✨ Miracles Now Ep. 2: EFT Tapping to Clear Blocks & Invite Miracles ✨ · ✨️Aligned and Thriving: For Teachers🌿

• 0:05
  Hey guys, and welcome back to another episode of Alliance and
• 0:08
  thriving for Teachers. You'll go to space for our real
• 0:12
  talk, growth, healing, and just those little reminders that you
• 0:16
  are not alone. It's Mel here.
• 0:18
  I'm a teacher, I'm a mom, I'm a bit of a self help junkie, a
• 0:22
  side hustle queen, and someone who's just trying to make a
• 0:24
  little difference in this world however I can.
• 0:28
  So if this is your first time listening, hi.
• 0:30
  And if you've been around for a bit, well, thank you for tuning
• 0:33
  in again and I am so glad that you are here.
• 0:37
  Now you can call me a bit of a book.
• 0:39
  I am a personal development nerd, a lifelong learner.
• 0:42
  I don't mind, I just love learning.
• 0:45
  I love growing. And when I learn something that
• 0:47
  hits deep and helps me become a better human, then I feel the
• 0:51
  strong pool to have to share it because maybe it'll help you be
• 0:54
  a better human too. Well, I don't know, but it's
• 0:57
  worth a try. So today we're diving into
• 1:01
  episode 2 of the Miracles Now book Reflection series.
• 1:04
  I want to say if you missed episode 1, feel free to jump
• 1:08
  back. It was all about how we could
• 1:10
  shift into alignment, trust in timing.
• 1:12
  There are a couple of different things about happiness and some
• 1:15
  actions that you could do in resetting your nervous system
• 1:19
  and just really simple little tricks, especially the one about
• 1:22
  having a rubber band on your wrist for your attack.
• 1:23
  Thoughts. So I hope that you've been
• 1:26
  practising that one, but for today, I'm going to add on to
• 1:29
  that and this one's going to be another juicy one.
• 1:32
  So the first part that jumped out at me in this book for this
• 1:36
  one is ask. OK, ask.
• 1:42
  Ask in bold. I want you to like literally
• 1:46
  imagine this gigantic, bold, all caps ask in your head because
• 1:52
  the key to getting what you want is asking for it.
• 1:58
  A duh, sorry. It's the power of asking.
• 2:03
  So I'll tell you a little story that I've probably already told
• 2:06
  you before, but I'm sorry. So my Alma, I'm Dutch.
• 2:10
  So I had a Dutch grandmother, my Alma, beautiful human being.
• 2:14
  I'm actually where I inherited one of her rings that's in all
• 2:17
  of her photos. It's beautiful.
• 2:19
  I wear it all the time so I can think about her.
• 2:21
  Also have a tattoo for her on my wrist.
• 2:23
  It's of a Tulip because she's Dutch and it says Alma in it.
• 2:26
  And she was more than happy and helped me design it and all
• 2:29
  those sorts of things. But anyway, so my Alma, she was
• 2:32
  a big, big believer in this philosophy of the power of
• 2:37
  asking because honestly, what's the worst that could happen?
• 2:40
  They say no, at least you tried. Hello.
• 2:43
  So again, it's been around forever.
• 2:47
  So let me break it down for you. In the words of Gabby Bernstein,
• 2:50
  she's broken it down this way. So Step 1, you are going to feel
• 2:54
  uncomfortable. Yep, it's going to stretch you.
• 2:58
  I know I've been in that position, asking for what you
• 3:00
  want. It means stepping out of your
• 3:02
  comfort zone, especially, especially if you are a people
• 3:06
  pleaser or someone who was raised to not make waves.
• 3:10
  And I feel that very deeply. I have that deep seated people
• 3:15
  please a type of attitude within me and it is really hard
• 3:18
  sometimes. So I have to have that 10
• 3:20
  seconds of courage step out of my comfort zone to be able to
• 3:23
  move past that point. So Step 1 is that you're going
• 3:26
  to feel uncomfortable. So just own it, OK?
• 3:28
  Step 2, get clear. What are you actually asking
• 3:32
  for? You need to be specific and more
• 3:35
  importantly, you need to back your request with love and not
• 3:39
  fear. Ask from a space of possibility
• 3:43
  and positive intention. OK, so you're going to feel
• 3:47
  uncomfortable. You're going to get clear, and
• 3:49
  the next thing you're going to do is you're going to ask.
