Chapter 3 Restoration of strength, saturation with energy, improvement of well-being

Characteristics of the main points for tapping

First of all, we need to master the basic technique of tapping active points. It can be used as an independent method for improving well-being, recuperation, daily harmonization of one's condition. But it is also a training method, which is necessary so that later, on its basis, we can apply specific methods for solving certain problems.

Let's get acquainted with a detailed description of all the points we need to work. One of them you already know is the karate point. In our method, its main purpose is to maintain the right level of energy and positive self-esteem. For the basic technique, knowledge of eight more points located on the face, head and upper body will be required. Here is their detailed description and serial numbers, which we will designate these points further for convenience.

1. Point at the inner edge of the eyebrow. Its Chinese name is quan-zhu, which can roughly be translated as "Thickets of bamboo." Even in ancient times, Chinese healers revealed the direct connection of this point with the activity of the brain. Moreover, they perceived the brain precisely as the receptacle of the vital spirit. That is why work with this point is especially effective for the treatment of ailments associated with a decline in vitality, lack of energy and a disorder of the vital spirit.

2. Point at the outer corner of the eye - Tong Tzu ("Pupil"). It is located at the outer corner of the eye at the level of the pupil. It is connected not only with the health of the eyes and head, but also with the ability to clearly see and understand the essence of what is happening to you, including being aware of your condition, and any healing begins with awareness.

3. Point under the eye - Sy-bai ("Four whites"), is located approximately one centimeter below the lower edge of the orbit, strictly under the pupil. This point is also called expanding and enlightening - it gives the energies necessary not only to expand the field of view, but also for the ability to perceive reality in its true light. It is necessary to tap this point carefully, gently, avoiding strong blows.

4. Point above the upper lip, closer to the nose, in the nasolabial fold - Shui-gou ("Water Channel"). This is a very important point, it allows you to awaken the vital forces, even if a person is in a critical condition, both physical and psychological, and even when the channels of the vital forces are completely clogged. The impact on it saves with fainting, dizziness, convulsions, motion sickness, removes from stupor and prostration, and sometimes even helps with coma. Working with this point is able to instantly remove blockages of energy.

5. Point in the center of the chin - Cheng-jiang ("Liquid intake"). This point brings the vital forces into balance, saves both from their insufficient activity and from their excessive activity. Therefore, the impact on this point heals both apathy, despondency and depression, as well as violent seizures, hysteria and insanity. With its help, the harmony of the vital spirit is achieved.

6. Point under the collarbone - Shu-fu ("Heart of dots"), located two cun outwards from the midline of the body. This point is also called the place where the movement of energy begins.

It is connected with the lungs and is responsible for both breathing and the free flow of vital forces, as well as their fullness and saturation.

7. A point on the lateral surface of the body, six cun below the armpit - Da-bao ("Big hug"). This point improves the flow of energy throughout the body, first of all, it relieves weakness, lack of strength. It also relieves pain throughout the body and helps overcome joint weakness. Returns the freedom of breathing, and hence the supply of energy to the body.

8. Point at the crown - Bai Hui (One Hundred Crossings). It is located in the center of the crown, seven cun above the back of the hair and five cun above the front of the hair. You can also find it if you mentally connect the tops of the auricles with one line passing through the center of the head. At the intersection of this line and the midline of the body, the Bai Hui point is located. In accordance with its name, many energy channels cross at once in it, and therefore this point is the most important for healing both physical and psychological. It helps to overcome almost all ailments associated with a lack of energy. It is able to instantly return energy in case of fatigue or "blackout" due to illness or psychological problems.

Additional hand preparation: opening energy channels on the fingers

So, we have listed all the points we need to apply the basic method.

Important: we will tap the points in exactly the order in which they are listed. This is necessary to get the best result.

To perform the basic tapping method to improve overall well-being and rejuvenation, we also need additional preparation of the hands, namely, the opening of energy channels on the fingers.

In the corners of the nails there are biologically active points that belong to the energy channels of our body. For the practice to be effective, the points must be open to receiving and transmitting energy. This will help create a real flow of energy in the body. By the way, the exercise of opening channels has independent significance. It can be done in the morning and also in the evening before bed.

To open channels, perform the following sequence of actions.

1. Bend your elbows so that your hands are in front of your chest.

2. With the pads of the thumb and middle fingers of the right hand, grab the side surfaces of the thumb at its base and pull along these surfaces, as if you want to extend the finger. Repeat one more time.

Then alternately stretch each finger of the left hand along the side surfaces in the same way. Then change hands and repeat with each finger of the right hand, grabbing their lateral surfaces alternately with the thumb and middle fingers of the left hand.

3. Massage with the pad of your thumb alternately the pads of each finger of the opposite hand - first one, then the other. To do this, grab the upper phalanx of the massaged finger with the pads of the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand (index - from the side of the nail, large - from the side of the pad).

Your hands are ready to receive and transmit energy!

Basic tapping method. Revive vitality and fill with energy

In order for the method to work more effectively, it is necessary, as in the preliminary stage, to combine tapping with psychological work, namely with statements that will tune you in a positive way, and therefore give a burst of energy.

Note: some points are paired, all of them, except for point 7, are tapped with both hands at the same time. Point 7 is tapped alternately on each side of the body with the opposite hand.

Recall: the points are tapped with the pads of the index and middle fingers folded together and slightly bent at a speed of about four beats per second. Tap each point for as long as it takes to slowly pronounce the corresponding statement three times, but longer is possible. Keep track of how you feel - tap as long as you want to continue. Each next point must be passed without interruption.

Here is a diagram of the whole work.

Tap two points 1 at the same time, gradually increasing the force of the blows so that it is about the same as when typing on a computer keyboard, while saying aloud, in a whisper or to yourself the statement: "I am filled with vitality."

Tap both points at the same time with 2 strong enough blows, uttering the statement: "I clearly see and realize everything that happens."

Tap both points 3 at the same time, making soft, light strokes, with the following statement: "I happily and gratefully accept myself and my life as it is."

Tap point 4 with sufficiently strong strokes of the fingers of either hand with the affirmation: "I release blockages of energy and allow my life force to flow freely."

Tap point 5 with sufficiently strong strokes of the fingers of any hand with the words: "I bring my energy into balance and come to the harmony of the vital spirit."

Tap both points at the same time 6. It is most convenient to do this with your arms crossed over your chest, that is, each point is tapped with the opposite hand. The blows should be moderately strong. At the same time, the statement is pronounced: “I gain emotional and spiritual freedom, I gain the fullness and richness of life energy.”

Tap points 7 alternately, it is best to do this with the opposite hand. Start with any of these points, left or right, it doesn't matter. The blows must be strong enough. Simultaneously say the affirmation: "Power fills me, my body, my mind and my spirit gain power and energy to heal."

Tap point 8 with very light, soft strokes with the affirmation, “I am recovering. I am healing. I find a new life full of joy, success and prosperity.

You can choose your own statements, similar in meaning. The main thing is that they sound organic and convincing to you.

If you want to always be in the best shape, it is advisable to do this tapping every day. But from the very first day, be very attentive to yourself and your feelings. Tapping is absolutely safe and can significantly improve your well-being and mood. But since it is associated with the activation of energy, you may begin to notice areas of energy blockage in your body that were previously invisible. In general, this is a positive process, because if such blocks appear, then they are ready to be worked out. But at first, not very pleasant sensations of tension, and maybe soreness in some areas of the body, may be associated with this. If this happens, there is no need to be afraid, these phenomena will pass as you work further. But in order to alleviate your condition (as well as for prevention), it is very useful to conduct a special cycle of massage movements daily, designed to eliminate energy stagnation. It is useful for self-healing, and to increase vitality, and to improve mood.

"Acceleration of energy": daily massage of stagnant zones

1. Start the massage by tapping the head - perform a “finger rain”, tapping the entire scalp with small, fractional movements in the direction from the forehead to the back of the head.

2. Then massage the same area with light ruffling pinching movements, slightly grabbing the scalp and, if possible, pulling it back a little.

3. Perform a hand massage: stretch one hand forward and with all the fingers of the other hand, spank it vigorously from the palm to the shoulder - first the outer surface, then the inner. Don't be afraid to spank hard, even to the point of redness! Then do the same with the other hand.

4. Now you need to tap the side surfaces of the body from the armpits to the waist. We do this with the pads of the index and middle fingers folded together (as in the basic tapping method). Tap each side surface from top to bottom for two minutes.

5. Then alternately knead each armpit with the palm of the opposite hand, in a circular motion.

6. Warm up the shoulder joints by grabbing the shoulder with the palm of the opposite hand and making circular movements.

7. Reach your hands behind your neck and use the fingers of both hands to vigorously knead the base of your neck on either side of your spine.

8. Then, with gripping pinching movements of both hands, vigorously knead the collar area and upper back as far as you can reach. This is the area where energy stagnations most often occur, and they need to be dispersed “manually”, because otherwise this area is very difficult to relax.

