Introduction Articles
In this section, you can find a range of introduction articles by AMT members and trainers, explaining the history and basic principles of the field of Meridian Energy Therapies and Energy Psychology.
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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 mindbody 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, 8
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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 entirely in less than half anxiety, depression and childhood memories can session. long-standing or chronic pain to be released an hour. Similarly, psychological pain such as addictions, caused by traumatic incidents or often be relieved fully in a single treatment
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.

The AMT Yearbook 2003 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. Whats 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.
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 doesnt 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 the beginning of the eyebrow and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Touch the outside corner of your eye and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Touch under your eye and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Touch under your nose and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Touch under your mouth and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Touch the third eye point and take a slow, deep breath in and out. Take a moment to reflect on how much calmer you feel and how much more open you are to whatever it was you might have feared.
The 2 Minute Release Technique was designed by Silvia Hartmann. It is an abbreviated form of 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.

The AMT Yearbook 2003 techniques enable the therapeutic process to flow so much more quickly and smoothly that entire scenes, acts, and themes can unfold and be resolved in a single session. Profound insights often follow, and previously distressing dysfunctional behaviour patterns change naturally in a healthy direction.
Transforming anger
Kelly experienced this for herself on a practitioner training course during which the participants were practicing, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), using as their issue something that had occurred during their journey. I am so angry, she began. I just hate being late. I always have. Kelly had planned her journey that morning so that she would have ample time to get to the course venue, allowing something like fifty percent extra for mishaps. And the mishaps had indeed occurred, conspiring to make her arrive at the conference centre some forty minutes late. I asked her to rate the intensity of her anger as a number between zero and ten. Kelly promptly named a figure off the top of the scale. I then guided her through tapping several times on a sequence of her acupuncture points, while she stayed in touch with her anger. After one round of tapping, I asked her to rate her anger again. She looked rather puzzled, and said, Well, maybe that isnt really the problem. The problem is actually one of embarrassment. I cannot stand going into a room and being the centre of attention. She had, of course, arrived some forty minutes late that morning. You can picture the scene. The door opens. Apprehensively, someone peers in. The speaker stops speaking. All eyes turn to the intruder. The unfortunate latecomer treads on a few feet, handbags and brief cases and blushingly and gratefully falls into a seat. This revised problem was also a ten on the scale of anguish. After a round of tapping on the pressure points, I asked Kelly how she felt now. Again she looked a little confused. Well, that's not bothering me anymore. Now, I'm rembering how hurt I felt at being made to attend a birthday party when I was six years old, shortly after my mother had died. 17
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, Kellys 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 Ive 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.
Far-reaching effects
Such experiences of moving quickly from an apparently simple, superficial problem into a profound connection with deeper experience, and effecting rapid, gentle and powerful healing there are commonplace using energy psychology approaches. How is it that such an apparently content-free and mechanical process can have such profound and far-reaching effects? In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is a saying, Where there is resistance or disruption there is pain. Where there is no resistance or disruption, there is no pain. In the TCM context, the resistance and disruption are located in the acupuncture meridian system and the pain is generally in the physical body.
18
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Many who have experience in psychotherapy and personal development work have learned that this is also true at the emotional level. Tears of grief flowing freely are surprisingly less painful than those choked back and swallowed down into a lump in the throat and a headache. There are connections as well as parallels between the dynamics of the subtle energy system and psychological processes. Bob Flaws, the prolific western writer on Traditional Chinese Medicine says that our emotions are our subjective experience of the flow of Qi in our bodies. So painful emotions are useful indicators of blocks or imbalances in the flow of energy. If this is true, and these systems are indeed interactive, then it holds out the hope that balancing the flow of Qi may also affect our emotions.
19
Intention
The theory supporting energy psychology is constantly evolving at the leading edge of new science and subtle energies research. One framework for understanding the power of these techniques is offered by Stanford professor Dr William Tiller, following 30 years of practical research into subtle energies. Tiller posits in his book, Science and Human Transformation, that the subtle energy system operates on the special sort of physics which governs homeopathy. This implies that the more subtle the level of intervention, the more potent its results may be. Tiller also characterizes subtle energies as having essential properties of intentionality and coherence. The issue of intention stimulates great debate in this field. Many therapists have discovered that after working with these approaches for some time, it becomes as effective to direct focused intention to the meridian points or chakras as to stimulate them directly. And focusing our intention on the issue which needs to be brought into balance is the defining difference between energy psychology and many other energy healing methods. Experienced mental health practitioners frequently express confusion, saying that their intention to help their clients to heal was just as strong and clear before introducing these methods into their practice. How, then, do these techniques make that intention so much more rapidly and powerfully effective?
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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.
21
Varied approaches
For many conventionally trained health professionals, these approaches have proved to be the bridge to a deeper, more holistic, multi-dimensional understanding of life and human nature. Medical doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors, many of whom would once have thought the entire concept of subtle energies was entirely too unscientific to bear consideration, have experienced the indisputable, practical results of energy psychology techniques for themselves and their clients, and are now applying their rigorous scientific skills and professional experience to developing empirical research and increasingly effective applications of these approaches to heal human suffering. Dr Roger Callahans original development of Thought Field Therapy has blossomed into a rich variety of approaches now included under the umbrella term of energy psychology. Some of these, like Gary Craigs Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Larry Nims' Be Set Free Fast (BSFF) are directly derived from Callahans work. Others, like TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique), Seemorg Matrix Work and EmoTrance have independent origins. Each makes a special contribution to the field, and each is highly effective with a full range of psychological work, from fears and stress to trauma and abuse, from shame and anger to addictive cravings, from depression, pain management and even some physical ailments, to performance enhancement.
The AMT Yearbook 2003 basic elements of life, as well as to the mercury, hydrocarbons, and other fumes and particles released into the atmosphere from the smoldering ruins. Sandi created vials containing the energetic signatures of these substances and distributed them widely. Clearing these sensitivities with her innovative techniques, including spraying the auricular acupuncture points with the light of a laser, resulted in instantaneous lifting of brain fog, malaise and depression for many who were suffering from those after-effects of the terrorist attacks.

