Download bow - attracting abundance with the tapping method. Tapping active points - a method of awakening healing energy

At first glance, this technique seems silly. Okay, not just stupid - even absurd.

Because it looks like this: a person taps his fingers on the edge of the palm, crown, bridge of the nose and other parts of the body and at the same time repeats words like self-hypnosis (“I accept myself as I am”, “I love myself, no matter what”, etc. ).

And it is completely incomprehensible: how can such actions help, for example, with claustrophobia ?!

However, feedback from people practicing the tapping technique (it is also called the Emotional Freedom Technique) suggests that it works. It works to overcome phobias, experience unpleasant memories, to attract wealth, career achievements, love into your life, to fight addictions (but in this case only under the supervision of a specialist!).

However, enough intrigue - I'll start in order! Only in reverse order.

I will immediately describe how exactly it is necessary to perform tapping, and then I will give the rationale for this method and the opinions of scientists who have already studied the effect of applying the emotional freedom technique.

Therapy session

It consists of several stages, the main of which is tapping fingers on certain points of the body. However, first you need to clearly define the problem with which to work.

For example: "I have a headache", "I'm afraid to ride in an elevator", "I can't find a common language with my superiors" and so on.

Then - listen to your feelings and assess the strength of this problem on a 10-point scale. How many points does she "hook"? ..

Now you can proceed directly to the session. You just need to tune into it too. Repeating words (three times in a row):

“Even though (here it is necessary to voice my“ sore point ”), I deeply and completely accept myself”

At the same time, lightly tap with the fingertips of one hand along the edge of the palm of the other. You need to tap the so-called “karate point” (it is highlighted in the next image under the number 12).

At full session with fingertips, we tap the points in the following sequence: the beginning of the eyebrow, the edge of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, the beginning of the collarbone, under the arm, thumb, index finger, middle finger, little finger, karate point.

The exact location of the dots can be seen in the image. In this case, it absolutely does not matter which hand and on which side the tapping is carried out.

For short session the points are: crown, above the bridge of the nose, edge of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, under the lip, the beginning of the clavicle, under the arm. To get a better idea of ​​where to knock, see video. By the way, following the example of this video, you can also understand what you should say to yourself during therapy.

It is necessary to repeat the entire session about seven times, but it is better to focus on your own feelings: is it enough or can you go one more round? ..

After that, the next stage is to take a few deep breaths and once again assess the state of your problem according to a 10-point school. If the state is neutral (that is, equal to zero), then that's it - the exercise is completed, defeated! Otherwise, you need to repeat the session until the coveted number 0 is reached.

Again, if you believe the description and reviews, then even a beginner is quite capable of not only overcoming the technique of emotional freedom in 10-15 minutes, but also using it to cope with his problem.

How it works?

In general, the essence of the tapping technique is similar to Chinese acupressure (pressure on energy points) and acupuncture (impact on these points with special needles).

According to the traditional Chinese idea, energy flows constantly pass through a person. They go along special meridians. However, physical or emotional pain can clog these "paths" and thereby block the flow of energy. To release them, it is necessary to act on special points of the body: either to put pressure on them, or to stick needles there.

Tapping - the same impact, only by tapping on the points.

The American engineer Gary Craig is considered to be the creator of the Emotional Freedom Technique. However, even before him, psychologist Roger Callahan used this technique in his sessions.

It all started with a patient named Mary, who was terribly afraid of water. She wanted to, but all traditional methods were powerless. For a year of work, the results looked like this: Mary could only sit on the edge of the pool and put her feet in the water. However, her heart continued to beat faster.

At one of the sessions, a woman complained:

"When I think about water, I get an unpleasant sensation in the lower abdomen."

And since Dr. Callahan was interested in meridian points, he decided to try an unconventional method: he asked Mary to tap for several minutes with her fingers on a point that is located directly under the eye (it is she who is associated with the stomach).

Surprisingly, the discomfort disappeared and the patient was able not only to approach the water without anxiety, but also to plunge into it.

After this incident, Roger Callahan began to develop a new technique. But if he developed a whole (and complex) algorithm of influence: for one problem, knock on this point, on another - on this one, then his student Gary Craig simplified the procedure. He identified a basic set of points (and their sequence) that help in any case, regardless of the problem.

At the physiological level

Scientists who research the tapping technique explain its effectiveness as follows.

The stress response in the human body begins in the amygdala. It is this area of ​​the brain that enters the limbic system (the source of emotions and long-term memory) and triggers the famous “Flight or Fight!” if faced with a situation that ended very badly in the past.

For example, in childhood, the boy was ridiculed by classmates when he answered at the blackboard. The cerebellar tonsil "remembered" this. As a result, the boy grew up, but every time before performing in front of the public he experiences horror and stress.

At the same time, according to experts, if the cerebellar amygdala triggers anxiety, then the body does not care: is there really a real threat to it or are all these unreasonable fears. He just reacts with the release of the same cortisol (stress hormone).

But what happens when tapping is connected. The person is immersed in his problem - and the amygdala immediately reacts to the memories. However, tapping the end points of the meridian sends calming signals to the body.

A calmed hippocampus (another component of that same limbic system) reassesses the situation, sees that there is no real threat. Even vice versa. And “says” to the cerebellar amygdala: they say, you don’t have to worry so much - it’s not because of what!

