EFT: Relief at Your Fingertips

I have a dear friend with Lymes disease. I won't go into it here, but it has made her sick for much of the last ten years of her life. I take ticks seriously. So when I came back from the country with a tick, I talked my reluctant doctor (?) into tests for Lymes and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I had the latter.

She gave me 10 very large anti-biotic pills with the words, "You should take them on an empty stomach, but you won't be able to so eat". Now, I normally would have taken that advice, but I remembered my friends and decided to go Commando, so to speak.

Sunday am, I stood by the sink and took the first one on an empty stomach. I don't know how I got to the bed, but next thing I knew I was laying there, nauseous from hair follicle to toe nail, praying for God to take me.

I couldn't get up to get anything to help and don't know what it would have been anyway.

Then I remembered something in the training I was taking for this new EFT. I remembered that the under eye had something to do with the stomach. I started to tap under both eyes and before I knew it, I was ok. It was hard to believe I had felt that sick just moments ago.

I tapped my eye before each of the next 9 pills. I took them all on an empty stomach, but never had the problem again.

My nausea was do to some pretty strong anti-biotics. and it went without my even using a phrase. Just getting the flow of energy moving through the meridian to the stomach.

However, had there been an emotional issue that either stood alone, or complicated my stomach problems, it would have focused on that.

"Even though I am nervous about that meeting in five minutes."

"Even though my boss gives me knots in my stomach"

Now remember, when you are at home you can do the whole round. However, knowing about the under eye spot is very handy for a quick treatment. The under eye area is easy to tap without drawing too much attention to yourself. Or you could briefly excuse yourself to the bathroom for some brief tapping session.

You always have your fingers, if the problem is stomach related, you can get relief quickly.

One night during a group that I ran weekly, one of the members was in terrible pain. He had an abscess in his tooth and the pain would not stop. His dentist had given him anti-biotics and pain killers, but it would not stop.

A stoic guy, he went on with his life through the pain, but that evening, it was getting to be too much.

He had always been a skeptic about EFT, but I suggested that we try it anyway. He agreed, knowing that he had nothing to lose and at that point he would have done anything.

I could have seen if there were any emotional issues that were increasing the pain, but instead, I jumped right in with a whole round, nothing fancy, just "Even though I have terrible pain in my tooth, I totally and completely and profoundly love, honor and respect myself", while doing it.

One round, the pain was gone. In fact, it didn't come back. He had two good days before he went to the dentist on Wednesday.

Does it always work? I don't know, but it worked for him that night.
