“In the last century more amazing things were found out
than in any century before. In this new century hundreds of
things still more astounding will be brought to light. At first,
people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be
done; then they begin to hope it can be done; then they
see it can be done – then it is done and all the world
wonders why it was not done centuries ago.”

FORWARD

This work (which is much more than this book), is an effort in
time, thought, study, at times anguish, but most of all an
effort of love. My wife's love is expressed in this work; her
love of people and the health they can achieve,
physically, emotionally and spiritually. She has poured her
Self, physically, emotionally and spiritually into this work. Her
love of and for this work never ceases to amaze me and is
only exceeded by her love to share her discoveries.

In this book you will find a condensed (not simplified)


version of a much larger picture. It is subtitled a “self-help
guide” but, it won't take you long to see how you can
apply it to others. This drop in the ocean will have a ripple
effect; she will touch your life, you will touch lives, they will
touch lives, ad infinitum. And that is the goal, to better your
life and thereby benefitting all you touch and therefore all
they touch. You will see that changing one element in the
system for the better, improves the whole system and any
and all adjacent systems.

C H A P T E R 1 • WHAT IS EPTWORKS™?
“When I dare to be powerful to use my strength
in the service of my vision – it becomes less and
less important whether I am afraid.”

AUDRE LORD

Emotional Polarity Technique (EPTworks™) is a synthesis of


the accumulated information I have obtained through a
variety of books, tapes and seminars. While it is an
amalgam of many approaches to mind-body integration,
Emotional Polarity Technique stands on its own as a distinct
highly effective, emotional health technology designed to
eliminate or minimize the process while achieving the
desired outcome.

Facilitation of Emotional Polarity Technique can result in the


elimination of chronic health problems and chronic pain
by transforming the human biofield and removing the
negative emotional patterns and the neuropeptides that
precipitate the problem.

The finer and more notable aspect of Emotional Polarity


Technique is the ability to enhance life, identifying and

diffusing old limiting belief systems and installing limitless


positive affirming belief systems resulting in individual
empowerment.

Forgiveness is a key component in this


emotional/physical/spiritual transformation.

It is only in focusing and activating our ability to forgive –


that true healing takes place.

A HEALING JOURNEY
Using the body and mind, EPTworks™ will effectively lead
you to the discovery of your hidden beliefs; those beliefs
that are not in alignment with divine truth, those beliefs
that hold you back from true happiness and success.

For example, you may believe that you are not good
enough. The truth is – you are good enough. God made
you that way. He designed each one of us with a purpose
in mind. Our finite existence is essential to define and
contain God's infinite nature. Without finite creation, infinite
nature has no boundaries of expression and cannot be

9 • What is EPTworks™?

comprehended. The truth is – you are good enough. Your


very creation is evidence that you are good enough. You
are designed to provide tangible expression of God. You
may believe that you are not loved. The truth is – God
loves you even when you ignore that love. You may
believe that you are alone. The truth is – God is with you.
Through forgiveness, it becomes possible to realign us with
divine truth, the truth of who we are and why we are here.
As our realignment with the divine takes place, healing
occurs naturally.

True healing is greater than the elimination of pain or


restoration of health. True healing is the restoration of soul
and spirit.

Since we are truly one in body, mind and spirit our hidden
beliefs can be found imprinted within the cellular
intelligence of our bodies and minds. EPTworks™ is a
system that approaches the healing journey to forgiveness
via the body and mind. It allows that pain or emotional
discomfort can become the doorway to gold mines of self-
discovery. True healing is a journey that will always result in
greater spiritual awareness of who we are and what our

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


10 • What is EPTworks™?

divine purpose is. I believe this may only be accomplished


through forgiveness.

I have personally practiced EPTworks™ for many years now


and am a witness to the transformative power that it has
on my own life and on the lives of others. Recently, I was
asked if I would ever be “finished” and no longer benefit
from EPTworks™. I responded simply; “When I can love 100%
of the people 100% of the time, I’ll be finished.” Until then,
you will find me here enjoying the journey that leads me
back to the love that I am. I pray that you will find
EPTworks™ as useful as I have, as you pursue your own
healing journey.

C H A P T E R 2 • ENERGY PSYCHOLOGY
“After years of thought study and contemplation I have come to
the conclusion that there is only one thing in the universe and that
is energy beyond all that is a Supreme Intelligence.”

ALBERT EINSTEIN

EPTworks™ really looks, smells, feels and tastes like another


one of those new-fangled, trendy psychology techniques.
Let's see, there is BSFF (Be Set Free Fast), EFT (Emotional
Freedom Technique), TFT (Thought Field Therapy EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), NET (Neuro
Emotional Technique), TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique),
AcuPower, The Matrix Work, EdxTM, NEI (NeuroEmotional
Integration Technique), and probably a hundred more. The
reason EPTworks™ seems similar to these and other
techniques is because it is similar.

These new techniques are emerging due to the rapid


assimilation and application of expanded knowledge of
the body, biofield, and thought field. The last forty years
have seen huge advancement in our understanding of
subtle energy and the body/mind, characterized by some
remarkable research and development. EPTworks™, along
with those techniques listed above and others, is classified

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


12 • Energy Psychology

as an “Energy Psychology” technique. The Association for


Comprehensive Energy Psychology (founders: David
Grudermeyer, Ph.D., Rebecca Grudermeyer, Psy.D. and
Dorthea HoverKramer, Ed.D., R.N.) describes Energy
Psychology as follows:

“Energy Psychology includes three major interacting


systems: 1) Pathways, (meridians, and related
acupoints), 2) Centers (chakras),' and 3) the Biofield
(aura).

While there are many approaches to working with


each of these three aspects independently,
Comprehensive Energy Psychology embraces all three
interactive energy systems and teaches treatment
approaches for each aspect facilitating the best
possible outcome for clients.”

EPTworks™, like any other Energy Psychology technique, relies


heavily on the invisible (to most) subtle energy systems surrounding
the body/mind.

While acupuncture classically has defined these subtle


energy systems, it has only been in the last forty years that
researchers are actually verifying their existence. It has only

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


13 • Energy Psychology

been in the last forty or fifty years that the technology has
been developed that can measure and picture these
subtle energy systems that were mapped out some 6000
years ago by the Chinese. In his book, The Kirlian Aura,
William Tiller reports on the work of Professor Kim Bong Han.
Kim injected radioactive phosphors into an acupuncture
point and followed it by using special instruments to record
its path. He found that it proceeded along the path, which
was described by the Chinese.

Gabriel Cousens, M.D. in his intro for the book, Vibrational


Medicine, by Richard Gerber, M.D. says, “... we, as human
organisms, are a series of interacting multidimensional
subtle-energy systems, and that if these energy systems
become imbalanced there may be resulting pathological
symptoms which manifest on the
physical/emotional/mental/spiritual planes.”

CHAPTER 3
EMOTIONS AND THE MIND/BODY/SPIRIT
“When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are
about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing
one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to
stand on or you will be taught to fly.”

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Those who practiced and developed acupuncture also


observed that specific emotions related to particular
meridians. If a person had an over- or under-abundance of
that emotion, balancing energies could restore the person's
emotional well being.

Cooper and Sawaf in their book, Executive EQ: Emotional

this way:

“Emotion too is composed of energy that continually


pours through you, setting in motion a confluence of
deep processes that affect every aspect of your life.”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


16 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

In Healing and The Mind (book and PBS series), Bill Moyers
interviewed Candace Pert, Ph.D. Dr. Pert, a neuroscientist
and researcher, discovered the opiate receptor and many
other peptide receptors in the brain and in the body, which
led to an understanding of the chemicals that travel
between the mind and the body. (ref. Healing and the
Mind, Bill Moyers, Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing
Group, Inc. New York 1993) Speaking of the mind/body
communication system she said,

“Information is flowing. These molecules


(neuropeptides) are being released from one place,
they’re diffusing all over the body and they’re tickling
the receptors that are on the surface of every cell in
your body. We have come to theorize that these
neuropeptides and their receptors are the
biochemical correlates of emotions... We've actually
found the material manifestation of emotions in these
peptides and their receptors… These receptors
floating around on the surface of the cells put out
their little antennae and receive what's coming in.
There's actually a physical attachment process
between the peptide and receptor. And once that
binding process occurs, the receptor, which is a big,

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


17 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

complicated molecule, wiggles and changes in such


a way that things start to happen. Ions start pouring
in, and other changes happen, and eventually the
brain receptors perceive what's happening as
emotions.” (rel previous in text)

Cooper and Sawaf in Executive EQ; Emotional Intelligence

in Leadership &: Organizations summarize by stating:

“Neuroscientists… are confirming... that what's


happening in the brain is also active in the gut and
the central nervous system is connecting the two
together. So emotion influences and activates key
reasoning processes in the brain.”

