Re: My journey with MS

Sylvia S Ross — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 06:09:43 GMT

Hi Fabienne!

Please share your experience here, in theory and often in practice physical symptoms have an emotional root, wrong beliefs, conflicts of some sorts, complicated by additional conflicts as the illness progresses (shame, idenity,etc..) why not MS? as we have seen in a few cases.

Gary posted an article I submitted http://www.emofree.com/Multiple-sclerosis/multiple-sclerosis-MS-secondary-gains.htm on a client I worked with several years ago. I would just like to be more specific here with some added insight. I work closely with Dr. Lincoln's "Messages from the Body", he lists "Exploitation-rage" as an attribute, a long with a whole series of other insights, Lori was engulfed with rage, that she had lost her childhood with the responsibility of being a/or the major care-giver to her sister, as I read the other insights, I can see many connected emotions she expressed as we met.It was this issue of exploitation, we addressed with EFT, that she had the profound change in the "stuffed feeling of heaviness" in her legs, which helped return her gait.

Other major insight/feelings catagories are "hardening of attitudes", "gotta take care of it myself", & "self-straight-jacketing". He goes on to say "are fearful of being free, and terrified of true feelings, repressing their emotions, and are therefore trapping themselves into immobilization and muscular atrophy"

My experience with combining EFT and Dr. Lincoln's insights to not only specific illnesses but also body parts, is the sensation of "chasing the pain" as I clear blockages, most always using Meridian Charts as guides, the meridian involved is very obvious and I can then locate acupoint, by touching the spot of sensation which 95% of time is sore. This experience has convinced me, that there is a hierarchy of body-emotional mapping, which is connected to not only our brain as in Dr. Hamer's research but, also specific acupoints in our meridian system.

I am trained as an Aurastar Counselor and have equipment that reads energy levels of 45 seperate organs, glands & body parts from refexology points located in hand and produces a energy pattern to represent our aura. Five years ago, I had the opportunity to collect a series of scan from people who had been diagnosed with MS (including Lori), Fibro or were having balance problems (me). Those scans are posted on my website. There is a definate pattern in brain areas for the majority. A picture is worth a thousand words,but, at risk of upsetting someone, I won't post the connection. A healthy perfect scan would be all green and turquoise, where most of these show white, blue & turquoise in a very similiar in pattern.

Exposure to a chemical cleaning spray, triggered my episode, but, since I was cleaning with a product that I knew I was sensitive to, but, in a determined "got to get this done" mind-set, emotions could have also played a part in combination as I revue the above "Messages" :~) There also seemed to be a Candida connection with most of subjects, so check that out.

When I was working with Lori, I was studying "Allergy Antidotes" and tested her. Without pulling her file, the "big deal" was she tested positive for Measles Vaccine, Rubella to be specific. Surprised both of us! When we talked about it, she said she had her first vaccine at age 9 or 10 and then a booster in college. Her doctors had determined her MS started around age 10 when she went from being graceful to very clumsy. She also noted that it was after her vaccine in college, she really started to have more noticable symptoms. She had a lot going on, so, I am only noting this, because she was having trouble with her eyes and I have always wondered if her sensitivity to the vaccine might have contributed to this problem.

Fabienne, have you ever tested or been tested through the Body Wisdom Series from "Allergy Antidotes", I found it provides great insight. Intrigued, by Sandi's account of cancer patient posted here, I have put together a series of forms, which now includes meridians/acupoints. I do not use viles, I just read names of substances and energy test, note problem areas on forms and then go back later to clear with EFT using Sandi's general PR Statement. With acuxo.com as a reference, it is then possible to look up specific acupoint and have a better understanding of what malfunction of specific acupoint effects, plus apply EFT to release blockage. So, that is another avenue to explore.

Before EFT, I was a Nikken Distributor, I met another distributor that healed her MS with magnetic products, she was much worse than the man in Gary's video, ready to be placed in nursing home and have food tube inserted. Magnets also stimulate acupoints and correct energy flow.

I worked with another gal with MS, who could hardly hold a pencil, rolled her hands with MagBoys and in less than 5 minutes she could write perfectly. All of these women were on heavy medication.

It is late, hope this is helpful!

LOL,

Sylvia

I know why I've overeaten through the years. When I was young I had unwanted sexual attention from men. Also, as years have gone by, I don't handle stress very well. But, since I've been doing the tapping today I have felt better. I don't really care why. It's just great to have a good day. I have a host of health problems the major one is fibro.

Patty,

I applaud your willingness to do this work. I can tell that it is difficult. I will give you some ideas, but if it becomes too much you may want to find an EFT practitioner that you trust, and work with them.

