psychology and emotional freedom techniques are no substitute for medical care so if you're having any medical or emotional issues please consult with your physician or health care provider low everyone welcome to the tapping revolution my name is joan kaylor and i'm very excited about the show today the title of the show is the art of emotional freedom techniques i want to teach you the nuance of emotional freedom techniques so to start off gary craig who is the founder and creator of emotional techniques his quote is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disturbance in the body's energy system so that is what we are talking about today the body's energy system and how to go about removing the disturbance so we are going to talk about tapping and emotional freedom techniques i might use the words emotional freedom techniques tapping e f t interchangeably so just to let you know they're all one in the same thing so i'd like to discuss first what global tapping vs specific tapping is global tapping is what you all might be used to global tapping is primarily what's on all a video as you see on you tube anything that you may see on television it's just a general tapping of all the energy points to help people calm down take the edge off if they're stressed it really isn't specific to any event or specific what we call aspects so ninety nine percent of the world knows about global tapping or even fifty but they don't know about specific tapping specific tapping is part of the gold standard of emotional freedom techniques ok which is what i'm certified in so specific tapping has to do with taking a specific event and taking a small piece or aspect of that event say you have the entire puzzle and you're going to take a piece of that's puzzle it's the moment that something clicks with you in a negative way so it could be an entire event but then what ever happened whatever you noticed whatever someone said to make you feel uncomfortable that is specific tapping it only it happens in a nanosecond in a moment of time and that is what i'm going to teach you about how to tap on that so we're going to go to the next slide which is a triad the triad consists of testing being specific and aspects being specific is what i was just explaining that you need to locate the exact as best as you can the exact moment when you felt uncomfortable when you felt stressed when someone or something made you feel fear anxious angry grieving  alone whatever the negative emotion is that is being specific ok and then the aspects of that are all the aspects are part of the stepping stones of the event so the event is the whole pie then you have slices or aspects of the pie and then you take out one of those aspects and you get specific ok and then the really important part which i'll be talking about is testing testing to make sure that you're not just feeling better but that you are better ok testing is part of the gold standard of emotional freedom techniques and it is so important to make sure that you're not just as i say feeling better but that the problem or the emotional disturbance is gone ok remember from my first show of the season i taught about different ways to prepare yourself now all those breathing techniques were not part of the gold standard of emotional freedom techniques but is that a way it's a way to prepare your body or your bodies battery to get ready for tapping ok so when your battery or your electrical system is balanced when your body is so to speak online then your body is more able to respond to the tapping so you might want to review the last program that i taught about breathing and do that before you proceed with tapping ok right now you take an event and you want to rate how upset you feel when you think of the event so you're going to several ways to do this you can think well i can't think of a specific number so i'm going to go a little upset medium upset or i'm really upset with children i do this i do know a little and the more i open my hands the more upset they are so that's one way to help children also for children you can think of a thermometer and that's why i have a thermometer on the side slide rather so obviously the bottom is green when you feel calm and when you're not upset by the event and then the closer that you get to read you are very upset so the higher your temperature goes the more upset you are ok and then of course the old sides or what we call in mental health subjective units of distress from zero to ten zero is you're not upset at all and ten is you are the most upset now in another show i might discuss belief patterns so a belief pattern is something that you believe is absolutely certain and then we kind of go opposite with that meaning i'm absolutely certain that armageddon this coming on the ten and then when you are in a certain your is the row but that's for another show for right now we're going to deal with how to rate the problem so these are several ways that i teach children and adults how to rate the problem before we start and then when i like to do is i say ok i'm going to write this down you feel a nine right now you're very upset because what often happens with tapping is people can't believe that they felt the way they felt before they started tapping and then after they finish tapping it's as if where did my upset go ok right now the setup phrase about being specific ok so you see my graphic there about the tapping revolution dot com and by the way i'd like to thank everyone who's watching the show i've heard from many of you and i think you so much and i'm so thrilled to get some feedback so the tapping revolution dot com and we'll be shameless  commercial is my business consultation part of my business and then jen kaylor dot com is the counseling side of my business but anyway you see in the graphic the karate chop point that you tap on below your little finger on the fleshy part of your hand so where you're going to go i'm going to talk about panic attacks today so the phrase i thought i was even though i had a panic attack when i was blank i deeply and completely love and accept myself now you fill in the phrase when i was blank so you think of where you were what you were doing did something happen did someone say something you bring up the event in your mind and you repeat this phrase because as soon as you're keyed or tuned into or thinking of the event that brings up the emotional disturbance so then you tap on your karate chop point in se even though i had this panic attack when i was getting ready to take this test i deeply and completely love and accept myself or even though i had a panic attack when i was shopping in the grocery store i deeply and completely love and accept myself or even though i had a panic attack when my husband my partner my spouse my child said so and so i deeply and completely love and accept myself so whatever that moment in time was when you felt that serves of adrenaline and went into the state of panic that's where your mind's going to go it's pulling up that file on your computer telling you this is what i want to work on so that is the beginning that is the setup phrase and then again you're rated before you start tapping because you have to know where you are in order to know when it's gone isn't that an interesting concept i think so so here we go again with the graphic of where to tap i like to review this every time we do a show because there may be some people out there that have never seen this so i want to show you now and points all the places we're going to tap these at the end points of the meridians that flow through our body meridians are the electrical pathways of our bodies because we are batteries so these little dots represent the endpoints of your electrical pathways so there are a whole lot of points on the top of your head but you start on the top of your head