EFT for Chronic Disease

Written live earlier this morning…

A potential client has just left, stealing two of my office keys, because I declined giving him a massage without payment. He was rude and obnoxious from the start. This to be honest, is not entirely his doing, as he was sold a voucher which was not given to him, and he thought that I could somehow claim it. I explained to him that the last time I gave a massage in good faith, I was resentful and wary for two weeks, and after much chasing of the client, by which time I had spent all what I was due in phone calls and such, I finally got paid and decided not to do that again. The client got, perhaps understandably furious. He was much stronger than me, so my instinct kicked in. I fled the office and said at the door that I was going to call Security to call the Police if he did not leave. I went to call Security, the lift had a slight malfunction, and I ended up back on my floor, only to see him jeer at me as he went in the lift I had just vacated. On entering the office, I found he had stolen the keys.

OK – now I have news that I have just received! The building supervisor has just been and to be honest, these are the figures. I had been meaning to get a spare set cut. The cost of me getting them cut was R35 each, totaling R70. This emergency meant that I had to ask the building supervisor for two sets instead, but because the building owner had a deal with the key shop, it ended up costing me R10 a key, a total of R40, and they also added two key fobs totally free of charge! So I saved R30 by this silly theft.

However, although the savings and the convenience of having a shiny new set of spare keys has really cheered me up, on a scale of 10-0, I am still a 4 in feeling shaken. So I tap…

Setup
“Even though I am shaken and scared, I deeply love and accept myself”
Reminder
“Shaken and scared”

Setup
“Even though clients like him are threatening and scary, I deeply love and accept myself”
Reminder
“The whole (client’s name) experience”

I then tapped as I thought of other courses of action that could have calmed the situation. I tapped for doing my best under the circumstances, how I was warned that this will happen, by others who had it done to them, and that I took a stand on being paid because I have to keep my business going, and how much I loved my business and was not going to see it fail due to giving too much, then I forgave myself for taking a hard stance. I do not know how I will react next time somebody does this, but I want to make sure that I grow my business enough never to have to be in this situation again. I forgave myself again, I forgave the potential client, and I feel at a zero with regards to this incident now. I am still mulling over how I can best handle this situation when it occurs again in the future. It is hard in Cape Town, where people are not given respect for who they are or the work they do but by the material goods they possess. I am sure I will not always get it right, and one day, I will have to actually go as far as calling the police, and I am making peace with that.

When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse. EFT is one way of throwing away the emotional rubbish collecting in your system. In the same way that we dispose of our household rubbish regularly for home cleanliness and hygiene, I use EFT to dispose of negative emotions for my optimal physical health. I call an emotion anything that your mind or body says to you, from fear to constricted airways. My health was not always as good as this. Please go back to around 2005 on this blog to get to the worst postings (when I was often bed-ridden, unable to breathe enough to get out of bed), if you are looking for how to tap for those really bad days of health. —

I got the chance to get a lovely cupboard and workspace for my clinic earlier this week and spent most of the day helping to assemble it. My right knee this time (my left knee is healed now) has been injured, and today was supposed to be the first day I could go running for the past week! And my right big toe joint is unhappy too.

I put Epsom salts on the affected areas to loosen up the tightness, and now I tap.

Setup
“I promise my knee and toe joints that I will take it easy in my workout today. Even though this is my first chance to go to the gym for a week, I still promise to take it easy on my joints today. I deeply love and accept myself”
Reminder
“I choose to enjoy a good and safe workout today.”

At the gym a couple of days ago, I was stretching-and-tapping as usual after my workout. My hips have been tight lately. I started tapping on the tightness on the right side of my bottom, saying “Even though I have this pain in the ass,…” and thinking of incidents, situations, and people that could be a pain in the backside for me. Suddenly, I got the feeling that I should be tapping on something else. My groin was tight, and (sorry if this offends) I just got the feeling I must say “Even though I’ve been shafted,…” – Wow! Immediately 2 people who had taken advantage of me (pre-EFT days) came to mind. I kept tapping on this strange new statement, and my groin relaxed much further. Amazing.

My hip has been a challenge lately. A visit to the chiropractor helped slightly, but in Cape Town, all chiropractors I have experienced, however well-recommended, give a very poor service. After tapping on that for two days, I decided on attending every stretch, Yoga, and Pilates class I can, and to get regular massages. I am also using Epsom salts and progesterone cream, the combination of which is great. Every day, my hip is improving. This helps me to run, which helps my lung. I will be getting my SI joint properly sorted when I am in the UK in April, if there is any problem remaining, that is. I think it is unlikely, as today, my hip feels amazing. If you want to catch me in the UK, I will be presenting an aura scanning and chakra colour healing course for EFTers to take their EFT to new horizons.

