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 words of the problem for a shortened version - 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’s major 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 tapping

•   Maximize 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:

(3) Setup - (4) Sequence Tapping - (5)  Reassess Intensity

The Sequence Tapping Points

 (Tap each point about 5-7 times (no need to count), while repeating affirmation phrase)

TOH

Top of Head

With fingers back-to-back down the center of the skull.

EB

Eyebrow

At the beginning of the eyebrow, just above and to one side of the nose.

SE  

Side of Eye.

On the bone bordering the outside corner of the eye.

UE

Under Eye

On the bone under an eye about 1 inch below your pupil

UN

Under Nose

On the small area between the bottom of your nose and the top of your upper lip.

Ch

Chin

Midway between the point of your chin and the bottom of your lower lip. Even though it is not directly on the point of the chin.

 

CB

Beginning of CollarBone

 

To locate, first place your forefinger on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone. From the bottom of the U, move your forefinger down toward the navel 1 inch and then go to the left (or right) 1 inch.

 

UA

Under the Arm

On the side of the body, at a point even with the nipple (for men) or in the middle of the bra strap (for women). It is about 4 inches below the armpit.