Emotions are not “just in your head”. EPTworks™ works with


the tangible energy of emotion and its effects upon the
body, mind and spirit. Herbert Benson, M.D., president and
founder of Harvard Medical School's Mind/Body Medical
Institute speaks about emotions in his book, Timeless
Healing:

“Emotions are the natural outgrowths and


representations of the brain as it takes into account a
full picture of the body and world around it. And

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


18 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

they are far more important in brain function and


deciding our health than our society… ever knew…
emotions are not whims of an intangible soul. They
are instead dispatches of the brain as it interprets the
body's experiences in everyday life. They play a far
more crucial role in our physiology than most of us
realize.”

Through the study of Chinese acupuncture and modern


neuroscience we can observe locations of emotional
energy. Acupuncture observes emotion flowing
through, influencing and activating meridians located
within biofield anatomy. Balancing overactive or
underactive meridians can restore emotional balance.

Acupuncture observes:

 Emotion flowing through, influencing and activating


meridians located within biofield anatomy

 Balancing overactive or underactive meridians can


restore emotional balance

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


19 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

Modern neuroscience observes:

 Emotion in the brain is also active in the gut with the


central nervous system connecting the two.

 Neuropeptides and their receptors are the


biochemical correlates of emotions.

Emotion is both mental and physical but what about


spiritual? Dr. Richard E. Cytowic, a neurologist, suggests
emotion is implicated in the neurologic phenomenon
“synesthesia”. Synesthetes seem to consciously tap into
what is an unconscious, physiologic process for most of us.
They are apt to say that a piece of chicken tastes round or
that a symphony sounds blue. Dr. Cytowic says that
emotion decides 'what will grab our attention and what will
not. Since emotion has a logic of its own, we may not be
able to predict how our brains will file our perceptions. He
suspects it is the synthetes unique emotional impulses that
compel them to consciously process multisensory events,
which most of us have lost the ability to do. Because of the
way the brain uses emotion to file perception Dr. Cytowic
suggests that what we know about ourselves is only the “tip
of the iceberg” of who we really are. In his book, The Man

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


20 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

Who Tasted Shapes: A Bizarre Medical Mystery Offers


Revolutionary Insights into Emotions, Reasoning and
Consciousness, he concludes:

“What we think of as voluntary behavior set in motion


by free will is really integrated by another part of our
self. We know more than we think we know. If you
want to try to reclaim some of this deeper
knowledge, I suggest that you start with emotion
which seems to reside at the interface between that
part of self (that) is accessible to awareness and that
part which is not.”

Emotions give us insight into the part of ourselves that


integrates our beliefs into our behavior.

In EPTworks™, emotion is the doorway:

1) It allows us to identity lingering and hidden trauma


that is disruptive to the body and biofield.

2) It leads us to the knowledge of our true beliefs –


those that are in alignment with divine truth and
those that are not.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


21 • Emotions and the Mind/Body/Spirit

Emotion is the starting point. The end result is the


transforming of limiting beliefs into limitless beliefs that align
with divine truth. Aligning your beliefs with divine truth
expands your freedom to experience giving and receiving
love without limitation. The natural result of that freedom:
better health, greater happiness, greater spiritual
awareness.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us.”

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

The simple EPTworks™ formula for this incredible


transformation is:

 Find it! (the emotion and body memory)

 Fix it! (the body and biofield imbalance)

 Forgive it! (what I believed that isn't true)

To find the emotion and body memory you will need three
things:

 Trust in God (prayer is helpful)

 Muscle response testing skill

 Deductive reasoning

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide

TRUST IN GOD

If you do not already have a relationship with God, I


suggest you start one. All healing comes from God. He
loves you and he wants you to heal aligning yourself with
His truth. Pray to Him daily. Ask Him for guidance and
assistance. Tell Him your intention to know the parts of
yourself that are not in alignment with Him so that you may
let them go. Prayer is a powerful tool. Do not underestimate
its power.

A California cardiologist Randy Byrd did a double-blind,


randomized study of 393 coronary patients. He arranged to
have one group prayed for daily by five to seven people
around the country. The people doing the praying were
given the diagnosis, the condition and the name of the
patient. They were asked to pray for “beneficial healing
and quick recovery” of each person. The control group did
not receive prayers from the network. The study was
conducted over a 10-month period and then the results
were analyzed. The group that was prayed for had
significantly fewer complications and required fewer
antibiotics than the control group. (Beecher, M.M. 1986,
Jan.8). Medical Tribune pp.3, 15)

MUSCLE RESPONSE TESTING


Muscle Testing is a simple tool used to access information
from your own personal database – your brain. There is no
doubt that the body physiology does respond to subtle shift
in thought. Think of a time you were frightened. Notice how
your body changes. Think about an arousing sexual
thought. Notice how your body changes. Muscle testing
can be used to measure the body s response to thoughts
and ideas.

Thoughts and ideas that you are congruent with will


maintain your muscle strength. Thoughts and ideas that you
are not congruent with will cause a weakening of muscle
strength. One way to demonstrate this is by placing your
hand palm down on a flat surface. Spread your fingers out
as far as you can. For most people, stating their name (My
name is Annette) will maintain muscle strength. As you state
your name, raise your index finger as high as possible while
leaving your palm and other fingers flat on the table.
Notice how high you can raise this finger. Return hand to
original position. Next, try raising your index finger as you
state a false name (My name is Gilligan) and it will have a
weakening effect on not only the muscle but the entire

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


25 • Find It!

energy system. Most people will experience a slight


tightening while raising the index finger with a noticeable
decrease in the height that you can raise it. Try this test
stating the color of your eyes. (My eyes are blue. My eyes
are brown).

The body/energy system will also be weakened when a


troubling or fearful event is remembered. For example: “My
dad left my mom when I was six and he left at night time.”
This was an actual event for one of my clients. He had a
problem wetting the bed because he didn't want to wake
himself up and find that his dad was gone.

Another test to demonstrate this unconscious body


response is an “arm swing” test. Hold your right arm directly
in front of you, straight out from your body. Hold your hand
in a loose fist with the thumb side of your fist up. Focus your
thought on a pleasurable life experience or event as you
slowly swing your arm toward the left side of your body as
far as you can go. Notice how far you can take it. Now
return your arm to the start position. Next, focus your
thought on a sad or fearful event in your life as you slowly
swing your arm toward the left side of your body as far as
you can go. Most people notice a tightness or a lock in their

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


26 • Find It!

shoulder that prevents them from swinging as far as they


could when they were focusing on the pleasurable thought.

There is no doubt that the body responds to thought, even


when we are not aware of that response. The task then
becomes developing a skill that can conveniently measure
the body's response. To do EPTworks™ for yourself you will
become skilled at muscle response testing.

There are many different ways to test your body's response.


We have discussed two already. The flat hand test and the
arm swing test. Neither of these requires very much
practice or skill to be good at; however, neither offer real
convenience or practicality. The most convenient
approaches to self-testing take some patience and
practice to develop a good feel for the response. I have
chosen to teach three methods for you to try. Practice with
each one to learn which one is most suited to you. The
more you practice, the more confident you will be in your
testing.

1) Middle finger pushing index finger test:


Keep index finger straight. Use middle finger to push
index finger down. Index finger becomes easier to

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


27 • Find It!

push down indicates weakness.

2) O-ring and index finger test:


Make an O with your thumb and index (or middle)
finger with one hand. Place the index finger of your
other hand inside the O, just under the junction of
the thumb and index finger. To test press straight
index finger against O-ring. A weakness is indicated
when you can pull the index finger through,
breaking the O-ring.

3) Smooth and Sticky test:


Rub index finger and thumb of the same hand
together back and forth repeatedly. A weakness is
indicated by a rubbing or sticking feeling as you rub
back and forth.

