Two Oceans Half-Marathon Entry Requirement – I Made it!

October 17th, 2010 — 5:00am

I found out yesterday that I am now fit enough to run the Two Oceans Half-Marathon. I nearly did not make it; not for physical reasons, but for emotional reasons. The requirement is to be able to walk 1 km in 8.5 minutes. I made it in 8 minutes and 28 seconds.

Everyone who knows me knows that I fell seriously ill with a lung condition in 1986, which became chronic in 1987 and have since been on the path first to stay alive, and then to get better. Running this half marathon will be quite a testament to all the healing work I have done, without which I should now be either dead or in a wheelchair with an oxygen tank. Let me tell you about my journey yesterday.

It started with a self-healing for abundance and money. Having been living with a serious lung condition for over 20 years, I am at the last stages of paying off the huge debt that I got into. That created in me many blocks to money success. And the day before yesterday, I was working to release a money block, after which I felt great, so I posted something on Facebook saying that I have a new passion. This led to some replies, and then I replied that my plan was to enter a sporting event in 2014, when I reckoned I would be fit enough, but that I would probably be ready for 2012. Then my cousin replied that she would like to join me, and she was thinking of running the Two Oceans marathon next year. At this point, curiosity got the better of me, and I looked up the Two Oceans website. I found out they have a 21 km half-marathon and found out the entry requirements. I decided the next day at the gym, I would go on the treadmill and find out if I was fit enough.

I got to the gym just in time to enter a fun event they were running. It was a two-hour Zumbathon, which was too good to miss. I had to tap during the Zumbathon to stay there, as the compulsion to go to the treadmill was pretty overwhelming at times. I needed to find out so badly! But I knew that if I missed out on the Zunmbathon, I would be disappointed. The same again happened with the stretch class after the Zumbathon. It is really important to stretch as part of my fitness regime, and I tapped to control the urge to skip the class and make a beeline to the treadmill. The tapping was very simple. I just rubbed or tapped my favourite points discreetly as I thought of the urge to go to the treadmill.

Then the stretch class finished. My heart was beating audibly in my chest as I finally went determinedly to the treadmill. After 23 years, was I finally fit enough to do this, or would I be severely disappointed? I got on the treadmill and started walking but realized that I did not know how to measure 1 km in 8.5 minutes. Too excited to do a mental calculation, I got off the treadmill and back to the changing-room, where I worked out that it is around 7.2 km per hour. Then it was a simple matter of knowing that I had to run an average of 7.2 km per hour in order to complete the 1 km in 8.5 minutes. Back on the treadmill, I started walking then set the controls, and walked – and struggled to breathe. At 2.5 minutes, I felt exhausted. I started tapping by rubbing my thumb points continuously on the handlebars as I thought the negative thoughts which were weakening me. My spouse used to be an olympic-grade athlete and is now disabled, and was totally depressed when I had announced my intention to enter the half-marathon. But as I was tapping, my thoughts changed to knowing that if I set an example with my miraculous healing, then my spouse can only be encouraged by that in due course. The walking became very easy after that, till about 3.5 minutes, when I had the fear of failure weakening me. So I tapped in the same way while saying to myself:

I can´t make it – I can make it – I can´t make it – I can make it.

The tapping changed what I was saying to:

I can make it. I can do it. I can.

Then at 5 minutes, I wanted to make sure I did this. I spoke in my mind, whilst tapping continuously, giving every cell in my body a one-word message:

Health

At 6 minutes, I felt that every cell in my body was understanding the new command and was doing what was required to be in a state of health. Then, to be extra sure, I visualised myself wearing the shirt with lots of numbers on it, like the guy in the picture on the two oceans website. I imagined myself running with a few people in front of me (as is physically realistic) and lots of people behind me. Then I continued tapping as I approached 8 minutes and 28 seconds to stop myself from crying with joy in front of everyone at the gym!

If you are planning to go and want to meet up, let me know! Now what remains is to wait for the Two Oceans website to be ready for me to pay them and officially enter. I hope I have not missed out for this round. If so, I will simply enter the next one. I eagerly await this to happen.

3ala Dal3ouna Ala Dalouna

…  Ra7ou L 7abaieb Ma Wadda3ouna..

