Background and Acknowledgments How This Book Came to Be Written
Energy Psychology is the generic name for an emerging family of experimental rapid-effectiveness tools that utilize the bodys energy pathways (meridian acupoints system), energy centers (chakras) and biofield (aura), to assist in addressing psychological, spiritual, mind-body and peak performance goals. Meridian-based Energy Psychology treatments are derived from disciplines that include Goodhearts Applied Kinesiology and derivatives, Thies Touch for Health and Rochlitzs Physicists Rapid Solution. Energy Psychology treatments include such disciplines as Diamonds Behavioral Kinesiology, Callahans Thought Field Therapy, Durlachers Acu-POWER, Nicosias Thought Energy Synchronization Therapy and ThoughtWorks Creation Gallos Energy Diagnostic & Treatment Methods and Negative Affect Elimination Method, Craigs Emotional Freedom Techniques, Nims Be Set Free Fast Method, Clintons Matrix Work, Swacks Healing From the Body Level Up, Whisenants Psychological Kinesiology, Schubots Energy Flow Process, Dennisons Educational Kinesiology, Teplitzs & Dennisons Brain Gym, and a host of other associated methods. Chakra- and Biofield-based Energy Psychology treatments include HoverKramers Healing Touch and Psychoenergetic Balancing, and their antecedents, inc., Krieger, Brennan and Bruyere. The names of some of these disciplines are trademarked, while the names of others (such as TFT) are not. I hold in my heart profound amounts of gratitude and credit for these grandparents and parents of Energy Psychology field, and I hope you will too. Individualized Energy Psychotherapy (IEP) (formerly called Comprehensive Energy Psychotherapy CEP) seeks to honor those contributions by combining these pioneers discoveries into a coherent and parsimonious structure that guides effective treatment. IEP combines elements from a number of these emerging offshoots of Kinesiology, Meridian Therapy, Biofield Therapy and Chakra Therapy disciplines into a cohesive, replicable protocol for treating a wide range of mind-body-spirit issues. This Energy Psychology Desktop Companion (EPDC) is a condensation of key portions of the extensive manuals provided to IEP training program participants. I wrote the EPDC in response to widespread requests for access to some of the information in these training manuals, from those who have not taken that training. I particularly want to express my profound gratitude to my original Energy Psychology mentors and teachers, Dr. Greg Nicosia and Dr. Fred Gallo, for their brilliance, innovations, and courage to help this wonderful field evolve despite significant resistance and obstacles placed in their way. I also want to express my fond appreciation to Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer and Dr. Rebecca Grace, my fellow founders of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, for their challenging, stretching and collaboration. When the need to combine meridian, chakra and biofield-based treatments into a comprehensive approach to Energy Psychology became apparent, Dorothea showed up with the missing pieces. Dorotheas chakra-biofield treatment expertise & experience in birthing professional associations, and Rebeccas and my experience as meridian-based Energy Psychology specialists & background in curriculum design & adult training techniques, blended to birth a professional association, a training program, and an ability to garner more Continuing Education providerships than anyone has ever accomplished in the Energy Psychology field. Thank you for your collaboration, Dorothea and Rebecca! David Gruder San Diego, California April 2000 & February 2002

Introduction to & Overview of This Energy Psychology Desktop Companion
Wouldnt it be great to have a handy reference guide to supercharging your Energy Psychology treatments? Wouldnt it be wonderful to have a troubleshooting compendium to consult for ideas when a treatment isnt producing the results you know it should? I have come to have great respect for five aspects of Energy Psychology treatment that seem to make the difference between successful treatments with lasting effects and treatments that ultimately prove to fall short of my hopes and expectations. They are: 1. Non-Polarization of a persons electromagnetic field (EMF) slows down, or even completely prevents, treatment from working. 2. Psychoenergetic Reversals in the persons energy centers (chakras) or pathways (meridians) that interfere with successful treatment, or prevent it from as frustration-free as it could be. 3. Treatment Point Selection, in which the algorithm you are using needs to be altered in order to fully produce the desired treatment effect as rapidly as possible. 4. Attunement Issues, in which: a) A treatment issue is insufficiently specified; b) The person is unable to remain focused on the issue during treatment; c) The person is insufficiently attentive to treatment reactions that spontaneously arise within as treatment unfolds (thoughts/sensations/emotions that are clues to unaddressed layers/aspects of an issue, conflicting or disowned parts of self, or separation from spiritual resources). 5. Premature Completion of treatment, in which an Energy Psychology treatment is considered complete before all the desired effects are both achieved and proven durable. Ive designed EPDC as a desktop companion for Energy Psychology practitioners. Ive structured EPDC around the five elements listed above. And Ive put to use my expertise in curriculum design, to make this book truly practical. I want to thank Drs. Rebecca Grace & Dorothea Hover-Kramer for their help with this book. At your fingertips in EPDC are instructions in specific methods, as well as additional resource recommendations, for supercharging and troubleshooting in each of these five crucial treatment areas. No matter what Energy Psychology approach you use, I believe this guide can serve as your own personal Energy Psychology treatment consultant! The Energy Psychology field is in an exciting and rapid learning curve about how to work with peoples energy fields to impart lasting benefit to our clients. This books structure is flexible enough to incorporate what I know will be a continually expanding compendium of methods to enhance and troubleshoot Energy Psychology treatments. My wish is for this book to provide practitioners with a wide range of useful power tools and resources for increasing the success of whatever Energy Psychology treatments they are using. Best wishes, David Gruder, Ph.D.

Overview
The Five Keys to Energy Psychology Treatment Success
Through training other clinicians in Energy Psychology methods, I have found that the more well-versed an Energy Psychology practitioner is in each of five specific aspects of treatment, the higher the success rate seems to be. These five aspects are the ability to: 1) Diagnose and treat Non-Polarization problems; 2) Diagnose and treat Psychoenergetic Reversals (PRs); 3) Select the most effective treatment algorithm; 4) Help the client establish and maintain optimal attunement to the treatment issue; and 5) Recognize when treatment is and isnt complete.
The Five Keys to Success Described in this EPDC Manual

1. NON-POLARIZATION (NP) TREATMENT Everyone generates their own personal electromagnetic field (EMF), which must be working properly in order for Energy Psychology treatments to succeed. An EMF being magnetic means that parts of a persons physical and energy systems are supposed to be positively and negatively charged (polarized), like a magnet. When this magnetic charge is weak, overcharged, or fluctuating, the person is said to be non-polarized (NP). NP can be caused by unfriendly external EMFs, allergies and certain other biochemical imbalances, certain structural problems, an absence of synchronization between certain systems in the body, neurologic disorganization and dissociation. Polarization must be restored for Energy Psychology treatments can succeed. EPDC puts at your fingertips information on the different types of NP, the various sources of NP, and a wide range of NP treatments. 2. PSYCHOENERGETIC REVERSALS (PR) CLEARING When parts of our EMF that should be positively charged are negatively charged, or vice versa, a polarity reversal exists (PR). These reversals can occur in our energy centers (chakras) or pathways (meridians). When they occur in response to a psychological issue, they are referred to as psychological or psychoenergetic reversals. PRs must be cleared for Energy Psychology treatments can succeed. EPDC contains information on diagnosing and treating three levels of PR (global, issue-specific and PRs at the completely level), as well as a compendium of around two dozen PRs that have been catalogued to date. 3. TREATMENT POINT SELECTION There are multiple approaches to selecting meridian and chakra treatment points. Some involve repeatedly treating a standardized, pre-selected set of points, sometimes in a specific sequence. Others utilize customized diagnosis in order to select treatment points and sequence. In the Energy Psychology field, these treatment point recipes are traditionally referred to as algorithms. Even though most meridian-based Energy Psychology treatment approaches utilize just one acupoint per meridian (and some approaches dont even treat each meridian!), each meridian actually contains multiple acupoints that could potentially do the job. When one algorithm doesnt work, another might. When pre-designed algorithms dont work, a customized one almost always will. The challenge is to select the algorithm that can most successfully produce the desired treatment effect. In EPDC you will find a listing of many of the algorithm treatment approaches that have been developed, and information on how to contact the developers of those approaches.
4. OPTIMAL ATTUNEMENT Attunement has to do with how clearly, accurately and continuously the client focuses attention on the treatment issue. There are three main aspects of attunement: specification, attention and aspects, Each of these is addressed in this EPDC manual. a) Specification: The treatment issue needs to be well specified. If its too vague or off the mark, treatment will not progress well. b) Attention: The person must remain focused on the issue during treatment. There are ways to do this without re-traumatizing the person, and this can even be done with people who have difficulty maintaining their concentration on the issue throughout treatment. c) Aspects: There may be more than one aspect to the issue being treated. You and your client need to remain attentive to reactions that spontaneously arise within your client as treatment unfolds. These thoughts, sensations, and emotions are clues about unaddressed layers or aspects of the treatment issue, conflicting or disowned parts of self, or separation from spiritual resources. Often, your client wont think to report these shifts. So, you need to remember to ask regularly about what is coming up within your client! And you need to be able to determine when to stick with the aspect youre presently on and when to switch to another aspect of the issue that spontaneously surfaces. 5. TRUE & FULL COMPLETION An Energy Psychology treatment can be considered complete only when both of these two results occur: a) All the desired effects/results are achieved; b) All the desired effects/results have proven durable in relevant real life conditions. Unless treatment continues until the last distress about the last aspect of the issue is cleared away of treatment, it is possible and even likely that the issue will come back. Also, removing of distress is not the same as experiencing wellbeing. Therefore, unless treatment also includes the embedding of beliefs, images and/or a felt sense that the client wishes to embody regarding the treatment issue (in place of the distress), the issue may still return. In EPDC you will find pointers for making sure that treatment has continued all the way to true and full completion.
Summary
If a) You have established good rapport and collaboration with your client; b) You and your client are honestly joined together in an intent to find the truth (rather than to support either of your preconceptions); and c) You have paid attention to the five key areas described above then your success rate with Energy Psychology treatments should be quite high. Other issues or situations needing treatment might arise, but the one being treated shouldnt return. Should you find that, despite diagnosing and attempting to address these five areas, you are still unable to be successful, please seek supervision from a qualified expert in Energy Psychology treatments! These are the keys to supercharging your Energy Psychology treatments and effectively troubleshooting what has gone awry when treatment doesnt go the way you think it should. In the next sections of this Energy Psychology Desktop Companion (EPDC), you will learn specific steps you can take to become masterful with each of these five keys.
Power Tool #1: Attunement & Diagnostics
epdc
Attunement & Diagnostic Methods
Introduction to Attunement & Diagnostics

ATTUNEMENT has to do with how clearly, accurately and continuously the client focuses attention on the treatment issue. There are three main aspects of attunement: specification, attention and aspects. Specification: The treatment issue needs to be well specified. If its too vague or off the mark, treatment will not progress well. Attention: The person must remain focused on the issue during treatment. There are ways to do this without re-traumatizing the person, and there is even a way to do this with people who have difficulty maintaining their concentration on the issue throughout treatment. Aspects: There may be more than one aspect to the issue being treated. You and your client need to remain attentive to reactions that spontaneously arise within your client as treatment unfolds. These thoughts, sensations, and emotions are clues about unaddressed layers or aspects of the treatment issue, conflicting or disowned parts of self, or separation from spiritual resources. Often, your client wont think to report these shifts. So, you need to remember to ask regularly about what is coming up within your client! And you need to be able to determine when to stick with the aspect youre presently on and when to switch to another aspect of the issue that spontaneously surfaces. DIAGNOSTICS doesnt only have to do with how well you and your client initially identify the treatment issue and allow it to evolve during treatment. It also has to do with: More Severe Energy System Disturbances: Recognizing and effectively treating nonpolarization and psychoenergetic reversals. Diagnosing the Need, Selecting the Method & Evaluating Progress: Recognizing the fastest, most effective and most client-respectful Energy Psychology method for to treat each layer of the specific treatment issue, especially when your preferred set of treatment points or Energy Psychology treatment method is not producing the positive results you expect. Diagnosing True & Full Treatment Completion: Recognizing when treatment has been fully completed, in contrast to prematurely ending treatment.
In this section of the manual, you will find a menu of ways to specify a treatment issue, some ways to help your client attune (and remain attuned) to that treatment issue, and an overview of Energy Psychology diagnostic methods youll want to keep in mind. Please note that the last item above, Diagnosing True & Full Treatment Completion is in its own section later on in this manual. (It is only mentioned here in the context of the importance of how important it is for an Energy Psychology practitioner to have reliable diagnostic procedures to fall back on, particularly when the treatment results are not what you expect.)
Treatment Focus: Energy Psychologys Wide Range of Uses

The range of issues and limits to the usefulness of Energy Psychology (EP) are still being discovered. A rapidly expanding wealth of clinical information indicates so far is that EPs potential uses are extremely far-reaching. It appears as though the limits lie not with the presenting problem, but with the clinicians ability to help the client attune to the real area needing treatment. In an Energy Psychology paradigm, all issues have, at their source, locked-in energy signatures that create an energetic weakness, which manifests as some form of anxiety. Energy Psychology treatments have been reported to produce favorable (and often stunning) results in the following areas, among others: 1. Systemic Psychoenergetic Disruptions Consistent inability to benefit from psychotherapeutic and other treatments Chronic difficulty concentrating or making decisions, brain fog, fatigue, irritability Dissatisfaction, emptiness, or limiting beliefs that pervade many parts of ones life Et cetera. 2. Situation-Specific Psychoenergetic Interference (related to the past, present or future) Trauma and other negative past experiences Anxiety and phobias Anger, resentment, hate, guilt, shame, grief and unforgiveness Addictions, obsessions and compulsions Other issue-specific baggage or blockages 3. Unconscious Process/Habits Traumas without conscious memories attached (e.g., body memories) Automatic habits (such as consistently interrupting people without knowing it) Sleep disturbances Twitches, tics, stammering, nail biting, etc. Et cetera. 4. Parts Work Inner Child Inner Critic Other internal parts of different ages or traits Higher Self/Loving Adult/Spiritual Guidance blocks or development
5. Treating Psychospiritual Aspects of Physical Illness/Surgery Prep-Recovery

6. Relationship Issues Love pain or love fantasies Fear of closeness Anxiety, escalation or flooding in relationships Anger, resentment or grief Treating a couples relationship energy field, or between a pregnant couple ad their baby 7. Limiting Beliefs About various aspects of self, such as worthiness About money About the world, love, relationships About the future About spirit or God Et cetera.
8. Installing (also called Instilling) Desired Beliefs, Goals, Peak Performance
Three Ways to Identify or Specify a Treatment Issue/Belief

