Trauma, Anxiety or Phobias

1. Think of your feelings of discomfort. When you are in touch with your feelings of discomfort, begin Step 2.
   
2. Tapping Sequence - Using two finger tips, tap solidly at least five times at the start of either EYEBROW and then tap five times just below either EYE (on the bony ridge) while staying with your discomfort. Then tap five times under either arm, approximately 4 inches below the pit of the ARM and then tap five times on your chest just below the COLLARBONE, approximately one inch down and one inch over on either side of the center hollow at the base of your throat.
   
3. Re-evaluate your anxiety again, and if the intensity of your feelings is less than it was initially, go to Step 4. If the intensity has not gone down a little, do the following: Tap the little finger side of either hand (the Karate Chop Spot) for 20 seconds Or,if after tapping the side of the hand and then repeating the tapping procedure as described in Step 2 the intensity of your feelings still has not gone down a little, do the following: locate the tender area of the upper left chest beneath the left collarbone, press down with your fingers and rub this area in a circular motion for about 20 seconds.) Repeat Step 2 before going on to Step 4.

4. 9 Gamut Treatment - Next is a sequence of activities that are done while tapping at a spot on the back of either hand. The spot is just below and between the knuckle of the little finger and the knuckle of the next finger. With the hand flat, tap this spot continually while doing the following activities (about 5 taps for each of the 9 activities). Each activity is designed to activate a different area of your brain

• EYES CLOSED

• EYES OPEN

• EYES LOOK DOWN AND TO THE RIGHT (HEAD STILL)

• EYES LOOK DOWN AND TO THE LEFT

• ROLL EYES IN A CIRCLE

• ROLL EYES IN A CIRCLE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION

• HUM A LITTLE TUNE (to isolate the right brain)

• COUNT TO FIVE (to activate the left brain)

• HUM A LITTLE TUNE (back to the right brain)

Repeat Step 2. And then: Re-evaluate the level of your discomfort. If it is still fairly high, repeat Step 3, either tapping on the side of the hand or, if you needed it earlier in the sequence, rubbing the tender spot described in Step 3. Repeat Step 2, Step 4 and repeat Step 2 again.

If your anxiety level is much lower, but not completely gone, tap the spot just below and between the knuckle of the little finger and the knuckle of the next finger on the back of your hand, hold your head still, look down toward the floor and then, gradually, to the count of 6 or 7, vertically raise your eyes until looking at the ceiling.
