taught her that she could stand more fear than she previously thought
possible. She could sit in a deck chair, ten yards from the swimming pool,
but she was white-knuckled with terror in spite of everything we did."
When Mary described the "knot in her stomach" that accompanied her fear,
Dr Callahan reached over to tap below her eye with his fingers on a point
connected to the stomach meridian. "It's gone!" she exclaimed, and has
been free of her fear ever since.
Dr Callahan devoted his life and practise from this moment onwards to
developing a treatment approach to help people overcome crippling fears,
phobias and mental problems of all kinds. His approach is called TFT or
Thought Field Therapy and is still in use today. TFT uses just 14 basic
meridian points, and the order and sequence of how they are stimulated by
lightly tapping upon them is diagnosed through muscle testing for
individual problems.
In 1996, Gary Craig, a successful businessman and a student of Dr
Callahan's had the brilliant idea of creating a simple technique that would
cover all the 14 points by default - this removed the need for extensive
muscle testing and diagnostic training and provided a comprehensive
therapeutic tool which is unprecedented in its ease of use, and in its
astonishing effectiveness.
Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT for short - is one of the
easiest and most effective and efficient therapeutic approaches imaginable,
providing fast, effective and usually permanent relief for psychological,
physical and neuro-physiological problems. These techniques have been
described as one of the most important breakthroughs in the area of mind-
body healing in the last hundred years. Already thousands upon thousands
of people all over the world have benefited from using EFT, and it is
rapidly becoming known as a modern day miracle, capable of dramatically
relieving emotional disturbances and physical problems.
Thousands of professional therapists testify to EFT's unique ability to bring
rapid and permanent relief from:
Addictive cravings, allergies, anxiety & panic attacks, anger, compulsions
& obsessions, depression & sadness, dyslexia, fears & phobias, grief &
loss, guilt, insomnia, disturbing memories, nightmares, pain management,
physical conditions & healing, post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD,

sexual abuse issue, limiting beliefs and blocks to self-esteem and peak
performance in business, the arts, and sports, and many, many more.
EFT, the "Ambassador of Meridian Therapies", has one further and most
remarkable aspect. It is designed so that once you have learned this simple
technique, you can easily use it at home at any time, in any place, in any
situation, without any further training - which represents a tremendous help
for ongoing problems such as addictions, weight loss, and depression
where relief is needed at home and on a regular basis. In spite of its
apparent simplicity and ease of use, EFT produces highly beneficial,
lasting results in 85% - 95% of cases.
All meridian energy therapies are gentle, rapid and startlingly effective.
It is not uncommon for long-standing or chronic pain to be released
entirely in less than half an hour. Similarly, psychological pain such as
anxiety, depression and addictions, caused by traumatic incidents or
childhood memories can often be relieved fully in a single treatment
session.
Since Thought Field Therapy revolutionised the way psychological and
neuro-physiological problems are being treated with its unprecedented
success rate, many other forms of meridian-based healing have proven
themselves to be highly effective. As more and more innovative therapists
move into the rapidly expanding field of Meridian Energy Therapies, new
and different approaches are being developed.
Other Meridian Energy Therapies include:
BSFF – Be Set Free Fast
TAT - Tapas Acupressure Technique
Seemorg Matrix Work
ET - EmoTrance Energy Healing
The basic ideas and approaches involved in Meridian Therapies are
stunningly simple, and the techniques lend themselves perfectly to be used
by professional therapists in combination with their existing mind-body
healing modalities.

What would you say if I told you I know of a simple method that can make
emotional stress, upset, anger, fear, concern and distress simply melt away
in a few minutes and all you had to do to achieve this is simply touch a few
special points on your face and hands?
One of the most important innovations in psychology for the last 20 years
is about to come to the awareness of the public – Emotional Freedom
Techniques or EFT for short.
Based on the ancient Chinese system of body meridians, it doesn’t use
needles but instead soothes and stimulates the energy flow by gently
tapping on main acupuncture points.
EFT is so simple that even a young child can learn to do it in minutes.
It is so profoundly relaxing and re-charging that even therapists of 40 years
experience or more simply shake their heads in wonder and declare they
have never seen anything like it.
EFT has such beneficial effects on physical systems and overall mind-body
health that thousands of healing professionals are training in the new
meridian therapies to offer relief from insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress
related illnesses, tension-induced pains and aches, migraines, headaches
and much, much more.

minutes, ensures that users need know nothing at all about meridians or the
finer points of traditional Chinese medicine to experience profound relief
right away.
What’s more, the basic EFT protocol is absolutely free and freely available
to try out and for you to share with friends, loved ones and anyone else you
wish to share it with.
“This is just too good to keep to ourselves,” says Gary. “Everyone should
know about it and have a chance to be able to help themselves in a moment
of crisis or of desperation.”
When someone is calm and relaxed, the flow of energy through the
meridian system likewise is calm and steady.
Emotional upset of any kind – anger, rage, fear, panic, unhappiness, stress
– affects the energy flow immediately since both are intimately linked and
part of the same system. The energy flow becomes disturbed and distressed
as our thoughts and emotions spiral off the calm centred state. In the
1970’s, Dr Roger Callahan found that instead of trying to control our
thoughts or emotions which is such a difficult thing, you could re-create
the calm state of Even Flow by touching the meridian system instead. Once
the meridian system has calmed, the mind and body cannot help but follow
and tranquillity and balance are restored as if by magic.
Everyone who has experienced the calm and restful state that follows a
good massage, or has been treated with acupuncture for example, knows
that working directly with the meridian system really produces profound
changes in how we feel inside.
The great advance of the new meridian therapies, of which EFT is the
ambassador, is to focus the mind on a particular disturbance whilst
stimulating the energy system at the same time. By thinking about your
problem, you automatically target the right parts of your meridian system
and even without years of study, that’s something anyone can do.
11
The AMT Yearbook 2003
And what could be more appropriate than having something that can help
you right in a middle of crisis? That is the time when your mind is
absolutely focussed on the problem; in many cases such as physical pain or
severe upset, it is the only thing we can think about.
Whilst we are in the crisis we are in the perfect place to use EFT to target
the root causes of the problem and help alleviate the symptoms and
disturbances swiftly.
A Miracle Technique?
EFT has certainly been described in those terms, and not just once but ten
thousand times, by very different people with very different problems, by
professionals and simple folk alike, all around the world. In general, at
least half of those who try it for the first time experience immediate relief
and relaxation; another quarter will experience this profound release with a
little more practise. It doesn’t work for everyone, but even if it just
manages to take the edge off an anxiety, a fear, or an anger for you
personally, that could be a starting point to a whole new level of happiness
and health. As the basic protocol is freely available, I encourage you to
simply try it for yourself. It has helped me immensely and I cannot rate
EFT highly enough. You have absolutely nothing to lose, but you could
gain the very real possibility of absolute “Emotional Freedom at your
Fingertips”.

