Preface

TAT® is a process I developed as I was working with patients in my acupuncture

practice in California in 1993. I t focuses your attention on a series of statements while
you lightly touch acupressure points on your head that connect all physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual parts of yourself.

The "Steps of TAT®" combined with the TAT® pose (the acupressure points you touch)
enable your entire system -- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual -- to be present
in the current moment and more able to receive the love, healing, peace, and energy
available now. TAT® has been used successfully to end fears and phobias, lessen every
kind of stress -- both past and current -- and heal the emotional origins of physical
disease.

This e-book and video are intended to teach you how to use TAT® for any issue or
event you choose.

You’ll get a solid foundation for building your knowledge of TAT®. You’ll learn how to
use the TAT® process for yourself to bring more happiness and balance into all areas
of your life.

When you want to expand your healing and growth experience with TAT®, what you’ll
learn here will serve as a comprehensive basis for understanding how to do TAT®.
You’ll then be able to get the most out of working with a Certified TAT® Professional or
attending a TAT® workshop or webinar -- the results you can experience that way are
often even more powerful and profound than working on your own.

The information in this e-book and video, used even now and again or regularly
(several times a week or even daily) will take you on an inner and outer journey of
more love, happiness and peace.

Warm smiles and wishes for your highest happiness,

Tapas Fleming, L.Ac

Your Life

Right now, you have a sense of what your life is -- all the good and bad feelings, the
things that keep happening to you, the kind of people who end up crossing your path,
the job situations you find yourself in, the way it goes in relationships, the kind of luck
you have. All together, it’s your life and it typically has the same things happening over
and over with slight variations.

I ’ve got good news for you: the repeating negative thoughts, feelings and events that
make up your life can change for the better, all of them . Any resigned feelings or
thoughts you might have that “well, that’s just the way my life is” are only partially
true. I t’s true, that’s the way it is right now . But it doesn’t have to be that way in an
hour, a few hours or tomorrow. And it can change for the better in an hour and stay
that way for the rest of your life.

How do I know this? Because I ’ve been working with TAT® for over 23 years and have
seen it happen for clients, friends, family, people I ’ve never even met who contacted
me about their results, and with thousands of clients the Certified TAT® Professionals
have worked with over the years.

Brian, an ex-army sniper said, “I got my life back.” He couldn’t sleep with his wife
because about every 45 minutes, he’d wake up in the middle of an “incident” (PTSD
from his military service) and could easily end up hurting anyone he was sleeping with.
After doing TAT® for several nights in a two-week workshop, he was able to sleep
through the night peacefully. He slept with one child on each arm, his littlest one on
his chest and his wife cuddled up -- all in the same bed. He was so happy!

Sometimes, in one hour, a life of constant pain changes to no pain at all. Other times,
cancer (or another serious illness) is undetectable after doing TAT® regularly for a
year.

People don’t always fully heal with TAT® when it comes to for physical conditions.
Their feelings about their life typically change, though: their relationships with loved
ones can heal, their feelings about God can change and they can love themselves
more deeply. The quality of their life changes and their emotional state can still
definitely improve.

People often feel unloved and unheard, like they can’t speak up for themselves. These
feelings have been a constant in their whole life and they’ll have shown up in every
part of their lives: work, relationships, and money issues. I t’s possible to do TAT® and
have those feelings change in all areas of a person’s life and stay changed for good.

They begin to find that they can speak up for themselves, they feel loved, and they
feel heard. Their whole experience of how life feels to them changes for the better.

One woman I knew had social anxiety and fear of going out of her house. She had
spent years in her home. She learned TAT® and joined me for live webinars, and she
was over her fear in just a few months. Over time, I could see changes happening in
her in the webinars. Her eye glasses changed and got more fun, she no longer sat in
the dark and then one day I noticed the room behind her looked different I asked her
about it -- she had moved into a NEW house! She got a job working outside of her
home, supervising a group of marketers. She started going out all the time with friends
--we haven’t seen her on webinars for years! Total change in her life.

What makes up the negative texture of what we call “our life” has its source in several
places, places you might not have thought about. Or if you did think about them, you
might have figured there was no way to change them. Here are some of the sources I
know about that can strongly influence the nature of our lives:

● everything that surrounded our conception and time in utero before birth
● our family we were born into and lived with including our political,
religious, financial and educational experiences
● our ancestors -- unresolved traumas that happened to them both
individually and also as a group including warfare, discrimination, natural
disasters, etc.
● friends, colleagues, intimate partners, neighbors, strangers
● our cultural traumas, values and religious beliefs
● government, law, and authorities we are accountable to
● past lives, other-dimensional beings, spiritual or paranormal experiences
● subconscious programming via media, and unknown sources that influence
our minds and emotions
● advertising and marketing, books, movies, television, internet, radio
● traumas, stresses, what we feel we did to others that was hurtful,
● things that were said to us, and anything that keeps us stuck in identifying
with anything other than pure love or our true nature
● Food, medicines, herbs and supplements, time of day, time of year, type of
light (sunshine, cloudy days)

I f you step back from all of that, you can begin to get the idea that there are a lot of
negative, limiting belief systems profoundly influencing all of us all the time. We end
up with a bunch of beliefs that moderate every aspect of our lives -- how we think,
feel, communicate and relate to all that is.

I t’s hard to see the big picture of how our beliefs and thoughts get automatically
formed by all of the things influencing us. We live in our environments, like fish live in
water. I t just feels like “this is my life!”

On any given day, it’s typical that many of those major influences are central to our
Pr ob lem of t h e Day . Our Pr ob lem of t h e Day could look like:

● “ I can ’t f in d a g o od lif e p ar t n er ”
● “ I d on ’t f eel lov ed or v alu ed ”
● “ I ’m n ot ear n in g en o u g h m on ey ”
● “ M y h ealt h isn ’t g r eat an d I ’m in p ain ”
● “ I d on ’t k n o w w h at m y p u r p ose is - - m y lif e is so u n f u lf illin g ”

All of those sources are constantly feeding our thoughts and emotions with bad or
negative information and we end up with a Pr ob lem o f t h e Day . Our identification
with our inner environment of thoughts and feelings, limiting beliefs and unresolved
trauma make our energy low, keep us unhappy and unfulfilled and make us
unattractive to a good job situation or a good partner. Yes, it’s natural to be unhappy
and unfulfilled in a condition like this: no need to blame yourself!

