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.

Reading this cancer article brought great sadness. It reminded me of all those times that strictly according to my UK training, I had declined treatment to cancer clients who were refusing to use chemotherapy, and I was prepared to report parents who refused conventional therapy to their children to the authorities, regardless of the circumstances. By the way, that was years ago, and I have never reported a child´s parents for non-compliance with conventional medical treatment. The article also brought up much sadness about what I had to go through in order to get better.  A paragraph basically said that patients may pay with their lives and everything they own for this corrupt medical system that we have today. I cried as I tapped, repeating ¨pay with everything they own¨, until now I feel calm. You see, I had become chronically ill, in my opinion, not only due to mistakes I made in my self-care (that was before I had stopped handing my health over to the medics), but also due to misdiagnosis and therefore the wrong treatment. My doctor also had refused to sign me off as disabled whilst I recovered due to this misdiagnosis, which meant that I could not afford, with two young children to support, to stay at home and recover. I had to continue studying a Honours degree and work weekends, whilst too ill to do so, in order to support my children. A 4 out of 10 remains, for having to earn ever more money now. And I started to tap on it ¨Even though I need to earn ever more money…¨ and suddenly it all went, releasing bitterness, and now I am excited about the next stage in my business plan – and making more money.

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!

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 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.

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 had a tummy bug and so this is my second day properly at the gym, and it’s good that my health is picking up again almost where I left off. I started tapping discreetly by rubbing the finger points against the handlebars, then ended up rubbing some extra points from the Under Nipple down. The statements I used were something like:

“1 minute [at very high speed]” when we had a 1-minute breakaway.

“I can do this. YES I CAN”.

“I am Superwoman” Now that one made me weaker, whereas in the past it had worked. So I tapped on all the issues around it, or should I say – rubbed.

At one point, I felt like I was breathing freely. It was the most amazing feeling, to feel normal again. It didn’t last, but I remember it and hold onto it.

Gillian (worth a visit to Virgin Active in Cape Town’s Tableview – she really gets the music) was saying something to those in the group training for Ironman. At the same time, I happened to be tapping, and all of a sudden it hit me: There is no reason why I can’t make that my goal! OK, I’ll start small, with a small event, and build up. I reckon it will take me 4 years to get my fitness up to the level of entry in a smaller event, but I now plan to do it. I gave myself till January 2014 to become ready. 3 Years and 11 months and counting…

At the gym this morning, I wanted to take the higher weight and really felt I couldn’t do it. So I started tapping “Even though I can’t…”

Then it changed to “I can, I can, yes, I can!”

I took the higher weight. I did it!

Last week, I had a few very stressful days getting on target with work to help my spouse’s work. I did it, but it left me frazzled, despite tapping. I ended up with an all-over rash and my cat allergy went up to 2% of what it used to be at its worst. I had to take antihistamines to cope. And my neck ached and moved to the right. But, I kept tapping on all the issues, and this combined with some gentle exercises and stretches for my neck, all the above are gone.

If you have an issue which returns under extreme conditions, just keep tapping for it, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.

Now I am left with a very slight chest infection, which I am tapping for (“Even though I have this infection in my chest…”) and winning!

I’m drowning in a pile of paperwork due to have been finally sorted two days ago… I’ve tried motivating myself with a walk on the beach after it’s done, etc, all to no avail…

“Even though I dread it…”

“Even though it’s boring…”

OK, I’ll do it.
