feeling of appreciation, you bring your attention and extend this feeling to various parts of your body. Starting from the top of your head, bring your attention and appreciation to...