Touch & Breathe (TAB) by John Diepold, which is based on Gary Craig's EFT - Emotional Freedom
Techniques, which is derived from Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy (TFT). It is a gentle and
mindful first introduction to the concepts of the Meridian Energy Therapies for with those who find
tapping too “strange”.

Transforming anger

The AMT Yearbook 2003
It's easy to imagine how such an experience would have made a deep
impression on a little girl, raw with grief, with everyone treating her a bit
'differently.' So, off we went again, with Kelly repeating the key word
‘hurt’ as she moved through the treatment sequence. On completion of that
round, I asked her again how she felt.
‘Now, even that doesn't seem to be the problem,' she responded again.
‘Can you tell us what it is, now?’ I probed, gently. Looking a little
bewildered by the revelation, Kelly replied, ‘Yes, What I'm in touch with
now is how much I hate my father. It seems as if I always have.’
After another round of tapping on the hatred towards her father, Kelly’s
eyes filled with tears as she connected with her grief as a six-year-old. ‘All
I wanted was comfort and closeness’ she whispered. And following a
further round of tapping, her face glowed with wonder and warmth as she
said, ‘My poor dad. He had his own problems at the time. What a pity
I’ve held that against him all these years. We both cut ourselves off from
the one person we could have been closest to. Now I want to call him and
see what we can do to re-connect.’
And this is exactly what she did after the close of the workshop, and, with
shared tears of regret and relief, she and her father found their way back to
each other.

gradually and cumulatively aligns more and more of us with our intentions,
increasing the coherence and congruence of our system at all levels,
enhancing the effectiveness of all we do. This clarity of intention and
congruence is often seen among experienced meditators, healers and
martial artists, as well as among some professionals in the creative arts and
others who also pursue a daily discipline of focused attention to their inner
process and connection with the Source of healing and inspiration.

Along with the alphabet soup of techniques in this field, comes a plethora
of acronyms, of which BSFF takes the prize. The full title, Be Set Free
Fast is itself an acronym for Behavioural and Emotional Symptom
Elimination Training For Resolving Excess Emotion: Fear, Anger, Sadness
and Trauma. BSFF was developed by another of Callahan's early students,
Dr Larry Nims, a California psychologist whose enthusiasm and dedication
are legendary in the field. Nims first developed a shortcut tapping
treatment focused on releasing all the trauma, anger, fear and sadness
associated with a problem, and treating all the emotional roots and the
deepest cause.
Eager to miss no opportunity for making life better, more enjoyable, and
'free,' Dr Nims has become famous for introducing "you can treat that," as
a catch phrase. I recall a lunch at which I heard that gentle reminder
numerous times as I fumed over the slow, neglectful service. To make on-
the-spot treatment as quick and easy as possible, Nims sought a virtually
automatic technique and developed the first "instant" treatment.
Practitioners and clients are amazed by the way the use of a simple "cue"
word can trigger quite remarkable changes, making this approach ideal for
discreet use in pressured situations in public, as well as for tracking
quickly through the many layers and networked elements of problems to
reach all the emotional roots and the deepest cause.
Recently, Don Elium, an American colleague and developer of integrative
States therapy, was given the opportunity to be the "relationship therapist
expert" on a reality television programme. He wrote, " I am SO grateful
for BSFF and my instant cue word. When on camera (two to three hours at
a time, and then only a few minutes are actually used for the final show),
often I have found myself 'out of my body' looking down on the scene,
only to sound the BSFF cue word, and pop, I am back inside myself.
BSFF has helped me perform under incredible pressures as I have gone
inward, sounded my cue word, and been able to bring myself back to the
present. The constant changes, the constant conflicts, the constant
challenges and the constant newness of the experience pressures me to shut
down over and over again, but BSFF helped me do my best."

EmoTrance

Within a very short time, her hands had described a pathway down from
the original constriction in her chest, to her solar plexus, then out to the
sides of her body and around to her back, then up her spine and out the top
of her head. To continue the process, I repeated again, “You are such a
pathetic and shallow person,” she flinched a bit, and found more energy
blocked in her chest. Again that flowed down, around and back up her
spine and out the top of her head. I said it again, and this time she actually
smiled a bit, and her hands moved very quickly and smoothly down,
around and back up to the top of her head. And when I said it to her one
more time, she was grinning as the energy moved so swiftly and smoothly
through her that she could barely follow it with her hands. And she just
stood there looking extremely pleased with herself, feeling happy, and
positively feasting on the energy of her worst nightmare of an insult.

