15 min "Eco meditation" to reduce stress and increase well being

This is a great meditation to do if you don't want to go into your emotions but would like to feel some peace.  Do this before bed or during the day to recenter and reclaim peace and presence.  Eco meditation in a beautiful combination of best practice tools like EFT, neurofeedback, Heart Math and mindfulness and it has been shown in clinical trials to decrease cortisol by 29%, decrease anxiety by 23%, decrease heart rate by 5% and decrease pain 43%.  Immunity markers went up 27%, happiness increases by 9%, Gamma EEG increased 40% and brain balance increased by 30%(sourced from EFT Universe-Eco mediation page)

I’m going to take you through the 7 steps of eco meditation with a little extra Kelly Howe flare sprinkled on top but if you’d like to download the the steps to the eco mediation go to  https://eftuniverse.com/ecomeditation/.  Or check out a short version below:

1. Set your intention to release anything and everything that is blocking you from feeling peace.
   1. “I release anything and everything blocking me from peace” and “I release anything and everything past present and future that is blocking me from experiencing peace.
2. Tap through the tapping points and repeat the above phrase.  Do at least  3 rounds but extend it if it feels right for you and it is relaxing.
3. Stop tapping and remind yourself to relax your tongue on the floor of your mouth. Relax your jaw and throat.
4. Bring your awareness to your hands and feet and notice the space inside your hands and feet.  Take time to work your way through the body slowly and notice the space in each body part.  Focus on the space between the eyebrows and notice the space behind your eyes and in your head.
5. Begin breathing in for 6 counts and exhaling for 6 counts.  Allow your ribs and diaphragm to expand in 360 degrees and imagine a balloon expanding in your abdomen in 360 degrees while breathing.
6. Visualize the heart space and begin visualizing the inhale and exhale going through your heart space. 
7. Imagine a beam of light that is unconditional love coming from your heart and send that to a person or place.  Next bring the beam of love and light back into your body and send it throughout your body and to yourself.
8. Reorient to the room by looking at the details around you.  Zoom in and see details in the room and also Zoom out and see the room  the whole time.  Feel the weight of your body gently pressing into the chair beneath you.