EmoTrance
The newest technique in this rapidly-developing field is EmoTrance, developed by UK researcher Silvia Hartmann, PhD and presented at Oxford University at the second European Energy Psychology Conference in 2002. EmoTrance is a straight-forward healing system for both self-help and professional therapeutic interventions. It is the natural way to handle our emotions and the flow of energy in our bodies in direct response to what happens in the present moment. It is also a gentle and profound way to help ourselves and others to dissolve the oldest and hardest of hurts from the past. Theres no reliving of old trauma, just energy being set free to once again flow as it was always designed to do. And it is wonderfully revitalising and invigorating as we re-learn how to open ourselves up to absorb the full spectrum of energies available to every one of us. EmoTrance also functions as a personalised teacher and guide to each person's individual energy system. The basic process teaches us about the channels through which energy flows in our personal energy system, our own energy bodys needs, and how we can start to meet those in a whole new way. And while it is doing this for us, it also extends our abilities to work with other peoples energy systems, to really understand and read them correctly. It is based on the principle that our energy bodies have their own unique nutritional requirements, and that, as with our physical bodies, nourishing energies need to be allowed in, be processed and flow on through us and out again. When we don't allow this to happen, the equivalent of energetic constipation or malnutrition take place. We feel painful emotions, and we try to treat those, when the cause of our pain is a block somewhere in the energy system, old energies held out, held back, or held onto. We feel a hunger and try to alleviate it with chocolate or lots of attention, hard work, success, sex or many other distractions. But we can't feed the energy system with chocolate. Many people are finding that if they feed their systems on energy instead, if they allow the energies of their encounters, their environment, their lives to flow through them naturally, clearing blocks from their channels, opening them up and nourishing them, then
25
The AMT Yearbook 2003 other symptoms simply fade away. This is as true of apparently negative energies as it is of all others. One of the most convincing experiments we did while developing EmoTrance involved exchanging insults. Heres how it works. Whats the worst thing anyone could say to you? "Youre stupid! Youre ugly! You dont know what youre talking about. Youre just an imposter." Heres how we deal with such things using EmoTrance. I was working with one of the participants on a training course, who believed that she was pretty and intelligent, but feared most of all that she was shallow. I briefly described the process, and then guided her through it. First, I said to her scornfully, You are pathetically shallow! Youre nothing but a pretty face She stepped back as if I had struck her a physical blow and then crumpled in on herself. I asked where are you feeing that in your body? Put your hands there now, and understand that this is simply an energy, an energy that is blocked from its natural pathways. Can you let that go through so we can re-establish the even flow? Were working just with the energy behind that sensation, not the emotions, not the memory of what your father said to you 30 years ago, just the energy, and giving that energy the support it needs to soften and move and find its natural pathways out of the body, without any argument or struggle at all its just gone. 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.
26
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.