• 3:52
  You're just going to ask. Ask the Dang question.
• 3:54
  Ask for that raise. Ask for the help.
• 3:56
  Ask for the opportunity. Ask for the sale.
• 3:59
  Ask for the moment of rest. Ask for the life you want
• 4:03
  because you playing small it doesn't serve anyone, especially
• 4:07
  not yourself. So my question is what would you
• 4:10
  ask for today if you truly believe that you are worthy of
• 4:15
  whatever it is you're wanting to ask for?
• 4:17
  OK, so just ask for it. There's your three steps.
• 4:21
  OK, I've probably told you a million times before, but
• 4:23
  there's three steps. Just go and ask for what you
• 4:26
  want. OK, next one.
• 4:29
  This is a good one. Another part of her book, she
• 4:31
  talks about comparison traps and a simple prayer to sort of get
• 4:35
  you through it. And we've all done it.
• 4:37
  Seriously, we're human beings. We all compare.
• 4:40
  She's fitter, she's skinnier. She's got a business all
• 4:43
  together. She's making six figures.
• 4:45
  Oh, I wish I could do that. She's got that picture perfect
• 4:48
  classroom. She's the fun mom.
• 4:50
  Does this all sound familiar to you?
• 4:52
  They're all thoughts I've had, and I wonder if you've had some
• 4:55
  of them too. Because here's the truth.
• 4:58
  Comparison is a thief. It steals your peace, it steals
• 5:05
  your joy, it steals your clarity.
• 5:08
  And often it's not even based in truth.
• 5:13
  We were not born judgy or critical.
• 5:17
  We've learnt it. We've learnt it from the media,
• 5:19
  we've learnt it from our families, we've learnt it from
• 5:22
  going to schools. But as Gabby says in Miracles,
• 5:25
  now, whenever you compare yourself to others, simply say
• 5:30
  this prayer. The light I see in them is a
• 5:33
  reflection of my inner light. So say this with me now.
• 5:37
  The light I see in them is a reflection of my inner light.
• 5:43
  So soak that in. You are not behind, you're not
• 5:46
  broken. You are on your path.
• 5:50
  And that is completely and utterly OK to look different to
• 5:54
  someone else's. We are all born different.
• 5:58
  And how many times do we say that to children that they're
• 6:02
  comparing themselves to others? Don't do that.
• 6:05
  You are all unique. You are all made to be your own
• 6:08
  person. Why don't you celebrate their
• 6:10
  success? It's been a really, really big
• 6:15
  learning curve for me because I was a constant person who was
• 6:19
  the one going, oh, look at her body, look what she looks like.
• 6:22
  Why can't I look like that, that some of those attack thoughts,
• 6:26
  getting rid of those attack thoughts and saying things like
• 6:29
  the light I see in them is a reflection of my inner light
• 6:32
  because I can be just like them. I just need to see myself like
• 6:35
  that. OK, so let that soak in.
• 6:40
  Now, this part, this might be new for some of you or maybe
• 6:44
  you've heard me talk about it before, but we need to talk
• 6:46
  about ancient pain, releasing ancient pain and stress.
• 6:51
  Now, these are the wounds that you've carried around for years,
• 6:55
  maybe even decades. The old heart breaks, the
• 6:58
  childhood trauma, the inner beliefs, like I'm not good
• 7:02
  enough or am I too much, I'm always too much, I'm too loud, I
• 7:06
  talk too much. They're heavy, but they are not
• 7:09
  permanent. And you can release them.
• 7:12
  But here's your truth bomb. You've got to feel your feelings
• 7:17
  first. You got to feel the feels.
• 7:20
  You can't heal what you're not willing to feel.
• 7:24
  So when we're in a high stress state all the time, it'll show
• 7:28
  up physically, like your cortisol levels will rise, your
• 7:30
  blood sugar gets out of whack. I mean, hello, dessert cravings.
• 7:33
  The brain fog sets in. Your immune system crashes, your
• 7:36
  thyroid takes a hit. Like it is all connected.