This is where TAT® steps in: it allows you to de-identify in the most gentle and natural
way from what limits you and keeps you stressed. I t gives you an easy way to forgive
yourself and others and to no longer blame yourself or God for what happened. I t
gives you a way to have your own creative, fresh thoughts about what is happening
now and what could happen in the future. I t’s like a key that lets you out of a movie
theater you’d been locked up in, watching bad or scary movies play over and over
again. You get free.

I f you have a computer, you know what it’s like to have a program running in the
background that’s taking a lot of energy and making everything you’re trying to do run
slower, right? Same way with us: all the negative influencing factors are like hundreds
of little programs running in the background messing things up you’re trying to get
done in the here and now. They might not even be visible, but they’re there.

I t’s kind of easy to think about all the unhappy, violent, unresolved traumas and
ensuing negative beliefs that happened to our ancestors as programs. Picture it this
way: your great-grandparents are in their 20’s having dinner with their little kids.
Everything’s on the table, smells of warm, favorite foods fill the air they’re relaxing at
the end of their day, enjoying their home and family when suddenly the front door is
smashed open. Soldiers with guns come in and start yelling orders and killing people.
One child escapes. That’s your ancestor w h o liv ed . Because of what they
experienced, they ended up believing and feeling:

 ● “ Lif e isn ’t saf e.”
● “ Bein g ( t h eir r elig ion , t h eir et h n icit y ) isn ’t saf e.”
● “ Th er e’s n o p lace in t h e w or ld f o r m y f am ily an d m e.”
● “ I ’m n ot w elcom e in lif e.”
● “ I d on ’t r eally w an t t o b e aliv e.”
● “ W h en ev er t h in g s ar e r eally g oo d , an d y ou least ex p ect it , b ad t h in g s
h ap p en .”
● “ M y st o m ach h u r t s ev er y t im e I g et af r aid .”
● “ I d on ’t sleep w ell.”
● “ I h av e h ear t p r ob lem s.”

These are all natural responses to a shock like that. Those thoughts, beliefs, body
illnesses and stresses continue on. All of them are like programs that go on running
without end.

Generations later, you get born into that family and you inherit all of that. All of it. Our
DNA is passed down through generations of ancestors, and it contains imprints of their
thoughts and experiences which run in the background of our lives like “programs”.
We continue to be influenced by these “programs” in the structure of our bodies and in
our consciousness.

Our Pr ob lem of t h e Day could be:

“ I w an t t o f in d a g ood lif e p ar t n er , b u t I ’m alw ay s af r aid of b ein g lef t b y t h e
p eop le I lov e t h e m ost ...an d m y st om ach g et s t ied u p in k n ot s w h en I st ar t
t o g et r eally close t o so m eon e I car e ab o u t .”

The “program” from the incident that happened to your ancestor that survived is
running in the background of your life, and you’re unable to get close with someone
you love. That’s how it goes for all the mental and emotional (and often spiritual)
problems I see with people. Physical problems are highly influenced by those
“programs”, too.

People can feel it in you, they can feel when you’ve got programs running and they
just tend to chime in with your program. I t’s almost like we can see, hear and feel the
movies being played by the “programs” in other people, and we’re watching them and
emotionally responding to them, too -- even though it’s typically all going on
unconsciously. We can find ourselves reacting to someone based on sensing their
“negative programs”, and that we are stuck in certain reactions and perceptions of a
person because of this.

TAT® allows the traumas to be healed for you and all your ancestors, ending those
programs. You’re living more fully in the present moment, and more able to connect
with people you love and care about. You’re more attractive to people because you’re
not broadcasting out those negative “programs” anymore.

What happens? Where does all of that negativity go?

I t just ends. You had been in a condition of a part or parts of you being stuck in a bad
memory, watching a bad movie play over and over. Once those parts are free, you’re
not only out of the movie theater, that movie isn’t even playing anymore. Parts of you
had been projecting that horrible movie. Now, all the negative, energy-consuming
emotions, thoughts and feelings that were tied up with that stop.

Once it all stops, you’re simply in a condition of peace. I t’s like when wind and stormy
weather create big waves out in the ocean and then the storm is over. Where do the
waves go? They just stop -- conditions aren’t creating them anymore. The power and
energy aren’t being expressed as waves anymore, they return to the calm expanse of
ocean.

You are the ocean of love and peace. The more you do TAT®, the more you get to feel
your own, natural self. You may have never felt just how peaceful and happy you
actually are inside, when those programs stop running. TAT® doesn’t just get you over
something, it also restores you to a condition of being who you really are. The more
you use the TAT® process, the happier you get.

Doing TAT®, you’ll find that people want to be close with you.The more you shine, the
more your actual self is available, radiating the beauty and peace of your life within,
the more people want to be with you. Your loving presence shows. You also naturally
attract people who appreciate the kind of inner life you have, and you feel the deep
joy that being present with the real you brings. This all happens automatically by doing
more and more TAT®.

When any part of you is healed, you live more fully in your life, with new experiences
becoming available to you. You can experience more positive emotions, connect more
deeply with yourself and others, and are absolutely in a better position to create the
life of which you dream.

No Trying

What if the TAT® Pose was really the missing USB port for importing your thoughts
into your whole body, mind, feelings, ancestral information databank, past life
information databank and the whole “outside” world you live in? Do you think that’s
even possible?

I do. And it’s because of over 23 years of experience with myself and hundreds of
thousands of people using TAT® and the countless stories and experiences I ’ve heard.

So imagine if your body worked like a computer and you really could just update
information. I magine the power of being able to quit using “You.Version 2-year-old”
and “You.Version 5-year-old” and “You.Version Teenager” and “You.Version Ancestors
from 1700-1900 and “You.Version 21st Century Powerless in These Times of Change”.
Can you imagine what that would be like?

