Modern energy techniques look at the cause of anxiety differently

It has commonly been felt that the cause of anxiety can be a

combination of learned behavior, genetic predisposition and a

chemical imbalance in the brain. Either one of the above or a

combination of any of them.

Patting energy techniques look at it from a completely

different angle because it is believed that when a person

suffers from anxiety one or more of their energy meridians is

blocked or partially blocked which does not allow the energy to

flow through properly. This is the basis of patting on the

acupuncture energy meridian points and most people would agree

that it works spectacularly.

Dr. Callihan discovered it in the 1980's

who had intense anxiety about water. She had had it most of her

life and she had been seeing him for many months about it. She

had also been to other therapists before going to Dr. Callihan

for the same problem. Dr. Callihan had been studying some

earlier work on energy meridians and percussive patting on the

particular points so when she said she had a stomach sensation

while thinking about water he asked her to pat on the stomach

meridian which was on her face. She patted the point a few times

and then declared that she was cured. This remarkable discovery

about the cause of anxiety led Dr. Callihan to study energy

meridians and anxiety more.

Dr. Callihan's later research showed that the cause of anxiety

must be a blockage in the energy meridian that causes anxiety

and that it is unblocked when patted if the patient is thinking

of the problem at the time.

mind will not stop spinning.

One of the best anxiety relief processes is to continually pat

on each of the meridians while you repeat every negative thought

that is going through your mind. It may take one minute or up to

ten minutes, but at least it will clear your mind sufficiently

for you to calm down. You can review this process at Continuous

patting but before you go there do not be put off by the references

or feeling you have.

Right brain dominated people are more affected by anxiety

more from anxiety than left brain dominated people. A quick

search in your browser will usually give you plenty of

information on each type or you can go to Left/Right brain

comparison. Right brained people are more dreamy, they

love imagination, they are more emotional, find it difficult to

remember information, learn through picturing the whole

situation and find it difficult to remember individual

facts. They tend to have many thoughts moving around in their

mind that cause anxiety and often have difficulty completing

tasks because of that.

Left brain dominated people are very verbal, speak in terms of

facts and correct information, they are usually focused on tasks

and can complete them easily. Their minds are not affected much

by many thoughts spinning around and they can remember

individual facts quite easily and rarely look at things

holistically. The right brain is always thinking of something

other than the subject at hand and becomes more easily confused.