SELF-REPORT
Clients often know what issue needs attention first. Just draw the client out and see what emerges. You can always verify self-report information about treatment issues through Muscle Testing (as long as the client is properly polarized and doesnt have Psychoenergetic Reversals interfering with Muscle Testing accuracy, of course).
INFERENCE
Inferring Non-Polarization: If you have trouble following your client (and you yourself are properly polarized), you can infer that its probably that your client is non-polarized. An inability to hone in on an issue specifically enough to know what to treat is one signal of probable NP. Inferring Psychoenergetic Reversals: If your client conveys reservations or objections to getting over an issue, you can infer the presence of PRs. With practice, you will begin to recognize the most probable PR from how a person talks about an issue. Talking about this will then pin it down. Inferring Treatment Issues/Aspects/Layers: Listen between the lines for clues about probable limiting beliefs, hidden/emerging aspects of the issue, or parts of self to be treated. Keep notes on all this, as these clues often leak out fleetingly and then submerge themselves again, if you dont pay close attention and move slowly. Energy Psych treatment usually occurs in layers. The talented and under-visible Energy Psychology pioneer, ERROL SCHUBOT, PH.D., writes in an unpublished manuscript about the importance of asking the client to report after each round of tapping on what is being noticed, much like what is done in EMDR treatments. Among the attunement elements he consider important (and I very much agree with him!) includes: Focusing awareness inward rather than having a conversation about the issue Welcoming, allowing and inquiring about inner experience that occurred during the tapping after each round of tapping (e.g., felt sense, emotions, thoughts, memories, etc.) Discovering core beliefs that are in operation that are barriers to transformation Noticing reactions from different parts of oneself Allowing guidance from what he refers to as the Creative Source (referred to by others as spirit, higher guidance, an inner advisor, etc.)
MUSCLE-TESTING
Selecting a Treatment Issue: If you have some clues about potential treatment issues, but your client doesnt know which one to treat first (and if this lack of clarity isnt caused by NonPolarization), Muscle Test to find out which issue or belief is in your clients highest interest to treat first. When you do this testing, Muscle Test first to make sure there are no Psychoenergetic Reversals currently interfering with Muscle Testing being able to provide accurate information about which issue to treat first. (If there is a PR, treat first until its cleared.) When in doubt as to which aspect or layer to treat next, check with muscle testing. Discovering Layers & Hidden Treatment Interference: If, for instance, a limiting belief doesnt clear, muscle test to find out if theres another limiting belief that needs to be treated first, or, more likely, if there is an old trauma (or a piece of baggage or unfinished business) or an objecting part of self, that needs to be treated/cleared first.
Ways to Remain Attuned to a Treatment Issue & Rate Progress

IN VIVO ATTUNEMENT
The easiest way to attune to a treatment issue is to be in the midst of it. Treatment in vivo tends to yield the most powerful treatment effect, durability, and client (and therapist!) amazement. Whenever logistically possible and professionally ethical to do, treat in vivo.
ATTUNEMENT THROUGH THINKING ABOUT THE ISSUE

Most of the time in the office, youll be having the person think about the issue throughout treatment. Attunement doesnt require that they feel all the worst feelings about it, just that they hold the issue in mind. Having your client identify an attunement phrase or image before beginning treatment provides an easy way to remain attuned. One way to find out if this is occurring is to check for SUDs levels (see below for description) frequently during treatment. If theyre attuned (and properly polarized), clients tend to readily report SUDs ratings. Changes in what the client is spontaneously attuning to during treatment can also offer important clues as to newly emerging strands, layers or aspects of the issue needing treatment.
ATTUNEMENT THROUGH THE CIRCUIT-LOCK (CL) PROCEDURE (POS-LOCK)

When a client has difficulty remaining attuned to an issue (perhaps its too traumatic to think about at all, or perhaps its more of an unconscious issue than a conscious one), you can use this procedure to anchor the issue in the persons energy field during treatment. 1. Set: With your client in a standing position with the feet touching each other, have him/her repeat four times out loud the issue or belief that makes his/her muscle testing WEAK. (Note: Each time you use the Circuit Lock procedure, be sure to first bring the legs together to erase any possible previous memories or inadvertent locks.) 2. Lock: Spread (abduct) the legs apart wider than the shoulders (about 2-3 feet apart for most adults), with toes out to the sides and knees locked. The treatment issue should now be locked in to the energy field (that is, if you muscle test the person in-the-clear s/he will test weak even without consciously trying to think about the treatment issue). 3. Treat: Have client hold this posture throughout the treatment without bending the knees or moving the feet. Follow the usual treatment instructions from here. If you lost the lock, repeat the procedure to lock it in all over again.
WAYS OF RATING AN ISSUE THAT HELP YOU EVALUATE TREATMENT PROGRESS

Subjective Units of Discomfort Scale (SUDS): A subjective numerical rating (I use 0 to 10) representing the level of distress regarding this issue. (0=complete absence of distress) Imagery: A non-numerical representation of SUDs or VoC, such as envisioning the needle on an intensity meter going up or down. Bodily Felt Sense: A direct internal experience of how the issue registers in the body. Validity of Cognition (VoC) Scale: A subjective numerical rating (I use 0 to 10 for the sake of
consistency) representing how embraced a belief is at a deeper level in a person (in contrast to what theyd like to believe or what they know better about). (10= belief is completely believable)
Validity of Imagery (VoI) Scale: A subjective numerical rating (I use 0 to 10 for the sake of
consistency) representing how vivid, real and believable a person experiences an image such as peak performance imagery (in contrast to imagery that only feels like wishful thinking). (10=fully believable)
Ideomotor Diagnostic Approaches

INTRODUCTION: ABOUT SUBTLE IDEOMOTOR CUES
An ideomotor cue is a subtle bodily indicator that provides information thought to come from a level of awareness beyond only the conscious level. Obtaining accurate results with the ideomotor responses most commonly used in Energy Psychology diagnosis requires that the tester and the subject be properly polarized and without PRs. Examples of ideomotor responses commonly used in Energy Psychology diagnostic procedures include: Muscle Testing, Dowsing (usually via the use of a pendulum) and Intention. Other Energy Psychology diagnostic methods used are machinery such as Roger Callahans Voice Technology machine and some biofeedback and neurofeedback measurement devices, all of which use one or another variety of machinery to measure subtle ideomotor responses.
MUSCLE TESTING
Muscle Testing the Client: A low-tech way of indirectly measuring changes in the bodys electrical output. The most commonly used Energy Psychology diagnostic method. Derives from standard practice in Chiropractic and Physical Therapy treatment. Muscle-Testing Yourself: Self-diagnosis requires a finer degree of attunement to ideomotor responses than Muscle Testing others seems to require. Muscle Testing Yourself Using a Measurement Device: Low tech & high tech devices are sold by certain companies that can measure Muscle Testing responses. Muscle Testing a Surrogate: A controversial way to utilize Muscle Testing data without having to physically touch the client. Requires the willingness to consider the possibility that one person can attune to another persons energy field. The tester tests a person who is attuned to the person being diagnosed. Muscle Testing Yourself as a Surrogate: Probably the most controversial use of Muscle Testing done today. Requires the ability to attune to the person being tested while simultaneously de-tuning to yourself. Requires the willingness to consider the possibility that one person can attune to another persons energy field (something which medical intuitives seem to demonstrate the ability to do). Also requires consistently reliable self-perception of subtle ideomotor cues. ETHICS NOTE: Never treat someone without prior permission. If you dont have permission, treat yourself for the distress you feel about the other person not getting help.
DOWSING (VIA PENDULUM)

A way to access subtle ideomotor responses by using a low-tech weighted device that is attached to a string or chain so that it can move freely from side to side or in circles. Takes some training and practice for most to be able to use a pendulum as an ideomotor response measurement tool.
INTENTION: DIAGNOSIS BY FELT SENSE

The subtlest level of ideomotor response involves simply sensing changes in your bodily felt sense in response to true and false statements. Arouses many peoples skepticism about whether our conscious or unconscious wishes might contaminate the accuracy of the information.

Treatments That Can Restore Proper Polarization
Overview of Polarity Disturbances

Like most other things in the physical universe, human bodies generate a measurable Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF). Our EMF appears to be a master switch that makes our energy field function. When we are non-polarized our energy field doesnt work properly. When we are properly polarized our energy field can respond to Energy Psychology treatments for specific issues. When our electromagnetic field is disrupted, which apparently it can easily be, other Energy Psychology treatments appear to not work, or they temporarily work but dont last. Polarity Disturbances can be constant, chronic conditions, or they switch on and off, seemingly without obvious warning, rhyme or reason. They come in two broad varieties: Non-Polarized and Reversed Polarity. Polarity problems can be generalized (systemic) or issue-specific. Generalized polarity problems show up in many or all aspects of a persons life (such as Attention Deficit Disorder). IssueSpecific polarity problems only occur when a particular issue is active (such as being energetically blown out by the terror of facing a particular issue). Non-Polarized is an electromagnetic disturbance that prevents energy from traveling through the Acupuncture Meridian system (or the chakra or biofield systems) in any distinct direction at all. A state of non-differentiation, it causes a person to muscle test strong on both true and false statements weak on both true and false statements, or inconclusively. Its akin to a swirling wind that is always blowing in your face no matter which direction you walk. This is not good news. Reversed Polarity is an electromagnetic disturbance that causes energy to travel along Acupuncture Meridians (or the chakra or biofield systems) in the opposite direction from the direction these impulses are meant to travel. This is akin to driving the wrong way on a one-way street, or, arteries carrying blood toward the heart and veins carrying blood toward the extremities. This isnt good news either. These polarity reversals are referred to in acupuncture circles as meridian reversals, and are known in the field of Energy Psychology as Psychological or Psychoenergetic Reversals (PRs). When someone has a PR, they muscle test strong on certain false statements and weak on corresponding true statements. Energy Psychology treatments cannot be successful if either the client or the therapist has a Systemic Psychoenergetic Disruption, because these disruptions spawn Psychoenergetic Reversals, which are forms of reversed polarity. Also, people who have polarity disturbances seem to be able to infect others who have weak energy fields.

Continuum of Polarity Disturbances: Description

The following is a list of sources of improper polarization, ranging from most to least severe (more or less), along with suggested interventions: 1. SEVERE DISSOCIATION The Problem: Its hard to establish a stable energy system when nobody is home! Examples: Multiple personalities (Dissociative Identity Disorder), Absence (too much of self having left the
body altogether), Invasion (something else taking up the space of the parts of self who have left). Interventions: Dealing with this source of profound non-polarization is its own specialty area, regardless of whether or not you use Energy Psychology treatment. Treatments include intensive parts work, Soul Retrieval and energy field clearing. Without proper training and experience with this severe form of dissociation, youre best to refer these individuals to a specialist.
2. ASTRONOMICAL/GEOPATHIC/MAN-MADE UNFRIENDLY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS The Problem: Certain external sources of EMFs that are can have a weakening effect on the human EMF,
causing situational or chronic non-polarization (note: it is not true that all EMFs are bad for us some EMFs are actually quite nourishing and healing!). These unfriendly EMFs may be the major source of energy toxins not attributable to substance allergies. Examples: Solar flares, geopathic grid/lay lines, high tension wires, computer monitors, etc. Interventions: The simplest treatments involve wearing devices (or placing them in the room youre in) that appear to help people maintain proper polarization even in the presence of an unfriendly EMF. Doing energy hygiene exercises regularly can also help your system become less susceptible to being affected by unfriendly EMFs. Treating EMFs as allergies/energy toxins, using Energy Psychology treatments, also shows some promise, as do homeopathic preparations and essential oils. Also, these problems can sometimes be corrected by those trained in intervening with environmental energy fields, such as Feng Shui, geomancy and dowsing experts. Again, this is a specialty area, so youll probably want to refer out.
3. ALLERGIES/NUTRITION DEFICITS The Problem: Chemical sensitivities and nutritional deficits can often be a source of non-polarization. Examples: Substance sensitivities and chemical imbalances Interventions: Energy Psychology offers a number of approaches that treat the energy toxin aspects of
allergies, such as the Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). Other methods requiring more specialized training that may also be outside the scope of licensure for most mental health professionals include Total Body Modification (TBM) and the Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique (NAET). Also, certain nutritional supplements sometimes help certain people restore and maintain proper polarization, such as MSM.
4. STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS The Problem: When the body is misaligned or structurally damaged, this can sometimes short out a persons
own EMF, causing them to become non-polarized. Examples: Cranial fault, subluxations, brain injury, etc. Interventions: Cranial fault and subluxations are usually treated by practitioners such as chiropractors, craniosacral specialists and the like. Brain injury can sometimes be treated with neurofeedback training and specialized machines, and/or Educational Kinesiology methods such as Brain Gym.
5. SYSTEM NON-SYNCHRONIZATION (HOMOLATERAL ENERGY FLOWS) The Problem: Non-polarization can also be caused by Homolateral energy flows, which can be vertical,
horizontal or front to back. Examples: Brain Hemisphere Communication Gridlock, Heart Rhythm Non-Synch, Heart-Brain Dyslexia Interventions: The spleen NLR and K-27 thumps talked about by Donna Eden in Energy Medicine, the CrossCrawl & Scarecrow, HeartMath methods, Cooks Hookups and Educational Kinesiology methods can help here.
6. NON-SPECIFIC NEUROLOGIC DISORGANIZATION (ND) The Problem: This generalized source of usually transient non-polarization is indicative that a persons energy
system is in a non-optimal state that can pretty easily be corrected with energy hygiene exercises. Examples: When a person is non-polarized but is responsive to any of the below interventions and maintains The Energy Psychology Desktop Companion 2000, 2002 Dr. David Gruder (858) 755-1988 Willingness Works 1155 Camino Del Mar PMB 516, Del Mar, CA 92014 www.willingness.com PAGE 14
proper polarization without constant re-treatment (following a period of doing the indicated exercises), s/he probably just has garden-variety ND. People who dont benefit, or whose benefits never hold likely have a nonpolarization problem caused by something more than garden-variety ND. Interventions: The Overenergy Correction (OEC), Bellybuton Correction (BBC) Collarbone Breathing Correction (CBC) and the use of external EMF neutralizing devices can all be helpful here.
7. BLOW-OUT The Problem: Unlike most other forms of non-polarization in which the person muscle tests strong no matter
what the test, in this form of non-differentiation, the person consistently tests weak. This mildest form of nonpolarization is ordinarily due to the system being depleted rather than damaged. Examples: Being extremely stressed at the very thought of the treatment issue, insufficient amounts of water, insufficient attunement to an issue, parts of self competing with each other regarding the treatment issue, recovering from flu or other illness, etc. Interventions: Jump starts (inc. reaffirming the intention to heal/learn, prayer, water, thymus thump, etc.), parts work, treating the anxiety about even focusing on the issue, etc.
8. PSYCHOENERGETIC REVERSALS (PRS) The Problem: Polarity reversals that reveal an energetic and/or unconscious psychological objection to getting
over a problem Examples: Global PRs are generalized, systemic reversals pervading many aspects of ones life (they are thus covered in Step Four section of your manual). Issue-Specific PRs are reversals that arise in response to particular treatment issue. PRs at the Completely level are a more subtle version of Issue-Specific PRs in which the objection is to getting entirely over a problem, even if there is no objection to experiencing some improvement regarding the problem. (Issue-Specific and Completely level PRs are covered in Step Four, as these PRs are not systemic, but instead only arise with specific issues). Interventions: Diagnosing which PR(s) are active, and clearing each one, usually via a combination of acupoint stimulation and affirmation.
Diagnosing Non-Polarization (NP) Using Muscle Testing

1. 2. 3. 4. Innocuous True-False Statements Tests: Example Right name, wrong name. Blow-out if MT weak on both. If strong on both, try non-specific ND tx first. If reversed, try gPR tx. Hand-Over-Head Test: Palm up (should be strong)/palm down over middle of skull. If both MT responses are weak, treat first for blow-out. If both responses are strong, first try tx for non-specific ND. If reversed, try gPR. Nose Bridge Test: Index finger pad (should be strong) and knuckle (should be weak) at bridge of nose: Blow-out if both weak; ND if both strong; gPR if reversed. Collarbone Test: MT touching each collarbone point (uc) with your front and back of hand, each one at a time: If Indicator Muscle (IM) weakens upon touching ANY hand position, the person is probably non-polarized (this is the NPdx acid test/gold standard). If weak on only one side, suspect system non-integration (homolateral energy flows) and confirm which treatment to try with X test 1 and/or 2 (see below). If weak on both sides, try nonspecific ND tx first, but dont be surprised to discover that the culprit is toxins, structural/chemical, EMF or, less commonly, severe dissociation. Toxins Test: MT the person when they are free of the suspected toxin, and then bring them into proximity with that suspected toxin. If MT weaker in its proximity, it is indeed a toxin. X Test #1: One test for Brain Hemisphere Communication Gridlock is to MT with the client looking at a pair of parallel lines (| |) and the looking at an x, both drawn on a standard size sheet of paper held 2-3 feet in front of them. If they test weak while looking at the x, they may have this form of non-polarization disturbance, which is thought to be one of the more common sources of learning difficulties. X Test #2: One test for Heart Rhythm Non-Synchronization is to do X Test #1 above while the client simultaneously has their hand over their heart. If they test weak while looking at the x, they may have this form of non-polarization disturbance, which is thought to be one of the more common sources of chronic distress over ones heart saying one thing while ones head says something else. Might test asynchrony between heart and brain.

