Although each meridian contains between 9 and 67 acupoints, the meridian treatment charts have been limited to no more than 6 interventions each. The treatments indicated on the charts are selected based on clinical experience within energy psychology and energy medicine. As emphasized in the text, it is not a matter of some points being "right" and some being "wrong," but rather a judgment call about which interventions are most likely to have the desired effect with the greatest proportion of people the greatest proportion of the time.

Similarly, any number of "verbal treatments" or affirmations may be effective with a particular meridian under specific circumstances. The "sample affirmations" presented on the charts suggest general themes to be adapted to the clinical situation.
