welcoming and you know what even has a bar today our guest is caryn davidson who is a renowned international trainer of meridian tapping techniques the matrix re imprinting and co author of the books e f t level one and level two comprehensive training resource so let's go inside find car makes m current has worked around the world and taught thousands of people to help themselves and then help others to free themselves from the past and become brighter happier people with warm futures welcome c about something if you have stress if you're mad at your husband or wife or you know any kind of like this kind of feeling and what happens when you get like this you can't think very right so what we do is we use the meridian system what that is is you have bands in your body that takes the blood around right w meridians is the energy lines the pathways in your body so when you react to something and you get a negative emotion that's like a blockage of those meridians and you can't think i mean can you can you think when you're stressed yes but probably about the wrong thing sadly so what happens is you use these meridians systems by pressing or tapping on acupressure points you know what acupuncture is right yes so if you by tapping are pressing or rubbing just stimulating the points what it does is it pushes through those negative emotions and it lowers the negative emotion i mean that simple if you think about a bad show me what it looks because so people can picture this so there's there's there's ten points that we normally is but i usually only teach people three of them at first and you just start that we like of that one of them starts here one of them starts here but not necessarily so if you don't know if there is a you know point here and you can tap along the mirroring meridian lower because it's a line or only tapping on the beginning like you know e g electroencephalogram yes where they put those things on your head they're actually putting them on acupressure points so that they're reading the energy field you know the lines for the e g s so this is not as weird as you think it is i mean we really do have energy systems and things like that and you've heard of ci or that kind of th technique there's a whole bunch of them it depends on you know the style that you want to is how does somebody who is working as a t v producer and you should see her she's been i can see her mind working as a producer during this whole shoot it's hard not see how does someone go from that to becoming a practitioner not just tapping but becoming a teacher people tell me their life story i mean i'm looking at a sweater at a mall or something and you know this one comes up next to me and she holds up the sweater and she says you know i just found out my daughter has three months to live she has cancer what am i supposed to do with that what am i supposed to do with that so i learned reiki i mean like a television producer was have to do with this stuff so i learned reiki and colors and crystals and i mean i tried to learn all this stuff to try to help people and nothing stuck they all felt better they would walk out they would feel better but it didn't stick it didn't get rid of whatever was causing it and then i found having changed things i'm taking your word for it i believe i've done all the research on this well i'm always a skeptic so you know i like to get a little firsthand information so i think we do have some people here today have had some success w some things for you oh awesome you this i look yeah young man there's a place actually there is no fire and the village people but anyway what's the significance of this moment it's quite interesting two thousand and seven i was forced out of the workplace as a firefighter due to post traumatic stress disorder and for about a five year period that was buried confined it literally hit it somewhere in the did a phenomenal job there were actually three events that sort of were the if you want to look at the crowning touch that kind of pushed me over the edge and smile about it now i could smile about it then and most of them involve children which is always obviously the worst and because you had such success with it now you your practitioner yourself you're teaching others that's correct i've worked on a little over a hundred people to this point firefighters nurses police officers and military people  amazing amazing to see it from the other side of the chair and watch the transformation how quickly it happens how easily it happens it's painless to someone that doesn't understand tapping it's almost magical and at first you know they think well what kind of drugs is this guy on i need to try some right it seems to be working for him but wonder why it's working for him what does it all boat what does dez more than anything is when you see more bit events when you experience them smell them hear them you have the ability to take that down a number of notches to the point where you no longer it no longer becomes all of the things that a trauma is you remember it but you you're not triggered it it's not an emotional event meisters it happens pretty huge i was the best i think that happened was i was diagnosed with clinical depression when i was hundred nine and i spent several years on lots of different occasions and told that i would never ever be offered them i interned for car and davidson in a different business entirely as a graphic designer and i had sort of a little breakdown at her office and was trying to sit at my desk and not cry anybody to the office see me cry and she was like what are you medication i haven't had any relapses in five or six years i was nervous before i was diagnosed with depression and because of all the meds i wasn't able to see pictures in my mind anymore and through some tapping specifically on that and the side effects of the meds i was able to see pictures now again now an artist i finished two degrees since not being depressed when i couldn't even go to school when i was i'm an e f t practitioner and i found as i was looking for a way to clear stuff that i had that that i had for years i had some issues in my you know some memories that kept popping up and no matter what i did i was a performer and no matter what did you know my conscious brain would say ok so i know the problems in the past and and it's done with and i know it's not with me now but it was it was still be there and no matter what i did in my conscious mind i couldn't change