The AMT Yearbook 2003
Many of our healing systems have their basis in a variety of maps, codified
ages ago. Most of us are familiar with the detailed meridian charts from
Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Thai use yet a different set of energy
pathways? And there are as many others as there are healing cultures: the
Ayurvedic, Jin Shin Jitsu, reflexology and auricular acupuncture, the
neuro-lymphatic and neuro-vascular systems and many others. Rather than
select or combine these maps, with EmoTrance we rely on direct feedback
to guide us through the uniquely individual energy systems of our clients.
EmoTrance uses direct kinaesthetic feedback to localise the actual position
of the disturbance in the energy body which has been causing the
emotional pain. It then treats this energy disturbance with the application
of intention, which moves energy and restores even flow, leading to
symptom alleviation and improved functioning of the energy system. It
helps us to use the systems we have been given to naturally process all the
energies we encounter. Every time we do EmoTrance, we are clearing the
channels, restoring the even flow, opening up our energy systems to be
able to accept and make use of more and more of the vital energy nutrients
available to us in this Universe of abundance.

next thought I had was that I wanted the tension back. I had lived with it
for so long that it had seemed a part of me. I closed my eyes again, but it
wasn’t there, and I couldn’t get it to come back, no matter how hard I
focused on the memory.’
To see such rapid and deep transformation in someone’s face and posture
as the burden of a past trauma or current fear is resolved, to hear their
voice become steadier, firmer, more confident as they let go of the past and
connect with what now becomes possible for them - this is what moves
many sceptics from incredulity to amazement as they learn how energy
psychology enables this to happen again and again.
In the hands of professionally-trained therapists, energy psychology
approaches provide a quantum leap in psychological healing. As self-help
techniques, they are always at our fingertips for emotional first aid even in
our darkest hours at 4 am, when no therapist, friend or priest is available,
and whenever we are ready and willing to work on our own healing and
growth.

You will find a full EFT protocol in the “Techniques & Protocols” section;
this is quite enough to get you started, to try it out for yourself and to get a
sense of the power of this seemingly simple technique.
To learn EFT properly and to understand the principles behind its use as
well as to learn how to apply EFT for many particular situations, the
Association for Meridian Energy Therapies recommends “Adventures In
EFT” by Silvia Hartmann, PhD, which provides a solid foundation for self-
help as well as for practitioners beginning to use EFT with clients.
The AMT also recommends Gary Craig’s DVD/video series (available
from www.emofree.com) which is full of practical examples and live
sessions.
A good grounding in EFT is the best springboard to begin to explore the
other major MET systems.
In practise, MET therapists and healers rarely use only one MET approach
but indeed, have a range of techniques at their disposal to suit individual
client preferences.
It is also recognised that treating clients in a professional setting with
METs requires very different approaches and mind set from traditional
counselling and psychotherapy; so for healing practitioners who wish to
use METs with clients, the next step is to seek out a practitioner
certification training.
All the meridian energy therapies systems have in common that they can
produce profound changes very rapidly; they can uncover unconscious
materials, bring about insights and cognition and very strongly impact
clients' emotional states and behaviour.
The techniques and systems, even though they are diverse, are grouped in
this field because they are all working with the underlying principle that
disturbances result from problems in the energy system, and all the systems
treat the energy system to heal and/or remove these disturbances.
31
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Although the means by which this healing is delivered are different – for
example, EFT and TFT tap on the points; TAB and TAT hold certain
points; ET uses purely intention and BSFF utilises the power of the
unconscious mind to make changes in the energy system – the underlying
principles are the same and it is these underlying principles and how to
work with clients in a whole new way to resolve their issues with these
new techniques that the AMT practitioner trainings concentrate on.
Using EFT as the example, the AMT practitioner training prepares a
professional to be able to add all and any of the other energy therapies to
their repertoire. You could think of these trainings as the framework into
which all the many systems fit in a perfectly modular fashion.
The Advanced Practitioner certification trainings do just that and add the
modules of TAT, BSFF, and ET to be integrated into a rich and extremely
powerful set of healing systems at the practitioner's fingertips.

Gary Craig, Developer Of EFT -
Emotional Freedom Techniques
Born April 13, 1940 in the US, Gary
Craig is a Stanford University trained
engineer, successful businessman and
professional coach, ordained minister
and NLP Master Practitioner.
He was a student of Roger Callahan's
TFT and devised EFT as a "one size fits
all protocol" that would cover a
multitude of problems by virtue of the
concept of total redundancy - tapping every point for every problem, rather
than to match an order and sequence of some of the points to specific
problems.

I was born April 13, 1940 and have been intensely interested in personal
improvement via psychology since age 13. That was when I recognized
that the quality of my thoughts was mirrored in the quality of my life.
Since then I have been self-taught in this field, seeking only those
procedures that, in my opinion, produced results.
EFT is my latest finding, the core of which I learned from Dr. Roger
Callahan. I also have high regard for Neuro Linguistic Programming
(NLP) in which I am a Certified Master Practitioner.

