SVADHISTHANA (SEXUALITY CHAKRA)

Our thoughts and emotions shape our lives and our environment. It is important to remember the expression “like attracts like.” And it’s true: negative thoughts attract negative events into our lives, and what we fear, unfortunately, will certainly come true, because we ourselves gave rise to these fears.

And you will change your life! But you just need to want it, you need to have the desire to work on yourself, not stop, and especially not go back!!!

Different people use affirmations in different ways - some read them out loud, others silently, some do it in the morning or even at dawn, others at any time when possible, using every free minute when thoughts are not occupied with various kinds of problems. I would add one limitation to this wide range of possibilities: it is best to practice affirmations during the day, or at least during daylight hours.

The book by Alexander Nikolaevich Medvedev and Irina Borisovna Medvedeva introduces the reader to little-known ancient Chinese methods of healing the body and strengthening the psyche by influencing certain “magic” points - biologically active points of the body used in Chinese acupuncture.

Using magic points, you can not only get rid of a number of ailments, but also influence your character in the desired direction, changing certain characteristics of your personality, for example, strengthen the will, increase mathematical abilities, sexual attractiveness, level of responsibility and consciousness, get rid of the consequences stress, various complexes, indecision, anxiety and fears.

Laboratory studies have shown that hot spots differ in many ways from other areas of the skin. The electrical resistance at biologically active points is almost two times less than at a distance of one or two millimeters from them, and the electrical potential of these points is higher. Also, biologically active points have a higher temperature and increased absorption of ultraviolet radiation. Study biologically active points under a microscope showed the presence of richly innervated vascular plexuses.

Scientific research confirms that exposure to certain active points of the body is accompanied by the release of certain substances in the body. In particular, exposure to the Xuan-zhong point increases the number of multinucleated leukocytes in the blood, which are necessary to fight infectious diseases and quickly heal wounds.

Impact on the Gao-huang point results in an increase and subsequent increase in the number of red blood cells and hemoglobin volume.

When exposed to the Tai-bai point, the number and activity of mononuclear leukocytes increases.

Personality traits such as will, activity or passivity, determination or timidity, authoritarianism or sexual attractiveness depend on the amount and ratio of certain hormones in the body.

By influencing the magic points described in this book, you can achieve a noticeable therapeutic effect in a relatively short time.

Methods of influencing points

According to Chinese philosophy, an invisible subtle energy called “qi” circulates in the human body, as in the entire universe. Qi is the Chinese equivalent of the word "breath". In the Indian esoteric tradition, this energy is called “prana” or “kundalini”.

Qi circulates through human energy channels just as blood circulates through veins. The doctrine of qi and energy channels forms the basis of acupuncture and reflexology.

It is believed that blood circulation through the vessels is also provided by energy. While the energy moves freely through the channels, the blood also moves; When qi stagnates in certain areas of the body, there is also stagnation in the blood vessels of these areas. For this reason, energy and blood in Eastern medicine are compared to an object and its shadow.

As long as the circulation of qi in the body is not disrupted, a person is healthy both mentally and physically. The circulation of energy is affected by many factors - external, internal, natural, social, etc. It is disrupted by climate changes, strong emotions or lack of necessary stress.

Disturbance in the circulation of qi leads to the fact that in some areas there is an excess or lack of energy. A long-term disruption of energy circulation in a certain area leads first to functional disorders in the body, and then to diseases associated with organic disorders in internal organs or parts of the body. By influencing acupuncture points, you regulate the circulation of energy in a particular organ or zone. When energy circulation is normalized, the symptoms of the disease disappear.

Functional disorders are the most treatable. In this case, the symptoms of the disease can be eliminated very quickly, sometimes even in a matter of minutes. By influencing the points you can increase the overall tone of the body, strengthen the immune system and prevent the development of various diseases.

There are three main methods of massage: tonic, soothing and harmonizing.

The tonic method allows you to attract energy to an area of ​​the body that needs its influx or to an internal organ. This method has a stimulating, disinhibiting and exciting effect when motor, sensory or secretory function decreases.