Practice and test your accuracy with the following statements:

My name is ________________.
(Should be weak when you state inaccurate name.)

I have ______________ hair.


(Should be weak when you state inaccurate color or texture.)

Essentially muscle testing becomes a tool used to gather


information that draws a picture revealing our hidden
beliefs. Muscle testing can be used to communicate
directly to the subconscious. We have already discussed
and practiced using a truthful congruent statement with
muscle response testing. Now let's use muscle testing to find
answers to questions.

Since being strong is the norm, a weak muscle response is a


noticeable event to indicate that you are “warm,”
“correct,” or, “right on the money.” When you say the
statement, “My eyes are blue,” and that is correct, you test

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


30 • Find It!

strong. Now to find the answer to the question, “What color


are my eyes?” You will test strong (no response) to brown,
orange, purple, but will test weak (response) to the color
blue.

STRONG WEAK
STATEMENT true false
congruent disharmony
QUERY no response response
no yes

Your body responds to let you know what is the right answer. Now
practice looking for “answers” using the following questions:

“What is my name?”
(Should be weak when you state your name.)

“What color is my hair?”


(Should be weak when you state correct color.)

“What color are my eyes?”


(Should be weak when you state correct color.)

“Am I married or single?”


(Should be weak on right answer.)

“How many children do I have?”


(Should be weak on correct number.)

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


31 • Find It!

“Am I a man or a woman?”


(Should test weak on right answer.)

“What is my spouse’s name?”


(Should test weak on right answer.)

As you ask questions, searching for the body memory that


holds the secrets to your hidden beliefs, just think of the weak
muscle as a cue from the body that you are getting closer
and closer until you have all the pieces to draw the picture.

DEDUCTIVE REASONING

Once you know how to muscle test, deductive reasoning


becomes essential as you combine it with the muscle
response testing to identity the emotion with the exact
body memory. The “it” in “Find it!” is a statement/word
picture that describes an original body memory.

You will use the EPTworks™ Emotion Chart and the EPTworks™
Flow Chart to help you search.

THERE ARE FIVE WAYS TO BEGIN YOUR SEARCH


FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT WORD PICTURE.

1) FOCUS ON A PERSON: You begin EPTworks™ T by thinking of a


person you think you have a problem with, like your boss.
(Your muscle will test weak.) Next, identify the emotion you
feel. Look at the emotion chart. Ask your body, “Is it in this
column?” “This column?” (Muscle will test weak on correct
column.) Once you have identified the correct column,
deduce the correct emotion by starting at the top of the
column and moving down, “Is it anger?” “Is it resentment?”
etc. (Muscle will test weak on correct emotion.)

So far you have deduced that you feel anger when you
think of your boss. Now ask your body, “Whose anger do I
feel?” “My anger?” (test) Or, “My boss' anger?” (test)
(Muscle will test weak on correct anger). Next, put your
information in a statement, “I feel angry toward my boss
because ( you fill in answer ).” Here is where you just have to
guess. Fortunately, muscle testing can determine which
reason is true to your body. Here are some examples of how
you may fill in the blank:

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


35 • Find It!

“I feel angry toward my boss because …

He makes me work late.”

He is hateful.

He doesn't listen to me.

He doesn't like me.

Muscle test each reason you come up with until the body
responds with a weak muscle, giving you the cue that you
are closer to the original body memory. Let's say that the
correct reason was “because he doesn't listen to me”. Most
likely, this is not the first time in your life you have
experienced anger in a relationship where you feel
ignored.

The idea with finding an original body memory is to find the


first time you felt anger, like the anger you feel with your
boss, for the same or a similar reason.

Ask your body if there was an original time you felt this way
for a similar reason. (Muscle tests weak if there is an earlier
time.) If there is no earlier event, then you are ready to “Fix
it!” and “Forgive it!” with the “boss word picture”. Usually
there is an earlier time.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


36 • Find It!

Ask your body, “Was the earlier time from my conception


to birth?, birth to five?, five to ten?, ten to fifteen?, etc.”
(Muscle will test weak the closer you come to the original
body memory.)

If the body tests weak on “five to ten”, ask “five?”, “six?”,


“seven?”, “eight?”, “nine?”, “ten?” (Tests weak on correct
age number associated with original body memory). Now
you know that you were five the first time you felt anger,
like the anger you feel with your boss, for the same or
similar reason. Since your boss was not around when you
were five, you must deduce who was in your original
picture. Ask if the anger you felt was with a friend (test) or
a family member (test) (muscle will test weak as you get
closer to the original body memory).

Use the EPTworks™ Flow Chart as a tool to deduce who is


involved in the original body memory. Let's say it is your
sister you were angry toward at age five. Now you begin
to recall how your older sister treated you like a baby. You
remember that you felt unimportant and insignificant. You
may even realize that in confrontations with your boss, you
feel like a child. Bravo! You have found “it”, the hidden
body memory; a seemingly insignificant memory that you

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


37 • Find It!

never think about anymore. Even when your boss was able
to touch the emotion of that memory, you still did not
immediately think of “it”.

Muscle testing and deduction allows us to identity what we


are feeling and why, as well as the origin of that emotional
pattern. Once you have identified “it”, describe it in a word
picture and write it down.

“At age five, I felt anger toward my sister because she


treated me insignificantly.”

Before you are ready to “Fix it!”, ask your body, “Are there
any other emotions I feel in that picture?” If muscle is
strong, you can go ahead and “Fix it!” If muscle is weak,
use your chart and identity more emotions and whose
emotions they are. It is possible that you felt your sister's
emotion. Just deduce, identifying which column and then
asking, “Is it lost and vulnerable?” (Weak muscle will identify
additional emotions.) Ask “Is it my feeling lost and
vulnerable or my sister's feeling lost and vulnerable?” (Weak
muscle will identify correct person.)

While you are exploring the original body memory, gather


every negative emotion your body associates with the

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


38 • Find It!

memory and add it to your word picture.

“At age five, I felt my sisters feeling of lost and vulnerable


when I was angry because she treated me
insignificantly.”

You may choose to write more than one statement to


capture the essence of the original body memory. That is
acceptable. Just make sure you write them down.

Having the word picture depicting the original body memory written
down is essential to Fixing It and Forgiving It.

2) FOCUS ON AN UNKNOWN FEELING: You begin EPT by


thinking about a bothersome or uncomfortable feeling.
Ask your body, “Was there an original time that I felt this
same or similar feeling?” (Muscle will test weak to respond
that there was another time you felt this way.) Using muscle
testing and deduction, determine when that original time
was. (Ask, “conception to birth?”, “birth to five?”, “five to
ten?”, etc.) Ask body, “Did I feel this way with a friend or a
family member?” (Muscle will test weak on correct
response.) Use the EPTworks™ Flow Chart to deduce who
was in the picture with you. Sometimes it will be you in the
picture by yourself.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


39 • Find It!

Let's say you have identified age eight and your dad. Now
use the Emotion chart to identity the emotion or emotions
you felt. (Deduce by muscle testing each column and then
emotions within the selected column.) You find that you
felt fear about your dad. You remember that he was in the
hospital at that time and you thought he might die. Bravo!
You found “it”. Now write it in a statement so that you can
“Fix It” and “Forgive It.”

“At age eight I felt fear about my dad because I


thought he may die in the hospital.”

It occurs to you that in the last week your husband had his
annual medical checkup. You realize that your
uncomfortable feeling began after he told you that he had
to go into the hospital for part of the tests. You knew it was
routine. You weren't really concerned about his health and
didn't even notice the onset of the uncomfortable feeling
coinciding with the time he mentioned the hospital tests.
Once you find the original body memory, it all seems so
obvious.

3) FOCUS ON AN EVENT (KNOWN TRAUMA): You begin EPTworks™


by thinking about a known trauma (divorce, rape, incest

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


40 • Find It!

abuse, failure, death, car accident etc.) Ask your body


how you feel about the event. Deduce the emotions using
the EPTworks™ Emotion chart. (Muscle will test weak when
correct column and correct emotion is tested.) It is
common to find three or four significant emotions
associated with a traumatic life event. Use a “fill-in-the-
blank” approach. Write down as many word pictures as
necessary to capture the essence of the trauma.