You may notice that some feel slightly different from others, or you may
not. When you get to work on various issues, you will feel that some of the
points "feel" different when you tap them, and you will notice that the shift
or release will occur with one or more points, depending on the reason for
using the technique at the time.
In EFT, these points are stimulated by tapping on them. Try now tapping
the point under your eye, with your index or index and middle fingers,
quite rapidly* about seven to nine times or as many times as it takes for
you to take a normal breath in and out. The strength of tapping should be
comfortable, but you should be able to feel a resonance from the tapping
spreading out across a reasonable part of that side of your face.
* I have noticed that different people have different speeds of tapping. We
generally show a tapping speed in line with the rhythm of "Jingle Bells".
In spite of this, some people develop a kind of woodpecker action after a
while, and others tap quite slowly. I would suggest that what feels right to
you probably is right for you.
For practise, tap all the points from the Eyebrow to the Karate Chop point
now, just to get the feel of doing it.
38
The AMT Yearbook 2003
The more concrete, direct and truthful you can be, the more profound
a change you will experience.
The Set Up
Now that we've named the problem, we can start with the Set Up.
For the opening statement, we use the following routine:
Find the sore spot on either side of your chest; rub it round gently and say:
"Even though I (insert problem statement),
I deeply and completely accept myself."
For example, if you decided your problem was "My back is killing me",
you would say as your Set Up Statement:
"Even though my back is killing me,
I deeply and completely accept myself."
Repeat this three times, rubbing the Sore Spot continuously as you do so,
and please do endeavour to put some meaning and energy into the "I
deeply and profoundly accept myself" part.
The Sequence
Following the Set Up, we now tap all the points, starting from the top
(Eyebrow) and ending up with the Karate Chop Point on the hand.
As you tap each point, repeat a shortened version of the Set Up
Statement which is called the reminder phrase; so if your set up
statement was,
"Even though I hate and despise my boss,
I deeply and profoundly accept myself",
… you say the reminder (shortened version) phrase:
"I hate and despise my boss"
… on each point at the same time as you tap.
39
The AMT Yearbook 2003
The 9 Gamut
This is the middle part in what is sometimes called the EFT sandwich:
After tapping all the points about 5-10 times from the top, at the eyebrow
to the karate chop point, tap continuously on the Gamut point, while doing
the following:
close your eyes
open your eyes and look straight ahead
look hard down to one corner
look hard down to the other corner
move your eyes in a big circle in one direction, and then back again
hum - Happy Birthday To You (or another tune or just a scale) for
about one bar;
count - one two three four five
hum again
Take a deep breath in and out.
The eye movements are linked to various brain functions and the reason for
the humming-counting-humming manoeuvre is to switch between
hemispheres quite quickly. Both are designed to "wake up" your
neurology so the tapping can go to work on the problem in every part of
the brain.
Then, repeat the Sequence one more time, tapping all the points from the
eyebrow to the karate chop point, while repeating the Reminder Phrase
once at each point. Take a deep breath and allow yourself a moment to
reflect on how you feel now. This completes one full round of tapping.
A great way to ascertain from yourself or others just how you feel is to put
a number on it. The technical term is taking a SUD Level or SUDs scale
reading, which stands for Subjective Units of Disturbance.

The AMT Yearbook 2003
If the original set up statement was something along the lines of, "Even
though I have this problem" and you have tapped a first round on "this
problem", and upon checking with yourself, this problem is not as severe
anymore but still noticeable, change the start up affirmation to:

Tapas Fleming
Tapas Fleming, L Ac began her search for Truth at age
15. For many years her focus was on enlightenment and
emotional release. After losing premature twins and
nearly dying herself, she learned acupuncture and
focused on her own healing. In 1994, Tapas created
Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). Tapas now has a
private practice and travels worldwide to give TAT
trainings.
TAT is an elegant, process-oriented energy psychology
treatment. While simple to use, it is as thorough and comprehensive as it is
gentle and powerful. Based on Taoist principles of balance and wholeness,
using TAT brings a sense of integration, connectedness and oneness. It
heals our relationship with Reality at deep and profound levels. The TAT
process creates space for whatever arises during the treatment steps in a
respectful and attentive way, drawing it all into the process of healing.
TAT resolves inner conflict, frees limiting beliefs, unblocks stuckness,
heals trauma and treats allergies. It links the acupuncture meridians with
the vision centres to change our point of view about the problems in our
lives, transforming both our vision and our position, and bringing us into a
harmonious and balanced relationship with all aspects of our experiencing.

You now have all three finger lips lightly touching the
three points.
45
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Once you are in the TAT pose, you put your attention on a short set of
seven steps which have been proven to be highly effective in eliminating
the negatively empowering aspects of a trouble. A trouble can be a
negative limiting belief, a stuck emotion, an allergic reaction and
sometimes even a physical pain. After being in the TAT pose and doing the
steps, you are delivered to a place of inner freedom, relaxation and peace.
This process usually takes about 15 minutes.
The underlying understanding explaining how TAT works is easy to
recognize based on each of our life experiences. In the situation of trauma,
we often say "Oh no This can’t be happening?" The moment we do that, a
point of view springs into existence along with a projected reality of "how
life is" based upon that particular point of view.
For example, if a child loses their parent in a car crash they lived through,
some of the points of view that might spring up at their "Oh, no!" moment
could include:
"I don’t deserve to live."
"I can’t count on support from anyone, anywhere."
"My nearest and dearest will be suddenly taken from me."
"I’m alone in the world now."
"No one can understand how devastating this is."
"My heart is broken."
Once all of the points of view are born, they become like glasses this child
views the world through. What they see as real in life corresponds with
their points of view. They would have difficulty connecting with people.
They would want to care and connect, but fear that the person would
suddenly be taken away from them. They would naturally draw people
who fit that view into their life. They would have an underlying lack of
ease and the thought "I don’t deserve to live" would silently haunt them.
Over time, this child would probably also develop chronic pain related to
the accident. Healing would be difficult throughout their life.
46
The AMT Yearbook 2003
By simply being in the TAT pose, the Divine healing energy of life
appears, embodied within as intelligent, attentive, fast-as-light healing
energy. When our child is in the presence of that loving energy, all
resistance naturally melts away. The energy reigns supreme. The resistance
and stress, the points of view and corresponding projected "that’s the way
life is" reality cannot stand in the effulgent light of the Divine energy. All
that remains is the inner pleasure of contact with that love and the relief of
everything else having melted into love.
The life manifestation of this transformation is that the person can instantly
connect with others without fear, feeling happy to be alive at their deepest
core and full-hearted living. The correspondent physical pain associated
with the crash also begins to spontaneously heal.
This type of profound healing is typical with TAT. Practitioners often cry
for joy along with their clients at the beauty and grace of the experience.
As a person does the TAT process, they usually experience greater peace
with each of the seven steps. Occasionally, a person experiences an
intensifying of stress. This usually lasts up to 15 seconds and then breaks
into peace like a rainstorm suddenly ending just as the sunshine bursts
through the clouds. The person does not have to repeat the work they have
done. It is usual to see increased light emanating from a person’s face upon
completion of TAT.
Teaching TAT is an extraordinary pleasure. To empower people with a
simple technique that gives so much is wonderfully fulfilling. You will be
able to learn TAT in a two-day workshop. In the workshop you will:
· Learn all the basic information you need in order to successfully do TAT
by the end of the workshop. You'll learn how to do TAT for traumas,
allergies, healing your relationship with money, helping an attached
being move on, and how to work with children, animals and groups of
people. You'll learn how to do several types of energy field testing
(muscle testing), surrogate work and the key to developing your intuition
to become a better healer.