When you do TAT®, you don’t try. When you do a google search, you don’t try, do
you? You don’t use your Power of I ntent. You don’t create a White Light Healing
Shield then focus hard on your computer screen for a nano-second waiting for the
search replies to come up, right? You don’t beam love at your computer trying to help
it along or hope hard that something positive will happen, do you? Of course not. You
just type something in the search bar, tap the ‘enter’ key and you have your results.

Same way with TAT®. You just do the TAT® Pose, put your attention on each
statement, relax and notice what comes to the “screen” of your attention. That. I s. I t.
No trying!

You start off with something big, gnarly, nasty, seemingly-endless and you end up
with you: present, peaceful and happy. Not trying to be peaceful, present and happy.
Not pushing the big, gnarly thing away. That thing is dissolved in the simple process of
doing TAT® and it’s just you there for real: peaceful, present and happy. Aaaaaaaah!
So easy!

Parts of You are Stuck in Old Memories and Trauma

Have you ever experienced any of these situations:

● a part of you wants to go ahead with something and part of you doesn’t?
● a part of you feels closed and protective about moving ahead in a relationship
and part of you wants to get involved?
● at work, a part of you feels angry and part of you feels weak and crushed by
what’s going on?
● A part of you feels excited about a new idea and another part starts non-stop
criticizing you, saying things like:

○ “ You ’r e a lo ser . Ju st f or g et it .”
○ “ Not h in g y ou d o ev er w o r k s.”
○ “ Qu it w h ile y o u ’r e ah ead .”
○ “ No on e car es w h at y ou t h in k , an y w ay .”
○ “ You ’ll n ev er f ollow t h r o u g h - - y ou n ev er d o.”

What are those parts, anyway? How’d they get there and why do they keep saying all
that useless and often mean, critical stuff to you? How can you make them stop?

These parts often get born in times of stress and trauma. For example: you’re five
years old and your parents are having an argument. Dishes are being broken and
they’re yelling. You feel scared and abandoned. A part of your consciousness gets
frozen in that moment trying to deal with what’s going on. I t’s as if there’s a separate
five-year-old part -- an isolated identity within yourself who’s now thinking and feeling
things like:

● “ I t ’s m y f au lt .”
● “ I f I ’m q u iet an d b eh av e w ell, m y p ar en t s w ill st o p f ig h t in g an d b e
h ap p y . Th en I ’ll f eel saf e.”
● “ I w asn ’t g ood en ou g h f or t h em t o p ay at t en t io n t o m e an d b e n ice t o
m e. I ’ll t r y h ar d er .”

I n a traumatic experience, a part of our consciousness can become wrapped up in

“solving” a problem, protecting us from danger or abuse, or just trying to find sense in
a senseless situation. The beliefs that spring up, like the ones listed above, can be
inaccurate but there are parts of us that hold onto those beliefs and remind us of them
when we are in new stressful situations -- particularly situations that are like the
original one. The resonance with the original situation triggers the part or parts of us
that were born in the original stressful events.

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

Entire areas of our lives based on those beliefs. I t often looks something like this:

You grow up and this five-year-old part is still actively holding onto its old beliefs. You
find yourself in the same kind of situations that happen over and over, following the
pattern of these beliefs. You may find yourself wondering, “How come I seem to keep
creating the same awful things again and again?”

A disagreement is happening at work about how to solve a problem, and your opinion
would help, but you find yourself “being quiet”, just trying to make it so that people
don’t fight around you. You’re feeling anxious and hearing a voice inside, like an
annoying pop-up ad, saying:

● “ You ’r e n ot g oo d en ou g h f or an y on e t o p ay at t en t ion t o.”

● “ Th is is all y o u r f au lt .”
● “ Don ’t sp eak u p - - it ’s n o t saf e.”

Or you’re in a relationship that’s ending and you hear yourself thinking, “I wasn’t good
enough for them to pay attention to me and be nice to me. I suppose I didn’t try hard
enough. Well, I guess I never really felt safe with them, anyway.”

This is the five-year-old part running the show. Your life is being dictated by a part of
yourself that you don’t even know is still there. All you can see is these same kind of
thoughts and feelings that seem to be endlessly playing out over and over again in
your life. TAT® works as a communication process which updates all of the parts of us
that are linked to what we have decided to work on during each TAT® session we do.

Any parts that have any kind of connection to what we are working on in the moment
are contacted. They’re informed that while, in their reality, they are frozen in an
experience that they have not yet left, we have actually moved on, and we are inviting
those parts to accept that the original stressful or traumatic experience is over.

The Steps of TAT® have been created in a way which updates those parts of us with
the knowledge that it is now possible that:

● they can leave that past experience they’ve been stuck in

● they can actually heal from that experience
● they can re-join the “rest of us” and no longer feel separate
● they no longer need to offer old advice or beliefs that have nothing to do with
the reality of our current lives

I n the very beginning of the TAT® process, we include the intention or prayer of
having all the parts of yourself heal, even if you don’t know who or what they are.

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

That will help them dissolve into love and relaxation and they won’t continue giving
you old information anymore about how to live and how to be.

Negative Beliefs

We have very clear memories of the exact tone of voice and words used when people
have said negative and hurtful things to us. We can sometimes remember these things
that have been said to us in such a clear way that it seems we are listening to a voice
that is speaking to us in this current moment.

Most of the time, what was said to us just wasn’t accurate, it was just an expression of
a negative emotion or belief held by the person who was saying those awful things.
The memory of those voices can become their own “program”, and that can feel like
someone talking to us now in a critical, harsh way. We sometimes don’t recognize or
remember the original source over time.

Some of those statements others made about you just didn’t apply to your life
experience then or even now. But those beliefs can feel like they are a part of us and
you “can’t get ‘em out”, right? Sometimes, it’s not just annoying, it’s downright
crippling. The voices are there and we find ourselves unable to take a single step
“against” what the voice is telling us.

