Tapping with your own fingers on acupuncture meridian points to relieve stressed emotions is a modern discovery in acu-pressure by psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan (www.RogerCallahan.com). The idea is to gently move stressed thought and emotional patterns out of the nervous system. It’s like taking a plunger to a stuck sink or toilet. Once you restore the flow, all the gunk drains away. It’s not amnesia. You still know what happened, but the memories just don’t destroy you anymore. At first it sounds unbelievable. But orphanages in Rwanda are teaching this skill to kids who lost their families in the tribal genocide. It can make a difference even with a situation like that:
This spring at The Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Expo, I taught a set of tapping points that reduces anxiety, phobias, bad moods, post-traumatic emotions and other accumulated stress levels. This method actually gets those conditions out of your brain; in contrast to other treatments that just talk about what’s wrong or that sedate the nervous system with medications the same way a dentist numbs a toothache (which is OK until the novocain wears off).

This sequence can help 80% or more of the people who use it. (To get a chart that shows all the spots, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20668754/EFT%201%20page%20with%20contact%20info.pdf ) Even higher rates of relief come with personal assessment to determine other point sequences needed for individual situations. Like twirling a combination lock, the order in which you clear the circuits can make a difference. Telephone 978-525-2255. For military veterans suffering from combat stress or PTSD, sessions are on a sliding scale that includes free.

I can teach this to groups. I invite veteran’s organizations and stress/trauma support groups to contact me. Acupuncture (with the needles) is now used at Walter Reed Hospital and even by combat medics in the field. I think it won’t be long before this method of acupuncture without needles is used there, too.
