Angela Treat Lyon LittleRed Little RedTappingBooks TappingBooks.com .com I use a powerful emotional clearing process called MTT, Meridian Tapping Techniques, also called EFT, the Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT was originated by Gary Craig (emofree.com). I call this series the ‘Tapping’ books because I am not affiliated with Gary, and refer to the process as Tapping, rather than EFT. Since my tapping method is a bit more wild, adding visualization, intuitive reframing and choices, I call it Maverick Tapping. My deepest appreciation to EFT Master Dr. Patricia Carrington for her brilliant introduction of the Choices Method to the EFT process, making the results way more complete, inspiring and satisfying.

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY PLEASE READ THIS DISCLAIMER BEFORE READING THIS BOOK The information presented in this book is educational in nature and is provided as only general information. In your reading this book, you understand that you will be introduced to a modality called Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as EFT, MTT, or tapping) which is a technique referred to as a type of energy therapy. To date, tapping has yielded remarkable results for relievingemotional and physical distress and enhancing personal, business, artistic and athletic performance. Tapping appears to have promising mental, spiritual, and physical health benefits but has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, medical, and psychological communities. The premise behind tapping is that it employs a gentle stimulation of select points on the face, torso and hands used in the ancient Chinese meridian system. This basic procedure has helped thousands of people relieve their own emotional stress and physiological pain, and to balance their energy systems. By reading this book you agree and understand that tapping could be considered experimental, and that the author does not know exactly how you will personally respond to tapping and/or whether your tapping will help you with a particular problem or issue. Due to the experimental nature of tapping, and because the extent of its effectiveness, as well as its risks and benefits, are not fully known, you agree to assume and accept full responsibility for any and all risks associated with reading this book and using tapping as a result of reading this book or listening to its corresponding audio. You understand and agree that the information presented in this book (and/or audio) is only for your own personal personal use. In order to use tapping tapping with others others you must become sufficiently trained and qualified as a tapping, EFT or MTT practitioner. You further understand that if you choose to use tapping, it is possible that emotional or physical sensations or additional unresolved memories may surface which could be perceived as negative side effects. Emotional material may continue to surface after using tapping, indicating other issues may need to be addressed. Previously vivid or traumatic memories may fade which could adversely impact your ability to provide detailed legal testimony regarding a traumatic incident.

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY
Why These Tapping Books? Hi, my name is Angela Treat Lyon. I’m known as a peak performance and business success specialist. I live in Hawaii, but work with clients all over the world. It’s my passion to help you take your life and business way beyond what you originally thought you would—as fast, fun and fulfilling as we can make that happen. To facilitate that happening, I hold many teleclasses, trainings, business and marketing seminars, as well as group and private coaching, both business and personal, for those who dare to think in terms of, “What Box?” And to make things go even faster and funner, I help you reverse the limiting factors in your life and business using a powerful personal stress relief tool simply called ‘tapping’. (More on that in a bit....) In mid 2009, I was looking through my files and saw that I had over 1000 audio recordings that I had created over the past 5 years with my clients

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY and students in private sessions, coaching, seminars, teleclasses and business study courses. I realized that if I didn’t do something more with them that could help people beyond what the original sessions or classes did, I’d feel like I was hoarding this rich resource. So I decided to create a whole line of really handy, to-the-point tapping books that you can stick in your pocket, purse, suitcase, briefcase or backpack to read and tap along with on your way to work, to school, traveling or wherever. I picked out recordings I thought had the most potential to provide good, hearty tapping examples for you to tap along with, and had them edited and transcribed. This book you are reading right now is one of those transcriptions. It does not follow the original audio precisely, because I edited it to clear up confusing parts or colloquial languaging. Now it’s richer in meaning and is more understandable. In case you don’t know where to get more of these books and audios, you can get them here: LittleRedTappingBooks.com. You’ll find both downloadable audio recordings and printable ebooks there. You can get the same books in print here: Lulu.com/littleredtappingbooks.