All of today, I have been wanting to spend what I do not have to spend. I wanted:

• An ice-cream when I was not in the least hungry.
• A magazine when I knew there was no way I could find the time to read it.
• Clothes that I simply did not have space for due to moving house and packing.

I was also considering not to place advertising scheduled for tomorrow, which would almost certainly lose me money.

The list goes on, but you get the picture. I wanted to spend, spend, spend and was reticent to make money, for no obvious reason. And then it dawned on me. I am at the start of a new phase in my business well-being. This is where I finally go one step further in moving financially forward since getting smokers lung about 25 years ago. I feel scared. All my muscles are tense. Part of the fear is in case yet again this time, I don’t make it. But that is absurd, because if I spend wisely, I will make it. And even though half my business or more is by referral, I still need to advertise. Of course, it may be that this month’s scheduled advertisement brings me nothing, but that is a risk that needs to be taken. And if I don’t take that risk, then I have to rely almost purely on referrals. I think I am so scared I will fail that I was trying to make myself fail to prevent raising my hopes up, only to be disappointed again. On a scale from 10 to zero, the feeling that I will be disappointed again is a 9. So I am tapping…

Setup
“Even though I am terrified that it is all going to fail, yet again, and I will have egg on my face, yet again, I deeply love and accept myself”
Reminder
“Terrified that it is all going to fail, yet again, and I will have egg on my face, yet again”

It’s down to a 2. So I am now tapping it again.

It is now a near-zero, and I have a plan to safeguard at least half this plan. That really helps.

I love seeing clients. No matter how challenging the situation, I handle it with ease. But when it comes to learning new tasks on the computer, that is a whole new story. My business is going in a new direction, which means new things to learn, and I am really struggling with it all. It is a direction I am excited about; it´s just the learning period that is really getting me stressed.

On a scale from 0-10, it is definitely a 10. Tapping..

Setuup

¨Even though there is soooo much to learn, and I can´t remember half of it, I accept myself anyway¨

Reminder

¨Soo much to learn¨

Sigh… Down to a 7 out of 10.

Setuup

¨Even though it´s totally overwhelming me, I accept myself anyway¨

Reminder

¨Overwhelming me¨

Down to a 4.5. And I am thinking more clearly now. For example, I had signed up to two webinars on the subject, and now I have decided not to attend them. I will learn more when I am ready. There is no need for over-doing it. I am a slow learner of practical computer tasks, and there is no point in forcing myself to do it any faster.

And I am not going to spend all night tapping either. I will tap some more tomorrow. Actually, it has now gone down to a 3, a kind of delayed reaction. Till tomorrow…

Happy Tapping!

Wow I found out what people mean when they say they want to stop eating! I am running a Reiki workshop today and writing on a break. Earlier, I had put peanuts out for my attendees, after which they went out to lunch. I could not take my eyes or thoughts off the peanuts and kept eating them and topping them up. Every time I thought I could stop eating, I found myself reasoning “just one more bit”. So I started tapping: “Even though I have this peanut desire…” No change. I ate some more, and they still tasted delicious. I was not physically hungry, though, surely. So I tapped again: “Even though I need this protein…” No change. “Even though I want this salt…” No change. “Even though this reminds me of when my beloved bought me peanut butter…” The taste started to turn bitter in my mouth. After a few rounds, I did not want any more peanuts for now. Success.

I am tapping, stretching, and doing remedial exercises for an injury I exacerbated when I ran my half-marathon. It consisted of my left knee and right hip. My left knee is almost back to normal function and no longer hurts. My right hip feels much better but still needs work. Three weeks ago, I was sitting in my Cape Town clinic in-between clients and decided to muscle-test for which muscles, bones, tendons, or ligaments were involved. I started with just around my right hip and from my left knee down. If you are new to muscle-testing, it is a technique from Kinesiology and involves using a muscle for bio-feedback of what is wrong. I used my anatomy and physiology book and a simple finger muscle to test. The following is a list of what came up, which I decided to tap on until all symptoms went, or until I felt like testing again to see what remains and what else needs healing.

Right hip:

• Sacrum and coccyx
• Gluteus maximus
• Gluteus minimus
• Obturator exrernus
• Piriformis
• Deep transverse perineus

From the left knee down:

• Patella
• Poplitial fossa
• Popliteus
• Tibialis posterior
• Plantaris
• Patellar ligament
• Extensor hallucis longus
• Extensor hallucis brevis
• Extensor digitorium brevis
• Metatarsals

I am tapping now on this list, one by one. Whenever I tapped on it before, I ended up falling asleep. This is what tapping on physical root causes does to me. It’s a good sign, as it only happens to me when there has been a shift. I am using this simple tapping procedure.
Setup
“Even though I have this challenge with ………., I deeply love and accept myself.”
Reminder
“……………..”
The ……………. is the body part above. I am also getting my anatomy and physiology book open in front of me, so I can see where this body part is and connect to it better.