Ancient Oriental Practices to Help Modern Man

Notice that the more stress and negative emotions in your life, the more your body is clamped and tense. The body becomes "hard", and the most interesting thing is that this affects both the character and behavior of a person. Maybe you met tough people and they seemed strong to you? But it is possible that these are just highly stressed people. They carry in themselves psychological traumas that have not been experienced and worked out, because of which they seem to be clad in armor. Such people only look strong, but in fact they are neither successful nor very happy. It is no coincidence that Eastern wisdom says: where the soft bends, the hard will break. In addition, such a tough person loses the ability to feel normally, adequately perceive the world. He is driven by hard negative programs recorded in his brain. This means that they can no longer create anything positive in their lives.

And in the East they say this: death is a loss of elasticity. It turns out that if we become tough, then life slowly leaves us.

If you feel that there is a certain rigidity in you, if your body is tense and it is difficult for you to relax, if you easily succumb to negative emotions, start using methods and techniques to help relax your muscles, release tension and, as a result, become more free and in physical and psychological sense.

These are methods based on ancient Eastern practices. They are time-tested, and their value lies in the fact that they bring soul and body, mind and psyche to harmony. And, of course, they clean energy channels, open active points, eliminate energy stagnation and fill you with strength very quickly. You can practice them daily, and the results will be noticeable very soon: your condition will begin to improve day by day, your mood will improve, nervousness and irritability will pass, it will be easier for you to live, work, and communicate with people.

Exercise "Big Tree"

In China, they say that the Big Tree forms the Big Man. Formation occurs due to the energy of the sky (in which the crown of the tree) and the earth (where its roots are). Exercise is best done in the morning. In the evening after the Big Tree, there is an overabundance of energy, which makes it difficult to sleep.

Stage 1. Opening energy channels

Before practicing the Big Tree, open the energy channels on the fingers and toes by tapping:

standing, pat both palms alternately on the inside and outside, then sit on the floor with your legs extended forward, and pat your right and left feet inside and out with your palms.

Stage 2. Practicing the "Big Tree"

1. Starting position: standing, feet shoulder-width apart, feet parallel to each other, knees slightly bent. We keep our back straight, the pelvis moves forward a little. Imagine that you have a third point of support - a massive kangaroo tail. The neck should be elongated and straight, for this the chin should be slightly lowered, and the head should be “suspended” by the top of the head. Relax the body, the tongue touches the upper palate, the eyes are closed.

2. Imagine that your feet grow deep into the earth, become the roots of a large tree. Roots absorb moisture, nutrients, and energy from the earth.

3. Then imagine your torso growing high into the sky, reaching into the clouds, growing through the clouds into the sunlight. There, the body freely receives the energy of the sky, the cosmos, and itself becomes huge, like the cosmos.

4. Raise your hands to the level of the navel. Move your elbows away from your body. Imagine that you are pressing a rubber ball towards you with your elbows. The palms are rounded, as if they really hold this ball. Try to feel this ball between the navel and the palms.

5. Now imagine that the ball between the navel and the palms begins to grow and grows so large that you find yourself inside the ball. You are as big as space, but the ball is even bigger. It is filled with live energies, vibrates and even sounds like music. You can feel this energy.

6. Then imagine that the ball begins to shrink and the energy inside it thickens. The shell of the ball is already passing through your body, and soon it will again be between the navel and the palms.

7. Imagine that the ball grows and decreases three times, you find yourself inside the ball three times, then again hold it between your palms and the navel.

8. Finishing the exercise, place your palms one on top of the other on the navel (for women, the left palm is on top, for men, the right). Imagine that you are slowly squeezing the ball and placing it under your palms. There it still decreases and turns into a point. Feel its hot pulsation under your palms. Then open your eyes.

Stage 3. Exit the exercise by patting

1. Pat the outer and inner surface of the palm of your hand with a massaging hand until you feel heat. Change hands. Intense patting helps to balance the energy of heaven and earth. If the temperature of the palms is different after the Big Tree, it means that the balance of energies has not yet been achieved.

2. Apply gentle slaps on the face (from the chin to the hair). Then from the center of the forehead to its side surfaces. Then pat your cheeks down from your temples to your chin. Pat your ears. When patting the face after the Big Tree, the skin is massaged with an energy field. With regular patting, the skin acquires a healthy look. Patting the ears affects all systems, since there are projections of the internal organs on the auricle (active points associated with the organs of the body).

3. Relax your palms. With soft light movements, pat your head from the back of your head to your forehead. Patting promotes the opening of biologically active points on the head, normalizes the energy of the brain.

4. Perform several movements with soft, rounded fingers, combing your hair like a comb, from the forehead to the back of the head, and from the temples to the back of the head.

5. Knead the ears with your fingers and rub them until you feel “burning ears”. If, when rubbing your ears, you find pain points, intensify rubbing on them: additional energy concentrated in the palms will be directed to the corresponding organs in which there are any pathologies or functional disorders.

6. With a soft palm, clap on the arm from the shoulder to the wrist, on the outside and inside of the arm. Clap both hands alternately.

7. With both hands, pat the torso from the neck to the pubis, then pat the entire lumbar region.

8. Clap your legs from hip to ankle on all sides.

9. Now pat your back from the bottom up along the spine. With regular intensive patting, the body begins to react to blows not as harshly as before, but takes them gently and painlessly.

10. Rub your palms and warm the kidney area with them.

During the exercise, a lot of saliva is formed in the mouth. The more practice, the more wonderful the taste of this saliva: it becomes sweet with a flowery aftertaste. When you swallow it, it has a healing effect on the stomach lining.

Reactions of the body and mind that accompany the exercise

The passage of energy through the body causes different sensations and emotions, which are compared with the influence of the elements, colors, etc. We will consider typical reactions of the physical body and consciousness.

Standard reactions inherent in all practitioners.

1. If the energies in the body are not balanced, there is an alternate sensation cold or heat Almost everyone has this reaction. Some people experience constant chills during the first weeks of practice. No need to warm yourself from the outside with a hot shower or drink! It is necessary to intensify the practice of the Big Tree. The body does not oppose the practice, on the contrary, it itself continues to change after the end of classes. Endure the state, do not change it artificially, if you are sure that the chill is caused precisely by the “Big Tree”, and not by hypothermia in your free time.

2. There may be a feeling different temperatures left and right palms. This is a normal reaction. Martial arts masters cultivated such a property in the body to a grandiose temperature difference in order to strike the enemy either with cold or with heat.

3. Feeling heat arises when energy is intensively received from outside. Especially with the mental image of a reduced ball filled with energy. The heat in the navel or center of the chest may be unbearable. At the same time, the heartbeat quickens and sweat is plentiful.

4. " Goosebumps" and itching skin appear when opening biologically active points. Unblocking the points of the head gives a particularly unbearable itch on the scalp. There is a feeling of "goosebumps" with vibration, they roll in waves, arouse interest in the practitioner, without causing trouble. Vibration it can be so strong, as if electric wires are stretched through the body.

5. Sometimes "goosebumps" appear with pain, this means that the process of opening biologically active points is very intensive. After a while, the skin and the entire body may appear porous and blown. This is a borderline condition that requires attention to the body. You can not take cold water procedures (also contrast), so as not to harm.

6. Feeling weightlessness body arises during the transition to a new state. It indicates that the practitioner has managed to relax and get distracted from the physical body. Weightlessness and lightness are expected states.

7. severity body may indicate an inability to relax. However, it can also be a consequence of the entry of energy, when the legs swell, the fingers swell, the energy is redistributed and the blood supply to the tissues changes. This feeling will pass with time.

8. When a large amount of energy is received, there may be stuffy ears and humming in my head. This way of energy entry sometimes predetermines the aggravation of hearing in the future.

9. If the energy penetrates the area between the eyebrows, the practitioner can see flashes of bright light like inside the head.

10. Various visions“from other worlds”, “voices”, “meetings with saints” are rare and are an illusion that has nothing to do with the truth. This is just a splash of your impressions from past experience. Don't pay any attention to him. Ignore the visions, no matter how interesting they are! Visions pull back into oneself, and the practitioner must receive vital energy from outside.

11. Finally, after doing the Big Tree exercise, the physical body tired- this is normal. But the energy rises and the mood improves!

Reactions that occur with various diseases

1. When passing through blocked areas of the energy channels, pain occurs. An acute pain sensation is possible when the energy abruptly passes the clogged area. If the pain passes quickly enough and does not return, then the disease recedes.

Pain may appear under the guise of an exacerbation of a chronic disease. It may take several weeks. If the practice is stopped, the pain recedes completely or acquires a wandering character. This means that the accumulation of energy is slow, the metabolism is disturbed, or the body is oversaturated with drugs. Practice must be continued, no complications will follow! Energy does its job, try to accumulate it, overcoming discomfort.