Wow. Not good. We get stuck with the information we heard because we believed it to
be true:

● “ I f y ou b r eak o n e of t h ese law s, y ou ’ll g o t o h ell an d b u r n f or all

et er n it y .”
● “ You d o n ’t d eser v e an y o n e’s lov e.
● “ You ’r e a sin n er . You d on ’t d eser v e God ’s lov e.”
● “ You ’r e a slob ! You ’r e n o t w or t h su p p or t in g .”
● “ I f y ou d on ’t h av e b r ig h t , w h it e t eet h an d u se ou r p r od u ct , n o on e w ill
k iss y ou .”
● “ Peop le w ill t h in k b et t er of y ou an d y ou ’ll g et m or e sex if y ou d r iv e ou r
k in d of car .”
● “ Ou r p eop le ar e lov ed b y God - - t h ose p eop le ar e n ot .”
● “ Ou r p eop le ar e alw ay s d iscr im in at ed ag ain st .”
● “ You ’ll n ev er m ak e an y t h in g of y o u r self . You ’r e st u p id .”
● “ Ou r f am ily is low er class. W e h av e t o w or k , w or k , w o r k j u st t o g et b y
in lif e.”

The fact that we get as much done as we do with all of this kind of talk going on is
amazing. I magine finally living without those voices carrying on. Ahhhh! The fresh
energy and sheer freedom!

I nclude the negative voices in what you want to heal when you do your healing work.
Don’t try and push them aside. Bring them into the light of love instead, where they’ll
melt . You’ll get back loads of energy that used to be involved in hearing those voices,
trying to push them away, trying to make them stop and feeling bad about yourself.
You’ll pop up to the surface of the Ocean of Joy like a cork that had been held down.
I t’s your nature to be bobbing along, floating in happiness. You’ll find yourself there
more and more of the time as these negative voices are cleared away.

How I t Feels to do TAT®

Your experience might be different each time you do TAT®. You could have similar
things that happen each time for a few sessions or your experience could be very
different every time you do it. Typical experiences can include:

● realizing something
● feeling more compassionate
● feeling more peace and true acceptance of yourself and life as it is
● feeling happier, lighter, clearer or more relaxed
● sighing
● getting sleepy
● getting energized
● feeling warmer
● feeling that nothing has happened at the time you do a session
● being in less physical pain
● feeling transformed and more yourself
● realizing changes that have happened in how you are, how you feel, how
you’re living only after a session is over

Whatever happens for you is normal. Period. That’s because you’re being healed and
brought into more presence by the Divine or Universe itself, and what it takes to get
you there is an individualized process, each and every time you do TAT®.

How to Be While You’re Doing TAT®

This part is nice and simple: your job is to relax and come along for the ride. The tricky
part is not trying to do something or make something happen.

Many smart, educated and experienced people using TAT® can have difficulties:

● Being fully present in a situation they’re not “controlling”

● not knowing exactly what’s going to happen beforehand
● accepting TAT® can help even if they don’t fully understand how it works

Your “job” is to focus on yourself -- paying attention to your thoughts, physical

experiences, memories and any feelings that arise. There is no need to get deeply
involved or try to find deeper meaning with anything you notice. Your job is simply to
notice what is happening for you: enjoy what is being transformed, notice if anything
is continuing to be stuck and then add the stuck stuff into your healing process.

 Elements of a TAT® Session
Lear n in g Th e TAT ® Pose

1. With one hand, lightly touch the tip of the thumb to the area 1/ 8-inch above the
inner corner of your eye.
2. With the fourth finger (the ring finger) of the same hand, lightly touch the tip of
the finger to the area 1/ 8-inch above the inner corner of the other eye.
3. Place the tip of the middle finger at the point midway between, and about 1/ 2
inch above, eyebrow level.
4. Place your other hand on the back of your head, with the palm touching the
head so that the thumb is resting at the base of the skull just above the hairline.
The palm cradles the base of your skull. Both hands should be resting gently --
no pressure is necessary.

The hand position on the front of the head combined with the hand position on back of
the head create the TAT ® Pose:

For children age 11 and under, an open hand can be used for the front position. The
palm is placed over the forehead covering the top half of the eyes. The child may hold
the pose themselves, or you can hold the pose for your child on their head.

Tips About the TAT® Process

● While in the TAT® Pose, put your attention on the statement in each Step then
relax and notice whatever you happen to notice.
● You don’t need to repeat the words, either silently or out loud.
● You can rest your arms at any point -- even during a Step.
● You only need to hold the Pose for about 20 seconds up to a minute as you relax
and notice whatever you happen to notice.
● Limit the time that you hold the TAT® Pose on your head to no more than 15-20
minutes total per day. Doing just one session daily, holding the TAT Pose for 20
seconds to a minute per Step will ensure you do not exceed the recommended
time in the TAT® Pose.
● Use the wording that is right for you -- just keep the meaning for each Step as
your focus.
● Either hand can be in front and you can switch hands if you need to at any time.
● I t’s OK to rest your arms then go back into the TAT® Pose during a Step.
● I t’s OK to get part way through all the Steps, take a break and come back to it
some other time.
● Eyes can be open or closed during the process.
● I t’s OK to do the TAT® process while you’re lying down and you can also support
your arms with pillows or some other way when you’re either lying down or
sitting up.
● I f you have something to work on that feels too big to do by yourself or you feel
you need or would like help, schedule a private session with a Certified TAT®
Professional or me.
● I t is not necessary nor is it recommended to relive or re-experience past
incidents in order for them to be healed. I t is enough to intend that you would
like to have them healed in order for TAT® to be effective.
● Very rarely, your feelings may get stronger as you do TAT® and temporarily
become the central focus of your attention. I f this happens, stay in the TAT Pose
and put your attention back on the intention of the Step. Don't put your
attention on getting more and more into those feelings. Following these
instructions, your feelings usually become peaceful in about a minute or less. I f
you don't feel peace beginning to come after about a minute, stop doing the
process and ask for help from a Certified TAT® Professional , a licensed mental
health practitioner or me.

