Adding positives when you are ready!

18. Reminder Phrase and Tapping Points

19. Median Points? "Throughout history, many cultures have believed in the existence of some sort of energy that permeates all living organisms, including human beings. This universal life energy--called qi (or chi) in China, ki in Japan, and prana in India--circulates throughout the body and in an energy field surrounding the body. Health, according to this model, is the harmonious flow of life energy, while imbalances in this flow (due to unhealthy habits or emotions, for example) may result in illness…"                                                  ---Andrew Weil, MD

20. Insta – Chi ! But seriously…

21. Let’s Tap Set-Up: Even though I hate math and it hates me, I love and accept myself. I choose to find a fun way to learn the math rules so that I can solve this stupid problem. Reminder: math rules (or- this stupid problem) Ask questions and discover what to tap on. Assess your Suds level now. Are you ready for the solution to the math problem?

22. (3a) -3 (9a -1) -2 = (3 -3 ) (a -3) (9 -2 ) (a +2 ) = (1/33) (1/a3) ( 1/9 2 ) (a 2 ) = (1/27) (1/a3 ) (1/81 ) (a2) = (1/27) (a) (1/81 ) (1) = 1/2187a Did you remember the rules or do we need to work on the rules. TBT allows learning to take place, but it never replaces learning or good teaching. What’s your SUDS now?

23. How do I know what to do? There is no wrong way to do TBT There is no set thing to say when doing the Set-Up. There are no wrong tapping points… however, some may be more effective than others for you. There is no wrong Reminder Phrase. EFT uses all learning styles AVK

24. Cautions Even though there is no wrong way to use TBT, this doesn’t mean that it won’t be emotional. Many of the situations we deal with are filled with the sting of past events. If you use TBT in the classroom, make sure that you have the permission of your administration and that they know what you are doing.

25. More Cautions Learn all that you can about Tap for Better Teaching and The Emotional Freedom Technique so that you can utilize them as effective tools. Be cautious about dealing with student issues that do not center around classroom issues. Work on yourself before working on others. It feels much more comfortable to be in the know and it is always better to be an example of a method than just a teacher of a method.

26. Tap for Better Teaching and Everything Else. Gary says,” Try it on everything.” We say, “ Whatever is keeping you from becoming the best that you can be, needs tapping.” Teachers, students, counselors, probation officers, volunteers, parents, and everyone else needs to improve the education game and TBT is a tool.