ok and i'll take my glasses off so you can see better than right at the beginning of your brow you tap there maybe for ten times then right at the end of your eyebrow at the crease of your eye you tap there and find the bone underneath your eye and you tap there ok put my glasses back on and then you tap on your nose then you tap the middle of your chin ok i'm not going to tap today because what i've learned is every time i tap my collar bone it drives audio crazy and you all don't hear me you hear tapping so i'm just going to touch so here the edges of my collarbone right here and then if i drop down underneath those edges to the soft spot this is the collarbone tapping point not that you need to remember this but it's the twenty seventh point on the kidney meridians ok then you go under your arm ok so this is about four inches down from your armpit on the side of your body and you can either go like this or you can raise a hand and go like this whichever is most comfortable for you now i did not include the hand this time so on my graphic but rather outside of the  the side of the index finger the very tip by the nail don't go down on the index very well you get the very tip closest to the thumb the index finger and the very tip of the middle finger third finger then we say skip the ring finger and go to the little finger now i also like to tap again the karate chop point and then on the back of the hand between the two knuckles of the little finger and the ring finger you want to tap there that is in place of tapping the end point of the ring finger you want to tap right there ok so these are all the tapping places so that's where you want to go every day after you do your set up phrase then you tap and then what you're going to tap on is the moment you felt the panic i felt this panic when and you fill in the blank this panic this panic when i did this when i was here when so and so said this when this happened i felt this panic i felt this panic i felt this panic i felt this panic i felt this panic i felt this panic i felt this panic so you do a couple rounds of that ok because what you're doing is you're  you have the set up phrase and then you have the reminder phrase telling your brain and body what it is that you're working on so you do that for two rounds now there's also something called the nine gamut which i'm going to teach you the way whether or not you choose to you it's a we use it it's a brain balancing technique so then after you do a couple rounds of the tapping then you tap on the back of your hand between the two  es little finger and ring finger and you do nine things you close your eyes you open your eyes you look down to the right then you look over to the left then you take your eyes in a circle and if it helps think of the circle as an analog clock and you're slowly going around twelve hours of an analog clock and then you go the opposite direction and you roll your eyes the other direction again or how many song you wish but i doing this you're accessing the right and left brain so you're going right brain left brain right brain it's especially helpful if the tapping doesn't seem to be lowering the problem fast enough if you only drop down a little bit or one or two points then you do the nine gamut there are nine things again open eyes closed eyes open eyes look down to the left down to the right circle one direction circled the other direction count so then after you do that then you repeat the tapping again ok now the third round of tapping what you want to do is you want to say something positive you can't start out by saying something positive in till you acknowledge the negative that's the one question that everybody who's learning tapping wants to find out what gen why do we start out bringing up the negative should not go directly to the positive no because you have to acknowledge the positive and you have to bring down the the electrical charge the uncomfortable feeling has to be low enough or else your accept the positive so you don't start out with a positive because in traditional counseling counselors are always saying oh don't think this way think this way and some it works most of the time it doesn't and that's why you have to eliminated electrical disturbance the electrical charge the emotional impact of the negative situation before you can start tapping in the positive so once you start feeling more confortable and you rate this is what's important you re re how you feel so where is the feeling that you had when you first rated it if it was the nine where is it now is it a six is it a five is it an eight is it a three when you drop down say four or below then you can start using the positive so you might have to do a couple rounds tapping away the negative before you can start on the positive and then you go home i no longer feel panicky calm i no longer feel this and and you do that for a couple rounds what this does is it turns off the switch to your adrenaline and it goes right to the middle of your brain to the image and says i can recall now th situation no longer stresses me out and you do a couple rounds of that someday my fantasy is that everybody will know tapping and will go for tapping before they go for medication f my lips to god's ears because ninety nine percent of the time you don't need medication ok right so again another thing that's really helpful is when you think of the event that you want to tap on you take the event rather let me say when you think of the aspect of the event that you want to tap on tell the story about it ok tell the story about what happened during the event while you're tapping all your points and as you tell this story then all the emotional disturbance around that particular  event now we're only talking about a two or three minute piece of the event we're not talking about years of trauma you can't undo years of trauma years of anxiety years of depression in one tapping you have to take an event and you have to take the specific aspects of the event you take the event and then you start tapping on an aspect of the event and as you're telling the story then you are neutralizing the electrical charge on that event this is called tell the story and it's part of the gold standard of  ok so that's another thing that you can do you can do a reminder phrase or you can do the tell the story ok then you reassess how you feel now how do you feel so then you really rate your panic anxiety distress whatever is happening the reason that you started tapping in the first place ok testing this is such an important concept it's not just about ok is my number low thermometer low or do i feel small medium or large upset right now talk about the event and see how you feel close your eyes and put yourself back in the event exaggerate the event exaggerate the sounds the sights the colors get your five senses into the event what do you smelling what do you hearing do you feel anything not just emotionally but your sense of touch exaggerate everything about the event and see if there's anything any aspect anything left over about the event that you need to tap on because until you can completely tell the story without getting upset until you can exaggerate the event in your mind and not get upset you're not done just because your subjective units of distress go down just because you feel a little bit better that's not enough we in a motional freedom techniques land in the gold standard land are never satisfied until somebody can tell the story without being upset then we know that that disturbance is gone that's vitesse thing is so important practitioners of e f t that study the gold standard we are like detectives and we want to make sure that every particle of what you're upset about is over so i want to talk a little bit about everything that i've been doing so just to let you know that for those in pittsburgh and
