psychology and emotional freedom techniques are no substitute for medical care so if you're having any medical or motional issues please call with your physician or health care provider welcome to the tapping revolution my name is joan kaylor and i am going to be your host for this series of shows this season on emotional freedom techniques and energy psychology now i know you all saw the disclaimer before the show started but once again i would just like to mention that energy psychology and emotional freedom techniques are no substitute for medical care so if you're having any medical issues or emotional issues please consult with your physician or health care provider ok all right now that we've gotten that out of the way i want to welcome you all in today we're going to do some breathing exercises i want to take you through some exercises to prepare you for doing the tapping that we're going to be doing together in later shows sometimes we feel confused we feel out of sorts our head feels foggy when that happens it's like our head just filled with clouds and it's hard to focus it's hard to concentrate so i want to take you through a series of breathing exercises today that would help clear your mind clear your head and get your physical body all ready for tapping into motion freedom techniques ok so the first thing i want to take you through is just a short tapping exercise in case you're feeling some anxiety or in case you're having the start of a panic attack when you are hard starts to beat faster you feel nauseous you break out in a cold sweat all those are physical symptoms of a panic attack so this will be the only tapping then i teach you on the show but i want you to go to underneath your throat and find the edges of your color bone right below your throat and then you're going to fall off those edges right underneath about an inch right here kind of like a soft spot below your caller bone and then what you want to do is just tap below your call and bone and this is the switch to your adrenaline which turns off the adrenaline that's causing bananas id attack or the beginning of a panic attack so when you do that and then and then try and take a slow deep breath what that does is that moves the panicky feeling away from the back of your head to the front of your head and you start to call down then you're able to breathe a little bit easier you're able to get a water or whatever you need to do to calm down so that's just the beginning of what i'm going to teach you this year about emotional freedom techniques but i wanted you to have that ok now we're going to do  crossover breathing so this is to help these are calling soothing breathing exercises this is unlike anything that you may have seen before as a matter of fact this goes way beyond abdominal breathing so what you're going to do is you're going to extend put your left foot over your right foot right near the ankle extend your arms out like this take your right hand so your arms are back to back so you take your right hand up over on that ridge and you're going to inhale through your nose and then you're going to relax your tongue on the floor of your mouth and exhale through your mouth so it's a deep inhale you're feeling anxious when you're driving what you can do obviously do not do the hands and do not do the feet but you can put your tongue behind your upper teeth on that ridge in health through your nose relax your tongue on the floor of your mouth and exhale through your mouth so you can do that say three or four times while you're driving because heaven knows that everybody else but you is driving ridiculous  not putting your signal on cutting in front of you turning without a signal all kinds of crazy stuff so when you get behind an ridiculous driver and you feel irritated do the breathing ok all right now we're going to do ok what's called wayne cook's hook up you don't have to remember any of this but this is what they're called and if you go to youtube and look any of this up you'll see variations but it's all the same thing putting your body in a pose that will help it take in the oxygen release the oxygen and release any anxiety or feelings of confusion that you have this one i'm going to put my left leg on my right knee i'm going to put my right hand on my left ankle ok actually ladies and gentleman hold that thought i'm going to take my shoes off because i'm going to grab the bottom of my feet so the left hand and you know what is with your children i mean it may seem really funny but everybody will have fun doing it and you'll feel so much better afterward so you could do this before homework before going to sleep at night this would be so much fun to do your breathing exercises before you go to sleep so again left foot on right knee right hand on left ankle left hand crossing over right hand and grabbing the bottom of your foot and then what you're going to do is you're going to gently pull your leg toward you well again you inhale through your mouth with your tongue behind your upper teeth paws put your tongue on the floor of your mouth and exhale through your mouth ok inhale and exhale and when you exhale you gently let your leg go back to where it was so you gently pull your leg in on the exhale inhale rather and let your legs go back to the original position on the  when you're going to repeat the process on the office legs and then it's going to be right leg on left me left hand on right ankle right hand crossing over and grabbing the bottom of your foot tongue behind your upper teeth inhale through your nose pull your leg gently toward you relax your tongue on the floor of your mouth exhale and let your leg go again three more times so you want to do it both places you want to do it with the left leg and then you want to do it with the right leg and what's really cool about that if you do that with your child ten times they are going to sleep like they were a baby again like it is so relaxing and i suggest you do it for yourselves parents because anything that parents do we are modeling the behavior for our children so it helps you be more relaxed so if you want to do that before you go to sleep at night that would be fantastic or do it with your child and you will be so relaxed ten times before you go to sleep at night five times if you just want to relax so that is when cook's hook up all right now i'm going to take you to the fingers on the forehead and this is really cool so i'm just going to lower my glasses for a moment take your fingertips and just gently place them in the middle of your forehead and then what happens is what ever you're worried about whatever's causing you to be anxious focus on your breast if you hold this pose it might not take three minutes but if you hold this pose for three minutes eventually you will feel your heartbeat through your fingertips it is the coolest thing and what happens when you feel your heartbeat through your fingertips is that you're no longer anxious so you go from the back of your head in your limbic system and your amid new law which holds flight flight or fear to the front of your head which is call and peaceful so you just hold this pose breathing in through your nose and through your mouth we still recommend putting your time behind your upper teeth on the inhale and letting your tongue relax on the floor of your mouth on the exhale and then eventually you're going to feel your heartbeat through your fingertips and you'll be in the front of your head that is a really neat relaxation techniques technique i told you i have relaxation techniques that you may have never heard of before but that's what the tapping revolution is all about teaching you things that you may never heard of before now i'm going to do kind of a crazy thing called hold my toe so i'm going to take my index fingers and i'm going to take the point of my fingers right