What to Work On I n Your Session, or, How to Create the “Pot” or “Bundle”

The “pot” is how I like to refer to the place we put all the things we want to have
healed in a session. You’re welcome to use this image or a “bundle” or whatever you
want including no image at all: you can simply decide on what you want to work on.
You can add anything into the pot, anytime, as you go through the TAT® process
without having to go back through the Steps you have already completed.

The way to find out what to put in the pot is to put your attention on something that’s
bothering you and see what comes up. What do you notice? I nclude your feelings,
body sensations, thoughts, relationship patterns (both in your own life and your family
of origin), energy level, beliefs, memories and whatever doesn’t feel good. I t’s typical
to notice:

● Aches or pains or any sensations in your body

● Disturbing memories
● Feelings like sadness, anger, frustration, loneliness
● Thoughts about what people said to you or did to you or what you did or said to
them
● Things that you can’t give words to but are there

That’s what goes “into the pot”. Again, put your attention on what’s bothering you, see
what you notice and add that in. Keep this focus until nothing else comes to mind.
That means there’s nothing else to add into the pot at the moment and it’s time to do
the TAT® process.
Writing everything down is a good idea because in a few minutes, after you’ve done
TAT®, you’ll probably be feeling very different. A typical comment after re-reading all
the stuff that went into the pot is, “That’s not me -- that sounds like someone else’s
story!” Yes, it can happen that fast! Read more at the end of this book on “Keeping A
TAT Journal”.
Fortunately, TAT® works to get rid of these awful feelings, limiting beliefs, etc. So
please, when you write what comes to mind, don’t try to make it “nicer” or change the
words to lighten it up in any way. I like to say, “The ‘worse-er’, the better!” That’s
because when nasty stuff makes itself known, it’s a moment to celebrate! You can now
heal that awful stuff and then be happier and more expressive of your true divine
nature forever. That’s a good thing!
To locate more stuff to add to the “pot”, you can also put your attention on what
comes up for you related to the following statements (some might apply to what
you’re working on and some might not). Write down whatever you notice. Take your
time.

At first, it may be hard to believe that stirring up so much “junk” can be a good thing.
After all, haven’t most of us spent our lives trying to avoid all that and focus on
“feeling better”? You know: overeating, eating junk food, drinking alcohol, doing
drugs, overworking, get addicted to something ...anything. We do whatever it takes to
distract ourselves from the bad feelings or outcomes we fear and to comfort ourselves.
You’ll find that the more you do TAT®, the more confidence you have that you can stir
up a big pile of yucky feelings and negative beliefs to put in the “pot”. You’ll know
from experience that they’ll all be resolved into peace and happiness very soon. Don’t
take my word for it: do TAT® daily over weeks and months and find out for yourself!

Stopper Thoughts

So many people are used to willfully pushing those thoughts aside or trying to use
their will to overcome their negative thoughts. They get tied up in that struggle.
I nstead, doing the TAT® process, add those thoughts to the pot or bundle. They
usually dissolve along with all the other stuck stuff you’ve decided to work on in that
session.

“Stopper thoughts” (or “stoppers” for short) means any thought that would make it so
that the healing process can’t move forward. These thoughts can occur before or
during a TAT® session. Any time a stopper thought occurs to you, just put it in the pot
or bundle right then and there and continue where you left off in your TAT® Steps.

Here are some typical “stoppers” that you can add to the pot:

● “ Th is w ill n ev er w or k f or m e!
● TAT ® is t oo easy t o b e of an y v alu e.
● I t m ig h t w or k f o r ot h er p eop le, b u t n ot f o r m e.
● Th is issu e is t oo b ig f or TAT ® t o h elp .
● Not h in g can ch an g e t h is.
● Not h in g else h as w or k ed f or t h is - - TAT ® w on ’t eit h er .”

How Much You Can You Work On in One Session

How big can our “pot” be? I don’t know an exact limit: we each need to find out for
ourselves. I ’ve made lists of 20 or so things all related to one subject -- emotions,
feelings in my body and limiting beliefs -- and they’ve all cleared up in one session.
Sometimes, I find there are bits that didn’t get cleared away. I just add those bits into
the next TAT® session I do. I ’ve also done sessions on 5 or 6 unrelated things and
they’ve all cleared up in a session. Some clients who’ve had years of abuse have
cleared all those traumas up in one or two sessions. One man cleared up a whole year
of trauma in his military service in one session!

On the other end of the spectrum, you might need to do several sessions on different
aspects of one problem over weeks, months or even years to get the results you want.
For example, I had cancer and did TAT® several times a week over a year -- along
with other health-supporting activities -- before it was gone. And sometimes, TAT®
doesn’t make much difference in clearing up a physical condition. I f that happens for
you, it’s worth getting support. You can learn more about how to use TAT® effectively
for yourself or work with a Certified TAT® Professional or me to maximize your results.

I n addition, work with all the different kinds of health care providers you need to help
you get the level of health you want.

How Many Sessions I t Takes to Clear Something Up

The more chronic a situation or condition is, the more sessions you usually need to do.
Healing the emotional roots of a disease might take several sessions a week over
months or even a year. Getting over a single incident, like a car accident typically takes
only one or two sessions...unless you’re always getting into car accidents or accidents
in general. That means you’re in a chronic condition and that could take many
sessions.

I f you do a TAT® session and find that, at the end, there are some bits remaining that
feel unfinished, just add them into the next pot for your next session.

I t’s like cooking a soup: potatoes take longer to cook than celery. So if you’ve got
something at the end of a session that isn’t fully “cooked”, just add it into the next pot!

How to Know When You’re Done w ith a Step

The easiest way to know you’re done with a Step and ready to move on to the next
one is that about a minute has gone by. Other tips that you’re done you might notice:

● Your attention wanders

● You find yourself wondering, “Could I already be done?”
● You simply don’t feel engaged with it anymore
● You sigh
● You yawn
● You feel lighter
● You have a sense of something having been released
● You feel relaxed
● You don’t feel bothered by it anymore
● Your breathing gets deeper
● You feel a sense of expansion
● You suddenly realize something
● You feel compassion and love that wasn’t there before

Often, nothing at all happens. That’s OK, too. Just wait for a minute to go by then go
on to the next Step.