The AMT Yearbook 2003 described her experience as like breaking through clouds, into the sunlight. Many people find their lives blighted by traumatic memories, from emotional and physical abuse within the family or school, accidents and attacks, or events on the global stage of terrorism and war. Dick Morrill was an Air America pilot in Vietnam, and his experience of speaks eloquently of TATs gentle power to heal trauma. During a TAT seminar, I closed my eyes and was back in Vietnam in the back seat of a helicopter on a training flight. Several B-52s had dropped hundreds of 500 pound bombs in the distance. I took a deep breath as I remembered the helicopter slowly tilting back as it began to skid into a simulated emergency landing with an engine failure, but this time we were VERY tilted. In one moment my knees were above my head, and the next the tail rotor blades plowed into the ground. When the helicopter finally skidded to a stop, it was upside down. The frame of my seat was pressing on the back of my helmet, forcing my face into the dirt and solidly pinning both my arms and my face into the ground. I was trapped! Everyone else was dead or unconscious. With the engines still running we were sure to burn or explode. I was going to die. Eventually, another helicopter that had seen the crash came to the rescue. Whenever I remembered this, my chest would get tight, my arms would feel tingly and heavy, my palms would sweat, and, if I was telling the story, my voice would change as my throat tightened with terror. But as I held the TAT pose and stayed with the steps of the process, all of a sudden I was aware that I had survived that crash! And I was suddenly aware of something else: there was NO HELICOPTER on top of me. Even as I had the thought, it seemed silly. Of course there wasnt a helicopter on top of me, but I sat there amazed by my new awareness of that reality. For a brief moment, I saw the crash scene from above. Although it was just a flash, I noticed that it looked different. It looked lighter. I closed my eyes. It WAS lighter. It had always been kind of dark in my memory, as if there were a giant shaded Plexiglas dome covering the site. I then became aware that as I was thinking about the crash, my chest, arms, throat and hands were relaxed. All I was having was a memory of an event that had taken place more than twenty-eight years ago. Nothing more. The 28
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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 wasnt there, and I couldnt get it to come back, no matter how hard I focused on the memory. To see such rapid and deep transformation in someones 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 selfhelp as well as for practitioners beginning to use EFT with clients. The AMT also recommends Gary Craigs 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.
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. More Information about the AMT Meridian Therapies Practitioner training can be found on page 91.
32
The AMT Yearbook 2003 An excellent way of getting a very personal idea of the systems, the innovators and the field overall is to attend one of the three annual international Energy Therapies & Energy Psychology conferences. For three whole days, you have the opportunity to learn from leading innovators in the field, ask questions, attend introduction workshops and hear about the latest discoveries; but more importantly even, you can exchange information and insights with other people on a friendly peer basis - others who are also excited about the many, many possibilities for healing and growth that simply were not available before these systems were developed. For those seeking professional qualification trainings, a range of pre- and post conference full length certification trainings are also offered in conjunction with these conferences; please see Trainings & Events for further details.

What is EFT?
by Gary Craig In simplest terms, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem. We are still learning why EFT (and its many cousins) works so well. The existing theory is that "the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for physical, emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR 34
The AMT Yearbook 2003 beyond those of conventional methods. Even a cursory review of the case histories on the web site will reveal that. Further, EFT often provides relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms. This, too, is abundantly clear in our case histories, which provide unmistakable evidence of the link between our physical ailments and our emotional issues. EFT is a Doorway to the new Healing High-Rise. It is where a growing number of newcomers to this exciting field get their start. We now have thousands of practitioners using EFT throughout the world. I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose, but I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will. Compared to other techniques, EFT is usually quite gentle and substantial relief is often achieved with little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however. Some people's issue are so intense that the mere mention of them causes emotional or physical pain. Although truly serious instances of this (sometimes called abreactions) is most likely to occur in seriously emotionally damaged people (best estimate is less than 1% of the population), newcomers to EFT are advised to exercise common sense in this regard and not go where they aren't qualified. Please know that I am neither a psychologist nor a licensed therapist. Rather, I am a Stanford engineering graduate and an ordained minister and, although we don't pound the table for God here, I do come at this procedure from a decidedly spiritual perspective. My ordained ministry is with the Universal Church of God in Southern California which is non-denominational and embraces all religions. I am an avid student of A Course In Miracles but at no time is any EFT'er asked to follow any specific spiritual teaching.

