To all my Canadian readers: Happy Thanksgiving! And to everyone: Thank YOU for taking time to read my monthly newsletters and for emailing me with your comments and ideas.
During my EFT Level 1 class last month, we discussed Gratitude Tapping in front of the mirror. As now is the time to give thanks and celebrate our family, friends, and what we have in our lives, I thought there would be no better time to do some Gratitude Tapping!
Sit in front of the mirror and ground yourself. Notice your breath; notice what the chair feels like under you; notice where your hands are placed. Take a deep breath in through the top of your head and imagine a beautiful white light moving down through your body, down into the ground. As you breathe out, imagine roots growing out from the soles of your feet into the earth below.
Think of all the things that are happening in your life for which you are grateful; all the people in your life; all the opportunities, and the lifestyle you have.
Open your eyes and look into the mirror. Connect with yourself and see the person staring back at you. Notice how that feels – you may want to make a few notes about that.
Now start tapping each point, starting at the top of your head, and as you tap each point, state something for which you are grateful. This could be how you look, how you feel, how your life is going, who’s in your life, things you possess, places you’ve been, etc.
Repeat this process for several rounds of tapping. If you get stuck, give thanks for your body: how it supports you and digests your food, etc.
I guarantee your vibration will have shifted by the end of this exercise and you’ll feel energised! You may even surprise yourself by the amount of things you have to be grateful for!
Yours in Gratitude … Annabel

Gratitude is a powerful antidote to that which we perceive to be wrong in our lives. I experienced it first hand.
When I was very seriously ill, there were days when I was focused on all the symptoms I had, what I couldn’t do and how dreadful my life was. Yet as soon as I remembered a supportive comment from a friend, thought about how a specific symptom had reduced, or took time to enjoy the view of the garden from my bed, I realized there was much to feel grateful for in my life. In essence, what I was doing was changing my vibration: the more I noticed the blessingss in my life, the more abundant my life became. No matter how insignificant something seemed (like watching a bird take a bath in the garden) I decided to enjoy and appreciate it. I believe the Universe heard my changing vibration and acted upon it.
We can use EFT to change our vibration, too. With EFT, it’s possible to identify the vibration blocking our progress, neutralize and clear the way for appreciation and gratitude. What could be more uplifting than focusing on what’s right with our lives!

With your dominant hand, tap the karate chop point on the other hand while saying the following:
Even though I’m focusing on what’s going wrong with my life right now, I accept who I am and how I’m feeling
Even though I’m frustrated and disappointed because things are always going wrong, perhaps I could notice some of the good things in my life and raise my vibration
Even though it’s really difficult to be grateful at the moment, I choose to accept myself and appreciate many aspects of my life
Now tap the following places while saying each of the phrases below.
Top of the head: I keep focusing on what’s going wrong
Eyebrow: I feel frustrated and disappointed
Side of the eye: I don’t want to be positive about this
Under the eye: but I don’t want to focus on the negative all the time, either
Under the nose: I don’t have the right vibration
Chin: and that makes me more anxious
Under the arm: and it’s really hard to change
Top of the head: I want to change my vibration
Eyebrow: perhaps I could!
Side of the eye: maybe I am ready to notice some good things in my life
Under the eye: I choose to appreciate what is right with my life
Under the nose: I am open to acknowledging all the abundance in my life
Chin: I am loving this shift in my vibration!
Collarbone: I am grateful for the blessings in my life
Under the arm: I appreciate so much more about my life now
Now close your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath. You might need to repeat this process or feel free to change the wording so it applies to how you really feel.
