Re: Neck and back pain - Have no idea what emotion is causing it

Hi Boris!

I am surprised you have not had more relief just tapping on pain issue. "Even though, I have this pain at level 5 in my neck, it feels like________________ (burning, dull ache?) it is always there (whatever is true for you :~) and very wearing..............." finish with acceptance.

Repeating "this pain" at each point, and do up to 10 rounds, which Gary has suggested, but, honestly, I have never had to do more than 4, maybe five at the most. I also tap with two hands, both sides. Usually two rounds will take me to the point, I forget aboout it (1-2) and then to a zero 15 minutes later.

( I had a whip-lash injury in my 30's and then 12 years later after continued pain, I had neck surgery and the doctor removed a disk that had calcified. This was before magnets & EFT. When I started having problems the second time, not wanting surgery, I placed a 50 cent size magnet on shoulder point that seemed to be the trigger point and wore it 24/7, every day the pain was less and I regained full use of my arm in 6 months, which when I started was down to about 20%. Now, with EFT, I tap and combine some magnetic energy in a diffent form. I have to wonder, if it could have been accomplished in much less time. Either way, I am very grateful and I do understand your discomfort.)

I have also, found touching the pain area, to help in being specific, saying "This pain right here!" "it is driving me nuts" :~)

Tapping a full round, all fingers and Gamut Point (pain) would seem to be helpful, that way you are energizing meridians directly that are located in your arms and much closer to possible problem blockages.

I have developed a series using a combination of style of "Allergy Antidotes" in combination with Dr. Lincoln's "Messeges of the Body" ( he gives emotional issues for each vertebra and disc ) and Louise Hay affirmations, that I have used very successfully. If you know from x-rays exact or specific location Cervical C1-C2-C3-C4-C5-C6-C7 ----- Thorasic T1-T2-T3-T4-T5-T6-T7-T8-T9-T10-T11-T12 Let me know and I will forward the information to you.

If you do not know for sure, we can use Muscle Response Testing to determine the weak areas that are causing you pain and then do the same as above.

Hope this is helpful, let me know if you desire anymore information!

Anger, forgiveness, and physical pain

Judy7 — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 16:24:41 GMT

I have had migraines for 30 yrs starting when I married. I have worked diligently 3 yrs eliminating all physical issues (diet, toxins, etc). Now I believe it is emotional. So going back to when I married I now feel that realizing my husband disrespected my decision to stay “pure” has affected me. I know this was and still is a major issue for me that has affected my sex life all along. I know I should forgive him and I have but…there is still a part of me angry with him. How do I tap on this issue and rid this anger?

Back Surgery

Javier — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:09:14 GMT

In February of this year I suffered a car accident from which I sustained damage to 3 cervical disks (read neck portion of the column) that produced chronic pain in my right arm, loss of strength and loss of mobility. After extensive and very expensive tests I underwent a surgery in May 08 (about 3 months ago) to replace 2 disks and have a plate introduced to return the curvature to my neck. I have had physical therapy and many expensive drugs with minor improvement to my pain. After hearing about EFT I ordered the Foundational Library DVDs so I could give this process a good try. Ive been trying it out but only achieve minor improvements to the pain in my shoulder and arm. Any suggestions out there would be helpful since I understand that some are more difficult to eliminate than others. thx, Javier

Re: Headache help

Hello,

I think that you are on the right track.

You have some great ideas for set-up phrases. If you husband is willing to tap on these and he can change the ones that don’t work for him. The idea of course is get to what emotions are involved with his headaches. How does he feel about having them. Maybe his headaches are trying to tell him something. Many times pain can be a messenger--a feeling that is waiting to be felt and let go of. When it is let go of, then it is gone, and possibly the pain of the headache or part of the pain, unless there is more to it--other aspects. Just imagine puzzle pieces being put together.

For fastest results--go for the biggies. Some people aren't ready to go fast because they are more comfortable with their condition than letting it go too quickly. They can go at a slower pace. We are always at choice. Sometimes people feel comfortable enough to let a condition that has been part of their life for decades and decades. I have personally seen people let it go in a twinkling of a eye.

From my experience, EFT can still work if the person doesn’t believe in, and yet believing in it can add to it. However, a person’s willingness is important.

Here are some set-up phrases Even though:

I have doubts about EFT working for my headache because I have tried EFT and it only helped a little and the process exhausted me. I am not sure if EFT will help my headache, and I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
There may be a part of me who doesn’t quite know who I will be with my headaches...
I feel furious that I have had these headaches for 12, and it really makes me angry that I haven’t been able to get rid of them for all of these years…

Let me know what happens.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Intro: Living a Full Life with Chronic Pain.

Gary Rocha — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:14:01 GMT

Hello -

This is to introuce myself as one who is living a full Qaulity Life by Managing Chronic Pain.

Hi ... my name is Gary Rocha, a retired Canadian now living in Europe. EFT was referred to me by some friends on the Internet whom I have not personally met, but whom have been very supportive of me..

I trust that this is another direction I'm being guided to take, which has been the case ever since my 'process' started in earnest shortly after my release from hospital. Being as I am new here, I have not fully read the site, which I already see holds much information! However, just from a quick scan over the site and this (taken from above): It is an emotional version of acupressure wherein certain meridian release points are gently stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips. I think the technique is not totally foreign to me, as I underwent a similar technique called Body Work with my own therapy! The difference however, is the pressure for application on the meridian lelease points.

