EFT for Chronic Disease

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.

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. — EFT with Me, Suzanne Zacharia, Practitioner — Stop Smoking E-Book — Asthma and COPD Buteyko E-Book – Download and start using Now! — 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.

I was struck by how much inhaler I was taking. Two weeks ago, I suddenly ran out and had to ask my spouse to go at the last-minute to buy me more. I realized that I was taking one inhaler a week. Now, for me, anything that helps me survive and heal is good, and this is way under the amount of prescription and OTC medication that I used to take in my worst days, years ago. But it is still too high.

One of the reasons for taking too much inhaler was the way inhalers have changed. The non-CFC kind does not quite reach that part of my left lung which tends to get blocked. And so I was driving it in by 3 consecutive sprays, which I knew were too much. I know that if I use the reliever inhaler too much, it will make my breathing worse. So I tapped;
“Even though I tend to take too much inhaler, I choose to take one spray only, I deeply love and accept myself”.

I could visualize myself taking just one puff at a time. But then, I got a feeling of breathlessness and panic. So I tapped, making sure to also tap with my whole hand down my ribs in a straight line from my UnderArm point, to help my lungs and spleen:
“Even though the thought of just one puff makes me panic, I deeply love and accept myself”.
The panic started to dissipate, but there is one worry on my mind that remains. I do hypnosis, as it is very popular here in Cape Town with people that either do not know EFT or are too traumatized to consider it as yet. And when I give hypnosis, I need my breathing to be as near perfect as possible. I usually would have taken 3 puffs before each hypnosis session, so that I would not cough in the session or run out of breath for clear speech. And I remember a time when I did not do that. Then, all of a sudden, I got a coughing fit in the middle of a client’s hypnotherapy session. As I think about that session, I get a 3 out of 10 in intensity, fear, and panic that I might do it again. So I am tapping:
“Even though I had a coughing fit…”
I feel more relaxed. The intensity of feeling is a 2 out of 10. So I tap:
“Even though it can be disruptive to a client session, the one and only time it happened was over 7 years ago. Once in the 9 years I have been giving hypnosis does not mean I have to fear it recurring. I deeply love, accept, and forgive myself.”
Now, the fear that it will happen again is down to a zero,and my breathing is easier still. What remains is a 1 out of 10 of guilt for that client session 7 years ago. So I am tapping…
Setup
“Even though I have this guilt, I love, accept, and forgive myself, and I forgive anyone else who may be involved in this.”
Reminder
“This guilt.”
I tapped on many other issues as they came up. And now, it is all a zero. I feel absolutely totally relaxed and wonderful. I am aware that my left lung could be more expanded, but I am not panicking about it. I know that I have to wean myself off taking excess amounts of inhaler, and that it’s a process. I feel remarkably calm.

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!)

It is autumn in Cape Town. I live by the sea, where the fresh sea air is lovely. However, right now, the cold makes the fresh sea air like ice in my lungs, especially my left lung, which has the breathing challenge. So, I had to go downstairs to put the clothes out on the line. I was actually trying to avoid that, but our neighbour who smokes (who is a lovely person otherwise, I must add) was in, and I didn´t want to put my wet gym kit on the balcony only to find it reeking of smoke in the morning. Mind you, it is unlikely that this would have happened, as it is rather chilly for going out to smoke in this weather. But I wasn´t taking any chances. So downstairs I went…

And then the cold humid air hit my lungs. So I tapped, my favorite tapping, rubbing the finger points together, as I said:

¨Cold humid air, I deeply love and accept myself¨.

I did this throughout the time I was downstairs and as a result, did not need my inhaler. I even went back up via the stairs rather than the lift. It was easy!

I am a relatively novice runner training for my first half-marathon. And I had to tap as I ran yesterday, as usual, on the shame of being overtaken by another runner. Then I carried on as normal, this time tapping to the theme from Superman playing in my head, with me as the superhero. I was also chanting cheers in my head like “Yes, I CAN”. When I was nearly back home again, the same man stopped me to say that he was impressed with how I overtook him and had so much stamina! I was astounded, and said that I was surprised, because he had overtaken me!

