IEP / Intention Tapping for Self-help:

� Show you how to use IEP to release your emotional attachments and restore energy flow, to bring you clarity and calm

� Show you how to creatively apply intention tapping to create new futures and access energy, confidence and power for change

� Intention-based Energy Process (IEP), aka “Intention Tapping” is a simple yet powerful process of combining specific definite intentions with tapping.

� IEP’s intentions act as commands to your unconscious mind to release the emotional attachments behind your problems, unblock the energy disturbances that result, and restore your body energy back to flow.

� This process often results in both rapid and dramatic positive shifts in thinking and feeling.

Simple Energy Techniques (SET),Simple Energy Techniques (SET),Simple Energy Techniques (SET),Simple Energy Techniques (SET),

a user-friendly tapping approach

developed by Steve Wells &

Dr David Lake.

SET evolved as a simpler form of

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and is gentle, easy to learn & surprisingly effective!

� SET does not routinely use set-up statements or reminder statements. Instead, you focus on your problem in your own way.

� Continual tapping is a cornerstone of SET.

� SET uses fingertip tapping, especially using the thumb of the same hand.

� Tap, any order, either side of body

� Focus on whatever you’re aware of: ◦ Thoughts,

◦ Feelings,

◦ Body sensations, etc.

� Tap directly (focus), or indirectly (just tap)

� Mindful Acceptance Tapping: ◦ Notice, accept, allow, follow

� More tapping = better your results are likely to be!

� Tap daily for energy toning

� Uses specific definite intentions / commands to the subconscious mind (with or without tapping) to:

� Release emotional attachments to negative thoughts, beliefs, past hurts, unhealthy patterns

� Restore energy to flow, bringing emotional balance and clarity

� Reconnect with inner resources and access your energy and power for positive change

� Tapping on problems vs. goals and intentions

A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It is not our thoughts but the attachment to our thoughts, that causes suffering.

- Byron Katie, Loving What Is

� It’s not the thought that is the problem it is the emotional attachment(s) to the thought.

� Tapping works to release the emotional attachments

� The Work releases attachment through inquiry (Is it true?)

� What if we could use intention?

� I release all my emotional attachments to (problem, event, image, belief, thought)

� I restore the right energy flow to (body area)

� Release emotional attachments and restore energy flow disturbances caused by:

◦ Past traumas and hurts

◦ Future fantasies and projections

� The result is more energy and availability to be present in your life

Your brain (and your nervous system) can’t tell the difference between something you vividly imagine and something you actually experience.

- Maxwell Maltz

� What do you believe about this problem?

� What does having this problem mean?

� What does having this problem mean about you?

� What do you believe about your capacity to solve it?

� What prevents you from succeeding?

� What would need to happen for you to succeed?

� What is the downside of success?

1. Apply IEP to the belief itself

2. Apply IEP to the feeling(s) of the belief

3. Apply IEP to past events where you learned the belief / where you have felt this before

4. Apply IEP to related beliefs and events

For each of your negative beliefs, ask:For each of your negative beliefs, ask:For each of your negative beliefs, ask:For each of your negative beliefs, ask:

� Where did I learn this?

� Who taught me this?

� Where did I first learn this?

For each negative feeling, ask:For each negative feeling, ask:For each negative feeling, ask:For each negative feeling, ask:

� Where have I felt this feeling before?

� Start tapping!

� IEP on body tension & “fear of the fear”

� Construct a 1-2 minute movie of the event

� If you prefer, Tell the Story and go through it in your own way, step by step

� Stop at any intense parts and tap / IEP until the intensity reduces, then continue

� Apply IEP to emotions and meanings

I put this experience back into the past where it actually happened

� Generate a list of past events related to your problem and any negative beliefs

Typically, it is your negative associations to:

� Having the success / Being successful;

� The process involved in getting it; and/or

� Your perceived lack of ability or deservingness to have it.

� You must release your emotional attachments to this BS in order to free yourself to achieve the success you desire.

1.1.1.1. Set your goal / intention: I will... By…

2. Test congruency (Is it 100% YES?) and identify any resistance / objections / conflicting thoughts or feelings

3. Apply IEP to release the resistance / attachments:

◦ I release all my emotional attachments to this (problem, event, image, belief, thought)

◦ I restore the right energy flow to (body area)

4. Check in with your intention and reset or, if “100% YES!”, Go for it!

� Thanks to Dr Larry Nims for the idea of using a cue word, as he used in his approach Be Set Free Fast (BSFF)

� The cue word acts as a direction to the unconscious mind to carry out the process

� We can also use a cue word to initiate the Intention Tapping process, however our instructions are very simple and direct

� When targeting a problem thought or feeling, instead of saying the entire intention statement(s), you can simply use your cue word

� Decide on a cue word that you can use to initiate the Intention Tapping process

� It is best to use a cue word that is short, simple and has positive meaning to you (e.g. calm, love)

� Set the intention that whenever you think or say this cue word your unconscious mind will carry out the full IEP process, and:

◦ Release emotional attachments to target problem(s)◦ Restore energy flow to disturbed body area(s)◦ Return targeted memor(ies) to the past

� Continue to combine this with tapping

� When thoughts are happening very rapidly, you can also use the cue word very rapidly

� Eventually, you start to catch the thoughts before they “hook” you emotionally

� That is a very good day!

� IEP offers a practical way to quiet your mind

� IEP can restore you to a place of calm clarity

� IEP can relieve the emotional stress behind your problems enabling you to approach solving them from a more objective place

� IEP can reconnect you with your inner resources, confidence and personal power

� IEP can help you to achieve your goals by releasing the resistance to achieving them

� IEP can be used to release attachments to false values and uncover your true values

IEP can help you release your attachments to past conditioning and free you to be who you are, live your own life, and achieve your own version of success, starting now!

Tension is who you think you should be

Relaxation is who you are
