Energy Tapping

This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical or psychological advice.  It is not intended as a substitute for seeking professional medical or psychological advice or services from an appropriate professional health care provider.

Trauma leaves its impact in thoughts and feelings. When it goes untreated, these negative patterns become embedded in the cellular tissue of the body and may produce dysfunctional life patterns, emotional disturbances, and physical illness. Soul Detective goes into the matrix these negative patterns are imprinted upon to delete the negative patterns. Thought Field Therapy (TFT), developed by psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan, and other developments in the cutting edge field of Energy Psychology use simple, non-invasive techniques to bring the matrix of body-mind-spirit back into the balance needed for health.

Fear is at the root of most psychological disorders. Anxiety is its offspring, and trauma is its sequel. Healing from these disorders is often a long, painful journey. Everyone knows that fear locks up the stomach. Thought Field Therapy gives us the key to unlock the stomach by gently tapping a point on the stomach meridian located on the occipital bone right under the eye. TFT treats the same acupoints as acupuncture; however, rather than puncturing the point with a needle, TFT just taps gently on the meridian point associated with a negative emotion a few times. Incredible emotional relief can come from this simple treatment, which helps dissolve the imbalances in energy which created the disturbing emotions in the first place.

Two pre-requisites to successful emotional release with tapping are getting centered and clearing limiting beliefs around an issue.  Then a person taps on his or her own face, torso, and hands on a series of points designed to release blockages in meridians.  A process called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) taps all of the energy points moving straight down the body to release energy blockages.  Because the process is so simple to learn, the EFT website offers a free newsletter and download of a self-help mini-manual explaining the process.  EFT is a simplified version of Thought Field Therapy (TFT), which taps a different sequence for each specific emotion.  For example, the TFT series of points used to release trauma is the beginning of the eyebrows, under the eyes, under the arms, and then under the collarbone.

Centering and Muscle Testing

Centering

Therapy treatments either do not take or do not stick if the client is not energetically present for the treatment. If polarity is lost or reversed on any one of the three vectors of the Human Energy Field (up-down, front-back, left-right), the center of the energy field will be outside of the body of the person, and the client will not be truly present to himself or herself. Clearing these imbalances, bringing the client to center, is an essential prerequisite to successful, lasting treatment.

In my experience of using dowsing rods to measure the perimeters of the human energy field, I have found that when energy is not flowing through the system properly, a person’s energy field is literally off-center, lopsided. Dowsing rods show not only the configuration of the imbalance, but also the size of the cocoon of energy around the body. A pendulum held over any one of the seven major wheels of energy (called “chakras” in Sanskrit) will trace the energy flow to see how that area of the body is processing energy. These diagnostic tools add to the information provided by muscle testing to determine when a client’s energy is centered and ready to proceed with treatment.

Simple self-help exercises are used to correct imbalances each of the three vectors.  Seven Centering Corrections is a video I made demonstrating all of the corrections.

Muscle Testing

To find out exactly what needs to be corrected, one can use a form of kinesiology commonly called “Muscle Testing” to check the flow of energy in each vector.  Muscle testing, demonstrated in my video Muscle Testing Tips, gives us a way to dialog with the subconscious mind and the autonomic nervous system. When gentle pressure is applied to a muscle, true statements will result in the muscle holding firm, locking into place. On false statements the muscle will unlock, so the muscle gives a bit when pressure is applied.  Several factors can interfere with proper muscle testing, and a person needs training to master this delicate art and to avoid the problems that can decrease its accuracy.

Correcting All Three Vectors

Up-Down Vector

  • The Heart Massage with affirmations of self-acceptance and love corrects the up-down vector. With the right hand, circle the heart center going down on the left and up on the right, saying several times, “I deeply and completely accept myself with all my problems and limitations.” Here are two videos demonstrating this assessment and correction: Proper Energy Flow Up-Down, and Non-Polarization and Corrections.