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY If you are not familiar with tapping, please visit EFTinEveryHome.com. I do include illustrations of the points within the illustrated text in this book here, so go ahead and read and tap, but do visit the site afterwards for even more clarity about how tapping works (free). You will notice as you read and tap along with these books and audios that sometimes we get into some of my tappers’ very specific memories. Not to worry—even though obviously your story will differ from theirs, tap along with us, anyway, and the energy in your system will shift, too: this is called Borrowing Benefits.
Before you start reading Make a note on a piece of paper what some of your own most important issues are that fit with the subject of this book. If you can’t find words, write down how you feel inside your body when you think of failing or feeling like a failure. It’s those feelings we want to get at and shift for you, so you can actually create and have the life, dreams, family, business and relationships you dream of but haven’t attained as yet. Why tap on those limiting feelings, thoughts, habits and beliefs? Because by definition, they are limiting you! When we tap on them, we can

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY get at the stored energy in them. You know how much work it is not to say an ugly thing when you really want to blast someone? Well, imagine all the energy in that ugly blast being cleaned up and used for creativity! That’s what I help you do—find the places where you hold back, and clean up what’s in there. Then we expand the energy so you can use it for what you want, rather than it using you! It can be easy, simple and even fun, if you allow it! Remember your own issues as I ask my tappers what’s going on for them, but don’t get into worrying about whether your issues are the same or not, because as you tap along, your energy will know exactly what to do and where to go to resolve your own issues. When I ask what feeling-intensity rating to give how my tapper feels, rate your own—and make note of your rating on your sheet of paper. This way you’ll see the progress you’ve made when you’re done tapping along. We do this because tapping is so very effective that often what made you nuts before you won’t even remember afterwards! Tap along, but don’t try to replace the story words with your own because you’ll just get confused and

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY
Cascade Tapping for Prosperity Here’s a new way I’ve been taking people through EFT (also known as MTT or tapping). It’s powerful, sublime, and very effective. I’m calling it Cascade Tapping, because it feels like standing under a soft but vitalizing waterfall. You know how sometimes you feel stuck in your thoughts and have a hard time feeling or saying what’s going on with them? I’ve used Cascade Tapping with hundreds of people now, both in live sessions and in my teleclasses, and I’ve found that this way of tapping helps them move from thinking to feeling in seconds. Why is this important? Because it’s the underlying feeling which signifies where the stuck or distorted energy is in your body or energy system. That feeling helps you identify what’s going on and how to address it. You need to clear the energy in order © Angela Treat Lyon 2009 • 17 • LittleRedTappingBooks.com All Rights Reserved Internationally
How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY to stop feeling stuck, afraid, sad, depressed, angry, frustrated, etc., and in order to make new choices and to feel better. Cascade Tapping is really a very simple variation from the original plain tapping, in which you jumping from one point to the next and tapping on each one 5 to 7 times (see left top image). Instead of jumping your fingers, you move gently and gradually in little half-inch increments from one point to the next, only tapping on the incremental spots once (See the blue dotted line in the left bottom image). Start at the eyebrow point and tap over to the side-eye. Use 5 to

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY 7 little steps. Then down around and under the eye, down the side of the face to the under-nose, over the lips and down the chin and throat, and so on. When you get to the collarbone points, tap down diagonally to the under-arm point, and circle down to the liver point on the ribs. Then stop tapping on your body, and slap the insides of your wrists together 4 or 5 times, right where your palm meets your arm. This is a great place to tap when you’re feeling anxious, by the way. NOTE: Many tapping practitioners have created new variations and ideas about where to start, but I usually start at the top of the head with very gentle circle of tapping, then trek on down to the third eye, and on down. No hard fast rules.
Now reach back up and start tapping again at the top of your head and down again if you feel like you need to tap more on whatever issue you were tapping on. SIGNS OF YOUR ENERGY SHIFTING Did you know that when you yawn or give a big sigh (or even pass air or your belly rumbles), it’s a good indication that the energy in your body is shifting?

