The eight Relaxation Response Meditation steps:

Step One: Pick a brief phrase or word that reflects your basic belief system.

Step Two: Choose a comfortable position.

Step Three: Close your eyes. Gently close your eyes and relax the area around your eyes.

Step Four: Relax your muscles using progressive muscle relaxation.

Step Five: Become aware of your breathing, and start using your faith-rooted focus word.

Step Six: Maintain a passive attitude. Be an observer to whatever emerges in awareness without judgement.

Step Seven: Continue for a set period of time. Any amount of time can be beneficial, but if possible choose to meditate for at least 10 to a maximum of 20 minutes.

Step Eight: Practice the technique twice daily.

3 Ways to Combine EFT with Relaxation Response Meditation:

1. Tap a round of EFT for letting go of stress / tension prior to your meditation session.
2. address your subconscious mind prior to the meditation session and voice an invitation such as: “As I meditate I invite my subconscious mind to bring into awareness any belief, memory, or desire that can benefit from one or more sessions of EFT.”
3. Tap in a Positive Energy Form after your meditation session.