This method is characterized by short, quick and relatively mild irritation, accompanied by a slight pain sensation.

The calming method dissipates “harmful” energy, has an inhibitory, analgesic and desensitizing effect with increased motor, sensitive and secretory functions.

This method is characterized by a gradually increasing intensity of irritation, a long duration of exposure and the appearance at the point of influence of the so-called “intended sensations” in the form of numbness, bloating, aching or passing electric current. The intended sensations can arise not only at the point that is affected, but also spread to the sides from it, sometimes over a considerable distance.

The harmonizing method is a neutral method of influence that strengthens the body's defenses, improves energy circulation and harmonizes the yin and yang of the body.

Tonic techniques are aimed at treating emptiness syndrome, that is, a lack of energy in a zone or point, manifested in decreased sensitivity when it is pressed.

The effect on the area with the toning method is soft, light and superficial. This can be soft and weak superficial pressure; affecting the skin and subcutaneous tissue in circular movements with light pressure on the point up to 50 times per minute; soft, short and light linear ironing with a frequency of 50-100 times per minute; light and fast rhythmic pats from 100 to 200 times per minute, light pinching and shaking of the skin, etc.

Calming techniques are aimed at treating fullness syndrome, that is, at eliminating excess energy in a zone or point, which manifests itself in increased pain in the zone or point when pressed.

The effect on a zone or point with the calming method is longer than with the tonic method. Strong and deep pressure is applied, affecting the subcutaneous tissue, muscles and periosteum. The pressure gradually intensifies from a pleasant sensation to a strong and deep one. Painful sensations during the sedative method should be quite noticeable, but not excessive.

In addition to pressing, deep kneading, rotation with simultaneous pressing, and other techniques that cause intense intended sensations can be used - that is, strong sensations of expansion and heating, bordering on pain.

Harmonizing or neutral techniques are something between a tonic and a calming effect. Pressure and other massage techniques with a harmonizing effect have medium strength and intensity. These massage techniques correspond to the intended sensations of medium strength, accompanied by a pleasant sensation of soft warmth.

It is very important not to forget that depending on the condition of the patient’s body, even when using the same method of influence, the force of influence must be selected individually. Techniques that will have a calming effect in the case of a physically weakened patient with an asthenic constitution, when applied to a strong, athletic person, may not have a calming effect on the point, but, on the contrary, a tonic.

For people of athletic build, engaged primarily in physical work, the impact, as a rule, should be much stronger than for people with mental work.

Sometimes it happens that a strong calming effect has an exciting effect, and light and soft stroking of the point, on the contrary, calms.

People who are starting to practice influencing active points for the first time can, before gaining the necessary experience, use simplified point massage techniques:

With the exciting method, deep pressure with vibration is performed for one minute.

The soothing method involves gentle pressure and clockwise rotation for five minutes.

The harmonizing method is exposure to medium force for two to three minutes.

As you gain experience, carefully listening to the body's reaction to irritation of acupuncture points, you will learn to intuitively determine the nature and strength of the necessary impact on active points.

In addition to the massage effect, you can apply heat to the points. In traditional Chinese medicine, the points are burned with wormwood cones or wormwood cigarettes.

At home, if you cannot buy special wormwood cigarettes, you can use regular cigarettes to warm up the points.

The tonic method - pecking cauterization - consists of holding a smoldering cigarette over the active point, either bringing the end of the cigarette closer or moving away from the point. It is necessary to bring the end of the cigarette close enough to the skin to feel intense heat, but immediately move away from the cigarette so as not to cause a skin burn.

The calming effect - thermal cauterization - consists in the fact that the smoldering tip of the cigarette is stationary above the active point at such a distance that a relatively strong, but not burning heat is felt, so as to prevent a burn from occurring.

The harmonizing method - ironing cauterization - consists of placing the smoldering end of a cigarette over the active point close to the skin, and then moving back and forth over a fairly large surface of the skin. The heat should be noticeable, but such as to prevent burns.

