Hi every my name is Gillian Tarawhiti and I have received alot of response and inquires about the recent article that Gary ran in his newsletter.  For those who haven't read the article - the short version is this.  I had an MRI which showed I had ACL Tear and Meniscus tear I decided to delay surgery and several months later got a second MRI which showed the ACL injury had fixed itself...so now you are up to speed (so to speak)

As a response the that article I wanted to share the follow...

My final injury was a meniscus tear, unfortunately in my case where the tear occurred part of the cartledge came off and floated under my knee cap which stopped me from being able to fully bend my knee.  However whilst EFT couldn't fix that it had stopped any pain that was associated with it, I very rarely had my knee lock out, it has given me more mobility that the specialists expected.  Recovery was faster, the pysicotherapist couldn't believe after the surgery how fast my range of flexibility came back, which only usually comes from professional sports people (which I am not).

So here is what I did.

Immediately after the injury I was tapping for the excruiating pain in my leg.  My injury occurred at about 7.30pm by 8.30pm my pain levels where around a 3 or 4 it was just a sore of a nagging thud feeling.

I tapped alot on the following for many days and weeks after the event.  The setup for me is more effect on the karate chop point, although when I am anywhere in public and still doing the tapping I use the sore spot.  My tapping sequence was from the top of the head, EB, SE, UE, UN, Chin, CB, UA, thumb, pointer finger, index finger, little finger - 9 Gamut - Head, EB, SE, UE, UN, Chin, CB, UA.  I find when I work on myself short cuts don't work (but that's just me)

Even though I am in agony I deeply and completely accept myself
Even though I'm going to miss out on making the team, I accept myself for anything I might have done to cause it
Even though I'm angry at myself for letting this happen I deeply and completely accept myself
Even though I angry at ********* for getting in my way I deeply and completely accept myself
Even though I'm sad that I won't make the team I truely love myself anyway
Even though I'm not going to be the strongest female because of this injury I deeply and completely accept myself
Even though I might not be able to fight any more I accept myself anyway
Even though I hate being sick and laid up I deeply and completely accept myself anyway
Even though I don't like hospitals I deeply and complete love myself anyway
Even though the doctors might cut off my leg I love and accept myself anyway
Even though I might die if I have surgery I deeply and completely accept myself

And it went on and on - what ever popped into my mind that is what I tapped for and did this every day after the accident, then after hearing the specialist I ramped up the hospital, doctors, dieing or losing my leg stuff because I didn't realise it at the time but I had a fear of all those things.

Well I hope that has helped.  My suggest is write down everything that comes to mind that maybe holding your back or you have the slightest concerns about.  Know exactly what your injury is and just tap.  When you are having a shower in the morning, making a coffee, driving (at your own risk), doing the laundry, reading, at the movies.  Many times a day, it might seem monotonous but the rewards will out weigh this.

I hope this helps

Hi Gillian,
