  Tune into your issue, problem, physical feeling or emotion.  Try to be as specific as you can in defining the problem.  Picture the situation as a short one minute movie: What did you see? What did you hear? What emotion and physical feeling? Remember your thoughts, any smells or tastes.  If a pain, where is it exactly, what does it feel like?    The more clear and specific* you can make your ‘movie’ be about the feeling or situation, the more successful you will be.  Give your movie/event a short title.                                                        

   [*If your situation is a traumatic one it is best initially NOT to be specific.  Define the trauma first using general statements such as: “this painful event.” Tap on the general statement for several rounds before going on to be more specific.]

  BE PERSISTANT - Repeat several times a day until the emotion around the issue and/or any physical pain is neutralized.   Sometimes results are surprisingly quick.  However, often persistence is needed for many days or even weeks.  As you tap, another specific event may come up or some other related feeling.  Tap for these new ‘aspects’ as well.   

  Keep tapping!