it i performed i perform very successfully but i had a problem with going further being even more successful and so over the years i kind of left show business and i had a family i had kids and  and then i wanted to come back into showbiz and i found that when i went to audition i would come up with the same tarif it was tara and i didn't realize at the time that i was actually having post traumatic stress my issue was incest and sexual abuse from when i was a kid and i thought i had it handled but i really didn't so that's when i started working on that issue e f t is help me realize and get through the trauma once you get through the trauma with the f t with the tapping and you work on the multi level slike and onion skin you peeling the layers off the onion in my experience i was trying to hide so when i was performing i wasn't really being as really awesome as i could have been because there was his part of me that was you know contracting in and hiding because i didn't want people to really know the truth which was my belief system which was not good enough or you know you really can't know that about me because that's hidden and it's dirty and it's all these things so there we go but if he helps my god it's fantastic so now i'm a practitioner and i help others but that issue i've actually had so many amazing breakthroughs with tapping that i think we wanted to focus on a couple that i had when i did the e f t practitioner training and i really i've had chronic pain my entire life and also a traumatic brain injury and when i was around forty i was really being bothered by the lights in the room where we had our training the reason that they were hurting me is because when i was in the ambulance it had that same kind of like after you had actually has this accident and i had been like for thirteen years on able to be in fluorescent light for more than a little tiny bit of time i would have seizures and i don't know maybe about six months ago i started like every time i was here and people's problems would say you know i think i could help them with tapping so i decided to take the practitioner training with car and do people notice the change in you oh my god like i mean obviously you can drive at night now you know there was so incredible changes my friends don't even recognize me all through my teenage years early twenty's i had suffered from depression on and off and never really wanted to take the medication route i had found reiki which is kind of like pot to me it's like the gateway into this energy world gateway into a new type of drug where did you say i did it's what it is it's a gateway afford that and i was doing my own work without even realizing that so i tapped for the next four years but i always thought i had to like sit down get ready to all of these points and know what i was going to tap on and then after reading  level one level two books i realized i could incorporate this in a whole new way and at that time i had just become a mom and i'm a mom to a beautiful funny just amazing son but he's not a sleeper since i started tapping on him for saying i couldn't communicate with him he couldn't communicate with me but as i would hold him i would just go only rob on this point since even though i don't know why you can't sleep i know you're having trouble sleeping and it's ok and he would fall asleep in my arms and it was amazing for something that had brought so much pressure a string to me to like have a way to just be able to in a few minutes calm both him and me and so i think every parent should know tapping because i use it now not just for sleep like this morning he like  started crying and he now knows i go to you on a tap and he goes tap tap tap and so we just tap on the spots to let it release so kids are going to have all these little traumas if i can help him learn how to take care of the little traumas when he has a big trauma he's can we try a little something on me peace oh really it makes it much easier because then you can feel it yourself so let's just as you have any feeling bad feelings going on inside you and kind of stress anxiety fear yes so i have some people call it  fear of commitment i'm going to call it fear of failure because i know in a situation now where my yes my girlfriend is moving from australia and  round one round with only three points and you went from a seven to a three or four so imagine if we did ten points and did more of it and more more than one round so one round three points that's how much change you had and that's why i try to get people to just try it how do you then teach a child that stephanie was saying you know she doesn't want her child but can you can actually teach children not just do it i did you imagine you can get rid of your all your baggage by the age of six instead of sixty i mean what if we what if we gave this as a tool to children to be able to deal because kids they don't listen to first of all you know they get told at who can they tell that they're upset with their teacher who can they where can they vent they can't vent to your parent because you're going to trouble and we have we have little tools ok see that it has points these are the points are so they can tell tell the bear the secret like and i'm sorry mom is mad and teacher was really mean to you today and i'm really sorry that teach it teacher was so mean and because i didn't really know i didn't know the answer and so i'm really upset with my teacher i'm not it's the bear the bears upset with my teacher because i'm a good little boy or i'm a good little girl so it's the bear that's upset  you're not doing that's it has to do a surrogate tapping you said you know right it's we're all one we're all energy and things like that you are actually when you're tapping on the bear you're tapping with yourself your own energy field you are dissociating yourself from the bad thing so like if you're afraid of spiders it doesn't matter if the spiders all the way across the room you're doing this afraid of spiders well if we can dissociate you from that if we can take that feeling that and you can tap in sometimes tapping him or three rounds i mean you can get rid of a phobia that fast but aren't you tell yourself good notice when you're tapping you're actually reinforcing the negative right ok so that's the other weird thing yes you say the negative when you tap because that's what you're trying to dissociate is that you know that feeling of negative so we do tap when you say