closest to the thumb we want to take that because that's where the end of the meridian system is or your electrical pathways so this point right here on this and and this point right here on this hand then i'm going to cross my arms and then you want to do this if you're laying down just kind of like bring your legs up to you in a kind of fraud position i'm going to bend over in the chair today i'm going across my hands and then you're going to put your right hand the index finger on your big toe next to your big toe and i know this looks really silly but it works then you're going to take let's see i want to make sure you get this ok again your left hand your index finger and put it at the tip of the to go next to your big to so i hope the camera can get that now obviously this is kind of a strange position to be on camera but if you do this when you're sitting down when you're laying in bed it is a whole lot easier what this does is it call in acupuncture an acupressure it call the stomach meridian because the stomach meridian the end of the st is located on the side next to the big toe on the second toe here and then when we take our index fingers then this is the large intestine and i'll go into detail about this and further shows but just touching the large intestine to the stomach meridian call everything down ok so that's why i took my shoes off for the show today because i wanted to show you these breathing techniques ok now we're going to do the whole the elbow and the knee technique this takes care of what's called the fibroid meridian also known as the triple warmer so your right hand you're going to place your fingers gently below your knee your left hand you're going to place your fingers about two inches up from your elbow on the side of your arm and this is touching your triple warmer or your thyroid meridian and when we get all excited and have too much energy our trip warmer is out of control our thyroid meridian is out of control so this helps to call him down triple warmer which is wonderful so you do this and you hold this pose on your right need for about three minutes doing your deep breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth when you start to feel super relaxed almost as though you're going to fall asleep then you're going to transfer over to the other leg so now i'm going to take my left hand and gently press in below my knee and then take my right hand put it on the side of my arm about two inches below my elbow just having my fingers gently press in to the the side of my arm and this will call me  triple warmer on this side you know what ladies and gentlemen if you do this and teach your children how to do this you may and i stress the word bankers you have to always work with your doctor before you do this may not need medication ok but always consult with your doctor do not ever ever ever go cold turkey off a medication that's a very very dangerous thing to do you always have to go under the guidance of your physician so then getting back to the touch the knee technique and the arm technique hold this for two or three minutes and you will sleep like a baby ok so that is the touching me touching arm technique right now those are all exercises number of issues that go on here those are all exercises for relaxation i'm going to do a little commercial here i don't know

my classes all right now to wake up say that your asleep especially for these god bless everybody that has to get up at these ungodly hours say six o'clock in the morning or whatever time you have to wake up for school ok your finest plan is live right in the in your chest now i'm not going to do it for really really hard because i've got my system and for waking up and just for getting the blood going there's the finalists ok now i'm going to teach you the belly button tap so i'm going to stand and go over to the other side of my ok give the courteous a k what we're going to do is place a left hand over your belly button this is like turning your computer off and on this reboot your nervous system and really make she relaxed and sharp and ready to meet the day so left hand over belly button take your middle an index finger place them above and below your lip and wiggle your lip and you're just taking your hand and kind of circling a little bit over your belly button and you take your hand and make a gentle fist reach behind you and rub the end of your tailbone and then you're going to do it opposite so if you're using your left hand of your belly button you're now going to use your right hand over your belly butt and just gently massage that area while you w massage your caller moan points and reaching behind you with a gentle fist and rubbing the end of your tailbone this will help wake you up get you centered get you sharp to start your day it's fantastic and any time you feel slightly off or any time you feel like you're in a state of confusion do the belly button tap now if you're in a place where you don't feel comfortable doing that you can go ahead and do it in your head and it still works but i recommend doing the physical act of it because i think it's a lot of fun ok now this is really cool to help you focus i'm going to teach you how to cross crawl or how to do marching all right so what we're going to do is we're going to touch the opposite me to the opposite handsome starting with my right hand and i'm touching my left knee and i'm taking my left hand and touching my right knee so we go back and forth and stuck in your thoughts and you have a hard time focusing this is an excellent exercise for helping you focus i say i tell my parents i'm going to go ahead and sit down now everyone i tell the parents that i work with try this cross crawl exercise first before getting on any stimulants if you or your child have attention deficit disorder because this may be the ticket that you need if you're already on it stay on it but do this and this will improve your focus and your concentration here let me show you something i recommend doing the marching exercise before going to school or going to work but say you're sitting down at the computer or you're starting to study you can do it sitting down by just touching your right hand to your left knee and your left hand to your right knee and going back and forth like that still doing the humming in the counting  one two three four five the humming accesses the right side of the brain the counting accesses the left side of the brain so you hum count and your brain fires together so instead of thinking like this you're thinking like this you want to think like an x so that both sides of the brain communicate with each other not parallel thinking where the left side thinking what it  and the right side thinking what it wants you want to think together so that both sides are communicating ok so i think that is an excellent exercise for focus whether you have you don't have to have attention deficit disorder when i'm sitting down to do a major project i do that now here's something before taking a test ok you want you don't want to be obvious just put your hands in your lap and pass opposite leg with opposite hand and in your head count and home ok so you can do that before you take your  test that's about the least obvious that i can show you but i really think it's helpful i would love it if everybody at the high school would do this everybody in all of peter's township where i live would do this right  into the marching in place we did the sinning cross crawl ok so we are rolling along here so these are all exercises that i wanted to bring to you today so that you could use some breathing exercises if you are over stimulated and you need to calm down or if you are under stimulated and you need to wake up so all these exercises will do both and this will also i'm i'm thrilled to say that this show will be uploaded to my youtube
