Welcome. Let’s Begin.

 

Before using any tools, you start with something simple:

  • a moment of reflection.

 

This is the first step of the CEF Method.
It helps you notice what’s happening inside you so you can work with it clearly.

1. The Mirror

A short reflection and grounding technique.

 

How to do it:

  1. Pause for a moment.
  2. Notice what you feel inside.
  3. Sense where the movement or pressure is — head, chest, or stomach.
  4. Don’t judge it. Just see it.

 

That’s the Mirror. This is your starting point for using the method.

2. What You Just Noticed: The Center

Where you feel the activation tells you the center:

  • Head — thoughts, pressure, mental activity
  • Heart — emotion, swelling, tightening
  • Gut — drive, urgency, readiness

 

You don’t need to analyze anything.
Just choose the center that matches what you felt.

3. How It’s Moving: The Operator

Each center has three natural reactions — called operators.
They’re not chosen. They’re already happening.

 

You’ll see them when you select your center.
Your job is simply to recognize which one feels closest to your moment.

4. What To Do Next: The Protocol

Every operator has a short, practical protocol — a tool that helps you:

  • shift the activation
  • move forward
  • avoid getting stuck
  • complete the emotional cycle

 

You don’t need to understand the whole system.
You just follow the protocol for the operator you’re in.

5. Completion

Every emotional cycle ends through Accepting
the operator that brings the system back to rest.

 

You’ll learn this naturally as you use the method.

Choose Your Center to Continue

This is your next step. Choose the center that matches what you felt.

  1. Head
  2. Heart
  3. Gut

 

Each one will show you the operators and the protocol you need.

 

The CEF Method helps you:
  • Identify which emotional center is active (Head, Heart, Gut)
  • Recognize the dominant operator (e.g., Expanding, Boosting, Arranging)
  • Apply structured protocols to modulate and complete emotional processes
 
Whether you're a practitioner, coach, therapist, or self-guided learner, this site gives you actionable tools grounded in the full CEF canon.
