“Self-Care & Self-Awareness Through EFT-Tapping”

With Special Guest Kelly Roughton

As women we often hear the term “self- care”…something we crave and desire deeply. Yet caring for ourselves is a whole lot harder when we don’t really know who we are and therefore what we need. Self-awareness is the gateway to self-nurturing, self-reflection, and ultimately peace.

Join me in welcoming very special guest Kelly Roughton to Safe Haven. She will walk us through an experience of EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, often called “Tapping”. Tapping is based on the principles behind Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, etc.). The technique is simple. We connect with our authentic thoughts and emotions about a difficult subject and then, using the tips of our fingers, we tap on a few acupressure points on the face and upper-body. This releases the stuck energy/negative thoughts/upsetting emotions from the body. It leaves us feeling more relaxed and resourced in regard to the problem. 

The more we listen to the authentic feelings of our mind, body and spirit, the more we can release the distressing ones using this technique. The more we release, the more we have self-awareness and compassion for ourselves as well as the ability to see situations more clearly and make the best choices. The more we have self-compassion, the more we can care for and self-nurture ourselves in a virtuous circle.

Imagine waking in the middle of the night and being able to get back to sleep easily or having a blow-up with a partner or child and being able to quickly release the emotions and make the next best move by simply following a series of quick steps that Kelly will teach us. EFT is a beautiful way to gain access to that channel to self-care. Come to our Tap-Aware Party and learn how!

This is a hybrid event. For simplicity, Sanctuary Sunday events are now a flat rate of $43 for in person and $34 for zoom tickets. Additional donations are always graciously accepted. Register below. A specific address for the event will be shared upon registration.

Kelly Roughton is, first and foremost, a playful seeker. In seeking her own well-being and finding so many fun, easy and helpful tools and techniques, she also discovered a deep desire to share what she found with other women. “Come play with me and my new toy!” Wanting to share in a safe way, she has trained as an EFT Practitioner, a Spiritual Hypnotist and a CCF certified Life Coach. In 2008, she began enthusiastically facilitating workshops on assorted personal growth topics and she enjoys every chance she gets to share the knowledge that has so deeply transformed her own life.

Laurie McMurdo is a creative at heart. Her teaching career allowed her to creatively find solutions to her students’ needs and desires. She continues this through her soul work for women at Safe Haven with her creative mindfulness art, workshops, consultations, collaborations, and programs. Creating sanctuary during life’s storms and reminding women of the magic of who they are is Laurie’s mission at Safe Haven, so each can find their own rainbows.
