Welcome to this guided session on using the nine gamut procedure for anxiety relief.
Now,
This technique can be incredibly effective,
Especially if your anxiety has roots in past experiences or trauma,
Okay?
Now,
This procedure works by engaging both your mind and your body.
It's gonna help interrupt that cycle of anxiety and allows you to process feelings and even memories differently.
Now,
We're gonna be using eye movements and humming,
To begin with but just follow what I do and say if your eyes begin to feel strange at all just adjust your movements to your comfort okay so if your eyes feel strange at all just make the movements slightly smaller or less defined all right so let's begin we're going to do a really quick check in so on a scale of one to ten how anxious are you feeling right now ten being extremely anxious zero being not anxious at all remember there's no right or wrong wrong way to do this just allow yourself to be present to the process okay so we're going to start with a round of normal tapping repeating after me and your mind are out loud even though i feel anxiety I'm open to feeling calm.
Side of the eye i acknowledge the tension in my body Under the eye this anxiety feels heavy.
Under the nose,
I recognise these feelings are part of my experience.
And I'm doing okay.
Chin point,
It's okay to feel this way.
Collarbone point,
I allow myself to breathe and be present.
Under the arm I choose to release this tension.
Top of the head.
I'm safe and I can let this go.
Now you're going to tap on the gamut point,
Which is this fleshy area just down from your little finger in between your ring finger.
Your pinky finger a nice flush area there you can tap with three of your fingers there Now you can rest your hand on your lap or on your shoulder.
Wherever you feel comfortable resting your hand.
OK,
We're going to do some actions as you tap here.
I'm going to keep mine here so you can see it.
Keep tapping softly,
So close your eyes.
And then open your eyes.
And then I'd like to move your eyes down hard to the left.
So right behind your shoulder,
Keep your head nice and still.
Back to centre,
Look down hard to the right,
Behind your shoulder,
Keeping your head still.
Back to centre.
Now roll your eyes in a circular motion as if you're counting round a big clock face.
All the way around make sure to get all the numbers you might want to go around again if you need to And then I want you to go back the other way once you've done that.
So 12,
11,
10,
9,
8.
Five seven six five four three two one Okay,
We're going to hum a tune,
So I'm just going to do happy birthday,
So everyone knows that.
And then count to five.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Out loud.
Okay,
Well done.
Now I'm going to go back to normal tapping.
Know that feels strange but it's very effective tapping on the elbow point,
Even though I have this anxiety,
I'm choosing to calm myself.
Side of the eye i acknowledge my feelings without judgment Under the eye I allow myself to feel safe and supported.
Under the nose,
I can let go of the tension in my body.
I can let go.
Chin point,
I accept myself in this moment,
Just the way I am.
Collarbone point is safe for me to relax.
Under the arm i choose to let this anxiety just drift away Top of the head,
I embrace calmness and peace.
Okay,
We're going to do the nine gamma again.
Okay,
So tap on the gamma point.
Keep tapping,
Take a breath.
I'm going to continue now with those eye movements so close your eyes.
And open your eyes.
Eyes down hard to the left,
Right behind the shoulder as far as you can go,
Back to centre.
Eyes down hard to the right,
Right behind the shoulder.
Or as you can go back to centre.
And then we're going to look round in that clock face again.
So up to the 12.
1,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,

Big clock face.
And we're going to go back the other way.
So 12,
11,

9,
8,
7,
6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Back to the top.
Try and hit all of those numbers.
Then we're going to hum.
And then count to five one two three four five Well done.
OK,
So we're going to stop there.
Take a nice deep breath in.
All the way down,
Let your tummy rise and then let that out nice and slowly.
Okay,
Check in again.
Compare how you felt at the beginning to now on that scale of one to 10.
10,
Extremely anxious,
Zero,
Now anxiety.
Hopefully that's come down for you quite drastically.
Remember,
You're not your thoughts or feelings.
They're just these experiences that pass through you.
Now,
Thank you for being open to this technique.
It's strange yet very effective.
Hopefully that's worked really well for you.
If not,
Try it again.
Well done,
You are doing beautifully.
