Focusing is much more that emotions

Yes, I agree that in many cases tapping can be un-necessary.

 

So many things work when a skilled practitioner is at the helm.

Yes.

Yes.

 

Framing the 'emotion' in either it's submodalities, or in it's physiology and

the submodalities of that physiology; IE, location, depth, size, etc, will cause

it to evaporate.

Okay.

 

And when they label their story with their feelings and their locations with

their intensity (SUDS or SUE) they are associating into that old morph field.

Not sure where you are going here.

 

An older technique I've used (and still do use) is to have them do that and from

that attention to use open-focus attention. That open-focus causes the emotion

to 'evaporate'.

 

Also noticing the location, and how the energy travels in the body is very

important.

They normally have different locations in the body. So noticing where they

travel to will also give a different name to the sensation.

 

Also, using where the location outside of the body is, and how it penetrates the

body is very important.

 

Sometimes (many times) just accessing that auric field location and using a

location belief-change drill to a better part of their auric storage facilities

will cause the old emotion to transmute and become anchored to a positive

solution that is already inside of them.

 

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing or not.

What do you mean by 'dismiss the associated thoughts'?

 

To relax the mind and spread the internal vision?

 

To hold the neurovasculars so that the brain stops being scrambled (activation

of the primitive brain vs the thinking brain)?

Curious.

 

I have a different 'read' on what she said.

 

I thought they still have the thoughts but NO LONGER are the negative emotions

still anchored to those pictures, sounds, smells, tastes, or tactics and

proprioceptive.

 

The visceral is erased, but the rest of the memories are there.

 

They still see it. Hear it. Etc, but don't feel bad about it. It's as if they

are watching someone else, hearing someone else's story.

 

About 4 years ago I put together something I call the Inner Demon Destroyer

that uses certain methods of brain blood stimulation (and also reverses

'scrambled energies' with Eden Energy Tapping that literally blows all SUDS down

to zero with one sandwich.

 

but the memory is still there.

 

Now the memory can be erased by changing and replacing submodalities (like with

a SWISH), but I feel that is not wise for growing past those memories).

etc.

 

It's a dissociation technique. To notice the location of the physical sensation,

the shape, the size is all dissociation.

 

Is that enough?

Noticing locations, being fully conscious of the sensation is much different

than paying attention to the emotion. Again it is a dissociation.

Fred, I've no clue what you mean here.

Last college Physics class I had was 1962. Which physics principle are you

referencing?

 

> The emotions are energy in your body.

 

Yes, emotions can be defined that way.

 

Anyone else want to jump in on this conversation, feel free to do so.
