Find the
bony ridges of the eyebrows. Right above them are slight depressions or
indentations in the skull.
Moving up
from the center of each eye, usually about midway between the eyebrows
and hairline, or about one-and-a-half or two inches above the eyebrows,
are two slightly rounded bulges.
Technically, these are called the frontal eminences. These are the
holding points for releasing the "stumbling blocks" which are the old
negative emotions and fairytale beliefs that are causing you to feel
bad, stuck or blocked.
2.
With the pads of your fingers on each hand, gently stretch the skin
upwards with a light touch while looking slightly above eye level. You
may close your eyes instead, if you prefer.
Placing
the thumb and fingers of the same hand across the forehead is another
way to hold these points. You may also support your arm(s) while holding
these points.
When using the fingers of both hands, some people occasionally feel a
very slight pulse.
The
pulse, when felt, tends to beat out of sync from one side of the
forehead to the other when concentrating on a stressful or upsetting
situation.
When
the negative emotions become balanced, flat or they disappear, the two
pulses beat together.
3.
Put your attention on reliving the stressful event. It may either be
something upsetting from the past, something unpleasant going on right
now, or something in the future that is causing anxiety, fear or worry.
Mentally
notice and identify all the negative feelings associated with this event
such as anger, sadness, pain, fear or guilt, or anything else related.
Become aware of colors or shades, movement, and sounds, if any.
While
reliving the unpleasant situation, decide what messages, or lessons you
got from this experience, making them available to you for protection
and enlightenment from now on.
If nothing
comes to mind, you may trust that your inner mind will do this for you.
4.
Continue keeping your mind on the unpleasant situation until you become
bored with it, or you realize you have a better perspective on it.
5.
At this point, you may notice yourself taking a deep involuntary breath
followed with a sigh. Other signals of release may be a yawn, eyes
tearing, a muscle twitching, feeling or sensing an internal shift, or
any other automatic and spontaneous bodily reflex.
This
usually indicates that the negative emotions from the event have either
been released, balanced or neutralized at a deep inner level.
Another
clue to being done is to go back over the same event with the old
negative emotions and fairytale beliefs and notice how your feelings
have changed.
Sometimes
the changes are subtle and sometimes they are very dramatic. Whatever
they are for you, you have taken control of your life.
6.
If, when you review the event, you feel that there are still some parts
of it left that need resolving, re-do the same exercise as many times as
needed until you finally get complete relief.
