Matrix Reimprinting Instructions
The following are very basic instructions for using the Matrix Reimprinting Technique. Of course, the danger of issuing instructions for any technique is that it can appear to over simplify the process. So please be aware that these instructions represent Matrix Reimprinting in it's most basic form, but there are a whole myriad of possibilities and considerations as you work in the matrix in this way. You are therefore advised to attend a Matrix Reimprinting workshop or training before you attempt to use this work on your clients.
● Begin with the Movie Technique. Start the movie at a safe place, before there is any emotional intensity.
● At any significant point of emotional intensity, pause the movie.
● Ask your client if it's OK to tap on them and tell your client to close their eyes, then begin tapping on them.
● Ask your client if they can see the younger version of themselves, and instruct them to describe the image that they see . This younger version of themselves is the ECHO.
● Ask your client to explain to their ECHO that they have come to help them let go of the negative emotions that they are experiencing.
● Explain to your client that they are going to tap on the ECHO. Check with the ECHO that they have permission to do so, and get your client to imagine tapping on their ECHO.
● Encourage your client to converse with their ECHO, asking the ECHO what life messages he or she gained from this situation.
● Encourage your client to ask their ECHO if there is anything they would like to do to resolve this situation. They can:
- 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.
This is usually done in silence. Give them time to complete this.
● When this is complete, ask your client and the ECHO if they would like to go to a safe place of their choosing in their imagination. Examples include a field, the park, seaside, etcetera.
● When the ECHO and client are in a good emotional space, get the client to intensify the colours and emotions connected with this image.
● Now get the client to bring this picture into their minds, washing the colours and emotions through every cell in their bodies.
● Then send this image out through the heart back into the matrix. Get the client to feel as much emotion as they can.
● Invite your client back to the present and encourage them to open their eyes in their own time. Ask your client to try to replay the original movie - if there is any intensity remaining then tap in the normal way. (The original movie is likely to change or disappear on resolution).

Benefit's of Matrix Reimprinting
The Matrix Reimprinting technique is easy to use. It is also very gentle on your clients. It enables your client to resolve a whole range of traumatic experiences without being re-traumatising.
Rewriting the past
One of the major benefits of Matrix Reimprinting is that it resources the client and enables them to rewrite their past. This is very different to denying that the past happened. Changing the images and 'memories' in the field in this way not only creates resolution, but changes the function of the cells in the present.
Resolving core issues
With the Matrix Reimprinting technique you can also quickly find and resolve core issues. In traditional EFT when someone expresses a belief such as "I must be perfect to be loved" your work as a practitioner is to find the early memories relating to this belief and resolve them with EFT. With the Matrix Reimprinting technique you not only resolve the memories which contributed to the core issues, you can also instill new supporting beliefs and experiences. This in turn affects and transforms your current belief system in the present moment.
Preconscious trauma
The Matrix Reimprinting technique also locates preconscious trauma, even trauma that has occurred before the first six years. Very few therapies or practices have tools for working with preconscious memories, yet the research of cell biologist Bruce Lipton indicates that this is when most of the damage is done to our perceptions of self. With the Matrix Reimprinting technique your client can interact with themselves as far back as in the womb, and can access and resolve preconscious traumas.
Reframes and cognitive shifts
Another benefit of the Matrix Reimprinting technique is that it commonly produces client driven reframes and cognitive shifts. One of the great benefits of the technique is that most of the work comes from the client (although if they get stuck at any point, guidance is needed from the practitioner). As the client leads the process, they decide what is best for them, in order to resolve the energetic disruption around the trauma. As the power is with the client, they are much more likely to reframe the situation themselves or emphasize their cognitive shifts. As practitioners we are well aware that these shifts indicate that resolution and therefore healing has taken place.
Forgiveness
Similarly, the Matrix Reimprinting often leads clients to a place of forgiveness, particularly to the perpetrator of their traumatic experience. There are a number of schools of thought which believe that the purpose of any therapeutic intervention is to reach the point of forgiveness. This is not something to be forced on or fained by the client, and there is often a sticking point in traditional therapeutic practices where a client will say they have forgiven their perpetrator consciously, but will not have forgiven their perpetrator on a subconscious level. The Matrix Reimprinting technique leads the client naturally to a place of forgiveness.
Psychological reversal and secondary gains
The Matrix Reimprinting technique also elegantly locates psychological reversal and secondary gains. By interacting with the ECHO we can begin to understand exactly why it is holding onto a problem or an issue for us which is keeping us stuck in an old pattern of thinking or behaving. The ECHO is most often trying to protect us, or filtering its understanding through the perceptions of a child, and we as adults continue to respond to our own worlds through those same childlike perceptions, until the energy around the memory is resolved. This creates more self-understanding from the client who can pinpoint their current self-destructive behaviours to early memories, and replace them with more supporting beliefs and behaviours.
Positive beliefs
On the same note, the Matrix Reimprinting technique can instill new positive beliefs into any past memory. One of the issues that many of us face with the traditional EFT protocol is because we always focus on the negative, there is often a void left when an issue is resolved. With the Matrix Reimprinting technique this void can be filled by allowing your ECHO to have experiences which create supportive beliefs and behaviours.
Disassociated clients
Another great benefit is that Matrix Reimprinting works on disassociated clients who have no SUDS levels. As EFT practitioners this client group is one of the most challenging to work with. The Matrix Reimprinting technique works perfectly with this client group as when the client works with the ECHO the technique works more effectively when the client is disassociated.
Trauma resolution
The Matrix Reimprinting technique is very valuable in its ability to send a message to the body that the trauma is over. It ends the trauma cycle where the trauma is constantly being replayed over and over in the matrix. This enables the body and the cells to respond in healthier ways, and begin to heal.
Resolving the unresolvable
With Matrix Reimprinting you can also help your clients to resolve issues which have previously been unresolvable. This is particularly beneficial when clients have lost family members or loved ones and not had a chance to say goodbye or resolve their differences. Using Matrix Reimprinting the client can release the emotions around unresolved relationships and let go of the ties which hold them in the past.
Law of attraction
A further benefit of the Matrix Reimprinting technique is that it utilises the law of attraction. As mentioned earlier when we have traumatic experiences and hold them in our matrix, we continue to attract similar experiences. With this technique once we resolve the trauma, we change the point of attraction and begin to draw more fulfilling and life sustaining experiences.