Introduction To EmoTrance
After having worked for four years intensively with EFT and having
observed, experienced and facilitated the very real miracles Meridian
Energy Therapies can produce especially in the treatment of all things
which have a basis in emotional "disturbances", I had developed a healthy
respect for METs. I had also come to learn many things about the human
energy system and the energy body along the way - and all of these things I
learned entirely by watching and observing, making changes and testing
the responses but NOT by studying acupuncture charts or ancient texts.
The original METs relied on a limited number of points to produce change
in the energy system which by extension, leads to change in how a person
feels, acts, behaves and experiences their lives after the treatments. EFT
uses a "total redundancy" approach to clear all the major channels during a
session which is extremely successful, especially if repeat treatments are
used to catch aspects that were missed or to address further energy
blockages. I'm not sure why it took me so long but in 2002 I had an instant
insight into the relationship between the energy body, emotions and the
physical body - namely, that all emotions are nothing more (and of course,
nothing less!) than simply feedback devices to alert us to the existing
conditions in the energy body, just the same as physical pain is nothing
more (and certainly nothing less!) than a feedback device to alert us to
existing conditions in the physical body.
It is well known that repeatedly experiencing the same strong emotions has
a very direct correlation to the onset of physiological symptoms and this
was the bridge I used in the system I called EmoTrance in order to show
and demonstrate clearly to everyone concerned just exactly where in a
person's body the disturbances occur at the energetic level.
Back To Physicality
50
The AMT Yearbook 2003
with our attention elsewhere all through the day. It is only when these
subtle sensations turn into strong feelings that we are made to take notice.
We really only become aware of the strongest emotions as they turn into
absolute physiological sensations.
A simple example would be like this. Someone gets told unexpectedly,
"You are FIRED!" and they will report that "it felt as though they had been
punched in the stomach".
That is not some kind of metaphor or a psychosomatic aberration, but a
complete and correct recognition and diagnosis of a real and severe
disturbance in this person's energy body. The physical sensation tells us
exactly where this disturbance lies - in EmoTrance, the one who is working
on their problem or disturbance will be asked to "show me with your hands
where that is" - "that" being the problem, the bereavement, the anger, the
pain, or whatever label of emotion is causing the problem.
It is crucial to EmoTrance to know that we work from the assumption that
people's energy bodies are NATURALLY DESIGNED to handle just
about any kind of existing energy in this world. That there are channels and
pathways which, if they are clear and functioning properly, can and will
channel even the most powerful of energies we can imagine into us,
through us and out in an Even Flow movement.
51
The AMT Yearbook 2003
52
The AMT Yearbook 2003
produced even more profound state changes and shifts in return. Being able
to handle an incoming (or self generated) thought form energy such as,
"You are ugly." and to simply trance it through and out directly causes
people to feel stronger, much more balanced, much less afraid of criticism
and of failure, more determined and more resourceful.
Doing EmoTrance to release easily and without much ado (because we are
working directly with the energy/physical body and NOT in the head with
thoughts, metaphors or other logical contortions) old burdens, blockages,
shards, hurts and pain, does a number of very beneficial things for a
person.
Firstly, users and practitioners of EmoTrance report that they become far
more attuned to what is happening in their bodies and how their emotional
states are actually expressed in their body. This is a very grounding and
healing change of attention and for many, a first re-connection to how
much their bodies have been crying out to them for help and release at last.
Further, in the act of learning or re-learning to move these energies and to
let them flow, every person who practises EmoTrance begins to learn about
the actual realities of their own energy body - where the main channels are
in their body, main centres and entry and exit points for energies and much,
much more besides.
Secondly, and once we start moving beyond immediate trauma and
emotional drama reduction, it becomes very clear just how much energy
there is around us for us to use to heal, grow, have, be and do.
Opening oneself and "drinking in a sunrise" fully and completely, for
example, is an extraordinary experience and physiological sensation.
Opening oneself fully to energies from plant life, from animals, from the
sun and the sky, from the Earth and indeed, from every little thing around
us makes every day quite extraordinary and provides literally ENDLESS
and totally abundant sources of energy for life, work and play.
Learning to "take the energy from a thing" rather than trying to possess or
ingest or own the thing itself is a wonderful gift in and of itself - it can
satisfy needs and wants that were previously totally out of reach and even
53
The AMT Yearbook 2003
out of possibility and has inordinate applications for addictions of all kinds,
and even radically reduces food and shopping bills into the bargain!
There is also the magical aspect of deliberately raising energies such as, "I
am a healer" and being able to trace and track any blockages, smooth them
out and have this - and basically, ANY - form of energy flow powerfully
and very intentionally through our systems.
54
The AMT Yearbook 2003
The EmoTrance systems and techniques are not at all an end product but
rather, a starting point and learning tool to how much more we can all do,
be, have, achieve and experience right here, right now - simply by re-
learning to use the systems we already have and once again, stepping back
into a true appreciation of the Even Flow.