Front-Back Vector

  • Corrections for the Front-Back vector include “Brain Buttons,” the “Over Energy Correction,” and the “Collarbone Breathing Exercise,” interventions from Educational Kinesiology, also known as “Brain Gym,” the work of Paul and Gail Dennison. These corrections are demonstrated in the video Proper Energy Flow Front-Back.

Left-Right Vector

  • Assessment and corrections for the left-right vector include the “Cross Crawl Exercise” and the “Scarecrow Cross Crawl,” a special intervention from Steven Rochlitz.  Proper Energy Flow Left-Right and Heart-Brain Integration demonstrate these corrections.

Energetic Cords

(This topic is covered in Soul Detective Level Two Training)

Some energetic cords are beneficial.  When we ask for help from the spiritual realm in the form of angels, spirit guides, ascended masters, and other Beings of Light, we are establishing beneficial energetic cords through which information can flow to guide our lives and help us with specific missions.  Mothers frequently have energetic cords to their babies through which they communicate so they can understand the baby’s needs.  Healthy mothers have cords to the hearts of their children through which love flows, all of their lives.   These cords are all beneficial.  But sometimes energetic cords between people are detrimental.

TYPES OF DETRIMENTAL ENERGETIC CORDS

Cords of Control

For example, if a parent still has an energetic cord of wanting to control the behavior of a child when that child has reached adulthood, this refusal to “cut the apron strings” will damage the child’s ability to learn to fend on one’s own.  Bosses may try to control the behavior of their employees through yelling, episodes of irrational outbursts, and unrealistic demands which set up a fear pattern in their workers which then leaves them vulnerable to their power center getting corded to the boss.  Unscrupulous gurus may use cords of control to get their devotees to give them money.

Sexual Cords

Sexual union creates energetic cords between people.  In a healthy, committed marriage, these cords help strengthen the marriage and family ties.  When a couple goes through a divorce, dissolving the legal aspect of the marriage does not release the energetic cords between the two people.  Sometimes former spouses are so hurt by the separation and settlement of property and custodial rights for the children that they hate each other and use the energetic connection between them to channel anger and rage to the ex-spouse.

Casual sexual encounters also create energetic cords between the two parties.  Cultures disagree on how long these energetic connections last.  The longest time I have heard is that they endure throughout the entire lifetime.  The shortest time I have heard is that they last one month.  In Russia, the traditional belief is that they last for seven years.

When a relationship ends and one person cannot stop thinking about the former partner, the two people are probably still corded with one or both unable to let go of the energetic connection.

Energy Straws

People who are feeling depleted may unconsciously send an energetic cord into the power center of another person to suck out energy, even if the other person is just a friend and not a sexual partner.  This kind of cord usually dissolves once one is no longer in the physical presence of that person.  We talk about feeling drained after having spent time with a very needy person.  One partner in a dysfunctional relationship may draw on the vitality of the other one on an ongoing basis rather than building independent sources of energy.

 

RELEASING ENERGETIC CORDS

The Soul Detective protocol to release detrimental energetic cords uses muscle testing to count how many energetic cords are present and to determine exactly where each one connects in the energy system—whether to biofields, chakras, meridians, or
organs.  The person then senses into the cord to get more information on how it is configured and perhaps why it is there.  Then we call in trans-personal help to do whatever is necessary to release the cord and heal and seal the place of attachment.

Another kind of specialized detrimental energetic cord is a curse or a hex, explained in the next topic.

Curses and Hexes

(This topic is covered in Soul Detective Level Two Training)

Curses and hexes are specialized types of energetic cords which have detrimental effects.

A curse may be made in a moment of anger, when the well of pain inside of oneself throws an energetic “slime ball” at the energy field of the target with the words, “Damn you!” or some other malevolent thought.   A curse may also be consciously sent from one person to another.  One can hire practitioners of the dark arts to curse or hex someone you do not like.

For example, in Africa, a person who is angry with a neighbor can hire a Native Doctor to “bewitch” the neighbor, either putting something into the neighbor’s food or sending the bewitchment through the air.  When the neighbor begins to feel ill, he will go to the Native Doctor to purchase the antidote to the bewitchment.  Who is profiting from this system?  You figure it out!