After suffering injuries, in case of chronic inflammation of the joints, internal organs, maxillary sinuses, etc., pain (often discomfort) is natural. The practice is going well, we must continue it.

2. If a practitioner suffers from cardiovascular disease, especially hypertension, or is physically weak, it may feel like they are fainting while doing the exercise. In this case, one must stop the practice and tap (or press firmly) the point under the nose on the upper lip. With your thumbs, massage the temples and the entire area where the hair starts to grow. Cessation of practice is not advisable, the condition gradually improves and cheerfulness appears.

3. If the practitioner's nervous system is often excited and there are numerous clamps on the nerves and energy channels, the energy cannot break through them and begins to look for workarounds. In these cases, vibrations of the whole body may accompany the practice. Try to relax well. If the vibrations are out of control, press hard on the point on the back of the hand at the base of the thumb where it joins the palm. This point is also called the point of resuscitation, it instantly brings to life and adds energy. Finding it is easy: you need to press your thumb against your palm and see where the crease between your palm and thumb ends. This point is located there - you will find it by slight soreness when pressed. Massage these points first on one, then on the other hand, then fold your hands on the navel.

4. In some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea and vomiting occur. Empty your stomach and continue the practice.

5. Strong swings can occur when the muscle corset is enslaved. The body seeks to relax it, this happens in 2-3 days.

Intense movements and swings associated with overexcitation of the nervous system, past injuries (especially of the spine) are caused by a spasm of energy channels. In this case, practice Big Tree with your eyes open and for no more than thirty minutes.

6. Crying, laughter, other emotional sound reactions to the practice are not an obstacle to continuing the lessons. It is believed that sound reactions are caused by diseases of the heart, lungs or other internal organs. Sounds help the fastest healing, there is no need to restrain them and generally pay attention to these reactions.

Exercise "Small celestial circle"

The exercise "Small heavenly circle" solves the same problems as the previous exercise: it nurtures vitality. It is especially useful for sluggish blood flow, vascular hypotension.

The practice of the "Small Heavenly Circle"

1. Starting position: sitting on the tip of a chair, or on the floor on a small pillow, or cross-legged in Turkish style. The chin is slightly lowered to straighten the neck, and the head is "suspended" by the top of the head (as in "Big Tree"). The eyes are slightly closed, so that the light penetrates through the eyelids. The tongue touches the upper palate, the hands are folded in the navel: in women, the right hand is below, the left is above; for men, the opposite is true.

2. Focus on the navel area. Imagine and feel a hot ball in it.

3. On inspiration, the stomach is drawn in. Lightly push it inward with your hands. The ball rushes to the stomach. We press the buttocks and squeeze the anus. The ball rushes to the crotch. We retract the stomach, continue to squeeze the anus - the ball moves up to the chest. We try to “trace” its movement as high as possible, to the crown (Bai Hui point).

4. Exhale air, let go of the stomach, relax the body. The ball of energy moves from the top of the head to the upper palate. Rolls over the tongue, then slides smoothly down to the navel.

5. Another cycle of "inhale - exhale" and another "rise - lower" energy ball to the navel.

Exercise in most cases is performed no more than twenty minutes.

Exit from the exercise

The exit from the exercise is necessary so that the energy does not stagnate in the head and heart area and pressure does not increase. The energy should go down, this is facilitated by rubbing and patting.

1. With soft fingers, "comb" the hair from the forehead to the back of the head and from the temples to the back of the head. Tap the scalp with your fingertips.

2. Knead the ears with your fingers and rub them until you feel “burning ears”. Pat your ears with your palms.

3. With a soft palm, clap on the arm from the shoulder to the wrist, on the outside and inside of the arm. Both hands alternately.

4. With both hands, pat the torso from the neck to the pubis, then the entire lumbar region.

5. Clap your legs from hip to ankle on all sides.

Reactions of the body and consciousness accompanying the "Small Celestial Circle"

1. Pain in the first days of practice is normal. They are caused by stagnation in energy channels. Pain can occur along the movement of energy: internal organs, spine, nasopharynx. These are normal healing reactions.

2. When energy passes from the crown down, pain, tingling, flashes of light in front of the eyes, pressure on the eyes occur. This means that the movement of the energy ball is active. There is no need to be afraid of such feelings!

3. The main reactions of the body come after a few weeks of practice: the activity of the brain is activated, the body becomes more energetic, there is a desire for movement and an active life. Pretty soon you will notice an improvement in memory.

John Diamond is an innovator in the field of alternative and holistic medicine. His field of work is the result of over forty-five years of research and clinical practice. Today he is one of the foremost specialists in holistic medicine. Dr. Diamond is a consultant in this field, bringing together his expertise in traditional and alternative medicine, psychiatry, the humanities, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, the spiritual realm, and the arts (especially music) to help people overcome problems of the body, mind, and spirit. John Diamond has helped thousands of people get rid of incurable diseases, not only by giving lectures and private consultations, but also by offering simple techniques and devices to increase Vital Energy. The doctor believes that any kind of art can heal a person. One of the most effective ways to achieve this goal, Dr. Diamond considers playing musical instruments. According to the doctor, trumpets, drums, castanets and bones have the greatest potential. It offers hand-picked trumpets and drums, as well as hand-crafted castanets and bones. Paintings, photographs and drawings also have therapeutic potential when produced for this purpose. For many years, Dr. Diamond has researched hundreds of models of equipment and tools for the production of healing drawings and photographs, which are his original works. Finally, drawings of "frozen images", painted in a state of meditation and photographs with healing powers, came to light.

Just like audio, video production lost much of its positive charge when it became a digital recording. Based on the results of thousands of tests on various people, John Diamond proved that the negative impact of digital recording on people (including headaches, fatigue, visual impairment, hearing loss, memory impairment) can be reduced to a minimum. Dr. Diamond offers a revolutionary solution to this problem - "cured" digital records.

Also in the field of audio products, John Diamond, on the basis of his research, invented an innovative device that heals with the help of special music and vibrations emanating from it. It must be applied to certain points of the meridians of the body, responsible for the internal organs, and thereby eradicate the disease itself, and not its symptoms.

John Diamond was born in Australia. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Sydney Medical School in 1957 and a residency in psychiatry in 1962, receiving the Notton-Manning Prize in Psychiatry. His numerous degrees and awards speak for themselves.

As one of the oldest holistic healers, Dr. Diamond, over 50 years of research, realized the presence of the greatest healing power in a person - the Energy of Life, and paid special attention to ways to increase this Energy to release the body's own healing powers. John Diamond is the discoverer of the connection between emotions and disturbances in the acupuncture meridians. His field of work spans a wide range of disciplines and is the result of over forty-five years of research and clinical practice.

John Diamond has taught a vast number of clinical and university classes in clinical psychiatry and the fundamental sciences and humanities. More than 20 of Diamond's books are bestsellers, including Your Body Doesn't Lie, Life Energy: Unlock the Hidden Powers of Your Emotions to Be Healthy, and more. His books have become world famous and have been translated into German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish, Japanese and Greek. Your Body Doesn't Lie, Life Energy and the recently released Color Meditation are now available in Russian.

Dr. Diamond currently practices as a holistic counselor, combining her knowledge of therapy, psychiatry, alternative medicine, the humanities, applied kinesiology, acupuncture and the arts to help patients overcome body, mind and spirit challenges.

"Vital energy". John Diamond

The work of the thyroid gland is reflected in the character of a person. Those who have reduced thyroid function are melancholy, lethargic, sad, and do not experience joy in life. People suffering from increased function of this organ are nervous, irritable, aggressive. And in a family, for example, it can be difficult if someone has such emotions, family members do not understand the reason for this, so misunderstandings and conflicts occur.

John Diamond, in his book Vital Energy, tells us not about the thyroid gland itself, but about the thyroid meridian. This meridian corresponds to the meridian of the three heaters in Oriental medicine. Thyroid disorder entails disorder and weakness of the muscles, this is accordingly due to the disorder of the thyroid meridian.

The meridian receives energy from three sources: one energy from the redox work of the cells of our body, the other from food, as soon as we eat we are already warm, and even hot in summer. The third energy way of receiving energy is the sexual chakras, therefore, when we like someone, it becomes hot, stuffy and the heart beats very strongly. If a person is hot or cold, this meridian of the thyroid gland helps him to cool down or vice versa to warm up. The meridian runs throughout the body. It starts from the ring finger, goes along the entire arm, passes along the neck, from there to the lungs, affects the heart, passes through the stomach, descends to the bladder, to the genitals, returns back, near the collarbone, goes back to the neck, goes around the ear and ends above the eyebrow. Therefore, in those who have a reduced function of the thyroid gland, the eyebrows begin to thin out at a certain age.