And if it happens while you are tapping on yourself, then you know you’re doing some great work! I find that when I use Cascade Tapping with my clients, they have an almost instant yawn or sigh factor for anxiety and fear, in particular. I use it, myself, especially while I’m driving in scary heavy weather, and I feel more calm almost immediately. CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY I’m including next part of one my Wealth Maverick teleclasses where we tapped with Melinda, who felt that “everyone else can ‘do it’ (market themselves, have abundance, success, etc.) but me.” The topic of the teleclass was Rebonding with Abundance , Bonding with the Mother Principle. It was both for those people who never bonded with their mothers at birth, and for those who wanted to strengthen their bond—not just to

Even though: • sometimes I’ve felt really stupid • but I know I’m intelligent • and I thought to myself • ‘how come they’ve got it and I don’t?’ • and I have tried and tried and tried • I’ve done all the same things they do • but they succeed and I fall short! • I feel like there’s a wall between me and life • I work and work and work and what do I get? • Nothing! • And it makes me so mad! • I’ve got this reversed energy • all the way through my system • all the way from birth and maybe before! • But I know I can reverse it • this EFT stuff is pretty handy. • I know that I can reverse things • that I never knew about before • today I’m using this energy

to reverse the non-bonding with my Mother so that I can open up every one of my cells my entire body! and my entire energy system to the bond with my Mother that I never felt or had before and when I do this it’s an opening to the Mother Principle so even if I don’t like my birth Mother that’s alright, it’s not about her it’s about the receiving principle I’m choosing to open up myself fully today right now, right this moment BECAUSE I believe in me.

Angela: OK, take a deep breath, in and out. How does that feel, Melinda?
Melinda: “It feels wonderful There were times that I just wanted to stop tapping and open my arms to the receiving. It felt like I want to open my hands, my palms, my fingers, the inside of my arms...all the front of my body, to that receiving mode! My body is just open to all that abundance that I knew was there!”

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY Then slap the insides of your wrists together. Go back to the top of the head and start down again. Or, you could skip the wrists and just tap your way up the center line of your body and over your face to the top of your head, and start down again. Tapping like this will bring up feelings! If you feel incredibly irritated, just keep tapping. That irritation is the very energy you want to get at! It’s holding your calm and your peace captive—tap all the way through until you feel more calm and centered. Go back to the ‘even thoughs,’ and say, “I feel so p*ssed off, irritated, all this energy, agh!” Don’t hold back—
Say it like it is for you! And remember to keep saying you accept yourself. If it’s uncomfortable to say that, do a whole round like this: Even though: • I don’t accept myself • I never will • I’m too (bad, ornery, stubborn, ________ ) © Angela Treat Lyon 2009 • 27 • LittleRedTappingBooks.com All Rights Reserved Internationally

Then you can say: • and I choose to do ______ • BECAUSE I love and accept myself because you’ll be coming from the very deepest core of yourself. You need to be persistent and keep at it till you do feel better. Don’t let your perception or your judgement of the energy trap you into thinking there’s something ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’ happening—it’s just energy that you’re feeling, and it’s clearing and now it’s up for grabs—literally. Now that you have cleared it, you can transform it to something you love and feel great about.

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY your speech or your performance, and you could now call it excitement? What a different perception, yes? Instead of labeling it ‘fear’ and feeling like that energy is choking you or stopping you, now you can see it as helping you, and you can start moving towards your great performance! I invite you to start thinking what you might do if you knew in your heart of hearts that you absolutely could succeed. Take baby steps towards that until you feel comfortable enough to leap. TOO MUCH TAPPING? I’ve received a couple of notes about the Cascade Tapping where people said they thought it was ‘too much tapping.’ If you take each “even though” phrase and do a full top to bottom tapping round on it, yes, it would be a monstrous amount of tapping. The “even though” setups are meant to be strings of single stream-of-consciousness-type phrases, with the “I accept myself” phrase thrown in every several statements. That way, you are using a saying-how-I feel group of phrases rather than doing a full round per statement. Make sense?

