thanks

 Hi,

Glad to see helping others use EFT and getting benefit. In my experience, if I use EFT and a symptom comes back, then there is something else to deal with. What did you use for set-up phrases? Did you deal with any emotions--or just the physical symptoms?

I book that I sometimes use for reference is Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life. What she has to say about elbows:

Represents changing directions and accepting new experiences

You may want to ask your friend if there is something in her life that is new and they are having a hard time changing directions with... If so, tap on that. Be sure and check for the intensity before tapping. When you get the intensity down to zero--then check the elbow (check the elbow before tapping, too).

Something else that comes to mind is to ask your friend--after a few rounds of tapping--have them close their eyes and ask the pain in their elbow, is there a message that you have to give me? If there is a message, and the person is willing--then have them tell the pain that they get it and it isn't necessary to continue giving the pain in the elbow. I also would thank the elbow for giving the message.

Hope something here helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

 Hi there,

 In addition to JoAnn's great suggestions, how did your friend get the pain in his elbow? Was it due to an accident rather than a gradual onset? If so, you may want to consider going in and clearing up any trauma that may have been left over from the incident - eg: fear, resentment, anger, etc. These emotions may get stored in the affected area and manifest as pain.

 Hope this helps you :-)

Hello,

Let me tell you my story.  When I first learned EFT, I had a constant neck ache.  Nobody had told me it should disappear in one go, and it had been under regular (and very expensive) professional care for the 5 years, so I had no big expectations.  I tapped for it about 20 times a day for three months.  Every single time I tapped, the pain went and an hour or so later would return, so I would tap again, and so on. To me, given what I had already been through, this was a miracle (expectations again), and I was delighted.  One day, I got up and felt no neck pain.  Then I was tapping less and less on it.  I do have a problem with a disc, so every now and then (maybe once every three months), I get twinges and tap for whatever new negative emotion has crept into my neck, but apart from that, I am free from neck pain now.   A big plus is that with all that tapping, I accessed and released many negative emotions that I would not have been otherwise aware of.  In a way, I am grateful for that compromised disc for showing me what I needed to be free from, if that makes any sense  :-)

thanks to all for their valuable suggestions, setup was: even though I have pain in right elbow I deeply and completely accept myself

first round pain in right elbow, 2nd round remaining pain in right elbow, 3rd round leftover pain in right elbow

how he got pain,around 4 months back he was with his elderly mother who was on wheel chair in a huge religious crowd, and someone who was also pushing a wheel chair forcefully pushed him aside in order to take over, after 3-4 days this pain started 

 please your advice

 hi,

in my opinion, the next step would be to deal with emotional issues with your friend. it sounds like the experience with the wheel chair may have been traumatic for him. you can use the movie technique with him (I have included a link with how to do it).

how did he feel when that person forcefully pushed him aside to take over?  how does he feel NOW when he thinks about that scenerio? if there are emotions--they may be stored in his elbow... some ideas for set-up phrases, even though:

• i feel angry when i think about that person forcefully pushing me aside and taking over i deeply and completely love and accept myself
• i feel shocked that someone at a religious function would forcefully push me like they did...
  

gratefully yours,

might also be connected to his changing relationship with his mother, and being unable to have been gallant enough to properly protect her.

I had recurring pain in my foot and shoulder from rheumatoid arthritis and in my back from a bicycle accident, and some pain in my abdomen from a stab wound.

As I started on the Personal Peace Procedure I noted that I had to tap on the pains in my body less and less. I had wondered about the emotional impact of the past traumas and how perhaps PTSD aggravated them in some way.

It has been 7 months since I had to tap for the pains I've mentioned. I wish I had taken better notes on what all exactly I had done and gone about it but I can say that in some things persistance pays handsome dividends.

Keep on keeping on!

It sounds to me as if what you did worked. Persistance pays of with EFT. 

I know what you mean about notes. It helps to have them if you want to share with others what you said... Sometimes, after I had tapped spontaneously about something--for example, being stung by a hornet, and I had to get where I was driving to. I would take a couple of simple notes when I would get a chance--something to jog my memory as to what I said. Then, later as I got better organized, I started a filing system and would put my notes in my system.

I would encourage you to take notes. They really can be helpful to yourself and others.

Thank you so much for sharing your success. Keep it up.

JoAnn

David,

Thanks for your incredble patience with me as we do this journey together. I had some recurring stuff too.

I had an old injury which kept giving me grief which ended up having the doc giving me alot of pain meds. i didn't like how they made me feel.

After David and I tapped on the pain itself we had some new aspect which seemed to bring back the pain. Time and again we tapped on some aspects and then FINALLY the pain seems to be gone. It's been awhile and I'm grateful to not have to pop a pill for it.