The AMT Yearbook 2003 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. Hugs & Blessings, Gary Gary Craig http://EmoFree.com

The AMT Yearbook 2003 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.
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 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.
40
The AMT Yearbook 2003 What that means is you ask yourself: On a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being the worst imaginable pain/freak out/fear/sadness/discomfort, and 0 being completely calm, pain free, tranquil, relaxed and happy, how would you rate what you are experiencing at this moment? This works for emotions as well as for physical sensations and even for beliefs which might be a problem: On a scale of zero to ten: how depressed are you right now? how painful is your leg? how bad is your fear of heights? how distressing is this memory? how much do you hate this person? Before you begin tapping for any subject or problem, take the time to take a SUDs rating and make a mental note of it. Then, when you have completed a round of treatment, ask the question again to find how much has changed. It's a good way to be able to assess how well the treatment has worked and if you need to repeat the treatment. Sometimes, the problem can go from as high as 10 to as low as 0 in a single Sandwich treatment. More often though, you start with 8 or 9, and after a round of tapping, the severity is reduced to a 4 or a 5. This means that the treatment is beginning to work but there's more to be done.
41
The AMT Yearbook 2003 "Even though there is still some of this problem remaining, or "Even though I still have some of this problem". When you're down to a rating of "Oh its a tiny little bit now" which would be a 2, 1 or a half on the subjective rating scale, a third round can be done with the opening statement of, "I want to completely overcome this problem and I deeply and completely accept myself". And that's it! It's as simple as that. There's no need for you to worry about getting it wrong, or getting the wrong statement. ALL TAPPING YOU DO IS GOOD FOR YOU. Any tapping you do stimulates the meridians, relaxes you, calms you and makes you feel a little better, even if you get totally the wrong opening affirmation and the original problem has not yet shifted. Just try again with a different start up phrase, or think about what the truth about the problem might be.

With one hand, lightly touch the tip of the thumb to the area I/8 inch above the inner corner of your eye
With fourth finger (ring finger of the same hand, lightly touch the tip of the finger to the area I/8 inch above the inner corner of your other eye. Both finger tips are now on either side of the bridge of your nose.
Place the tip of the middle finger at the point midway between, and about I/2 inch above eyebrow level. You now have all three finger lips lightly touching the three points. Now place your other hand on the back of your head, with the palm touching the head so that the thumb is resting at the base of the skull just above the hairline. The palm cradles the occipital rone. If you are holding your hands in the TAT pose on someone else, the same area at the base of the skull is covered; however, your little finger will be just above the hairline. Both hands should be resting gently. No pressure is necessary.
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 cant 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 dont deserve to live." "I cant count on support from anyone, anywhere." "My nearest and dearest will be suddenly taken from me." "Im 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 dont 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. How does TAT help this person? 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 "thats 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 persons 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. Receive an introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine (the basis of acupuncture and the meridian system) and find out how it explains the energy of emotional trauma and physical pain. 47
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Identify when not to use TAT. You'll watch demos and do practicums, which will give you the experience with TAT you need in order to successfully, bring TAT into your life and your practice. Enjoy opportunities for personal healing and rejuvenation. Learn a new way to discover and heal the trauma that is causing a person the most trouble. Experience the personal peace that TAT can bring. Have fun and know you have a simple new tool that delivers greater health, vitality and happiness. It is my pleasure to share TAT with you. With love, Tapas Fleming www.unstressforsuccess.com

Introduction To EmoTrance
by Silvia Hartmann PhD 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
When conditions change in the energy body, subtle feedback exists immediately which we generally are not aware of at all as we are too busy 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 3. Thirdly, by repairing channels, networks and areas of the energy body to enable these areas to once again allow a smooth flowing of incoming energies into, through and out of the system.
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.
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 relearning to use the systems we already have and once again, stepping back into a true appreciation of the Even Flow. To learn more about EmoTrance, please visit http://EmoTrance.com
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Even and especially small children simply respond to the suggestion or idea that this stuck thing could be softened and allowed to go where it needed to will simply nod and say, Ok, yes, its beginning to move ...
56
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 dont 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, Silvia Hartmann, PhD http://StarFields.org ____________________________________________________________

