Hey all,
Here I am blogging again about this whole diet thing. LOL I have learned a LOT of things this past week about myself.
First– it is hard to change your eating habits when you are inundated with party after party after get together. However, it is NOT impossible. Yes, I ate a few more things than I should have, but all-in-all I have done great, and I pat myself on the back for that! You have to learn to take success a little at a time sometimes.
Second – My metabolism is totally shot. I started asking myself how much of a percentage my metabolism was working at. It was at 4%! AUGH!!!! No wonder I have a hard time losing weight. At least I have an excuse now. So, this is going to be one of the first things I do with this program. I am going to check metabolisms and what percentage they are working at. I released the blocks (all of the emotional of course) and then fixed it so it is now at 100%. YEAH! Isn’t psychological acupressure wonderful!
Third – I have total lack of control of my eating habits, and had no desire to do anything about it. When I first started this, I was struggling with giving up just eating what I wanted. So, I tapped it out, of course. I went into my core this time – this is a new thing I have just recently learned and put into practice with my clients. Clearing emotions out in the core means you can clear them from your ENTIRE body! Then if you check a week from now and find that you have it again, you can check back and find the trigger and release it, so you stop triggering. This was a phenomenal find for me. When I released that “lack of control” I have actually had an easier time with changing my eating habits. I am not struggling with it. So, this was a fantastic thing and I will be incorporating this into my regimen as well.
I have been drinking the drink to bring my body to a good pH and have actually found it to be quite satisfying. It is just like tasting minty water. Not bad at all. It is not thick or anything like that and it is just like drinking your water. I have found it to be satisfying as well.
I have also learned a lot about dehydration and what that does to your body. If you feel bloated, that is a sign of dehydration. If you are depleted, your body holds onto all the water it can, thus you bloat. So, making sure I drink enough is a big deal. I feel like I am drinking all the time, but I also feel better and my dry throat has gone away as well. It’s amazing what water can do!
So, now you have all the dirt on me. No, I have not been perfect, but yes, I am making headway. I will be finishing up that metabolism test and then finding out what kind of metabolism I am and then blog about it next.
Hope your Christmas is a Merry one!
Hugs to all,

A New Weight Loss Plan
Hey all,
Time to blog again! However, I am very excited to blog about this new program and my experiences with it. My problem has been that most diet systems are a one size fits all type of program. I have failed at so many as my metabolism is just totally shot from all the medications I had been on for so many years with my fibromyalgia. Now that I am fibro free and free of all medications, I have lost 50 lbs with the emotional releases and clearing out that kind of baggage, but I am STUCK!
I was very excited when Jed from Thin & Healthy put me on his program and lost over 7 lbs in the few weeks I was on it, but then he had to close down and I had to stop that program. I then met Dr. Laurie Patterson who has a great nutrition background and a product called Liv Sxinney that actually gets your body into a good pH balance so that you can lose weight; however, that is only a part of weight loss, we needed to put together a WHOLE PACKAGE!!!
So, here is how it goes so far. I will be starting on the Liv Sxinney product tomorrow and testing it out. However, this product is only for those of you who want a jump start to your weight loss, and is an added feature if you want it. I am going to see how effective it is in the next few weeks and will blog on how easy or hard it is to follow. The program is a six-week program and can be done over the phone so people outside of Utah can do this, just as much as those inside Utah.
As this is a program that is not suited for everyone, as some just need a few pounds to lose or really do not want to change their eating habits, we have a requirement of an interview to see if you are ready for this program, or if this is really what you need. After we interview you and see that our desires fit your desires, then we set up time for you to meet with both Dr. Patterson and I just prior to starting the program, and send you a packet with all your info and a questionnaire to determine what type of metabolism you have, so we know what kinds of foods are best for you to eat and how your body will metabolize it.
Dr. Patterson’s first visit will consist of analyzing that questionnaire for you and helping you to understand what type of program you should be put on based upon your metabolism. You will then be given the opportunity to purchase the Liv Sxinney product if you want a quick jump start, or to just start on the metabolism program right away. She will then explain it all, coach you in how to begin, and answer any questions you have about how your body works in relation to food and what you should be eating. It is your own private consultation.