For warming up, it is also convenient to use steel flasks for cognac, shaped like a cigar and have a hemispherical bottom with a diameter of 2–3 centimeters. Water at a temperature of 40 to 60 degrees is poured into the flask. Having wrapped the flask with a rag folded several times to better retain heat, you should attach its bottom to the point on which you are acting.

When warming up, the heat should be intense enough to cause redness of the skin, but without burns. When warming up, a person should not experience excessive pain.

Using a flask, you can also perform pecking (tonic) cauterization. To do this, you need to pour scalding hot water into the flask, wrap it in a rag so as not to burn your hand, then touch the active point with the base of the flask for a split second and immediately remove the flask so as not to cause a burn, touch again, etc. In total, you need to do from 40 to 50 touches.

The water temperature for the harmonizing method of thermal influence should be slightly lower than for the soothing method.

A tonic thermal effect is usually carried out within 2-3 minutes, a harmonizing effect - within 10-15 minutes, a calming effect - within 15-20 minutes.

By carefully monitoring the sensations that arise in the body during exposure to a point, a person, as a rule, can intuitively determine the optimal time and strength of the influence for him. While the impact on the point produces a healing effect, the person experiences a specific feeling of pleasure from the manipulations that he performs, despite the fact that these manipulations may be accompanied by slight pain or some discomfort.

When the impact on the point ceases to be effective, an intuitive feeling arises that it is time to stop it.

For most points, there are periods of the day during which exposure to the points gives the maximum tonic or calming effect. Sometimes the text will indicate best time influence on magic points.

In some cases, to achieve lasting results, the impact on the points should be repeated daily for two to three weeks. If it is necessary to repeat the course, you should take a break of one or two weeks before the repeated course. Some effects on points (for example, effects to relieve pain during painful menstruation) give an immediate effect. In this case, repeated exposures are not required.

It is very useful to accompany the impact on the point with a mental idea of ​​​​the effectiveness of this impact, that it will certainly lead to the desired result.

Finding points

The unit of measurement in which distances are determined when searching for active points is cun, equal in size to the maximum width of the nail phalanx thumb the person on whose body measurements are taken.

The width of the index and middle fingers combined is equal to one and a half tsuns, and the width of the four fingers of the hand combined together (excluding the thumb) is equal to three tsuns.

For greater accuracy in identifying points, you should palpate the area of ​​the approximate location of the point with the tip of your index finger. The points are located, as it were, in a small depression in the tissues, and the sensitivity of the point differs from the sensitivity of the surrounding tissues - pressure on it is either more painful, or, conversely, the sensitivity of the point is noticeably reduced.

Contraindications for acupressure

Despite the fact that acupressure is indicated for both adults and children, there are a number of contraindications listed below.

1. Benign and malignant formations of any localization.
2. Inflammatory diseases with high fever.
3. Blood diseases.
4. Active form of tuberculosis.
5. Organic diseases of the heart and kidneys.
6. A state of acute mental arousal.
7. Pregnancy.
8. Infectious diseases.
9. Age under 2 years and over 75 years.

You cannot perform a massage within an hour after eating or on an empty stomach, while intoxicated, or in areas of moles, warts, tumors, pustules, wounds, skin lesions, burns, etc.

In any case, before using acupressure methods, you should additionally consult your doctor about possible individual contraindications.

Point preventing hereditary diseases and abnormal fetal development

The French physician Georges Soulier de Moran, as a result of his research, was convinced that by acting on the Zhu-bin point (Fig. 1) in pregnant women in the third to sixth months of pregnancy, it is possible to prevent the transmission of maternal diseases or hereditary diseases to the child, and also significantly reduce susceptibility to common diseases.

In particular, Georges Soulier de Moran influenced this point in women with syphilis, and the children born from them had no signs of congenital syphilis. Children born from mothers who were exposed to this point were distinguished by a healthy complexion, in infancy they slept calmly at night and smiled during the day, were much less likely to get sick than ordinary children, and if they did get sick, they recovered faster.

According to de Moran, targeting the Zhu Bin point also prevents miscarriages and prevents pregnancy cramps.