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY DO I TAP 5 - 7 TIMES ON EACH POINT BETWEEN THE POINTS? If you sat there and tapped the full 5 to 7 times on each step in between the points, you’d tap yourself insane! No! Just start at one point and tap rapidly in 5 to 7 increments to the next. It’s exactly the same amount of tapping that way as if you jumped to the next point. WHERE DO I GO AFTER THE LIVER POINT? You can either go from the liver point (on the edge of the ribs directly under the nipple) directly up the center of the body to the top of the head; or to slapping your wrists together and then back to the top of the head. Please don’t make something so simple into something too complex! Instead of tapping on one point and jumping over to the next, all you’re doing is stepping over to the next point in little increments. That’s all! Nothing else changes! Have fun with it!

COMMENTS FROM CASCADE TAPPERS LIKE A WATERFALL! “Oh, it felt beautiful. It’s very freeing, Angela. I felt set free! It felt like flowing water...it was refreshing, too. I felt cleaner, like I had just had a shower, very much like that. It’s very interesting because it is less confining. I feel like somebody’s let me free. “When I was cascading it was a little difficult to keep tapping, so I just was gliding my fingers along the points. It felt very very smooth and wonderful. You can’t really think very much while you’re doing it, which is good. It just loosens up your mind. In the ordinary EFT we think a lot. With this, we don’t have the time to stop and think at each place.” Many thanks, Angela - EFT Master Dr. Patricia Carrington Inventor of the EFT Choices Method

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY appeared useful to me so I tried it. On my own I had gotten to the point where I wasn’t worried or depressed over money issues. I did the Cascade tapping on 3 consecutive days and each day the work that I had scheduled cancelled! After tapping, which brought up some powerful energy and movement, I felt tremendous sadness. It has been 5 days since I did the first tapping and I am still dealing with the sadness, fear and anger. I seem to have re-triggered feelings I though I’d cleared. I was wondering if you would be willing to help me discover what is lying just below the surface here. I am living in Mexico (from California) and am working through this stuff on my own. Thank you so much, I look forward to your insight. Warmly, - Jenni L.

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY matter what the issue is. It’s been in there for a long time and wants to come out. It’s pretty powerful energy if it’s lasting that long!
Remember that love brings up everything unlike itself to make it possible to heal it. Your system has been hiding all this stuff, and now that you have cleared some surface energies, your system figures you’re ready for something deeper. Your system trusts you to be able to handle feelings, now that you’ve got this tapping tool.
Don’t betray that trust by saying you ‘don’t like’ the feelings!

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY All your system wants is for you to keep going and transform that energy into something that you can use for creatively and for living your life. Finally these deeper feelings are at the surface! It’s time to deal with them! It’s just energy lying under some old stories you thought up or that were thought up and laid on you—it’s called conditioning!
It’s just energy. Use it! Another suggestion would be to write an ‘opposites’ list: on one side of the paper, write what you feel right now, i.e., ‘tremendous sadness.’ Opposite from what you wrote down, write the answers you get when you ask yourself what’s the opposite of that for you.
Tremendous sadness Fear Weakness and hesitation Confusion
Joy, Happiness Confidence Strength Calm

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY Then when you tap, move towards the desired items, rather than getting swallowed up in the sadness and trying to ‘get rid of it.” It’s like this: right now, as you focus on all that’s ‘bad,’ you are driving with your door wide open, looking down at the street concentrating on trying to find and fix the potholes. Close the door and look through your windshield (keep hold of your vision and goals) to the horizon where your destination is, and handle the potholes as they come along. If you keep focusing on potholes, guess what you’ll get more of! Potholes!
The only thing wrong with any of us is that we think there is something wrong with us! Remember it’s all about energy, and the ‘feelings’ are simply signals, indications, telling you that there is energy there inside of you that you can transform and harvest. But you need to keep your destination

