Re: Hand/Wrist Pain Brought on by EFT

You're very welcome Asia! There are a lot of really interesting ways to work with pain and the "prescription" varies (of course) depending on the person and situation. One great technique is to spend some time thanking and accepting the pain... sometimes we even apologize to "it" for us not having recognized that it was trying to communicate and help us. Speak to it as you're tapping your rounds... verbally follow it around your body by calling it out. For example, if you were working a pain in your abdomen, at each point you may be saying something like, "this pain in my lower right abdomen". When you notice it is moving, let it know you noticed, saying something like "I feel you shifting into my hip".

I often do personify the pain symbolically (but only if a client is comfortable with that) calling the pain "you" and even playing a game of "hide & seek" with it. Just use your intuition and determination!

Blessings,

Hello Asia,

Tapping like this isn't something you've probably ever done much of before... it's likely that your hands and wrists may take a little time to adjust, especially if you're doing it more often and "enthusiastically" as you say. It could be that maybe you're tapping a little too hard -- and if so, you can lighten up a bit... maybe massage your knuckles; stretch your hands and wrists between tapping; or just back off a bit.

WITH THAT SAID... what I really believe is happening, is that you're naturally finding your alternative tapping points! When I first began working with EFT, I made some major breakthroughs by noticing when/where these little pains began to pop up -- and using them as "alternative" tapping points in addition to the EFT basic recipe. Go ahead and tap directly on them (but also keep doing the basic recipe). For me, they always (surprise-surprise) corresponded perfectly with some published acupuncture meridian point.

Now when I tap, I notice all sensations immediately -- even if something just seems like a small "itch" -- I follow it... allowing those sensations to guide me as to where I need to tap. It's also a great way to "Chase the Pain". For me, I find that when one of the tapping points is sensitive, it's because something is blocked there, and I tend to tap longer on that point -- which then clears completely. I experience that a lot when using the Karate-Chop point, the 9-Gamut and many alternative points on my head and face. I typically check the tapping points on both sides to see whether one side might be more sensitive than the other -- in which case, I always choose the spot most "sore" to tap on, regardless of which side I'm doing my general tapping on.

There are websites you can search online that post fairly detailed pictures of where the acupressure meridian points are.

I hope this helps!

Kindest regards,

Does anyone have practical experience using EFT working around steroids, pain meds., and sports medicine? If so, please comment on whether you found that these substances had any effect on the effectiveness of EFT as well as any other comments you might have regarding the use of EFT on professional athletes using performance enhancing medicines. I am specifically interested in steroids and EFT, but appreciate any other imputs as well,

thank you,

Don

Hi Everyone,

My name is Vall. I live in Chicago, Illinois. My right wrist has been hurting for about 2 months'. I have completed 2 levels of EFT. I have not tried one timeto use EFT in regards to this issue. A very telling sign. I put wrist pain in the search engine and I found all of you. What a blessing. I have read each response and have gained something from each one. I thank you so much. I feel better just knowing that I will be able to conquer my resistance.

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....

Hi Mayra,

Journaling is great with EFT. I usually do kind of an outline. I also write SUD level, and then draw arrows down as the number decreases.

I believe that you haven't gotten to the root of your issue—yet. Usually I have found it isn't about doing EFT for an issue for several days in a row, it is about getting to the core issue—what is really under there?

I decided to refer to Louise Hay's book, You Can Heal Your Life, and Louise says that it can be related to anger and frustration at life's seeming injustices. When did the CTS begin? Do you see any correlation between when CTS started and anger and frustration in your life? Also, the wrist movement and ease. Is there something in your life that is REALLY BIG that feels like you are resisting. Maybe it is worth tapping on that.

The way that I usually work is I clear an issue with someone, and then we go on to another. If you can't get anywhere with CTS, it is OK to work on something else. It won't hurt, and like you said, there is overlapping.

Something else that just came to mind is Tapping and Bitching. If there is a bunch of stuff you are dealing with, I find this beneficial.

Gratefully yours,

JoAnn

Hello,

I am so glad that EFT worked on helping you get rid of the pain in your back. HOORAY!!!

You could be right about chasing the pain. Before using the set-up statement, you want to assess the pain level in your wrist. It is also good to notice exactly where it is at. If you can get to the feelings underneath the pain, I find that EFT tends to work better... Also, it is really important to come up with the intensity level of the pain or emotion that you are experincing. You can decide if any of these set-up statements sound like they could be true for you, Even though:

I don't know why my left wrist hurts, I deeply and completely love and accept myself
there may be a part of me that doesn't want my wrist to get better...
there is a part of me that doesn't think that EFT can work on my wrist...

Some other thoughts that I have that may or may not be helpful to you: Wrists can represent movement and ease. So, some set-up phrases that might work for you could be, Even though:

there is a part of me that thinks that my life needs to be hard because of ________...
it is difficult for me to move my wrists, and I am getting older and that may be part of it...

Please let me know if any of this helps. You so deserve to handle all of your experiences with wisdom, with love, and with ease.

I know that you are whole and complete.

JoAnn
