There is a very good reason why I was exposed to burning oil recently, and the chest infection I was nearly totally recovered from returned with a vengeance. So off I went to the doctor, who prescribed the necessary antibiotics. She also prescribed Ipratropium bromide to help open up my airways. I tried it and it worked much more effectively than salbutamol. I was unhappy about the side effects, but as a temporary measure whilst I carry on improving my health, it is a help. So I looked up the way it works. It turns out that it blocks the action of acetylcholine, which contracts the muscles of the lungs that shouldn't be contracting that much. Now in January this year, I was subjected to environmental extremes, which led to way too much coughing. I feel that the muscles I use to cough are way too strong now compared to the muscles I use to breathe in. As if there is a stuck command somewhere in my body to keep that inappropriate balance. To help reverse that balance, I am exercising regularly to help strengthen the muscles I use to breathe. But what…

I had treated this very thoroughly before. Only now, every time I reach out for cinnamon to add to my cooking, I let go of energy by yawning. So, intuiting that there was still a bit of cinnamon allergy-like problem in my body, I held the cinnamon jar and just tapped silently on the Crown, CB, UA, UB, Crown (big yawns), UA, UB, and the yawning stopped. No Setup or Reminder. Then I added cinnamon to my meal. It's delicious and I'm breathing fine. When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse. EFT is one way of throwing away the emotional rubbish collecting in your system.

I was on the bike again, recovering from the chest infection I had, building up my lungs again. I hit a plateau and thought of the so-called lung specialist that had prescribed the inhaler laced with steroid despite my contra-indication to steroids like this. I tapped on the Thumb point:"Even though you have abused me, I am a survivor" I got the motivation to finish my exercise plan for the day. And I feel a lot stronger in myself.

I was talking to someone this morning about how my father had prescribed valium for my uncle for asthma, way back when they thought valium was pretty harmless, and how my uncle consequently was addicted to valium for the rest of his life. A big tinge of guilt told me that part of me thought I didn't deserve to get better because of guilt for my father's prescription. When I was alone, I tapped. Setup:"Even though I don't deserve to get better, I deeply love and accept myself" Reminder on Crown, CB andUA:"Costi Zacharia" I cried as I tapped. Afterwards, I can breathe even better.

Certain people in my life have proven themselves untrustworthy. This just happens to coincide with me keeping a chest infection and my lung swelling up, which has to be more than coincidence. I can breathe much better and can see a few logical ways out of the situation. When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative impact on you can make the condition worse. EFT is one way of throwing away the emotional rubbish collecting in your system.

Two weeks ago, I had a chat to a very nice homeopath and (I am honoured to say) a New Age London student, and he advised me that there are homeopathic preparations with the energy of the last 10 years' flu viruses and one with a similar energy to the bird flu. On the premise that it is best to have some preparation than no preparation, and because my body was not strong enough for a proper full-on flu jab yet, I got both preparations and used them with EFT. I did not ingest them but tapped using their energy.Here is the procedure I used:Hold the vial containing the energy of the flu;Tap on all the points you can as normal, Setups and Reminders I used were as follows: Setup:"Even though I'm terrified of dying of this flu, I deeply and completely love and accept myself" Reminder:"This flu" Setup:"Even though my body's too weak to fight this flu, I deeply and completely love and accept myself" Reminder:"This flu" Setup:"Even though my body needs to fight this flu, I deeply and completely love and accept myself" Reminder:"This flu" Setup:"Even though my body needs to…

Last week to my dismay after many hours' research on the internet, trying to find one journal article to buy that may possibly identify my condition's name, I find none. I tap as I search. No Setup, no Reminder. I slept exhausted but more peaceful, as I realised why I had never been diagnosed. If it was not for my efforts, I have no doubt that by now I would have emphysema (and would have done for at least 15 years). But because of my efforts, something doesn't add up for the medics and nobody wants to treat me privately because they don't understand my condition (I made attempts recently and gave up when they all did) and the government NHS wants to put me on steroids in the mistaken belief that it may somehow fix my non-existent asthma. So I peacefully made a pact with myself to call my condition Smokers Lung and this way nobody can argue with that, it's a layman's term that is as nonthreatening to anyone as you can get. I tapped some more and made plans even more logically than before.This way, EFT has produced another cognitive…

People with chronic disease have daily struggles to go through even when all seems to be well and we are in relatively perfect health. There is the legacy of all those years previously as a cripple. Financial, family, friends, home, all these are affected and leave a legacy that still presents itself even after all should have been healed.Perhaps not just an EFT post in itself, also awareness-raising and a public apology for those poor recipients of an email reply-to-all that I did in response to a spammer.To cut a long story short, because of finances I found myself in a situation where I breathed in a great deal of oily soot. My flatmate, who is very nice, simply did not appreciate what I really meant when I said no, I can't have incense-burning in the home. After all, I had initially said yes, not understanding myself why I should not expose myself to it. A week ago, he kept lighting one after the other with his door ajar while I was too busy working on the computer to notice, till it was too late. I got no sleep that night until I…

I have been trying the affirmation "I am 68 kg and that is my weight", and it just kept bringing up resistance in the form of "but..." and I didn't hear beyond the "but". So today, in the gym on my bike, I tried it again, tapping with my hand and finger points on the handlebars. A better affirmation came through"I am 68 kg and I am capable". Suddenly, I realised I was going really fast on the bike, feeling really good, repeating "I am 68 kg and I am capable, very capable, I am capable". I didn't need to do my usual bike motivation, this got me going on its own. So I was wondering why, still tapping my finger points on the handlebars. And then the answer finally came tumbling out: Since I first fell ill about 19 years ago, terrible things happened to me as a direct or indirect consequence of having fallen ill. The vast majority of these tragic things happened when I was 68 kg. I carried on with my gym session, then went to the changing rooms and locked myself in the toilet for a few minutes.…

For better lung function, I need to lose weight and change my diet. I have been finding it hard, and now I can direct my attention to my weight, as I have cleared most of the other more pressing lung disease problems with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).I did a treatment today on the time when I was very poor (I was constantly struggling financially due to having a chronic disease) and an aunt sent me money and I went to Pret A Manger and ate and ate and ate. My then boss was a cocaine addict who took way too much cocaine before he took a potential client out, sold his company all the services that were promised to my largest client, and the company refused to compensate me (I was on commission). My daughter had to forget going to University, that's how bad it was. His answer was "let her get a job". So I treated using the shortcut from the KC to the KC, with "Even though I have this Pret A Manger feeling, ...", reducing the feeling from 10 to 0, and then a memory from childhood popped up. I…