This is what opens peoples hearts and allows them to accept themselves and the possibility of their healing in no other comparable way....bravo Angela!! Can’t wait to do this mother bonding with my two girls...amazing how many issues I resonated with..and now my oldest (22) has a daughter of her own and although she has bonded especially strongly, with her being a single mom, I know that she could deeply use this too. Love and Blessings... - Sallie (Australia)

How to Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY When I first I knew about you I was just divorced with a daughter with a rare neurological and semilethal disease and I felt sad, hopeless, ruined and unable to do anything for my daughter or me. Thanks goodness I met Rebecca and her book sent me to your page and I not only not gave up but I overcome my problems. (Baby steps of course). I recently discovered (thanks to Helena of LivDelicious.com) that my life could not only be not only tolerable, but delicious and I’m saving some money in a PIGEES.com (like you say to do!) account to get a few sessions with her. I do not know how to thank you for the support you have given my daughter and me during all this time. Your classes, your books and your images have filled our lives in light, joy and hope. Now is my time to send you all my love, all our love, our care and and our support. You are very apreciated A big hug - Silvia Alba from Spain
P. S: My daugther did not speak english but maybe she can make a picture to send you. She love your 6 PIGEES tale (she has a neurological problem but a great heart, when the draw is ready I will use the scanner and send it to you).

The Ankle Injury
That ‘Should’ Have Taken 6 Weeks to Heal! Recently I was in LA at a very intense CEO retreat. I decided to spend time afterwards at a friend’s place, just resting and getting all the new ideas I had learned settled in before I came back to Hawaii. After a couple days, feeling restored and rested, I started to walk up to the local store, just two blocks away. Halfway there, I was walking along, looking at a really lovely garden along the way. I didn’t notice a differential of heights in the paving blocks in the sidewalk, and, as my shoe was caught by the rise in the sidewalk, I slipped and twisted my ankle very badly, and fell down a little grassy verge. A long time ago, I learned that when an accident

Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY BONUS SECTION or trauma happens, it’s as if the energy running through your body is like trying to force the amount of water that would normally run through a big, fat fire hose to run through a little skinny garden hose—there’s suddenly too much, way too fast, and the rush of energy hurts! One of the pain control tactics I learned back then was how to cover my mouth with my hand and scream loudly from the bottom of my belly to allow that too-much energy out. When you cover your mouth as you shout out loud, you create pressure, which allows you to push your belly muscles as you yell. This helps you literally push excess energy out of your system. (And covering your mouth also muffles your yell so the neighbors don’t freak out, thinking you’re dying and come running to save you!) So I did some hand screams right there on the sidewalk, several times, and it alleviated enough energy that I could think straight enough to lean on the tree there on the little grass verge, and start

Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY BONUS SECTION to tap. I looked around to see if there was someone who could help me back to the apartment, but the usually busy street was completely empty! I felt so discombobulated that I didn’t bother with the karate chop—I just tapped on the collarbone points, and said, • • • • • • • • •
I fell down! How could I do that?!? I feel so dumb! I wasn’t paying attention! Duh! Look at those paving squares! Anyone can see They’re at least an inch different in level! Who wouldn’t fall on that!?!
That resolved and calmed another level of the pain and shock. I stuck my leg out straight and dared to look at it for the first time, and I could see that it was turning a little blue and beginning to swell up over my sneaker top. So I continued to tap away on my collarbone points: • • • •
I’m MAD! I feel so stupid! I’m all alone and I forgot my cell phone and who would I call anyway

(my friend was out of town). Here I am all alone in LA with no one to help me get back to the apartment, what am I going to do? I’m out of food and I can’t even get to the dumb store!
I could now literally feel the energy flowing from above my knee, down my shins and out my foot, into the ground. Suddenly an immense feeling of gratitude and peace came over me, and I tapped: • • • • • • • • •
I’m all alone but I’m OK. I’m so grateful I have grass to sit on and not some icky alleyway trash! I feel so glad it’s sunny and not cold and foggy or wet. I’m glad that when I do get back, my friend’s apartment is comfy and safe. I know I’ll get food somehow and I refuse to worry about it.
I sat back against the tree and closed my eyes for a second. I felt really good. Calm, warm, and safe!

