greetings;

I have had extensive nerve pain in both legs 24/7 since November of last year when a slip and fall on ice re-activated an old injury that had been stable for over a decade.

Pain medication barely addresses the pain and this constant pain is once again all encompassing and debilitating to say the least.

Any offers or suggestions would be grately appreciated.

Thank you

Phil

Phil,

I have had some serious pain in my legs,along with a life time of depression. The acupuncturist helped some, but I was able to rid the rest of the pain with eft.  The depression is also gone.This technique is nothing short of a miracle.  I am confident if you do a lot of research on this, like watching all the free videos and using all the sources you can find on the net, you will rid yourself of that pain.  Yes, I am a greenhorn at this, but evidently it doesnt really take an expert to use this method of healing.  However, I was able also to get the help of a great lady who is an inspiration, and help in general, Bobbie Starsky.  She is worth checking out.  Don't give up, the relief is there, cos I'm proof.  :)  Arum

Phil,

You've heard of a tug-o-war? Think of a push-o-war.

The legs are about moving forward--pain is about fear of moving forward.

On one hand you have these dreams and visions and see abundance flowering all around.

On the other hand, there is the barrier that keeps you where you are.

If you keep adding fuel to the dreams and visions, the barrier must compensate to maintain status quo.

When the pressure exceeds tolerances, you blow a gasket. The gasket that blows points a finger at the cause.  

Pressure exceeding tolerance denotes a closed system, whereas I learned  long ago I required methods of controlled release, exactly to avoid blowing a gasket - or I'd have been 'recycled' long ago... I''ve tried many options and am forever greatful for EFT and all the great things i've learned and experienced exactly because of this 'blown gasket' - or disc in this case.... Which shows that while we may think something is wrong and needs to be fixed - it must be exactly what the patient ordered and was ready for.

  Maybe we could look at EFT as cleansing and rebalancing tool, and each of us come to it by our own path, in answer to our own intentions......

It's wierd but I get more relief when I'm working w/ someone on their issues - which is what encouraged me to become a practitioner.

ET I have seen the MRI which shows no disc and direct bone to bone contact with the nerve pinched between them, I choose to believe that I can allow relief from this pain, as I honor and acknowledge this pain, and choose to release it as it no longer serves me. And I do Love honor accept and forgive myself as I am today.

ET I 'know' I have to have this pain because of this physical injury, I also DO KNOW that I can choose to allow relief, and that the bones can even physically move apart to relieve the condition that is the physical cause of this pain.

ET I am afraid to face the emotional cause of what I've attracted into my life, I am greatful for the opportunity to do so, and I do Love honor and accept and forgive myself, and everyone that I blame in any way for being this way.

ET it seems like I get more relief by working with others I choose to  allow the work I do on my own to be just as effective for me as it is for the people who I help. And I give deep and sincere gratitude for my ability to help others and thank the Universe for bringing this to my attention, and providing me with exactly the people I interact with whom together provide the maximum healing and delicious shifting and realignment for everyone and all that is.

So it is

Phil

Thank you ....

Dear Phil,

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate your willingness to share your pain.

I too have some issues that are difficult for me to deal with myself and it is much easier to help others with than to deal with myself.

Here are a few ideas that are rumbling about within me that may or may not help. Did you have a religious belief when you were young that could be affecting you now? For example, I am unworthy or that I am supposed to suffer? Or a belief that has to do with aging and pain? Did you see someone you love age and be in great pain?

My guess is that you haven't gone deep enough—yet. Maybe the pain that you are feeling is trying to tell you that you haven't dealt with this particular emotion. What BIG issue are you trying to hide from yourself? Who or what is paining you? Deal with that issue and bring the intensity down, and you might be surprised to see the intensity of the physical pain going down, too. What if the physical pain is a barometer for your unresolved feelings?

Hope there is something here that may be helpful.

Gratefully yours,

SkyWatcher

Hello JoAnn;

thank you for your suggestions.I've been letting your response sink in to see if anything comes to mind - I'm afraid not. Religion was not a factor in my childhood. Both my parents aged gracefully and passed on relatively easily.

Worthiness has been an issue I address regularly, but it doesn't seem to be the core issue which seems to allude me. Base chakra work/play gets close, and I seem to be heading into exploring ancestral clearing - which also seems to bring this or these core issues closer, but seemingly still just beyond my ability to see them/bring them into focus....

Inner child themes also bring me close yet still just beyond recognition of what I'm seeking....

Some have suggested the physical back/ emotional support connection, which helped lead me to recognizing feelings of being unworthy of receiving from others, which I address daily.

But looking back on where I've come from I am quetly content, satisfied and grateful for the journey, and excitedly anticipating about whats still to come.

Hi Phil.

I am sorry to hear that you are still living with this physical pain and that the work that you are doing appears not to be helping.

Maybe this pain is somehow a gift... That it allows you to have compassion for the ones who are not able to get to their core issues. Or that it is helping you to continue to go deep into all the areas that you are indicating.

Recently, I had the help of two EFT practitioners, and I was trying to clear a physical pain that I have in my leg/butt. I still have the physical pain, but I certainly cleared some emotions.

Maybe the pain is an impetus to you to go deeper, and work to help you clear ancestral beliefs. I know that this might be a stretch, but have you been grateful for the pain? Have you come up with all of the reasons that you are grateful for this problem? To go deeper? To reach out? To receive what you have felt unworthy of?

I took a gratitude diet for a month. Each day I would write a page one what I was grateful for. Then, I would look at the things in my life that I didn't like—and then find something to be grateful for within those issues. Maybe after you receive the teaching or gift that is within the pain it will go away. If the pain had a voice, what would it tell you?

With Compassion and Love,

JoAnn

Thank you JoAnn - I believe everything is unfolding perfectly and can certainly appreciate the many aspects of the effect this injury has had on my life - it's like an old friend now, going on 26 years. I am truly grateful for everything that has unfolded into this life experience, the 'good' and the 'bad', and my new perspective on those two points of view...

An interesting upside is the number of people that I truly believe I have helped since being introduced to EFT. I gain incremental relief with each person that I help....doesn't take a rocket scientest to figure out what that means, although I'm sure there are of course layers to that too -

I'm extremely grateful for all I've learned about myself and about people as a result of the direction my life has taken, as well as for all the amazing education in the healing arts that I've found. I've met and shared and helped and been helped by many amazing people and I'm grateful for each encounter.

I was relatively pain free for 5 years, working full time etc, yet this recent set back sort of feels like 'you didn't get the message last time so let's do it again.....'

Even though I can't see the forest for the trees....

Thank you JoAnn

Phil