To prevent the transmission of maternal diseases or hereditary diseases to the fetus, it is necessary to have a tonic effect on the Zhu Bin point during the period when the woman is in the third and sixth months of pregnancy.

Toning the Zhu Bin point can be done 1 to 4 times during the third and sixth months, but not more than once a week.

To prevent miscarriage, the effect is also performed using the tonic method, but only if there is a threat of miscarriage.

Any reader can try to adjust any of their negative emotions for a specific situation using the diagram below.

But first, a little theory: There are energy channels in our body, each of them performs specific functions and is associated with a specific emotion, this was empirically calculated by the ancient Chinese. When we experience a negative emotion, a particular channel becomes blocked or the energy in it begins to move slowly.

If you are near negative people or in a geopathogenic zone, your energy system can synchronize with these people or with this place, and energy disturbances will occur in a certain channel or channels. For example, each of us has found ourselves in the following situation: you come to some place, and for no reason at all you are attacked by causeless fear.

What actually happened was that in a certain place your energy system was deformed, which caused certain sensations in the body, and in turn the psyche interpreted these sensations as a certain emotion, in this case fear.

Energy disturbances form sensations, the psyche interprets this as an emotion, and negative emotions form energy disturbances. Since these are reciprocal processes, it is enough to correct the energy system and the psyche will interpret this as a decrease in emotional stress. By the way, people who practice qigong gymnastics do this, and when performing the exercises, as a bonus, they experience positive emotions.

What are reflexes?

This is the nervous system's response to a stimulus. In physiology, reflexes are divided into unconditioned and conditioned. Unconditioned reflexes are realized by the genetic apparatus, for example, no one teaches a newborn child to breathe, suck the mother's breast, and then roll over and crawl. Conditioned reflexes are developed in living beings during learning. Everyone is well aware of the experience of the famous professor I.P. Pavlov, where before each feeding for many days the light was turned on in the room where the dog was kept. And once again, when the light was turned on, the dog began to salivate, although food had not yet been given. The dog developed a conditioned reflex to turn on the light; the dog’s brain connected the event of turning on the light and feeding. They turned on the light - the dog began to salivate, and this did not depend on the desire of the dog itself.

Let's conduct a simple experiment with the reader, imagine that you take a yellow ripe juicy lemon and cut it into four slices, and then you take the juicy pulp of the lemon into your mouth and start chewing, and your entire oral cavity is filled with a pleasant refreshing juice, and you swallow it. Isn't it true that you started salivating profusely?

The nervous system has several levels:

Vegetative– responsible for plant functions of the body - digestion, growth, respiration, etc. (subconscious)

Animal– responsible for instincts – search for food, sexual partner etc. (unconscious)

Human– responsible for intellect, higher emotions (consciousness)

Consciousness is very limited in memory capacity, but very dynamic; the lower levels (unconscious and subconscious) are not limited in memory capacity, but are static. When an action is repeated at the level of consciousness, nervous system in order to free consciousness, it transfers this information to the level of the unconscious - this is how a conditioned reflex is formed. For example, you want to learn how to ride a bicycle - and at first it is very difficult, all the attention of your consciousness is focused on developing effective behavior patterns, but As soon as the conscious mind manages to pick up the key to controlling the bicycle, the information is transferred to the unconscious area and a conditioned reflex is developed.

Thus, the consciousness unloads itself, forcing the deeper structures of the brain to work instead of itself, and you easily and naturally ride a bicycle, and consciousness may be doing something else at this moment, for example, to enjoy the picturesque area through which you are passing at that moment. This is great when it comes to positive gains for our lives, but sometimes we acquire conditioned reflexes that carry within them negative traits for the body, and then we react to events not the way we would like, but excessively, not rationally.