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 consciously and logically might prefer a different outcome. Your subconscious mind does this on automatic pilot. That is, the belief system essentially says to your subconscious mind: Do this, at this time, and make this happen in my experience. That is, in my mind (or in my body/emotions/spirit/work/finances/success/skill development/athletic performance/achievement/relationships, etc.) Whenever the triggering situation occurs in your experience, your subconscious mind, as your neutral faithful servant, immediately recreates the unpleasant problem or personal limitation. There can be many layers or levels of secondary, tertiary, and even deeper sets of problems that accompany any problem that we consciously notice. These hidden problems indirectly help to set up or feed into the consciously detected or identified problem. With just one use of your cue word all levels of roots and beliefs involved with each treated problem are eliminated simultaneously, along with the identified problem that you intend to treat. No matter how many emotional roots are involved, your faithful servant (your subconscious, psychological mind) will eliminate all of the roots and the belief system at all levels for each individual problem that you treat. Amazingly, this constitutes the entire BSFF treatment. Notice that your subconscious mind does all of the actual treatment work. You just cue it to do so by using your word(s) and by your intention to eliminate the problem. Now, choose a word or short phrase that you want to use for your cue to your subconscious mind.
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 mothers 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 wont 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 treat as much as necessary until I am back in balance and fully in the present situation. This instant treatment can be done so quickly that it is actually much less disruptive to my ability to be fully present with someone than if I did not treat myself immediately. Not treating it would allow the distress or the distraction to impair my attention to the client and my clinical judgment. This treatment process is usually so fast that it hardly interrupts anything. Of course, it may not be as easy to take the time to forgive yourself or someone else when you are interacting with someone. But, you can treat for any anger, at least, and do the unforgiveness later.
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 reexperienced. 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! Dont 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 persons life. Now we do. These treatments always eliminate each problem. And they do so instantly. While it is possible for a problem to return, it is not very likely because of the thoroughness of this work. Of course, any problem can be readily treated again, as needed.
65
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Much muscle testing and individual subjective experience has confirmed that everyone's "faithful servant" will always instantly do this entire treatment for every individual problem. Do recognize that some "issues" may be comprised of many problems. Each separate problem will need to be eliminated as well. Sometimes muscle testing will indicate that multiple problems in some issue can be eliminated simultaneously in only one Instant BSFF treatment. The important thing here is to be thorough in treating every related problem involved in the "presenting problem" that is noticed and reported by the person. "Presenting problems" often are a mixture of several different individual problems.
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. Warmly, Larry Larry Nims, PhD http://besetfreefast.com

The AMT Yearbook 2003 Donahue devoted an entire program to Dr. Callahan and his work on "amouraphobia". Currently licensed in New York and California, Dr. Callahan heads the Thought Field Therapy Training Center in La Quinta, California (a Palm Springs community). The TFT Training Center conducts trainings in Callahan Techniques TFT and publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Thought Field. Dr. Callahan is Chairman of the Board for the professional organization Association for Thought Field Therapy.
The AMT Yearbook 2003 disappeared completely. This heralded the birth of Thought Field Therapy. Some 20 years later, Mary is still free of the phobia and has appeared on various US TV programmes telling this story. Callahan recognised that simply tapping one point would not always produce the desired results so he proceeded to develop procedures, or algorithms, for tapping different sequences of points depending on the problem to be resolved. Callahan maintains that the correct sequence of points is important. This became the basis of Thought Field Therapy or Callahan Techniques. Therefore there are different points and sequences for issues such as trauma, addictive cravings, pain relief, anxiety, depression, panic, phobias etc. Here is an example algorithm, for Traumatic Stress.

Callahan has also developed an approach called Voice Technology which he claims improves success rates, by being an even more accurate diagnostic tool. Some of the people who trained with Callahan in the early days went on to adapt the techniques. Gary Craig, for instance developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) which gives less importance to the notion of energy toxins, specific sequences of tapping points and the TFT diagnostic methods. However Callahan continues to maintain that the highest success rates will only be achieved when the correct sequences are used and diagnostic methods are employed.

