Introduce yourself to your ECHO. You need to Jet them know who you are and explain that you have come from the future to help them feel differently about the situation. This is done silently in your mind.
The ECHO will often have been holding the trauma for a long time. Thank them for doing such a great job for you.
Ask the ECHO what they are feeling and where they are feeling it in their body. Then Imagine carrying out the EFT protocol on the ECHO while conti nuing to tap on yourself.
For example, if the ECHO Is feeling black fear In their heart, imagine tapping on their karate chop point while tapping on your own karate chop point At. the same time, say the set-up phrase out loud, for example: 'Ewn though you haW this black fear in your heart, you love and accept If the ECHO Is a child, adapt the language of the set-up phrase to suit a 'Ewm though

Continue this u ntil the ECHO has cleared some of the Intensity of emotion that they are feeling.
Converse silently in your mind with the ECHO, asking what they learned about life from this situation. Check whether you are still running this lessOn. For example, if the ECHO says they learned they were 'stupid', do you still feel stupid at times?
Ask the ECHO if there Is a nything they would like to do to resolve this situation. They can:
• bring in new resources
• change what happened
• I nvite somebody or something else in for help and guidance
• do what they didn't do or they wished they'd done In that situation
Change the image accordingly •

You can also use this technique on another person. This is exactly the same as using it on yourself, except that you tap on them and they tap on the ECHO throughout. In summary:
• Ask them to bring to m ind the i mage or scene they want to work on.
• Encourage them to describe what they are seeing. The i mportant thing Is to make sure that they are looking at the scene from the outside, not through the eyes of their younger self, the ECHO. In order to ensure that they are doing this, you can ask the m a number of questions such as 'What are they wearing?', 'What do they look like?', etc.
• Encourage them to close their eyes, check you have permission to on them and then begin tapping using all the points (page 57).
• Ask them to step into the scene as their current self and i ntroduce themselves to the ECHO. Let them explai n why they have come and thank the ECHO for holding on to the trauma.

The Basic Premise of the Technique
This technique is similar to Matrix Scene Reimprinting, except that it al lows you to work with a longer memory rather than a smaller scene or image. Just like the conventional EFT Movie Technique, the memory needs to be a single event with a number of peaks of emotional i ntensity within it. It also needs to span a short period of time, for example a few min utes, an hour, a morning, an afternoon or an eveni ng, and to last for no more than ten min utes in total when you tell the story. If it spans several days or weeks, you will need to divide it into several memories, giving each one a separate title and working on them one at a time.
Matrix Memory Reimprinting: Working on Yourself

Continue this until the ECHO has cleared some of the intensity of emotion that they are feeling.
Ask the ECHO what they learned about life from this situation.
Check whether you are still running this lesson. For example, if the ECHO says they learned they were 'unlovable', do you still feel unlovable at times?
Ask the ECHO If there Is a nything they would like to do to resolve this situation. They can:
• prepare for what is about to happen
• bring in new resources
• change what happened
• invite somebody or something else in for help and guidance
• do what they didn't do or they wished they'd done in that situation
The transformation work is usually done In silence. Give yourself time to complete this while you conti nue tapping on yourself and on your ECHO.
Once the tlrst emotionally Intense peak of the memory has been transformed, stop tapping on yourself, open your eyes and continue with the narration.