Use CASCADE TAPPING for PROSPERITY BONUS SECTION Then I heard, “Oh! Are you OK? You don’t look homeless, can I help you get up?” I looked up, and there was a gal about my age, reaching down to help me up! I took her hand, got up, and—no surprise, really— no pain! The swelling had gone down. Turned out she was from Hawaii, too, so we had a little laugh about that. I walked to the store, bought some food, and headed back to my friend’s apartment. After putting the food away—I wasn’t hungry anymore—I drank a bunch of warm water to stay hydrated, laid down and covered up to avoid shock, and put ice on my ankle, as the walking had started the swelling up again. I tapped and tapped: • • • • • •
I’m in a bit of pain, It’s swelling again, I should have come straight here and didn’t, Dumb me, I feel shocked and disrupted, I can’t think straight....
And finally, I forgave myself for being so silly, and fell asleep. Later, another friend came by. She gave me a long touch-for-health treatment, swabbed my ankle with liniment, and put an Ace bandage on it—and

And other than the annoyance of being stuck horizontal, everything was so sweet. I don’t know how to describe it any other way. My friend told me that she couldn’t remember her dreams, so I showed her how to tap for it, and we tapped about five rounds. At the end of it, she was bright as a candle, and I felt better, too. Love those borrowed benefits! That night, the swelling was down, but I kept tapping for it, as I had to fly home the next day. I tapped on: • • • • • • • • •
I’m worried about getting to my flight, how will I ever get through the lines and the security check points handling my heavy bags I won’t be able to put my foot up during the flight I’m worried that my foot and ankle will be as big as a balloon at the end of the flight, and will hurt...
The second the security guard at the airport door saw my Ace bandage, she asked me if I’d like a © Angela Treat Lyon 2009 • 44 • LittleRedTappingBooks.com All Rights Reserved Internationally

I was going to refuse, thinking to myself that it really wasn’t all that bad, I could get through (my Tough-it-out Hero self-image coming in).... She bent down and whispered, “You can get right to the head of the security and boarding lines in the chair, you know. You sure....?” How could I resist? On the plane back, I tapped mentally (not using any physical movements at all, just imagining tapping with my fingers as if I was actually tapping with them) about my foot swelling up and not wanting to be disabled for a week afterwards—or however long it takes to heal these things. I tapped at least the first half of the trip (5 hours), and at some point, was actually pain-free and worry-free enough to be able to sleep. If this had happened to me five years ago, the only thing I’d have known to do was hand-scream. But right now, only three days after I fell, my ankle is only very slightly swollen. It never did turn as black and blue as it could have, never did hurt very much—and I only took an anti-inflammatory once, on the flight home.

Using what I now know about my mind, body and energy system, I was able to create an entirely different experience. I’m so grateful!
LATER: Today is three weeks exactly since I turned my ankle. I visited my chiropractor right after I got home, and he insisted on taking x-rays. We saw that the bone very obviously had been chipped. He recommended that I go to the hospital get it into a cast. I decided to look at it as an opportunity for a tapping experiment, and chose to just keep off of it and do a LOT of tapping! It worked! I went to him again this morning, and he exclaimed out loud when he saw I wasn’t limping. He was astounded that not only had the swelling (that came up later because I couldn’t get my foot up on the plane) almost completely gone, but there was not a trace of any discoloration. I have a very slight lurch as I go downstairs, but no limp when I walk; and no pain. He told me he was amazed, that it “ought” to have taken at least 6 weeks to heal, with my foot and ankle in a cast and me clumping around on crutches. I’m so grateful to have this incredible tool. Ha! So do you!