Putting it All Together the Easy Way

To experience TAT® for yourself the easy way, you can either follow along with the
accompanying TAT®-101 video or with the written instructions below. I ’ll be walking
you through the whole TAT® process step-by-step.

Now you are ready to start using the Steps of TAT®. All of the statements are in bold
print . You can read them to yourself or say them out loud while in the TAT® Pose,
then relax and notice what happens.

The Steps of TAT®

The I ntention of Each Session

At the beginning of each session, you’ll make an inclusive intention that is an offering
to many to enjoy and benefit from the healing work you’re about to do. I t’s not only
nice because others get to benefit, it’s also necessary because you’re tied up with
them: they’re influencing you based on their life traumas, their limiting beliefs, their
cultural views, etc. We’re each living in an emotional sea of information from our vast
genetic lineages, our own current culture, our family culture, our individual lives and
more!

You do the “Heart Pose” during the intention. To be in the “Heart Pose”, you place
palm over palm on your chest at midline near your heart. While in the Heart Pose, put
your attention on the following statement -- you can read it out loud or silently:

“ Th is h ealin g is on b eh alf of m e, m y f am ily , m y an cest or s, all t h e p ar t s of

m e, m y con sciou s an d su b con scio u s m in d , all t h e p oin t s of v iew I ’v e ev er
h eld , ev er y m an if est at io n of m y b ein g in all t im es an d all d im en sion s, all
b ein g s in v olv ed an d all b ein g s w h o w o u ld lik e t o b en ef it f r om t h is h ealin g .
Th is h ealin g w ill h ap p en saf ely an d easily .”

Even though we don’t know who all the beings involved are, we’re including them with
our good wishes. We also don’t know the details of the rest of this big intention and
we make it, anyway.

I f you’ve never done TAT® before, do the TAT® Pose and put your attention both of
these statements, for about 15 seconds:

“ TAT ® is easy an d cou ld w or k an d b e of g r eat v alu e.”

“ I n ow ch oose t o accep t lif e, lov e, h elp an d h ealin g .”

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

Now you’ll move on to the Steps of TAT®. While you’re in the TAT® Pose, read the
statement for each Step either silently or aloud. After about 20 seconds to one minute
in the TAT® Pose, put your hands down if you’d like a rest or go on and read the next
Step. As you put your attention on the statement of the Step, relax and notice what
happens. Don’t force or resist anything while you’re in the TAT® Pose – just allow
whatever happens to happen. You might like to take notes at the end of each Step for
yourself if you’d like to reflect on the process when you’re done. Sometimes, nothing
noticeable happens and that’s OK. Continue this way for each of the Steps.

The Problem -- Step 1

Decide what you want to work on. Once you’ve put everything you want to into the
“pot” for this session, put your attention on:

“ Ev er y t h in g t h at led u p t o m y r eson at in g , id en t if y in g an d con n ect in g w it h

t h is h ap p en ed .”

“This” in the statement above means everything you decided to work on (everything in
the “pot”).

The Opposite Condition -- Step 2

When you put your attention on the statement of Step 2, and all the Steps for that
matter, you aren’t being asked to believe the statement or try and make it feel true,
just simply to be with that thought or possibility, relax and notice whatever you
happen to notice.

Put your attention on:

“ Th at h ap p en ed , it ’s ov er , I ’m OK an d I n o lon g er r eson at e, id en t if y or
con n ect w it h t h is.”

The Places – Step 3

Stress and negative thoughts can become stuck or lodged in different parts of the
body or in an external location such as a house, a city or a country where the event
happened, a specific season or even in a group or race of people. These resonances,
or storage spaces, are different for each person, and each event may be stored
differently. You don't need to be aware of all the places where the problem has been
stored; you simply need to be open to the possibility of those places being healed
while you do TAT®.

Put your attention on:

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

“ All t h e p laces in m y m in d , b od y an d lif e w h er e t h is h as b een st o r ed ar e
h ealin g n ow .”
And/ or
“ God , t h an k y o u f or h ealin g all t h e p laces in m y m in d , b od y an d lif e w h er e
t h is h as b een st o r ed .”

Whenever “God” is mentioned, please use whatever name pleases you or none at all.

The Origins -- Step 4

Origins can include anything that happened to you at any time, anywhere, that
brought about the existence of your issues in the “pot”: events from childhood, things
that happened to other people that stressed you, dreams, memories, unconscious
impressions, cellular memories, genetic information...whatever happened to you. You
don't need to be aware of what the origins are; simply have the idea that it’s possible
for them to heal.

Put your attention on:

“ All t h e or ig in s o f t h is ar e h ealin g n ow ”
And/ or
“ God , t h an k y o u f or h ealin g all t h e or ig in s of t h is.”

Forgiveness – Step 5

There are five parts to this Step:

● silent conversation with whoever comes to mind
● communications and connections
● forgiving others
● asking forgiveness for yourself
● absolving anyone you blamed for the problem

Do the Pose and put your attention on each of the following, one at a time:

While in the TAT® Pose, have a silent conversation and interaction w ith
w hoever or w hatever comes to mind related to forgiveness.

I t could be one person, a whole group, God or no one at all. As you do this, you allow
whatever’s there to be expressed without editing. Don’t be polite or proper -- express
whatever you wish in this conversation. Sometimes people come to mind, sometimes
they don’t: it’s all OK.

Next, while in the pose, put your attention on:

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

“ All t h e com m u n icat io n s an d co n n ect io n s r elat ed t o t h is ar e co m p let in g
n ow .”

This means that if part or parts of you have been isolated, they’re now connected and
communicating with the rest of you. This includes all the parts of your body, all your
growing up parts (you at all your different ages) and simply ALL parts of you that
exist. The statement of this Step means that all those parts are now connected and
communicating everything about this (whatever you’re working on this session) to
each other.