The AMT Yearbook 2003
Now that we have located the place where you feel these sensations in your
body we turn our attention to this erea. You might like to place your hands
on that place to help you keep your focus and now, consider that these
sensations are simply caused by a disturbance or blockage in your
energy body and that the channels absolutely exist to move this energy in,
through and out very successfully.
Pay attention and ask yourself, “Where would this energy like to go?”
Most people get an immediate idea – it might want to go up or down, left
or right, it matters not. If you do not get such an indication, read your
statement again to bring the sensations right back to full strength and this
time, be ready to soften the energy which is causing these physical
sensations (when there is actually nothing physically visible at all touching
you in physicality) around the edges, just a little bit, like a little steam
would come off a block of ice and as it rises, it will show you the channels
that were supposed to take this energy if it was in flow (but cannot take or
transport this energy in the form of a big blocked up ice cube, if you will).
Then, you let it soften more and flow out entirely. It is helpful to support
the movement of the energy by moving your hands with it, and to describe
aloud what you feel happening and where it is as it moves.
Repeat this process until you can look at the statement on the paper, and
the energy flows freely and readily into you, through the requisite channels
and out, leaving you feeling energised and entirely undisturbed by this
particular form of energy.
If you have a friend to try this with, so much the better – they can say the
statement repeatedly to you and also help you move the energy with their
intention too.
Have a play – EmoTrance is easy, natural and amazingly versatile. Best of
all, you cannot do it wrong and it becomes a habit so that emotions that
used to disturb you will simply flow away without even having to pay
much attention with a bit of practise.
57
The AMT Yearbook 2003
You can also draw in energy from just about anything around you, and
don’t forget to play with positive statements. Try it in the mirror with
affirmations and make them really flow through your system. The
possibilities of healing and growth are really quite endless.
Delighted to share this simple but very, very useful system with you,
All the best,

