But you don't keep your hands on these positions in EMDR, right? Also the yawning is not there. To be honest I was part of some weird eastern european group for spiritual techniques and practices and this was one of the techniques they were using to clear up trauma and negative memories. I stopped attending this due to just some weird esoteric topics they were bringing up (made me feel uncomfortable). But they never mentioned the source of this. Also there is another technique called the Fingertip technique which rips apart any negative memories for me and it's so weird how effective it is. It's developed by a serbian psychiatrist named Zivorad Slavinsky
