Acu-POWER™ and treating Acrophobia (Fear of Heights)

Did you know that you were only born with two fears?

The first is the fear of loud noises.

The second is the fear of falling-A classic study, done many years ago, involved the following. Psychologists had a young infant on a table. Between two tables was a transparent plexiglass platform. Now, the baby could easily crawl across this plexiglass—but almost all the kids refused. That’s because the plexiglass gave the impression that they could fall. They had a natural fear of heights.

What does this mean to us? This means that we’ve all learned every other fear we have. Since we’ve ‘learned’ or rather conditioned our selves to have these phobias we can also be cured of these phobias.

The Fear of Heights is usually a combination of …

•    The fear of falling (an original fear),

•    The fear of losing control

This fear may manifest itself as a fear of driving over bridges or freeway overpasses, the fear of climbing a ladder or looking out of a glass elevator.

Even though Acrophobia (Fear of heights) is commonly recognized as an original fear we can still harness it and wheel it into manageable proportions.

Below I will explain how the Acu-POWER™ treatment can benefit you in doing just that. This process is so easy that once you’ve learned it you can use it anywhere anytime. You can also teach your friends by giving them a copy of my book. Freedom From Fear Forever.

On one TV appearance I cured 3 different people of their fear of heights in one segment; One person was afraid to climb on a ladder over 2 steps, after a few minutes they were able to climbed to the top of a 12 foot ladder. Another person who couldn’t stand looking over the edge of anything over a single story and couldn’t walk to the edge to see the view of a hotel lobby from the 5th floor – mastered his fear in minutes. What’s funny about that guy is that he was an air traffic control and worked in a tower everyday of his life. He commented before the treatment – “I work in a tower – but I never look over the edge of the rail – I just keep my eyes on my screen and on the horizon looking for planes.” The final person was afraid of glass elevators and had to face the door whenever she was forced to ride in one. She loved the Acu-POWER™ treatment and went from fearing glass elevators to riding roller coasters.

Here’s a remarkable testimony from one of my patients.

“I was being treated for a shoulder and arm problem and after the treatment I was telling Dr. Durlacher that it seemed strange that in recent years I had become very uncomfortable with heights. Ironically, I was a paratrooper in the Army and had made hundreds of jumps from many heights but in recent years, even looking over a rail from the second story of a hotel lobby made me squeamish. He said, “Let’s fix that.” And in about four minutes of my tapping on a place on my face under my eyes, my fear was gone. I had to go on a business trip and my room was on the third floor of the hotel. There was a rail on the balcony overlooking the atrium and I was looking at the people below and suddenly realized that all the squeamishness I had in the past was gone. In fact, previous to this I was very cautious about getting anywhere near the rail because of how it would make me feel. It was amazing! I had forgotten that I had a fear and when I was at the rail. All the fear, squeamishness and nausea was gone! I actually enjoyed the view!”

-William Sommers,
President, Pressure Systems International, Inc.

Here’s another testimony.

“I must share another experience concerning my wife. She had always been very scared of heights, particularly while driving in the mountains with cliffs dropping off hundreds of feet at the edge of the road. When she had to drive to our summer place in the mountains she used to get almost frantic with fear.

After one 10 minute Acu-POWER™ treatment all the fear was gone and now she actually enjoys her drives in the mountains!”

-Paul T.

As you can tell from those examples a fear of heights is not something you have to live with but something you to can be in control of. Read more in my book Freedom From Fear Forever.

Test Anxiety

Today I want to talk about test anxiety. Although Test Anxiety is usually reserved for the young, it can negatively affect adults too. Not only does it affect tests but many of the same feelings surface before a music recital, school play or even business presentations.

Children take the most tests.

Think how you felt the last time you had to take a drivers test or pass an exam to maintain your professional status or standing.

Many people never get over those feelings they had as a child, even into adulthood.

Test Anxiety is usually a combination of …
* The fear of failure
* Anxiety about loosing control
* Performance Anxiety

Because Acu-POWER™is so simple to learn and so quick to do. Many parents teach their children the technique. and will use it right before a big test or any kind of performance. The technique is so quick a child can do it. Weather it’s in the class room, bathroom, car or anywhere they feel comfortable before they need to perform at their best.

Here is an example of how Acu-POWER™ can help. One of my patients; who is an insurance agent and represents several companies selling stocks, was getting ready to take an examination in order become a Financial Adviser. She had failed on several previous attempts even though she knew the material.

She had a Test Phobia; her mind went blank, she couldn’t think, words blurred together, her mind raced. She was fearful she wouldn’t succeed.

Having cured her of a fear of dogs several years prior, she came to me again. In just twenty minutes of treatment she released her fear of the examination and went on to pass it. She felt at ease while taking a test, for the first time in her life.

“I had failed several times to qualify for the LPGA due to my extreme anxiety about someone watching and judging me during my qualifying examinations. After just one twenty-minute session of Acu-POWER™ was able to take and pass my examination with full confidence.”

-Kodi O’Farrell, LPGA Phoenix, AZ