However, it is possible that you can do this yourself. I would recommend that you bundle together all of the feelings that you are experiencing:

the fear of not being able to stop crying
the fear of remembering what you have buried so deeply
the fear of dealing with all of this stuff

Then you can tap on being psychologically reversed on all of the above—maybe calling it all of my stuff (better if you can come up with a name). Some step-up phrases could be, Even though:

there is a part of me that does not want to deal with all of my stuff, and I deeply and completely love and accept myself
there is a part of me that doesn’t want to let go of all of my stuff…
I am terrified of all of my stuff…

Usually what I do is muscle test to see if what is psychologically reversed is gone (I don’t know if you know how to muscle test).

Consider “tapping and ranting” about all of my stuff and see if you can get it all out—so, the intensity goes down. BTW, do you tap on yourself while you are crying? It can help.

Hope this is helpful,

JoAnn

First of all, thanks to Sass and Dave for their suggestions, and thanks to all who have responded for your support. For the first time since my diagnosis, I feel like I'm not alone in this, and that's a good feeling.

Dave, I'm pretty sure that you've hit the nail on the head about the abuse. I have no memories to substantiate that, but I have all the classic behaviors of someone who was abused, and if I read about abuse, or view something related on TV (or watch Gary's DVDs!) I tend to get very emotional. I will be starting to work in a few weeks with Sophia Cayer, and I hope to get to the bottom of this issue, as well as a few others.

With an eye toward helping myself and others at the same time, I created the Tapping Buddies website, and I'm hoping that lots of us will be able to connect with someone that can share our EFT learning journey.

I will be spending the next couple of days planning an EFT strategy for dealing with the fibromyalgia, and I'll definitely check back in here to share my progress along the way.

Fibromyalgia Pain

pattyann2264 — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:54:23 GMT

After a long period of pain and misery, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago, and while there was relief that I finally knew what was wrong, there was also despair at my rheumatologist's prognosis -- fibromyalgia is a chronic disease, and you will have to learn to live with it.

I am currently on 2 pain meds, one considerably stronger than the other, but I still have frequent bouts of pain.

I know how important it is to get to root causes with EFT, and I want to work on the fibromyalgia, but since I really have no idea when it started, I'm at a loss as to how to do that. Since I don't know what time period to look at, I can't really search for memories that might be important.

I've definitely got the mechanics of EFT down, but the art of knowing when and where to look, and how best to approach problems clearly needs work. Any suggestions as to how to potentially pinpoint the causes of my fibromyalgia and deal with it would be greatly appreciated.

Pat

Re: BACK PAIN BROUGHT ON BY EFT

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:12:40 GMT

JoAnn,

Thank you for such a prompt reply. In my first round of tapping I pictured my wife as she sits right now getting ready for work in so much pain that every movement is agony, and I began to cry vigorously, and I felt the tension, and pain in my back disappear. Although my pain relief was great I really need to do something to help my wife. To restate my previous statement that I know I am responsible for her pain, I mean to say that the anger, or other negative emotions she feels towards me in regards to the accident is manifesting itself in her Fybromyalgia. Or in other words, the Fybromyalgia is a result of the negative emotions associated with the accident. In as much as she has chronic physical pain 24hrs a day, the intense emotional response brought on by her single session of EFT has scared her away from it completely. Although I have reasoned with her, and let her know that the follow up session was badly needed, she won't listen, as she is afraid to relive the onslaught of emotions brought to the surface with EFT. Just to clarify, I believe that there are other suppressed emotions in her that attributed to this reaction. I have read something about surrogate tapping, and wonder if this is a realistic alternative. In addition, I am a new comer to EFT, and I don't want to bring about a response in her that would cause her further pain, emotionally or physically, and than not have the experience to handle the situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BACK PAIN BROUGHT ON BY EFT

