DAY 2 TAPPING MEDITATION: TURNING TOWARD THE POSITIVE
This is a great meditation to use when you’re struggling to feel and see the positive. With repeated use, it can help your brain be more balanced, less prone to always resorting to the negativity bias.
To begin, take a deep breath, and check in with yourself.
Now that you’ve noticed your brain’s negativity bias at work, what emotions do you feel about whatever caused your brain to go negative? Also notice your physical experience. In this negative state of mind, do you feel tension, tightness, or pain anywhere? Do you feel any clenching, tingling, heat, or cold?
After noticing these different aspects of your present moment experience, notice how intensely negative you feel on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being extremely negative. Then take three deep breaths. We’ll begin by tapping on the Karate Chop point.
