Well done, Chinookman! Thanks for sharing your successes with us; I ALWAYS love hearing how people help themselves with EFT because it's so motivational for me.

I also want to share a mini success I had yesterday with EFT. I burnt myself quite badly with hot oil, and could feel the characteristic stinging sensation, and knew it was going to become a big blister. I tapped on it, and the stinging immeditely went away. I was unsure whether the blister would still form, though, and when I woke up this morning, the skin was as good as new, and it was almost as if no burn had happened at all.

I hope you have a fabulous 2009, and I hope you've got some great plans for the new year, which EFT is going to help you achieve :-)

Here's closure and an update......

I passed my Biology class with a 'B'. I also used EFT to treat carpal tunnel pain along my whole arm from bad ergonomic desk and computer use. WOW! it worked the pain left before the third round.......the Biology thing was strange........it just got hmmm a bit easier to grasp and the professor became a less of an issue and I was able to help another lady that really struggled; with just a positive attitude and lots of encouragement and helping her with her labs and test studies.

It felt good to give and share with others. I have to say as much as I still doubt if it works all I can say to new users is try it on everything and yes it does work even when it seems that nothing is happening!

So yeah........woo-hoo.....sucess......Thank you all so much for helping out this novice and for the encouragement.

God bless have a have new year all...............!!!!

Hi C-man,

You are still passing--yay!!!

Just wondering, how do you feel about your score being worse? My recomendation is to get down to your feelings. If it were me (and I know it isn't) I would be feeling scared. For me,

Even though I have test anxiety I completely and wholey accet myself""Chinookman:
OK my second test ws a 65 the one prior was a 68...... I do have test anxiety......here is my question.
If my set up phrase is: "Even though I have test anxiety I completely and wholey accet myself" repeat three times and then tap......how many rounds of tapping?
Also reading the Palace of Possibilites would it help to tap afterwards using affirmation phrases like: " I have read and studied my Biology material, and will pass all of my tests".

You help in this is greatly appreciated because I had a friend tell me he had Algebra,test anxiety and had to take his class twice! I will finish this course I erfuse to withdraw or drop out......I will pass but need guidance on how to procedd and release this anxiety.

Thanks everyone...!

--it isn't going deep enough. Do you cuss? If you do, spice it up. GET LOUD!!! What happens if you fail your test? You want to get down to the nitty gritty--get away from the textbook sounding phrases--you want to get to your own self-talk. What are you telling yourself? That is what you want to make into set-up phrases.

Here are some that may or may not work, Even though:

I am scared shi*less that I am going to mess up on this test, and if I do I don't know what I will do, and I deeply and completely love and accept myself
I hate this class, and no one can make me like it...
I don't like it that I am the oldest person in class and I hope it isn't affecting my progress...

Sooooo, if these don't work, send me the ones you are working on, and i will help you with them. Yes, say it 3 times. Before you do that you want to figure out what the intensity is: 10 is the worst. Then when you are tapping on the points on your body, focus on failing the test--you can use a reminder phrase, I find it is best to use one that is humorous like: "stupid **** test".

Personally, I don't start affirming the positive until the intensity gets down to around a 3.

Hope this helps,

JoAnn

A few years ago, I was taking a correspondence course on video. The first 10 minutes the guy was putting me to sleep. I had 24 two hour videos to get through. I tapped on

Even though this guy is really boring...

And I was able to go through the whole course with interest in just the subject matter.

What you tap on is just what you told us. Tap on how unfair you think it is. Tap on how you are not interested in the subject. (Then look for things that are interesting about the subject.) Tap in how you don't get what she wants, Tap on how you are frustrated by her short answers.Tap on your fear of not finishing the degree. Any emotion that comes up is tappable.

Just finished watching a video on EFT tapping points and found some very tender and painfull spots.

Under the arms really surprised me to be so tender and just under and around my nipples.

Also the left inside of the pinky is very tender and teh right side is not.

So now my question is what do I do with this knowledge? to overcome my Biology class if it is related. The professor just replied adding more detailed request to our assignment so it has to get done.

But I'd like to also address the tender spots they have my attention!

thanks.......

Thank you...I will share that one night this past summer during my Bible class or Psychology class I forget which but I woke up in a panic that I had failed a class and I saw the "F" on my grade. I went to sleep and and as I continued to proceed with good results though nah must have been a bad dream.........Then as soon as this class started I got ill inside and "just knew" this was the class!

So this afternoon after half dozen rounds the word panic came to mind. I tapped until the pain under my arms subsided considerably! I was amazed.........I will continue to perform EFT on this one topic until I know that this will be successfully completed. But as with riding a bike I'm on training wheels and appreciate the keen insight you showed.

Thank you and I'll keep this thead posted with progress.

Best regards,....LH

Hello,

You have come the right place. Thank you so much for coming forward to with your issue. I will give you some ideas, and you can use ones that seem the most helpful to you.

Here are some setup phrases for you to play with,even though:

I'm not sure if EFT really works...
some people may think that I'm too old to pull this off...
I don't care about biologyand our teacher isn't much of a teacher...
I'm having a problem with our teacher's teaching style..
the teacher isn't teaching to my learning style and she doesn't seem that interested in me passing this class...
I was told that I would never do much with my life...
they told me I was a loser...
I'm letting the negative opinions of others affect me...
I'm having a problem with completion...
there is part of me is afraid that I can't do this...

Also, get in touch with feelings that you have with this whole situation. The core emotions that are underneath your sweaty palms is what you want get in touch with. Things like: fear of failure; disappointment; anger at the teacher; possibly anger at yourself for believing people from your past.

After you clear some of these core issues, then you can affirm the truth of who you know you really are. I have found that if there is negative self talk that affirmations don't work that well. That is why EFT is so awesome! You can get rid of that negative self talk that's been hanging around in your mind, and then you can affirm that yes I can do this. Yes, I do deserve to finish this class and get my degree.

Please let me know what comes up. You can complete this, even with the teacher that is there.

Gratefully,

JoAnn

Hi all: Here is my story. At 57 I'm taking my last gen. ed. class to graduate from a business school. I have NO interest in Biology and our Prof. is not much of a teacher in the sense that she does teache in a manner that brings about discussions and questions and student interaction like all my other classes. Rather we have a PPT presentation then she will ask if there are any questions to which 21 student sjust have a blank stare and she just smiles. Then later we have a test that is about inter cellular activity about components that I have no clue what or how they work. I e-mail her questions and her answers are rather short and of little help.

My study papers that she give us to look up and write are given the maximum points, the lab papes are given points within a 90% range but on the tests the brain and body seem to have this inner sense of "justifiying failure since everyone else is too.". I want excel and do well and encourage others.

So I want to learn how to tap to relax make the best of this class, learn and pass the tests with a high degree of assurance that I can answer them without sweaty hands and tension and successfully complete my course this Dec. the 16th.

I work full time go to school at night have been at this for over 2 and a half years, this is the last one. I've been told that I would never to much with my life as a kid or that I was a loser and lived such a life. I have asked for God's grace years ago to allow me to live to my fuillest potential regardless of opinions of others. So I don't know if EFT works but I've read enough e-mails that I'm ready to try it.

I'll give my gratitude in advance for someone being kind enough to share their insight with me.

Thank You........
