Many of you have probably seen the likes of Paul McKenna demonstrate a bizarre tapping treatment on TV for anxiety, fear, phobias and even compulsion.  This unusual tapping technique is called Thought Field Therapy.  Created by Dr. Roger Callahan, read more: www.tftrx.com

I’m not going to get into the scientific genius behind it and bore you, but I am going to ask you to try the following

sequence when you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed or worried.

First things first, notice how anxious you are, think about it and focus on the feeling.  On a scale of 1-10, (10 being very anxious and worried and 1 being it doesn’t bother me that much, or I can hardly focus on it) Where would you rate your anxiety.  Once you have given your feeling a rating, do the following as you keep thinking about that anxious feeling:

1) Tap the side of your hand (the Karate chop area) about 20 times. Then switch hands and to the same to the other hand.

2) Tap under your eye 10 times

3) Tap 4″ under your arm pit – 10 times.

4) Tap 2 inches under your collarbone (chest) 10 times.

Now (9 Gamut Sequence):

Tap between your tiny finger knuckle and ring finger knuckle - about 1 inch towards your wrist continuously as you do the following & keeping your head still.

a) Close eyes

b) Open eyes

c) Look down to the right

d) Look down to the left

e) Rotate your eyes in a full clockwise circle

f) Rotate your eyes in a full anti-clockwise circle

g) Hum a few bars of “Happy Birthday”

h) Count 1 to 5

i)  Hum a few bars of “Happy Birthday” again

Now stop tapping your hand and repeat the above steps 2 to 4.

Then notice the change that may have occurred.  Rate your anxiety from 1-10 again.  Repeat accordingly.