John Diamond in his book "Vital Energy" analyzes a number of emotional disturbances, which gives a violation of the thyroid meridian, such as despondency, unhappiness, disappointment, depression. Depression, he believes, is a lowered mood in a person, which is accompanied by hopelessness, despair, a feeling of loneliness, and can be irritability. This is not the classic depression that we need to treat in clinical psychiatry, it's just a state of low mood. And despondency is considered one of the recognized mortal sins, it is accompanied by despair, we do not believe in God. All this is not a situation in which a person has fallen, but some kind of disorder in the meridian of the thyroid gland and in particular in the thyroid gland.

Very often, such people come to a variety of doctors, they prescribe them a variety of medications that slightly improve their mood, but at the same time worsen the functioning of internal organs and immunity. It is better to use music programs. But in no case should you listen to music in digital format.

Music must be live or it will not have the desired effect. LiteDigit is a format that preserves the vibrations of the natural sound of a musical instrument, the vibrations are transmitted to our organs and correct violations. Listening to music that brings us pleasure and joy, we harmonize this meridian, restore energy flows, remove all the blocks that form.

Let's see how music is related to the thyroid meridian and how it can help us to stay optimistic, calm and joyful.

List of works:

1. Symphony in G minor by Mozart (minor works harmonize the physiological processes in the body, correspond to the vibration of the sound of the thyroid gland.) Mozart's music, also written by psychotherapists, also relieves mental stress.
2. Rossini - "Overture of the Barber of Siberia" . This work already leads to a sense of balance, to an optimistic attitude, such music is chosen to harmonize all body systems.
3. glitch was a contemporary of Mozart. They were one row of composers. His music is identical in effect to us with the music of Mozart.
4. Brahms "Hungarian Dances" . Written in the key of G minor. Dances are fast, they relieve tension well.
5. Bach - relieves intellectual tension. Bach's music is the music of the cosmos. Helps restore energy, connects our mind with the cosmos.
6. Rachmaninov - C minor piano music - it is this music that cleanses the thyroid gland, music therapists write.

Tapping method - improving the psychological state

Our next chapter is devoted to a relatively young method of treatment and diagnosis, which in America and Europe is called tapping method .

It is based on traditional Chinese and Japanese massage, and overlaps with them in many ways. Its individuality lies in the emphasis on the psychological component of treatment. The simplest tapping massages on the back of the head have been used since ancient times to excite vitality, to concentrate thinking in responsible moments among officials, pundits and schoolchildren. Our neurologists, neuropathologists, reflexologists could not ignore this method of influence, because it gives an interesting result. In the process of such a massage, you can stimulate and excite the nervous system, bring deep emotions, unwanted subconscious attitudes and programs to the surface. And not just pull them to the surface, but also erase them like unnecessary programs. Ruthlessly destroy the negativity accumulated over the years, which gives painful attitudes to the whole body.

The tapping method works with any manifestation of emotional stress. With anxiety, fear, dangerous addiction, overwhelming guilt, belief that limits our success and prosperity. These results were achieved by reflexologists who work with patients with diseases that seem not directly related to stress. At first, reflexology was used in official medicine as an excellent method of treatment for neurological pain, allergies, and immune diseases. But it turned out that massage also eliminates such a basis of immunodeficiency as stress.

How does tapping work on the body?

Oriental reflexology is built on the fact that not only ill health, but also any life problem, in principle, begins at the energy level. The right impact on the energy system destroys the root of the problem. Tapping changes the neutron bonds that in the past have provoked painful reactions or painful behaviors. After several sessions carried out in the desired area of ​​our body, we get emotional freedom. And this is just an addition to the general improvement of the body, which is generally aimed at reflexology. By the way, in chronic or acute diseases, tapping can remove the emotional stress caused by the pathology within a few minutes. It is very important! It's no secret that depressing thoughts about the disease, suspiciousness, hypochondria often cause more harm to the body than the disease itself!

The method of tapping is convenient precisely because outside help is needed only at first, and this help is only theoretical! The practitioner needs to find out the location of the reflex points and get comfortable with the psychological attitudes. This is what we will do!

Quite a bit of theory

The tapping method combines two important components: finger movement and mental accompaniment. Fingers work with energy points, and thinking is focused on liberation from problems that have arisen in the body - physical or psychological. We can imagine how to work with our psychological clamps. Because each of us has personal experience of overcoming some spiritual problems. After all, we seriously learn this from early childhood throughout our lives. And if they had not learned anything, they would not have come to the need to develop opportunities. Reflexotherapy, however, puts forward its own requirements for psychological attitudes, and we will follow them in the course of mastering the method.

Let's remember basic postulate Eastern reflexology: a person is healthy as long as the continuous movement of energy in each of his energy channels is maintained. And we ourselves are able to stimulate vital energy if we begin to influence energy flows. In the previous chapter, we learned how to act on pressure points.

And now we will strike at active surface zones that are capable of transmitting touch energy to the epicenter of the disease.

Psychological setting

To start the psychological adjustment, and at the same time prepare the massaging hand for monotonous tapping, let's do exercises for the fingers. The following exercise should be performed by a massage therapist before starting any manual practice: traditional massage, tapping, acupressure (hand pressure).

Manual therapy does not have either weak electric currents (like electrophoresis), or an artificial heat source (like UHF), but only clean and warm hands of a massage therapist! They must be energetically properly prepared. If you are doing massage (tapping) to someone from your family, the contact will be more effective. If you are busy with self-massage, then your own healing begins with the preparation of the hands.

Hand preparation

1. Imagine that you are washing your hands in the usual circular motions under a stream of warm water. By the way, the reception can be carried out in the form of a real hand washing under running warm water.

2. Vigorously stretch the joints. 10 times sharply and quickly clench your fingers into a fist and slowly unclench.

3. Then reverse movements: slowly clench your fingers into fists, and then sharply open them like a fan (10 times).

4. With the fingertips of both hands, vigorously tap each other to cause a surge of strength in the fingers.

5. Again we rub our palms in a circular rotation, as when washing our hands, and this is where we finish the preparation.

Stages of mood

The main task of the psychological attitude is to remove the negative attitude. Let's let's decide what it means for us, practitioners of reflexology, a negative attitude. The concept is extremely broad, but we are busy with a specific matter - the impact on the energy meridians. We are interested in how wrong attitudes can interfere with the elimination of energy stagnation.

Negative attitude in psychology is the focus on the shortcomings:

On what we lack, instead of thinking about what we have;

On what threatens us, and not on what are the resources for recovery;

On the shortcomings of the body, and not on its strengths;

On the previous negative experience of treatment, on recurring pain, on disturbing test results, and not on positive dynamics, a satisfactory condition today, and so on.

There is no doubt that even with such attitudes we will be able to start treatment and recover! The instinct of self-preservation forces any person to health-improving actions, even in a difficult physical condition: sleep, saving strength - this is also recovery! Sound sleep is enough to get rid of headaches associated with excess or lack of energy. But influencing one's own energy meridians, overcoming fear and disbelief, is just as difficult as interacting with another person if the relationship is aggravated by hostility, fear, fear or guilt.

The reasons for the negative attitude during illness are associated with impaired physiology and unfavorable hormonal levels. The "negative" chemistry of the body gives rise to our hypochondria, and at the same time creates additional blockages in the energy vessels. And we fall into a vicious circle, into a trap. How do masters of Eastern practices break out of this trap? Create an emotional mood for treatment!

1. The initial step in mental attitude is a clear indication of the disease. When we treat a chronic disease, the diagnosis must be made by a physician. You can not invent gastritis, vegetative-vascular dystonia or bronchitis. It is necessary that the diagnosis be known for certain, and then we will begin treatment.

If tapping is performed solely for psychotherapeutic purposes, a visit to a psychologist is unnecessary! We will try to define the problem ourselves and evaluate it on a ten-point scale. The initial evaluation is very important. Therefore, focus on the degree of unpleasant emotions, and intuition will tell you how much to rate them: from 1 - "this is not a problem at all" to 10 - "worse than nowhere."

2. The next stage is called main statement. At this stage, we do tapping at the karate points on the edges of the palm (Fig. 3.1), and out loud two or three times we indicate the problem, and then our calm and reasonable attitude to the problem. For example, in this format:

“Even though I have a pollen allergy that comes out in the spring, during flowering, I still feel healthy and have no worries about the future.”
Or like this:
“I am afraid of the exam (I eat too much, I am restless, I am not always collected), but I love myself and forgive myself for small weaknesses.”

Rice. 3.1
Do you disagree with these statements? Of course not! In fact, we fear that allergies will spoil a walk in the forest, that excitement will prevent us from doing well in an exam, that restlessness conflicts with our excellent inclinations, that lack of concentration is noticeable not only to us, but also to others.

It seems to you that the proposed designs are inappropriate, do not correspond to the sensations, and you do not want to be cunning with yourself. But there is a therapeutic benefit to this! The construction of the main statement is always the same:

PROBLEM - RELEASE
Think carefully about the main statement so that the wording matches your problem, for example:
"Despite the fact that I<имею проблему>I totally love and accept myself.”

