Discharge Emotional Pain or Stress and feel better       EMOTIONF.TXT
       ***********************************************************************
       There is no reason to continue experiencing Emotional pain or
       stress.  Emotional or Physical feelings are not just experiences
       that happen, they are reactions we can choose to have or not have.
       When we are in charge of our own emotions, we can stop the self-
       defeating behavior or reactions to others.  Once we learn we can
       feel what we choose to feel, we are on the road to "intelligence".
       You begin to see the emotions you experience as a choice rather
       than an experience in life.

       PLEASE READ THIS TWICE DAILY for at 30 days, for if you do you
       will know it as well as someone who has practiced for 5 years.

       Practice the FIRST portion of this exercise as a preventative
       measure for one to three weeks before beginning to deliberately
       work with negative or painful memories.  Recall ONLY good memories
       as much as possible, but if a painful one comes, act as if it's a
       message from the subconscious that you ARE ready to deal with it,
       for at that time it will do so.

       Practice 10-15 minutes once or twice per day for at least one
       week.  This creates the needed resources, (though the tapes do a
       better job) and in 6-8 weeks you may be very surprised how much
       better it works.  First, Loosen any tight clothing, if possible
       take off your shoes. Sit or lie in a comfortable position...

       Close your eyes.  Recall 9 or 10 pleasant memories. Pay attention
       to _physical_ feelings or whatever you remember from them.

       Press the thumb and finger or fingers of your left hand for 2-3
       seconds, each time you are aware of a particular good or positive
       physical feeling.

       Choose a good physical feeling, to represent all good feelings,
       and Press the thumb and finger on your left hand for 2-3 seconds.

       Separate the fingers and thumb on your left hand.
       ----------------------------------------------------------------------
       After practicing the above for one to three weeks, to create a
       "Conditioned Reflex" that will work for you then continue.....
       ----------------------------------------------------------------------
       Switch to a memory that represents uncomfortable memories or
       stress, and press the thumb and finger on your RIGHT hand for 2
       or 3 seconds.  Think about feelings that represent stress.
       Choose a BAD physical feeling, to represent all the bad feelings.
       Press the thumb and finger on your RIGHT hand for 2 or 3 seconds.
       THEN, press the thumb and fingers on BOTH HANDS.

       If you feel overwhelmed or cant think of any good feelings,
       just keep your thumbs and fingers pressed until the feelings
       reduce, or focus on your breathing, until they do...

       THEN switch back and forth between the Best Memory and the Worst
       MEMORY or think of both memories at the same time, whichever
       you find easier.  If thinking of each separately, do so for only
       two or three seconds EACH, before switching to the other memory.

       Switch back and forth AT LEAST ten times, before you stop.

       FINISH:  Recall 10 pleasant memories, spend as much time as you
       wish, pay attention to feelings, & press your left finger with
       each memory.
