If I am reversed, what should I do?
Polarity reversal is when your meridians are flowing counterclockwise and all healing is blocked. You know that you are reversed by self-testing the statement I want to be healthy. If this statement tests weak, you are reversed.
If I want to be healthy tests strong, then test the statement I want to be sick. If this statement also tests strong, you are reversed.
As described in Truth Techniques I, where we demonstrate multiple ways of self-testing, holding the fingertips of one hand two inches above the navel will prevent reversal while testing. To determine if you are reversed, do NOT hold this belly point while saying the aforementioned statements. Once you have determined if you are reversed or not, then hold the belly point throughout the rest of your testing process (e.g. to test foods, to test which treatment code will benefit you the most, etc.). This will prevent any reversals during further testing.
Reversals have many effects on people physically and emotionally. Reversals cause different behavior in different people. For those of you who do not know how to self-test, indications that you are reversed may be: you feel clumsy, you start many tasks at once and dont remember what you were doing, you have brain fog, you feel like you are having a reaction to a toxin, you are having physical symptoms, and you feel angry and/or out-of-control.
If you are reversed, you can relieve it temporarily by tapping on the side of the hand (SH point) five times, then under the nose (UN point) five times. Doing this continually has helped many people avoid anaphylactic shock until they could receive further help. As mentioned above, holding the belly point two inches above the navel also stops reversal while you are holding it.
If you know how to self-test, you can ask your body what treatment codes would be significantly beneficial for you to read at this time to clear the reversal. Also, ask yourself how many times you should read the treatment(s) to clear the problem. The universal self-treatments in the client manual are a good place to start. You may also test treatments from Truth Techniques II, III, and IV for a greater breadth of issues (toxin sensitivities, emotional issues, and physical issues).
If you do not know how to self-test, 1) you should learn and 2) read the toxin clearing algorithm in the manual as that is a good place to start. If you were exposed to a strong inhalant or pollen that day, read the inhalant code a few times. If you think you ate some food that may not be good for you, read the ingestant code. If you are not feeling well and think you may have a cold or flu, read the virus, bacteria, and immune booster treatments. If you know you got a spider or insect bite, read the injectant treatment. The bottom line is that to completely clear a reversal, you need to determine the cause of the reversal and read the appropriate treatment code.
If you are unable to determine the cause of the reversal/find the appropriate treatment code and are feeling unwell, call a QT practitioner for help.