As far as I am concerned, if you are a brand new client, my first session will consist of clearing out the negative energy and creating that safety in your mind/body connection. Then I will release any fears you have about starting, weighing in, measuring yourself, etc. If you are a past client, we will then focus on your fears about weight loss and your original memories regarding your weight and how you view yourself. We will also do some motivation tapping to get you ready and excited to begin your program.
The next step would then be starting your program. After experiencing it for a few days, I will then meet with you a second time and we will clear out allergies to wheat/gluten, etc. I will reset your weight point, and we will tap out leptin, cytokinin, cortisol, and hormonal imbalances and their noncommunication with the hypothalamus, which is where your body determines how much fat you should have on your body. We will also address any emotional problems with the diet, cravings, and fears.
As part of this first week, we will also be starting our weekly support group. This weekly support group will consist of training, as well as tapping in a group setting. The training we will do in these support groups is on the “Emotions of Nutrition.” Each week we will address things like how you are living and how that affects your eating; individualized nutrition and how to think about eating in general, how to maximize nutrition, etc.; energizing yourself and how to do this, how to refill your energy level, how to deal with relationships and stress in regards to weight loss; thinking well and how to calm down, get rid of negative thoughts, how you use food, think about food, or use food to numb yourself, etc.; and finally your support system. Each week we will present info, give you homework to do over the week, and help you set baby set goals to assist you moving forward each week, no matter what level you are on. We will be doing a lot of group tapping at these group meetings.
In the second week, Dr. Patterson will then meet with you again in follow up to answer questions you have about the nutrition end of things and ideas on how to maximize your diet. At this point, I will continue my sessions with you, but at half-hour increments instead of hour ones, and hopefully we will be adding a personal trainer to the mix soon and have this as part of the package.
So, we address the emotional problems, nutrition problems, metabolism problems, exercise problems, and give you a very well rounded, individualized program that anyone can do. I think it will be absolutely AMAZING!!!!
So, stay tuned to here while I try this program out for myself. I think if I can lose on this program through the Holidays …. Then ANYONE can!!!!!
Hugs,
Karen

It's the Holidays!
Wow, it's that time of year again. For me the Holidays are wonderful. I truly enjoy being with my family and having my children around enjoying just being together. However, there are stresses that affect the Holidays and even affect me during them as well.
For me, my biggest stressor is being single. It is so much fun to have someone to snuggle with by the fire. :) Singles, for whatever reason, even widows and widowers, face lonely times during the time of year where being together with families is highlighted and your family is minus a member. Other stressors for me include just the overwhelming things you have to do during the Holidays. All of the work parties, Church parties, regular parties, finding time to shop, wrap, decorate, etc. It can be very overwhelming.
The thing to remember in all of this is to tap out those stressors before they become big problems like stomach aches, migraines, leg pains, backaches, etc. Emotional stresses can become very physical pains if we let them. So, make sure you tap out all of these emotional problems before they get that way. Look at my article under Habit Breakers on Holiday Blues and see how to do this.
My hope in you doing this is that you will find some measure of JOY in your Holidays this year and that your stress level is manageable, so that you can enjoy them.
As this is also the season to serve and help others, I am in my tradition also offering free classes on clearing Holiday Blues and tapping out fears of being single and alone during the Holidays this month and next month will be doing one specifically for Vets and their loved ones. If any of you know people in this situation, let them know about this and I would love to have them along.
I wish you the most wonderful Thanksgiving and joyous time with your family this year.
Hugs to all,
Karen

Holiday Blues and Everyday Stress
How to use acupressure to tap in healing!
Ways to Tap In Help
The Clearing Cure
Are you dreading the Holidays? Do the names Christmas and Thanksgiving create stress just by the mere mention of the names? To some the Holidays bring up issues with family, having to be around them, having to get along, meeting new people, in-laws, deaths of loved ones, etc. To others it’s the loneliness and not having anyone to enjoy it with. Then to others it is the money situation, dealing with buying gifts, too many parties, too much to do, etc. Any way you look at it, the Holidays can create stress and depression.