While in the pose, put your attention on:

“ I f or g iv e ev er y o n e w h o h u r t m e r elat ed t o t h is an d w ish t h em lov e,

h ap p in ess an d p eace.”

Forgiveness in this context means, “I accept that was the best we could do at that
moment” not that what you or they did was OK, kind or acceptable.

Please understand that when you forgive someone, it does not mean that you approve
of what they did or that you want to be in a current or close relationship with them.
You may find that you choose to renew relationships with people after you heal the
incidents from the past and have forgiven them for whatever they did...or you may
not. There are some people it wouldn’t be physically, emotionally or mentally safe for
you to be in contact with. I t is important that you take care of yourself. I t is also
important that you dissolve your negative connection with those people, and forgiving
them will certainly help you do that. There may be times when you forgive someone
else purely for you own sake and not for theirs.

You don’t need to think of who all those people were or what they did. You don’t need
to feel all gushy or emotional. Making the intention of the statement is all you do.

I f you have trouble forgiving someone else, do the TAT® Pose with your attention on
the statement “it’s possible that at some point I may forgive you.” I f you have trouble
forgiving yourself, do the TAT® Pose and put your attention on the statement, “I t’s
possible for me to forgive myself.”

(I f you’d like further help forgiving someone -- including yourself -- or find you’re not
getting the results you want or just want support at any point in your session, please
contact one of the Certified TAT® Professionals or me for a private session.)

While in the pose, put your attention on:

“ I ap olo g ize t o ev er y on e I h u r t r elat ed t o t h is an d w ish t h em lov e,
h ap p in ess an d p eace.”

You don’t need to think of who all those people were or what they did, just focus on
the intention of the statement.

While in the pose, put your attention on:

“ I f or g iv e ev er y o n e I b lam ed f o r t h is, in clu d in g God an d m y self .”

Speaking w ith the Parts – Step 6

Here, you’re addressing all the parts of you that are involved with this (whatever
you’re working on). This includes parts of you that embody childhood points of view
and parts of your body that are holding the stress and trauma plus all of the
information and energy held in your body’s energy field.

The wording for this Step is:

“ All t h e p ar t s of m e t h at h av e b een in v olv ed in t h is ar e h ealin g n o w ”

And/ or
“ God , t h an k y o u f or h ealin g all t h e p ar t s of m e t h at h av e b een in v olv ed in
t h is”

Whenever you want, you can read the following Parts Script to all the parts of you
involved. I t’s not necessary for healing with TAT®: it’s an optional addition.

I f you use the Parts Script , you don’t need to identify the parts, simply speak to
them directly with or without knowing anything about them.

I ’ve put optional statements I use now and again in parentheses.

Parts Script:

First, address the physical parts involved by doing the TAT® Pose and conveying
everything to the parts:

“ To all o f t h e p h y sical p ar t s in v o lv ed :
I lov e an d accep t y ou j u st t h e w ay y o u ar e r ig h t n ow .
You ’r e com p let ely in clu d ed in t h is h ealin g .
You ’r e com p let ely con n ect ed w it h all t h e r est of m y b od y , all of m e an d all
t h at is.
All y o u r n eed s ar e h ear d an d b ein g m et n ow .”

© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com

Next, we address the other parts involved:
“ To all o f t h e p ar t s t h at h av e b een r ej ect ed , ar e f ar , f ar aw ay or d eep d o w n
an d h id d en , ar e u n con sciou s, ar e u n k n o w n t o m e or d on ’t t h in k of y ou r self

( W e’r e in clu d in g all t h e p ar t s of o u r an cest or s t h at ar e in v o lv ed in t h is.)
Now we address the emotional and all the rest of the parts involved about what we are
working on in this session:

● “ I t ’s OK f or y ou t o accep t t h at I ’m in con t act w it h y ou .

● I lov e an d accep t y ou j u st t h e w ay y o u ar e r ig h t n ow .

● You can accep t lov e, con n ect io n , com p assion , p r esen ce an d su p p or t .”

Optional Parts Statements:

“ You can accep t Div in e Lov e, con n ect io n , com p assion , p r esen ce an d

You can g iv e lov e, con n ect ion , co m p assio n , p r esen ce an d su p p or t .
You can r est in t h at : t h at is y ou r h om e.
You can act f r o m t h at : t h at is y o u r ow n n at u r e.”
We’re praying and making wishes that the Divine and all good-hearted beings who’d
like to help elevate all parts of ourselves, all the parts of ancestors and any beings who
might be involved in what we are healing. We are asking them to help everyone
involved with what we put in the pot experience the highest, happiest, most Divine-
love filled life possible now. We’re also requesting all the parts of other beings involved
are rejoining them in the present moment and now and live a happy life. We thank the
Divine for making that happen.
© 2016 TATLife® All Rights Reserved tatlife.com
Plus whatever comes to mind that you’d like to convey to those parts or they’d like to
convey to you or whoever. Take your time. Don’t worry if nothing at all comes to
mind: that’s OK. Sometimes things come to mind and sometimes they don’t.

Whatever’s Left -- Step 7

For this Step, take a moment to check in with yourself to see if there’s something left
over from the original problem that hasn’t completely healed. The “something left
over” could be an emotion, a thought, a belief, a memory, a sensation in your body or
something you can even define but you know it’s there.

I f you notice this is the case for you, put your attention on:

“ W h at ev er ’s lef t ab ou t t h is is h ealin g n o w ”
And/ or
“ God , t h an k y o u f or h ealin g w h at ev er ’s lef t ab ou t t h is.”

Many people find it is a nice, cleaning-up step that feels good to do in each session.
Now look back over where you started (The “pot”) and see if there’s anything that still
feels stuck or unfinished. You may find that you have another side issue or thought
that surfaces now. I f so, do Step 1 and 2 again about that. Often, simply adding that
additional issue or thought into the “TAT® pot” and doing the first two Steps just for
that alone is enough to clear it up. I f not, make a note to add what came up for you
into the next TAT® you experience. Just remember to keep your total time in the TAT®
Pose to 20 minutes a day and that there’s no problem with doing something that came
to mind at a later time, even another day.

