Simplified version of CLEAR®
1. Write down blocking beliefs (see definition below) you think may
be impacting the issue. For example, if you are doing it about
stress, the beliefs might be, “I am not safe in this economy. I am
afraid I’ll lose my job. I have to work really hard to be safe. I
don’t know what to do to keep my money safe.” Clear those beliefs by
rubbing the sore spots while saying, “Even though I (say blocking
beliefs here), I love and accept myself, honor and respect myself, I
forgive myself for these things and I forgive anyone who impacted me
in thinking these things, and I am present in my body.”
NOTE: Definition of blocking beliefs:
Blocking beliefs are thoughts that prevent you from moving into
a state of being that you want. Your belief system defines your
reality. Your thoughts come from your beliefs. And they
determine the actions you take, how you behave, and what occurs
in your system. Beliefs often result from trauma. For example if
you have been mugged, you may have a belief that you are not
safe. Blocking beliefs are cleared using the “sore points” (see
“acupressure point chart”).
2. Think about the situation (i.e., your feeling of stress, or
thoughts that you can’t be successful). Bring up any feelings you
have and check-in regarding how your body feels (e.g., are you tense
anywhere, do you have butterflies, feel nauseated, have pain
anywhere?). Cross your arms over one another and while continuing to
think about the feelings/situation alternately tap on your biceps
with your hands—right, left, right left, continuing until you feel
done (see picture below). If crossing one arm over the other doesn’t
feel comfortable or is too constricting, rest your left hand on your
left leg and your right hand on your right leg and alternately tap
on your thighs, tap right, tap left, tap right, tap left, until you
feel done.
3. Go to the inner eye point and put your attention again on the
issue. See what comes up, and put your attention on whatever
thoughts, feelings or physical sensations arise. Stay with the
thought, feeling, or sensation until you feel a shift. When you feel
done with this point, go on to the next point.
4. Repeat step 3 for the under eye, outer eye, nose, chin, collar
bone, rib, and underarm points.
5. If you still feel emotional about the issue after going through
the points in step 4, finish the rest of the points and do step 3 on
each of the following: the thumb, index finger, middle finger,
little finger, side of hand and gamut point.
6. As a final step, go back to the inner eye point,
and do the “healed version” of the issue. Put your attention on what
it feels like to be relaxed and calm while thinking of the original
problem. It may help to envision interacting with others, and
feeling calm while in the presence of something that in the past
might have caused stress.
NOTE: While you are doing the
points, if thoughts occur that sound like blocking beliefs, clear
those after each point using the sore points and the statement in
step one.