As a result, "reprogramming" begins, the situation ceases to be stressful - and fear, discomfort, etc. go away. (By the way, I described this process briefly and in simple words - so, experts, do not judge strictly!)

Research scientists

American researcher Dawson Church (now he is the author of many books on the technique of tapping) conducted an interesting experiment. He divided 83 volunteers into three groups.

One Emotional Freedom Technique sessions were conducted second- an hour of traditional psychotherapy through conversation, and third left without treatment.

After the participants measured the level of cortisol in the body (it was measured before the start of the experiment). It turned out that the largest decline was observed precisely in the first group: on average, by 24 percent, and in some cases even up to 50. At the same time, neither in the second, nor even more so in the third, such a significant decrease in cortisol levels was observed.

However, as already mentioned, the tapping technique can help not only with stress and experiencing negative emotions. With its help, you can get rid of the attitudes received in early childhood, which now, in adulthood, prevent you from moving towards your goal.

True, it is not as easy to correctly determine what kind of attitude this is as it is to determine your own phobia.

How to do it?

Recommendations can be found in this video(I will not retell it). There you can also hear a lot of interesting things about the technique of emotional freedom.

By the way, if you think about it, then humanity has already ceased to treat acupuncture with distrust.

What's worse than tapping?.. Maybe it's worth a try, what do you think?

Tamara, 35 years old

It's just incredible, Dmitry! I never thought my liver was related to my career. Starting to tap myself according to your method, I discovered that my character had changed, and instead of a disgruntled bore, I turned into an optimistic and full of life person. My new image was appreciated by both colleagues and superiors, my salary increased by 3.5 times. And all thanks to such a simple method!

Victor Vladimirovich, 54 years old, Novosibirsk

I was wary of all sorts of needles and other oriental medicine. But I tried this simple method. The result for my heart - satisfied!

Konstantin Nikolaevich, Vitebsk, Belarus

The possibilities of reflexology are endless!

If you are ready for self-healing and learning, then understanding the methods and possibilities of oriental reflexology is your path that never ends! I was always ready to learn! But I must admit right away that the desire to work in certain areas of reflexology arose in me because of my own long-standing ailments, cured only with the help of traditional oriental practice. I appreciated and mastered this healing practice, and now I myself have not left it for many years. The longer I practice, the more often I affirm that each of us should be able to influence the active zones of our body with the help of reflexology! After all, any person is able to master the techniques of acupressure (impact with fingers) and help themselves become healthy.

This book is far from my first work on reflexology. I preface each of them with important words: the one who helps people does not have a “monopoly” on the health of the patient, the one who helps people has knowledge and practical experience that can and should be transferred. In order to explain the methods of Chinese reflexology and to speak the same language with those I help, some time ago I wrote books about the treatment of the spine and joints and the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract using the Chinese practice of chiu (heating of the active zones). Then a book was published about the Korean method of su-jok - treatment with the help of active zones on the palms and feet.

The book that you are holding in your hands is dedicated to a relatively young method of treatment and diagnosis, which in America and Europe has already been called the “tapping method”. If the previous topics about the spine and digestion did not interest you (and I'm only glad about that!), then we will have to take an introductory course from the very beginning. If you are familiar with the previous books or have practiced heat therapy or acupressure techniques yourself, you can partly skip the introduction! However, do not disregard the information about Japanese and Korean acupressure.

Because this book includes elements not only of Chinese medicine, but also of other Eastern practices.

It seems to me that Japanese and Korean methods of diagnosis and treatment are more suitable for us, Europeans, on a psychological basis. Chinese scrupulousness and a powerful theoretical base among young people always cause protest at first. And the Korean and Japanese approach has an element of determination: confidently, quickly, with a fighting spirit! But at the same time, the same basic concepts are involved as in ancient Chinese practice. In any case, oriental massage and its western arrangement can be your method if we get a good result. And this will inevitably happen, no matter what technique we try to start with!

The tapping method is a Western branch of Eastern therapy.

Let's make an initial assessment tapping method so you know right away what's going on!

To treat our body, oriental medicine uses special points located along the so-called energy meridians. Many people know about this by hearsay, but some of my patients at the reception say that they have encountered treatment with “needles”. Indeed, a reflexologist affects the points with various methods: acupuncture (acupuncture), heat treatment, massage, pressure with mechanical devices and even magnets! All these methods have been tested for a long time, they work great and, it would seem, do not require extension. But, firstly, modern practice does not stand still, and, secondly, its ancient base is so extensive that we are always at the beginning of the path.

So, a relatively new method of tapping energy points is based on traditional Chinese and Japanese massage, and in many respects intersects with them. Its identity lies in the emphasis on psychological component of the treatment.

The simplest tapping massages on the back of the head have been used since ancient times to excite vitality, to concentrate thinking in responsible moments among officials, pundits and schoolchildren. Our neurologists, neuropathologists, reflexologists could not ignore this method of influence, because it gives an interesting result. In the process of such a massage, it is possible to stimulate and excite our nervous system, to bring deep emotions, unwanted subconscious attitudes and programs to the surface. And not just pull them to the surface, but also demolish them, as the programmers say. That is, to ruthlessly destroy the negativity accumulated over the years, which gives painful attitudes to the whole body.