A hex is a consciously configured detrimental program usually created by a professional to bind the life energy of the target in a specific way.  The beautiful hex signs on Amish barns are placed there to bring good luck, and also to protect the family and the farm from hexes.  An example of a hex would be a Latino woman in love with a man who is involved with another woman hiring a practitioner of the dark arts, a witch or bruja, to place a hex on the other woman so she will get sick.  The woman is hoping that when her rival gets sick, the man she loves will lose interest in the other woman and come to her.

I do not recommend the practice, because of the law of karma is that “What you sow you will reap.”  Whatever you do to others will come back to you.  She may get the man, but then another woman who wants her out of the way may hire another bruja to place a hex on her!

By the way, the law of karma works both ways.  If you do good things for others, a blessing comes back to you.  But if you cheat or hurt others, that negative energy falls back on you—and practitioners of earth wisdom say it comes back threefold!

Protection from a Curse

When I visited Rwanda on a humanitarian mission in 2009, our translator told us about a curse that had come upon his family.  Many people in Africa worship their ancestors and dialog with them, asking for favors.  Our translator’s father asked his ancestors for something specific that he wanted.  The ancestors agreed to give it to him, on the condition that after he received it, he would sacrifice a bull in their honor.  His father agreed, and he got what he wanted.  Then he reneged on his part of the agreement and did not go to the expense of purchasing and sacrificing the bull.  The ancestors became angry with him for not keeping their bargain and placed a curse on his children.  One by one, six of his seven adult children died of illnesses and accidents over the course of the next year.  Our translator was the only surviving sibling.  In amazement, I asked him, “Why didn’t you die too?”

He explained, “That is easy.  I am a Christian, and the blood of Christ protects me from harm.”

CASE EXAMPLE OF A CURSE

Adrienne was a chiropractor whose beloved older sister Iris had just been diagnosed with end stage ovarian cancer.  Iris lived at a distance, but she gave Adrienne permission to do remote surrogate energy healing work on her.  Adrienne started doing an energy technique she had learned called Neuromodulation Technique (NMT) (online at www.neuromodulationtechnique.com).  Several days later, as Adrienne was washing the dishes, out of the blue, her framed NMT certificate fell off of the wall with a loud bang.  This crash scared her at first, but then she decided the angels of healing were trying to tell her to keep doing more NMT on Iris.

The Firstborn Dies Young

The two weeks between the time Iris was diagnosed and the time that her entire family of origin gathered to say goodbye to her were filled with emotional turmoil.  Adrienne could not figure out how her dynamic, energetic sister Iris could be dying from cancer. On the flight to her sister’s home, she was reading a book her husband had given her titled Love’s Own Truths by Bert Hellinger about family patterns being handed down through the generations.  She noticed a pattern on her father’s side of the family that formerly had seemed like isolated, unconnected events:

Grandfather Albert had three children: Christopher, Linda, and Paul, Adrienne’s father.  In the first generation of Albert’s descendents, his firstborn child Christopher died young in his 40’s of kidney  complications from diabetes.

  • In the second generation of descendants,  Christopher’s firstborn child died of cancer in his 40’s.
  • Linda’s firstborn died in an accident in his 30’s.
  • And now the doctors were saying that Paul’s firstborn, Iris, was about to die in her 40’s.

Adrienne realized that her family had a pattern of the firstborn child dying young.

The pattern seemed to also be extending into the next generation as the firstborn of Iris was having life-threatening asthma attacks, unresponsive to medication and to the finest allopathic and complementary health care treatments available.

With the family all gathered together, Adrienne explained the family pattern she had spotted, and everyone agreed to a family healing session. Adrienne used Bert Hellinger’s family constellation healing protocol.  She first inquired whether anyone in the family had died in an unusual manner.