Some of the situations above can also create emotions that are called “limiting beliefs.” These are beliefs that keep us stuck in a cycle. Most of these thought processes or beliefs are ones that lie deep in our subconscious, only rearing their ugly head when we attempt to move past them, or when they are triggered like during the Holiday period. They are very powerful beliefs. Some of these beliefs would be things like, “I will never have enough time to accomplish everything,” “I will never be happy without someone to spend the Holidays with,” “my in-laws will never understand me,””I will never be happy again during the Holidays since my husband died,” and “I hate parties, I’m just not a party person.”
Whether you are confronting “limiting beliefs” or just dealing with the stress of the situation, acupressure can help; however, they can be dealt with in two separate ways. One is using techniques like psychological acupressure to clear out trauma, beliefs, loneliness, etc., and one is more designed to just boost you through emotional times, limiting the stress response in the body and enabling you to get through some stressful moments. I would like to address the stressful situations first.
There are several acupressure points that are designed specifically to deal with stress. The kind of stress is what is important to identify. There are usually five categories of stress to identify. One is the “garbage” stress where you have a swallowed negative emotion. Something that is just useless stress, like saying something stupid and you can’t get it out of your mind. The second kind of stress is familial stress. This also includes people you have taken into your emotional family. The third kind of stress is empathy stress. This is where you try to share someone else’s burden, such as parents with sick children, doctors with patients, a husband taking on his wife’s emotions, etc. The fourth kind of stress is dumped stress, where customers/neighbors, etc dump their emotions on your shoulders and you assume them. The fifth kind of stress is very similar to the dumped stress, but is a family dumped stress, dealing specifically with family.
After identifying which kind of stress you are dealing with, you now are ready to tap out some of that stress. When using acupressure points, you simply tap on the point using two to three fingers and stimulate the meridian underneath it. Meridians are like the veins and arteries of your energy system. They go throughout your whole body and carry an energetic current. Where they come to the surface is what is called an acupressure point and is where you tap.
The points to tap for the stress of garbage that are useless negative emotions that we carry with us, are the xiphoid, glabella, and then your forehead. You tap the xiphoid process six to seven times, which is the end of the sternum where your ribs end, the pointy part, and then tap the glabella, which is in-between your eyebrows six or seven times, and then hold your emotional trigger points for 20 seconds. These points lie in the middle of your forehead just above your eyes. You take two fingers and hold those two points above your eyes for 10-20 seconds.
The other points are all very similar. For familial stress you tap on the xiphoid process six or seven times, and then the liver point, which is right under the right breast, tap this point using the edge of your hand six or seven times, and then the glabella (in-between the eyes) six or seven times. Then hold the emotional trigger points on your forehead for 10-20 seconds as well.
The empathy points are the end of the xiphoid and the third eye point, which is middle of the forehead, and then holding the emotional correction points in the middle of the forehead for 10-20 seconds. Dumped emotional points are the xiphoid, the spleen point, which is under the left breast just to the left of the line of the nipple and in line with the xiphoid, your third eye point, as above, and then holding the emotional corrections points on your forehead for 10-20 seconds. Family dumped is the xiphoid, the spleen, the liver, third eye point, and then emotional correction points for 10-20 seconds. Remember to tap each point six to seven times and hold the emotional correction points for 10-20 seconds.
So, what do you do now for the trauma, and limiting beliefs. If some of the questions above triggered a response and you would like to get past that, then let me introduce you to the new world of “psychological acupressure.” Acupressure itself is known worldwide for targeting blocks in our energy system and clearing that point, thus enabling the energy to flow freely and allowing our body to heal itself. Psychological acupressure is the same concept, only it begins with the belief that emotions have an energetic charge and get stuck somewhere in our body. Stress causes physical problems. Emotional trauma causes physical problems. So, just take it one step further now: limiting beliefs cause an emotional block that keeps us mired in its clutches. The subconscious mind is very powerful and can override conscious thoughts.