It turned out that his sprint was faster than mine, but he struggled to recover from each one, and his stamina suffered. I actually had overtaken him and run overall faster and further. Wow! And, he was a seasoned half-marathon runner. He said that I was ready to run a marathon and kept marvelling at my stamina.

When he explained how he found it hard to recover from his sprints, he breathed heavily in and out through his mouth. So I gave him a tip for stamina; keep your mouth closed and try to just breathe in and out through your nose, and you will go further. It is just a simple Buteyko thing that I have learned. I chose not to tell him about the tapping, as I felt it would have been too far out there for him to swallow, all in one conversation. Maybe next time, if we meet again.

I use a combination of simple Buteyko breathing techniques and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping to help me run. The fact that I am training for my first half-marathon is nothing short of a miracle to me, as I had been seriously ill with smokers lung for many years. The combination of these two methods works on all my physical and emotional blocks and enables me to run at my optimal best. I am truly blessed to have these skills.

I ran 5 km non-stop the other day. This is how I did it:

Next time, I want to do 5.5 or 6 km!

I am currently training for a half-marathon as part of my way to breathe more easily with smokers lung. I am enjoying the running tremendously, using EFT to make it all much easier.

I said in my previous posting that I will report back – well, I excelled my expectations!

I think I did it because:

• I wrote out the Runners World beginners running program on one sheet of A4 that I put in front of me on the wall next to my computer. So I always see it when working on the computer.
• I worked out the distances involved and wrote them down. This got me more involved in thinking the task, imagining I am there and what that would involve.
• I took a comforting item with me (my mobile phone as my stop-watch) and wore clothes I feel comfortable in.
• I used the Buteyko breathing method to help me build my breathing stamina.
• I worked my legs in the gym using weights, and also attended classes, to strengthen the muscles.
• I used EFT for any block in my path.

I hope this helps motivate you or yours for achieving any sports goal you want. I´ll keep you posted on my progress.

I am petrified. I did a practice run yesterday and it was hard. I am so used to the gym, with timers and absolute control. This is the wild world. So I tapped on it. And I figured out how to use a stopwatch tomorrow to comfort me like in the gym. I am still terrified – afraid of failure.

Setup

¨Fear of failure, fear the COPD will win, I DEEPLY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF¨

Reminder

¨Fear of failure, fear the COPD will win¨

It went from a 7 to a 0.4. I think I can´t get it any lower, as there is a real fear that I might not make it. But as I tapped, I was getting images of me running past certain landmarks, and then continuing running. Actually, now it´s a 0.275, and I feel so good.

Tomorrow morning, I get up and go running. My clothes and everything are ready. I am ready. I will report back after my run!

Suzanne:  5

COPD:  0

This week started today, and I was terrified that this week is the week the COPD wins. I was so afraid that I could not concentrate on anything and had to tap almost continually all day, till I got the guts to go to the gym and find out. At the gym, I caught the Yoga class, and it was very relaxing. Hard, but relaxing. And of course, I tapped at every opportunity there too. After the class, I went up to the treadmill, but decided to build my lungs up properly first. I went onto the elliptical trainer and tapped/rubbed my finger points against the handlebars while doing my Buteyko exercises for lung stamina. I kept going till I could walk the elliptical trainer for just over 10 seconds holding my breath, and then graduated to the treadmill.

On the treadmill, I was calm but still afraid and I tapped while I walked for about a minute, then I really wanted to run, so I started. I am on Week 5 of the Runners World training, and so I had to run 8 minutes straight. I kept tapping:

¨Even though Iḿ terrified, I deeply love and accept myself¨

¨Even though Iḿ so afraid the COPD will win this time, I deeply love and accept myself¨

It was helping, but I needed more, so I shouted in my mind the ¨I DEEPLY and COMPLETELY LOVE and ACCEPT MYSELF¨ and then there was no stopping me. I made myself stop at 8 minutes, rested 2 minutes, then  started again. I finished the next 8 minutes, and there was a smelly-cheap-perfume-spray person just next to me. Now, that obstruction in my left lung means that if anything irritates my lung, it can swell and the obstruction would stop me in my tracks. So I tapped for ¨poison person¨ and then simply changed to another treadmill. I kept going till I did my set of 3 8-minute runs. Then I allowed myself to break into a sprint. It lasted about 12 seconds but it was wonderful.

So….