The tapping method works with any manifestation of emotional stress. With anxiety, fear, dangerous addiction, overwhelming guilt, belief that limits our success and prosperity. These results were achieved by reflexologists who work with patients with diseases that seem not directly related to stress. At first, we used reflexology as an excellent method of influencing neurological pain, allergies, immune diseases. But it turned out that massage also eliminates such a basis of immunodeficiency as stress.

How does tapping work on the body?

How does the tapping technique work?

Oriental reflexology is built on the fact that not only ill health, but also any life problem, in principle, begins at the energy level. The right impact on the energy system destroys the root of the problem. The tapping changes the neutron bonds that triggered the painful reactions or the painful type of behavior. After several sessions carried out in the desired area of ​​our body, we get emotional freedom. And this is just an addition to general health improvement organism, which is generally aimed at reflexology.

By the way, in chronic or acute diseases, tapping can remove the emotional stress caused by the pathology within a few minutes. It is very important! It's no secret that depressing thoughts about the disease, suspiciousness, hypochondria often cause more harm to the body than the disease itself!

The ancient traditional methods of influencing the active zones of the body were physically unpleasant, since the effect was always carried out through pain. Acupuncture (acupuncture) is still associated with minor pain, although it is considered a very effective technique! But acupuncture requires special medical training, so it is not suitable for self-help.

We will use only the impact of fingers on biologically active points.

The method of tapping is convenient precisely because outside help is needed only at first, and this help is only theoretical!

The practitioner needs to find out the location of biologically active points, energy meridians. Learn to choose for work those of them that are most appropriate for a disease state or disease prevention. Knowledge of biologically important points and zones will allow us to remove the pain syndrome for a long time under any conditions, that is, to quickly provide ourselves with first aid.

However, the tapping method is focused not so much on the temporary elimination of illness or stress, but on reducing the duration of treatment and on a sustainable result!

Why is this method convenient both for busy, energetic young people and for people of advanced age, who are no longer so easy to seriously go into the intricacies of oriental therapy:

The tool for influencing the body is always with you - these are our hands.

We do not use any foreign influence on the body, injuring the skin, leading to infection, with this method.

Tapping is a great way to de-stress yourself and your loved ones.

The idea of ​​biologically active zones at first can be very approximate. "Mistakes", the impact on the "wrong" zones will not cause any complications, but only activates "extra" energy channels. But who knows, suddenly at this moment our intuition will be above knowledge, and the body will incline us to tapping the most necessary zones! However, after the start of practice, the volume of knowledge is replenished quite quickly, and intuition receives the necessary information reinforcement. If only because the memory improves significantly thanks to reflexology!

Chapter 1
How to transfer the energy of the fingers to the body

The tapping method combines two important components: finger movement and mental accompaniment. Fingers work with energy points, and thinking is focused on liberation from problems that have arisen in the body - physical or psychological.

We can imagine how to work with our psychological clamps. Because each of us has personal experience of overcoming some spiritual problems. After all, we seriously learn this from early childhood throughout our lives. And if they had not learned anything, they would not have come to the need to develop opportunities. Reflexotherapy, of course, puts forward its own requirements for psychological attitudes, and we will follow them in the course of mastering the method.

As for the energy zones of the body, the novice practitioner knows about them only by hearsay. But this is the main subject of influence of any method of reflexology. We proceed from the fact that energy moves in the body like blood, like lymph, like gastric juice, like air in the lungs. The circulatory system is best compared to the energy system. It is easy to imagine that not a single tissue of the body will live more than an hour if it is deprived of its blood supply. So, without the movement of energy, the tissue also becomes ill and can also die.

A person is healthy as long as the continuous movement of energy in each of his energy vessels is maintained. We will call these vessels meridians. Energy in the meridians, like blood in the circulatory system, moves faster or slower, depending on the needs of the body. But as soon as the movement is stalled, the disease begins. To become healthy again, you need to understand where the energy blockage has formed and eliminate it.

Congestion or stagnation of energy can arise deep in the tissues of organs and systems, but the path to it lies through the outer points of the energy meridian. From the fingers and toes to the lungs, heart, stomach, winding trajectories of energy are laid, which must be activated through the surface points of the meridians. It is necessary to push the energy into the deep painful zone. The task of influencing the superficial points of the meridian will be assigned to our palms and fingers during the tapping session.

The tapping method restores the functions of organs and systems. Corrects even those violations that you might not have noticed. It happens that the effect of reflexology begins with regard to one, the most annoying, disease, and after treatment, “minor” problems are eliminated along the way. This is because the points we have acted upon have a multifunctional power, just like the energy meridians.

We ourselves will be able to stimulate vital energy if we learn to influence energy flows. In practice, this looks like blows and pressing on special surface points that are able to transfer the energy of touch to the epicenter of the disease.

hotspots

Points of influence in reflexology are called differently: active points, Chinese points, vital, biologically active, acupuncture (in acupuncture). Their existence on the human body and the body of animals has been known since ancient times.

Modern scientists confirm that these special zones are found from the moment of birth, although disputes about their nature never die out. In appearance, they are completely indistinguishable from other areas of the skin, quite often their location is projected onto large nerve fibers and blood vessels. In the 1960s, domestic scientists suggested that active points most often correspond to the exit points of the nerve trunks. In the region of the points, the connective tissue is loose and has a large number of receptors. Subsequently, it was proved that sensitivity is only one of the characteristic properties of cores. And another important property is a higher level of metabolism in these tiny zones.