So, even though just the title of psychological acupressure can be intimidating, let me give you an introductory lesson on how you can clear these blocks on your own and move past some of these beliefs that are keeping you bogged down.
First of all, you need to do “the reversal.” This is … to reverse the energy system so that it is in line with what you want to do. Another word for it is “will power.” When you feel like you have no will power, it is usually your subconscious overpowering your conscious thoughts and a reversal is what can bring it in sync. It is very simple to do. You simply tap continuously at your karate chop and make the statement: “Even though I don’t want to get over this (whatever emotion you are feeling. i.e. fear, depression, sadness, etc.), I’m okay.” You only do this ONE time at your karate chop point, which is the edge of your hand that hits the board when doing a karate chop, and that is all you do. If you tell your body you do not want something, it reverses your energy so you do. Simplistic approach, but very effective.
So now that we are reversed and our energy is in sync, let’s take a moment to sit down and relax, and take a few minutes to assess where we are in our life and what emotions you are truly feeling. What sentences above triggered a response in us? What emotional traumas do we have? These are the things we need to release. We do this the same way we did the reversal, but with a different set-up statement. These set-up statements would be something like this: “Even though I have overwhelming sadness depressing my whole body, I deeply and completely accept myself,” or “Even though I have this memory of my husband dying during the Holidays three years ago and it feels me with so much sadness, I deeply and completely accept myself,” or “Even though I hate facing my family each year because it fills me with so much anger, I deeply and completely accept myself.” These are just examples of some of the ways to make these statements. You tap continuously while making these statements three times at your karate chop point. Then at each acupressure point, i.e., inner eyebrow, outer eyebrow, under eye, under nose, on chin, collarbone, and under the arm, make the negative part of the statement, i.e. “I am filled with sadness,” “I am so depressed over my husband’s death,” or “I hate being around my family.” Finish all of these statements by tapping continuously on the top of the head while making the statement, “I choose to release these past emotions.”
That is how we clear that limiting thought process. However, as you clear a sentence, pay attention to what you are thinking. If you are clearing the fact that you hate being around your family, and a memory pops into your brain, you need to clear that memory the same way you just cleared the belief. Your body is amazing at how it will bring up issues relating to what you are clearing, but you just need to listen and pay attention to what you are thinking.
So, you are now EMPOWERED with a tool that can change the Holidays forever. The positive energy you send out is what you draw to you. You can, however, choose to tap, or not to tap, but I have now given you the key. The next step is yours.

October Special
I wanted to let you know about a wonderful new technique I am doing. In the past two months, I have learned a new process on releasing the darkness in the mind and in the body. It also involves doing some therapy with the right and left brain, and clearing out memories there. However, in the process of doing this, I have found that in clearing this out the subconscious mind becomes amazingly reversed. All of you who have been clients know I struggle with this on an ongoing basis. I have had each of you doing reversals over and over and over and over…..until you are sick of them. LOL Now, with this new technique, you stay reversed in almost everything on a constant basis and it allows your body to heal on its own. We still go in and clear out emotions surrounding organs, etc., but no reversals are needed, you consciously and subconsciously want this to occur. It has been absolutely AMAZING!
Anyway, I would love all of you to be able to experience this for yourselves and for those of my clients who have already done this, I am offering this special to you, too. This technique can be done over the phone, just as much as in person, so anyone inside Utah or not can take advantage of this.
This technique takes about 30-45 minutes and usually a session for 40 minutes is $50.00, and an hour $75.00. So, I am offering a 40 minute session for each person who would like to do this (client or otherwise) for the next two weeks only, until the end of October, at half price and have a 40 minute sessino for $25.00. If you add the next 20 minutes on and want a full hour session, I will offer that at an extra $10.00 equally $35.00 for the session. This is the lowest price for a session I have had since beginning my practice. Each person may only purchase a one-hour session for that price. If you have done this procedure with me already, then you may use that hour for whatever you like. If you have not, I will do this technique on you first and then any additional time can be spent healing other areas of your body or mind.
