 1.  Close eyes.
 2.  Open eyes.
 3.  Move eyes to lower left.
 4.  Move eyes to lower right.
 5.  Rotate eyes clockwise 360 degrees

Variations:

  1. Instead of the fifth and sixth steps, move the eyes in a horizontal figure-8 (the therapist might draw an infinity sign in the air), first in one direction, then the other.

  2. End by bringing the eyes down to the floor and then slowly bringing them up to the ceiling, projecting sight out into the distance as the eyes move up the arc.

 Blow-Out Zip-Up Hook-in  Return to List  

Blow-Out Zip-Up Hook-in

 
 


Blow Out: Make fists and put arms in front of you with your fists facing up. Take a deep inhalation and swing your arms above your head. With the fists facing toward you, bring your arms down swiftly to the sides, opening your hands, exhaling and releasing the energy charge. Repeat several times.
 

 		 
 


Zip Up: Place hands at groin and drag them slowly straight up the front of the body on an inhalation, leaving the body at the lower lip and continuing up and over your head. Repeat 3 times.
 

 		 
 


Hook In: Place middle finger of one hand at third eye and of the other hand at navel. Press in and pull up. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds.
 

 		 


 Elaborated Cross-Crawl   Return to List  

Elaborated Cross-Crawl

 

A bridging technique that is also a good preliminary before the elaborated cross crawl is to briskly tap the shoulders and neck while breathing deeply. Alternate the tapping between the left and right sides. Then:

 
 
  1. March in place, touching the right hand to the left knee and the left hand to the right knee.
  
 

  1. Continuing the cross-crawl, "hum, count, hum," for about 5 seconds each.

  
 

  1. When completed, circle the eyes in each direction or make figure eight patterns with the eyes.

Connecting Heaven and Earth

 

  1. Rub your hands together and shake them out.
     

  2. Stand with your hands on your thighs and fingers spread.
     

  3. With a deep inhalation, circle your arms out.
     

  4. On the exhalation, bring your hands together in a prayerful position.
     

  5. Again with a deep inhalation, separate your arms from one another, stretching one high above your head and flattening your hand back, as if pushing something above you.

    6.
Connecting Heaven and Earth

  1. Stretch the other arm down, again flattening your hand as if pushing something toward the earth. Stay in this position for as long as is comfortable.
     

  2. Release your breath through your mouth, returning your hands to the prayerful position.
     

  3. Repeat, switching the arm that raises and the arm that lowers. Do one or more additional lifts on each side.
     

  4. Coming out of this pose the final time, bring your arms down and allow your body to fold over at the waist. Hang there with your knees slightly bent as you take two deep breaths. Slowly return to a standing position with a backward roll of the shoulders.

    5.

While steadily tapping the gamut spot (the point between and just below the knuckles of the little finger and the ring finger on the back of either hand):
 

  1. Slowly and steadily roll the eyes upward from the floor to the ceiling.

  2. During this "sweep," send the energy from the eyes outward.

  3. Hold the eyes in the raised position for a few seconds.

Tapping the Gamut Spot


The Third Eye Tap   Return to List

The Third Eye Tap is used when a person is already feeling good. It takes the vibration of a joyous feeling and patterns the nervous system to more easily support that vibration. The first acupuncture point on the meridian that governs the nervous system (bladder) is also at the spot that yogis refer to as the "third eye," between the eyebrows, above the bridge of the nose. When you are feeling happy, deeply satisfied, spiritually connected, in love, or any other joyful feeling, you can, by tapping at your third eye, direct this energy to leave an imprint on your entire nervous system.

At a moment a client is feeling joy or hope or enthusiasm about a future that is untainted by the target problem, he or she may "tap" this feeling into the third eye point. The tapping is firm yet gentle, for about 10 to 20 seconds; the breathing is deliberate.

The human biofield is an electromagnetic field that is detectable using established measuring instruments. It comes several inches out from the skin and surrounds the entire body. The concept of the aura has its basis in the biofield. The aura has been described as an envelope that contains a person’s own energies, protects against harmful energies in the environment, and at the same time connects the person with harmonious energies, including those of other people. Energy healers report that the "health" of the biofield or aura reflects the health of the body along with its vulnerability to taking on diseases and other outside intrusions.

Because your hands carry an electromagnetic charge, you can use them to smooth, trace, and strengthen your aura or biofield—this is almost like giving it a massage. The aura seems to have the best response when "massaged" in figure-8 patterns. When your energies are in a positive state, you can use your hands to "weave your aura" so it constitutes itself around this positive state. Hold the image that initially triggered the problem, with the distress level now at 0 or close enough to 0 that you would like to lock it in, and you can energetically reinforce this internal state by weaving your aura as follows:

  1. With your feet firmly planted, rub your hands together. Then bring your hands a few inches apart and notice if you feel an energy charge between them. Whether or not you can detect it, it is there, and you will be using it to magnetically weave the energies on the surface of your body in figure-8 patterns.
     

  2. Take a deep breath as you hold your hands about six inches from your ears. Tune into the image or thought that no longer evokes a stress reaction.
     

  3. Make small figure-8s at your ears and begin to increase the movement until your hands are making small and large figure-8 patterns all the way down your body, on the sides, front, and back. Use a free-flow rather than rigid structure, moving the energy to your own inner rhythm.
     

  4. As you do, imagine that you are weaving your energies into a seamless fabric.