(Gone are loved ones without saying goodbye to us)

Phew!

OK, I went on youtube a lot this week since we finally have unlimited internet in South Africa. And wham! It hit me! This song (and a few others) brought so many feelings about being away from family all over the world, especially one aunt and cousin that I really need to contact but cannot trace right now – although I am getting more ideas as I tap.

Ala Dalouna

So, 12 hours of listening to youtube and tapping constantly on a day off. I tapped over and over again, downloaded the lyrics, tapped and tapped and tapped till I can listen to it and dance and smile instead of cry and cry. Of course, it was not they that left without saying goodbye, it was me. It took 12 hours to see it in perspective.

So youtube’s on the other computer playing continuously as I work.  I want to learn the words or at least some of them so I can sing along.  Mind you, I think I’m getting bored with it now.

Do you have a song that brings up negative feeling? You can play it and tap along.

Can’t sleep

April 25th, 2010 — 6:28pm

My spouse is down to one small contract for now and I worry about when the next one will happen, as it is mainly down to me right now. So I am up worrying. Of course this won’t help anything.

Setup

“Even though I worry and can’t sleep, I trust the Universe will provide, even if not just yet”

Reminder

“Grrr… Why not just yet? I want it and I want it now”

“Can’t sleep”

Yawn…

Tired…

“Can’t sleep”

Yawn…

Going to bed…

EFT Tapping at Virgin Active Tableview in Cape Town Spin Class

January 31st, 2010 — 6:05am

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.

bicicletta_cycle_archite_01

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…

Setbacks are OK

November 6th, 2009 — 2:51pm

In the last two weeks, I moved home, had an enormous amount of emotional and physical stress, and as a result:
- On about 4 days, I took painkillers for headache;
- I had not been to the gym since my last post till this evening;
- My jeans feel tight, so I guess I’ve gained weight (with all those takeaways);
- I feel unfit and have been taking my inhaler more.

So why am I saying all this? Because I have been through setbacks like this before and came out the other end. Because I know that there are many EFT tappers out there who get despondent when they get a setback. Watch this space and see me get out of this and go forward once more.

Till then…

Yes I Can Tapping

October 18th, 2009 — 8:48am

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!

Rash, neck pain, and cat allergy – gone again

October 15th, 2009 — 11:30am

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!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 11th, 2009 — 2:33am

Ohhh this is how I feel right now. A supplier messed up and another supplier has problems, and I know logically this is just part of doing business, and losses of money on these occasions  have to be built into every business plan, yada yada yada, but I STILL FEEL SH*T!

My heart is beating really fast, my cat allergy ip up to 5% of the worst it used to be, my throat constantly feels like I’m being strangles and my thyroid feels bigger on the right. I guess that’s a 2200 on the 10-0 scale.

Setup:

“Even though …. is strangling me in my throat, I deeply accept myself”

Reminder:

“I respect [this supplier], I just wish she wasn’t strangling me in my throat”

Down to 19 out of 10..

Setup:

“Even though …. is strangling me in my throat, I DEEPLY AND COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF”

Reminder:

“I respect [this supplier], I just wish she wasn’t strangling me in my throat”

SUDS 3 out of 10..

Setup:

“Even though …. is strangling me in my throat, even though it CAN be fixed by Monday, she f***ed me over and I need to blame someone, I DEEPLY AND COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF”

Reminder:

” [Supplier] strangling me in my throat”

SUDS down to 2. Now I can go to the clinic and start work. I’ll keep tapping on this throughout the day to minimize the effects on my health.

Nazis are nicer in books

September 3rd, 2009 — 3:13pm

Oh goodness, there is some Nazi legacy from my newly adopted country’s past. When it was something I read about in books from the comfort of my British home, or from the relative safety of my Lebanese upbringing, it was far-removed. But here in this country of my spouse, oh, I’m honored they let me stay but when I meet the odd Nazi, it is still such a shock. I tapped and tapped and tapped today and I am calmer about a Nazi incident, but I am tired tapping, and it is only down to a 4 from a 10. I will have a rest and tomorrow will come back here and tap some more, as I know it is not helpful for me to carry this pain and shock. Or maybe I’ll tap npw… OK…

“Even though …. is a Nazi and it shocks me to the core, I wish … love”

“Even though ….. the Nazi attacked me, I wish … love.”

