  Follow-Up sequence allows the bodys energy to be
  moved and change to begin.

  issue and allows clearing.

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,

Lets 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)

  solution to the math problem?

  but it never replaces learning or good teaching.
• Whats 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 doesnt mean that it wont 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.

27
More Q A

• Please think about how you can use TBT in the
  classroom, the school, and your life. Do you have
  any questions for us to deal with as a group?

  an individual basis, email us, call us, or snail