"Let me have<болезнь>I feel healthy and don't worry about the future."
The task of the "basic statement" is to allow yourself to be fully aware of any problem, no matter how unpleasant it may be. And at the same time, declare confidence in yourself (or in your body) and complete acceptance of yourself.
We need exclude a negative attitude in relation to the disease or to one's psychological characteristics. Please do this right now: repeat the main statement two or three times, and move on!

3. Finding balance. We are starting to influence the energy channels. For successful practice, it is necessary to find a state of peace, balance. It can be characterized by the words "emptiness", "boundless expanse". In this state, external factors do not irritate, they simply do not affect internal sensations. There is no time control, lightness and peace overwhelm the body and become its shell.

Balance is the psychological basis for changing the hormonal background, and therefore for opening energy channels, passing external energy, influencing internal energy, blood, organs and systems. At the same time, the body experiences flowing sensations that do not have an external (material) basis: an increase or decrease in the volume of individual members (or the entire body), heat, coolness, pulsation in the muscles, pleasant dope and others. No need to be surprised, no need to be afraid of sensations! Follow your nature, not allowing external stimuli to disturb the achieved state.
4. Finally, we proceed to the long-awaited stage, we produce. Let's call the tapping points conditionally, for psychotherapeutic tasks, special accuracy is not of decisive importance, we are interested in the physical impact accompanied by the installation. When we are busy with theoretical preparation, the state of equilibrium inevitably eludes us. In the future, we will move from stage to stage smoothly, imperceptibly, without spilling the acquired sensations.

Daily Tapping Practice

To remove negative attitudes

The psychological background can be improved by tapping several points on the front of the torso. Tapping on the face is done with the pads of the middle or index fingers (as you wish) simultaneously on symmetrical points, for several minutes in each area. Look at fig. 3.2, but remember the given points, there are not so many of them.

Point 1 - on the inner edges of the eyebrows. We confidently drum on the bones of the eye sockets, with an effort approximately equal to typing on a typewriter (a little more intensively than on a computer keyboard).

Point 2 - in the corners of the eyes, we tap the bone tissue.

Rice. 3.2, a
Point 3 - under the eyes.

Point 4 - above the upper lip.

Point 5 - in the center of the chin.

Points 6 - 2-3 fingers outward from the subclavian fossa. We tap them with three folded fingers from both sides at the same time.

Point 7 - 4 fingers below the armpit. Tapping is performed sequentially on both sides of the body. The left side of the body is tapped with the open palm (four fingers) of the right hand, the right side is tapped with the left hand.

Point 8 is the area of ​​the fontanel in children, this is one of the most important points in Chinese medicine. They call her bai hui("one hundred crossings"). The point is located at the intersection of the midline of the head and the line connecting the upper point of the ears (Fig. 3.2, b).

Point 9 - already familiar to us karate points on the edges of the palm, which we tap one by one (see above Stages of mood, rice. 3.1).

Rice. 3.2, b
While tapping, we calmly and detachedly pronounce all our problems, without hiding, without any censorship, but at the same time emotionally indifferent.
In order for this last step ( tapping directly) passed effectively, two conditions must be met.

1. During the second stage ( main statement) we must clearly, frankly and dispassionately identify the problem.

2. When finding balance(third stage) it is important to achieve emotional detachment from the problem.

If these conditions are met during tapping, unwanted negative attitudes will sound like a learned lesson, without any emotional coloring. And we will destroy the deep foundations of negativity with our own hands, in the literal sense: with our fingers we will knock out the foundation of a negative attitude from psychological memory. At first, shame, anger, resentment, fear, guilt, helplessness, insecurity, feelings of loneliness, orphanhood and any other overwhelming emotions will lessen their effect on our well-being, and with practice we will completely free ourselves from them.

Wellness flip flops open palm

Tapping is effective as reflexology for general wellness. We will give several practices from which you can choose your favorite. As the masters of oriental massage say, even if I have a whole set of tools, I can use one screwdriver! If you choose one of these magic screwdrivers for yourself, then visits to the therapist will be exclusively preventive.

Hand preparation

Prepare your hands for self-massage. This important step can only be skipped if we are in a hurry! But, by the way, the preparation of hands has an independent healing value and can be performed during the day at any time. If you periodically make simple movements of the palms, which we will now learn, then in the future, preparation for tapping (patting) can only come down to intense rubbing of the hands!

1. We clap our palms in front of us and vigorously rub them together, stimulating the healing energy of the hands. Hands should be hot.

2. Intensely squeeze the palms in a greeting pose, connecting the opposite (yin and yang) energies in order to feel the energy flow (photo 3.1, a). We close our eyes and try to catch how energy flows from one palm to another (from the center to the center, from the fingers of one hand to the fingers of the other hand).

3. We round the palms into a ball, touching with all fingers. Imagine that you are holding a warm red ball inside your palms, and your fingers are transferring hot energy to each other.

4. Then we cross our palms, stretching them in front of us. And for a few seconds we hold the forward and reverse lock (photo 3.1, b and 3.1, c, respectively).

5. And now let's intensively tap the edges of the palms against each other (photo 3.1, d).

6. Then, with four fingers of the left hand, we tap on the pulse point on the right hand (photo 3.1, e), calling the palm to awaken. Change position and wake up your left palm.

7. Raise your hands up and squeeze your palms strongly, until it hurts, and then sharply open your fingers without lowering your hands for 30 seconds.

Medical spanking

Improving slaps are certainly indicated for disorders of the musculoskeletal system from the side of the nervous system. And they are an integral part of the treatment of psychological problems. However, like any intensive massage, patting has a number of contraindications. Take them seriously, if there is at least one of the contraindications, we will not perform the patting. But don't be upset! In our set there are a large number of tools, we will find exactly what suits us.

CONTRAINDICATIONS to massage

Oncological diseases.

Severe disorders of cardiac activity, severe damage to internal organs (kidneys, lungs, liver).

Thrombophlebitis of vessels in a chronic form or vascular aneurysm, peptic ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract, other diseases that create a risk of bleeding.

Do not use massage in women during menstrual flow. The tendency to uterine bleeding requires increased caution on other days.

Acute conditions, infectious diseases, fever. Pustular skin diseases (furunculosis), dermatitis, skin burns (including sunburn).

1. We open our palms and fearlessly slap ourselves with slaps on the head - from the forehead to the back of the head, neck and back to the forehead. We spank incessantly and alternately with the left and right hands. In total, you need to inflict at least 200 hits. If there are no contraindications, do not be afraid! The pat can be loud enough that your family can hear the sound of the slap clearly. Do not skip the area of ​​the temples and auricle.

2. Then, with a direct blow of the right hand, we slap ourselves on the back of the neck (you can’t put flip flops on the front of the neck!). Long enough, up to 5 minutes. In this case, the hand should be completely relaxed, the wrist should be free. The hand thrashes the neck from the wrist like a whip.

3. A little more gently with two open palms at the same time slap on the face for 1-2 minutes.

4. We slap the left shoulder girdle with an open right palm for 3-4 minutes. Then we slap the right shoulder girdle with the left palm. (The shoulder girdle is the place where the military wears shoulder straps. In everyday life, it is most often called the shoulder, but in medicine, the shoulder is the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe arm from the elbow to the shoulder joint).

5. Stretch the right hand straight in front of us and slap ourselves with the left hand on the inside of the forearm (the area from the wrist to the elbow), in the middle. Then we change hands, the left and right forearms should receive 3-4 minutes of massage each.

6. Spank the back surface of the palms. The rear of the palms is their outer surface, where nails grow on the fingers. For convenience, you can put your foot on a chair, put a massaged palm on your knee and, for your pleasure, hit it with the other palm for 3-4 minutes. Then change palms.

7. Tilt the torso forward and slap the knees with two palms at the same time. If you find it difficult to stand for 3-4 minutes in an inclined position, you can do the exercise while sitting.

8. Then we spank below the knee cavity on the back of the legs, simultaneously with both hands. Clap for a few minutes at your pleasure, this technique can also be done while sitting.

9. In conclusion, we perform tapping on the back of the foot. If you did the previous tricks while standing, make sure that you don’t feel dizzy and don’t overstrain your muscles! Tapping the feet can be done while sitting, stretching out your legs, leaning forward with your whole body. If, at the same time, at the end of the patting, you can gradually pull your toes forward, as if running away from your palms, then the spine will also receive a good stretch.

10. After that, stand up and do a few squats to harmonize the energy flows. Three or four squats will be enough!

Psychological support of self-massage

During this exercise at the initial stage, no psychological attitudes can be made! The exercise does not require any forced thoughts, and they even get in the way. Spanking will completely capture your consciousness, give pleasure. If you endure two weeks of patting, you can then practice this massage for the rest of your life. Pretty soon after starting the practice, you will feel that you have become healthier, this is a signal to continue!