Two hours later, I am now finished! I had to take a break in the middle. My legs jumped about when I got to the toes and their muscles. And I can feel my backside relaxed on the right like it has not been for months. This is the first time that I have lasted the whole list. Interestingly, I can see from my anatomy and physiology book what improvements I have made that are related to this tapping over the last 3 weeks, and it is very encouraging.

I choose not to have flu this year. Or if I really do catch it, I choose to have it mild. This is what I did:

• Got a homeopathic preparation of the energy of the current flu strain from White´s the chemist on Parliament Street.
• Got the same of other flus and cold over the past decade.
• Held the homeopathic preparations in one hand and tapped with the other ¨I ask my body to fight this flu. I ask my body to be prepared to fight these viruses. My body calmly and efficiently makes antibodies to these viruses. I deeply love and accept myself. I accept myself and fight these viruses.¨
• I also do this when I encounter a sick person on the bus. I say while I tap I choose to form antibodies to this virus. I accept myself and fight this virus¨.
• I am taking herbal solutions to strengthen my immunity whenever needed.
• I am taking a vitamin D supplement whenever I get little sunshine.
• I am eating the best and most natural food for my body type that I can get.
• I am keeping up my exercise at the gym to keep my lungs healthy.
• I am using the Buteyko method to help me breathe better. So far, Buteyko breathing with EFT tapping were there for me on a couple of occasions recently when I went out without my inhaler and needed my left lung to open at the site of the obstruction.

So, with a mixture of EFT, homeopathy, herbs, and nutrition, I am so far free from cold and flu this year, despite several clients becoming ill with them and being exposed to lots of people sniffling and coughing. If I do get them, I will post about how I am fighting the virus.

(Edited 6 weeks later: I got the flu, but for one-and-a-half days only. I bounced straight back to health, with a minor chest infection afterwards that was remedied with some herbs, and I´m feeling great!)

I started today with some household chores, enjoying my time off, watching the cat enjoy the balcony on a lazy Sunday. As I mopped the floor with our new lovely mop, I was thinking about money, and my main money block – savings. To put you in the picture, when I started EFT tapping in February 2004, the EFT helped me to stay alive from one day to the next, to survive with a roof over my head, and to patch up relations with my loved ones who had suffered greatly with me. Saving money was very low priority, as mere survival was taking up too much of my energy. Now, I am physically better, I am working on healing one thing that went very much wrong in my life after falling ill – money.

As I was mopping, I remembered a vague memory. As a young child, I was saving spare pocket money in my piggy bank. My uncle, who was in the position of a father to me since he died, asked me for that money. He was using all his powers of persuasion (almost begging me), and I remember that the rest of the family came along and persuaded me to hand it over. The final thing they said which persuaded me was that my uncle would give me, when I became 18, a family piece of land that I loved. I believed him. When I became 18, that land was never mine, and upon his death, it was never mine. Now as an adult, I realize that he must have had some huge bill to pay and been desperate for money. My uncle, a real simpleton when it came to handling money, and someone whose mistakes I vowed I would learn from, earned good money and yet never really had anything to show for it. I had vowed not to repeat that pattern in myself, despite illness, but illness takes all your money. however, I am no longer that very sick person, but I still have a problem with savings. As I think of the piggy-bank incident now (which, by the way, was a forgotten memory till recently), I get a 7 out of 10.

Setup:

¨Even though he took my piggy bank money, I´m still a good kid¨ (I am deep in that memory now)

Reminder:

¨He took my piggy bank money¨

Setup:

¨Even though I became 18 and there was no land, I deeply love and accept myself. I forgive myself for believing him, I was only a kid.¨

Reminder:

¨I should have kept my savings a secret. I was a fool. I didn´t protect my savings.¨

Now tapping as I imagine the alternative scenario of putting my money in corners or in the attic behind something no-one would see. I am back there as a child, in my mind, repairing this memory. In the new memory, I am not saving in vain. In the new memory, I never even get to know about this big bill or whatever my uncle desperately needed this money for. In the new memory, I am not promised this beautiful land, and I never aspire to live on it one day. I just save and save, so that I will have this money available when needed. I have a good habit that I protect from the weak uncle with false promises. I am strong.