Choosing -- Step 8

For this Step, decide whatever positive outcome you would like for what you worked
on this session. I f, for example you had a fear of performing, you might now picture
yourself on stage being very calm and delivering a stellar performance. I t’s very
effective to involve yourself as much as possible in this Step. Describing it aloud
incorporates both speaking and hearing into the healing process. Also, feel what it
would be like – your heart beating steadily, the sense of relaxation, and your smile of
contentment. Feel your performance with everything going smoothly, just as you
would like it to.

Here are the statements from ‘How to Create the Pot’ you might have worked with
earlier plus some possible “I choose” statements in bold and italics following
each one. They’re suggestions -- just to give you an idea of things you could choose

for yourself. You can use them or not and you’re welcome to change them to perfectly
suit what you’d like to choose for yourself.

You can also make big, broad “I choose” statements, like:

● “ I h av e all t h e t ools an d h elp I n eed t o su p p or t m e in h av in g , b ein g or

d oin g t h is r ig h t n ow .
● All m y m ist ak es b en ef it m e an d ev er y on e in v olv ed .

● All t h e st u f f I p u t in t h e p ot is clear ed u p an d I f eel t ot ally g r eat ab ou t
all t h at n ow .”

Once you have made your “I Choose” statements, you can say the following about all
you have chosen:

● “ Th is is p ossib le f or m e.
● I lik e t h is an d it f eels g r eat .

● I see an d f eel m y self easily com p let in g all t h e act ion s r elat ed t o

● I ’m g r at ef u l f or t h is.”

Once you are done with your statements, give yourself a big smile about what you
chose.

I ntegration – Step 9

This Step is designed to completely integrate the healing from this session into your
entire being. There are four parts to it.

First, do the TAT® Pose and put your attention on:

“ Th is h ealin g is com p let ely in t eg r at ed n o w w it h m y g r at ef u l t h an k s.”

And/ or “ God , t h an k You f or com p let ely in t eg r at in g t h is h ealin g n ow .”

Second, switch the position of your hands so that the front hand moves to the back
and the hand from the back moves to the front. Put your attention on the above
statement again.

“ Th is h ealin g is com p let ely in t eg r at ed n o w w it h m y g r at ef u l t h an k s.”

And/ or “ God , t h an k You f or com p let ely in t eg r at in g t h is h ealin g n ow .”

Third, put your fingertips on the skin just behind your ears with your thumbs behind
where your earlobes attach and your little fingers where the tops of your ears attach
(see below). Your fingertips are touching your head, your fingertips are touching your
ears.

Put your attention on the statement again.

And/ or “ God , t h an k You f or com p let ely in t eg r at in g t h is h ealin g n ow .”

Last, with your hands in the Heart Pose (palm over palm over the heart chakra), make
this statement:

“ I com p let ely accep t t h is h ealin g an d t r an sf or m at ion in m y h ear t an d w h ole

b ein g f o r m y self an d ev er y on e in v olv ed w it h m y g r at ef u l t h an k s.”

That’s it! The TAT® Pose and Steps are the heart of TAT®. People often describe it as
being elegantly simple yet amazingly effective. I t’s been called a “portal of grace”.

Keep a TAT Journal

When you do TAT® sessions on yourself, you might like to rate the intensity of the
issue(s) you are working on before you begin the session, using a scale of 0-10. With
‘0’ indicating ‘no stress’ and ‘10’ indicating ‘the worst possible’, you can rate how you
feel when you think of everything you put in the pot for the session you’re about to do.
When you are just starting to use TAT® on your own, I recommend that you start with
an issue that has an intensity level of “5” on a scale of 0 - 10.

Then, at the end of the session, you can rate the intensity again. Think of everything
you worked on, use the same scale and rate the problem again then compare your
“before” and “after” ratings.

I n fact, if you find you’re loving the results you’re getting with TAT®, it could be a
good idea to keep track of those ratings plus what you worked on each session and
anything you noticed about your process. You’ll typically find that once you’ve done a
TAT® session on something that was bothering you, no matter how big, scary or real it
was … it just becomes a “non-issue” and can even be hard to remember!

The transformations that happen with TAT® are often so complete that it’s hard to
even imagine you felt and thought the way you did even though it was just a few
minutes earlier! You might like using a journal so you can look back on your TAT®
sessions and see where you were and how far you’ve come. Completing 25 sessions
on yourself and documenting them is one of the essential core requirements in our
TAT® Certification Program.

Of course, the real test for how effective TAT® is will be the changes you see in your
life. With some sessions, you may feel immediate, big shifts – a weight that suddenly
lifts from your shoulders, a dramatic easing of pain or tension. Other times the
changes might be much more subtle.

One day, you may realize that you simply haven’t thought about a problem for weeks,
when it used to be on your mind every day. You may find yourself in the midst of
doing something that you would never have dreamed possible a day earlier, and now
you’re doing it easily without a second thought. All of these changes constantly
contribute to your living a way happier life and they can be directly related to your
having done TAT®.

What’s Next?

I f you haven’t yet watched the video, I ’ll see you there! I ’ll be reviewing much of the
information in this e-book and it will all come together easily as we do TAT® together
in the TAT®-101 video.

Working with our Certified TAT® Professionals allows you to relax and let them guide
and support you. Their loving attention and presence combined with their skill and
experience make it easy for you to go deep within to heal and grow.

The webinars and workshops we offer give you a group experience -- there’s a unique
power there that isn’t in our other offerings. I t’s encouraging to hear other people’s
experiences: what they’re working on can give you ideas about what you could work
on plus you often feel the relief of knowing, “I ’m not the only one” with that problem.

I f you’d love to share this with others professionally, please look into joining our
Certification Program so you can become more present, gain deeper understanding in
how TAT® works and skill in using it to help others.

I recommend you do TAT® often -- a few times a week -- as you focus on really
creating the happy life you want. You can do it -- it’s easy with TAT®!