• 7:39
  Your body systems are all connected to what's going on in
• 7:42
  your mind. And the powerful tool that can
• 7:44
  help you manage all of this, there is something called EFT,
• 7:49
  emotional freedom technique or tapping.
• 7:52
  You literally tap on points in your body.
• 7:54
  They're Meridian points. And it sends a message to your
• 7:57
  amygdala to calm the heck down. So if you remember what your
• 8:01
  little amygdala is, it's part of that.
• 8:04
  When you flip the switch, you then in fight, fight, flight or
• 8:07
  freeze mode, you need to calm yourself down.
• 8:11
  And this is part of that. Your stress will reduce.
• 8:13
  Your nervous system can relax. It's like, I want to call it
• 8:18
  emotional acupuncture, but without the needles.
• 8:21
  I've done some courses on this, obviously because I like to do
• 8:24
  my research before I go. Really, is that even a thing?
• 8:28
  And then you do it and go, oh, why have I not been doing this
• 8:31
  all these years? So you can tap on anxiety,
• 8:37
  scarcity, confidence blocks, comparison.
• 8:40
  Like even with that whole overwhelming, there's too much
• 8:42
  on my plate type of energy. And the best part is it's free,
• 8:46
  it's easy and I can walk you through it.
• 8:50
  What I will do is I'll I'll talk you through it.
• 8:52
  And then what I'm going to try and do is coincide a video of
• 8:56
  showing you what to do. But you can also, I'm sorry, you
• 9:00
  can also look it up, but lots of people do it in different ways,
• 9:05
  but it's pretty much the same, much of A muchness.
• 9:09
  But EFT, you're going to have a script that you'll create around
• 9:14
  your most pressing issue. So today my example is just
• 9:18
  going to be around teacher stress and the comparison.
• 9:21
  So your most pressing issue, you need to write before you start
• 9:26
  on how you're feeling. So one is obviously low stress
• 9:28
  and 10 is completely and utterly overwhelmed.
• 9:31
  And then you're going to start at the karate chop point and tap
• 9:34
  gently as you repeat these sayings.
• 9:37
  Now your karate chop point is underneath.
• 9:41
  It's like the base of your palm. If you go to where your pinky
• 9:44
  finger is, you just go down and you're hitting with your other
• 9:47
  hand. So whatever hand you prefer.
• 9:49
  And you're tapping on the bottom of your hand.
• 9:52
  And you're saying this three times at each point.
• 9:55
  So there's gonna be a negative round and then a positive round,
• 9:58
  if that makes sense. So you're tapping gently on your
• 10:00
  karate chop point and you are saying, Even though I feel so
• 10:04
  overwhelmed, I deeply and completely love and accept
• 10:08
  myself. Even though I feel like I'm not
• 10:11
  doing enough, I'm open to the idea that I am enough.
• 10:16
  Even though I keep comparing myself, I choose to acknowledge
• 10:19
  how I feel without judgement. Then you're going to tap through
• 10:25
  the rest of the points. So the points are your eyebrows.
• 10:28
  So just above, you're tapping just above the top of your
• 10:31
  eyebrow. You can do this with one hand or
• 10:33
  you can do it with both. I'm just doing it with 1.
• 10:35
  So you're tapping the top of your eyebrow and you're saying
• 10:39
  this stress and then the side of your eye, this pressure under
• 10:44
  your eye. Everyone expects so much of me.
• 10:48
  Then you're going to go under your nose and I expect even more
• 10:52
  of myself and your chin. I compare myself to others and
• 10:57
  you're going to go to your collarbone and I don't feel good
• 11:00
  enough. And then you're going to go
• 11:02
  underneath your arm. So if you're a woman, where your
• 11:05
  brow bone is or your last rib, what if I let go of that story?
• 11:09
  Then you're going to go to the top of your head.
• 11:12
  What if I choose peace instead? OK, now we're up to a positive
• 11:17
  round. So we receipt repeat the same
• 11:19
  process. Excuse me.
• 11:21
  So I'm tapping on my excuse me again, tapping on my karate chop
• 11:25
  point and I'm going to be positive this time.
• 11:29
  So even though I feel so overwhelmed, I deeply and
• 11:32
  completely love and accept myself.