1) Quick Jump Start (JS) Procedures

The simplest interventions are often all thats needed to restore proper polarization. The quick little Jump Start procedures include, in increasing order of time necessary: Re-test for polarization after each intervention: the idea is to do as few as necessary!
CHANGE THE EXTERNALS: HAVE CLIENT

1. 2. 3. Move away from unfriendly EMFs such as computer monitors, microwaves, stereo speakers. Remove metal from the nose bridge (eyeglasses) or that crosses the collarbone at the midline (a necklace). Move outdoors, away from fluorescent indoor lighting.
CHANGE THE INTERNALS: HAVE CLIENT

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Take five or six deep breaths. Drink a glass of water. Reaffirm his/her intention to help him/herself. Bring to heart a feeling of gratitude. Sternum Circular Tap: For about 15 seconds, have client tap in a counterclockwise 4 diameter circle the middle of the upper part of his/her breastplate. Thymus Thump (John Diamond, M.D.): a) Think of someone you love, or activate a sense of gratitude (focus on this throughout exercise); b) Form a fist with either hand with your thumb tucked inside; c) Thump your fist over your Thymus (upper middle chest toward the top of the breast plate), put a smile on your face, and take a deep breath and exhale repeating ha, ha, ha in the rhythm of your thumping; d) Repeat this for a total of three exhales.
Treatments for Garden-Varieties of Non-Specific NP

2) BELLY BUTTON CORRECTION (BBC) (ROCHLITZ AND OTHERS)
Press in on your belly button with two or three fingers of one hand firmly but not painfully while you simultaneously: Rub under your nose then switch hands and repeat this Rub under your lower lip then switch hands and repeat this Rub both collarbone points then switch hands and repeat this Massage your coccyx (the base of your tailbone) then switch hands and repeat this
3) OVER ENERGY CORRECTION (OEC) FOR CLEARING NON-SPECIFIC ND (COOK + YOGA)

Note: this treatment may last only minutes initially, which is why if your client needs it, s/he will have to remember to repeat it many times throughout the day. Similarly, should you choose to attempt to treat specific psychological issues before your clients electrical system is reliably polarized (which I dont recommend except in cases of acute trauma requiring immediate treatment), the OEC will need to be regularly repeated throughout algorithm treatments. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Place left foot over right at the ankles (can be done standing or sitting) Hands outstretched in front of you back to back (thumbs pointing downward) Right hand over left hand Interlock fingers Fold arms inward, resting interlocked fingers on chest Inhale with tongue up to roof of mouth near front teeth Exhale with tongue down to bottom of mouth Continue in this posture while breathing this way for 1 to 2 minutes
Homework to Clear ND Permanently 1. Repeat procedure 10 times a day for 6-8 weeks 2. Do procedure 1 to 2 minutes each time
4) TAPAS ACUPRESSURE TECHNIQUE (TAT)

1. Bring one hand up toward your forehead, placing your thumb and ring fingers on each of the two eyebrow treatment points (eb) and your middle finger on your third eye spot, about an inch above your eyebrows and directly above your nose 2. Take your other hand to the back of your head, resting it horizontally across your Occipital Ridge (the bulge in your skull right above the top of your neck) 3. Hold this pose for 1 to 2 minutes
5) NEUROVASCULAR HOLDING POINTS

1. Rub in order to find the two small bulges in your skull at the top of your forehead near your hairline (or near where your hairline used to be!), above each eye (they may be slightly tender) 2. Put one finger (doesnt matter which) on each of these spots 3. Hold for 1 to 2 minutes
6) COLLARBONE BREATHING CORRECTION (CBC) (CALLAHAN)

Stair-Step Breathing Instructions Breathe a normal breath Inhale halfway Inhale the rest of the way Inhale yet a little more Exhale halfway Exhale the rest of the way Exhale yet a little more Breathe a normal breath. Hand Positions Have your client tap the gamut spot with his/her free hand throughout this entire procedure. Provide your client with the instructions below (for treating the collarbone acupoint K-27), while taking him/her through the full Stair-Step Breathing process for each hand position. 1. Place the pads of 2 fingers of your left hand under your left collarbone acupoint. With your right hand, tap the gamut spot on your left hand. 2. Place the pads of 2 fingers of your left hand under your right collarbone acupoint. With your right hand, tap the gamut spot on your left hand. 3. Place the pads of 2 fingers of your right hand under your left collarbone acupoint. With your left hand, tap the gamut spot on your right hand. 4. Place the pads of 2 fingers of your right hand under your right collarbone acupoint. With your left hand, tap the gamut spot on your right hand. 5. Place the knuckles of your left fist under your left collarbone acupoint (with your thumb tucked inside your fist). With your right hand, tap the gamut spot on your left hand. 6. Place the knuckles of your left fist under your right collarbone acupoint (with your thumb tucked inside your fist). With your right hand, tap the gamut spot on your left hand. 7. Place the knuckles of your right fist under your left collarbone acupoint (with your thumb tucked inside your fist). With your left hand, tap the gamut spot on your right hand. 8. Place the knuckles of your right fist under your right acupoint collarbone (with your thumb tucked inside your fist). With your left hand, tap the gamut spot on your right hand. Homework Repeat procedure 10 times a day for 6-8 weeks
Treatments for Specialized Varieties of NP

7A) TREATING CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE NON-INTEGRATION: CROSS CRAWL (DENNISON)
1. Start walking in place: When left knee is raised, touch it with right hand; drop hand and leg after touching When right knee is raised, touch it with left hand; drop hand and leg after touching 2. Continue alternating for 1-2 minutes 3. Now, continuing the cross-crawl, have client visually track your fingers as you make a large clockwise circle, followed by a counterclockwise circle 4. Continuing both the cross-crawl and the visual tracking of circles, have the client count; then add humming, counting to 5, and tracking figure-8s with eyes 5. Repeat the Cerebral Hemisphere Integration Test to see if client now tests strong under all test conditions (X test #1 is on page 15)
7B) TREATING HEART DYSLEXIA: SCARECROW CROSS-CRAWL (DENNISON)

1. Bring elbow of one arm up to shoulder height and out to the side of body, with that forearm (and hand) bent at a right angle, pointing toward the floor 2. Rotate that shoulder forward (with forearm and hand continuing to point toward floor) so elbow now points straight ahead 3. As elbow arrives at straight ahead position, raise that forearm and hand up to horizontal position 4. Simultaneously raise your opposite knee, as though the hand is lifting the knee 5. Then, simultaneously drop both your arm and your leg 6. Repeat this with the opposite arm and leg combination (remember: make sure youre lifting opposite arm and knee, NOT same-side arm and knee) 7. Continue for 1 to 2 minutes 8. Now, while continuing this scarecrow cross-crawl, have client simultaneously hum 9. Then, while continuing this scarecrow cross-crawl, have client simultaneously count 10. As client continues scarecrow cross-crawl, have client visually track your fingers as they make figure-8 motions 11. Add humming, and then counting 12. Finally, as client continues scarecrow cross-crawl, have client visually track your hands as they make a large clockwise circle, followed by a counterclockwise circle, while humming and then counting 13. Repeat the Heart Dyslexia Test to see if client now tests strong while looking at X with hand over heart (X test #2 is on page 15) [This treatment may also help MS patients, and with general physical strengthening]
8) TREATING HEART RHYTHMS NON-INTEGRATION: HEARTMATH FREEZEFRAME TECHNIQUE (CHILDRE)

1. Recognize your stressful feeling (or your flooded state). 2. Take a time out and FREEZE-FRAME this stressful feeling (like pressing the pause button on a VCR, or putting the situation in a state of suspended animation). 3. Shift your attention to the area around your heart. To help focus your energy, imagine youre breathing through your heart. Keep your focus there for twenty to thirty seconds. 4. Next, activate a heart feeling (such as appreciation, love, gratitude, or a positive fun feeling). 5. Now, using your intuition, common sense and sincerity, inwardly ask: Coming from this state of heart, what would a more effective response be to the situation, one that will minimize future stress? Listen to what your heart answers to your question.
9) TEST ENERGY TOXIN CLEARING TREATMENT (TEST-ETC) (NICOSIA)

One way to clear toxins is to use any customized, diagnostic-level, clinician-strength IssuesRemoval Energy Psychotherapy protocol in which youre trained. Have your client hold the specific toxic substance in his/her hand and MT (Muscle Test) for negative impact on a number of body systems, as described below. Adapting the Energy Psychology method youre trained in, treat the toxin until it has no toxic effects on any of these systems. Here are some of the places your client can hold the toxin over which you muscle test (per Rochlitz): 1) The left (the clients left, your right!) spleen meridian treatment acupoint area (ua) (associated with spleen impact) 2) The right (the clients right, your left!) spleen meridian treatment acupoint area (ua) (associated with liver impact) 3) An inch below your belly button (associated with uretogenital system impact) 4) The thymus (associated with endocrine system impact) 5) An inch above and to the left of the belly button (the clients left, your right!) (associated with blood sugar metabolism impact) 6) Both temples (behind the Gall Bladder meridians oe treatment acupoint area, above the ears) (neurological impact usually the most relevant to non-polarization issues) If you do not have the substance itself, muscle test each of the six locations listed above while the client says, [Substance], I am well with you. and [Substance], I am ill with you. As above, follow your chosen Issues-Removal Energy Psychology protocol, until the client tests strong on the first statement and weak on the second statement. Please keep in mind that no one other than medical people such as MDs, DOs, DCs, Nurse Practitioners, Licensed Acupuncturists, and the like, can legally treat an allergy. However, a case can be made that mental health professionals should legitimately be expected, within their scope of license, to address Non-Polarization disturbances as part of a treatment for a specific emotional or cognitive issue. In other words, mental health professionals do not seek to treat allergies (which would be practicing medicine without a license). Rather, they seek to restore proper electromagnetic polarization as part of an Energy Psychotherapy intervention to treat a legitimately psychological issue. (If an allergy clears up in the process, a mental health worker wouldnt be qualified to say, since such diagnoses are outside of scope of practice!)

Biofield Treatments to Balance the Human Energy System & Strengthen Polarization
10a) Alignment: Establishing Your Personal Energy Line
(considered by Dorothea Hover-Kramer to be one of the finest grounding methods available)
1. Begin by placing hands at the vibrational point just below the navel and sensing the bodys gravitational center. (this is the kath or hara known in the Yogic tradition, the Dan Tien in Oriental medicine) 2. Imaging a line from the hara to the very center of the earth, allow yourself to feel grounded and connected to the earth. It may help you to find the center of your feet if you bend your knees and rock back & forth and side to side. 3. Continuing the sense of being securely grounded, let awareness of your vibrational essence shift to the area just above the heart (energetically known as the high heart) by placing a hand over the area. This is the center for expression of your true nature and purpose. Image the support of your alignment with the earth, your gravitational center and the high heart as a vibrational line at the very core of your being. 4. Allow awareness now to extend to the crown area of your head and the vibrational alignment with the Higher Self, the Universal Energy Field, and your own favorite star. 5. Sense your vibrational essence that can be imaged as a straight line, connected to the earth, the hara, the high heart and your star. Hold the consciousness of this alignment as you walk, as you set your intent for work with a client, as you greet others, as you prepare and think about a task. Enjoy your Being! Walk around after you have attained this alignment so you can develop a deep felt sense of it.
10b) Brush Down/Smoothing (to relieve areas of congestion, from Healing Touch)
This is the simplest of all vibrational interventions, effective for personal use when you feel agitated or hyped, or to use with a friend who feels scattered, pulled, fragmented, at effect or ungrounded. 1. Begin by centering and setting your intent for the highest good. 2. Now, hold your hands side by side with your palms facing the persons body. 3. Start 2-4 inches above the crown of the head and gently bring your hands down the midline of the front of the body, in a slow sweep from head to toe. Repeat this motion 2-3 more times. (Remember to smooth the field as you exhale. Allowing yourself to release with each breath as you continue the movement enhances effectiveness.) 4. Then proceed in the same manner down the back of the body. 5. Next, extending an arm, brush away from under the armpit to release lymphatic congestion. Proceed in the same manner with the other arm. 6. Complete by sweeping once more slowly from head to toe down the front midline.
10c) Brain Balancing/Mind Clearing
(a Healing Touch method effective with headache relief, fuzziness, morning startup, studying; also great for couples to do as tx homework)
Various forms of this technique are used by craniosacral practitioners, somatic therapists, and energyoriented healers. The steps below are regularly used in Rev. Rosalyn Bruyeres healing services. From a psychoenergetic perspective, this process helps another person to feel centered, to relieve tension headaches, and to achieve a peaceful state of mind. Any one of the hand positions can be used independently for 2-3 minutes to bring balance to the human energy system. Physiologically speaking, each hand position affects specific parts of the brain, the cerebrum, the mid-brain, the cerebellum, and brain stem to bring about balance and relaxation. Physical coordinates are given in parentheses.
1. Instructions: Ask the person if s/he prefers light physical touch or biofield touch. Remember to ask for reports from the person about what theyre noticing as you go along. 2. Position: Have the person you are seeking to help take a seat. Stand behind him/her. Allow yourself to feel grounded and centered, setting your intent to allow the flow of Qi to assist in whatever way is needed and for the highest good. 3. Shoulders: Hold your fingers lightly above the clients collarbone area allowing yourself to attune to him/her. (Thyroid and parathyroid glands.) 4. Front/Back of Head: Place fingers of one hand at the center of the back of the head where the neck meets the skull. Three fingers of the other hand are placed at the middle of the forehead. Allow a flow of Qi to course between your fingers back and forth for a minute or two. (Midbrain and brain stem, limbic system, thalamus, hypothalamus.) 5. Occipital Ridge Cupping: Allow fingers to form a cup that touches lightly where the neck meets the skull. Image Qi flowing from your fingers into the occipital region. (Brain stem, medulla oblongata, occipital region, and eye retina areas.) Hold until pulses come into sync. 6. Crown & Side Forward: Form a cap with thumbs together above the clients crown and fingers over each side of the head. Extend elbows to help with this position. (Parietal lobes of the brain, speech, hearing and mental processing centers.) 7. Side Above Ears: Place three fingers of each hand at the indentations above the ears, about where the elbows of someones glasses would touch. You should feel a slight pulse; if not, lighten your touch, or move a bit until you find the pulses. They may be irregular; hold the hand position until the pulses synchronize. (Lower parietal lobes and cerebellum; area most often involved in epilepsy.) 8. Forehead Horizontal: Allow the fingers to be parallel to each other (horizontal, fingertip to fingertip) and touch at the middle of the forehead. (Cerebrum and corpus colossum.) 9. Forehead Vertical: While holding the index fingers at the hairline, spread the other fingers across the forehead. (Cerebrum, mental processing and memory centers.) 10. TMJ: Touch lightly with fingers at the temporal-mandibular joint (TMJ) where the bones separate when yawning. (Jaw, teeth, ear and neck; a major tension area.) 11. Brush Face Outline: Gently stroke with the hands from the hairline across the forehead, down the cheeks to the chin. Repeat 3-4 times. (Facial muscles and tension areas.) 12. Cup Chin: Gently hold the chin around to the cheeks with the palms of your hands. (Jaw and neck tension.) 13. Shoulders: Complete with light touch to shoulders or gentle brushing from the crown to the shoulders, 3-4 times. Let client know youre done. Allow him/her to share inner experience.
10d) Multi-Dimensional Clearing (Healing Touch biofield clearing)

