There's been some amazing stories about the ability to provide healing for other people who can't or won't try the therapy for themselves. Surely this must convince the most blinkered sceptic that the system works. I've been fascinated to learn that tapping has even proven to work on animals and have tried it for myself. I recently bought my children an aquarium. They are very young and have never had a pet before. I decided on fish because they were low maintenance. I bought 6 tropical fish and the children loved them. However after a few days I noticed their tails and fins start to appear ragged and a slimy coating on their bodies. The next morning 2 were dead and the children were distraught. We all tapped together to calm them down and then I thought "Why not see if we can may the fish better?" So we all sat around the fishtank and trying tapping on a number of meridian points. The folloing morning I almost didn't dare look at the aquarium in case more fish were dead - but they weren't! Encouraged we all tried the tapping exercise again and over the course of a week the fishs' fins grew back to their previous state. Has anyone else tried anything similar? I can let you have details of the meridians that seemedto work for me if you're interested.

Great job with your pets ... don't tell anyone (<grin>) but my children and I have tapped for my husband's truck when it was acting weird and it seemed to help .... 

Surrogate tapping,, remote healing, animal healing, inanimate objects -- all very interesting subjects I agree.

I find my animals so responsive .. I guess they are more in alignment than humans are ...

 

Fantastic. As Gary Craig always said: try it on everything, what have you got to lose? You also just showed your children the power of intention with tapping. Excellent.

 Hi Everyone,

I want to thank you so much for this post. I've been heartbroken because my kitty, Oreo was sitting outside last night and was attacked by a cat with claws.  

To make a long story short, I was wondering if anyone here can guide me as to how to so surrogate tapping to help him heal faster. We brought him back from the Emergency Animal Hospital this morning at 4:30 and he looks so sad and sullen. I just want to reassure him that he is safe and loved. I'm deeply concerned that at one time before we adopted him, he was abused and this incident may have retraumatized him again. 

Many thanks for your kind and loving thoughts.

Warmest regards,

Andrea 

Hello, What you experienced was an example of one of the many theories of quantum physics. Everything is energy, energy transcends our 3rd dimensional time and space. So coupled with your "intention" to heal the fish, and acting as surrogates for the fish, you released energetic blockages in the fish, which allowed their energy to circulate through their bodies and allow the body to heal. I am also sure you opened your hearts and sent unconditional love which is the highest vibration that we know about in this point in time. I tapped for a client's Lion fish that wasn't eating due to an emotional issue with him, his human friend, and the food he was being given. Tapping on releasing the emotion cleared the blocked energies and he began to eat again. I could relate so many other stories, but no need to because you have figured it out. Keep up the healing work. I work on my animals weekly, like a preventative. Do this weekly, it will clear out energy blockages and prevents them from becoming physical issues, and the dogs love when i tap along each side of the spine, and on the top of their head. When i need to tap on the other points, i use myself as a surrogate.

Andrea, EFT can be of tremendous help for both you and Oreo. Begin to tap for him for his trauma and past trauma. When i work with the animals, i am the surrogate, i will tap for the issue and alternate with positive affirmations. For instance: (tapping as a surrogate for Oreo)Even though i feel frightened and don't feel safe, i deeply and completely love and accept myself. This is the set up phrase, 3x, then begin tapping on the points saying, frightened, fearful, worried about my safety, or using the adjectives that you picked up from Oreo. Do the long procedure, including the 9 gamut, NLP parts. Do several rounds, notice if he is softening, or giving you a big yawn, (that is what we call an energetic release, know that he is releasing some of those frightening energies that are in his energy fields and cellular memories). If he goes to sleep wonderful. As you continue, remember when saying the set up phrase to add the word still, you can begin to modify your statements to match his demeanor, if he has been releasing, you might say: "even though i am still a little frightened about being attacked again by that cat, i deeply and completely love and accept myself. the next phrase can say, even though i am still a little frightened about being attacked again by that cat, I trust Andrea will protect me, and i know she loves me. Later towards night, i alter the procedure slightly, for humans, night time is when they go into REM sleep, which is the healing period. Cats can do it whenever they nap, but at night i would tap for Oreo and say: even though i am still a little frightened about being attacked again by that cat, I choose to release all the trauma from this attack and all past attacks. Or use whatever words that relate to what happened to Oreo in the past, if you know of any. Other phrases: I choose to feel i am safe, Andrea will protect me, i choose to heal from all the trauma in my life, I choose to release all the trauma that causes me to be in fear and in sadness. And don't forget to tap for yourself, to release your fear and sorrow, or feelings of helplessness to the situation. Hope this helps linda EFT for Animals Moderator