“I feel (blank) about (who) when I think about the


accident because (blank) .

First you deduce that you feel anger, fear and grief. Fill in
the blank with one emotion at a time and deduce who and
why.

Write down what you find.

“I feel anger about myself when I think about the accident


because it was all my fault.”

“I feel fear about myself when I think about the


accident because I thought I was going to die.”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


41 • Find It!

“I feel grief about the lady I hit when I think about the
accident because she died.”

Fix and forgive each word picture separately.

Next, identify an original event for each word picture. For


example:

“When I was nine I felt my mom’s anger about my little


brothers broken arm because it was my fault he fell.”

“When I was five I felt my mom’s fear about our car


accident because she thought I was going to die.”

“When I was two I felt my mom’s grief about her mom


because she died.”

Fix and forgive each original word picture separately.

4) FOCUS ON PHYSICAL PAIN (back pain headache):

You begin EPTworks™ by thinking about the pain. Ask


your body, “When I think about this pain, I feel (deduce
emotions using chart and muscle response testing).
Let’s say you find that you feel anger and grief when

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


42 • Find It!

you think about this pain. Next, use the EPT Flow Chart
to deduce whose emotion you are feeling. Ask your
body, “Is it my grief?, Is it my anger?” (Muscle will test
weak when you are correct in your assumption.) If it is
your emotion, continue to deduce an original age you
felt that emotion and identify if there was anyone else
in the original picture. Your word picture may look like
this:

“When I was four, I felt anger and grief about my mom


because she punished me for going to the neighbors
house without telling her.”

Your present time trigger for your pain may occur every
time you go to visit and enjoy time with friends. Write down
your word picture, fix it and forgive it.

If any of the emotions belong to another person, then just muscle


test to identify whose feeling it is. (Use the EPTworks™ Flow Chart).

Maybe it was your grief but another person's anger. Ask


your body, “Was it a friend's anger?” “A family member's
anger?” (Muscle test each one. A muscle weakness will
indicate the correct one.) Continue to deduce, asking, “Is
it my current family? My original family?” You will learn to

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


43 • Find It!

find the person placed in your hidden memory very


quickly.

In this example, your word picture becomes:

“When I was four, I felt grief about my mom because


she punished me for going to the neighbors house
without telling her.”

“When I was four, I felt my mom’s anger because she


punished me for going to the neighbors house without
telling her.”

Fix each word picture connected with the original event before you
begin Forgiveness.

Sometimes you will find the original picture contains an


actual accident or physical invasion such as a bike
accident a sprained ankle or a doctor's examination.

5) FOCUS ON A STATEMENT: Begin EPTworks™ by constructing


a statement that you would like to be congruent with. This
is a positive statement that describes how you would like
things to be in your life. For example: “My body is healthy
and full of vitality.” A good source for “ready-made”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


44 • Find It!

statements is a Louise Hay book entitled Heal Your Body.

She has catalogued positive affirmations according to


body symptoms. You just look up “back pain,” for
instance, and she has a positive affirmation that you
should be congruent with to relieve the back pain. Think
about your statement. You may even state it out loud. Test
as you do this.

A weak muscle indicates that you are not congruent with the

statement.

Next ask your body: “I feel (emotion) when my body is healthy


and full of vitality.”

Use the EPTworks™ Emotion Chart to identify the emotion or


emotions that you feel.

Now your statement is: “I feel angry and lost and vulnerable
when my body is healthy and full of vitality because (blank).”

It is helpful at this point to identify an original age that you


felt this.

Ask your body, “Was there an original age that I felt this?”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


45 • Find It!

(Muscle will test weak to indicate there was an original


age.)

Ask your body, “Was it conception to birth?”, “birth to


five?”, “five to ten?”, etc.)

Now your statement looks like this: “When I was three, I felt
angry and alone when my body was healthy and full of
vitality because....”

To figure out the reason, just think about how your life was
at age three. Were your parents together? Did any family
members die? Was anyone you knew sick? Did your family
move? Did you go to day care or stay home? Was a
sibling born?

Muscle test each idea you can think of to find the clue to
finish your statement Ask your body if it had something to
do with the birth of your brother. (A weak muscle indicates
you are right on track.) It may be that your brother was
born when you were three and full of vitality. You may
have been angry and lost and vulnerable because your
parents seemed to give him all the attention. You may
even remember that he happened to have colic and
demanded even more attention.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


46 • Find It!

If you are incongruent with a positive statement, it means that you


have had one or more experiences that lead you to decide that this
positive idea would not be good for you.

You were healthy and full of vitality at age three and no


one noticed. Your baby brother was sick and he got all
the love and attention.

Write your completed statement down once you find it.

“When I was three, I felt angry and alone when my body


was healthy and full of vitality because no one noticed
me.”

Focus on that word picture as you fix it. Finally – forgive it!

C H A P T E R 5 • FIX IT! 1-2-3
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It
is the source of all true art and science.”

ALBERT EINSTEIN

While “finding it” can be mysterious and challenging, fixing


it is really very simple and routine. “Fixing It” refers to
balancing the brain, body and biofield while you are
thinking of the “disturbing picture”. Some pictures may not
appear to be all that disruptive or disturbing to you at a
conscious level. It is through muscle testing to “Find It” that
we discover the thought, which disturbs you at the
subconscious level. The muscle weakness indicates a
reaction by the body to a thought that ‘disturbs’ your
body's energy balance.

It will be very obvious to you that there is a disturbance


with some recovered thoughts and memories while other
thoughts may only be recognized and measured as
disruptive by evidence of a weak muscle. The obvious
physical disturbances would be traumatic memories of
things like a death of a parent, incest, extreme physical
trauma, parents fighting, rape, etc. By obvious, I mean that

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


48 • Fix It! 1-2-3

the minute you pose the thought, you can feel your body
responding to the thought and it is uncomfortable.

Fixing it will minimize or eliminate the uncomfortable feeling.

You will be tapping into your body's energy system and


reprogramming its response program to the body memory
you found through muscle testing and deduction.
Releasing this trapped emotional energy that disrupts your
well-being will expand your freedom to choose how you
wish to feel and open you to experience your divine
connection.

STEP 1 - FEAR RELEASE


(Step 1 takes about 30-60 seconds to complete)

Begin the fear release method by placing the emotional


word picture you identified and wrote down in front of you
so that you can easily read it and focus your mind on it.

To complete the fear release method rub or hold the fear


release points* with your thumb and middle finger as you
mentally or verbally make the following statements: (take a
deep breath after each statement):

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


49 • Fix It! 1-2-3

 I love and accept myself even when I am afraid


to let go of this problem. (Remind yourself of the
problem yourself of the problem by looking at
written word picture. Continue to remind yourself
with each statement.)

 I love and accept myself even when I am afraid


letting go of this problem wouldn't be good for
me.

 I love and accept myself even when I am afraid it


is all my fault.

 I love and accept myself even when I am afraid


this problem will continue.

 I love and accept myself even when I am afraid


that letting go of this problem would be good for
me or someone I love.

* Fear release points are located just below your collar


bone on the right and left EPT of your sternum. They are
about one and a half inches on either side of the center of
the chest.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


50 • Fix It! 1-2-3

STEP 2 - TAPPING POINTS


(Step 2 takes about 30-60 seconds to complete)

Once you have completed the fear release method, you


may complete the tapping points. There are seven
acupuncture points that you will be tapping. Five of the
points are located on the left and right sides of the body.
They are located as follows:

 Point one is located above the center of the


eyebrow on the right and left side of the body.

 Point two is located on the outside of the eye on


the right and left side of the body.

 Point three is located under the middle of the eye


on the right and left side of the body.

 Point four is located under the nose.

 Point five is located under the mouth.

 Point six is located below the first rib close to the


breast bone on the right and left side of the body.

 Point seven is located on the side of the body at


the bra line on the right and left side of the body.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


51 • Fix It! 1-2-3

The tapping is done with both hands alternating right and


left points except for points four and five. Points four and
five tapping is done alternating right and left hands on
point. Tap lightly, (no need to bruise yourself) using index
and middle fingers of each hand.

As you tap the points, focus on the word picture or use a


cue word (like “angry at age seven”) to remind you as you
tap. Tapping through the points one time is usually
sufficient. You may do it more than once if you choose.