Who among us hasn't been in a situation where you react violently and then deeply regret something you said or did. At that ill-fated moment you could not restrain yourself, It’s as if your mind has been turned off. It’s simple, you once developed, by analogy with the situation with a bicycle, a conditioned reflex to a certain stimulus, in this case a pathological one for your life. The conditioned reflex is implemented in such a way that a very specific response occurs to a specific stimulus; this can be a reaction to an event or situation. Consciousness has the ability not to show the manifestations of a pathological conditioned reflex, but sometimes it does not have time to control it, and this depends on the strength of the stimulus or on the activity of the reflex. As a rule, a conditioned reflex that is pathological for you is developed in childhood, for example, in certain situations you were offended, and you developed a conditioned reflex. This conditioned reflex is transferred to your adult life, And when you find yourself in a similar situation, you again have those unpleasant feelings that you experienced as a child and the same reaction.

At that moment, this reflex, quite possibly, was important for you, for your survival, but in adulthood it does not carry anything constructive, only the destruction of you and the world around you. And it is quite logical to transform a child’s behavior pattern into an adult one, but, unfortunately, you won’t be able to do it that easily; the deep structures of the brain stubbornly do not want to part with the old behavior patterns that once helped you survive. But using the following technique, it is possible to transform a pathological conditioned reflex very quickly:

Basic technique

You need to remember the situation where you experienced unpleasant feelings and find the name of the emotion on the diagram. Each emotion has a number that corresponds to a point on the body that you have to work with.

The technique consists of two stages, in each of which you have to work with the same situation that you have chosen. At the first stage, you will cleanse energy channels; you will need to tap certain points, pronouncing affirmations. At the second stage, you will transform the pathological conditioned reflex that you developed at a certain period of your life into the version that you want to have.

Correction stages

I. Channel correction

You need to subjectively evaluate the unpleasant sensations that arise when remembering a situation that worries you on a 10-point scale, where 0 is the absence of unpleasant sensations, and 10 is the maximum level.

It is necessary to remember the situation that worries you, remembering it should be unpleasant; you need to rate how unpleasant it is for you to remember on a 10-point scale, where 0 is the absence of unpleasant sensations, and 10 is the maximum level.

It is very important to understand that you must evaluate the discomfort, not the importance of the situation. For example, the dollar exchange rate jumped by 2 times and the importance of this event for any person on a 10-point scale is 10 points, but when you remember this fact, you may not care, i.e. There may be no unpleasant sensations, which will correspond to 0 points.

Continuing to remember the unpleasant sensations that arise when remembering a specific situation, you need to tap on selected points while simultaneously reciting affirmations that correspond to this point.

Universal affirmation to any of the points:“I love and accept myself along with my... (for example, fear or any other emotion), in fact deep level, from the very first time I experienced... (for example, fear or any other emotion). And now I choose to let go of my... (for example, fear or any other emotion) and choose happiness, love, joy, harmony, security.” Take a deep breath through your nose and exhale deeply through your mouth.

Tap on the 13 points, saying the words: “I love and accept myself, even if I lost my energy, on the deepest level, from the very first time I lost it. And now I choose to take back my energy." Take a deep breath through your nose and exhale deeply through your mouth.

Then the patient recalls the unpleasant situation again and assesses the unpleasant sensations on a 10-point scale. As a rule, the degree of discomfort decreases. Tapping and speaking affirmations is carried out until the level of unpleasant sensations when remembering it decreases to 0-1 points. As soon as the level drops to 0-1 points, move on to the next stage.

II. Transformation of the conditioned reflex

A little more theory. An example can be given from life: everyone has taken exams at some point, but if you were overexcited, then you suddenly noticed that you forgot everything you studied before the exam. But as soon as you calmed down, your memory began to work wonders, you not only remembered what you had taught, but also what you had seen or heard somewhere in passing on this topic.

Stress can both stimulate the cerebral cortex and suppress its functions, it all depends on the level of stress. If stress exceeds the brain's ability to adapt, the cerebral cortex goes into an energy-saving mode and stops working to ensure memory function. If you try to use the cerebral cortex to extract information from it on a certain topic, then you will not succeed until the stress level decreases and the brain returns to normal functioning.

Therefore, in the most difficult situation, feeling calm, confident, and protected is much more beneficial than being in a state of panic or passion. Because in a calm state you can find an effective solution and get out of the current situation with minimal losses, which cannot be said about the case when you are in an unbalanced state, because in this case the cerebral cortex works in reduced power mode, and it is impossible to find the optimal solution .

