In its first aspect, IPBA can be used by any child or adult in order to deal, instantly, with their negative emotions. The French Federation of IPBA is right now organizing workshops to the intention of teenagers who are preparing for an exam, and of young parents anxious to deal with their baby’s emotions as well as with their own fears.

There are IPBA circuits capable of annihilating the following states: depression, panic, hyper emotiveness, negativity, or obsession. Others are capable of “recharging” positively all the energetic centres, or of wiping out the “scars” which have been imprinted into our energetic system by traumatic past experiences. All we have to do is to use the circuits according to a certain protocol, and, in a matter of minutes, we are ready to handle the situation with which we could not cope beforehand.

Anyone of us can use these protocols which are absolutely safe to do on yourself or others.
The only way to build a harmonious relationship with our selves is to boost a sound energetic system day after day; this is possible through a regular use of IPBA. In a way, what we have here is a new hygiene of life.
However, as already said, there’s another application of IPBA which is crucial as well but more particularly aimed at practitioners who have been trained in this field; with much practice, and under certain conditions, it may be used on self as well.

IPBA allows the emotional blocks linked to negative past experiences to be wiped out.
We have to be aware that, any event which has been experienced as negative, especially during childhood, has produced conditionings from which we cannot escape for the rest of our life.

For example, a child, who for some reason has been severely harassed by a teacher during his first year at school (being told again and again how stupid and helpless he was)  will have a good chance to refuse a promising job offer aged 25, because of a terrible lack of self confidence: he will tend to create a repetitive pattern, not because his real nature compels him to act this way, but because of a block which has been produced when he was five and has replaced his original personality.
This lack of self confidence will sabotage his whole life as long as the block remains.

Another example could be the case of a person who accumulates sentimental failures without realizing that his systematic wrong choices are the result of his fear to be abandoned. It will be observed that an emotional block has been produced during his childhood, maybe by a minor event experienced as traumatic: a child, being deprived of a well developed pre frontal lobe, has to rely exclusively on his emotional brain (amygdala and hippocampus in particular) and, as a consequence, finds himself in no position to put things into perspective, hence his facility to create blocks. To go back to the fear of being abandoned, this might be connected to an apparently forgotten incident, such as a stay in an incubator or the parents’ absence for a couple days, in a word, to an apparently minor occurrence which has been experienced as traumatic in a long-forgotten past; yet, once the resulting fear has been firmly “anchored” into the brain, it will waste any future romantic life, as wrong choice after wrong choice will be made.

In the same way, we have to be aware that the impossibility to become pregnant is often connected to unconscious fears or interdictions, which have grown into emotional blocks.

Unsurprisingly, a number of sexual issues are linked to blocks as well…

An emotional block may be compared to a switch on a train track; blocks and switches are totally unavoidable and implacable; as long as they remain, there is no possibility whatsoever to make the train travel in its intended direction, or the brain give a harmonious order. Nevertheless, once the block is removed (or the switch), no additional effort is required for the train to resume its journey or the person to act according to his genuine nature.

IPBA has a similar action on the emotional blocks.

The practitioner’s skill consists in training his intuitive awareness in order to identify the emotional blocks of his patient, and (this is a most important part of the work) to put these blocks into words while applying the appropriate circuit of acupressure at the same time.

Within a few weeks, the result of the session proves remarkable: the patient recovers his self confidence or observes that he has got rid of his fear of abandonment or that his sexual issues have been solved in a pain- free, effortless way, without any agonizing digging into a distressing past.

The only problem that IPBA encounters is paradoxical: the very simplicity of its mode of action and its safety for the patients are so revolutionary that those who have not tried it tend to be skeptical.

Yet, from the time Doctor Delatte invented IPBA, his clinical experiences have exceeded thirty thousand cases; the practitioners whom he has trained have been using this method with extraordinary success as well.

Nonetheless, in the case where another form of therapy is selected, its effect will considerably be improved by the combined action of IPBA: results will be obtained in a much shorter time, hence the benefit for the professionals to add IPBA to their existing therapy.

To recap:

• IPBA is a technique which gives us the means to control our negative emotions instantly; this self-treatment may be used by anyone and may be defined as a part of a new hygiene of life. This technique is taught through workshops level 1 and is the subject of Dr Delatte’s first book “Cinq points, un point, c’est tout” (“ Five points that’s all”) (published by: Trédaniel, Paris) and second book on babies. (“Cinq points pour mon bébé”) (“Five points for my baby”).

• IPBA is also a technique which is used by practitioners or by the participants of workshops 2, 3 and 4. In that it allows the removal of emotional blocks inherited from the past, it makes it possible for us to claim back a harmonious relationship with ourselves and to put an end to our repetitive failures. This second aspect of IPBA is really revolutionary as already said, because no effort is required from the patient who does not have to travel back to a past which may prove to be excruciating: the patient is NOT made to relive past experiences, and he is NOT asked to explore the causes of the events responsible for his issues. This is the topic of Dr Delatte’s forthcoming book which is due for September 2010, “Libérez- vous de vos blocages” (Published by Trédaniel, Paris) (“Free yourself from your emotional blocks.”)