The so-called mast cells accumulate here, which play an important role in the secretion of heparin (an anticoagulant) and histamine (a hormone responsible for the reaction to allergens, for capillary expansion, and an increase in the secretion of gastric juice).

When working with energy meridians, we will tap the points belonging to these meridians sequentially, in the direction of energy movement. In Chinese therapy, each point of the meridian is quite rigidly fixed on the body. We will have to spend some time to mark the location of the combinations of points. Most often, such painstaking work is required for chronic diseases, when treatment is supposed to be long.

Tapping will be carried out with the index and middle fingers of the hand. So that the massaging hand does not get tired, does not strain and does not distract us from the intentions for recovery, it must be maximally relaxed in the wrist. When the carpal joint is relaxed, there is no clamping or tension in the palm of the hand or in the elbow joint. In fact, tapping is a good exercise for a massaging hand. In order to feel the charm of blows to the body immediately, let's do a small massage of the back of the head!

Massage for 3 hours of energy

This massage can be used to relieve chronic headaches, to increase muscle tone in case of fatigue or nervous breakdown.

But its main task is to cause a surge of vivacity, an energy surge before serious mental and psychological tests: an exam, a report, a job interview, before a difficult conversation with the boss and any other psychologically uncomfortable interlocutor for us. Cheerfulness and confidence from a 15-minute massage lasts at least three hours!

The best starting position for energy massage is standing, so that the hands move behind the back as freely as possible.

1. Open your palms and round them as if you were holding a small orange in each hand (Pic 1). The fingers should become quite stiff, and the wrists should be well relaxed (such requirements are imposed on pianists). We begin to produce fractional frequent blows with hard fingertips over the entire occipital surface of the head - from the top of the head to the hollow on the neck (we drum for no less than 3 minutes). There should be a sensation in the head of many drumsticks beating a continuous beat on the entire scalp.

Photo 1

2. Let's move down and “pinch” the back of the neck for a few minutes - the fingers should be soft, but predatory.

3. Now let's open our palms and make sure that the wrists are absolutely free. With relaxed palms we strike on the shoulders, shoulder blades, on the back (up to the level of the waist). Only the wrists work, the palms give a perceptible messy slap, which is quite unpleasant to endure! The skin on the back should turn red (although you can spank through a light fabric of clothing, this is done in classic Japanese massage techniques).

4. At the end of the procedure, smooth the surface of the back with a wide movement of the open palm. You can use two palms at once on the left and right half of the back.

Marking energy meridians

We will use many tricks that do not require precise markup of the body. You can approximately mark the points in accordance with the figures. When treatment of a chronic disease is required along strictly laid energy meridians, accurate atlases of 12 main meridians and 2 additional meridians of the human body will come to the rescue. The atlases are pretty accurate. To transfer active points to our body, we, like ancient Chinese healers, will use a proportional measure, which in China is called individual cun.

On atlases, active points are applied in compliance with this very individual cun - not a centimeter, not an inch, but the size of the nail bed of our thumb. If the thumb of any hand is too well developed due to occupation (in the old days this happened with the left finger of the spinners pulling the thread from the tow), use a less developed finger for proportions - it more reliably preserves natural proportions. On photo 2, but shows which part of the thumb is used to measure 1 cun. And four fingers put together make 3 cun (Pic 2, b). The index and middle fingers add up to 1.5 cun (Pic 2, in).

Psychological setting

To start the psychological adjustment, and at the same time prepare the massaging hand for monotonous tapping, let's do exercises for the fingers. The following exercise should be performed by a massage therapist before starting any manual practice: traditional massage, tapping, acupressure (hand pressure). Manual therapy does not have either weak electric currents (like electrophoresis), or an artificial heat source (like UHF), but only clean and warm hands of a massage therapist! They must be energetically properly prepared. If you are doing massage (tapping) to someone from your family, the contact will be more effective. If you are busy with self-massage, then your own healing begins with the preparation of the hands.

Hand preparation

1. Imagine that you are washing your hands in the usual circular motions under a stream of warm water. By the way, the reception can be carried out in the form of a real hand washing under running warm water.

2. Vigorously stretch the joints. 10 times sharply and quickly clench your fingers into a fist and slowly unclench.

3. Then reverse movements: slowly clench your fingers into fists, and then sharply open them like a fan (10 times).

4. With the fingertips of both hands, we vigorously tap each other to cause a surge of strength in the fingers.

5. Again we rub our palms in a circular rotation, as when washing our hands, and this completes the preparation.

Stages of mood

The main task of the psychological attitude is to remove the negative attitude. Let's define it what does it mean for us, practitioners of reflexology, a negative attitude. The concept is extremely broad, but we are busy with a specific matter - the impact on the energy meridians. We are interested in how wrong attitudes can interfere with the elimination of energy stagnation.

A negative attitude in psychology is a concentration on shortcomings:

On what we lack, instead of thinking about what we have;

On what threatens us, and not on what are the resources for recovery;

On the shortcomings of the body, and not on its strengths;

On the previous negative experience of treatment, on recurring pain, on disturbing test results, and not on positive dynamics, a satisfactory condition today, etc.