QUESTION ANSWER

Why do we skip other points for patting, for example, the lower back?

Because we don’t want to subordinate our whole day to recovery! For this massage, the optimal points were chosen, equidistant from the median energy boiler.

Can you take a break from clapping?

Can! There are no hard and fast rules.

Daily tapping of stagnant zones of the body

To recede chronic diseases and return the joy of life, accustom yourself to a brief daily tapping.

Opening energy channels on the fingers

Before influencing the stagnant zones of the body, let's excite the energy of the palms, open the energy channels on the fingers. In the corners of the nails there are biologically active points that belong to the energy channels of our body. For the practice to be effective, the points must be open to receiving energy. Exercise has independent value, it can be performed in the morning and also in the evening before going to bed. To open channels, perform the following sequence of actions.

1. Close your eyes and try to focus on your actions. Bend your arms in front of your chest (palms facing down).

2. Bend the index and middle fingers on the right hand. Run bent fingers along the side of the fingers of the left hand (the fingers of the left hand are straight!). Along each finger - 2 times (photo 3.2).

3. Do the same for the straightened fingers of the right hand.

Photo 3.2

Tapping areas of congestion

1. We start tapping ourselves or mutual massage from the head. Tapping the head consists in ruffling pinches of the scalp. Round your palm as if you are holding an apple or an orange, run it into your hair and pinch, “bite” your head with your fingers, whipping your hair. Negative energy accumulates in the hair, vigorous whipping of the hairstyle eliminates the negative.

2. Then we massage our hands. We stretch the massaged hand forward, vigorously spank it along the entire length with the other, massaging hand - from the palm to the shoulder joint. The massaged hand is gradually and slowly rotated in the shoulder joint so that the slaps are evenly distributed on the inner and outer surface of the hand. We spank until red. Then we change hands, continue the massage.

Rice. 3.3, a
3. The next zone is the lateral surface of the ribs below the armpit (Fig. 3.3, a). For women, this area is especially important, since the lymph nodes associated with the mammary gland are located on the lateral surface of the chest. Massage of this zone prevents the formation of benign breast tumors. Vigorously tap the right side surface with your left hand. Then we take the armpit with our hand, press it and gently tap it. Massage is performed on each side surface for 2 minutes.
In European massage, it is not customary to act on the popliteal cavities, bends of the elbow joints, axillary cavities due to the accumulation of lymph nodes.

Chinese practice accepts such restrictions only in part: the zones of the lymph nodes do not warm up with. But the ban does not apply to massage, so we boldly perform armpit tapping!

4. Then we perform an important exercise for the chest (for women, this exercise is of particular importance, because, like the previous procedure, it improves the condition of the mammary gland). We spread our arms to the sides on the horizontal of the shoulders and make simultaneous wide swings back with both hands, as if expanding the chest. At the same time, we rotate the arms in the shoulder joints in a horizontal direction (the rotation impulse is noticeable only in the palm, its outer and inner sides flash).

Palms up - once, we take our hands back, return them forward. Palms down - two, we take our hands back, return them forward. We do about 50 leads back.

5. Then with both hands we knead the area of ​​the 7th cervical vertebra, which belongs to the primary stagnation (Fig. 3.3, b). When a "withers" is formed in this area, the energy of the middle meridian is almost constantly in critical stagnation, it must be pushed through. Vigorously wrinkle the withers with both hands at the same time, then tap the shoulder girdle (the place where shoulder straps are worn).

Hypothermia and stress. Rapid Immune Support

Let's try three more independent exercises. Performed sequentially, they act as a general signal of correction during hypothermia, during a stay in a stressful situation, with any combination of factors that reduce immunity.

Teeth chattering to improve kidney energy

According to Eastern ideas, the kidneys control not only the excretory function and cleansing of the body, but also the entire reproductive sphere. That is why it is believed that the energy of the kidneys is transmitted to us from our parents. We can lose or increase tribal energy, depending on how we treat our own body.

In the cold season, the energy meridian of the kidneys is especially vulnerable. Much attention is paid to the "launch" of the meridian due to external influences: reflexology and body movement. Gymnastics and reflexology in the East are inseparable, they are just different ways of influencing the energy system. Such a direction as Taoist gymnastics, for example, considers the kidneys to be the main object of influence. Taoist movements are characterized by the unique plasticity of the waist, the energy region of the kidneys.
One of the methods of European tapping of the energy area of ​​the kidneys will surprise you! No connection with the waist, we work exclusively with the teeth!

Hands to the sides, we rise on our toes and begin to chatter our teeth. Quickly close and open the jaws by tapping for 30 seconds. Then we drop sharply to a full foot and at the same time throw our hands down, as if relieving tension. Repeat this half-minute tapping session 3-4 times.

We kick with a heel. Improvement of vascular tone

If your lower blood pressure is low (it is also called diastolic pressure), tapping your heel will help increase the tone of blood vessels and the heart muscle. There are no excuses that there is a spur on the heel, gout on the "bone", it hurts to raise the leg in the knee joint - I usually do not accept from my patients! Because for metabolic diseases (such as gout), tapping is an indication, not a warning!

A CONTRAINDICATION to the exercise is only thrombophlebitis of the veins of the lower extremities.
Standing, stretch the left leg forward and tap the heel on the floor for 1 minute. Then we change the position and knock with the right heel for 1 minute. With each foot we must knock 3 times for a minute.

In case of influenza

In influenza conditions and for prevention during an epidemic of viral and infectious diseases, we successively tap the following points.

1. The area under the spinous process of the 1st thoracic vertebra (Fig. 3.4, point 1). It is traditionally used to relieve fevers, chills, headaches, heaviness in the head, drowsiness, to reduce tension and relieve back pain.

Rice. 3.4
2. Areas two fingers to the right and to the left of the point under the spinous process of the 3rd thoracic vertebra (Fig. 3.4, point 2). The symmetrical areas are called in Chinese medicine the dorsal point of the lungs. They are used for diseases of the respiratory tract, for chills, fever, nasal congestion for pain in the occipital muscles, neck and back.

It is quite difficult to influence the points with self-massage, but mutual massage will give a quick effect! Ask your family members for several minutes to strike with four fingers gathered together, first at the first point, and then at the same time with both hands to knock on the lower symmetrical points.

Mechanical and mental tapping

Stress is comparable to a "forest animal" that constantly lies in wait for us on the path of life. It keeps the body's regulatory system in suspense. Let's think together about the stress factor, about what worries you at this moment (or in general in life) - so that we can work with this factor right now using the Chinese energy meridians. We close our eyes, take a deep breath and, without relaxing our consciousness, we catch the “first available” unpleasant thought, association. “View” the association like a film, scroll through the unpleasant story of its occurrence in your mind. And now the most important thing!

Feel what kind of discomfort this unpleasant association brings to the body: sucks in the spoon, twists in the stomach, the heart contracts, saliva is produced. Concentrate on the bodily reaction, this is very important!
Observe how unpleasant the bodily sensation is, how easy or difficult it is to overcome. And now attention!
No matter how difficult and unpleasant it is, mentally increase the bodily reaction, try to physically feel it even more strongly. Concentrate on nausea, rumbling in the stomach, spasm, salivation.

Primary tapping

We start tapping. Points for tapping are shown in fig. 3.5.

Rice. 3.5
1. Put your index and middle fingers together and tap on the center of your forehead, saying:
"I free myself from the unpleasant feeling."
2. Tap your fingers on the right or left temple, saying the same formula:
"Releasing myself from this feeling."
3. Next, knock under the right or left eye:
"I release myself from any energetic trauma."
4. Then we knock under the right or left collarbone:
"I free myself from helplessness, despair, illness."
5. Grab your left wrist with your right hand. Inhale deeply and exhale as you say the word:
"Peace!"
Imagine the moment of greatest peace: a warm bath, a beach, a park bench, a serene rural landscape. Remain in a blissful feeling for a few minutes.

Return to painful sensation

Now we have to return to the original painful sensation. We include in the work an unpleasant thought that caused a response in the body. Remember? When it sucked in the stomach, rumbled in the stomach, squeezed in the heart or in the head ... If you managed to return to this feeling, then for sure it will be less bright than last time. Note how much of the unpleasant feeling remains - half, a third, two thirds? Let's say two-thirds, and remember it!

And now let's repeat the tapping.

1. In the center of the forehead, saying:

"I release myself from this feeling."
2. On the right or left temple, pronouncing the same formula.

3. Under the right or left eye.

4. Under the right or left collarbone.

5. Grab your left wrist with your right hand. Inhale deeply and exhale as you say the word:

"Peace!"
Consciously pronouncing "peace", recreating a picture of peace.

Repeated return to painful sensation

Once again, let's try to return to the original unpleasant feeling. Remember, only two-thirds of it was left last time? Believe me, in two or three taps we will completely get away from the unwanted reaction of the body, because it will be more and more difficult to reconstruct the initial negative thought. We forgot about her. But we need a painful reaction of the body to work!

