Are you going to the Arizona School Counselors Conference in March '12
I will be one of the speakers. My topic, of course, will be about Test Anxiety. Please come in order to practice this protocol.
The Tests Are Coming, The Tests Are Coming!!!
If you have not yet begun to use the Morning Protocol in your classroom, please begin now. It is on page 2 of this website. The Test Anxiety Protocol is also on page 2. They are very simple. You can do it! A friend of mine emailed me saying that she was a long term sub and would like some help for testing, due to the intensity that the kiddos were feeling. I sent her these two protocols with only a little intruction. She 'took it and ran with it'. A few weeks later she reported back to me, saying that they made all of the difference.
If you are interested in getting tapping (EFT) into your schools, contact me at eft_monicabjohnson@Q.com for information.

Tapping Points
Begin with the karate chop point which is on the side of the hand. While tapping on the karate chop point, say the 'Even though' statements from above. Then begin at the eyebrow(EB) point and tap about seven (7) times while repeating what is said. Move to side of eye (SE) and repeat, under eye(UE), repeat, under nose(UN), repeat, chin(CH), repeat, collarbone(CB), repeat, under arm(UA), repeat, rib(R), repeat and then to the top of the head(TH). This does not have to go in a precise order, once you know the acupoints.
Emotional Freedom Technique is an energy based therapy that has an extremely high success rate. It is simple to use, and can be learned by children and adults alike. It is based on the meridian points of the body. However, it has been simplified in order to allow people the empowerment of caring for themselves, once learned.
Here is an example of a procedure that you may use when upset.
1. Decide how upset you are by paying attention to your body; heart, stomach, tight shoulders, etc. Using a range from 0 to 10, with 0 being the least and 10 being the greatest, mentally decide how intense you are presently.
2. Begin tapping on the side of either hand on the fatty side between your wrist and your pinky finger (karate chop point). While tapping say something like, Even though I am so (Feeling Word), I accept myself. Repeat 3 or 4 times.
3. After you specifically state your negative upset feelings in as many creative ways as possible, then go to the meridian points on the previous chart. While tapping about 7 times on each meridian point, say a quick reminder statement, such as I felt helpless, dumb, shocked, etc. Repeat until you begin to feel calmer. Keep repeating until your intensity level is 0 or close. Follow up with a round or two of positive or forgiving statements.