There is no doubt that even with such attitudes we will begin to be treated and be able to recover! The instinct of self-preservation forces any person to health-improving actions, even in a difficult physical condition: sleep, saving strength - this is also recovery! Sound sleep is enough to get rid of headaches associated with excess or lack of energy. But influencing one's own energy meridians, overcoming fear and disbelief, is just as difficult as interacting with another person if the relationship is aggravated by hostility, fear, fear or guilt.

The reasons for the negative attitude during illness are associated with impaired physiology and unfavorable hormonal levels. The "negative" chemistry of the body gives rise to our hypochondria, and at the same time creates additional blockages in the energy vessels. And we fall into a vicious circle, into a trap. How do masters of Eastern practices break out of this trap? Create an emotional mood for treatment!

1. The initial step in mental attitude is a clear indication of the disease. When we treat a chronic disease, the diagnosis must be made by a physician. You can not invent gastritis, vegetovascular dystonia or bronchitis. It is necessary that the diagnosis be known for certain, and then we will begin treatment.

If tapping is performed solely for psychotherapeutic purposes, a visit to a psychologist is unnecessary! We will try to define the problem ourselves and evaluate it on a ten-point scale. The initial evaluation is very important. Therefore, focus on the degree of unpleasant emotions, and intuition will tell you how much to rate them: from 1 - "this is not a problem at all" to 10 - "worse than nowhere."

2. The next step is called "main statement". At this stage, we do tapping at the points of the karateka on the edges of the palm (Fig. 1), and out loud two or three times we indicate the problem, and then our calm and reasonable attitude to the problem. For example, in this format.

This healing technique is simply called the tapping technique. It is just as easy to use. Find out what this technique is, how and when it can be applied. We do tapping according to the scheme, passing each zone for 1 minute, tapping large zones with a fist and small zones with fingers.

This tapping technique is truly a healing tool that is used to clear any kind of emotional tension in our mind and body. It combines modern psychology and the principles of acupuncture, an ancient Chinese healing system, to help release stress and emotional conflict of any kind.

What we are doing is tapping certain acupuncture points along the meridians of the body with our fingertips while working on our own problem, specific stress or emotional tension. The goal is to restore the normal functioning of the energy system by stimulating certain energy points.

The tapping technique works with any kind of emotional stress - anxiety, fears, guilt, all kinds of addictions, limiting beliefs that prevent people from creating successful, prosperous lives, as well as physical pain and illness. Any problem that has an emotional basis can be healed with this method.

The fact is that emotions affect every area of ​​our lives. In the process of tapping, we stimulate and excite our nervous system, and bring to the surface hidden deep feelings, subconscious beliefs and programs and release them. It turns out that, using the tapping technique, we solve the problem at its very root.

If we delve into explaining how this technique works, it is important to say this. Any problem in human life begins at the energy level. When we heal, clear the energy system with the tapping technique, we are removing the problem at its root. In addition, the tapping technique breaks the neural connections in the brain that caused a particular painful reaction or type of behavior when a person was faced with a traumatic past experience. As a result of this, a person ceases to react painfully to what used to hurt him.

The body is cleared of traumatic blocks and rejuvenation begins.

Patting different parts of the body is an easy way to improve health and prolong life. it improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles and joints and increases resistance to diseases.

The tapping technique includes the following exercises

Patting on the surface of the head and neck area

Standing or sitting (back straight on a chair), head upright, looking forward, relaxation of the whole body. Raise your hands up and pat your palms on the surface of the head and neck: with the left palm - on the left, with the right - on the right side. First, pat on the neck, moving along the forehead, then in the opposite direction. Repeat 5-8 times. This exercise helps to remove and prevent headaches, dizziness, strengthen memory.

Patting on the chest and neck area

Stand up straight, relax. With your palms half-clenched into a fist, pat: with the left on the right chest area, with the right - on the left area. First from top to bottom, then from bottom to top. 200 times on each side. Then start patting on the back area: with the left hand half-clenched into a fist on the left side of the back, with the right hand on the right. 100 times on each side. This exercise improves blood circulation and promotes the treatment of respiratory and vascular diseases.

Patting on the shoulder area

Sitting (back straight) or standing, pat your right shoulder with your left hand and vice versa. 100 times with each hand. Reduces pain in the shoulder area.

Slapping hands on feet

Tap your right hand on your left leg, your left hand on your right leg. 100-200 times for each. Improves blood circulation in the legs and reduces pain in the hands. Exercise is best done while sitting. When patting your left leg, place your right foot on a small stool so that the muscles of your left leg are completely relaxed. Clap with both hands going down from the hips to the calves and up from the calves to the thighs 200 times. Then switch to the other leg. Also 200 times.

Finally, tap and massage this point on both hands.

Pay attention to the following points

When patting, the body should be completely relaxed, breathing natural, thoughts calm.

The strength of the cotton is uniform, can be gradually increased. The number of pats should be determined by your state of health, but not too small.

Follow the indicated directions of movement: do not allow accidental pats here and there.

Patting can be combined with walking at a slow pace.

Tapping is amazingly easy to learn. Even children can quickly learn it. But to get the best results, to be able to use it effectively for yourself and those you love, you need to keep learning, learning and using it.