Getting Away with Murder

Her father disclosed that his father’s brother Henry had been murdered.  Uncle Henry had taken a woman who was separated from her husband to a dance.  The woman’s husband became enraged and ambushed their horse and buggy after the dance.  The man shot and killed Henry.  Grandfather Albert was heartbroken.  His brother Henry was over a decade younger, and Albert had always taken care of him growing up.  Albert was almost like a father to Henry.

The murderer was never punished, as the attitude in the early 1900’s was, “You don’t mess with a man’s wife.”  Women were considered the property of the man, like a horse, and if somebody tries to steal your horse, you have the right to shoot him.

“I Want the Death Penalty!”

Adrienne next asked family members to role play their ancestors to find out how the energy had constellated.  The surrogate who stood in Grandpa Albert’s place felt cheated in life because his brother had been killed and his first wife died a few years after they were married from a sudden illness.  The energy peaked when Albert’s surrogate exclaimed the curse,  “I want the death penalty for the man who killed my brother!”  The family fully understood this feeling from Albert’s deep grief and loss.  However, Albert wanted the authorities to execute the man who had murdered his brother.

He wanted the murderer to die young, just like his brother had. Because the energy of this curse did not land on the person intended, the early death pattern boomeranged back to Albert and fell upon the one he loved the most—his firstborn child Christopher.  The curse also fell on the firstborn of all of his children and was starting to affect the firstborn of his grandchildren.

Reconciliation

Adrienne did healing work with Albert, his brother Henry, and the man who murdered Henry, who were all now united in death.  Grandfather Albert was able to release his lack of forgiveness, which cancelled the curse.  The three men involved were reconciled.  The family felt as if a heavy, dark burden had dissolved.

Iris had been unconscious and on the brink of death before this curse was lifted.  Too weak for chemotherapy, the cancer was advancing rapidly, and the doctors said her chances of dying from this illness were 99.9%.

The Time Is Now!

Adrienne called her husband, who was also an NMT practitioner, to tell him the bad news about the prognosis for Iris.  Spirit had been urging him to do remote NMT healing for Iris all day, even though he had a full schedule.  So over the phone, he surrogate tested what to work on, and Adrienne did a surrogate treatment for her sister on her own body while standing in the hospital hallway outside of her room.  When he muscle tested, “She wants to live,” the answer was negative.  When he tested, “She wants to die,” the test was again negative.  He realized Iris was divided within herself on whether to live or whether to die.  He felt that had Iris been unified in wanting to die, she would probably not have survived her surgery, which removed tumors the size of several oranges.

Adrienne’s husband felt a transfer of energy happen from him to Iris during this treatment and was absolutely exhausted afterwards, almost as if the physical system of Iris had so little chi of its own that she would not have been able to enter the NMT corrections into her nervous system if he had not sent some of his own personal chi to her out of his love and care for her.

When the family arrived at the hospital the next day, to their surprise, Iris had improved enough to take out her breathing tube!  Instead of telling them all that she loved them (the expected goodbye speech of the almost deceased), Iris muttered that she wanted to brush her teeth.  She glared at the family awhile, with an expression like, “Why are you all standing around acting like I am going to die?”   Then she sent everyone home.

Turnaround

That night Iris called in her firstborn and told her, “I’m not going anywhere!  I’m going to beat this illness.” With her energy field unified, she had chosen life with her whole heart.  Before the curse was lifted, it blocked the NMT protocols Adrienne had done for Iris.  But once the curse was lifted, the NMT that her husband did worked!  The physicians had not done anything to treat the cancer, but it was going into remission.

Adrienne contacted the originator of NMT, Dr. Leslie Feinberg, to work with Iris over the phone because of his highly successful work with cancer patients.  He was warm and engaging and gave them an appointment that very day even though it was Christmas Eve.  Iris improved so rapidly that she was able to leave Intensive Care and go into a regular hospital room that same day.  Iris told Adrienne, “That Dr. Feingold is really good.”

Adrienne answered, “He sure is, but his name is Dr. Feinberg.”