Allergy Antidotes: Identifying & Treating the Psychoenergetic Effects of Energy Toxins
Are your energy psychology treatments as effective as you would like them to be? Do you, your family members, or some of your clients have vague, confusing, or undiagnosed emotional or physical symptoms? The solutions to these problems can be found in the Allergy AntidotesTM system. Allergy AntidotesTM is a comprehensive system for assessing, identifying and treating the psychoenergetic effects of energy toxins. Allergy Antidotes stems from the discoveries of Dr. Roger Callahan, founder of Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Seeking to understand those rare
74
The AMT Yearbook 2003 cases when TFT failed to eliminate symptoms as well as when negative symptoms reoccurred, Dr. Callahan discovered that certain people undergo psychological reversal and treatment failure when exposed to substances to which they are particularly sensitive. Callahan calls these substances energy toxins since they are poisonous to or weaken the bodys energy system. While Callahan advocates avoiding these problem substances, for many people this is often difficult, impossible or undesirable. For example, it is difficult to avoid dust, perfumes or formaldehyde. It is impossible to avoid hormones or implants in ones own body and it is dangerous to avoid vitamins or minerals. The Allergy AntidotesTM system presents an easy to learn, non-invasive treatment method for eliminating the physical and emotional symptoms caused by exposure to these reactive substances.
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 clients behaviors. 2. Identification of Energy Toxins Any symptom can be from a substance sensitivity. In turn, any substance can potentially weaken the bodys energy system. Possible culprits range from toxic chemicals such as petrochemicals, to non-toxic substances such as eggs and vitamin C. Since everything is suspect, a methodical system is required to assess whether a particular substance is weakening a persons energy system. Energy toxins can be easily identified using non-invasive muscle testing. This variety of muscle testing, adapted from Applied Kinesiology, involves the patient holding or thinking about different substances while applying consistent pressure to the patients outstretched arm. If the arm gives way it is an indication that the held substance is weakening the muscle energy system. Identification of an energy toxin alone can afford a higher quality of life for a sensitive person who can now avoid the reactive substance. However, in those cases where avoidance of the substance is difficult, impossible or undesirable it is necessary to alter the bodys reaction to the substance. 3. Treatment of Substance Sensitivities Energy psychology treatments help to reprogram the body so that it no longer reacts negatively to the substance. The reprogrammed body no longer views the substance as a poison. All treatments are done with the patients focus on the reactive substance. The patient holds the substance, or holds a tube with the energetic signature of the substance, or holds piece of paper with the name of the
76
The AMT Yearbook 2003 substance, or says or thinks about the substance. Stimulating acupuncture points eliminates the energy imbalance in relation to that substance, thereby ending the bodys negative reaction. Clearing the effects of energy toxins is analogous to TFT and EFT treatments to eliminate negative emotions. The reactive substance causes changes in the bodys energy system similar to the disturbance caused by a negative emotion, thought or scene. The energy system is then balanced in relation to the substance by stimulating specific acupuncture points as is done in TFT and EFT. Other treatment modalities utilize reflex points or various points of the body to again regain balance of the body in relation to the offending substance. In summary, energy psychology practitioners can easily integrate the Allergy AntidotesTM system into their practices. We already see many clients who suffer from the detrimental effects of energy toxins. We have the clinical skills to do detective work to uncover possible reactive substances. And we know the muscle testing skills to identify specific substance sensitivities. Finally, we are experienced in using energy psychology techniques to balance the bodys energy system. Using these techniques will improve the effectiveness of our work. Sandi Radomski www.allergyantidotes.com

An Introduction to EDxTM
Founded by Fred P. Gallo, Ph.D., Energy Diagnostic and Treatment Methods is an advanced energy causal diagnostic and treatment system, incorporating principles of applied kinesiology, bioenergy, consciousness, and cognition to efficiently treat a wide array of psychological problems. EDxTM involves manual muscle testing, enhanced intuition, and techniques to assist practitioners in tailoring interventions to rapidly alleviate psychological problems, including anxiety, panic, PTSD/trauma, depression, personality disorders, addiction, overweight, relationship problems, physical pain conditions, blocks to peak performance, and a wide range of other conditions. Embedded in the assumption that bioenergy operates at the very essence of physical and psychological health, EDxTM offers means of assessing bioenergy information, thus aiding the practitioner in applying precise interventions to efficiently alleviate the affective and cognitive components
80
The AMT Yearbook 2003 of the targeted condition. EDxTM also involves elevating thought recognition and consciousness so as to promote ongoing well being. EDxTM includes power tools that can be used in concert with many other therapeutic approaches. Many practitioners have integrated EDxTM with psychodynamic approaches, transactional analysis, cognitive-behavioral therapy, couples and family therapy, etc. EDxTM significantly enhances the practitioner's effectiveness and efficacy in providing therapy, consultation, peak performance enhancement, and education.