Here are five mistakes I see with the Emotional Freedom Technique.

Mistake #1 - Don't use it!

Okay, okay, I know it seems a little obvious… haha. But this is a serious problem, and I am sure that you have encountered it. How often have you looked back at an event, past day, or physical pain and thought, “Why didn’t I tap on that?”

I know I spent half a day with a sore neck from bad sleep before I thought, “Oh! Gotta hit her! 'And I should be Expert and Tapping Guy— how could I forget? 🙂

If you don't know what tapping can do, here's a quick list:

• Pain relief
• Weight loss
• stress reduction
• Turning off depression
• Cleansing resentment
• Autoimmune diseases

The reality is that this Tapping technique is relatively new to all of us. I've been using it while studying, teaching about it for the last 10 years or so. But in the previous 25 years, I didn't know about it, didn't use it, and didn't have that experience. We lived for many years without this technique, especially in childhood.

We just didn't have tapping as a part of our lives and developed a lot of habits that don't involve this technique. If you were taught how to tap as a child and were taught that it is just as important (or even more important!) than brushing your teeth. Then you will now have a different experience and other habits.

So the main reason most of us don't use EFT is because we just forget. There may also be deeper issues with not using it, such as self-sabotage, resistance, fear of change, etc. I will consider them separately in future posts. But for now, it's important to simply acknowledge that when you're not using it, it's often just because you're not thinking about it—and gently and carefully remind yourself to USE THE TAP! 🙂

Here are some tapping scripts to clear some of that resistance and those old habits. Try it now and see how it affects your week.

Karate Point: Even though I haven't tapped as much as I could, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Karate Point: Even though I could make my life easier by tapping on ____________ (fill in the blank on the topic when you didn't tap), I decided to relax and forgive myself for now.
Karate Point: Even though I'm not used to tapping to solve my problems, I decided to start using it andbecome more resourceful and don't forget to use this powerful tool!

Eyebrow Start: I didn't knock
Edge of the Eye: Why not?
Under eye: Am I sabotaging myself?
Under Nose: May be …
Chin: Or maybe I just forgot
Collarbone: Maybe I'm just not used to doing it
At hand: But I can start using it now
On the head: I'm tapping now!

Eyebrow Start: And it's great
Edge of the Eye: I choose to remember
Under eye: about tapping!
Under Nose: I choose to develop this positive habit
Chin: This can help me a lot
Collarbone: It will make my life easier
At hand: And this is the choice I want to make
On the head: I choose when I need it most.

Take a deep breath...

And let it go... Repeat a few times or focus on anything that came up during those short circles.

Okay, now...

Mistake #2 – Lacking Depth and Accuracy

I always encourage people to start with global statements because that's usually the easiest way to start and can get things going in the right direction. What do I mean by global statement? Something in common:

"Even though I'm not happy right now... I deeply and completely love and accept myself."

This statement is global because it is broad and does not focus on a detailed situation.

From there, however, after a round of tapping or two global statements, it's important to be precise.

So in this case, you can go from: "Even if I'm not happy right now..." as the first statement, to "Even though I'm not happy now because my boss was such a jerk today..."

Now you have focused on a specific event that will bring you the best results. The more specific you can be, the better. Which brings us to Mistake #3...

Mistake #3 – Not addressing all “aspects” of the problem

Gary Craig, the founder of TES, was a genius at identifying the importance of "aspects" for getting great results. What is meant by aspects? An aspect is a specific “side” of a problem.

So, in the above case of "Not happy" - we go from the general to the specific: "I'm not happy because my boss was such a jerk", to more specific "aspects".

So, here are some potential aspects in this example:

"I'm not happy because my boss yelled at me." (This is the "audible" aspect of the event)

"I don't like the way he looked at me." (This is one aspect of the experience, "visual cues")

"I felt his words hit me in the stomach." (Here, for example, "feeling of the body")

"I'm worried he'll fire me" ("Future Fear")

“It reminds me of how my father used to talk to me” (“From Childhood”)

“I have never had a good relationship with my bosses” (“Limiting Beliefs/Past Experiences”)

And we could go on and on!

Now, sometimes problems can be handled with global pushes, but the main thing about working on aspects is that you are likely to discover many more things that are going on in your life. And cleaning up that particular experience with your boss could have major implications for a bunch of other things!

For example, you start with experience with your boss. But then you say how your father spoke to you and you heal that relationship problem. After working through this, you get a new, better (and less reactive) experience with your boss.

If you take the time to do it right, it can have profound consequences that last a lifetime.

Which perfectly leads to Mistake #4…

Mistake #4 - Not Tapping Long Enough

This is a mistake that I see in MANY people. They say, "Yeah, I tried rapping about it, it didn't work." And when I ask them how long they have been tapping on this issue, they say a couple of minutes or one or two circles! This is rarely enough.

I see this in particular with physical pain. "Oh, my neck hurt so I rapped, but the pain didn't go away..."

"How long have you been doing this?"

"Two or three minutes."

🙂

1-minute miracles happen, but more often than not, it requires longer tapping.

I'm not saying you have to spend hours on this, but you really should give your tapping on this topic at least 15 minutes of continuous practice. This will help you deal with the problem.