This technique allows for clearing, unruffling or smoothing of one or more dimensions of the human biofield. (To learn how to do this quickly and on your own, read the book, The High Performance Mind by Anna Wise. It provides exercises to access theta and delta states.) The effects are also multi-dimensional. In the physical body, clients report relief of pain or tension, ability to breathe more fully, and reduction of environmental sensitivities. In the emotional body, clients report relaxation, release of effects of trauma and an enhanced sense of wellbeing. Mentally, there is increased imagery and ability to think clearly. Spiritually, clients report a sense of connectedness to Higher Power or of inner peacefulness. This method is also helpful in preparing for any medical procedure, such as diagnostic processes, chemotherapy or surgery, as well as in releasing the effects of anesthesia or other accumulated toxins. General Instructions Have client select a treatment issue (but remember that this procedure can also be beneficial even when the client has no specific treatment issue in mind) Have client attune to (think about) the issue and provide baseline SUDs/VOC/VOI While client is attuned, do diagnostic scan clients body with your hands (this originated as a Therapeutic Touch method and was later incorporated into Healing Touch) With client remaining attuned, unruffle and modulate wherever your dx indicates Have client re-evaluate SUDs/VOC/VOI. Multidimensional Clearing Procedure Mechanics 1. Have Client Get Comfortable: Encourage client to find a comfortable position in an easy chair or recliner, loosening belts or constrictive clothing, and removing glasses. 2. Above Head: After centering, set intent for the layer of the biofield with which you wish to work, and then begin with the hands comfortable, close together above the clients head, 6-10 inches above the body. 3. Downward Sweep: Slowly and gently move the hands from above the clients head downward toward the feet in a continuous sweeping motion. A count of 30 will help to set the pace as you move steadily down the midline of the clients body. 4. Notice & Modulate: You may notice areas where the field is thick or congested. Imagine your hands becoming like magnets to attract this disturbed vibration and bring it below the clients feet. There, allow the disturbance to transmute and release to the earth with a shaking motion of the hands. 5. Repeat: Repeat the clearing of this layer of the biofield until it is smooth and even. (the first, and usually most congested layer may take 5-10 sweeps) 6. Next Layer: Continue with another layer of the field. Set your intent and move your hands slightly further away from the clients body. Clear this layer in the same slow, steady manner. 7. Continue: Complete the work with several layers, noting how successive sweeps are easier and lighter. In total, 20-30 sweeps may be needed for about 10 minutes. 8. Debrief: Let the client know you are complete and ask for sharing of the inner experience while client is in the same relaxed position. Have client re-evaluate SUDs/VOC/VOI. This should also be a time of new insight or meaningful imagery.

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS MAY PROMOTE PROPER POLARIZATION

Energy-Field-Friendly Nutritional Supplements: Electrical Nutrition: Denie Hiestand has developed supplements that are electrically available, as well as an intriguing book on the topic: www.vibrationalmedicine.com. Lifestar Millenium (800/858-7477, or 415/457-1400, www.lifestar.com). Their vitamin, mineral and herbal products are designed based on determining which supplements in what quantities in which combinations produce the most strengthening in the human energy field. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): MSM is a nutritional supplement that many energy psychotherapy practitioners believe can treat NP or counteract energy toxins. Proponents assert that MSM must be taken with whole Vitamin C in order to work properly for this purpose. Call Rich Distributing at (503) 761-7450 or browse the internet for other retailers of high quality MSM: most cost much less than the multi-level marketing formulation Callahan promotes.
STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS MAY CAUSE NON-POLARIZATION

Two of the more common structural blocks to proper polarization of the bodys electromagnetic field are: 1) a condition called Cranial Fault; and 2) inner ear disturbances. These interventions are the domain of properly trained chiropractors, osteopaths and other body workers, such as those trained in Craniosacral therapy (www.upledger.com).
GEOPATHIC OR ENVIRONMENTAL EMF PROBLEMS MAY CAUSE NON-POLARIZATION

Refer to an expert in EMFs, dowsing, Feng Shui or geopathic stress. EMF PROTECTORS: Bioshield: 800-317-9969 (recommended); Rejuvinizer: 800-935-0128; Gentle Wind Project: 207-439-2092; Biocircuit: 818-885-9090; Q-Link: 800-370-3447.
When to Refer: Scope of License Considerations

Non-Polarization problems MUST be corrected before Issue-Specific treatments can produce lasting positive results. Attempting to treat issue-specific problems before a person can consistently maintain proper polarization will likely result in one of these three outcomes: 1) Issue-Specific Treatment will make the client worse 2) Issue-Specific Treatment wont work, thus causing you to erroneously think Energy Psychotherapy doesnt work 3) Issue-Specific Treatment seems to work in the office, but the client cant hold the treatment over time, causing the client to become more frustrated. So, if the Energy Psychology techniques youre comfortable using do not result in your client passing the tests for proper polarization, refer your client for appropriate treatment of Systemic Psychoenergetic Disruptions before you begin treating your client for specific issues. If you are a psychologist, marriage & family therapist, clinical social worker, chemical dependency counselor, etc., some treatments for Non-Polarization will always remain outside the scope your license. Thats why establishing alliances with osteopaths, chiropractors and the like, is so important for Energy Psychology specialists. Also, if you dont specialize in treating ADHD, learning disabilities, information processing problems, or brain trauma recovery problems, I also advise that you locate a talented Edu-K and/or Brain Gym practitioner in your community. These professionals will prepare your client to succeed with you in the Energy Psychotherapy treatments with which you can be so helpful.
Power Tool #3: Clear All Psychoenergetic Reversals

Psychoenergetic Reversals (PRs)
Introduction to Psychoenergetic Reversals

One way to think of Psychoenergetic Reversals is as energetic objections to treatment. On a more literal level, PRs are meridian reversals in which the energy is flowing along one or move meridians in the reverse direction that it is supposed to flow. There are three families of Psychoenergetic Reversals: Global, Issue-Specific and Completely-Level. A Global Psychoenergetic Reversal (gPR) is one that is extremely broad in scope. They represent consistent energetic signatures across many situations. The first catalogued gPR was Callahans Massive Psychological Reversal, which is revealed by muscle testing when a person tests weak on I want to be happy and strong on I want to be miserable. Or ,they may want to be happy, but they muscle test as not wanting to get over a specific problem. I and others have found a number of other gPRs active in certain clients. There are also Theme-Related gPRs, which are global (generalized) versions of some of the issue-specific reversals. For instance, one of the issue-specific reversals is about deserving to get over a particular problem. However, some peoples deservingness issues are so pervasive that their energy system is wired as though they dont deserve to be happy in general, let alone deserve to get over any one particular problem. This manual contains some examples of the different varieties of gPRs that exist. A Specific Psychoenergetic Reversal (sPR) is one that pertains to the individual issue being treated. The catalogue of sPRs has expanded far beyond the couple that Callahan acknowledged to now include almost two dozen issue-specific PRs. For your convenience, this manual contains three slightly different sPR charts for you to use, depending on what youre treating Baggage Removal (e.g., trauma, phobias, or anything other treatment focus other than treating belies), Limiting Beliefs Removal and Desired Beliefs Instillation. The wording in each of these charts is specifically adapted for treating that type of issue. A Completely-Level Psychological Reversal (cPR) is a sPR that surfaces only as treatment makes progress. It has to do with it the client not being okay to get completely over the issue being treated, even though its okay to be partially over it. Hence, the term Completely-Level. These reversals reveal objections to being fully over a problem that may exist even when there are no objections to making some amount of progress in treating that problem. Typically, cPRs reveal themselves only after treatment progress has begun to occur. Any sPR can potentially show up as a cPR, even when it did not initially emerge as a sPR. Consequently, the list of cPRs is the same size as the list of sPRs. For your convenience, this manual contains three slightly different cPR charts for you to use, depending on what youre treating Baggage Removal, Limiting Beliefs Removal and Desired Beliefs Instillation. Each of these charts immediately follows the sPR chart for that type of issue. The wording in each of these charts is specifically adapted for treating that type of issue. Clearing PRs by Treating the Major Chakras : Psychoenergetic Reversals are not confined to the meridian aspect of the human vibrational matrix. They can also occur in the chakras. So, at the end of this section of the manual, I have included a sheet summarizing each of the seven major chakras, their locations, and some gPR, sPR and gPR chakra-based treatments you can also utilize.

GLOBAL PSYCHOENERGETIC REVERSAL DIAGNOSIS (CALLAHAN) (CALLAHAN REFERS TO GPR AS MASSIVE PSYCHOLOGICAL REVERSAL)
1. Have client say, I want to be happy and MT (strong is desired) 2. Have client say, I want to be miserable and MT (weak is desired)
GLOBAL PSYCHOENERGETIC REVERSAL TREATMENTS (CALLAHAN, GRUDER, SWACK)

If client is reversed OR non-differentiating, treat with the following: 1. Have client rub the Neuro-lymphatic Reflex spot* (NLR) in clockwise direction (The NLR spot is on the heart side of the chest wall, about 2 inches above the nipple, in a slightly tender indentation about the size of a quarter: have client place right hand as though about to say the Pledge of Allegiance and he/she will easily find it.) 2. gPR1 (Callahan) While rubbing, have client repeat the following statement three times: I deeply and profoundly accept myself with all my faults, problems and limitations. 3. gPR2 (Gruder) When Callahans treatment doesnt clear gPR, I have developed a back-up statement that does seem to reliably work. Have client repeat the following statement three times while rubbing NLR: I deeply and profoundly accept myself with all my gifts, strengths and ability to love. 4. GPR3 (Swack) If neither gPR1 nor gPR2 treatment is successful, MT using the diagnostic statements: I want to live vs. I want to die. If weak on I want to live, do custom diagnosis to determine which treatment point tests properly on these two statements. When you find that point, have person treat it while saying some wording that fits right for them, such as, Even if some part of me wants to die, I deeply and profoundly accept myself. Please be aware that if this comes up, the client probably has parts work to do.
* Each organ apparently has an associated NLR spot. Chiropractors tend to have information on all the NLR spots. However, based on results, the NLR spot used in treating Global and Issue-Specific PRs really does work the vast majority of the time, so there must be some bona fide phenomenon occurring with this spot, even though it is not directly connected with any particular meridian!
OTHER THEME-RELATED GLOBAL PSYCHOENERGETIC REVERSAL EXAMPLES

Theme-Related gPRs are global (generalized) versions of some of the issue-specific reversals. The following are the MT diagnosis statements in the positive wording. Diagnose and treat as you would any other PR. The below are just examples. Use your clients cues and your creativity to ferret out any Theme-Related gPRs your client may have. (You may need to do custom diagnosis to discover this clients optimal treatment location for a Theme-Related gPR.) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) I deserve to be a happy person. [Others] deserve for me to be a happy person. Its safe for me to be a happy person. Its safe for [others] for me to be a happy person. I have the right to be a happy person. I will allow myself to be an empowered person. Also see the end of this PRs section for some information on chakra-based PRs treatments!!
As you can see, these types of gPRs start to sound very much like limiting beliefs! Energy Psychology methods can help people clear limiting beliefs out of their thought fields.

Introduction
Meridian Algorithm Treatments
An algorithm is a fancy word for a recipe or code, borrowed from physics by Roger Callahan, that is part of the vocabulary of meridian-based Energy Psychology treatments. Meridian-based algorithms are recipes that include a selected set of acupoints, and sometimes a specific sequence in which these points are treated. There are a number of meridian-based algorithm treatment strategies that different practitioners use. In this section, youll find: 1. An overview of the range of elements that different meridian-based treatment strategies mix and match in order to create their particular slant on Energy Psychology treatment. 2. A listing of some of the more well-known Energy Psychology algorithm-based treatment methods & how to be in touch with the developer. 3. A couple of charts with information on some of the more commonly used meridian acupoints. 4. An abridged selection of the pre-designed algorithms for a wide range of problems. 5. A description of the Nine Gamut brain anchoring treatment popularized by Roger Callahan and used by many other practitioners, that is traditionally sandwiched in the middle of two rounds of a selected treatment algorithm.
Meridian-Based Algorithm Treatment Elements

There are two families of meridian algorithm treatments: Pre-Constructed Algorithms and CustomDiagnosed Algorithms. There are also two ways to implement algorithms: Algorithm Sequences and Algorithm Chords. Additionally, there are multiple ways to stimulate meridian acupoints used in Energy Psychology treatments, most frequently including physical activation and affirmations. Physical activation appears to be the most commonly used method. More controversial are treatments believed to stimulate meridian acupoints by thought or intention. Pre-Constructed Algorithms play the odds: clinical reports so far indicate they all appear to produce about 80% success in about 80% of people with about 80% of their issues. PreConstructed Algorithms include Comprehensive Algorithms and Theme-Specific Algorithms. Comprehensive Algorithms use the same acupoints and/or sequence for any and all issues. Examples of some of the better known Comprehensive Algorithms include Gary Craigs EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Peter Lambrous and George Pratts Emotional SelfManagement (ESM); Larry Nims BSFF (Be Set Free Fast), and Fred Gallos NAEM (Negative Affect Erasing Method). Theme-Specific Algorithms use specifically selected acupoints in a specific sequence for each particular theme. Theme-Specific Algorithms are what are taught in TFT Levels 1 & 2, such as Dr. Roger Callahans famous eye-arm-collarbone algorithm for basic anxiety. The compendium of Theme-Specific Algorithms was greatly expanded by Greg Nicosia, Ph.D. and Fred Gallo, Ph.D., when they developed TEST (Thought Energy Synchronization Therapy) Levels 1 & 2, which are still taught by Dr. Nicosia. Custom-Diagnosed Algorithms are articulated through subtle ideomotor diagnosis, such as Muscle Testing or Voice Technology. There are also a number of diagnostic methods for determining custom algorithms, including TEST, EDxTM (Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods), HBLU (Healing From the Body Level Up), Seemorg Matrix Work and the Gruder's & HoverThe Energy Psychology Desktop Companion 2000, 2002 Dr. David Gruder (858) 755-1988 Willingness Works 1155 Camino Del Mar PMB 516, Del Mar, CA 92014 www.willingness.com PAGE 49
Kramers IEP (Individualized Energy Psychotherapy). Custom-Diagnosed Algorithms appear to produce a higher success rate for most clinicians than Pre-Constructed Algorithms, with experienced clinicians consistently reporting these success rates as well into the upper 90% range, even with more difficult cases. These percentages are based, of course, on results with clients whose electromagnetic field is properly polarized. Algorithm Sequences are meridian acupoints and/or energy centers that are stimulated one after the other in a specific order. Algorithm Chords are meridian acupoints (sometimes combined with other points such as energy center points) which are held simultaneously. The best known Algorithm Chords are the TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique) chord and the Energy Chords that have in the past been researched by Pat Carrington, Ph.D. (welcome@pcarrington.com), who also developed Choices. Physical Acupoint Activation methods used in Energy Psychology treatments most commonly include touching (often combined with breathing, as in TAB), rubbing, percussing (tapping), or lasers. Clinical report indicates that all stimulation methods appear to be equally effective. Meridian Activation Through Affirmation methods involve repeating specific affirmations thought to balance a particular meridian, as first advocated by John Diamond, M.D.. Of course, some practitioners combine physical activation with affirmations. And innovators such as Greg Nicosia, Ph.D. and Larry Nims, Ph.D. go a step beyond affirmation to advocate that meridian imbalances can be treated merely by Intention: thinking about physically stimulating treatment acupoints.