Try to find another negative message, the next unpleasant situation, from which the body will experience stress. Rummage through your memories: a difficult conversation with your superiors, being late for a bus or train, a quarrel with a neighbor on the landing ... There will certainly be something that can cause an unpleasant reaction in the body. Focus on this reaction!

mental tapping

Now we will repeat the tapping MENTALLY. All the same points, but "inside yourself." Imagine how you tap your forehead, temple, under the eye, under the collarbone. Repeat the same words in your mind:

"I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free."
Mentally clasp your left wrist with your right hand, inhale and exhale while doing it with full breasts, and not “pretending”! And tell yourself briefly:
"Peace!"
As always, we return to the starting point of this (mental) tapping. Notice how vague the negative situation is, how weakened the reactions of the body are. Due to what we have achieved a calming effect? Due to the fact that our mind, which informed us in time about the unpleasant reactions of the body, we aimed at correcting. The brain could not cope with the regulation, asked us for help (with pain), and we provided him with timely assistance. First, "with my own hands", with my fingers, and then due to mental reactions.

Comic health formula

Could the brain itself think of mental reactions? Certainly! But smile and remember: our strength is in the unity of man with his body and with his head. This Joke Health Formula Gives Geek Results!

From now on, one has only to feel pain, we immediately perform a simple mechanical tapping or mental tapping, without waiting for the expansion of the stagnation zone. The weakest, barely perceptible pain is a serious reason for tapping.

If you have an unpleasant thought attached to you or you have undergone an emotional load, "turn" it into an unpleasant body reaction (do not skip this stage of work!) And tap.

The reaction of the body associated with the emotional load must be indicated! Because the brain does not ask us for help before the body experiences pain. Pain is a signal to the brain that it can’t cope with the regulation, is waiting for help and is ready to interact. Unpleasant body sensations (pain, nausea, discomfort) attract our attention to the brain. At that moment, unity must arise: the body, the regulating functions of the brain and our human will.
From now on, our head begins to serve for our benefit! Due to what did we master the situation, how did we help our brain?

Remember the points of tapping: forehead, temples, area under the eyes, collarbones. These are points of the energy meridians of the bladder, gallbladder, stomach, and kidneys, respectively. Ideally, if with our hands we get the hang of tapping simultaneously symmetrical points on the left and right. With mental tapping, of course, it does not matter which half of the body we imagined.

Grasping the wrist, we activate the energy of the lungs, large intestine, blood circulation and small intestine.

We turn to the energy within ourselves, give a conscious push to possible stagnant zones when the brain is in a state of stress. Correction signals are sent in all possible directions, and one or more of them end up in the right place at the right time. This is how the human energy system works.

Can the human energy system receive correction signals without our help? Not! Stagnation of energy requires intervention necessarily!
Most often, we do not know that we are working with the energy meridian when walking, when rubbing our hands, with unconscious self-massage of the forehead and scalp. Have you wrapped your arms around the cup to warm yourself? Perfectly! The first points (sources) of several meridians at once received powerful thermal impulses. There is no doubt about the positive result!

Have you decided to walk barefoot on the pebbles? This is an invaluable boost for the starting points of the foot meridians!

Tapping energy meridians

Now we will make targeted tapping of stagnation areas, which is recommended to be done at least once a week. We don't know much about energy channels yet. Chapter 4 greatly enrich our knowledge. Looking ahead, let's say that each channel has from 10 to 60 surface points, each of which has a number and a name. We begin a session of tapping the special points of the channels responsible for our digestion and mental state.

Remember who we are talking about "a bilious person." And in the Eastern view, stagnation in the channels of the gallbladder and liver causes an extreme degree of irritation, rage. Let's rid ourselves of both irritation and the formation of sand in the gallbladder!

gallbladder channel

Tapping the channel points with your fist should be strong enough. But it is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. The points are easy to define and easy to influence. First we define the points (30) huan tiao , (31) feng shi , (32) Zhong-du and (33) Xi-yang-guan(See Figure 3.6). To massage the gallbladder channel, place your right foot on any hill (for example, put it on a chair), clench your hand into a fist and with the inside (as in photo 3.3) tap four points with strong energetic blows.

Photo 3.3
One approach is a series of four hits (one for each point). Ideally, we need to do 20 to 50 passes on each thigh. After working with the right leg, change the position of the legs and tap the four points of the gallbladder channel on the left leg.

Rice. 3.6
To do tapping simultaneously on symmetrical channels, you need to sit on a chair. This will make the job go much faster!

Rapid Tapping of the Liver Meridian

To effectively massage the liver canal, it is enough to carry out vigorous patting and tapping on the inside of both legs. Starting from the thumbs. The direction of movement is from bottom to top.

Place your right foot on any hill, or you can massage in a sitting position with your legs stretched out.

Photo 3.4, a

Photo 3.4, b

Rice. 3.7
Let's start the massage with light clapping with the palm of your hand (photo 3.4, a). We move from the foot along the following zones (see Fig. 3.7).

Big toe (approximately point 1 of the liver meridian).

Dorsal surface of the foot (approximately point 3 of the liver meridian).

The middle of the lower leg (point 6 of the liver meridian).

Lateral surface of the knee (point 7 of the liver meridian).

Inner surface of the thigh (above point 9 of the liver meridian).

Thigh at the level of the perineum (at the level of point 10 of the liver meridian).

Thus, we should get 6 pats per pass. There should be 20 such approaches. Then perform tapping with your fist, applying more effort, that is, making the effort heavier (photo 3.4, b). There should also be 20 such approaches. Let's change the position of the legs and perform tapping of the liver channel on the left leg. Ideally, after some time we should perform massage tapping for 10-15 minutes on each leg.

Today I'm starting a series of articles about one phenomenally simple technique that will literally help you heal any area of ​​your life.

Isn't that a bold statement? No :-), just right. I checked.

This is a tapping technique. And today I will tell about it, how and when it can be applied. In the following articles, we will consider the features of its use for the healing of specific specific aspects of life.

This technique is truly a healing tool that is used to clear any kind of emotional tension in our mind and body. It combines modern psychology and the principles of acupuncture, an ancient Chinese healing system, to help release stress and emotional conflict of any kind.

What we do is tap certain acupuncture points along the body's meridians with our fingertips and work on our own problem, specific stress or emotional tension.

The goal is to restore the normal functioning of the energy system by stimulating certain energy points.

The tapping technique works with any kind of emotional stress - anxiety, fears, guilt, all kinds of addictions, limiting beliefs that prevent people from creating a successful, prosperous life, as well as physical pain and illness. Any problem that has an emotional basis can be healed with this method.

The fact is that emotions affect every area of ​​our lives. In the process of tapping, we stimulate and excite our nervous system, and bring to the surface hidden deep feelings, subconscious beliefs and programs and release them. It turns out that, using the tapping technique, we solve the problem at its very root.

How does this technique work?

Any problem in human life begins at the energy level. When we heal, clear the energy system with the tapping technique, we are removing the problem at its root.

In addition, the tapping technique breaks the neural connections in the brain that caused a particular painful reaction or type of behavior when a person was faced with a traumatic past experience. As a result of this, a person ceases to react painfully to what used to hurt him.

The tapping method has its origins in the 80s, and the very first version of it was called "thought field therapy" or the technique of the American psychologist Dr. Roger Callaghan (TFT). And in the 90s, the American Gary Craig improved the method of Dr. Calagan and created the Emotional Release Technique (EFT), which guarantees the release of negative emotions that have sometimes accumulated over many years, and contributes to the improvement of the personality and the achievement of desired goals.

This is a very simple technique that has no negative side effects and can be used by anyone anywhere. That is why today this technique is so popular in the world, it is improved and adapted to heal completely different areas of life, including relationships, finances, physical health, personal development.

Description of tapping technique.

The technique has two main features:

1. is the focus on the problem.


2. tapping certain acupuncture points on the body.

Tapping is most conveniently carried out with two fingers of any hand - as you like. You can even tap with both hands at the same time.

You should tap the dots in a circle, at the same time pronouncing aloud certain phrases and sentences. You can see the points that should be tapped in the image.

Tapping begins from a point at the beginning of the eyebrow, then the corner of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, in the center of the chin, a point on the collarbone (2-3 cm from the center to the right or left - it doesn’t matter), a point under the arm (4 fingers from the armpit down) and we finish the circle with a point on the top of the head, where the crown is in children.

The tapping process also includes a point located on the edge of the palm (the so-called karate point). How many times you hit the dot - it doesn't matter, do it a few times. Tapping itself is similar to how we vigorously type on the keyboard or lightly drum on the table.

Tapping scheme, mandatory steps

1. The very first, very important step is to clearly define the problem. The more clearly and specifically you define the problem, the better. The second step is to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 the intensity of the unpleasant emotion when you think about the problem. It is important for us to know where we are, where we start.

