I have literally copied and pasted for you from a book I wrote for my clients. I hope it translates well.
What You Feel
What irritates you? What weighs you down? Do you carry the world on your shoulders? Who just can't get off your back? What do you find a pain in the neck?
Time and time again, I find that there is an emotional component to joint pain. It may be big or it may be small, but eliminating it is the easiest part for most people.
Muscles have a memory. Your muscles can even be locked into an event that your conscious mind has long forgotten.
Your lymphatic system helps to move the chemicals your body makes in response to stresses such as fear or feeling angry. If you produce more than your body can handle, it makes sense that it can increase pain.
So, ask yourself: What irritates me? Common emotional pain components are listed below.
An event that preceded or accompanied the pain, such as a physical accident or an emotional event.
- Rejection
- Fear
- Unexpressed anger
For each of these emotions, list 1 separate actual event that typify these emotions. For example, Mary’s rejection events are:
- The time when Laura and Errol ambushed her outside school and stole her phone.
- The time when Mary’s ex John said he wanted to finish their relationship.
- The last time that Mary’s mother was dismissive in a phone conversation.
- Last Tuesday in the restaurant when the waiter put Mary at the worst table.
- Two years ago in January when Mary got sacked from her job.
Now list yours. But we are not listing them just for insights. We are listing them so that we can release them. EFT is a great way to remove negative emotions. If you don’t know EFT, get the FREE EFT Manual here:

Now let us make EFT Statements for Mary’s rejection. For simplicity, I will illustrate with the last example.
Setup:
“Even though I got the sack from work in January two years ago, I deeply accept myself”
Reminder:
“Getting the sack from work in January two years ago”
Mary taps on this specific incident until it has no intensity for her. It may take one minute, one hour, or one month. It does not matter how long. Persistence and perseverance pay great dividends. When this event has no intensity for Mary, she moves onto the next one, and so on.
And of course, when there is a pain that stubbornly reappears, Mary can use the following tapping until the pain subsides. To use these statements for yourself, simply substitute for the body part. For example, if the pain is on the right side of your neck, where it says “[body part where the pain is]”, substitute “right side of my neck”.
Setup:
“Even though I have this pain in my [body part where the pain is], I deeply accept myself”
Reminder:
“This pain in my [body part where the pain is]”
As well as working on specific events and pain, Mary can also use a positive EFT tapping each morning and night, just before waking and just before going to sleep, for four weeks. She taps on all the points the following.
Setup and Reminder:
“I choose to release all the emotional components of this pain and everything they remind me of. I choose to do this until I am free from these emotions. I allow healing to my mind and body.”
Advanced EFTers can also tap for foods, rehabilitation exercise, etc. Or you may opt to learn how from the Serious Diseases EFT DVD sets. If you don’t have them already, they are well worth the modest investment, from http://www.emofree.com
Now make up your own EFT protocol.
Enjoy the release...
