Tapping for Sleep | Christy Li

Tapping, an EMT (Emotional Freedom Technique), is a powerful tool to use for many different reasons but particularly for when you are feeling stuck and want to move forward. Tapping meets you where you are without judgment, acknowledging how you are truly doing in the moment. Next, by hitting particular acupressure points, you can get the release you need and reset the mind and body to move forward. This tapping session is an example of how I use tapping to help my sons fall asleep and how we use it if they wake up during the night.

30 Minute Vinyasa Flow | Christy Li

This practice focuses on trusting, listening, and taking time to vision. Off the mat, when and how do we practice these traits? What about on the mat? Is today the day you will go from Crow Pose and trust yourself to safely jump back into a plank either for the first time or for the 900th time, or is today the day that you listen and realize you are not in the right state to try? So often we push ourselves, play the negative talk record, and/or just go through the motions. Maybe today is the day you take it easy, be gentle, and know that it is there for you next time. You and I are worthy of loving ourselves and one another, let’s do that on and off the mat as much as possible (even on the hard days).