You can add un (governing vessel) for anticipatory fear (future) and/or ul (central vessel) for guilt/shame (deservingness) in front of any algorithm, to potentiate the algorithm. If you decide to use both potentiators, do un first, ul second and the algorithm third.

Making Sure Treatment is Complete
Introduction to Confirming Treatment Completion

The action area covered in this manual has to do with the process of completing treatment. I have often been told by disheartened Energy Psychology practitioners interested in signing up for Individualized Energy Psychology (IEP) training courses that they have often thought their client received positive treatment effects only to later find out that these effects didnt last. It seems that Energy Psychology practitioners do not often enough know ways to accurately gauge when treatment is truly complete. An Energy Psychology treatment should be considered complete only when both of these two results occur: 1) All the desired effects/results are achieved during the session; AND 2) All the desired effects/results have proven durable in relevant real life conditions. The rule of thumb is that unless treatment continues until the last distress about the last aspect of the issue is cleared away of treatment, it is possible and even likely that the issue will come back. Also, removing distress is not the same as experiencing wellbeing. Therefore, unless treatment also includes embedding beliefs, images and/or a felt sense that the client wishes to embody in place of distress regarding the treatment issue, the issue may still return. In this section you will find tips for making sure that treatment has continued all the way to true and full completion. In this section of the manual, you will find information on: How to determine if treatment has reached true and full completion. Treatment procedures to end (seal) an Energy Psychology treatment. Debriefing an Energy Psychology treatment with your client and assigning homework.
True & Full Completion: Confirming Treatment Results

Heres how to evaluate whether there is true and full completion: 1. Descriptive Self-Report Method: When completion is first suspected, first ask your client to think again about the issue. If the client reports being fully and completely okay when thinking about it, have him/her next do either of two things: think about the worst or most distressing part of the issue or (if its a distressing event) have him/her walk through the entire event in slow motion (in their mind, or better yet, out loud). What youre looking for is that the client still reports remaining fully and completely okay in all parts of the review. If, on the other hand, your client becomes reactivated when doing any of the above, treatment is not complete. In this case, follow the directions in the next subsection below. 2. Rating Scale Method: Do as in #1 above, except with your client rating his/her distress level, preferably by both self-report and muscle-testing or some other subtle ideomotor activity measurement method (see rating methods in the Attunement section toward the beginning of this manual). Youre looking for their distress level to remain a zero. If your clients distress level rises above a zero when reviewing any of the above, treatment is not complete. In this case, follow the directions in the next subsection below. 3. Installation: As mentioned before, the absence of distress is not the same as the experience of wellbeing. Your added insurance policy against a problem returning is not only to have removed the problem but to have replaced the undesired internal experience with one the client desires to have instead when in this type of situation. This is accomplished through the client generating a desired belief and/or image s/he would like to have in place of the limiting belief or distressing internal experience s/he has had previously. This belief/image is then installed into the client through adapting the Energy Psychology method you use so that it can help your client embed this new internal experience. IEP-2 training, Greg Nicosias ThoughtWorks Creation process and Gary Craigs Palace of Possibilities are a couple of examples of Energy Psychology methods that can provide you different ways to accomplish this. Once your client reports full embodiment of the desired belief or image, and rating (preferably through both self-report and subtle ideomotor cues testing) is +10 or the equivalent, you can be much more assured that the treatment results will last. The exception to this is if there is an aspect or layer of the issue that neither of you spotted during treatment, but which later surfaces as a response to a real life situation. 4. In Vivo Results Confirmation: The ultimate test of whether the treatment is complete comes when the client responds to a real life situation (i.e., in vivo) that is similar or identical to the one thats been treated. To the extent that it is safe to do this, try to get your client to place her/himself in a situation like that in order to test the results. If this test reveals layers of the issue that are not yet completed, then treat those and retest. NOTE: Life is the ultimate challenge of the zero. This is why I give my clients the homework of repeating the treatment out in their lives (see next section and homework sheets in the Appendix), as well as asking them to observe results (see next section). This way, if treatment turns out to be incomplete, I can do additional treatments in subsequent sessions until the zero holds in their real life situations. Also note that with some people and issues, youll need to be open to diagnosing and treating in vivo (while the issue is active i.e., when youre both at the top of a building, if fear of heights is being treated) in order to completely clear the issue.
Confirm the Results When Client SUDs Gets to Zero

(If you need more information about SUDs, refer back to the Attunement section toward the beginning of this manual.) A true zero means there are no PRs active (active PRs can cause a zero to be unreliable), and that the issue was challenged during the session & out in life and re-treated while being challenged, until a true zero holds, even when challenged. One method to assure full treatment completion is discussed below. After the client has gotten to a 0 SUD level: 1. Test for Psychoenergetic Reversal: Test for cPRs to make sure that the 0 SUD is not a false 0 (Test statement for muscle testing: There are no PRs present affecting this problem at this time.) 2. Challenge the Zero: Have the client really imagine being in that situation. Ask How much do you believe that the next time youre in this situation youll still be a zero? Have client think of the worst of this situation. Have client recount the incident or issue by talking about it a bit right now. Does SUDs still remain a zero? If not, re-treat the layer of the issue that surfaces and then go back to #1 above. If so, move to installation. 3. Install the Replacement: Once a true zero is reached (true zero = client muscle tests as a zero, no PRs are active, and the zero holds when challenged), install an alternate belief or image the client wants instead. Installation is complete when the Validity of Cognition (VoC) or Validity of Imagery (VoI) is +10. (Specific installation procedures are taught in IEP-2.). Have client recount the incident/issue/belief by talking about it a bit right now. Does SUDs still remain at +10? If not, re-treat the layer of the issue that surfaces until a +10 cannot be diminished and there are no cPRs present that might be making the SUDs readings inaccurate.
Ways to Seal a Treatment at the End of a Session

Whether or not your client reached true and full completion of an issue by the end of a given session, it is usually advisable to end an Energy Psychology treatment by putting the equivalent of a period at the end of a sentence. This is known as sealing a treatment. Doing this may help anchor the progress made up to that point. There are two simple and brief methods to seal an Energy Psychology treatment. One is for sealing a treatment in which the client is in the process of removing something they dont want to carry anymore. The other is for sealing a treatment in which the client is in the process of embedding a belief or image s/he wants to embody. 1. Sealing a Removal Treatment: Do a vertical eye roll (er) While tapping the gamut spot: eyes closed, eyes open, look down, slowly look up all the way to the ceiling. 2. Sealing an Installation Treatment: Do extended tapping (15-30 seconds on each acupoint) on ua (a spleen meridian acupoint) followed by eb (a bladder meridian acupoint) while the client repeats the desired belief to him/herself.
How to Debrief a Treatment Before Ending the Session

1. Mitigate the Apex Problem: In short, the Apex Problem refers to a tendency to deny that a treatment that produced a valuable treatment effect really did achieve that result. This phenomenon received this name by Roger Callahan. In classical psychology, it is viewed as an assimilation versus accommodation problem, meaning that when a person is confronted with a life experience that threatens to blow away their worldview, they have two choices. The first is to assimilate their experience into their pre-existing paradigm by explaining it in a way that may be inaccurate, but which allows their worldview to remain unthreatened. The second is to accommodate, or modify, their paradigm because they realize that this new experience cannot be adequately explained by the worldview they have held until now. Guess which is more threatening?! When a person experiencing a positive effect from an Energy Psychology treatment improperly selects assimilation over accommodation to explain their experience, this person can be said to be suffering from the Apex Problem. With this in mind, it is important that you alert your clients about this phenomenon by telling them that since these treatments can be pretty gentle and un-dramatic, and since these treatments seem rather flaky to some people, people have a tendency to under-recognize the results they may have gotten from these treatments. Alert your client that the naturalness and ease with which people often do the very things they used to be blocked with prior to treatment can cause them to re-write history; that is, to second-guess whether they really had the problem in the first place or even if they remember having had the problem, to wonder if they had made too big a deal of it in the past. Tell your client that this phenomenon has caused people to wonder if their Energy Psychology treatment had any effect at all, when in fact, it had a profound and powerful one. Tell him/her that this phenomenon is common enough to have been given a name: the Apex Problem. (When helpful, you can also offer a brief description of the difference between assimilation and accommodation.) 2. Ask Client to Be a Good Researcher: Tell your client that the antidote to falling prey to the Apex Problem is to be a good researcher. Ask your client to be on the lookout for positive changes, negative changes, or no changes at all, in situations s/he knows that in the past s/he likely would have had his/her peace disturbed, particularly those related to the issue or theme just treated. Ask your client to keep track of what s/he notices, writing observations down if necessary. Explain that sharing this information with you in the next session will help you determine whether the treatment for this issue is complete, or, if it isnt, how to tweak the follow-up treatments to produce more effective results. Make assembling a verbal (or written) report for you of what your client observes between now and their next session part of the homework you assign your client. 3. Assign Homework: Also assign your client the homework of repeating whatever parts of the treatment you want him/her to do as self-treatment. Provide a filled-in homework packet that instructs your client specifically in the treatment you want done as homework (you might develop a form that fits your needs so youre not re-writing everything from scratch each time or complete homework packets are provided in the extensive training manual that accompanies the IEP training programs). Some homework options include assigning:
A Systemic Psychoenergetic Disruptions exercise, if your client needs one Re-treating the PRs your client had regarding the issue being treated The last treatment code (algorithm) you used in this session or composite treatment code (algorithm) that combines, in a condensed form, all the points used in each round of this sessions treatment