So, if you wish to take advantage of this special, email me at mycoach4u@theclearingcure.com or call me at 801-967-5113 and we will schedule you in. This has been so amazing for so many of my clients, I cannot stress how important I feel this is for all of you to experience! Just make sure you do this before the end of the month, even if we have to schedule this in after October, you must CALL me during October to get the special price.
I hope all of you are doing wonderful!
Hugs to all,
Karen

Emotions and Diabetes
Ways to Tap In Help
The Clearing Cure
To most people, emotions and diabetes are two things that are not usually associated with each other. Whether you have juvenile diabetes, adult onset diabetes, type I diabetes, or type II diabetes, emotions or trauma questions do not usually come up when visiting with a doctor. The methods of choice for “maintaining” this disease are drugs and a few diet modifications.
One of the biggest mistakes that I believe doctors make in relation to diabetes is their failure to emphasize strongly enough the “diet” part. Type II diabetes is one that can be totally corrected with a good diabetic diet and proper exercise. However, this can still be an ongoing problem with people, as getting rid of sugar, most grains, and processed foods from your diet is a very difficult thing to do, although many have done this and reaped the rewards of reversing their diabetes entirely. Diet can even control gestational diabetes in pregnant mothers, if you can get past the food cravings and morning sickness.
There is also a study out that has shown black tea to be of help for diabetics. The polysaccharides in black tea and some green teas have been shown to benefit people because they help retard the absorption of glucose.
I could go on and on about studies being done to help those with diabetes. I could even get more into the “why” or “how” you get this disease, but, for this article, we are going to concentrate on the relationship of emotions to diabetes.
So, what do emotions have to do with diabetes?
Whenever you experience a trauma, or an emotionally charged event, those emotions attached themselves to some part of your body—and usually at its weakest point. If diabetes runs in your family, then a trauma or emotionally charged event could trigger the diabetes. If your kidneys are “weak,” those emotions will attach themselves to that area, suppressing the kidneys ability to function at full capacity. If the emotion is triggered again and again over the years, it will continue to affect the function of the kidneys, which will then lead, at some point, to the diagnosis of diabetes.
There are also emotions that seem to be drawn more to the kidneys than other parts of the body. In fact, there are several books on the market that point out what these emotions are. My personal favorite is Karol Truman’s book, Feelings Buried Alive Never Die. In this book, she carefully documents the emotions she has found to be prevalent in the kidneys. These emotions are ones of judging yourself or others severely; being disappointed in life; having ongoing feelings of sorrow; dealing with emotional shock; feeling a complete lack of joy in your life; believing that life should have been different; being obsessed with wanting to control everyone and everything; and being ashamed of something you did in the past.
So, having documented all of these emotions, does that mean someone with diabetes has all of these? No. Each person is different. One person may react to some of the emotions stated above and find that it really fits them; another person may respond completely differently. However, in my research, I have found that diabetics do react to at least one or two of these emotions and thus have that emotion buried quite deep inside, repressing it into the kidneys, which then suppresses its functioning capabilities.
With that being said, how do you fix the problem? How do you free the kidneys from the suppressed emotions?
One way is with psychological acupressure. This is an extremely effective tool for clearing out emotional baggage attached to specific organs. This is a tool that can also correct other things in relation to the diabetes, not just the emotions suppressing the kidneys. Diabetes is not just a problem of sugars. It is also a problem of how your leptin and insulin signal each other. Psychological acupressure can also be used in this area—to ask your body to correct this problem. You can also correct allergies with this process. Most diabetics are allergic to their own insulin and leptin, thus clearing this allergy can allow your body to regulate them more effectively.
Let’s take just one example of how to tap out these emotions from your kidneys. Take the emotion of being ashamed of something you did in the past. You would first start with the reversal to make sure your subconscious is okay with your releasing it from your body. To do this, you simply apply a little bit of reverse psychology, hence the term “reversal.” You take the karate chop area on your body (the side of your hand that connects with the board when doing a karate chop) and using two fingers of your opposite hand you tap continuously on this point while making a statement. This statement consists of an “even though I don’t want to do this” part, and an “I’m okay” part. You state, “Even though I don’t want to give up being ashamed for all these things in my past, I’m okay.” That’s it. Just one time and you are reversed.
