inhaled and exhaled.
When I had finished with the first round of touching acupoints, which took a min
ute or
so, I asked her: Before I began this process you told me the strength of your pro
blem was
9; what is happening with the problem now?
She looked surprised, as did the group of fifteen people present, when she said:
There
isnt any. It vanished!
I was the most surprised of all. Based on everything I knew, I did not expect su
ch a
successful result.
Several weeks later I gave my first PEAT workshop. At the end of the day, when P
articipants
were convinced of the efficiency of the method, I repeated the experiment with a
volunteer Participant. I was again slightly skeptical and had modest expectation
s only that
the strength of the problem would decrease at the end of the process. I believed
I should
not expect more because the volunteer had met me for the first time at that work
shop, so I
expected him to be less open and trusting of me than the members of my group. Ye
t again I
was surprised his problem disappeared after just one round of touching acupoints
.
From then on, as a component of my PEAT workshops, I have included this method o
f
removing problems without using words and without touching acupoints, just using
intenPEAT:

tion. Not even once has the strength of the problem not been considerably reduce
d, and in
many Participants, the problem entirely disappeared.
I later began applying this procedure to an entire group. I ask each person to c
hoose a
problem, to experience it and estimate its strength on a scale of 0 to 10. They
do not inform
me which problem they chose or what its strength is. Next I visualize the whole
group as
one huge being of vague shape, and as taking up most of the space in the room. T
hen I
imagine stretching out my hand and touching the beings acupoints with the intenti
on of
removing its collective problem. I go through all the acupoints. At each point,
I deeply inhale
and exhale. When I complete the process I ask all the members of the group to te
ll me
what happened to their problems. Not even one problem has ever had the same stre
ngth as
before. They were either much weaker, or disappeared entirely.
On my workshops, I show Participants that they too can achieve the same result.
I first
describe the method in detail and then let a volunteer try to conduct the proces
s. The result
is the same as when I conduct it. To be able to achieve such success with this p
rocess is
surprising and fascinating.
There are several important elements in this process I would like to point out.
First, I do the process focusing on the three points around the eye. I move from
the first
to the third point. This is one round. In total, I do three rounds (three times
three points).
Second, and most important for Practitioners, is the significance of directing a
ttention
and intention to a Client when we do individual PEAT processing, either Basic or
Deep.
Obviously, it makes a great difference if the Processor places maximum attention
on the
Client and has the intention of helping rather than if the Processor does it wit
h partial attention
or even automatically, without being truly engaged. If the Processor uses his ow
n
intention to the greatest possible degree, and the Client has the intention to f
eel better, success
will be incomparably greater than when such a well-intentioned and focused attit
ude
is lacking.
Third, the issue of moral responsibility in such a procedure arises, especially
because
some practitioners claim to have helped others using intention without their acc
ordance or
knowledge. Actually, this is the same problem that arises with Surrogate Process
ing (see
that chapter); that is, processing others through identifying with them.
Fourth, entirely new perspectives and possibilities are opening up for us. If I
can attain
good results with 20 or 30 people, and if after me a Participant from my Process
ors training
seminar can do the same, is it possible to attain the same results with a group
of 150
people? This process could be developed further because it has a great potential
. Perhaps soon we will witness the development of a new kind of therapy Intentio
nal therapy?
