NINE GAMUT SEQUENCE
The Nine Gamut is actually a synthesis of Neuro-Linguistic Processing and eye movement in addition to continuous tapping on the back of the hand which balances the two sides of the mind, the conscious and the subconscious, and is a powerful adjunct to the primary sequence when an issue won't budge. To do the Nine Gamut technique, continuously tap on the back of the hand between the ring bone and the pinky bone, in the hollow, while doing the movements directed below.
Then, without moving the head:
• Look straight forward for 5 taps
• Close your eyes for 5 taps
• Look straight forward again for 5 taps
• Look down and to the right for 5 taps
• Look down and to the left for 5 taps
• Move your eyes in a clockwise circle
starting at 6 o'clock and return to 6 o'clock
• Reverse the movement starting at 6 o'clock
and returning to 6 o'clock
• Count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• Sing or hum a tune (Happy Birthday works great)
• Count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
While doing the circular movement, it is very helpful to have someone else move their fingers or hand in a clockwise and counterclockwise fashion so that your eyes can follow them. It gives your eyes something to focus on while moving. Ask them to watch your eyes closely. If they notice that your eyes are “jumping” or “skipping” parts of the circle, have them move their fingers back and forth across that section of the circle while you concentrate on following the fingers. It has been our experience that when the eyes can follow the circular movement smoothly over that spot, the issue being worked on often vanishes or is reduced dramatically. As for counting to five, this is a rote memorization process and therefore, uses the left side/conscious mind to do the counting. Singing a song uses the right side/subconscious mind. By alternating the two sides of the mind, you automatically re-balance the two sides of the brain. You have now completed an entire full Sequence and it is now time to take a deep breath, close your eyes and focus on the subject again to see if SUDS have changed. If you started with an eight and find yourself at a four, you will realize that you have reduced your subjective pain by half and it is time to start a second Sequence. You will do almost exactly the same as your did the first time except the set-up wording changes a bit. At this point, as you continue doing successive rounds of sequences, changing the phraseology to “Even though I still have some remaining stress (etc.), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” This acknowledges that there was a change, but some level of stress still remains. We then use the reminder phrase “This remaining stress,” or “all remaining stress,” etc. As the issue declines in severity, it is best to continue to acknowledge its reduction to the subconscious so that its success is honored. You should continue with rounds of sequences or nine gamut until the SUDS comes down to zero, at which time you can stop and move on to another issue. New issues often present themselves automatically as the main issue clears. You will often find that it will come down to a 1-2, at which point many stop and expect it will come down the rest of the way on its own. Often times the issue will resolve itself after the passage of some time. In fact, its been our experience that it can take hours to resolve something that you tapped on and didn't think it had any effect, but later you notice that you no longer feel the way you did before you started tapping. On the other hand, if you want immediate results and you are at a 1-2, you can use the “bottom-to-top six-count eye roll” which is a simple technique that uses the nine gamut point on the back of the hand between the pinky and ring finger bones and you continually tap on that spot while you say “this stress” or something similar, while moving your eyes in six steps from the very bottom to the very top of their range. We use our fingers to have clients look at them starting at the bottom and then in six increments move towards the top point. If you are doing this by yourself, you should make sure that you start with your eyes all the way at the bottom of your field of vision without moving your head and end with them at the very top of it. If someone else is helping you with it, they should move their fingers from as low as you can see to as high as you can see in six increments while saying at each level “this stress” or anything else that's appropriate. At the conclusion of the bottom-to-top eye roll, it has been our experience that any of the stress below level 2 will be immediately resolved.
ANOMALIES Sometimes, you may notice that the original SUDS number actually “increases” after doing a round of EFT. Don’t be distressed at this and think what have I done to myself. In fact, it has been our experience that you are actually more successful than you realized at eliminating the first issue and completely eradicating it without realizing it. When the distress increases, you can be relatively certain that you have eliminated the first issue and uncovered a related issue that carries a greater stress with it than the original issue. If you find this happens, we suggest you look more carefully at the two issues and distinguish between them so that you can recognize that a shift has occurred from one to another. Again, don’t be alarmed, just tap on the new issue until it is resolved. PREVIOUS ‡