Larry Nims
Dr Larry Nims, PhD. is a clinical psychologist who
developed the BSFF system over a period of time,
noting that the unconscious mind can make the
adjustments that physical tapping on the points
achieves, if it is so instructed.
BE SET FREE FAST™ (BSFF™) is a highly
focused Energy Therapy method for eliminating
the negative emotional roots and self-limiting
belief systems which are embedded in the
subconscious mind, and which are "locked"
together by specific energy circuits. These
unresolved negative emotions and beliefs create and maintain
psychological and physical symptoms which can result in life adjustment,
mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual problems, including medical, and
health problems.
BE SET FREE FAST is a descriptive acronym for "Behavioral &
Emotional Symptom Elimination Training for Resolving Excess Emotion:
Fear, Anger, Sadness & Trauma."
BSFF readily eliminates the same emotionally-based problems as all of the
Energy Therapies. It is believed that BSFF works at deeper psychological
levels than other Energy Therapies by specifically and purposefully
treating the unresolved emotional roots and the belief systems which are
operating automatically in the person's subconscious mind.
Please visit the BSFF website for further information:
www.besetfreefast.com
59
The AMT Yearbook 2003
BSFF Theory
Problems are caused by unresolved negative emotions and beliefs
Thoughts, feelings and behaviours are controlled and limited by
subconscious programming.
Beliefs determine the purpose, timing, duration, and frequency of
psychological symptoms and behaviours.
Dysfunctional belief systems and emotional roots must be eliminated in
order to achieve psychological freedom.
A complete history of all psychological issues is recorded in the
subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is our obedient "faithful servant."
Subconscious information can be accurately accessed through skilful use of
muscle-testing and clinical insights.
Conscious identification of a problem is not necessary for effective
treatment. Notice it - treat it!
Every specific problem, including psychological reversals, can be
eliminated instantly with a single treatment.
BSFF can effectively treat every psychological, physical, or spiritual
problem that has emotional roots.
In BSFF, a “problem” is defined as a set of unresolved negative feelings
that arise from a long series of traumatic and emotionally painful
experiences. An “issue” is a set of problems, which occur together. These
experiences begin in the early months of life, even before we can verbalize
them.
I refer to these experiences and to the associated accumulated negative
feelings simply as “emotional roots,” which eventually have gotten locked
together with a belief system.
The belief system then makes the “problem” occur at a specific time, for a
specific duration, with a specific intensity, for a very specific purpose, and
to assure a precise and specific outcome. It makes no difference that you
60
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Now choose a single word, or a very short phrase that you want to use as a
cue to your subconscious mind. It can be any word, from any language, or
you can make one up. You can then add any other cues you wish at any
time by just telling your subconscious, “I am adding these words as
another treatment cue.”
61
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Use your cues inter-changeably as your mood dictates. You cannot have
too many cues for your subconscious mind to handle. You just use any one
of your cues for each problem you treat. Your subconscious mind will fully
accept this instruction and implement the BSFF procedure every time you
use any of your cues for any specific problem.
You can use as many words as you wish in your cue. But, I recommend
keeping it concise so that you can do it quickly. Just one word will be fine.
It may be humorous, serious, whimsical, spiritual or whatever. Or, you can
have a variety of cues. It can be in any language.
The following are some examples of cues that my clients are using:
Freedom Light Safety
Release it. Apples. Emmanuel.
Praise. Lord. God is/God you are...
Now. Boom.
Horse. Vanilla. Eliminate.
Ocean View Love.
Get outta' here! Michael and Patricia (this mother’s children).
Baruch Ha Shem (which is Hebrew for Bless the Name).
Any cue word or phrase that is meaningful to you will do the job instantly,
right on the spot, without anyone even knowing that you are doing it, and
without having to wait to BE SET FREE FAST.
If you think or say any cue word in your normal activities without noticing
some problem to treat, or when not consciously wanting to treat a problem,
a treatment won’t automatically be initiated. So, no treatment will occur.
You will simply be using the word as part of your normal language.
Each person must become accustomed to doing BSFF in all types of
circumstances, whether alone or with others. That simply means a little
practice, plus using it to eliminate any subconscious blocks to doing it
alertly and readily. Many of my clients and people around the world are
using it with excellent results. You can, too.
I have found that I can easily do BSFF while talking or listening, and I can
still stay in touch with people and my surroundings. If someone, or
something, is bugging me or causing me some stress, or if I brought some
of my own “emotional junk” into the counselling situation, I can simply
62
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Give this instruction only one time (ever) to your subconscious mind. It
will always agree to do everything that you have told it to do for you from
then on. You will never need to give these instructions again. They will
continue to be operative for years, unless you tell your “faithful servant”
not to do this for you anymore. (But I can’t imagine why anyone would
cancel it.) Now, here is the entire set of instructions to give to your
subconscious mind.
“These instructions are to my subconscious mind. Whenever I consciously
notice any problem that I intend for you to eliminate and I just think or
speak my chosen cue/trigger word/phrase you will do the entire BSFF
treatment for me for that problem. The cue that I choose to use is
_________.
“This means that you, my subconscious mind, will eliminate all of the
negative emotional roots and all beliefs involved in each problem that I
choose and intend for you to treat. You will also, simultaneously, eliminate
every Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) factor that is associated with and has
been triggered in each emotional root experience involved in every
problem that I treat.
You will thoroughly resolve these PTS effects so that they no longer cause
me any sort of discomfort. The PTS factors that you will eliminate include
all seven of the following negative effects on my entire human system and
being.
63
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Shock to my system
Trauma to my system
Stress to my system
Distress to my system
Upset to my system
Disturbance to my system
Bother to my system
“You will do all this for me whether or not I consciously know what the
problem is, and even when I cannot identify, describe or label the problem
with words. I need only consciously notice the problem that you will treat.
“You will simultaneously treat and eliminate any and all other problems, at
all levels of my entire life, experience and being, and at all levels of my
mind, which may directly or indirectly in any way contribute to, feed into,
help cause, or in any way maintain this problem that I have noticed and
intend for you to treat.
You will do all of this for me no matter what combination of mental,
emotional, physical or spiritual experiences that I may have been having at
the time each of these related problems were being established or re-
experienced.
“You will completely and permanently eliminate each and every problem
that I treat-- whether or not I have been programmed subconsciously to
keep them, to take them back, to allow them to come back, to permit them
to return, or, to passively accept or receive them back in any way, shape or
form.
You will simultaneously also eliminate each and every problem that would
make me vulnerable to any treated problem returning in any way or at any
time in the future.
“You will do all of this for me from now on, for any problem that I ever
consciously notice and intend to treat, whenever I initiate the treatment
with any one of my cues. You will do this for me with any and all cues that
I ever tell you that I want to use. I simply need only to notice a problem
and initiate the treatment with my thought or with my voice by using any
one of my cues.
64
The AMT Yearbook 2003
“You will include, in every treatment, the very first to the last time that I
ever experienced any and all parts of whatever problem that I am signalling
you to eliminate.
“Whenever I treat for any anger, judgment, criticism and unforgiveness or
any other negative attitudes that I may have toward myself you will include
in each of these treatments every anger and unforgiveness toward myself
that I may not have treated in previous treatment sessions. You will do this
update treatment work no matter how long ago I did the previous
treatments.
“Subconscious mind, you will always do all of these things for me from
now on, no matter what condition, circumstance or situation that I am in or
what problem I may be imagining or remembering. And I thank you for
being my faithful servant.”
This is the entire instruction to your subconscious mind. Yes, it is a long
statement, and it is meant to be thoroughly comprehensive. It is crucial to
eliminate everything that is in any way contributing to each problem, and
leave nothing to be triggered that might signal the subconscious mind to
rebuild the problem or issue.
The important point is to be thorough in treating every related problem
involved in the issue that you have noticed. Many situations are often a
mixture of many different issues and/or individual problems.
Be alert for this possibility and treat everything! Don’t leave any problems
untreated that may be involved in whatever situation you are in.
If any problem in an issue is left untreated, it can be a “hook” for the whole
issue to be reconstructed. This has been a major limitation of all
conventional psychotherapies for the past fifty years. We did not have the
tools for totally and permanently eliminating all the problems involved in
the person’s life. Now we do.
65
The AMT Yearbook 2003
66
The AMT Yearbook 2003
Likewise, treat any anger at God, the world, or life, as it arises. And also
anger at yourself.
4) Treat each problem involved in every issue until you feel a sense of
peace and comfort in relationship to the problem/issue you are working on.
that is, keep treating until, when you tune into it again, you have no more
negative experience of any kind about it at all (in your mind, emotions,
body and spirit) as you think about each problem or issue on which you are
working.
5) Treat all problems that you have time for in your session, whether
working with yourself or a client. Be sure to treat every problem involved
in each issue that you work on during your session. This includes treating
for any anger or unforgiveness (as it comes up) toward each person that
you are working on.
6) Treat for these common problems. They appear for everyone, due to old
subconscious programming in all of us. Treat all possible variation of
these 'stoppers' that you or your client may have.
• I am afraid that these treatments won't work for me.
• I am afraid that these treatments won't last.
• I doubt that they will work
• I doubt that they will last.
• I don't trust myself to do things effectively in these new ways.
• I doubt my ability to live these changes out in my life.
Notice that self-doubt and self-distrust are extremely common problems in
everyone. So, treat every instance of these that you can discover.
7) At the end of each treatment session it is imperative to clear up all anger
and unforgiveness toward yourself that is related to the problems you have
been working on in that session.
8) forgive yourself for all of the problems that you have been working on
in that session. Again, do just one forgiveness treatment for the combined
total of unforgivenesses toward yourself in all the problems you have been
working on in that session. Your subconscious mind has been instructed to
67
The AMT Yearbook 2003
treat all angers and unforgivenesses toward yourself each time that you
treat for them.
9) Use whatever spiritual method you have to clear up (in your relationship
to your Creator/God) the negative spiritual effects of the judgmental,
critical and unforgiving attitudes you have been holding with the problems
you have just treated. This is crucial in order to help insure that treated
problems do not return.
10) Dust yourself off, get up, and go enjoy your new freedom! Azp
anything else that comes up as you go on in your life of new freedom and
personal effectiveness.
There are other things to learn about using BSFF that can deepen this
work, for example, the "Fail-Safe" treatment sequence and the treatments
for self-image and self-confidence. But, you can do far more with just this
simple method than you ever could before. Study the BSFF Manual. TAke
a BSFF training. You will discover many ideas, strategies, examples and
methods for being set free and for creating your new life of freedom and
choice.
Use BSFF for everything. Keep using it. You will be delighted with what
you can do with it to help yourself. Now, with BSFF, you can eliminate
unresolved problems quickly and thoroughly.
That's it. BSFF is deceptively simple, yet very profound in its
effectiveness. Just do the treatments thoroughly for each issue and you
will have wonderful results for most every type of problem, including
many physical symptoms and illnesses.
Keep in mind that you do not have to believe that BSFF works in order to
be hugely successful with it. It does work. We simply did not know how
to use the concepts before in such elegant and effective ways.
68
The AMT Yearbook 2003
So, go for it! You do not have to settle for the vast majority of
psychological and physical problems, post-traumatic stress, and personal
limitations that have been programmed into your subconscious mind. Now
you can do the thorough treatment work that you have always wanted to do
- with yourself and for others.
I am very excited and deeply gratified to bring this wonderful treatment
method to you. It is a gift from God to you and to me. It is my fervent
desire that you will use BSFF and BE SET FREE FAST. May you be as
blessed I am with it.