2. The second stage is called the "main statement". At this stage, while tapping on the karate point on the edge of the palm, you say the problem out loud several times in this format:

“Despite the fact that I have this problem (I am afraid of a job interview, I am offended by my mother, I blame myself for overeating, I am afraid of spiders, I am sure that money is evil ... and so on), I deeply and completely love and accept myself ".

Perhaps this phrase will seem strange and inappropriate to you, perhaps you do not agree with this statement ... But it is important for you to say this even if it is not true. This statement does not mean that the problem does not exist. This means that the problem exists, but you still love and accept yourself.

Accept and love not the problem, but yourself, as you really are, with all your features. Even if you feel that it is not true yet, saying the phrase “despite the fact that I have this problem, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, everything, with all my features” works wonders.

This is an incredibly important step. People tend not to allow themselves to experience negative emotions, they suppress them inside and do not admit them to themselves. And if they confess, then after this they begin self-flagellation, self-accusation, they do not love themselves and do not accept.

With this statement, you share the negative emotion and self-love. Cutlets in one direction, flies in the other. You allow yourself to feel whatever you feel, even if it's negative heavy feelings. And yet you accept the fact that everything is fine with you, you deserve love and acceptance in any case.

3. The third stage. Now you start tapping in a circle and at the same time say phrases that remind you of the problem itself, of the negative situation that describes it. At this stage, it is very important to call a spade a spade, turn off any censorship, and simply, clearly and out loud speak about how you feel. And it is very good if negative feelings intensify.

We do this specifically in order to free ourselves, to let go of the negative. After all, if you have this feeling, this emotion, then because you don’t say it out loud, it doesn’t disappear anywhere, it remains a block in the body. Therefore, at this stage, it is important for you to simply acknowledge out loud what you feel: “Yes, I am angry, yes, I am afraid, I am scared, yes, I am offended.”

There are people who are afraid to say out loud what they feel. There are two such aspects to this: the first is that these people are simply deceiving themselves. They do not want to admit to themselves that they feel all these negative feelings. Because they subconsciously believe that only a “bad” person, unworthy of love, can feel negative feelings. And they are, as it were, "good." They think that if they don't talk about a feeling or emotion out loud, then it doesn't exist. This is self-deception.

The second aspect is that we are all very well-read and we know that we need to think positively, that words and thoughts have power. And we are afraid to attract even more negativity into our lives, allegedly because we will pronounce these feelings out loud.

But the truth is that in this case, the very pronunciation of feelings does not produce even more negativity. This negativity already exists inside a person, even if a person is stubbornly silent and does not admit it to himself. These feelings, emotions, limiting beliefs already exist in a person and subconsciously control his life, health, and behavior. And, unfortunately, they also affect the people around them. And now it is very important for us to pull all this out of ourselves, pull it out of the subconscious, because we can heal and free ourselves only from what we see and recognize.

Many people who say only positive things, in fact, often simply deny and do not recognize their other side, pretend that it does not exist. Of course, from non-recognition, it does not disappear anywhere. Instead of shutting yourself off from the negativity in yourself, I offer to recognize it and get rid of it. The fact is that it is normal to experience a wide range of feelings - from positive to negative.

It is normal and natural to be angry, angry, offended, annoyed, ashamed, afraid. Any negative emotion is born in a person in order for him to change the situation. To change the situation, negative emotion, first of all, must be noticed, heard. Feelings and emotions become destructive only when they are not expressed. When we see them, recognize them, we can free ourselves from them and be healed.

Let's move on to a specific example.

For the first simple test, I suggest you tapping the emotions and feelings associated with the stress that many people experience at work - in communication with management, customers, suppliers, employees.

Determine as specifically as possible what worries you, scares you, saddens you, annoys you at work. And then rate the strength of your feelings and emotions on a 10-point scale. 0 means that this is not a problem for you at all, a score of 10 means that you are beside yourself with feelings and emotions overwhelmed by you. If the score is below 6, I suggest choosing a different situation so that there is something to work with effectively.

Now start tapping on the karate point on the edge of your palm and repeat the phrase: “Despite the fact that I experience a lot of stress at work, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I experience a lot of stress at work, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I experience a lot of stress at work, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

Now continue tapping in circles, starting at the dot at the beginning of the eyebrow, and just talk about how you feel, moving to the next dot with each new phrase.

This stress at work bothers me

This stress at work really bothers me

This stress at work has been bothering me for a long time.

I get so tired at work

So much tension

It squeezes all the juice out of me

I feel exhausted

The stress at work binds me and worries me

… Continue in your own words… Do a few rounds, tap a few circles…

Now take a deep breath and again remember the situation at work and evaluate it on a scale of 1 to 10. Sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down. It doesn't matter, the technique works anyway. The main thing is that you stirred up your feelings and emotions now.

If in the process of tapping your emotions intensify, it means that up to this point you have suppressed them in yourself, did not recognize them, closed yourself off from them. So keep tapping and you will see these emotions begin to fade as you amplify. I suggest that you continue this tapping until you feel that the intensity of emotions has dropped to 0 points.

In the following articles, I will tell you how to use the tapping technique in specific life situations. I will post an audio recording so that you can tap some problematic situation from your life with me. So stay tuned :-).

Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT

Gary Craig is an American specialist who created the method of energy psychology (Emotional Freedom Techniques) in the mid-1990s.

The method affects the Mind - Body energy system, allows you to reduce or completely get rid of various problems of an emotional, psychological and physical nature.

The method is a unique form of "emotional acupuncture without needles", which combines an emotional attitude to get rid of the problem and a slight physical impact of your fingers on the energy meridian points known from Chinese medicine.

Gary Krag used the techniques of Dr. Roger Callahan. Many of his cutting-edge concepts, along with ideas from applied kinesiology, became the foundation of EFT.

EFT is one of the most effective means of balancing the human energy system. The restored balance allows the Brain and Body to use their natural abilities to heal. This is a new way of healing that doesn't need to be used for a long time to get results. With the help of the method, some problems can disappear within minutes - and forever!

Examine carefully your face, where the deepest wrinkles are concentrated. Match them with the picture, which shows 8 points of the beginning and end of the meridians. This is a kind of diagnosis of the state of internal organs.

According to the Wu-Sing system, there are five elements in nature that give birth to ten things: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Moreover, wood gives birth to fire, fire warms the earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives rise to water, water nourishes the tree. This is a stimulating circle. There is also an inverse relationship: wood depletes the earth, earth absorbs water, water extinguishes fire, fire melts metal, metal cuts wood. This is an overwhelming circle.

Moreover, the stimulating connection is external and is carried out in a circle, and the overwhelming one is internal and is carried out inside the circle according to the cycle of the star.

Any predominance, whether it be a stimulating or inhibitory connection, leads to an imbalance: if water stimulates the tree excessively, then it begins to dominate, due to the increase in the overwhelming connection between the tree and the earth, the latter weakens, insufficiently stimulates the metal, which in turn weakens the inhibitory connection. between him and the tree.

According to the ancient canons, the vital energy of a person is formed from the interaction of two types of energy: cosmic and terrestrial. Cosmic man takes directly, and the earth is formed due to the processing of food by the body.

Energy in the human body circulates through certain channels - meridians.

There are only 12 channels and they are arranged in pairs mirrored on the right and left sides of the body. Each channel controls its own organ and interacts with the external environment through biologically active points (BAP) located on the meridian.

So, there are 12 main energy channels:

1 - lung channel

2 - canal of the large intestine

3 - channel of the stomach

4 - channel of the spleen and pancreas

5 - channel of the heart

6 - canal of the small intestine

7 - channel of the bladder

8 - kidney channel

9 - pericardial canal

10 - triple heater channel

11 - channel of the gallbladder

12 - channel of the liver

Energy sequentially passes throughout the body along 12 main meridians and 10 of them supply energy to 10 main organs, 2 meridians are functional (X is the meridian of the III parts of the body or triple heater and IX is the meridian of the pericardium).

According to the 5 elements: the gallbladder meridian stimulates the small intestine meridian, which in turn stimulates the stomach meridian, then the colon meridian, it is the bladder meridian, and the bladder meridian stimulates the gallbladder meridian.

This is a stimulating circle.

This circulation of energy makes up a large circle of circulation, and each meridian corresponds to one of the 5 elements. In addition, each meridian is included in the YIN and YANG group.

Here is a table of correspondence of the symbols of these five elements:

The disease can be expressed either by an excess or a lack of energy in one or more organs.

And the wrinkles that form in certain areas indicate problems associated with energy in this meridian and in the corresponding organ.

Tapping on the skin at the biologically active points of the meridians of various organs activates the meridian and thus delivers energy to the organ for its best work. This has a positive effect on the relevant organs and on the skin - wrinkles are smoothed out at these points.