Tapping:

¨I forgive him anyway. He showed me how not to be a fool. Although logically I learned it, I now energetically learn it too. I now want to be a regular saver.¨

The event is a zero. Not getting the land is a long story. I had thought that because I had broken off with family members when I thought they abandoned me as I became ill (long story), that my name was removed from any will to do with it. Now, I realize that my uncle regularly lied, exaggerated, and promised to people that he tried to make deals with, because he did not know how to negotiate. He just did the same with me, not realizing that I would grow up every day looking forward to being given that land, that in my mind I would every day dream of the house that I would build there, how I was going to take my child to school driving up the steep hill that led to it, how I would set up my work there, how I would grow my family there. I even dreamed to setting up an eco-community on the site. I had great plans, and of course my uncle did not imagine I would even remember his promise. The loss of that land, which my uncle never really meant to give me, still hurts. It´s something like a 3 out of 10, as I had tapped on other aspects before.

Setup:

¨Even though I saved up for it but lost the land of my dreams anyway, I deeply love and accept myself¨

Reminder:

¨I saved up for it but lost the land of my dreams anyway¨

I thought the event was zero. Then I closed my eyes and in my mind heard the beautiful howls of the wolves at the bottom of the valley, and fresh tears are coming to my eyes.

¨Even though I´ll never hear the sound of the wolves from my land…¨

Now I smell the pine trees and cry…

¨Even though I´ll never enjoy those pine trees there, I don´t mind, I can have pine trees in my new home that I am planning for – at least as a bonsai if planning permission is not granted.¨

It feels almost a zero now.  I am tired tapping – been tapping for an hour or so. I feel very peaceful.

I did it!

Score so far..

Suzanne: A lot

Smokers lung: A big fat zero!

2011: Darling half-marathon, 3 hrs 14mins 47 s

EFT tapping statements used:

Oh this hill is oh so steep, but I will not break down and weep!

Oh this road is oh so long, I will I will I will be strong! [In the future tense simply because it rhymed better]

Oh my God, I´m gonna die, I deeply love and accept myself (at the beginning, whilst maintaining 7.2 km/hr for the first hour)

¨New Balance, to the side. No, New Balance, to the back¨ – this was a nasty jibe given by a group of runners who passed me and not exactly said in a nice tone of voice. After this jibe, I fell back and my speed dropped. It took me about 15 minutes to tap the jibe out of my system, and then I worked on recovering my speed again. I also tapped on forgiving them, because they are just a***holes, doing what a***holes do (taken from an original EFT DVD and very apt for the occasion)

Thank you knee, thank you hips (healing statements for my less-than-optimal zones)

This hip pain, I deeply love and accept myself (using Collarbone and 9-Gamut, towards the end, when my hip started to hurt. As a result of the tapping, I changed my running style and also walked a little more, in order to help my body, until the hip joint felt very fluid again)

18 [km] by the 15 [minutes past 11 am] (I said this all the way from the 15 km mark whilst finger-rubbing. I also planned in my head to catch up with the lady whom I thought was the last person to overtake me and offer her some sweets, as she was struggling. I found out afterwards that there had been at least three other people behind me anyway, but it was a good goal, which I achieved. She made it to the finish about 5 minutes after me. Then came the other 3)

Finish by the 50 [minutes past 11] (whilst going up the very steep hill towards the finish and then running-walking-hobbling towards that finishing line – I made it at 11:44:47)

Tapping music used:

This time, I did not bring my iPod, although next time I plan to. However, I played the theme from Superman in my head anytime I needed it, especially towards the end. I also imagined crowds cheering, and played in my head the sounds of cheering crowds. Throughout the sounds in my head, I rubbed or tapped my finger points.

Other techniques used:

The Buteyko breathing method – I kept my mouth closed (except to speak when necessary) throughout the race, monitored my CP before the race, and did my Buteyko exercises at the warm-up and warming up to almost every single training session in the last 8 months.

Please go back to around 2005 on this blog to get to the worst postings (when I was often bed-ridden, unable to breathe enough to get out of bed), if you are looking for how to tap for those really bad days of health. — EFT with Me, Suzanne Zacharia, EFT Practitioner — Stop Smoking E-Book – Guaranteed — Guaranteed Asthma and COPD Buteyko E-Book – Download and start using! — Asthma and COPD Buteyko DVD — EFT Workshops Cape Town South Africa — Low-Cost EFT London UK — Reiki Course London UK — EFT Workshops Essex UK —— FREE EFT Teleclass-Webinar — Disclaimer – You are advised to consult with your medical practitioner before embarking on any course of alternative, complementary, or beauty therapy.