Christmas

Iris ordered the exact health food she wanted to eat for Christmas dinner the next day.  Then her four children had a problem: since Iris had been unconscious and not expected to live, nobody had bought a Christmas present for her!  So they did an emergency shopping trip.

Adrienne stayed overnight in the hospital with her beloved sister Iris.  When the others left, Iris looked at her and beamed a radiant smile, from ear to ear.  Iris and Adrienne had a long heart-to-heart talk in the middle of the night about their relationship as children, their parents, and their present lives.  When Adrienne told Iris about the curse they had lifted from the family, she responded, “That is chilling!”  Iris told Adrienne again, “The work of Dr. Feinstein really helped me.”

Adrienne answered, “Yes, he’s terrific, and his name is Dr. Feinberg.”

The next morning, Christmas Day, two of the doctors from the hospital came into her room and found Iris perky and smiling.  They knew that they had not done anything to treat her cancer.  They looked somewhat dumbfounded and remarked how sick she had been in ICU just a few days earlier.  She told them, “I’m very happy to be alive, and I thank you for saving my life.”  Not wanting to appear weird, nobody in the family mentioned anything about the NMT treatments to the hospital personnel!

The physicians inquired, “Do you have any pain?”

As Adrienne stared at the swollen belly of Iris, her colostomy, and the six tubes coming out of her torso, Iris replied, “No.”  She was not on any pain medication and had no pain.  This event in itself felt like a miracle.  Adrienne could visibly see the swelling in her sister’s belly going down and the light coming back into her eyes.

NMT Treatments

Dr. Feinberg worked with Iris on each issue as it came up.  To the great amazement of her physicians and the joy of her family, in a matter of weeks, Iris no longer needed any of the drainage tubes.  She improved so much that she was discharged from the hospital and airlifted to an alternative cancer treatment clinic in Mexico.  Unfortunately, on the way to Mexico, the chartered plane flew too high, and she had difficulty breathing at that altitude.  Her heart rate spiked at 250 beats per minute.  She had to land only half way to Mexico and then relapsed.  Still, in the two months from the time of lifting the curse until her death, Iris did a tremendous amount of personal and family healing work.  Her daughter’s asthma also cleared.

Healing Gifts

When the time came to unplug the machines, Iris had given her whole family an enormous gift: release of “the firstborn dies young” curse on the next generation of Albert’s descendants.  Dr. Feinberg also made an important discovery through his work with Iris that benefited others who came after her.

Soul Loss

(This topic is covered in Soul Detective Level Two Training)

Webster defines soul as “the immaterial essence, animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life.”  The soul is the part of us that never dies, our spiritual essence that holds a record of all the experiences we have ever had in all of our lifetimes.  To grow, the soul sends part of its essence into incarnation in a physical body to learn a specific lesson or to accomplish a particular mission.  According to author Michael Newton, we always keep some of our soul essence in the higher planes and may send only 20 or 30% of our soul essence into an incarnation.

Past Life Soul Loss

Normally when we die, the piece of our soul we sent into the incarnation leaves the physical body and returns back to the rest of our soul essence in the higher realms of Light. However, with past life trauma, the piece of soul energy of an individual lifetime may get stuck on the earth plane after death.  Traditionally, shamans have trained to go into other worlds to find these missing soul pieces and return them to the owner.

Present Life Soul Loss

Another form of soul loss happens during an incarnation when a person goes through trauma so horrible that part of the soul essence checks out.  Children repeatedly abused by their caretakers may have part of their soul essence split off, unable to stand the suffering.  Veterans who have witnessed too many atrocities in wartime may be unable to stay open to their own feelings, and it seems as if their souls have abandoned ship because of the horrors they have been through.  A person with soul loss may have a hollow stare in the eyes, as if nobody is home.  The technical psychological term for this problem is dissociation.

Soul Detective Protocol for Healing Soul Loss

The Soul Detective protocol for healing soul loss first muscle tests for the number of soul fragments lost and identifies whether they were lost in the present life or in a past life.  If the trauma that caused the soul loss is in a past life, we use the past life protocol, watching for where the trauma was so unbearable that the soul had to leave.