the negative now you hear all the time oh don't say the negative that's a bad thing to do you know positive affirmation but the truth is you're shining a light in the corner and you're going no i feel anxious because she's coming here is there actually  physical phenomenon that is happening in the body or is this all brain john i know it's i mean the physical part of it is you're stimulating the points and pushing through the energy through the meridians and it's dissociating it and it has to do with the mental and hippocampus because once you start doing this tapping what they found is the a middle of the which is trying to keep you safe is that it's that it's job ok if you tap and you're not and you're not feeling anxious any more the head of the campus  it's because when you have something that's that's been bothering you for so long and you top it disappears they're like i don't think it's having so i was at a networking event and there's a woman at a table and you know i go around and say what do you do and i say well i do this i help people feel better about things curse words about her husband who left her fifteen years ago and jest one little bit with us and we just i mean and everybody's doing this because you don't expect it to come out of her and i'm like ok is that are it if i tap on you and do this and she said yes and  so obviously that was a ten because of the cursing i said how do you feel about your husband because she was like what you mean like you know that he left you that was fifteen years ago i don't care and then she goes and i'm like well what about the how of the car and the kids oh yeah it was not great he left me the house to the left in the car and left me with the kids was really easy i don't know what you do this weird thing doesn't work and she gets up to go get a glass of wine and i'm just blanking and everybody around the table is going to have your card have i mean she just and that's the apex affection fifteen years she's been hating her husband for doing this it can't possibly here now it's all better and doctors were i had another guy who came in and he had anger issues slamming things and throwing things and all and stuff and he called me for the third appointment he says the stuff's not working you know i'm not going to show up for my appointment i said i think you need to talk to your roommates he said why so they've all called me to get appointments for themselves because he's not slamming things anymore and he didn't even know it so it's the apex effect where it's just so it feels like you so you don't think that it possibly could be banging on your face you know to get rid of this now and watching some your videos i notice there's lots of different techniques one of kind of interesting tap and complain yeah that's great that's great you know everybody always tells you don't complain it's a bad thing to do but with tapping you're actually helping yourself so you just sit there and you tap on all the points and just whine and what it's doing is it's taking all those aspects about the way you feel about it and lowering them all and it's so much fun because you're giving people permission for the first time ever to just whine and they love it so a lot of times people say well what do i say you know what are the words to use when i'm temping just you know complain whine bitch right so we go from bitching to the man who probably has one of the most difficult and worst jobs in the world that you yeah i get real emotional when when i talk about this because you know the reason i'm doing this is to help people and could you imagine this guy's job this guy's job he takes the results of cancer tests his job is to bring people in to tell them whether or not they have cancer that's his job i mean that is the worst job in the world so he came to a course and he's like but i'm a doctor i can't touch my you know i can't i can't tap on them and so i showed him i said can you hold their hand he said yes and i said put your there's a point right here you can put your thumb here and there you see other hands you can see better so i can i can this is the karate chop point right so i'm pushing on a crowd each up point and i'm pushing on it's called the gamut point and i could talk to you like this so now what he does is when he tells a patient that they have cancer picks up their hand first and starts talking to them about you the difference he has made in people's lives because when you're when you're told you have cancer it's not just the cancer it's the diagnosis both of those are traumas so if he could heal a trauma just by picking up his hand then they would and nurses they can't win you can't want to tap on people and you know as a nurse but they can do this because they're taking your you know they're taking your pressure on and so they can hold your hand like this and it's change in the hospice you know one people for all your stories gives no that is wonderful so it's a very neat thing well see that's why i do this you know it's you saw how it changes people's lives i mean i was a television producer i mean i did produce news that bleeds it leads you know that's not i'm sorry but i mean nothing against news producers but it's just a rough you know thing to be in and now instead i'm teaching people how to you know help their children feel better p t s d the things that he's going to change the world but you know veterans and jerry's going here he's going to change the world and it's just it i get to be a part of it and i get to be i get to help people help people help people and it's just if i can get them to tap and look stupid for a little bit then i will  perfect segue into my my last question what matters most to you would be the lasting imprint you want to leave planet you know people so they can help the world you know you so when you're one person you know you can because i just thought you tapping and i'm teaching them tapping and then they can teach somebody else and they can teach their friends and they can teach their family so it's not just me because if we all do it we can change the world karen davidson a woman who has dedicated her life to sharing the treasure chest of tapping with the world she's truly a living example that tapping doesn't change the past it changes your attitude and attachment to the past and if you can do that imagine what it can do for your future i mean this simple technique is life altering reminding us one again the simple things in life what