Anonymous — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:02:32 GMT

Just to give you some background on how I stumbled on to EFT. I was driving drunk with my wife in the car and crashed into a palm tree. I was just down the street from my house. I got out of the car and checked on my wife, who said she was unable to get out of the car. I didn't believe she was really injured. (I was perfectly fine, why wouldn't she be.) As rediculous as this thought was, this is what I was thinking at the time. Knowing that I was drunk, and trying to avoind going to jail, I had the astounding logic to run for my house, leaving my wife behind. I ran for the house, and got about ten feet from my front door when I was tackled to the ground, by some concerned citizens, and then placed in hadcuffs by an off duty security guard. I blacked out for a while and when I came to I was back at the accident scene. My wife had been taken to the hospital in an ambulance. I was arrested and taken to jail. Following the accident I was having some back pain, not severe, but enough to bother me. Knowing that going to the doctor, would just result in a prescription for pain meds, I made an appointment with Accupuntcture/Chiropractor. I had three visits with him, to he used accupuncture, and one a cupping technique. Needless to say this did litlle to improve the pain in my back. My brother told me about Neurolink, so I decided to give that a try, and their website directed me to a doctor in my area, Las Vegas Nevada. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Robirds, and had to wait two months to see him. When filling out the paperwork, and listing things that were ailing me, I cited depression, lack of self confidence, and numerous other things along those lines, in addition to the back pain. After my session with Dr. Robirds, my back was completely pain free. In addition, mentaly and emotionally I felt like I had never before, fantastic. Dr. Robirds informed that it wasn't Neurolink that he had used but EFT. He gave me the web address to the EFT website, but I never got around to checking it out. Meanwhile my wife was suffering from extreme pain in her back, legs, hands. I shceduled her an appointment with Dr. Robirds, but this again took two months to get in. The day of her appointment, I was out of town on business, and she missed her appointment. Fast forward a year or so, and my wife was still suffering from chronic pain. She had been diagnosed by three different doctors with Fybromyalgia, and prescribed hydrocodone, muscle relaxer, xanex, and anti depressant medication. Of course these drugs did little to help her. I finally got off my but and made another appointment with Dr. Robirds but made sure this time that she made it to her appoinment. Unfortunately, she was one of the 3% of the people who expeienced extreme emotional distress from the treatment. The emotion was such that both her and the doctor were engulfed in tears. He scheduled her a follow up appointment for one week later, but she was scared to go back, for fear she would experience more of the same emotional trauma. Dr. Robirds again gave me the address of the EFT website, but this time a got on and checked it out. This was back in March of this year. I started practicing EFT on myself to work on depression, and self confidence issues, and felt some progress, but didn't stick with it. A couple of weeks ago, as I approached my 33 birthday, I started experiencing depression and anxiety in a pretty sever way, and decided to go back to EFT. I have developed a routing that consists of a very early morning bike ride, ending at a very beautiful but unused park. There I started working on just some general depression, addiction, self motivation, etc...., and was feeling good. Then I decided to work on some general anger issues directed towards my mother, and felt an enormous relief. During this time I have been continued to study the free EFT manual, and decided to try and work on specific memories, that I believe were issues for me. This is where the trouble began. After working on some grief issues with the death of my father, I was struck by an intense anxiety attack. Although I normally feel a decent amount of anxiety this was very intense. I went back to tapping with the grief issue over my fathers death, and the anxiety subsided, but did not go away completely. In addition to this I had started compiling a list of all of the things that I could think of that carried an emotional burden. One of these was the guilt over having left my wife behind so that I could save my own butt, in the car accident. To my surprise the back pain that I had been rid over for over a year and half suddenly came right back. I did some more tapping for guilt, and some just for back pain, which did bring relief, but very temporary. In addition I can now see how my actions were the direct cause of my wifes pain. Although she has seen my success with EFT, she is still afraid of bringing back the intense emotional pain brought on during her first treatment. Any suggestions or comments on a possible direction from here would be greatly appreciated.

Re: treatint fibromyalgia with eft

Fabienne — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:21:06 GMT

Hello Tal,

Well done for taking this action and contacting us, you are taking resonsibility for your situation and that is a really positive step.

I think you are giving us/yourself a lot of clues when you say:

"i have alot of emotional presure and daily fights with my mother whom i dont get along much,"

Is there any chance you could take practical steps to resolve these conflicts with your mother?

About pain: pain is usually a response from the body to resistance to a situation, to an emotion.

Are you resisting something in your life? Has there been some major event in your life prior to the onset of fibromyalgia?or an upsetting pattern of events?

Remember that you could work with a practitioner (over the phone too) even once in a while, it might be helpful to start with.

To tackle your problem, you could:

1) Do some tapping on physical symptoms:ie:

Even though My..........hurt, I love and accept myself

Even though I feel so exhausted, I love and accept myself

It is quite important to really connect with I love and accept myself, as in chronic illness we are often reversed. If it does not sound right, try I love and accept myself just for now or as I am now.

2) You could tap on how you feel on the day/moment to help you cope with the present moment:

Even though it is so hard to live like this....

Even though I feel so frustrated....

Even though I feel so alone.....

3) You could work with the Personal Peace Procedure:

http://www.emofree.com/tutorial/tutormthirteen.htm

This might help clear some of the past blocked emotions you have accumulated.

In my experience and through my readings, you can only move from where you are by accepting how things are now. You might not like it but that is how things are now. It does not mean that you resign to it, it just means that you give up resistance which in turn should free energy.

Best,

Fabienne

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!