My trick when I tap on something is to set a timer or some kind of signal and I promise I won't stop until 15 minutes. This prevents me from quickly giving up, getting distracted, etc. And finally…

Mistake #5 - Not writing down what you work with

If you are working on your own, it is very helpful to have a pen and paper (or computer) to take notes on what you want to work on or have already worked on. It is important to write down your progress on a scale of 1-10, or write down what goes up and down as you tap.

The last element may be the most important - write down other things that come up. (In the course, this is the most important point - approx. translator and TES trainer)

So, here's what it might look like. You are writing:

“I'm upset with all the bills I received in the mail today. That's a 7 on a scale of 0-10. "

You start tapping, the frustration goes down. But suddenly there is some anger. You write it.

“I’m mad at myself for not working harder this month. At 8".

You tap on it. Relief comes and turns into sadness.

“I am sad that this continues to happen to me. At 5. "

You tap on it.

You will return to the disappointment that you wrote about above. It's 1, you almost don't feel it.

Anger moved to 4. There's still something there, you tap on it further.

As you do this tapping, you are reminded of two events from your childhood.

"That time my father said I would never achieve anything."

"My mother cried because we didn't have enough money."

You record both events because you know you want to consider them separately.

It's like peeling an onion. And while it may seem complicated at first, once you understand the whole process, it's easy. And it becomes even easier when you record everything and keep track of what is happening inside.

Another nice thing about writing down everything that happens before and after tapping is that you can come back to the topic later. there is not always time and energy to tap on everything at once.

Well, here it is! Top 5 mistakes I see people make with tapping and how to solve them!

See you later…

Tapping Trainer's Mistakes Video

The importance of money in the life of a modern person cannot be underestimated. In their absence, people become completely helpless. Think about what you can do with no financial resources at all? It is unlikely that anyone will be able to find such classes. And it's not about excesses. It is impossible to even have breakfast or lunch without money in the modern world.

Someone may remember growing vegetables or fruits, breeding poultry. But wouldn't subsistence farming require money? Even if you do not buy fertilizers, seeds or seedlings, you will still need money, at least to pay the land tax. Such examples can be found in many areas of life. Even what at first glance does not seem to require the availability of finance, upon closer examination, inevitably turns out to be dependent on them to one degree or another.

Why do some swim in wealth, while others vegetate in poverty?

Most people spend their days trying to make as much money as possible. Some get it, while others don't. Why is this happening? Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the thought of the inability of some individuals to manage their earnings. However, it's not just that.

Money, like any other phenomenon, has its own energy. If you watch those who do not lack financial resources, you will find that these people are not so careful in their spending. It’s just that money seems to “stick” to them, no matter how paradoxical it may sound.

The thing is that the energy of these people is consonant with money, that is, they really attract finance. Moreover, this skill is quite possible to learn if it is not given to a person initially. It is not for nothing that in every culture since ancient times various rituals, rituals and other methods of divination have been practiced, aimed at attracting money to a person.

Tapping to attract money - what kind of practice is this?

Those who practice Asian gymnastics, such as wushu or martial arts, are familiar with the concept of energy points. And for those who are far from martial arts, but are passionate about healing or yoga, these points are also known. It is they who need to be influenced by those who wish to attract good luck and wealth.

Tapping to attract money is based on the idea that each of these points is a kind of energy channel that emits a certain vibration. The low level of this vibration is not captured by the energy flows of the surrounding world, that is, those that are outside the human body.

Accordingly, in order to “be heard”, a person needs to strengthen this vibration, activate energy points. In other words, all you have to do is tap certain places on your body. No other human action is required.

Where to look for points that need to be influenced?

The tapping points are mostly concentrated on the face. This makes the practice very convenient to use, for example, it can be combined with morning washing. But not all places that need to be affected are located here.

The first and main point from which tapping should begin is located on the edge of the palm. The vibrational channels on the body and on the top of the head are also important. The point on the head is closing, it is affected at the very end of the practice.

What points are on the face?

Areas of a person's face associated with energy vibration, which attracts well-being and wealth, are:

• the base of the eyebrows, near the bridge of the nose;
• outer corner of the eye;
• the central part under the lower eyelid, perpendicular to the pupil;
• the area between the nose and upper lip, in the middle;
• "dimple" on the chin.

The impact on these areas can be combined with hygiene procedures, or you can do it when applying, removing makeup. Tapping these points will not take much time and will not require any effort. So why not try?

Where to look for the desired point in the palm of your hand?

Tapping to attract money should begin with the activation and strengthening of the vibrational channel located on the edge of the palm. However, this part of the body is not so small. Where to look for the point you need to influence?

The answer to this question is not entirely clear. The area called the “karate point” needs to be affected. Nominally, it is located in the center of the edge of the palm, without taking into account the length of the fingers, of course. However, in fact, each person has its own location. But in any case, this point is located on the edge of the palm, close to its middle.

What are the points on the body?

A practice that allows you to both attract money and good luck into your life, and achieve prosperity and harmony, will not be effective without affecting the points on the body. There are not so many of them - only two.

The first is on the collarbones, next to the "central axis" of the human body. Finding her is easy. The area that needs to be treated is located about a centimeter from the base of the clavicle. Of course, this point is a pair. That is, tapping to attract money should be carried out both on the left and on the right.

The second energy point is located in the armpits. You need to look for it in their lower part, in the center. The point is also a steam room, and both the left and right armpits should be tapped.