Since you are in the here and now, you can imagine anything in your imagination, so you need to:

Remember a specific unpleasant situation. In that situation, imagine how you would like to feel there. There is no need to change anything in the situation. The reference option is calm, confidence, security. Maintain this positive image throughout the entire subsequent procedure: simultaneously stimulate both points No. 6 with your left hand, and point No. 14 on your left hand with your right hand.

Simultaneously:

• close eyes,
• open eyes,
• look down to the left, then down to the right,
• make a large circle with your eyes clockwise and back,
• quickly move your eyes 10 times from left to right and back,
• slowly raise your eyes from bottom to top,
• count backwards from 53 to 41 or perform any arithmetic operation,
• play any music to yourself,
• recall different colors, smells, tastes,

breathing: inhale deeply, then inhale even more, exhale halfway (quickly), exhale completely, exhale even more. Breathe normally (3 inhale-exhale cycles).

Essentially, you need to create a positive image of how you want to feel in a situation that is negative for you, and in this way “remagnetize” the areas of the brain where the pathological conditioned reflex lies into the form you need. With different actions you activate different parts of the brain (remembering different colors - the occipital cortex, arithmetic operations - the left hemisphere, remembering music - the right hemisphere, etc.)Repeat the technique 3-8 times a day for 2 weeks.published

Anyone who has ever done EFT knows that from the outside it looks pretty stupid. However, it works. This technique is so far from the way most of us are used to solving problems that some people are not entirely comfortable using it.

Our education system focuses on left-brain thinking, verbal, analytical thinking, while the right brain, which is responsible for emotion and creativity, is often neglected. The right hemisphere thinks in symbols and images, and therefore does not speak a language in which it could argue with the dictatorship of the left hemisphere. This is probably why our emotions can seem illogical and cause anxiety.

Battle inside the brain

At any given moment in time, we can only use one type of thinking. Is our consciousness cannot perceive information from both hemispheres of the brain at once, but can switch between them very quickly.

Modern, Western education usually teaches us that in the battle of the hemispheres of the brain, the left hemisphere always wins. This means that we often end up losing out because the practical left hemisphere suppresses the impulsive right hemisphere.

It is becoming increasingly clear that we need to use both sides of the brain equally to live a balanced life and reach our full potential. This means that it will be advisable to think holistically. Which brings us to the 9 Gamma Method.

Method 9 Gamma looks even more stupid than the tapping sequence, and in Lately it has not received much attention, but it performs one very useful function. It connects the hemispheres of the brain. Its use requires just 10 seconds, and you can use it during a tapping sequence to increase the effectiveness of EFT, or to get the ball rolling when you're not making progress.

With simple, basic instructions, you can begin tapping your way to better health, higher self-esteem, abundance, and a calmer mental attitude right now.

These are simple, pleasant and effective exercises, and the results can be seen almost instantly. Just lightly tap the meridian points with your fingertips, while verbally formulating the problem. As you tap, repeat the affirmation to change your mindset, visualize your desired outcome, and overcome limiting beliefs in minutes. Yes, it's that simple!

Tapping can be used anytime, anywhere – for quick self-programming in any area of ​​your life in which you want to achieve a breakthrough.

5 Step Tapping Method

Through her experience as a clinical hypnotherapist, Carol has developed her own 5-step algorithm for performing the tapping technique to achieve powerful and lasting results in less time:

With her method, you can always find the sources of your fears and effectively get rid of them through tapping - even if you have never done tapping before.

In short, the 5-step tapping method is as follows:

STEP 1 – Select a target for EFT – an emotion, block, belief or abundance issue.

STEP 2 – Rate the degree of discomfort this feeling, belief, or abundance issue brings on a scale of 0 to 10 (0 = no discomfort, 10 = severe discomfort), or simply describe how you feel.

STEP 3 – Continuously tap the karate point on either hand while repeating the INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT corresponding to the abundance issue being addressed.

The INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT expresses the purpose and also contains an affirmation. Example of an INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT: “Even though I have blocks related to money, I fully accept myself.”

STEP 4 – End each exercise with a slow, deep breath to encourage the flow of energy in your body.

For today's lesson, we'll look at how you can use this 5-step method to replace fears that are working against you with beliefs that empower you!

Step-by-step tips for beginners

Verbal commands (affirmations) are pronounced simultaneously with light tapping of the meridian points with your fingertips. Stimulation of these Chinese acupuncture points in conjunction with psychological techniques helps to get rid of blocks in thoughts and their physical manifestations.

This is an incredibly effective technique because it goes to the source of the fears. Often this is enough to get rid of fear. A combination of tapping and verbal commands will relieve even the most stubborn fears.

What fears should I start with?

Many of us have fears in various areas of life: fear of rejection, fear of loneliness, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of pain, fear of poverty, etc. Where to start?

Usually (and this may not be true for you personally) a person's greatest fear is not being good enough, being a victim of failure, or being rejected.

Simply choose an area of ​​your life in which you are struggling (finances, health, relationships, or career/purpose) and focus on that area. When you target one specific area, it teaches you not to tackle multiple problems at once. Some fears can be related to several areas at once (for example, the fear of not being good enough can manifest itself in all four areas) and by eliminating this fear in one area, you automatically improve the situation in others.

Subsequence

First, say the “capital affirmation” while doing the tapping. The title statement defines the problem and contains the seed of its solution. While tapping the karate point on each hand, say the title statement in full.

Then perform a “negative tapping sequence” - when the current situation is clearly described and the source of fear is found. Starting at the eyebrow point, tap each of the sequence of 8 points. Tap each point approximately 7-10 times, while repeating the negative reminder given for this type of problem

.Tap:

• eyebrow
• near the eyebrow
• under the eye
• under your nose
• chin
• collarbone
• at hand
• top of the head

At the same time, it is important to focus your consciousness on the negative thinking patterns that cause any problem in your life. You let go of negative thought patterns by becoming aware of them and realizing that they are not doing you any good, but they have been a part of your life for a while.

After the sequence of negative tapping, you need to tap each meridian point 7-10 times, while simultaneously repeating different phrases for different points.

A positive reminder is provided for each of the 8 points. Starting again at the eyebrow point, tap each point approximately 7-10 times, repeating a different phrase each time for each of the 8 indicated tapping points.

The exercise ends with a deep breath to help the energy spread throughout your body. You may feel incredible relief - instantly or within minutes. You may feel physical discomfort for a while as emotional toxins are being flushed out of your body. You may feel elated or sad. Whatever feelings you have, this is normal - this is the reaction of the body and mind to the use of the technique.

In many cases, one session will help with multiple problems. Even the most persistent beliefs and the most malignant phobias can be eliminated in a matter of minutes. Some complex fears may take longer to resolve because they may consist of several unrelated fears, each of which needs to be addressed.

You will experience an extraordinary surge of motivation as you instantly feel the impact of tapping, and that impact will be expressed in your actions and words!

Briefly about 9 Gammas

Start with a regular tapping circle. Next, find the Gamma point, which is on the outside of your left palm, about an inch below the area between your little and ring fingers. Lightly tap this point and focus on the problem by doing the following (without moving your head):

• close your eyes
• Open your eyes
• Direct your gaze to one point in the lower right
• Direct your gaze to one point in the lower left
• Move your eyes clockwise
• Move your eyes counterclockwise
• Hum any tune for a few seconds (for example, “happy birthday to you”)
• Now count out loud from 1 to 5
• Hum for a few more seconds
• Perform the tapping circle again.

The first time I did this procedure, I felt incredibly stupid. And only then did I find out what all this was for. The eyes are directly connected to the brain by the optic nerve, and humming and counting are used to engage the right and left hemispheres respectively.

Throughout the exercise, you switch back and forth between the left and right hemispheres. When you use this simple technique in conjunction with meridian tapping, it can stimulate your brain - like shifting it to the next gear. You can also access your hidden memories using this technique.