STEP 3 - BRAIN BALANCE


(Step 3 takes about 30-60 seconds to complete)

Finally, you will complete the “Fix It” part by doing the brain
balance technique. This technique is designed to balance
the right and left brain hemispheres while simultaneously
supporting the emotional points. Simply focus on your word
picture as you complete the procedure: holding your
fingers together, cover your forehead using your left fingers
over the left side and your right fingers over the right side
and tips of fingers near each other at the center of the
forehead. Prop thumbs on the sides of your head. As you
inhale, squeeze (no need to cause discomfort) the sides of

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


52 • Fix It! 1-2-3

your head with thumbs. As you exhale, relax thumbs. Do


this three times.

For most problems, the three steps listed above will be enough.

Sometimes, you may encounter an unexpected extreme


emotional trauma that is more difficult to release. For those
cases, you will find the following eye exercise extremely
effective. In summary, you will be moving your eyes in
different directions, tapping the back of your hand, and
humming and counting out loud. The entire exercise takes
about 30-60 seconds.

As you move through the eye movements, humming,


counting and humming; you will simultaneously be tapping
the back of one hand with the other hand. Specifically tap
the groove between the pinky and the ring finger. The eye
movements begin with the eyes closed. Open your eyes
looking straight forward. Look down and to the right side.
Then look down and to the left side. Roll your eyes out and
above in a circle two times. Reverse the circle, rolling eyes
back in the opposite direction of previous roll two times.
Look straight forward again. Hum a few bars of happy
birthday. Stop. Count to five out loud. Hum a few bars of
happy birthday again. To complete the eye exercise,

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


53 • Fix It! 1-2-3

combine the continuous tapping on the back of your hand


with the eye movements, humming, counting and
humming. Add this exercise to your most difficult word
pictures.

6 • FORGIVE IT!
“Many of us stubbornly hold on to bitterness, and
resentment about our life and work not because we are bad or
unloving people but because we do not know how to forgive . . . to
forgive is to release trapped energy that could be doing good
work elsewhere.”

ROBERT K. COOPER, Ph.D. & AYMAN SAWAF


Executive EQ; Emotional Intelligence in Leadership & Organizations

Robert Enright, a psychologist working at the University of


Wisconsin-Madison, founded The International Forgiveness
Institute. He has conducted significant research on the
physical and emotional effects of forgiveness
(www.forgiveness-institute.org).

One of the research projects looked into the survival rate


of those who had experienced heart attacks. The survival
rate for those who considered their unresolved angers and
anxieties and worked on forgiveness was three times higher
than those who did not work on forgiveness.

In another study in Baltimore, Maryland, 300 young men who

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


55 • Forgive It!

were criminal offenders serving time, volunteered to


participate in a program to meet their victims face to face
and ask forgiveness. The victims also had to volunteer
willingly for the program. The offenders received no
reductions in their sentences or any other incentives to
participate in the program other than their desire to redeem
their lives. Of the 300 men who came forward seeking
forgiveness and meeting their victims, only one was arrested
a second time after his release.

A 1990 study showed significant correlations between


forgiveness and the following variables: lower levels of
psychological depression, lower levels of anxiety, and higher
levels of self-esteem. (Forgiveness Education with Parentally
Love-deprived Late Adolescents by Radhi H. AI-Mabuk,
Journal of Moral Education Vol. 24, NO.4, 1995)

Research conducted through Virginia Commonwealth


University, Richmond found when adults were asked to think
about someone who wronged them, heart rate and blood
pressure rose and mood worsened for those dwelling on the
hurt-but not for those thinking forgiveness. (Sources:
National Institute for Healthcare Research)

Forgiveness is the heart and soul of EPTworks™.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


56 • Forgive It!

Using the information you find about yourself, you will


expand your ability to forgive in ways you never imagined.
Forgiveness is the tool that will allow you to let go of beliefs
that limit your full expression of love. Forgiveness realigns
you with divine truth and greater freedom.

In forgiving, we go beyond seeking a fair solution and


instead look for a compassionate solution. The basic moral
principle underlying justice is equality. The basic moral
principle underlying forgiveness is love.

There are three aspects of forgiveness.

 I forgive myself.

 I forgive others.

 I give others permission to forgive me.

Most of our forgiving is in connection with that which we


believe to be true. Our beliefs are founded on our
perception of reality. Therefore, we forgive that which we
believed to be true.

Example: “My mother never loved me”

1) I forgive myself for believing my mother never

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


57 • Forgive It!

loved me. (Breathe.)

2) I forgive my mother for doing things that led me


to believe she never loved me. (Breathe.)

3) I give my mother permission to forgive me for


believing she never loved me. (Breathe.)

Example: “I'm worthless.”

1) I forgive myself for believing I'm worthless.


(Breathe.)

2) I forgive every person in my life who said or did


things which led me to believe I'm worthless.
(Breathe)

3) I give permission to every person in my life to


forgive me for believing I'm worthless. (Breathe.)

What you believe creates your reality. When you feel limited
in your reality, it is because you are holding limiting beliefs.
Forgiveness provides a vehicle to transform your limiting
beliefs (those incongruent with divine truth) into limitless
beliefs (those congruent with divine truth).

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


58 • Forgive It!

A limiting belief is a thought or idea you chose to accept as


reality at some point in your life. It was based on your
perception of an event or relationship at that time. It is
limiting because it prevents you from going beyond your
self-imposed reality. You have decided that your belief is
true for you even though you may observe others all
around you for whom your limiting belief does not apply. A
limiting belief only applies to those who choose to believe it
(or have faith in it). What we believe creates our
perception of reality. By transforming your limiting beliefs
into limitless beliefs, you transcend your current reality and
broaden your ability to give and receive love.

FIVE TIPS FOR FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS TIP 1

If a person is angry or upset with someone, the first


forgiveness should be, “I forgive myself for every time I have
treated someone the same way or done the same thing.”
Sometimes you can't see how you are not that different
from the person who has wronged you.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


59 • Forgive It!

I was seated next to a pastoral counselor on a plane. When


she told me what she did, I told her I did emotional healing
with an emphasis on forgiveness. I was eager to talk to her
about her own work with forgiveness. She agreed that it
was the ultimate goal and then proceeded to give me her
marriage history which included a cheating husband of
twenty plus years. She told me the divorce was final five
years before. I asked her if she had forgiven him. She said
she was trying, but it was hard because she had done
everything right in their marriage while he totally betrayed
her without her even knowing until the end.

I said, “So I guess he made some bad choices that really


hurt you?” She nodded in firm agreement. I then said,
“Have you ever made a bad choice that really hurt you . . .
like choosing him for a husband?” Tears immediately filled
her eyes. She thanked me.

FORGIVENESS TIP 2
Our behavior, (good or bad) is always to justify our current
belief system. Ask yourself, “What would I have to believe to
feel this way?”

Example: You feel no one loves you.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


60 • Forgive It!

“I forgive myself for believing I’m unlovable.”

“I forgive myself for choosing behavior that may make it


difficult to love me.”

“I forgive myself for withholding love from others.”

“I forgive myself for believing if my life experience were


different/better then people would love me.”

FORGIVENESS TIP 3

Sometimes people can't believe they can really heal and


move past certain events such as; divorce, child abuse,
unexpected death, rape, etc. In these cases use:

“I forgive myself for believing there are some events you just
never get over.”

“I forgive myself for holding on to a rape that doesn't exist


anymore.”

“I forgive myself for believing letting go of this trauma will


give someone permission to hurt me again.”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


61 • Forgive It!

“I forgive myself for believing / just can't forgive that


person.”

FORGIVENESS TIP 4
Co-dependency is when a person believes that his or her
happiness is dependent on the behavior of someone else.

Examples:

“I forgive myself for believing my mother has to change


before I can feel happiness and security.”

“I forgive myself for believing I require my husband’s


approval to feel happy; confident and secure.”

“I give my husband permission to forgive me for


blaming him for my frustration and unhappiness.”

FORGIVENESS TIP 5

Sometimes it is difficult to forgive because we want to hold


on to an unfulfilled expectation of how we wished it would

be in the movie, What Dreams May Come, hell is depicted


as a place where you “lose your mind”. The lead character,
played by Robin Williams, goes on a mission to retrieve his
wife from “hell”. She is there, having “lost her mind” and
committed suicide on earth because of the losses she could
not accept. In “hell” she is insane with grief. It is Robin's
mission to bring her to her senses. He begins by reminding
her of happy memories in their life. She refuses to listen.
Finally, in desperation, he starts to bring up the sad parts of
their life; appearing as though even the sad parts would be
better than this insanity. With love in his eyes, he tells her,
“Remember the fights we had? We had some really good
fights … ”

The point is, even the most difficult parts of your life have
value to you and from the perspective of “hell” (losing your
mind), you would choose the worst of your life experience
over “losing your mind” any day of the week. When you
refuse to accept the sad, painful or ugly parts of your life
and insist on hanging on to the way you wished it would be,
or thought it should be, you lose your presence of mind and
maintain yourself in your own private hell.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


63 • Forgive It!

Forgiveness is a powerful tool in bringing about a true feeling


of acceptance of the way it was and the way it is. Forgive
yourself for holding on to the “expectation” that was never
fulfilled.

Example:

“I forgive myself for holding on to a relationship that never


existed.”

That relationship that never existed is the perfect one that


you have constructed in your own imagination. Having that
relationship relies on you changing the past or changing
another person. Both of which are not in your control.

“I forgive myself for holding on to the need to change my


wife.”

“I forgive myself for believing my wife needs to change


before I can love her and accept her.”

“I forgive myself for believing I can’t accept it the way it is.”


(Try to make “it” as specific as possible.)

“I forgive myself for believing I can’t accept my relationship


with my father the way it is.”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


64 • Forgive It!

“I forgive myself for believing I can’t accept my marriage the


way it is.”

“I forgive myself for believing I can’t accept my divorce the


way it is.”

Sum it all up with the following idea:

“I forgive myself for letting my expectation of something


that never existed limit my freedom to be happy with my life
the way it is now.”

Finally, give yourself permission to accept/love your life the


way it is.

“I give myself permission to accept/Jove my life the way it


is.”

“I give myself permission to accept/Jove my relationship


with my father the way it is.”

PERMISSION AND CHOICE

Permission and choice statements are wonderful to use


after you have forgiven. They can be like icing on the cake.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


65 • Forgive It!

You have forgiven yourself for the emotions and limiting


beliefs that have prevented you from basking in the
experience of the true love, joy, security and peace that
flows from God through you.

Permission and choice statements are just an affirmation to


yourself that you have access to love and the freedom to love
and feel good about yourself even when life appears imperfect.

You are not alone. God has been with you in the good
times and the bad times. Permission and choice statements
reaffirm and remind you of this truth. Give yourself
permission to feel “good” when “a good thing happens”.
You may have given up this freedom when your mother
abused you as a child. Now, when someone loves you (“a
good thing”) you can only feel fear, anger and betrayal.
With EPTworks™ you identify those original emotions that
came when you thought you were in a safe and loving
situation. You fix it so that your body and biofield feel
different and open to your conscious choice of how you
would like to feel. You use this lens into your subconscious
filing system to forgive those beliefs that are limiting you.
Now you have greater freedom to consciously choose how
you would like to feel.

“I give myself permission to feel loving, forgiving and safe


when I am loved.”

“I choose to feel loving, forgiving and safe loving my mother.”

Now that you have the system in your hands, what is the
practical use of EPTworks™ in your life?

 Any physical pain or problem can be a starting


place. You can minimize or completely eliminate
the physical distress you are experiencing using EPT.

 People in your life that leave you feeling


preoccupied with distress, can be a starting place
to do EPT. You can eliminate the physical “charge”
that takes you over when you must be with them.
You will identify parts of yourself that keep you from
loving and accepting yourself.

 Sometimes you just don't know why you feel

68 • Putting it Together

something that seems to drain you of your energy


and well being. For that unknown feeling, you can
use EPTworks™. You have the tools to understand
yourself more as you practice EPTworks™.

 Extreme trauma may lie in your past and you can


still feel it in your body. EPTworks™ heals that extreme
woundedness so that you can move on.

 Since life is unpredictable, sudden trauma may


happen at any time. A job loss, divorce, car
accident, death, fire, burglary, cancer diagnosis,
etc. EPTworks™provides the tools you can use to
balance your body, calm your mind and accept
knowing you will be able to love again.

 Maybe there is no obvious pain or trauma. You just


look at your life and know that you can never seem
to rise higher than the level of success you currently
have. It feels to you as though there is an invisible
wall holding you back and that no matter how hard
you intend to rise above a certain mark – you remain
in the same position you are in or worse.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


69 • Putting it Together

There is only one person you are ever in competition with


and that is yourself. EPTworks™ is a tool that will help you to
identify why you hold yourself back.

Using statements and muscle response testing, you can identify


what you may believe is causing you to sabotage your own best
efforts.

The fear release technique, tapping points and brain balance will
remove the disruptive body and energy field patterns associated
with your self- sabotage.

Forgiveness will realign your soul's intention with divine truth.

The truth is that abundance is the natural order of the


universe. To the degree that you are feeling a lack of
abundance in any aspect of your life, you are out of
alignment with divine truth. When you realign yourself with
divine truth, your access to that truth expands infinitely.
Love, success, healing and joy are available in abundance
in our universe. Your ability to access that abundance will
be directly related to your alignment with the source of all
abundance and divine truth, God.

FEAR OF SUCCESS

No matter what level of success you may be at, most


people would be mildly, if not wildly, interested in raising
their success level. Arnold Patent, in his book You Can
Have it All, suggests that when you are uncomfortable
with something (could be success) in your life; it is because
you “couldn't stand it any better”. I believe that most
people have more fear about success than fear of failure.
It sounds crazy to say that you would be afraid of a good
thing like success, more money or more love. This is the
very point that Mr. Patent is trying to make. If your life was
better, what may occur that you couldn't bear? This is not
such an easy question to answer, since most of us believe
we would grab the opportunity to instantly have what has
seemed forever out of our reach. EPTworks™ is the perfect
tool to find your hidden belief that limits you from feeling
good taking hold of a new level of success.

I suggest that you start here, with your fear of success, to


practice putting it all together. Don't be afraid, there is

To identify which ideas may belong to you, ask your body if


any of the statements in the list are relevant to your level of
success (muscle will test weak for a yes” response). Next, go
down the list muscle testing each statement to determine if it
represents an element of your own self-sabotage (muscle will
test weak when you find one that is a clue to your hidden
beliefs). Mark the ones you will be working with.

Let’s say that “Successful people are smarter than me”


tested as a clue. Place it in a statement that you can
identify with an emotion.

“I feel ____________ (use EPTworks™ Emotion Chart to find


emotion and whose emotion it is) when I am successful
because successful people are smarter than me.”

Once you have identified the right emotions and if they


belong to you or someone else, find out the original age
where you felt this way.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


74 • Putting it Together

“When I was four, I felt low self-esteem and unworthiness


when I was successful because successful people are
smarter than me” (muscle will test weak when
components of your statement are accurate).

Now find out if there was another person in this picture.


(Use the EPTworks™ Flow Chart) You find out that it is your
older brother. You remember feeling like no matter what
you did he could always do it better. Of course he could.
He was fourteen when you were four. Here is your word
picture,

“When I was four, I felt low self-esteem and unworthiness


when I was successful because my brother was smarter
than me.”

Write down your completed word picture. Allow yourself to


think about and remember how inadequate, stupid and
unworthy you felt when you were four and even in your
whole life because your brother seemed so much smarter
than you. As you view this thought in the words you wrote
down, do the fear release method, stating each of the five
statements, taking a deep breath after each one.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


75 • Putting it Together

Next, do the tapping points as you maintain the thought of


your word picture. You may choose to say a part of the
statement out loud. (Successful people are smarter than
me. Or, my brother will always be smarter than me.)

Now, keeping the thought in your consciousness, do the


brain balance technique. Cover the emotional points on
the forehead with your fingers, use the thumbs to squeeze
the sides of the head together on inhalation. Release the
thumbs on exhalation. Do this procedure three times.

Finally, you will forgive. First forgive yourself for every time
you made another person feel stupid. Now ask yourself
what you would have to believe about yourself or your
brother that isn't true in light of this word picture.
Remember: forgive yourself, forgive your brother, give your
brother permission to forgive you.

“I forgive myself for believing that I am not as smart as my


brother.”

“I forgive myself for believing I can’t be smart or successful


without feeling unworthy or low self-esteem.”

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


76 • Putting it Together

“I forgive myself for blaming my brother for my unworthiness


and low self-esteem.”

“I forgive myself for letting unworthiness and low self-esteem


hold me back from my potential.”

“I forgive myself for holding on to unworthiness and low self-


esteem that doesn’t exist.”

“I forgive my brother for being older than me.”

“I forgive my brother for being born first.”

“I forgive my brother for being smart and successful.”

“I give my brother permission to forgive me for blaming him


for my unworthiness and low self-esteem.”

“I give my brother permission to forgive me for using his


success as my excuse to fail or fail to try.”

“I give my brother permission to forgive me for using his


success as my excuse to fail to love and accept myself.”

“I give myself permission to feel worthy and confident being


smart and successful.”

Okay, ready to try the same exercise with regard to money?


Write down all your thoughts and beliefs about money. Just
add to the following list.

 Money destroys families.

 Money can improve your health.

 Having money makes people envy me.

 Having money makes people love and accept


me.

 Having money deletes my responsibility.

 Having money increases my responsibility.

 Money makes me guilty.

 To have money, I must be stingy.

 Money saves lives.

 Money is only important when you don't have it.

 Money ruins your life.

 Money will force me to change.

 Money is evil.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


78 • Putting it Together

 Having money will make me less spiritual.

 Money is fun.

 Money is power.

 Money can save a marriage.

 Money brings happiness.

Add your own ideas:

To identify which ideas may belong to you, ask your body if


any of the statements in the list are relevant to your cash
flow (muscle will test weak for a yes.”

Now go down the list muscle testing each statement to find


the ones that are relevant to your self-sabotage with
regard to money (muscle will test weak when you find one
that is a clue to your hidden beliefs) Mark the ones that test
weak so that you can use them doing EPTworks™.

Let's use “Money is only important when you don't have it.”
Write the parts of your statement you have.

“I feel __________ about money because money is only


important when you don't have it...” (Use EPTworks™ Emotion
Chart to find emotion and whose emotion it is.)

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


79 • Putting it Together

Using the emotion chart I deduce that I feel someone else's


anger. Using the EPT Flow Chart I deduce it is my father's
anger that I feel. Next ask your body if there was an original
time you felt this for a same or similar reason. (Muscle will
test weak for “yes”.)

Deduce the original age by asking your body, “Was it


conception to birth?”, “birth to five?”, “five to ten?”, etc.)
Now your word picture is:

“When I was seven, I felt my father’s anger about money


because money is only important when you don't have it.”

Think about what may have been going on in your life at


that time. You may remember that your family never had
much money and that your father was always angry about
not having money. He may have believed that he could
only want money if he didn't have enough. Because he
made money important by wanting it he didn't have any.
He may even have said things to imply that people who
have money place too much importance on money. In
order to not be like “those” people, he had to be without
money before he could openly place importance on it so
that no one would suspect him of making money the most
important thing in his life. He may have believed that it is

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


80 • Putting it Together

bad to want money if you have an abundance of it. So


then you find yourself wanting money and to maintain your
father's love you must also need money at the same time.

Okay, you have the word picture, so you go ahead and fix
it. First do the Fear Release Method. Next do the Tapping
Points. Finish with the Brain Balance Technique. Remember
to breathe. Can you see how this belief might manifest in
your life?

You may find that no matter how much more money you
make, you must always create greater debt so that you
can maintain a need to justify your desire for money.

This is a common problem to many folks. EPT can be


wonderful in helping to heal your relationship with money.

I hope the forgiveness statements are healing for you


personally, if you find this example comes close to your
heart.

“I forgive myself for believing money is only important when


you need it.”

ADDITIONAL TIPS TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE
“I learned this at least... that if one advances confidently in the
direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common
hour”

HENRY DAVID THOREAU


WALDEN

By now, most people are aware of lifestyle changes that would


improve their life. Unfortunately, breaking old habits and forming
new ones isn’t always that easy. As you do EPT, you will find that
doing the right thing for yourself will become more natural and
come without much effort. As you begin looking for the right thing
to do yourself, remember to stick with the basics; diet, exercise and
medication.

DIET

Your body needs good fuel. Remember what your grandma said,
“Eat your vegetables!” Rather than counting calories, fats,

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


90 • Additional Tips

carbohydrates or protein; I suggest that you start counting green


vegetables. Ideally, you should eat five to nine servings of green
vegetables each day. Green vegetables fulfill your body’s desire
for nutrition so that you naturally eat more wholesome foods and
lose your desire for food that is bankrupt of nutritional value. Green
vegetables help “clean the machine” and help maintain blood
sugar balance.

I know what you are thinking, “How am I going to eat five servings
of green vegetables per day?” I thought the same thing.
Fortunately, there are many good vegetable products on the
market. Some even taste good. These products come in capsule
form and powder form. Most of them have labels detailing how
much of their product is equivalent to x-number servings of organic
vegetables.

If you choose to go this route, don’t settle for any product that does
not claim to be organically grown. Pound for pound, organically
grown produce has more nutritional value than food grown by
other standards. These products are great to start your day with
and they also make a great snack for your body in the afternoon.

I still suggest that you actually eat two or three green veggies with
your meals. Even eating non-organically grown is better than what
you may be eating now, since most of you do not eat vegetables

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


91 • Additional Tips

on a daily basis. Learn to shop for broccoli, brussel sprouts, green


beans, spinach, kale, romaine, green onions, zucchini and sprouts.
Steam them and toss them in olive oil and seasonings. Chop them
up for a raw salad. First, you have to start buying them and bringing
them home. Soon, you will wonder why you didn’t start eating
more vegetables sooner.

Another dietary essential you should add is essential fatty acids.


Fats and oils are probably the most misunderstood and abused
foods that are eaten. Next to water, fat comprises a large
percentage of our body’s composition. Our modern day diet has
focused way too much on the “bad” fats known as trans-fatty
acids. Those are the fats found in deep fried foods, French fries,
chips, donuts, roasted nuts, fried chicken, etc. Our cells contain
20% to 80% phospholipids. The red blood cells contain 45%
phospholipids and 55% protein in their membranes, whereas nerve
cell membranes contain 80% phospholipids and only 20% proteins.
The “good” fats help in growth and all functions and fat-burning in
weight loss. Your brain function and development are dependent
upon the essential fatty acids. To learn more about fats and your
diet, I suggest you read Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill: The Complete
Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health by Udo Erasmus.

It is easy to add good fat to your diet. Flax oil, borage oil, sesame

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


92 • Additional Tips

seed oil and sunflower seed oil are my favorites. You can buy these
in capsule form or liquid at any health food store. Take a minimum
of two tablespoons per day or the equivalent in capsule form.

Protein is another essential for your body. Having adequate protein


will decrease your appetite and assist in maintaining blood sugar
balance. Protein is your body’s resource for amino acids that are
crucial for cellular growth, body repair and maintenance. The RDA
of protein for a (175 lb) adult male is about 63 grams. Women (140
lbs) need about 50 grams. Pregnant nursing women require about
30% more. Children need as much as adults and a rapidly growing
child can require 2 to 3 times more protein than an adult. Meat is
the most obvious source of protein. Eggs, dairy, soy, legumes, and
raw nuts are also significant sources. If you don’t eat essential
amounts of protein or you simply have challenges digesting protein,
consider a liquid protein supplement (usually made from beef
collagen) or a soy powder shake mix.

Finally, choose to make a conscious effort to drink clean water.


One way to do this is to simply replace every other drink with water.
Choose to drink water only. Creating this habit can be challenging
if you are used to drinking caffeinated or sweetened drinks. Give
yourself permission to drink your favorite drink after you have
finished your water. Chances are, you won’t be able to drink it.

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


93 • Additional Tips

Don’t stress yourself out trying to drink a certain amount of water,


just make sure you drink some through the day. As you grow, you
will desire water naturally more than other drinks.

When you feed your body with food rich in essential nutrition;
craving and desire for unwholesome foods diminishes. Don’t focus
on elimination of poor food choices. Focus on loving and feeding
your body the essential fuel it runs on: green vegetables, essential
fatty acids, adequate protein and clean water. Keep it simple. As
you do EPT, your ability to feel good about good food choices will
increase. Letting go of choices that are abusive to your body will
be easy as you increasingly make choices to love.

EXERCISE

Our society has become sedentary. Activity and exercise is


essential to life and vitality. Choose to put exercise in your
schedule. To derive from most exercise routines, you must devote
at least twenty minutes three times per week to the activity.
Optimally, the activity would be done every day. Find an activity
that you enjoy and make it convenient to participate in.

Several years ago, I discovered a “shortcut” to the typical twenty


minute exercise routine. It is an exercise routine called, The Five

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


94 • Additional Tips

Rites. This exercise protocol is described in a short book entitled The


Ancient Secret to the Fountain of Youth by Peter Kelder. Essentially,
there are five simple exercises. You are instructed to do only as
many as you can comfortably do. I was attracted to this book
because I just did not enjoy traditional exercise. I found the five rites
to be easy to do and they didn’t take very much time (seven to
eight minutes usually). I was amazed to notice the same benefits I
reaped doing more rigorous workouts within just a few days –
benefits such as more energy, greater mental clarity, and a happier
outlook.

If you have trouble finding time in your schedule for exercise, or, if
you just don’t like to do it, I highly recommend The Five Rites. It can
be an easy starting place with great benefits to your mind and
body.

MEDITATION

Just the word meditation stirs up varied opinions and ideas. When I
speak of meditation, I am referring to being quiet and still with only
the presence of God. This is not prayer that comes with an agenda.
This is prayer that calls for God’s presence so that you may
reconnect to that source and know that He is. There is a human
need to connect to God’s spirit. It is a tangible longing for more. It

EPTWORKS™ Self-Help Guide


95 • Additional Tips

is evident in the dissatisfaction that creeps in after all our material


needs have been met and we wonder what is missing. True
satisfaction can only be enjoyed when you know and nurture your
connection to God. Meditation with an intent to be still and know
the presence of God, will bring satisfaction and contentedness into
your life experience as you seek to fulfill your most basic human
need.

Meditation can be done for twenty minutes, once or twice per day.
The goal is to focus on one thought. As other thoughts come to
your attention, gently push them aside and return to your one
thought. Some suggestions for meditative thoughts are: “Jesus is
Lord,” “Love,” “Calm,” “Relax,” “The Lord is my Shepherd.” You can
find CD’s with repetitive phrases that are perfect to help you to
maintain a single thought for twenty minutes. The one I use is by
Kurt Van Sickle entitled Make Me An Instrument. Dr. Herbert Benson
authored an entire book on this type of meditation called, The
Relaxation Response. He also describes it in his book, Timeless
Healing. Research conducted at the Mind/Body Medical Institute
at Harvard Medical School using the relaxation response meditation
method found it to be beneficial for various health problems.

Taking care of your self is a choice to love. EPTworks™ will help you

attention to play a game with her. Her mother was busy working to
fulfill her household agenda for the day and didn’t really feel as
though she had time to “play” with her daughter. Even when she
told her daughter no, the young girl persisted. Finally, the mother
picked up a magazine. She tore out a page that had a picture of
the world on it. Next, she tore that page into fifty pieces. She
handed it to her daughter and said, “This is a puzzle of the world.
When you put it together, come and get me and I’ll play a game
with you.” She figured her daughter would either give up on the
puzzle or take a very long time to put it together. In less than ten

“Mommy, I put the puzzle together. Can we play now?” Her
mother could hardly believe her child could have done it so fast.
She went into the playroom and on the floor was the puzzle of the
world perfectly put together. She asked her daughter, “How did
you do that so fast? Her daughter replied, “Well, on the back of the
picture of the world was a picture of a person and I knew if I could
put the person together, well, the world would take care of itself.”

When your world becomes a puzzle, you can now use EPTworks™ to
put your person back together and let your world take care of itself!

EPT has already produced invaluable results in every area of my life
and miraculous results in everybody that I have helped.”


Linda S., R.N. - “Thank you for sharing so much during our BPT/
EPTworks™ workshop – these are modalities that will open a world
of healing to me and everyone I touch.”


Sherry Hamilton, Certified EPTworks™ Instructor

“I have deep gratitude for Gayle for bringing me to work with


Lyrica using EPTworks™. I’m so happy with the work and the results.
This experience has deepened my own appreciation for
EPTworks™, its power, and the universal truths we are all connected
through.

“About 3 months ago, Gayle was referred to me for her possible


interest in EPTworks™. Gayle came for EPT and loved it. She
wanted to use EPTworks™ with her 25 year old autistic daughter,

Lyrica, and with Lyrica’s roommate, 18 year old, Leslie. We planned


a two day trip to work with Lyrica and Leslie. Lyrica and Leslie knew
I was coming and had both agreed to EPTworks™, and used words
like, “bring me great freedom” about EPTworks™ before I even
arrived to work with them.

I have only had two or three encounters with autistic people in my


lifetime. I only knew what Gayle had told me in our briefly planned
trip. I arrived in Lyrica’s home on Friday morning, and hugged
Lyrica carefully, not knowing how she would react to me being a
stranger in her bedroom. We spent a few minutes just getting
acquainted. Lyrica was busy with her Mom. I watched in
fascination as Gayle and Lyrica communicated in a very peaceful,
loving way. Lyrica can only say a few single words with her voice.
Gayle was holding a board with a typewriter keyboard printed on it,
and she was gently supporting Lyrica’s arm while Lyrica pecked her
finger onto letters of the keyboard. Gayle would speak the letters
so she could keep track of the words that Lyrica was typing to her.
Soon, a complete thought was pecked out and Lyrica would wait
for some response. She and Gayle conducted a complete
conversation with one another when Lyrica pecked out that she
was ready for “therapy.”

“We began EPTworks™ with the emotions that Lyrica told us

bothered her and gave her fear. I used Gayle’s arm for the muscle
response testing. Gayle would hold the correct magnet over
Lyrica’s organ, while I held Lyrica’s head and we all breathed for
the technique. Most of the time Lyrica was O.K. with this,
sometimes, she would stand, or go into her bathroom, but most of
the time she sat on the floor patiently. She responded extremely
well to the “fear release,” and would breathe sighs of relief. She
would also confirm through her typing that fears were gone, or
voices in her head were gone that once terrified her. She would
often grunt approval or shake her head “yes” or “no.” She would
take my hands into hers and clap or pat me.

Working with Lyrica was so nice in the sense that she is 100% honest
without any hidden agendas. She moved rapidly through the
seven stages of healing on each issue we worked with. If I seemed
to get stuck on a specific issue, I would ask Lyrica. Lyrica would
then type out the specific idea that needed to be cleared for her
physiology to relax and come into congruency with her true self.

Friday evening at dinner, Lyrica did not eat a large amount. She is
apt to eat large amounts. In some typing that I have read of
Lyrica’s , she states that she “eats to fill her fear.” I saw her lessened
appetite as a good sign that she was not having to fill any fear on
this night.

Lyrica was patient with me, and supportive in her typing out letters,
words and ideas to me that kept me on task with the healing work
we were doing. Lyrica was way ahead of me in where she needed
to go and how to get there. I let her guide me. I liked her word
“molt.” She used that word in the same sense that a butterfly molts
from a caterpillar to a winged creature.

To be in the presence of Gayle and Lyrica was for me being in a


present-day story of “The Miracle Worker.” The teacher, Annie
Sullivan, was able to tap into the soul of Helen Keller, communicate
with Helen and have a lifelong friend. Gayle has been able to tap
into Lyrica’s soul and communicate with her. They are truly friends.
Through all of this communication, Lyrica has come to a place of
calmness. According to Gayle, life has not always been so calm
with Lyrica. I honor Gayle for being able to relate to Lyrica in her
world and Lyrica for “molting” to relate to Gayle and others in our
world. Even with all this communication and understanding, there
are still daily needs that Lyrica must have taken care of for her like:
fixing food, toileting, bathing, dressing, tactile stimulation, safety,
and companionship. Even though Lyrica must have others tend to
her body’s needs, she has a butterfly inside mind.