This actually must be done prior to clearing any memories or emotions, as the subconscious will not allow you to release it if it feels you are not safe or protected. Telling your subconscious that you don’t want to give this up, but that you are okay even if you do, is the reverse psychology statement and allows the subconscious to be okay with your releasing this energy.
When a person tells me that he/she has no will power, or just can’t find the desire to motivate himself/herself to do something, it tells me that he/she is working against his/her subconscious and needs to reverse it in order to have that power to do what he/she needs to do. If you think about the subconscious as a mega computer that processes everything, and your conscious state is a small desk model, then you can see how trying to overpower that mega computer could be a hard thing to do. A reversal simply makes sure that both the conscious and subconscious minds are in sync.
After doing the reversal, you are now ready to clear out the emotion. This is the same kind of setup, but you make the statement without using the word “don’t” in there, as you have already reversed it. The statement would consist of something like this, “Even though I am so ashamed of things I have done in my past, and this is living in my kidneys, causing it to not function properly, I deeply and completely accept myself.” This time, however, you are going to make that statement three times while continuously tapping on your karate chop point.
Then, you continue this process by going through the EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) set up by taking two fingers and tapping on the inside corner of your eye and making the statement, “I am ashamed of all of the things from my past.” You then continue making this same statement at each of the points, i.e., outside corner of the eyebrow, under the eye, under the nose, on the chin, on the collarbone point, and, finally, under the arm. You then tap on the crown of your head and make a positive statement such as "I choose to let this feeling release from my body.”
As you do this, really listen to your mind and write down any memories that might come up of your being ashamed of something you did. Then, using this same technique, clear out each of these memories from your kidneys. As you release these emotions, it allows your kidneys to begin to function properly again, thus enabling your body to handle sugars more effectively.
So, you are now EMPOWERED with a tool that can change your life. The positive energy you send out is what you draw to you. You can, however, choose to tap, or not to tap, but I have now given you the key. The next step is yours.

The Motivation Mind Game
Ways to Tap In Help
The Clearing Cure
Do you ever FEEL like it is an uphill battle just to get your butt out of bed and out the door in the morning? Does the word “workout” bring on a feeling of dread and emotional trauma? Do you ever feel like you have no energy—and it’s only noon? Do you feel POWERLESS in your life on how to affect a change? If so, how many times have you heard this same description used for various classes or workshops you have taken and books you have bought on how to get energy and motivation back into your life? And despite these resources, how many times have you slipped back into those former, non-productive patterns of thinking?
So, how do you TAKE BACK THAT POWER and face your life with enthusiasm and zeal? There are many classes and books out there today advertising a plethora of ways to do just that. For example, the “7 Secrets to Maintaining your Motivation” talks about focus, belief, habits, emotional reactions, energy, your surroundings, and time management. These are great tools at helping you identify the problems. In fact, there are many excellent books and workshops out there that do a great job of giving you the tools you need to identify the problems. However, once you identify these problems and do all that is necessary to learn what tools are available to help you overcome these problems, the problem is the problems are still there! You still need to learn how to overcome your problems.
It is now an undisputed fact that our “emotional” state creates a significant impact on our mind and body. The stress we create in our day-to-day lives is massive and very comparable to how our ancestors would handle stress. If a bear came at them, their amygdala would take control, pumping blood to the arms and legs, raising their blood pressure and heart rate, preparing them to run away or to fight. It’s called the “fight or flight” response. However, the stress that we create in our lives today is not just a one-time bear attack; it is an ongoing realistic part of almost every day. We are at a heightened emotional stress level on a daily basis, which is very bad for the body, and creates all sorts of very real physical and emotional problems.
In a heightened, emotionally stressed state, energy and motivation go out the window, along with the ability to process food normally, effectively burn calories, lose weight, and build muscle. Your cholesterol and triglycerides go up, blood pressure increases, and your stomach flora decreases, which then creates allergies, gastroesophageal reflux, heartburn, high blood pressure, etc. Along with all of this, your cortisol and insulin levels increase, leaving you prone to even more things, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, heart problems, and central obesity. Stress is BAD every way you look at it. But stress is especially BAD with regards to your energy level, ability to function in a motivated state, or even have the physical ability to do so. No wonder motivation is such a hard state to maintain.
