RAGE ALGORITHM
1. Tune the Thought Field -- that is, intentionally think about the rage that produce such emotional distress in your life.
2. Rate the intensity of your rage at this moment, using the Subjective Units of Distress (SUD) scale. On this scale, 10 is the worst you could possibly feel, and 1 indicates absolutely no trace of rage. Write down the SUD rating before you continue to the next step.
3. Using two fingers of one hand, tap a spot on the outside edge of the eye. Tap five times, firmly and gently, but not nearly hard enough to bruise.
4. Tap the "collarbone point." To locate it, take two fingers of either hand and run them down the center of the throat to the top of the center collarbone notch. This is approximately even with the spot where a man would knot his tie. From there, move straight down an additional inch. Then move to the right one inch. Tap this point five times.
5. Take a second SUD rating and write it down. If the SUD has decreased 2 or more points (which will be the case for most people), then continue with step 6 below. If there was no change, however, or if the change in the SUD was only 1 point, perform the correction for a psychological reversal, using the technique described in this post (CLICK HERE). Then repeat steps 1 through 5.
6. Perform the nine-gamut treatments. Locate the gamut spot on the back of the hand, about an inch below the raised knuckles of the ring finger and little finger when making a fist. Begin tapping the gamut spot with two fingers of the opposite hand, about three to five times per second, and continue tapping while performing all nine steps below ( tap five or six times for each of the nine-gamut positions). It is very important to tap the gamut spot throughout all nine of these gamut treatments:
G1~ Open the eyes.
G2~ Close the eyes.
G3~ Open the eyes and point eyeball down and to the left.
G4~ Point the eyeballs down and to the right.
G5~ Whirl the eyeballs around in a circle in one direction (clockwise).
G6~ Whirl the eyeballs around in the opposite direction (counter clockwise).
G7~ Hum a few bars of any tune aloud (more than a single note;
rest the eyes).
G8~ Count aloud from one to five.
G9~ Hum the tune again.
7. Tap the outside edge of the eye five times again.
8. Tap the collarbone point five times again.
9. Take still another SUD rating and write it down. If it has declined to 1 (which will happen with most people), move to step 10 below. But if it has decreased significantly yet is still not a 1, perform the MINI PR correction as described below, and then repeat the treatment steps above.
10. To ensure that the improvements you've made are complete, perform the floor-to-ceiling eye roll (when the SUD is 2 or lower): Hold the head level and move your eyes down. Then begin tapping the gamut point as you move your eyes upward.
MINI PR
A related procedure, called a mini psychological reversal correction, can be used when you decrease your SUD to a 3 or 4 but can't seem to get it any lower. In other words, you've achieved substantial improvement, but you can't get to the finish line. A block exists that is keeping you from reducing the SUD any further
In the algorithm for your particular emotional problem, you'll be instructed on whether and when to use this technique. here is the procedure to follow:
~ Find the PR spot mentioned above, located on the outside edge of the hand, between the wrist and the base of the little finger.
~ Tap about fifteen (15) times with two fingers of the opposite hand.
As long as a psychological reversal persists, TFT ( or any other treatment) won't be able to get the SUD to a 1. The PR or mini PR correction will open the door that allows TFT to eradicate your problem.