1. Assessing Symptoms
Reactions to various substances can produce a myriad of symptoms
including ADD, anxiety, depression, arthritis, respiratory problems,
menstrual difficulties, digestive problems, chronic fatigue, brain fog, panic
attacks, headaches, weight gain, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, and
aches and pains. Severity of symptoms runs the gamut from nasal
congestion to psychosis. As clinicians, our job is to assess whether a
patient’s symptoms may be a response to a substance. It is important to
75
The AMT Yearbook 2003
ask whether the symptoms are better or worse at particular times of the
day, week, month, or year, and dependent on what a person is doing or
eating.
Merely being open to the possibility that a sensitivity reaction may be
causing symptoms can alter our evaluation of a client’s behaviors.

Muscle-Testing Preparations
• Have both client and therapist drink sufficient water to ensure they
are not dehydrates, which will interfere with successful testing
• Focus your intention on valid results. Disengage expectations
• Do not make eye contact just before or during testing
• Check that the client has no injuries to the neck, shoulder or arm
that would make testing uncomfortable.
84
The AMT Yearbook 2003
• Place 2 fingers on the client’s outstretched arm, just above the wrist
and press down with about 2 pounds of pressure for about 2
seconds. This will give you a feel for their strong response
• Instruct the client to say ‘No’
• Tell them to Hold,
• Press down again with 2 fingers, for 2 seconds with 2 pounds of
pressure. This will give you a feel for their weak response.
This is not a contest of strength,
Muscle-testing is a collaboration between therapist and client to
develop a common vocabulary for accessing information from the
body.
Only enough pressure and resistance are necessary to be able to tell the
difference between a strong and weak response.
Continue this calibration exercise by asking them to say several true/false
statements, testing each one
• 2+2=4
2+2=5
• My name is (give false name)
My name is (give true name)
• The sun is shining
It’s dark now
You can support the client’s arm between statements. Allow them to lower
their arm and rest at times so they don’t tire. Or switch arms when they do.
One further test is for polarity switching, which can interfere with accurate
muscle testing.
• Ask the client to put one hand above her head, palm down.
• Test the other arm. This should test strong.
• Have the client flip the hand above the head over so it is palm up.
• Test again. This should be weak.
85

If at any point in the testing you have had confused responses (strong-
strong; weak-weak; or reversed – weak where you expect strong), then
there are energy imbalances present, and corrections are needed.

Self-Testing
The principles in self-testing are the same as in testing others. One muscle
is isolated and resists pressure put upon it after being challenged with a
statement which may be true or false. One simple technique is the O-Ring:
O-Ring
• Make an ‘O’ by touching the tips of the thumb and index finger of
your non-dominant hand
• Insert the thumb an d index finger of the opposite hand into the O
like a pair of closed scissors
• Open the ‘scissors, trying to force apart the fingers making the O.
• Calibrate this, by testing with yes, then no in order to determine
whether the strong response is in the O fingers having the strength
to remain closed or in the scissors fingers having the strength to
open the O.
Muscle-Testing in Therapy
There are many, many ways to use muscle-testing in therapy. Each
therapist, after a period of practice, develops their own style. Remember
that we are working with subtle energies, which respond to the use of
intention. It is important to set a clear and consistent intention in your
testing. Many therapists make an intention at the beginning of each
session that the work (including muscle-testing) be for the highest good of
the client. You can also make the intention, by stating it clearly aloud or
silently, that the muscle-testing give you answers that are clear accurate,
and helpful. Responses are most clear when testing uses statements, rather
than questions, and when the statements are concrete and specific.
When deciding whether to use muscle-testing in a session, it’s a good idea
to begin by testing the following statements.
• It’s OK and helpful to use muscle-testing
It’s not OK to use muscle-testing
• It’s OK and helpful to muscle-test about this issue
It’s not-OK to muscle-test about this issue

trauma, Seemorg Matrix Work quickly removes the after effects of such
events: disturbing emotions, negative beliefs and attitudes, destructive
desires and fantasies, addiction, compulsions, obsessions, dissociation,
spiritual blockage, physical abreactions, sensitivities, and disease.

Glossary of Terms

Desktop Companion, Version 2, by Drs. David & Rebecca
Grudermeyer, © 2000, 2002
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.

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 person’s
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 earth’s 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.
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.
Intention: Holding of ones’ inner awareness and focus to accomplish a
specific task or activity; being fully present in the moment.
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

all aspects of the Universe. Other terms include Source, All That Is, The

smoothing of a ruffled or disturbed area in the biofield.
Unswitched: Another term for being properly polarized used by some
chiropractors and acupuncturists.

In this outstanding training, new and added exercises were created
5 specifically to impart the skills and understandings necessary to complete the
modules. Also, added tutor comments and further explanations of the
demonstrations were included for this format.
The AMT Certification training is NOT an EFT training course, but was
designed from the start to be an Energy Psychology training which teaches
the underlying principles of mind/body healing using the NEW meridian &
energy therapies.