The reading I think will prove very interesting!

Re: please help with ideas to stop this physical pain

SkyWatcher — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:56:34 GMT

Hi Chris,

So far, I see you tapping on the paiin, but not emotions. What was going on in your life when you first got the pain? What is going on in your life now that is emotionally painful?

My suggestion, is to tap on thos painful events from your past, and what is emotionally painful now. Then check your physical pain.

Please let me know what happens.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

please help with ideas to stop this physical pain

Holistic Vitality — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:21:42 GMT

hi there everyone and thank you for takin gtime to read this, i am truely greatful for your time.

i am having stabbing pain on my right heel / achillies tendon and i have had this since monday. i have tried eft'in myslef and lots of diff aspects of why the pain is there, but with no joy, the intensity doesnt even change!

how it happened - i was stretching calf and soleus (muslce of the lower leg) on monday in my studio and something kinda twinged i suppose. then it gradually got worse.

past stuff - i am 27 just now and i first had problems with this leg with calf cramps 2-3 times from the age of 13/14 to 16, crapms were so bad i had to sit for 2hrs or more before it would ease. around 17 i was told i had achillies tendonitis which flared up occationally. at 18 i stretched the tendon and ligaments of this foot by landing on the outside of my foot when playing basketball, coming down from a rebound. i was put in an open cast. at 20 i was told i had patella femoral dysfunction, something to do with the knee cap??? i got treatment for this also (all physio).

i now know that if i suddenly explode with a sprint of speed that i get a sudden stabbing pain which makes me pull up and to others is very obvious that something went wrong. i also cannot do explosive jumping, like plyometric work, jumping sports of any kind as the pain (tendonitis) will flare up in my right heel.

i understand the deeper meaning of pain than a physical injury in the body, i am an eft level 2 , CHEK HLC level 2, CHEK Exercise Coach and a Reiki practitioner. so i know about the chakras and energy blockages to a certain level.

i have tried using setups like

all this pain in my right heel / ankle

all this pain in my right achillies tendon

ive described it as stabbing / pain / ache / shooting

ive used the colour of it

ive thought about how this pain slows me down

how the pain stops me walkin properly, therefore stoping me taking those steps i need to

ive used that its on my right leg, im right handed therefore it is regarding a male, either myself or my dad ( as this is what my teachings have taught me)

ive used that its to do with security

im really stuck and frustrated with this

any ideas? lol

Chris

Two ideas on pain

philvt — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:21:47 GMT

Hello;

two ideas on pain seem too have distillled themselves into my awareness:

1. Pain is resistance.

and

2. Pain is fear trying to leave the body

I'd love to hear others thoughts on these concepts....

Re: Headache Pain

SkyWatcher — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 23:26:38 GMT

Hello Joshua,

Welcome to the EFT Forum on Pain. I can see that you have had some success with EFT—yay!!! What I like to say when someone like yourself is getting partial success, is that is good. You are off to a good start. However, why the headache is coming back is that you aren't really getting to what is underneath the headache. You are tapping on the symptoms, and it is working somewhat. Now you are ready for a little more advanced version of EFT—getting to the emotions that are underneath the headache pain.

Here are some ideas for some set-up phrases that you may which to use, Even though:

doing EFT is giving me a headache, and I feel __________ about that, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
I want to figure out how to bring this up with my wife who gets horrible migraines, and it isn't working for me, and I feel _______________ ...
I am afraid that my wife will be very skeptical about doing EFT since her headaches focus directly behind the eyebrow point...
I feel ________________ about my wife being very resistant...
I am afraid that my wife may feel that what I want to share with her is weird...

Joshua, the key here is getting to the emotions that you are feeling. EFT has limited success with dealing directly with pain, however, when you get to what is underneath the pain it has FANTASTIC results.

Please stay in touch. I would love to here of your successes with EFT.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Re: how hard to tap

SkyWatcher — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 04:52:32 GMT

Hi Sonja,

Something that is really cool about EFT is that you get to make stuff up. I think that many people want to know exactly how to do it, I know that I did when I first started. I learned from Gary Craig's videos, and copied what I saw.

Some people hate tapping. If someone hates tapping, and their INTENT is strong enough, they don't have to even tap, and it can still work. They can just imagine tapping or pressure on the points. My husband never has liked tapping. However, sometimes his hip hurts when he goes for a walk. He rubs his sore spot on his chest, while saying, Even though my hip really hurts, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. He usually rubs just 3 times and the pain disappears without any tapping or visualizing.

While you are tapping, if you skip a point or spend 2 or 3 times as long on one point--it is OK. If a point feels really good to tap on (kind of like scratching an itch) you may want to tap on that point--more.

As Leigha says, it is important to get under the pain to what the emotional issues are. Just tapping on the pain--can work. If it only helps up to a certain point, you may want to ask the particular pain

what is the message that it would like to tell me?
when did the pain start--what feelings did I stuff at that time?

At first I tapped on all the points that Gary Craig has on his beginning EFT videos, and then as time went on, I used and abbreviated version, added a couple of points, and tap on both sides. Here is a link to a chart of the tapping points that I use (it is a photograph of my granddaughter, Tessa).

Sonja, getting back to your question about how hard to tap, many times if the person's intensity level of the pain doesn't budge, I get them to tap harder, and talk louder as they tap.

Please let me know if any of this helps.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn
