Well I’m not sure. I’ve never tried doing it that way. What I do do is I hold my NVs and make sure I’m a calm state before I start the IDD. This is usually enough to keep the TW from kicking in.

If that isn’t enough and I start freaking out...I’ll stop for a second. Hold NVs and calm myself down. Then continue with IDD.

Another option is to physically hold your NVs. Then go into hakalau or to level and use the IDD psychically. That works real well too.

I’m not that familiar with Energy Psychology. By “tapping in the reminder phrase” do you mean the Cranial Tap? Or is it a totally different technique.

As for finding all the aspects of a problem, I’ve found that getting out a piece of paper and pen and writing out the issue and all the related issues you can think of helps tremendously. The act of writing it out forces you to organize your thoughts and feelings and lets you look at them with more objectivity. Usually after 10-15 minutes I can narrow down the problem to the core issues and tap them out.

I’ve also found that the act of using the IDD itself will reveal any related or deeper issues. What I mean is that sometimes about half way through the sequence I’ll suddenly have a realization that the issue I’m tapping out isn’t the main issue. Or that the issue I’m tapping out is gone and there is another that is holding me back that I never noticed before.

Sometimes this happens during the process. Sometimes afterwards. If there’s a lingering feeling of “something else” still missing after using the IDD, I ask “If I knew what else I need to tap out, what would it be?”

These are the things I’ve found worked for me. Go do the drill, play...and find out for yourself.

Have fun,

Mike

This is something that I asked Doc in one of my 1-on-1s with him last

November (embarrassingly I only just finished transcribing the 2nd

one last week).

Doc said that if you are doing the IDD process alone you should start

by using both hands to hold the forehead NV points until they are in

balance (whilst thinking about the issue you're working on of course)

- this would usually take from 2 to 5 minutes. You would then proceed

to rubbing the sore point, as normal.

When you tap the points on the head you can keep one hand holding

both NVs and tap the points on both sides of the face simultaneously

with your other hand. Obviously you'll need both hands once you start

tapping the K27s and other other points on your body, but it

shouldn't be necessary to hold the NVs at that point anyway.

I produced a mindmap for this process which I've just sent to Doc.

When I first bought the IDD DVDs I was a little annoyed that there

wasn't a chart included for me to follow, but in retrospect I should

have been studying and mapping it out myself. Only took me 15 months!

Now I just have to start using it.

PS. Just spotted my bad language when talking about using the IDD -

ie. 'have to start'. My first alternatives phrases were 'must start'

or 'need to start', neither of which is particularly motivating!

Better to say, 'now I'm excited at how easy it will be to change

negative patterns and start bringing wonderful things into my life'.

Amazing the way we can self-sabotage ourselves sometimes.