Down to a 3.

“Nazi, I choose to channel love to … anyway, love in unconditional, and … can choose to accept it or not, I channel it anyway”

My supervisor says it is a power trip.

“Even though … is a Nazi on a power trip, I deeply love myself and channel love to ….. anyway”

“Even though ~I feel it in my throat, my throat is closing up, I deeply love myself and am willing to one day forgive …. ”

Reminder:

“Nazi … in my throat”

Down to 1.98 in my throat.

“Even though I still have this Nazi … in my throat, and I just want to f…..g kill the b…, the f……ng Nazi ……, I DEEPLY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF”

Reminder:

“Fu…..g stupid f……g w…… the fuc….g b…. wtf did … think … was doing, how DARE … Nazi b…. that … is may you rot in hell you absolute piece of sh.. under my shoes, you filthy Nazi excuse for a human being.”

Throat feels better… I am now imagining facing the Nazi person and shouting at them what I’d really like to say but can’t.

“F…….g Nazi f…..g b…. f…..ng hehe you don’t even f…, it not in the Nazi teachings you stupid horrid excuse for a person, you don’t even f… – not in your Nazi upbringing is it, you twisted fu….d-up sad little excuse for a human being”

“Scumbag”

“……… scumbag”

“scum of the earth”

“Hitler is dead, move on you stupid b….”

“You can’t bully me you stupid b….”

“NO, I say NO, NO and NO and it will never be any more than NO”

“Oh why on earth did I move to this place? Why didn’t anyone tell me there were Nazis here, just like Hitler?”

“Nazis were a hell of a lot more manageable in books. They are definitely hell in person”

“They have their personal hell. Rot in hell Hitler. I know I’m meant to be spiritual but I’m ANGRY”

“Even though I’m ANGRY, I deserve love”

Down to 0.768

“Even though I’m ANGRY, I deserve love”

0.5

I’m really too tired now. I’ll rest for now and carry on tomorrow. I feel a lot better.

Anger at being ripped off – EFT provides a calm plan

August 25th, 2009 — 1:10pm

I have been ripped off by supplier (on the day I found out for sure, I got an email from a well-wisher innocently saying “Welcome to Cape Town”. That really encapsulates it all. The rip-off merchant got me and my partner in this venture to open and run company at a cost we could not afford, lying that that was part of the process we needed to go through before we got our dream, our non-profit charity to help people. How heartless of that person, and now we are lumbered with an additional bill to close down this company and do a tax return at another huge cost, for no reason. I won’t say more here in case of libel charges, but basically, my head is throbbing, I want to kill someone, and I need to work more, harder, etc, in order to pay off this extra bill.
Tapping:
“Even though I’m mad…”
“Even though … lied to us…”

Now I am starting to calm down. From a 10 to an 8.
“Even though this is costing way more than we can pay right now….”
“Even though we’ve been ripped off…”
“Even though now I have to find more money very quickly…”
Now it’s down to a 6. I remember that I will be changing this supplier, but sadly, there is a large bill we were not expecting that has to be paid, and we still have to pay the real non-profit start-up costs, finally, from a genuine person with a conscience and professional pride.
“Even though this has been a costly lesson, there is nothing I can do about the past except learn from it, I’ve learned my lesson and now I move on”
It is down to 1, as it genuinely is a large financial burden from which I will have to somehow recover, so I don’t think it can go down further for now. However, I do have a clear plan of action.

If it wasn’t for EFT, I honestly would have ended up with massive pain in my shoulders, plus I would have spent money and eaten compulsively. This is a very big issue, and I feel calm about it now. I did give the person a peace of my mind earlier, though reasonably calmly, and I had put the phone down when they tried to accuse me of not understanding, when they had lied over the phone yet again.

OK – “Even though that f….ng ….. ………. …… b..ch f……ng lied to me, that f…ing lying scheming conniving f….ng lying f….ng b…ch!!!!!!!!!! :-D Oh well, she’s a truly unhappy person anyway, and I don’t need to waste my energy on losers like her. She’s even less than a loser -oh I can’t be bothered with this anymore” :-D
