I have had a most unusual thing occur while doing surrogate tapping for a friend. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and if so, how would you explain it?
My friend does a little EFT tapping at the beginner level. I have been tapping regularly for two years and have had some excellent results. A couple of weeks ago, Sharon (not her real name) was diagnosed with skin cancer following a mole removal. Although the prognisis is excellent, she experienced a strong emotional reaction. She asked me to tap for her as a surrogate before and during her scheduled procedure to have the remaining carcinoma cells removed.
I tapped for her on a few occasions with nothing unusual happening. Then, during one session, I suddenly began speaking "as Sharon." It felt as if the words were coming directly from her but through my vocal chords, and she was communicating with me about her condition. She said, "June, I am going to tell you where it's coming from," or words to that effect. She then went on to talk about a situation from her earlier life that caused her considerable distress. She then stopped speaking and I sensed a wave of painful emotion so deep it was beyond words. At that point, I lost contact with her.
A few days later, the second time Sharon began "speaking" while I was doing surrogate tapping, she appeared to be coming from a place of great resistance. She told me to f**k off and stop meddling in her head. I did.
Then, a few days later again, I was tapping for myself, when suddenly Sharon's voice seemed to push its way in and she spoke again. This time, she explained to me where some of her resistance came from -- the cancer fear gave her a focus for her general and chronic anxiety and dealing with it provided a sense of purpose that had been missing in her life since she retired about 18 months ago.
Yesterday, I surrogate tapped during the time of the scheduled procedure. It was a normal tapping session with no sense of Sharon speaking up.
Later in the evening, we spoke on the phone and I told Sharon about the three occasions when she "spoke" to me. She became tearful when I told her about the first occasion. She agreed that she did indeed have considerable emotion around the event. She was surprised by the second occasion and said she had no conscious thoughts of wanting to tell me to f**k off, and she seemed dubious about the third occasion pertaining to focus and purpose. She admitted that she had once felt that way after her retirement but she now considered it to be largely resolved.
So my question -- was Sharon really speaking to me during these sessions? She has sometimes said she has a little psychic ability, although she would not call herself psychic. If she was not speaking to me, where did the information come from? I was not consciously aware of some of these issues -- and our telephone conversation seemed to support at least some of the information that came to me during those surrogate tapping sessions.
This whole thing seems very weird -- although not as weird as I might have considered it a couple of years back.