Five Keys to Successful Energy Psychology Treatment: A Summary
NOTE: David Gruder (formerly Grudermeyer but returned to his original last name postdivorce) was the Founding President the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology. In that role, he studied in depth most of the approaches to energy psychology developed by the leaders and innovators within that organization. This paper presents principles for maximizing treatment success based on his extensive clinical experience and comprehensive exposure to most of the leading energy psychology approaches. Originally written for the Energy Psychology Interactive CD, and thoroughly updated here, this paper was based on a talk delivered by Dr. Gruder at the First European Conference on Energy Psychology, July 6, 2001, in Frigen, Switzerland. Many of the issues raised in this paper are addressed in greater detail Dr. Gruders Energy Psychology Desktop Companion (Del Mar, CA: Willingness Works Press, 2000, 2003, www.willingness.com), which also provides multiple, subject-related lists of clinical resources and academic references pertinent to the Energy Psychology field. INTRODUCTION All good psychotherapy serves to, directly or indirectly, reorganize the clients energy field in a manner that helps free the client of psychological disturbances. Energy psychology is distinguished by directly intervening with the clients energy field in a deliberate, focused, and systematic manner. In my practice as a licensed psychologist and marriage & family therapist, I have used energy methods as treatment tools, applying them within a broader therapeutic context, rather than as a complete treatment approach within itself. Five keys for making treatment more rapid, effective, and lasting, using the energy-based methods presented in this CD, are addressed in this paper. When treatment isnt going as well as you believe it can, troubleshooting in those five areas will likely yield the source(s) of interference. These five areas are: 1) Specify & Attune to the Top Priority Issue; 2) Establish Readiness to Benefit From the Treatment; 3) Select the Priority Treatment Method; 4) Confirm Full Completion of the Treatment; 5) Upgrade the Undisturbed State With Peak Functioning. KEY #1: SPECIFY AND ATTUNE TO THE TOP PRIORITY ISSUE A. SPECIFYING THE TOP PRIORITY GOAL & TREATMENT FOCUS: There is an important difference between the goal and the treatment issue. The goal is whatever the client wants to experience as the result of treatment. The goal may be the elimination of distressing symptoms or reaching a dream or enhancing peak performance. On the other hand, the treatment issue is whatever is focused on in the therapy in order to assist in achieving the clients goal. The first key to a successful therapeutic outcome is about being confident that the top priority goal has been selected and that identifying the underlying blockage that is selected as the focus for the treatment and then attuning to that blockage. The rule for choosing this top priority treatment focus is based on the principle of highest leverage. What treatment focus will yield the most effect from the simplest intervention? What treatment focus is going to help the client move forward most effectively toward his/her top priority goal? For some clients the initial top priority treatment focus might be the root cause of the presenting problem. This could involve identifying a trauma that underlies the presenting
problem and clearing it, or addressing even deeper issues having to do with the clients basic, inherited temperament. Other clients dont become fully ready to benefit from treating on a root cause level until they first have some relief from some of their distressing symptoms. In addition to correctly identifying the general territory of the top priority treatment focus, effective treatment also targets the right level or aspect of that issue to treat in the here-andnow. (For example, in treating a trauma that contains a root cause blockage, is the next aspect of the trauma for the client to focus upon the tightness in my chest or the moment of the car crash?) Operationally, if you dont get clear information about the priority goal, or dont get the results you intended, youre most likely to find that the glitch lies in one or more of the five areas discussed in this paper. So, one way to use this paper is as a guide to troubleshooting when the process doesnt go as you think it should. For instance, perhaps your client and/or you incorrectly identified the top priority goal or treatment focus (especially if you didnt use a method of accessing the clients unconscious wisdom about these questions, such as energy checking...or, if you did use a method of accessing unconscious wisdom such as energy checking, but didnt recognize that the client was non-polarized or had objections to knowing). Finding the top priority treatment focus often naturally emerges from the clinical interview. In the first session, the interview might go into considerable depth, but even after the basics have been established, the client might be asked: Intuitively select the aspect of the issue that is the most important part of the problem to start with today (deliberately phrased in a way likely to call more from the clients intuition than his/her conscious or preconceived ideas). As practitioners, we also listen to our own intuition. If we believe the client is focusing on an issue that will not lead to the best therapeutic outcome, we may ask if we can share our hunch, leading to further dialogue. Forms of subtle ideomotor cueing that access the clients unconscious, such as energy checking can also be used to verify and further refine the top priority goal and treatment focus (as well as with each of the other keys to successful treatment). First a few comments about energy checking. Therapeutic interviewing can and should be geared toward attuning clients to their intuition. We use energy checking more as a way of getting a second opinion. It is also a way of attuning our own therapeutic intuition, and is a low-tech form of biofeedback that can teach clients how to recognize and trust their intuition more fully. I view energy checking as training wheels for developing intuition, much like American children first learn to ride a bike using training wheels to help them until they can balance themselves on their own. For instance, once the dialogue has established the top priority treatment focus, the wording to verify it with an energy check might be as simple as, The moment of the accident is the most important issue to start with treating today. (The contrasting check for this, by the way, would be, There is an even more important issue for us to start with today.) If the energy check verifies the clients sense conscious guess about the top priority treatment focus, continue. If not, discuss the clients understanding of the discrepancy and keep cross-checking until youre both satisfied that youre on target. B. THE PRINCIPLE OF ATTUNEMENT: Once the top priority treatment focus has been selected, the client needs to be attuned to that issue while subsequent energy checking is done concerning any aspect of the treatment focus, and during the tapping or other energy treatment. Sometimes this is simply a matter of asking the client to keep the issue in focus. But often the person has been doing everything in his or her power not to experience the feelings associated with the issue, thereby making it rather difficult to maintain an ongoing attunement to the
problem during the treatment. (When this is the case, these objections need to be accurately identified and treated first. Doing this will ordinarily make the treatment of the issue itself much easier and enjoyable and rapid than it would have been had you tried to force your way past the clients objections to getting over the issue.) C. METHODS OF ATTUNEMENT: The simplest method for attunement is to ask the client to tune into the problem and to let you know when it is sufficiently attuned to proceed. An energy check can verify: Are you attuned enough at this time to effectively receive and benefit from the treatment? The question, Are you still sufficiently attuned? should periodically be asked and verified, particularly following periods of dialogue or heightened emotional reactions. Additionally, techniques such as the leg lock and the third eye up can energetically lock in the problem state, so that it can be treated. (These methods are among those described in the Energy Psychology Interactive book and CD: www.energypsychologyinteractive.com.) D. METHODS OF EVALUATING PROGRESS: Another important way to help a client remain attuned to an issue is to get a baseline measure of the extent of the problem, and then to regularly re-measure in order to help assess how treatment is progressing. In addition to self report, there are commonly used subjective scales clients are asked to use, including distress levels (SUD), dysfunctional elation levels (SUE), validity of cognition (VOC), validity of imagery (VOI), etc. These scales can also be cross-checked using energy checking methods. Regardless of whether I select one of these scales to use, I always use an additional scale: % of blockage removed (or in the case of installation in Key #5, % of upgrading achieved). Im also regularly energy checking for inaccuracies in the energy checking responses, using what I call The Three Ds: Delusion (responses that reflect wishful thinking rather than true information), Distortion (some part of the energy system malfunctioning in such a way that the energy checking results become inaccurate) or Deception (some energy is present whose agenda is to deliberately confound the treatment by influencing the results of the energy checking to be unreliable and confusing). KEY #2: ESTABLISH READINESS TO BENEFIT FROM THE TREATMENT A. ELECTROMAGNETIC READINESS (versus Non-polarization): When we are functioning optimally, the electromagnetic output at the top of the head, feet, and hands holds a positive charge. The output at the bottom of the feet and in the palms of the hands is negatively charged. If these polarizations are reversed, or if there is a non-polarization (i.e., there is no difference in charge between tops and bottoms), results from energy treatments will likely be diminished or possible completely effective (the same diminished results tend to accrue even when using more standard non-energy psychotherapeutic interventions). Electromagnetic and neurological readiness for treatment is commonly referred to as Neurological Disorganization. I find the term Neurological Disorganization to be one of a number of sources/symptoms of nonpolarization, which is why we refer to this broad category of electromagnetic unreadiness to benefit from treatment as non-polarization [or NP].) I have catalogued quite a number of nonpolarization treatment interventions covering a wide variety of non-polarization source, in my book, the Energy Psychology Desktop Companion. B. 100% PERMISSION TO TREAT (versus objections): The requirement here is the unconscious minds permission, or the bodys permission, or the energy systems permission, rather than the conscious minds permission. I use Judith Swacks wording for energy checking permission: Do we have 100% permission to treat this issue?, or Do we not have 100% permission to treat this issue? If you dont have the unconscious minds or the bodys or the energy systems permission (or some internal parts permission, or, for that matter, the Higher Selfs permission) to successfully treat the issue, treatment will not progress very easily or at all (or results will not stick), whether using an energy approach, talk therapy, or any other
method. If the energy check shows that you dont have 100% permission to treat, ask the client what s/he believes is the source of non-permission. (Cross-verify with his/her answers with energy checking.) The objection then becomes the temporary new priority treatment focus until the electromagnetic objections are cleared. If the clients first response is I dont know, go deeper with your questions and/or use energy checking to uncover clues. Permission is a critical issue for a successful treatment outcome. When there is something short of 100% permission to clear the priority treatment focus, this means that the client has conscious or unconscious objections to getting completely over the issue. Objections are what, in Energy Psychology circles, are commonly called psychoenergetic reversals. These are also called psychological reversals, but I chose the term psychoenergetic reversals so as not to convey to the client a quality of blame or an assumption of intentional sabotage. Psychoenergetic reversals are not just psychological; rather this powerful obstacle to desired and desirable change is embedded in the energy system, and is consequently most easily cleared using energy interventions. There are many different flavors of inner objections to attaining the treatment goal. Over twodozen kinds of psychoenergetic reversals (objections) have been catalogued, such as those described in my Energy Psychology Desktop Companion, and they can extend to permutations that involve every conceivable intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamic. For instance, there are vengeance psychoenergetic reversals, such as: I wont overcome this problem until my spouse is truly sorry for having hurt me. There are codependence psychological reversals, such as: Its unsafe for my mother for me to get over this problem. These are examples of issue-specific psychoenergetic reversals (objections). Some psychoenergetic reversals, though, are so pervasive and fundamental that they go far beyond any one specific treatment issue. In fact, no other psychological issue can be meaningfully addressed until these Global Psychoenergetic Reversals are resolved: One example of a global psychoenergetic objection is I dont want to live. Psychoenergetic reversals are generally amenable to the same basic correction strategy. An acupoint or neurolymphatic reflex point is stimulated while a verbal correction is introduced. The verbal correction takes the form of an acknowledgement of the feeling or position involved in the reversal combined with an affirmation of self-acceptance: Even if I dont want to live, I deeply and completely accept myself. (My respect for the wisdom of the psychological understandings that come from the field of linguistics, caused me to switch the order of the phrasing used as part of most psychoenergetic treatment statements, so that the client instead states the self-acceptance clause at the end of the sentence. For instance, whereas it is more common in Energy Psychology circles to phrase an objection treatment statement the opposite way from how I worded it above, namely, I deeply and completely accept myself, even if I dont want to live. I find that this wording too easily unintentionally reinforces the idea of not wanting to live rather than accepting myself. It is, of course, not feasible (or necessary) to energy check every conceivable psychoenergetic reversal for treatment to proceed. Rather than going through the catalog, you can trust your clients intuition to know what is getting in the way of treatment progress, using such interview questions as, If you had an objection to getting over this problem, what would it be? You can also energy check: There is a psychoenergetic reversal currently affecting this issue versus There are no psychoenergetic reversals currently affecting this issue. You can also use the following wording for energy checking reversals: Some part of me or my energy field has one of more objections to my getting completely and permanently clearing this issue. C. INTERPERSONAL READINESS FOR THE THERAPY TO PROCEED. Unless rapport has been adequately established, therapeutic success will be compromised. As an aside, in treatment
approaches that limit themselves to energy-based interventions, the clients transference tends to go more to the technique than to the therapist. Counter-transference, however, is heavily interpersonal, because counter-transference can occur as much at the energy level as the more obvious levels known to conventional psychotherapy. If the therapist is neurologically disorganized (or non-polarized in some other way), this will affect the treatment. If the therapist has any psychoenergetic reversals (objections) regarding the treatment, this will also affect the treatment. If the therapist has unfinished business in working through the issue being addressed, this will affect the treatment as well. The caveat, practitioner heal thyself is therefore arguably even more important with Energy Psychology treatments than in conventional psychotherapy or medical interventions. E. METAPHYSICAL SUPERIMPOSITIONS. When a person consciously or unconsciously believes that a supernatural influence of some kind is involved in maintaining his/her problem, this belief is coded in their energy system. Examples: The only way I can be worthy in the eyes of God is to be a person who is suffering; if I stop suffering, the devil will have my soul. The root cause of this issue traces back to a previous lifetime, and it is my karmic debt to bear its burden. Often these deep beliefs will co-exist with a desire to be free of the problem. Regardless of the therapists judgment about these kinds of beliefs, if the body is coding a top priority issue within such metaphysical concepts, the objection should be treated within those terms, adapting the procedures used for other forms of psychoenergetic reversal. Believing in such phenomena is not a prerequisite for clearing these issues. It works just as well to view this as metaphoric or symbolic representation, so theres no need to view these energetic codings as any more literally true than, say, a representation of a past trauma that didnt literally necessarily occur exactly as its symbolically or metaphorically represented in the clients memory. (On the other hand, though, in some peoples cases, it may be unwise to completely dismiss this possibility of superimpositions as purely metaphorical. But this discussion goes beyond the parameters of the current article.) F. THE QUESTION OF INSIGHT. As a psychologist who loves to understand things and who has an extensive background in depth-oriented psychotherapy, my tendency is to want to have my clients understand the dynamics and nuances of their issues. I have colleagues at the other end of this spectrum, who would rather get on with the treatment either because they believe insight to be over-rated or because they believe that insight can wait until after the treatment is complete. One of the many liberating things about doing energy checking is that there is no longer a need to debate such issues. I now simply energy check my client in the following way: Does your system now understand all it needs to know about this issue in order to fully benefit from treating it? Until the energy check confirms that the answer to this question is, yes, I say to the client, If your system needed to understand more, or to have you acknowledge more, in order to become fully ready to clear this issue, what would that be? KEY #3: SELECT THE PRIORITY TREATMENT METHOD Once you have identified the top priority goal and treatment focus, and have established the clients conscious and unconscious readiness to benefit from treating the issue, the next question is: What is the best treatment: 1) for this person; 2) at this time; 3) for this treatment focus related to this goal, and 4) for this level/aspect of the treatment focus? While in most psychotherapeutic approaches this is the therapists call, based on clinical intuition, energy checking can be used to make these choice points highly explicit and to involve the clients intuitive knowledge in the moment-to-moment choice of treatment method. If you think of all the possible treatment methods as tools, these tools will be found in your own toolbox, in your clients toolbox, in the toolbox of the various possible referral sources you
and/or your client have at your disposal, and, if you are spiritually oriented, in the toolbox of that which represents Higher Wisdom to you and/or your client. Beyond interview questions that evoke the clients intuition about what will help, questions that can be energy checked might include: Is there a method in your toolbox that would be the priority treatment for this layer of the issue? I prefer to begin the process of selecting an intervention by calling upon the clients own resources. If the energy check shows that there is such a method in the clients toolbox, this can be discussed and pursued. If the energy check shows that there is not, the next question to energy check might be Is it in my toolbox? If yes, specific approaches might be checked: Is it Focusing? Is it a meridian-based treatment? Is it a chakra-based treatment? Is it EMDR? Is it Voice Dialogue? Is it biofeedback? If the client is particularly religious or spiritually attuned, I will also ask, Is it in Spirits toolbox? (where, in place of the term Spirit I use my clients preferred term, such as, Is it in Joes Angels toolbox?). This is done not as an artificial or laborious process that addresses every possibility, but rather as a way of attuning the clients and the therapists intuition to one another and verifying plans for taking the next step in the highest leverage way possible. If the discussion and energy checks show that the needed treatment is in neither the clients, the therapists nor Spirits toolbox, a question such as, Is it appropriate to incorporate some other referral source? might be explored, along with specific options such as naturopathic, craniosacral, or pharmacological treatments. If a series of options are explored and a direction established, but the process seems to have been a bit complex, it may also be useful before coming to a final conclusion to energy check and explore a question such as Is there any deception or error in the answers weve received? (Please keep in mind that this question is useful to periodically energy check at any point during diagnosis or treatment.) KEY #4: CONFIRM FULL COMPLETION OF THE TREATMENT A. SEARCH FOR HIDDEN ASPECTS. Treatment of the top priority treatment focus is not complete until every aspect and layer of that issue confirms has having been resolved. Sometimes we dont need conscious knowledge of all these layers in order to clear them our inner wisdom knows them for us. But, at other times, there are indeed layers that do need to be brought to conscious awareness before they can be cleared. Energy psychology provides the tools for doing both, and for discovering when to do which. Careful interviewing is combined with energy checks on questions such as, Is there anything weve missed? If the priority treatment focus was a trauma, the search for unresolved aspects may be as thoroughgoing as to ask the client to run through the trauma in slow motion and inquire, Do you get any discomfort when you get into the worst part of it? If not, move on. If so, introduce another round of treatment. And remember, theres no pressure to do all this in one session. As rapid as Energy Psychology treatment can be, a persons system can accommodate only so much change at any one point in time. So, if time runs out or if your clients system indicates that its done as much as it is ready for today feel content to leave the next step until the next session. B. FUTURE PACING TO IDENTIFY HIDDEN ASPECTS STILL NEEDING ATTENTION. Having clients mentally project themselves into a future situation that once would have evoked the problem state is another way to confirm if the treatment is complete. If anticipatory anxiety arises, or if any additional aspect surfaces as a result of this, introduce another round of treatment. If not, move on to the next step. C. FOUR LEVELS OF COMPLETENESS. Once the priority treatment focus appears to have been completely resolved, another method for confirming that this is the case, is to energy check each of the following completion checks, one by one:
This treatment is 100% and permanently complete. . . (versus There are limitations to the treatment or The benefits obtained during this treatment will be withdrawn from over time) -- In all parts of this person, known and unknown (speaking here of parts of self, such as ones inner critic, for instance) -- At all levels of this persons being, known and unknown (including the Body Level, Conscious Level, Unconscious Level and Soul/Spiritual Level, per Judith Swack) -- Throughout all dimensions and realms, known and unknown (waxing metaphysical here, to make sure we cover all bases in terms of the clients belief system) -- Throughout all time, past present and future If the energy check indicates that the treatment is not complete on one or more of these levels, further discussion is likely to identify its unresolved aspects. If the client is primarily interested in achieving their goal, and not so much in totally resolving this particular priority treatment focus, you can also muscle check to find out if this treatment is 100% and permanently complete on all levels, known and unknown, pertaining to the goal itself. If it is not, then another priority treatment focus needs to be identified and treated until the person has arrived at 100% blocks removal regarding the priority goal itself. D. PSYCHOEDUCATION ABOUT RESOURCES AND STRATEGIES. Just because a blockage or piece of baggage is removed, that doesnt necessarily mean that your client will automatically know how to behave differently from the old pattern. S/he may have some new knowledge or skills to acquire. Therefore, an important part of treatment checking the limitations of your results is to explore whether the client has the internal and external resources for optimal functioning in relation to the issue that has been successfully treated. Again, a simple interview will reveal much about whether critical resources are missing. You can, as always, also use energy checking to cross-verify the clients conscious awareness. This may lead to further therapy (e.g., for boundary-setting or reparenting), homework (e.g. listening to instructional audio tapes on basic emotional or practical skills), or referrals to community resources (e.g., vocational testing or classes on parenting or money management skills). E. HARVEST LEARNINGS: I believe we develop blockages partly as adaptations that allow us to cope with unresolved trauma, but also because these blockages are meant to teach us something important about ourselves, perhaps even on a soul level. I believe they are also often meant to teach us important things related to how the universe works, how we can be more loving in our relationships and effective in our careers, and how we can deepen our capacity to be of service to others. So, again, here is where my background as an insight-oriented psychologist, as well as a spiritually-oriented psychotherapist, influences me. I energy check my client to find out which categories the client has learnings to harvest (the additional category being other, of course), and I then have the clients energy system tell us how many learnings s/he has accumulated in each of these categories through the treatment weve just completed. I ask the client to write down the learnings and bring them back to be energy checked for accuracy (that is, is the learning worded 100% accurately, are there any additions, deletions or modifications, and are there any additional learnings the client missed in that category). F. IN-VIVO CONFIRMATION. The ultimate test of the treatment is whether the client responds differently in the situations that once evoked the problematic response. In my experience, when back home results are disappointing, it usually means we missed an aspect or layer of the issue. This becomes evident in the follow-up interview and leads to treatment of the aspect or layer that
had been neglected. (Again, knowing all of the key areas described in this paper make the troubleshooting process very efficient. Better yet, if you address each of these areas as you go along, youll have to go back and troubleshoot much less often!) KEY #5: UPGRADE THE UNDISTURBED STATE (OR THE PRIORITY GOAL) WITH PEAK FUNCTIONING OR EFFICIENCY A. PEAK FUNCTIONING. Energy Psychology methods can be used to help embed (or, to use a computer term, install) high level wellness, desired beliefs/emotions/goals/actions, peak performance, and the like. But, wait to begin this kind of embedding until after the blockages have first been removed. Why? Because if you try to install an upgrade over a pattern of disturbed meridian responses (or other energy blockages), you might help produce temporary symptom relief, but you will be pushing some important aspect of the underlying problem deeper rather than resolving all the blockages fully. A systematic approach to Energy Psychology treatment first removes the baggage of energy system disturbances so the client experiences an undisturbed response to the priority treatment focus. But, as valuable as that result is, we dont want to leave the client there. As they say, peace is not merely the absence of war. It is a state wholly unlike war. So, I believe that our job is not done until we help the client identify and psychoenergetically (or in whatever way is confirmed to be the priority treatment method) upgrade his/her internal state so that s/he functions optimally concerning the priority treatment focus. And after all the necessary priority treatment focuses have been treated and upgraded, then comes the icing on the cake, which is upgrading what I call Intentional Effectiveness regarding the clients priority goal. In this final key to successful Energy Psychology treatment, Intentional Effectiveness Upgrades are the focus. That said, there is one important caveat here: not every Priority Treatment Focus requires an upgrade, even though the priority goal itself virtually always will require one. So, before proceeding with an upgrade on a Priority Treatment Focus when the blockages have been 100% removed, energy check to find out if this person would benefit from doing an upgrade on this. If not, go back to the Priority Goal, and check to see if all blockages on this goal have been 100% removed. If not, start another round in order to identify the next Priority Treatment Focus. Whenever the Priority Goal confirms as having 100% of the blockages on it removed, it is time to do the upgrade round on the Priority Goal itself. B. ENVISION A WELL FORMED OUTCOME. As Stephen Covey says, Begin with the end in mind. Once the blocks are removed it becomes possible to envision the end in a more meaningful way. So, a first step toward this end is to help your client create a vivid, multisensory image of what in NLP is called a Well Formed Outcome. The client envisions how he or she ideally would like to be when in the kind of situation that once evoked the problem. This vision is cultivated and described using all 5 senses: What do you want to see, hear, feel, smell, taste? If the client is spiritually oriented, invite him/her to be shown this vision by his/her spiritual crew. C. INSTALLING THE WELL FORMED DESIRED OUTCOME IMAGE. Most Energy Psychology blockage-removal methods can be easily adapted in service of upgrading or installing positive states. Once you learn some Energy Psychology treatment protocols it will become obvious to you how to do this. Many of the leading Energy Psychology approaches also have their own procedure for doing upgrades. Youll find one such example in Energy Psychology Interactive: Fred Gallos Outcome Projection Procedure (introduced in the Closing Phases module). Installing the fully formed outcome vision using an Energy Psychology procedure is a powerful method for supporting peak functioning. Simply do a streamlined version of the relevant guidelines in Keys One through Four. Ill briefly describe how below.
D. UPGRADING VERSION OF KEY #1: By the time youve arrived in the upgrading phase, the main focus in the First Key will be to re-name his/her original goal in light of all the blockage removal that you have helped him/her do regarding this goal. Energy check to confirm that the wording is 100% accurate and complete, and that there is 100% permission to succeed with doing an upgrade. E. UPGRADING VERSION OF KEY #2: During upgrading the main focus in the Second Key will be the insight piece. In the case of upgrading, that piece is the Well Formed Outcomeif its even necessary. Again, as always, use energy checking to confirm whether this is necessary. Simply check to see if the clients system is already clear enough about the upgrade so that whatever confirms in the next step as the priority treatment will be successful. (Of course, if the clients system doesnt need to do the Well Formed Outcome step but s/he wants to do it anyway, thats perfectly fine!) F. UPGRADE VERSION OF KEY #3: Youll do the Third Key pretty much as its outlined, except with the focus on using the priority treatment for the purpose of upgrading. E. CHECK YOUR UPGRADING RESULTS: Youll use most of the sections covered in the Fourth Key above (Confirm Completion) to make sure youve truly completed the upgrade process. Once done, celebrate! AFTER COMPLETING TREATMENT OF THE PRIORITY TREATMENT FOCUS, RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL GOAL. Once you have confirmation that the priority treatment focus has been 100% treated, youll want to return to the original goal to find out if there are any additional blocks needing to be removed in order for the client to reach that goal. If so, identify the next priority treatment focus and go through the above steps. Continue this process until the client tests as having all blocks on the goal 100% cleared. When this is the case, go through all the items in this Fourth Key (Confirm Completion), checking them in reference to the original goal itself rather than any one priority treatment focus. Then go to the Fifth Key section above (Upgrades), also checking those items in reference to the original goal itself until that goal confirms via energy checking to be 100% upgraded. When youre done with this, youre done with the treatment! SUMMARY: Psychological interventions always occur within the larger container of the clienttherapist relationship. Energy Psychology interventions always occur within the larger container of the universe of potential psychotherapeutically helpful interventions. The five keys to successful treatment outlined here are a useful model to follow regardless of which psychotherapeutic methods you use. This road map attunes the therapist to ways of keeping the process proceeding in the most efficient way possible, largely through interview, intuition and energy checks, by focusing on the diagnostic and treatment issues that are most critical to successful outcome, as defined by the client: 1) Correctly identifying the overall goal and the treatment focus that will best help remove the clients blocks regarding that goal; 2) Establishing a psychological, energetic, and interpersonal readiness to benefit from the treatment; 3) Selecting the intervention that will be most powerful for addressing the top priority treatment focus; 4) Confirming that the treatment has been thorough and is complete; and 5) Replacing the now undisturbed energy system response with internal states that help the client function in an optimal way in relationship to his/her goal.

