Power 8 Tap. Tapping while focusing on moving finger in a figure of 8. Resetting the coding of emotional memories.

1. Power 8 Tap

2. Power 8 Tap works within the limbic system to
provide lasting changes to previous emotional
problems...

3. The Limbic System

4. The Limbic system is a set of evolutionarily primitive brain
structures located on top of the brainstem and buried under the
cortex. Limbic system structures are involved in many of our
emotions and motivations.
Certain structures of the limbic system are involved in memory as
well. Two large limbic system structures, the amygdala and
hippocampus play important roles in memory. The amygdala is
responsible for determining what memories are stored and where
the memories are stored in the brain. It is thought that this
determination is based on how huge an emotional response an
event invokes. The hippocampus sends memories out to the
appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage
and retrieves them when necessary.

5. The amygdala is an almond shaped mass of nuclei located deep within the temporal lobe of the
brain.It is a limbic system structure that is involved in many of our emotions and motivations,
particularly those that are related to survival. The amygdala is involved in the processing of
emotions such as fear, anger and pleasure. The amygdala is also responsible for determining what
memories are stored and where the memories are stored in the brain. It is thought that this
determination is based on how huge an emotional response an event invokes.

6. Cingulate Gyrus
Function:
Coordinates Sensory Input With Emotions
Emotional Responses to Pain
Regulates Aggressive Behaviour
Location:
A gyrus is a fold or "bump" in the brain. The cingulate gyrus is superior to the
corpus callosum, located between the cingulate sulcus and the sulcus (groove or
indentation) of the corpus callosum

7. Fornix
Function:
Connects the Hippocampus to the Hypothalamus.
Location:
The fornix is an arching, fibrous band of nerve fibres that extend from the
hippocampus to the mamillary body of the hypothalamus and forms an arch over
the thalamus.

8. Hippocampus:
The hippocampus is the part of the brain that is involved in memory forming,
organizing, and storing. It is a limbic system structure that is particularly important in
forming new memories and connecting emotions and senses, such as smell and sound,
to memories. The hippocampus is a horseshoe shaped paired structure, with one
hippocampus located in the left brain hemisphere and the other in the right
hemisphere. The hippocampus acts as a memory indexer by sending memories out to
the appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage and retrieving
them when necessary.

9. Hypothalamus:
About the size of a pearl, the hypothalamus directs a multitude of important functions in
the body. It is the control centre for many autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous
system. Connections with structures of the endocrine and nervous systems enable the
hypothalamus to play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis. For example, blood vessel
connections between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland allow hypothalamic hormones
to control pituitary hormone secretion. As a limbic system structure, the hypothalamus
also influences various emotional responses.

10. Why the
8

11. The 8 stems from NLP
Technique...
Eye accessing cues.

13. This NLP Technique is very limited. The drawing itself is 2 Dimensional.
Yet
We see 3 Dimensional.You can view in a full quarter arch, plus you can
see
Distance within the arch.

14. The Power Tap...

15. From my 10Yrs experience within the Tapping field. My clients & I
mention
that the collarbone point seems to give the most comfort and
relief.This is the
'POWER POINT'

16. HOW TO DO
'POWER 8 TAP'

17. You get your client to recall the memory. Make a note of the SUD's level. While still
Holding onto the memory (work content free) We don't wish to get caught up in the
Clients story!
You get client to start tapping the Power Point (collarbone point) While still holding
Onto the memory.
Now, get your client to keep their head perfectly still. They are only to move their
Eyes in a figure of 8 following your extended finger. The 8 figure needs to be
sidewards.
You need to extend their eyes right out to the Peripheral vision, while keeping their
Head still and saying ''Let it go”

18. * So the client is now focusing and holding onto the memory
* Tapping the Power point
* Following your finger in the figure 8 pattern
* Saying “Let it go”
All you need to do, is remind the client to 'TRY' and hold onto the memory.
Experience shows that such applications of eye movement therapies is particularly
effective with regards to intrusive imagery and "flashback" phenomena. Essentially,
the method involves holding the problematic imagery in mind whilst the eyes are
moved in different directions. The result of this is often that the imagery loses its
emotional impact and becomes far less disturbing.
I followed and observed a number of neurological phenomena that occur during
the eye movements at the point that the problematic imagery changed its emotional
coding. While trying to hold onto the memory the eyes would blink, flicker even point
In different directions.
The whole eye movement process re-codes the locked memory within the limbic
system and the tapping works on the whole body system.

19. Some tips while doing this process...
I always ask my clients to 'tap' with their left hand. The left side of the body is
Governed by the right hemisphere of the brain. This part of the brain deals with
Images, pictures, imagination and daydreaming...I've discovered this allows this
Process to work even quicker doing it this way.
Once they can't keep the memory, due to the re-coding. I get them to finally tap
With the right hand, thats controlled by the left hemisphere . This part of the brain
Deals with language, logic, sequences and analysing. Asking them what new
Resources have they discovered by doing this technique.
The client will give you a list of resources. I've noticed I don't need to flip the memory.
Because the whole sub-modalities have changed. The brain as re-coded the memory
And tapping as sorted out the Body system.
A perfect combination....
