Hello! And welcome to Move Into Coherence. I’m your host, Pamela Stokes. In today’s episode we’ll be doing Part Three of Making Peace with the Past. In this episode, we’ll be resolving our Regrets. We’ll be using an EFT tapping script, so use the acupoints that you may be familiar with, or simply spread your hand open and place your thumb underneath one collarbone and your fingers underneath the other, as you place your hand on your chest over your heart.

Think about a particular regret that keeps you from deserving something or that you can trust yourself. Be aware of your unwillingness to be forgiven for that, and notice how this feels in your body, and give it a rating 0 to 10. And we’ll begin by taking three calming breaths through the nose and deep into the lungs—inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, and exhale—and repeat after me:

Even though I really regret this, I choose to love and accept myself anyway.

Even though I really regret this, I choose to love and honor myself anyway.

Even though I really regret this, I still can’t believe I did this, how could I have been so dumb, how could I have been so thoughtless, how can I ever expect to be really happy. And even though I really regret this, I choose to deeply and completely love, honor, and accept myself, and maybe anyone else who might also be involved.

all this regret

all this resentment towards myself

all this fear of letting this go

if I believe

that forgiving others means I’m letting them off the hook

what does it mean for me

if I forgive myself for what I’ve done wrong

can I trust myself to not do more damage

it’s much better to punish myself

not because I’m bad or stupid

but because I think it protects me from others

maybe it will stop me from doing harm

I can also see

it’s stopping me from doing all the good that I can do

I’m open to the possibility

that I did those things because I had pain inside

I had anger inside

I had fear inside

as I allow myself to clear those

as I allow myself to make peace with the past

it’s much more likely I’ll do good

I remove the possibility of doing bad

all this fear that I can’t trust myself

because of the bad decisions I’ve made

all this resentment towards myself

I choose to move through this

I was doing the best I could at the time

if I could have done better I would have

something inside of me made me make that choice

and I’m allowing myself to heal whatever was there

whatever choice I made was the choice I thought I had to make

it’s not that I make bad choices

it’s just that I’m not always clear on the right destination

maybe I made a choice that put me into debt

maybe because part of me believed

that I needed to be in debt to be safer

the mind is not always logical

I’ve put myself into situations

that part of me thought I needed to be in

and I’m getting better and better

I’m allowing myself to think about those things

that I would really like to have in my life

and I choose to be open to the possibility

that deep inside I

‘m worthy and deserving of the best that this world has to offer

and nothing from my past proves otherwise

I’ve been off course at times

but I’m still a magnificent being of the universe

and the best is yet to come

and I’m allowing it to show up

I’m clearing the fears and doubts

that have caused wrong behavior in the past

so I tend to do right

and hanging on to all this regret

just keeps the pain inside

and that was the problem in the first place

keeping more pain isn’t going to help

I’m releasing what doesn’t feel like peace

I’m releasing what doesn’t feel like love

I’m open to the possibility of forgiving myself

it doesn’t mean what I did in the past was OK

it recognizes that I may have made a mistake

and I’m setting myself free to do better

I will right whatever wrongs I can

I will make whatever amends I need to make

and I choose to be a force for good

for myself and others

I’m allowing myself to heal the past

setting myself joyfully free

in body, mind, and spirit

And now let’s take a nice breath in through the nose deep into the lungs, and on the exhale with mouth closed, Sigh of Relief. And now notice how you feel. And check in a see if you have noticed any shifts, and continue as needed. Thanks for joining in!