• 11:34
  Even though I feel like I'm not doing enough, I'm open to the
• 11:38
  idea that I am enough. Even though I keep comparing
• 11:41
  myself, I choose to acknowledge how I feel without judgement.
• 11:45
  Now I'm going to move to my eyebrow.
• 11:47
  I choose to release this pressure side of your eye.
• 11:50
  I'm doing the best that I can. Under eye I am worthy under your
• 11:55
  nose, I am safe to be me. Chin.
• 11:58
  I celebrate how far I've come Collarbone, I allow joy in and
• 12:04
  underneath your armpit. I breathe in peace and top of
• 12:08
  your head. I breathe out stress and you're
• 12:11
  tapping. Then when you've done that, you
• 12:14
  may need to do another round. You see how you feel, but then
• 12:17
  you're going to write your most pressing issues, the MPI again
• 12:21
  and see if that number has shifted.
• 12:24
  So that's just an example of one EFT script.
• 12:28
  There's lots of examples online and you can again use chat GTP
• 12:33
  to help you create one. But those points, as I said, I
• 12:37
  will do a video at the same time as releasing the podcast so you
• 12:40
  can see what I'm talking about and you tap through the points
• 12:43
  and it is honestly amazing. And if you don't feel any
• 12:47
  difference, do another round. You might need to do a couple of
• 12:50
  rounds. When I first started doing
• 12:51
  tapping, I needed to do 345 sort of rounds depending on the issue
• 12:56
  until that relief starts to settle in and you sort of go,
• 12:59
  oh, I'm starting to feel relaxed now because you are crossing and
• 13:03
  working on those Meridian points and it's releasing that stress
• 13:06
  and working on your amygdala. So you might not see what's
• 13:09
  going on in your body, but it is actually working and helping.
• 13:13
  Then you take some time after you've done your tapping to just
• 13:17
  reflect. You can jot down on some points
• 13:19
  like what did I notice? Did I notice a shift in my body?
• 13:23
  What story am I ready to let go of?
• 13:25
  Where in my life do I need to ask for more of what I want?
• 13:29
  Who am I comparing myself to and and why?
• 13:32
  And then always finish on what am I grateful for right now
• 13:36
  because gratitude is that highest vibration.
• 13:39
  So what are you grateful for right now?
• 13:42
  Something that's really, really important and valuable to you.
• 13:47
  You're reflecting on that and locking in to things that make
• 13:50
  you feel thankful. So that's just a couple of
• 13:54
  little things that from me reading that book.
• 13:58
  So again, Miracles Now by Gabby Bernstein, 108 different things
• 14:02
  that she talks about. I've just picked out a couple of
• 14:04
  really good Nuggets that I have used and applied to myself in my
• 14:09
  own life, my own teaching journey, and I have found really
• 14:12
  beneficial. And if you have any questions or
• 14:14
  anything like that, please feel free to DM me on Instagram or on
• 14:18
  Facebook and I can do my absolute best to help answer
• 14:21
  them. But as I said, that last one
• 14:23
  there, that EFT, I've now done a course in that so that I
• 14:27
  actually can say, yes, I know what I'm talking about.
• 14:30
  Yes, I know how to do it and I can assist you to learn more
• 14:33
  about that if you wish to. So just talk to me because you
• 14:37
  are allowed to be a work in progress.
• 14:38
  I'm a work in progress. You're allowed to have big,
• 14:42
  amazing dreams. You are allowed to feel all of
• 14:46
  your feelings. In fact, I encourage you to.
• 14:48
  You are allowed to ask for more, whether that is more peace, more
• 14:53
  joy, more abundance, more space, or just more room to breathe.
• 14:57
  You deserve it because you are worthy of it.
• 15:00
  And I will be cheering you on every single step of the way.
• 15:04
  So again, don't forget me. Don't forget to message me if
• 15:07
  you want to go deeper into this work or if you're curious about
• 15:09
  tapping, coaching, or just having a safe space to feel like
• 15:12
  you are seen. Thank you for spending some time
• 15:15
  with me today. And until next time, stay
• 15:18
  aligned, stay thriving, and keep shining your light because you
• 15:22
  are amazing and you are so loved.
• 15:23
  Remember that. And until then, I'll talk to you
• 15:26
  again next time. Bye, guys.