Integration of Human Energy Systems
Meridians Pathways of Qi or vital life force. Over 100 hundred meridians are known and used in Oriental medicine applications. Fourteen major pathways are currently known to influence emotions and psychological functioning. Acupoints are specific nodes along the meridians. Hundreds of acupoints are utilized in Oriental medicine to influence organ systems. Fourteen are used in Energy Psychology treatments. Electrically, the acupoints have a minute charge and act as relays of the charge, or flow, in the human body. Blockage of flow along the meridians causes stagnation, lack of vitality, and ultimately dis-ease. Biofield Vibrational emanations through and beyond the human body. The biofield may extend 1-10 or more feet beyond the body, depending on the essence and vital life force of the individual. The biofield is able to be seen by sensitives, and has a number of distinctive layers or fields. Scientific confirmation of this subtle energy emission has been obtained through SQID and other electromagnetically sensitive devices. Cohesion of the biofield is enhanced through setting of intent, centering and grounding practices. Chakras The seven major energy centers align with the human spinal column and act as vortices of energy, mediating inflow and outflow of Qi from the Universal Energy Field. Because these centers differ vibrationally in relation to the human body, each one has distinctive physiological effects. Because these centers differ vibrationally in relation to human consciousness, each one has distinctive psychological functions. (The seven major chakras are thus often referred to as centers of consciousness.) Other chakras exist at all joint intersections of the bodys 206 bones and at the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Alignment of the Human Energy System Integration of all aspects of the complex vibrational matrix of the human being can be achieved through: Breathing practices Qi Gung, Tai Qi Grounding and centering work Meditation, prayer Clear setting of ones intent Psychoenergetic non-polarization corrections, such as BBC, OEC & Jump Starts Specialized treatment of specific aspects of the biofield, centers or pathways that are not functioning properly (tapping, holding, modulating, clearing, smoothing, releasing)

Energy Psychology Glossary of Terms
Acupoints: Specific nodes along each meridian that can be used to diagnose or treat a problem. Acupuncture: The art and science of the ancient Chinese tradition of working with pathways of subtle energy flow in the body, known as meridians, via specific access points, called acupoints, to restore balance in the human energy system. Alarm Points: Specific acupoints used for diagnostic purposes, particularly in Applied or Clinical Kinesiology procedures. Algorithms: Sequences, in which specific sets of acupoints are treated in order to address a problem. Applied Kinesiology (AK): The discipline originally developed by George Goodheart, D.C., used to diagnose and guide treatment through measuring electrical output changes in the muscles in response to different acupoints being activated. AK was expanded by other chiropractors, including Beardall (Clinical Kinesiology). Much of Chiropractic treatment today is based on AK, and meridian-based energy psychology treatments owe their origins to AK. Aura: Metaphysical term for the human energy field (HEF), or biofield, that surrounds and interpenetrates with the physical body, its densest aspect. It consists of distinctive layers that correspond to physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and subtle aspects of the multidimensional human being. Balancing: Term used to describe the realignment of the HEF, or biofield, to its natural, highest vibrational function and structure. Biofield: A scientific term for the vibrational emanations that surround and extend beyond the human body, as measured by SQID and illustrated through such mechanisms as Kirlian Photography. Centering: The process of focusing ones attention and intention to be fully responsive and present to ones client, setting aside personal issues as well as any outcome expectations. Chi: Preferred spelling is Qi. Chinese term for energy or vital life force that acts as nourishing subtle energy circulating through the chakras, the meridians, and the human biofield. Also called prana, ki, or spiritus. Chakra: Sanskrit word, meaning spinning wheel, used to name the human energy centers, or vortices. Also known as centers of consciousness due to the psychological, developmental properties of each center. Clairaudience: The ability to hear words, sounds, or rhythms beyond ordinary hearing perception to intuitive, higher sense perception. Clairsentience: The ability to use the intuitive aspect of touch to detect subtle temperature changes, textures, vibrations, or other kinesthetic phenomena. Clairvoyance: The ability to see beyond ordinary sensory perception of sight to sense color, shapes, or images with intuitive higher sense perception. In French, it means, clear seeing. Clearing: The facilitators hand movements in or above the biofield that facilitate the release of energy blockage. Synonymous with discharging, releasing, unforming, letting go, smoothing or unruffling of the HEF.
Clinical Kinesiology (CK): Developed by Alan Beardall, D.C., is an expansion of the Applied Kinesiology approach that is widely used among Chiropractors and practitioners of meridianbase energy psychology approaches. Comprehensive Energy Psychology: Energy Psychology interventions that combine all aspects of working with the human vibrational matrix to assist in emotional, cognitive and spiritual healing, and the psychotherapeutic process. This human vibrational matrix includes the biofield, chakra and meridian system (and related acupoints). Consciousness: The primary human essence, the continuing sense of oneself, that is present both in waking states as well as in altered states of awareness, such as meditation, dreaming, trancestates, or near-death experiences (NDE). Differentiating: Refers to a polarized state in which muscle testing yields opposite muscle responses to contrasting pairs of statements, diagnostic tests or treatment interventions. Energy Blockage: A general term referring to the interruption or constriction of the natural flow patterns in the human vibrational matrix. May refer to a closed or diminished chakra, asymmetry in the biofield, or non-polarity and psychoenergetic reversal of the meridian flows. Energy Center: Chakra (Sanskrit). A specific center of consciousness in the human vibrational matrix, that allows for the exchange of qi to and from the Universal Energy Field. In relation to the physical body, the energy centers convert the inflow of subtle energy into chemical, hormonal, and cellular changes. There are seven major energy centers in relation to the spine, and minor centers at all bone articulations, in the palms of the hands, and at the soles of the feet. Energy Healing: Broad term used to describe interventions that address the releasing of energetic blockage or imbalance, followed by repatterning, balancing, and aligning of the human vibrational matrix to higher levels of functioning. Energy Psychology: A family of treatments for assisting in treatment of a range of psychological issues, utilizing one or more aspects of a persons energy/electrical system. Eye Roll (er): A brain balancing procedure used to anchor a treatment effect at the end of a procedure (also see Nine Gamut Procedure). Grounding: Connecting to the earth and earths energy field to calm the mind and balance the vibrational matrix. Healing: The ongoing evolution toward higher levels of functioning in the multidimensional human being. Holistic Health: An integrated approach to human wellbeing that addresses all aspects of the person, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, in the interaction with his/her environments. Hologram: The three-dimensional image created by the interference pattern of two interacting laser beams. Any part of the hologram contains the information of the whole. The human mind appears to function as a hologram, allowing a single word or image to generate a whole complex of inner experiences. Human Energy System: The entire interactive dynamic of human subtle energies consisting of the chakras, the multidimensional field, the meridians and their acupoints; the human vibrational matrix. Imagery: Broad concept that involves thoughts, feelings and sensations associated with a symbolic representation. The symbols may be generated from all of the senses: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, taste and smell.
Intention: Holding of ones inner awareness and focus to accomplish a specific task or activity; being fully present in the moment. Kundalini: In Yogic philosophy, the creative energy of spiritual illumination that is stored at the base of the spine. As the individual progresses in his path of awareness, the kundalini begins to flow upward and to activate the higher centers of consciousness. Forcing the process too quickly may cause uncomfortable vibrations, or spasms, known as kryas. Meridians: The subtle pathways of the qi that course through the human body. Specific vessels through which energy is conducted, used in Chinese health treatment approaches. According to Oriental medicine, these hundreds of flow lines correspond to specific organs and physiological systems. Fourteen of the most major meridians are addressed in emotional acupuncture sometimes called energy psychotherapy. Neurologic Disorganization (ND): The term most frequently used by practitioners to describe the state a person is in when his/her electrical/energy system is not properly polarized Neurologic Disorganization (ND) causes muscle testing to be Non-Differentiating (ND). Neurolymphatic Reflex Spots (NLR): Locations where the energy system, lymphatic system and neurological system appear to converge. These sports are connected to specific organs and systems. Chiropractic procedures often incorporate treatment of these spots. Nine Gamut Treatment: A brain balancing/integration procedure used to anchor a treatment effect while in the midst of a procedure (also see Eye Roll). Non-Differentiating: Refers to a non-polarized state in which muscle testing that yields the same muscle responses to contrasting pairs of statements, diagnostic tests or treatment interventions. Non-Polarized (NP) a condition in which a persons overall electromagnetic/energy/meridian system output is too low or too high. Over-Energy Correction (OEC): One intervention for treating System Psychoenergetic Imbalances in order to restore proper polarization to a persons energy/electromagnetic system. Prana: Eastern Indian word for the vital life force, or qi. Pranayama is the ongoing study of practices to activate this flow of subtle energy. Properly Polarized (PP): A condition in which a persons overall electromagnetic/energy/ meridian system output is at proper levels (i.e., neither over-energized nor under-energized), and where their electromagnetic systems north and south poles are in their proper location. Psychoenergetic Healing: A form of healing practice that interrelates psychological insights with understanding of the human vibrational matrix. Psychoenergetic Reversal (PR): Types of Reverse Polarity (also referred to as Psychological Reversal); the three types of PR, in order of severity, are Global PR (gPR), Issue-Specific PR (sPR) and Completely-Level PR (cPR). Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI): Medical term for the evolving discipline that studies interaction between the body and mind, the emotions, neurotransmitters, and the immune system to understand dis-ease and to facilitate well-being. Relaxation Response: Term coined by Dr. Herbert Benson to refer to the systemic responses and restorative results of activating the parasympathetic nervous system through meditative, or centering, practices.
Reverse Polarity: A condition in which a persons electromagnetic/energy/meridian system output is in the normal range, but the direction of his/her electromagnetic current flow is the opposite of what it should be. (This condition is roughly similar to if an artery were pumping blood back toward the heart rather than away from the heart.) Sensitive: A person who is able to use the intuitive higher sense perception to assess the human energy system and other subtle energies. Switched: Another term for being non-polarized (NP), used by some chiropractors and acupuncturists. Systemic Psychoenergetic Disruption/Imbalance: A term for the psychological problems that are thought to arise from being improperly polarized (Non-Polarized or Reverse Polarity). Transpersonal: Term coined by Drs. Abraham Maslow, Anthony Sutich, and Stanislav Grof, founders of the Association of Transpersonal Psychology, to describe the psychological realm beyond the personal, reaching to the wider, spiritual dimension of human experience. Universal Energy Field (UEF): Term used by Barbara Brennan to describe the infinite resource of energy that surrounds and interpenetrates all aspects of the Universe. Other terms include Source, All That Is, The Ground of Being, Creative Spirit, Unity Consciousness, Great Mind, Nonlocal Mind, and Good Orderly Direction (GOD). Unruffling: Term coined by Dr. Dolores Krieger to suggest the clearing or smoothing of a ruffled or disturbed area in the biofield. Unswitched: Another term for being properly polarized (PP), used by some chiropractors and acupuncturists.