If the soul loss is from the current lifetime, we identify the age that each soul fragment split off and then treat the trauma causing the fragmentation with energy therapy.

CASE EXAMPLE OF SOUL LOSS: HEINRICH

Francine came to therapy for her severe ambivalence about being in relationship with the man in her life.  We traced the ambivalence to an incarnation as a male named Heinrich born in the year 556 AD, in the area now called Germany.   Heinrich’s happiest moment was at age 14, when he was enraptured by a vision of Christ.  He joined a Franciscan order of monks, totally dedicating his life to God.

Stabbed in the Back

At age 19, he and two other monks were outside working in the fields.  Enemies came and killed the other two monks.  They stabbed Heinrich from the back, puncturing his lung.  He tried to run to warn the others, but could not because he was overweight, wounded, and operating on only one lung.  He lived for thirty-three minutes after being stabbed, severely traumatized by seeing the deaths of his two brother monks and blaming himself for not being able to protect the others.  His shame at being powerless to help kept his spirit earthbound.

After treating Heinrich’s shame and powerlessness with energy tapping, he was ready to cross into the Light.  Jesus came for him, and he wept profusely!

Soul Lesson

Francine was able to connect this past life with her relationship pattern of codependency, feeling responsible for all the disruptive energy in the relationship with her partner.  The soul lesson for Heinrich was, “Everything is not always my fault.    I don’t have to be perfect for God to love me!” Francine applied this lesson to her current incarnation in two ways:

  1. She realized that her partner had his own issues and was responsible for his own soul growth.
  2. She also saw that she had been trying to be perfect so others could love her, but being perfect is impossible!   After this session, she was better able to accept her own imperfections and to feel worthy of love in an intimate personal relationship.

Vows

(This topic is covered in Soul Detective Level Two Training)

When the Roman Catholic Church declared reincarnation a heresy in the 500’s, they inadvertently created a problem for the sincere spiritual seekers who joined their religious orders as the fastest way to promote their own spiritual growth.  The vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience for nuns and priests are taken “in perpetuity,” which means they last forever.  Since the church did not believe in future incarnations, they did not realize these vows would stay written on the soul and still be there in all future lifetimes for the people in this religious order.

Many people in the healing professions have great difficulty making money and handling the business aspects of their practices because they have a vow of poverty written on their soul.  Some even seem to have an aversion to being paid fairly for their services.  The most important relationship we have is our connection with our own soul, so for people carrying a vow of poverty, all of life will conspire to keep money away from them so that they can maintain their integrity with their own soul.  If they also have a vow of chastity, they may have difficulty establishing healthy partnerships.

A vow of poverty can be also taken for a different reason.  For example, a wealthy young woman was really enjoying her life.  She  went for a ride in her car and was hijacked, robbed of her jewels, and murdered.  As she was dying, she thought, “Being rich is not a good idea.  My money got me murdered, and I was so young!  I vow that in my next incarnation, I’m going to stay poor!”  In this case, the vow of poverty was taken as an attempt to stay safe the next time around.  But then in the next incarnation, poverty did not feel so safe either, and the woman came for a Soul Detective session to clear this vow.

Rescinding a Vow

The Soul Detective protocol uses muscle testing to find out if a vow is at the root of a current day problem, such as not being able to  make money.  Then we next trace when the vow was taken so we know its purpose.  Next we work through the negative beliefs around the topic, such as subconscious programming branding money as evil and sexuality as unclean or the idea of needing to be  poor and celibate in order to effectively serve God.  We do energy work to dislodge these negative attitudes and replace them with healthier beliefs.   With the acceleration of spiritual energy in our current times, we now have a new “fast track” to spiritual growth.  Rather than suffering being the only way to draw close to the Divine, we now have the option of joy—filling the desires of our  hearts as we live our soul’s mission.

Once a person finds a better way to accomplish the goal of serving God or of staying safe, they are ready to rescind the vow.
