MTT
Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT) - Basic instructions / Recipe
MTT - Basic Recipe
(1) Identify
the issue
Make a mental note of just ONE problem that
is bothering you.
(2) Establish
initial level of intensity of your problem.
Assign a number on a 0-10 scale to indicate the Intensity level of
your problem relative to how it has been before E.g. 10 is the worst your problem
has ever been.
For emotional issues - recreate the memories
in your mind and assess their discomforts.
For physical
ailments - assess the existing pain or discomfort.
For performance issues - attempt the desired performance level and
measure how close you come to it.
A Round includes:
(3) Setup -
(4) Sequence Tapping -
(5) Reassess Intensity
(3) The Setup Repeat this Affirmation Phrase 3 times to (1) "Tune in" to your
problem (2) Create self-acceptance:
"Even though I have this (briefly describe problem),
I deeply and completely accept myself"
while continuously tapping
the Karate Chop Point (KC) (see Karate
Chop Point );
On subsequent rounds: you can use just the key - called a "Reminder Phrase".
For best results, MTT needs to be applied to specific
events or problems that underlie your problem
(E.g. for a headache , which was brought
on by an argument, you could say "Even though I argued
with___, . . . "
Reduce a general problem to a small number of specific
problems or events in your life - after cutting down 5-10 "trees",
the "forest" has thinned out enough to enable you to "walk" out. i.e. the
MTT process seems to have a generalization effect that takes care of all the related
problems.
(4) Sequence Tapping
Remove blocked energy pathways in
the body - bytapping on one end point of each of the body'smajor energy pathways,
while "tuning in"to your problem.
Tap solidly but not
enough to hurt; Tap points in order
given -easier to remember;It doesn't matter
which side you use - or if you switch hands during tappingMaximize results,
by using both hands at once, but alternate the tapping - so you are not tapping
both hands in sync.
Tap the FINGERTIPS of ALL YOUR FINGERS about 5-7 times (no need to count) on each of the following
energy points:
TOH,
EB ,
SE ,
UE ,
UN ,
Ch ,
CB ,
UA ,
WR (see Sequence Tapping Points
)
WHILE REPEATING THE AFFIRMATION PHRASE (or a shorter, reminder
version of it) at each point.
Keep fingers gently
relaxed and forming a slightly curved natural line. Ideally use fingertips
not pads - since they contain more meridian points; obviously use pads with
long fingernails;Don't worry about
being precise - as tapping the general area will suffice;Number of taps is
not critical - but should last about one complete breath;
(5) Reassess intensity of problem to determine success of previous round On a score of 1-10
If necessary, do the Round Again :