Energy Psychology-Relevant Research Summaries
Human Electromagnetic Fields

Dr. Harold Burr, Professor of Neuroanatomy at Yale University, established in 1935 that all living matter, from a seed to a human being, is surrounded and controlled by electrodynamic fields. This energy envelope around the body is a kind of electronic mold. As the body renews itself, this force field ensures that the new tissue takes the proper shape. Dr. Leonard Ravitz, a Yale neuropsychiatrist, subsequently found that the mind could influence this force field around the body. Measuring this electromagnetic field on the skin, Ravitz found he could even determine a persons state of mind and depth of hypnosis (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 74). Dr. Alexander Studitsky at the Institute of Animal Morphology in Moscow minced up muscle tissue and packed it into a wound in a rats body. The body grew from this an entirely new muscle, as if there were some sort of organizing pattern (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 218). W.P. Bentley, an American neurologist found he could pick up traces of the electrical field pattern of the missing limb of the salamander (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 218). In photos shown us by Soviet scientists, we saw that if part of the physical body of a living thing is cut away, an energy body remains, whole and clearly visible in a high frequency field. When this energy body itself disappears, the plant or the animal dies (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 218). In axolotls and frogs, outward current can be detected at the site of future limb buds several days before the first cell growth (Nuccitelli, 1988).
Impact of Astronomical Electromagnetic Phenomena on the Human Energy Field

Physicist Dr. Konstantin Kobyizev of Moscow University has stated, In the years of higher solar activity magnetic storms spring up, which is why electrocommunications sometimes break down completely, why the number of suicides, psychoses, automobile crashes and deaths of people with sever heart trouble increases. Years of minimal sun activity correspond with epidemics of other illnesses such as diphtheria and with earthquakes (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 129). Support for these observations comes from many scientists in the West as well. Professor Cecil Maby found that the 11-year sunspot cycle has a clear effect on meteorology, plant growth and even human industrial productivity. Dr. Leonard Ravitz reported phases of the moon, the suns position, cosmic and gamma rays, sunspot radiation, and other disturbances of the earths magnetic field have an impact on our bodies. His discovery of the cyclic nature of these influences lent impetus to the study of biorhythms (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 129). Dr. Robert Becker of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Syracuse, New York, revealed at a space symposium in 1962 that subtle changes in the earths magnetic fields (caused by the sun, moon and planets) actually alter the energy field of the human body, which in turn affects the nervous system. (Becker, Robert, Relationship of a Geo-Magnetic Environment to Human Biology, New York State Journal of Medicine, Vol. 63, No. 15, 1963, as reported in Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 129).
Muscle Testing
Daniel Monti, M.D., a psychiatrist at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA, 19107-5004, conducted a randomized, controlled, single-blind clinical trial of the effectiveness of muscle testing on 89 college students. Subjects were muscle tested after repetitions of congruent (true) and incongruent (false) self-referential statements, using a computerized dynamometer. Approximately 17% more total force over a 59% longer period of time was required for muscle to give way in subjects when exposed to the congruent statements (p<.0001). The conclusion of the study was that subjects can offer more resistance during muscle testing in the presence of congruent statements as compared to incongruent ones. Other controlled studies cited by the International College of Applied Kinesiology report approximately 90% inter-rater reliability among experienced muscle testers who have received legitimate training in these methods (Lawson & Calderon, Interexaminer reliability of applied kinesiology manual muscle testing. Perceptual and Motor Skills, 84, 539-546).
Acupuncture
In 1997, the National Institute of Health and the FDA accepted acupuncture as a legitimate treatment approach worthy of significant amounts of federal research funding moneys. The meridian system is a distinct signal transduction system that can be measured by instruments such as SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device). It overlaps and interacts with other systems but is not simply a part of the nervous system or circulatory system. (From Shang, Charles, Boston University School of Medicine, A model of the meridian system and the mechanism of acupuncture [review of the research literature], 1999. Available at http://www.people.virginia.edu/~pjb3s/QiGongbyChengShang.txt also, Shang can be e-mailed at cshang@acs.bu.edu) A recent study using MRI testing (Cho, et. al., Science, March, 1998) confirms that the optical meridian points on the foot, known in Oriental medicine for thousands of years, do in fact stimulate the occipital/vision regions in the brain (as cited by Hover in Comprehensive Energy Psychology, San Diego Psychologist, May, 1999). In the Kirlians tiny room, as Dr. Mikhail Kuzmich Gaikin, a Leningrad surgeon, reviewed pictures of a human being under high-frequency fields, he noticed that the spots where lights flared most brilliantly appeared to match acupuncture points. Just possibly, the Kirlian discovery might have provided the first scientific confirmation of this 5000 year-old system of medicine (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 227). The pattern of electric currents on the human scalp mapped by a SQID, shows that the Governing Vessel is a major pathway of electrical currents on the scalp, and that it also divides the scalp into two domains of different electric current directions (Cohen, et. al., Magnetic fields produced by steady currents in the body, Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, 1980). A model has been proposed that acupuncture points are organizing centers in morphogenesis (Shang, Singular point, in American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1989). Intrinsic electric fields and currents are important factors in growth control, cell migration and morphogenesis: A variety of cells including neurons, myoblasts and fibroblasts are sensitive to electric fields of physiological strength (Erickson, Morphogenesis of the neural crest, in Developmental Biology, 1985).
Some fast growing tissues, particularly tumors, are electrically negative in polarity. If a current from the positive pole is applied over certain tumors, its growth can show significant retardation or even regression (Becker and Marino, Electromagnetism and Life, 1982). Malfunctions of some organs can be preceded by change of electric parameters from normal range and treated by manipulation of indicated acupoints. Small perturbations around singular points can have a decisive effect on a system. As a technique of perturbation of singular points, acupuncture can be effective in treating various diseases, such as the common cold, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, myopia, diarrhea, constipation, gastric and duodenal ulcers, diabetes, emesis, enuresis, postmenopausal syndrome, obesity, stroke, hypertension and cardiac arrest (from Shang, ibid.). Small perturbations at singular points elicit a shock to the system activates and shakes the biological system out of its abnormal state. After activation, the system has a better chance to settle at a normal, more stable state. This may explain why there have been few negative side effects of these techniques when properly administered. The therapeutic effect can be achieved by a variety of stimuli, including electricity, needling, temperature variation, laser and pressure (from Shang, ibid.).
Evidence of Efficacy of Energy Psychology Treatments

TFT & Trauma: One study comparing the effectiveness various Power Therapies in treating PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), showed that meridian work (TFT was the variety used in the study) was the most effective method for relieving PTSD symptoms, of those tested (Figley & Carbonnel, Treating PTSD: What Approaches Work Best?, an invited Symposium at the Family Therapy Networker conference in Washington, DC, March, 1995; also reported in Gallo, Energy Psychology, 1998). EFT & Peak Performance: Pat Ahearne, a pitcher with the Australian Baseball League, was dissatisfied with his pitching. He sought out the help of an Australian psychologist named Steve Wells, who treated him with EFT. Ahearne states, As anyone who has competed in athletics can say, the difference between an average athlete and the elite player is much more mental than physical. In an effort to bring my mental preparation for baseball to the same level as my physical preparationI wanted to access my best performances more often and in the most pressure filled situations. The results [with EFT] were astounding. I had more consistency, better command of my pitches, and accomplished it in big games with less mental effort. Ahearnes Earned Run Average (as well as all other relevant pitching statistics) was vastly different before and after EFT treatments, comparing a similar number of innings pitched (in the 40s). For instance, his ERA was 3.33 before treatment and 0.87 after treatment. Ahearne credits EFT with improving his pitching: he captured the MVP award from his Perth Heat baseball team, as well as the Australian Baseball League Pitcher of the Year award, after receiving EFT treatment. Therapeutic Touch & Biofield Treatment Effects: A double-blind study demonstrated physical effects of clearing congestion in the biofield consistently result in decreased pain sensation, relief of tension, deep relaxation, a sense of wellbeing, increased immune system function, and even accelerated wound healing. (Wirth, D. The effect of non-contact therapeutic touch on the healing rate of full thickness dermal wounds. Journal of Subtle Energies, Vol. 1:1, 1991.) (Dr. Dorothea Hover-Kramer reports, in her article, Comprehensive Energy Psychology [San Diego Psychologist, May, 1999, Vol. 8 #5], that Therapeutic Touch has been carefully researched in hundreds of projects and many doctoral dissertations.)
Therapeutic Touch & Hospitalized, Severely Disturbed Adolescents: After receiving three treatments of energy balancing, administered without physical touch to the biofield surrounding the body, these adolescents reported a significant increase in personal self-control, efficacy and self-esteem. Most importantly, the teens could continue applications of these methods for ongoing self-care and a sense of personal empowerment. (Hughes, P.P. et. al. Therapeutic Touch with adolescent psychiatric patients. Journal of Holistic Nursing. Vol. 14:1. March, 1996, p. 6-23, as reported by Hover-Kramer, D., in Comprehensive Energy Psychology. San Diego Psychologist, May, 1999, Vol. 8 #5.)
Impacts of One Persons Energy Field on Another

At the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, research headed by Dr. Abram Hoffer and Dr. Harold Kelm has been conducted on measuring energy fields at a distance. (NASA has also conducted research on energy fields.) In the Canadian research, they used a detector invented by an American, David Thomson, which consists of two capacitor plates, a preamplifier, and a line recorder like that of an electrocardiograph. This detector was believed to chart a persons biofield emanations at a distance. For instance, as a patient walked into the room, the detector was able to determine at a distance whether his anxiety level was high, medium or low. Thompson, assisted by Dr. Jack Ward, of Trenton, New Jersey, had discovered that a persons energy field detects the frequencies of the fields of other people at a distance and is affected by them. Says Thompson, peoples energy fields immediately sense fear, aggression, panic, or friendliness in another person. To prove his point, he built a transmitter to send out anxiety waves an electromagnetic field mimicking that emitted by an extremely anxious person. People reacted sharply to them. Thompson reported he could clear a crowded room in fifteen minutes flat by turning on the transmitter (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 406-7.).
Breath (Prana) and the Energy Field

How do we replenish our energy body? Kazakh scientists discovered its the oxygen we breathe that converts some of its surplus electrons and a certain quantum of energy into the energy body. In the silent high-frequency discharge, they could actually see this process as it occurred. Breathing, it seems, charges the entire energy body and renews our reserves of vital energy and helps to equalize disturbed energy patterns (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 218).
Dowsing
U.S. Marine divisions have used dowsing rods for survival purposes: to successfully locate tunnels, booby traps and sunken mortar shells (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 186). Dowsing in the former USSR had become a legitimate field of scientific study by the 1960s. Major geology institutes in Moscow and Leningrad have large groups of geologists, geophysicists and physiologists all researching dowsing. The Russians have piled up stacks of data on dowsing (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 186). Dr. Nicolai Siochevanov stated that his dowsing team was able to clearly locate ore deposits only three inches thick at a depth of more than 150 yards (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 191). Dr. S. Tromp of Holland discovered that dowsers could chart an artificial magnetic field as tiny as 0.001 gauss in a room (Ostrander & Schroeder, 1970, pg. 193).
Physics Experiments Appearing to Support Concepts of Non-Local Influence (Treatment by Intention)

Non-Local Communication: Clauser and Stewart, 1972, proved Bells Theorem. Pairs of entangled photons, split at a crystal, were sent their separate ways, seven miles apart, with each allowed to choose either a long route or a short route. Even with no physical connection or signal between them, each photon knew what choice the other had made and matched its behavior to that of its twin. This experiment demonstrated that non-local communication between particles would have had to occur at minimum speeds of 10,000 times the speed of light. In measuring entangled photons, it was even found that measuring one photons polarization causes the other photon of the pair to acquire the opposite polarization at the same instant, no matter how far away it is (Science News, Vol. 153, page 41). Instant Transport: Science News reported in their January 17, 1998 issue (Vol. 153, page 41) that two separate research groups had achieved quantum teleportation in the laboratory (beam me up Scotty!). These studies have demonstrated that instantaneous transfer of a quantum state from one particle to another not only can occur, but this instantaneous transfer can be made across the room or across the galaxy. The report went so far as to state that this quantum state transfer could be thought of as a message. This substantiated a January 14, 1995 report in Science News (page 30) that teleportation of the quantum states of particles appears so reliable that it is likely to become an important tool in efforts to design, build and operate quantum computers and quantum information systems (the next generation in computing). Verification of instantaneous transmission of information over long distances may support the possibility that our thoughts can have effects on others, even at a distance. This seems to be substantiated by research studies on the impact of prayer reported by Dr. Larry Dossey in his books on that subject (including Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine, 1995). Additional verification seems to have come from a double-blind controlled study published in December, 1998, in which AIDS patients at a San Francisco Bay Area clinic were treated from afar by alternative healers over a multiple week period. These healers were of range of varying disciplines, from Native American to Tibetan to Christian healers, etc.. None was from Northern California. All were given a photograph of the patient and asked to do their form of healing by intention for a specific amount of time each day for a weeks period. Patients were rotated to another healer for the following week. Proper sampling procedures were used in order to rule out sampling bias variables. The outcome criterion was the number of doctor visits during the treatment period among treatment group members and control group members. Neither patients nor their physicians knew who was in the treatment group and who wasnt. No significant difference in efficacy was found among the different healers, but the treatment group did indeed have statistically significantly lower rates of doctors appointments than the control groups. This study, the prayer studies Dossey cites, and the physics teleportation studies all may be demonstrating that quantum teleportation not only is a bona fide phenomenon, but it is an information transfer method that people use, be it randomly, intuitively or by conscious design. Tunneling: In experiments that appear to defy the laws of matter, electrons shot at an impenetrable barrier very reliably show up on the other side. The thicker the barrier, the faster they appeared on the other side. This may demonstrate that information can be successfully transmitted not only despite barriers, but because of them! This phenomenon is so reliable that it is now being used in new technologies that are being developed (cited in Nicosia, 1999).
