People with a history of severe trauma, panic, or mental illness are advised not to use this process unless they do it under the supervision of a trained energy therapist. The Circuit Breaker utilizes a palm hold and head and heart tapping sequence with roots in kineasiology. The breathing here come from Kriya Yoga.

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER (1) Do circular breathing during the entire duration of the Circuit Breaker. This form of breathing connects the inahale with the exhale at a moderate speed and in comfortable fashion. The inhale is full and deep while the exhale is relaxed with no control at all. If the inhale comes via the nose then the exhale should only exit the nose. If the inhale comes via the mouth, then the exhale must go out via the mouth. No switching. Don't stop at the top of the breath or at the bottom. (Maybe a split second stop). Breathing is one continuous loop. In/out. In/out. Comfortable.

(2) TUNE IN WHILE DOING TOUCH & HOLD ON THIRD EYE POINT AND NOTCH BENEATH NOSE. Fully experience your problem (Belief, Feeling, or physical sensation) with all 5 of your senses. Feel, Hear, See, smell, and taste your scene which helps to evoke your problem. Allow this problem to evoke as strong a feeling as possible. As you are tuning in here, take your palm of one hand and gently lay the center of it over your third eye point. The third eye point is one half inch above the center of an invisible line between your eyebrows. While you are touching your third eye point with your palm, use your other hand and firmly press the two fingers next to your thumb into the notch right below your nose and above your lip. Hold this position for about two minutes while you view and experience your problem. This will clear any neurological disorganization. Remember: When you are viewing and experiencing a problem, you allow it to be there--in fact you take a welcoming attitude toward it. There is no intention of getting rid of it or keeping it.

(3) HEAD TAP & HEART HOLD. Take one hand and spread out all of your fingers. Center your hand so it's center is just above the center of the top of your head. Gently tap the top of your head so your palm and fingers encompass both hemispheres of your head. Tap 12 times while you fully experience and view your problem (Belief, feeling, or physical sensation). When you have completed the twelth tap then place your hand over your heart beat region for several moments while you continue to view and experience your problem. Do not be alarmed if your problem suddenly and spontaneously clears at this point. Keep this clearing process up until you gain a shift to an opposite feeling about your problem.

(4) ASSUME THE CIRCUIT BREAKER POSE. Take the palm side of your hand and lay it comfortably over your forhead and eyes. The karate chop side of the hand should be touching the bridge of your nose while your palm and little finger cover your eyebrows. The upper part of your palm should be making contact with your third eye point. Your finger tips should be pointing toward your ear or the side of your head. Don't press hard, just make a comfortable contact. This area is a major confluence of all the meridians flowing into the head. Your eyes should almost be covered by the lower part of your hand. With the upper part of your hand gently and slightly pull your scalp in opposing directions toward the sides of your head. Just slightly. This will activate your neurovascular points and shut down your flight/fight response. While you continue to fully view and experience what is left of your problem (Belief, feeling, or physical sensation), take your remaining hand and place it on the lower rear of your head. Your palm will gently contact the occipital ridge (That slightly boney buldge like a ski mogul). Your finger tips will be pointing toward your ears.

ADD ON MINI PROCESSES-
UTILIZE TWO OF THE FOLLOWING EXPERIENCE CHANGERS. While you continue to fully experience what remains of your problem (Belief, feeling, or physical sensation), utilize at least two of the following experience changers:

(a) THE ROLLBACK/ROLL FORWARD: Ask your problem what good thing it does for you. Give your problem time to respond. When you get a positive response, say it aloud. Keep asking your problem what could be better. After each positive response, keep asking the same question over and over. Allow your problem to respond with one or two word descriptions. Keep asking what could be better until you hit a dead end. Generally this dead end will be the opposite of the problem you started out with. It will be something like wholeness, serentity, power, love, or something with a strong spiritual connection. Allow yourself to fully experience your essence here for a few moments. Then take your original problem and feel it in the midst of this essense. Allow it to be there and pay full attention to it as it begins to turn back into energy. When this is completed, ask this question of your essence: Since my problem turned back into formless energy, what positive experience will I have in its place? Give your essence time to answer and fully experience whatever answer it provides. Pay attention to it until it vanishes into the essence. If you have a feeling of completion here, then stop.

(b) Name your problem: "energy" and fully experience it with no intention of getting rid of it or keeping it. After you've observed what happens, gently peel back the label and experience what occurs. If another label pops up, allow your unconscious to peel it away. Do this process until no more labels exist. Continue to experience what is going on until you begin to notice your problem has transformed into its opposite.

(c) Do nothing, just view and fully experience what remains of your original problem (belief, feeling, or physical sensation). Allow it to be there with no intention of getting rid of it or keeping it.

(d) Pay attention to the space around your problem (Belief, feeling, or physical sensation) Shift your attention back and forth between your problem's form and the space surround it.

(e) Ask your problem the following question: After I look back from 3 years from now, how will you appear transformed? How will you feel differently? How will you appear differently to me? Experience your answer and pay full attention to it.

(f) Notice the separation between my sense of being/self and my problem's energy form. Allow yourself to notice this subtle difference. Shift your attention back and forth between being/self and your problem's energy form. Then pay gentle,but full attention to what remains of the problem.

(g) After about 8 minutes tops, repeat the entire Circuit Breaker process until all emotional charge is cleared and you notice a shift in your awareness to a feeling opposite of your original target.