The AMT Yearbook 2003 developing personalised treatment sequences, from uncovering the root causes of a problem to determining which treatment will be most suitable, from diagnosing psychological reversal to measuring progress. The basic principle involved, which has been validated by neuro-muscular research, is that when we make a statement which our system experiences as true, the muscle being tested will stay strong against pressure. When we experience the statement as false, the muscle will apparently lose strength. In fact the muscle itself does not weaken, but the strength of the signals stimulating the muscle appears to be diminished. There are many different muscles that may be used (and some people prefer to use a dowsing technique). Here is an introduction to the basic technique
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.
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Place 2 fingers on the clients 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 Its dark now
You can support the clients arm between statements. Allow them to lower their arm and rest at times so they dont 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
The AMT Yearbook 2003 If at any point in the testing you have had confused responses (strongstrong; weak-weak; or reversed weak where you expect strong), then there are energy imbalances present, and corrections are needed.
Zip-Up
Have the client place one hand level with the pubic bone, palm towards the body. Have them draw the hand up in a zipping motion to the lower lip. Move the hand away from the body before lowering it so as not to unzip again. Cross the left ankle over the right Extend arms out in front and cross right over left. Clasp hands and draw them down and in to rest on the chest Relax and breathe gently and deeply for about a minute
Cooks Hook-Ups
86
If the results are reversed, they are said to have a general reversal (sometimes referred to as a global, or massive reversal). To correct for this, have them rub the tender spot on the chest (between the breast and the collarbone) while repeating three times Even with all my problems and limitations, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. It is possible to test any of a number of other muscles in the body, and it is also possible to self-test.
87
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, its a good idea to begin by testing the following statements. Its OK and helpful to use muscle-testing Its not OK to use muscle-testing Its OK and helpful to muscle-test about this issue Its not-OK to muscle-test about this issue
88
The AMT Yearbook 2003 Remember always to test using paired opposite statements, for example, Im afraid of heights Heights dont frighten me My distress level is 2 out of 10 My distress level is 0 The cause of this problem is a childhood trauma The cause of the problem is not a childhood trauma; The most helpful treatment will be EFT, The most helpful treatment will be TAT
Always support muscle-testing with your own clinical observations and therapeutic skills. Muscle-testing is a useful skill, and one best developed by professional training and plenty of practice. AMT trainings* include a good grounding in manual muscle-testing on clients, self-testing, and surrogate testing. ____________________________________________________________

The AMT Yearbook 2003 therapists and to the general public on a global basis. The AMT's library portal at http://TheAMT.com is the central resource to this end, containing multi-lingual instruction documents in many different formats. The AMT website portal is both a catalyst and a meeting place for all the many and constantly evolving, new and different approaches to Meridian Energy Therapies and Energy Psychology. Continuously updated with new materials and the latest results and work-in-progress in the field, with international practitioner listings across the range of the METs, crosscontextual trainings and conference announcements, it provides a focal point where cross-fertilisation for the entire community takes place. The AMT sponsors the European Energy Therapies conference which is one of the most outstanding platforms for world-wide exchange of learnings, advances and new discoveries in this exciting new field.
The AMT Yearbook 2003 The AMT trainings have since been taken by many hundreds of therapists and health workers from Europe and all around the world and are universally accepted for the thorough, cross-contextual grounding they provide in the emerging field of Meridian Energy Therapies and Energy Psychology.
Training Contents
The Practitioner Certification training pre-supposes at the minimum a working knowledge of EFT from the participants. To this end, the trainers offer introductory trainings for groups of health workers who are not yet familiar with the field, often in conjunction with or before the start of a Practitioner Training.

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.
135
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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. 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 meridian-base 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, trance-states, or near-death experiences (NDE). 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 136
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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. 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
137
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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 spots are connected to specific organs and systems. Chiropractic procedures often incorporate treatment of these spots. One on the chest is rubbed during the EFT Set-Up. 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). Psychological Reversal (PR): Types of Reverse Polarity (also referred to as Energy Reversal); the three types of PR, in order of severity, are Global (also called massive or general) PR, Specific PR (relating to an individual issue) and Criteria-Related PR (relating to blocks to treatment effectiveness such as un-deserving). 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, used by some chiropractors and acupuncturists. Universal Energy Field (UEF): Term used by Barbara Brennan to describe the infinite resource of energy that surrounds and interpenetrates 138
The AMT Yearbook 2003 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.
