| correct a golf swing fault? | | | | Of course there is going to be trouble. |
| I know that when I first starting learning this game it | | | | And here is the really sad news - science tells us that |

| put together what is called a "motor engram". This is | | | | EP can "clear" negative feelings and emotions by |
| basically a movement pattern that becomes | | | | "tapping" on certain points on the face and body, |
| programmed into our computer (brain). | | | | while focusing on the feeling. What I realized is that |
| You develop motor engrams all the time for | | | | the major problem with implementing new golf swing |
| repeated tasks. For example, most everyone can | | | | mechanics is that they usually felt awkward, |
| stick their car key into their ignition without one bit | | | | uncomfortable, weird, etc. So EP can eliminate those |
| of thought. Your body/mind has a motor engram | | | | feelings, by-pass your current motor engram and |
| that knows the height and angle for the key to fit | | | | dramatically reduce your learning curve. |
| perfectly, without you thinking about it. | | | | Instead of 10,000 repetitions, your golf swing can |
| Get a new car, however, and you're going to miss | | | | feel comfortable and confident in 1 minute. By getting |
| quite a few times. At the very least you are going to | | | | past your imperfect motor engram, your learning |