Stress is definitely one key component, but there are also other problems that keep you stuck on the couch. How about that memory from your youth where you were told you were a good-for- nothing-person, or the memory of being told how lazy you were and that you would never amount to anything? Memories such as these are key components as well, and lead to thought processes that you subconsciously fight all the time, such as, “I’m not good enough to do this”, or “Nothing I do is going to be good enough.” This most often ends up being a battle of the will and the subconscious usually wins. All of these components, combined with the physical problems/disease associated with the emotional state we are in, leads to a serious lack of motivation to do just about anything, except just exist day-to-day, never realizing those dreams we had or progressing forward in our lives.
So my thought is “why not just release the problems as we identify them?” I know, it is kind of a revolutionary approach. Clear away the brush so that the path STAYS clear! But that is, simply put, the power of psychological acupressure.
The first thing to do is to use the psychological acupressure to bring your subconscious energy in line with what you truly want to do. This is called a “reversal.” To do this, you take the part of your body known as the karate chop point (the part of the side of your hand that hits the board when doing a karate chop) and make a statement like, “Even though I don’t want to calm the stress center of my brain, I’m okay,” and “Even though I don’t want to get over these issues and memories dealing with motivation, I’m okay.” This will reverse your energy in your subconscious and allow it to be in sync with your mind on what you want to do.
The next step is to tap out the stress response in your amygdala and calm it down. Your amygdala is the part of the brain that is responsible for the “fight or flight” response. To do this, you need to tap this statement three times at the karate chop point: “Even though my amygdala is hyperactive causing a low-level stress response in my body, I choose to be calm and centered.” Then tap the area known as the 9-gamut point on the back of your hand, about a half inch behind the middle point between your ring finger and little finger knuckle. This point ties in right to your brain, as the optic nerve is directly linked to parts of the brain, so you do specific eye motions as you tap this area in order to direct your energy to that specific area of the brain. At this point, i.e., the 9-gamut point, tap as you make the statement: “My amygdala is hyperactive and causing a stress response in my body.” Then do your eye motions as you keep tapping that point. These are: Look up, look down, close your eyes, open your eyes, look down hard to the right, look down hard to the left, roll your eyes one way, then back the other, and then sing a few bars to any song (right brain), then count from 1-5 (left brain). Tap on top of your head and make the statement, “I choose to be calm and centered.”
After calming down the amygdala, it should calm down the low-level stress response and put you back into a non-stress level state. However, stress has a way of coming at you again and again all day long. Clearing past trauma associated with the amygdala is important, but until you can do it with a certified professional, just keep clearing your amygdala three or four times a day for awhile to keep you in a good calm and centered state.
After calming down the brain center, you now need to keep on working at ridding yourself of those past memories and thought processes you say to yourself, ones that keep you on that couch and not doing what you want to do in your life. Ways to tap out these events/emotions would be to just take a moment when you feel particularly unmotivated and try to evaluate why. If a memory or thought process comes up, try tapping the emotion/thought out exactly as you think it. This would start at the karate chop point again and the sentence to do this would be something like, “Even though I feel so incompetent and don’t believe in my own abilities to do this, I deeply and completely accept myself.” Then tap at these points: inner eye, outer eye, under the eye, under the nose, on the chin, on the collarbone, and under your arm, making negative statements like, “I am so incompetent,” or “I am not able to do this on my own,” etc. Do the same thing with traumas that you can remember, where you feel those same emotions.
When you clear out these emotions and thought processes, and your body is out of its stress response, you feel emotionally clear and free, fully capable to do what you need to do. Try this technique in relation to any of the problems you have identified in past workshops and clear out the beliefs that keep you stuck from doing them. Instead of working against your subconscious, bring your energy in sync with it and clear the path to an extraordinary life.
So, you are now EMPOWERED. You can choose to tap, or not to tap, but I have now given you the key. The next step is yours.