Where to look for the last point?

It turns out that attracting money and luck into your life is not so difficult. You just need to practice tapping the right energy points daily. Of course, it is important not only to start this practice correctly, but also to complete it. Without impact on the last "money" point, the lesson will be like playing an unfinished piece of music or reading a story that the author has not completed.

The point that is tapped to end the practice is at the top of the head. Finding its location is very simple, it is the "highest" part of the skull. That is, you do not need to look for a zone for tapping on the crown, it is located further.

What to do?

Having dealt with the location of the points, each person inevitably asks the question of what needs to be done with them. After all, a simple mechanical impact on the desired areas is hardly enough.

The technique of tapping for money is very simple. The points must be tapped in the truest sense of the word. That is, it is necessary not to put pressure on them, not to massage, not to stroke, but to knock, just like, for example, on the door.

Strength and intensity, like speed, can be anything. You should choose the rhythm and effort that will not cause discomfort and will not require tension. When applying this practice, an extremely important point is the ability to feel yourself, your body, both at the physiological and energy levels.

Do I need to say something?

Impact on energy points is often accompanied by the reading of mantras, and the rituals of money magic often require the utterance of various conspiracies. In this regard, a completely logical question arises as to whether it is necessary to say something while tapping the points, carried out to attract wealth and prosperity.

According to many practitioners of this gymnastics, the pronunciation of certain phrases is necessary. It helps a person to concentrate on the desired result, that is, it helps to strengthen the necessary energy vibrations and, accordingly, achieve the result more quickly.

What can be phrases?

There is no single canon for the texts that need to be accompanied by tapping to raise money. You can pronounce both your own phrases and those used by other people practicing this energy gymnastics.

Of course, the spoken phrases must meet a number of conditions. First, they should be simple and understandable. What a person says is a kind of message to the environment, enhancing the effect of his action, determining the direction of the energy flow.

This means that it is impossible to “contaminate the universe” with an abundance of words that do not express anything when acting on energy points. The spoken phrase should be formulated as concisely as possible, accurately and unambiguously reflect the desire of a person and not be ambiguous.

However, it is important to understand that such accompanying texts are not an analogue of prayer or a magical rite. In other words, by saying them, a person does not ask for help from any higher powers, he just "programs" himself to achieve a specific result. That is, in this practice there is no mystical background, tapping is based solely on the use of the capabilities of the human body.

Sample text for tapping practice

Before you start this energy gymnastics, you should deal with your own desires and needs. What does this mean? Only that one should accurately imagine what result should be achieved in the course of applying the practice of tapping. The abstract “I want money” will not work, this is too general a concept.

The spoken text might look like this:

“I am in charge of my life. I accept prosperity. I attract money. I save money. I multiply money. I create wealth."

The pronoun "I" should sound constantly, since it is the key in the texts and phrases that accompany the tapping of energy points. A person thereby attracts energy flows from the environment to himself. The form of the verb is also important. The action should not be expressed either in the future or in the past tense. Attracting money by strengthening one's own energy channels takes place "here and now", this should not be forgotten.

Of course, the text can be long, designed not to accompany the tapping of one point, but for the entire session of energy practice.

An example of a text for those wishing to attract good luck

The practice of tapping helps not only improve your financial situation or increase well-being. It is also used to attract good luck and luck into your life. After all, often a person needs not only income growth, but also success, a quick career, demand, victory in some kind of competition, or something similar.

Of course, the key requirements for spoken phrases do not change. However, their very content will differ from the texts spoken to raise funds.

Those who wish to attract success and good luck will need the following text:

“I am in control of my life. I attract success. I accept other people. I understand the nature of my actions. I define the goal. I get results."

Of course, the text can be long. But its essence will not change depending on the volume.

Does this energy practice have an author?

The author of the technique is considered to be a well-known person in certain circles, whose name is Brad Yates. Who is it? One of the most successful tapping experts. This person not only travels with lectures all over the world, but also for many years has been running his own channel on the YouTube service, where anyone can get acquainted with his energy practices and methods. Of course, in order to understand what Brad Yates is talking about, knowledge of the English language is required.

This man has been tapping for almost ten years. During this time, his techniques have mastered a large number of people around the world. In Russia, they became known not so long ago, however, in our country, Mr. Yates already has a lot of devoted followers.

What is the essence of his work? Tapping is "emotional freedom techniques". That is, this person develops various simple methods by which people can improve the quality of their own lives, gain emotional freedom, harmony and spiritual comfort.

What feedback do those who have tried the practice of tapping leave?

What do people who have tried it think about this technique? Like any other phenomenon, tapping to raise money collects completely different reviews. Some people praise this energy practice, talking about how, doing it, they were able to improve their own lives.

Others, on the contrary, express bewilderment and criticize both the methodology itself and its followers. However, there are very few negative responses, and their content raises a lot of questions. One gets the feeling that some "critics" simply do not understand what exactly they are writing about.

Although, without any doubt, it is worth listening to the feedback of people, you do not need to blindly trust them. Especially in matters related to the activity of the vibration of one's own body and the attraction of certain energy flows from outside. In addition, the practice of tapping is extremely simple and does not require any effort or expense. It only takes 7-10 minutes to do it. So why not try?
