EFT Tapping Blog

Weight loss is an important part of my physical rehabilitation and now I am finally at the stage in my EFT treatment where I have healed many issues contributing to my smokers lung and losing weight, which used to be low priority, is now about at the top of the stack of priorities. In other words, I have taken the topmost layers off and now got to the weight loss one.Today after a clinic treatment, a home visit and some travel, I was hungry and my body was asking for a light chocolate dessert. So I went into the local Pret in Carnaby Street and bought a chocolate cake and a chocolate mousse. I ate what I wanted of each, then I started feeling the emotional need to finish them off. So I sat there in Pret tapping my finger points on each other:"Even though I need to finish this, I deeply love and accept myself""Even though I can't afford to buy good food and leave half of it, I understand that I have enough food at home, even though I'm skint at the moment, it's pretty good food, even if I were…

Eleven Minutes at 100 RPM on the gym bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!  I did 3 intervals at 100 RPM, aiming for 9 minutes, which still would have been a record for the last 2 years. I tapped on the finger points as I said "two minutes, two minutes..." till it became 2 minutes. I kept going, saying "3 minutes, 3 minutes..." as I tapped. At the hardestparts, I rubbed both KCs against both sets of UNs (Points from bottom of female underwire or such a bra, or where it would be if a male was wearing it, directly under the breast to the bottom of the ribcage, a slight adaptation on the EFT one UN point). That helps me a lot. A record since 2 years ago. I'm so thrilled. And that's not all!!!!!! I took my medication this morning at 8 AM. On my way to work, I realised I had none on me, and that's when I realised I was well enough to do without.On the way to the gym, I tapped the finger points to release the fear of being without meds and having a record-breaking 9 minutes as my goal. I…

This smokers lung is getting better! 8 Minutes, a whole 8 minutes at 100 RPM on the bike today in intervals of between 1-2 minutes. It took an hour but I tapped almost all the way through, and I'm so happy and so tapped out and so ....breathing in.... full of lovely oxygen you have to peel me off the ceiling!  This is what I did. I got to the gym and warmed up 15 minutes on the bike doing between 60 and 75 RPM. Then I went to the weights and strengthened the muscles in my back and shoulders that got weakened when I had to sleep rigidly on my shoulder for postural drainage last year. Then I went upstairs to the studio in the gym and did a very mild dance class. After the dance class, I did most of a Pilates class, but the teacher was not very understanding and gave exercises that are just not right for my physique (I have particularly bony legs at the hips and sensitive veins), so I excused myself and went back to the gym downstairs. Now some people think they must become "normal"…

Got up to another day of mega pressure. To explain, anyone with a chronic disease has some major problem or other surface every now and then on the practical side of things, which requires a herculian effort to deal with. I deliberately allow my language to flow as I do the treatment so that you, the reader, can get an understanding of how this works. Sore Spot, Setup:"All this pressure of ..... , I deeply and completely and totally love and accept myself" Reminder, all the points + top of head + UN: "All this pressure of ......" I feel energised for the gym after work today and my appetite feels normal, no cravings for comfort food. I had a banana and it was delicious. I think I'll have a cup of tea now and get ready for my home visits. 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. In the same way that we dispose of our household rubbish regularly for home…

I put my hands up, I've done it too...When you have a chronic disease, every now and then something happens which you just can't control and is an indirect effect of having been long-term ill. Today I had just such a stressful day. This kind of day isn't an able-bodied kind of stressful day. It's a chronically-ill person kind of stressful day, which if you're not chronically ill, you just have no idea what it's really like and I will spare you the details. I tapped as I worked, tapped to overcome the temptation to comfort-eat at the computer as I worked, and then ate more than I had intended although less than if I had not tapped. So I stopped and tapped for the stressful events and the "poor me" feelings. Tapping some more now. Setup and Reminder:"Even though I've buckled under the strain, I choose to be a winner, I choose to be healthy" I feel good. Which is nothing short of a miracle. Tapping some more now. No Setup, just Reminder:"Don't let the ....... get you down" Tapping some more now. "Even though I have all this extra stress, I'll…

I kissed the cat and my lips started to swell. I am doing this treatment now with EFT to catch it before it goes further. It is important to stop all allergic reactions in their tracks, or my left lung will fill up and I literally start drowning in my own mucus and need more meds and get more ill etc. Much easier to treat with EFT at the first sign. Setup:"Even though I'm stressed with and , and that has brought up my allergic reaction, I deeply and totally love and accept myself, even when I am being a prat, I deeply love and accept myself, with all my faults and shortcomings, I love and accept myself" Reminder:"Cat allergy, lips swollen, stressed, ,admin, stress, , stress, immune system poised to fight, I look forward to next week when it's all over, stressed lips, stressed lips, immune system fighting, it feels cornered, no way out but to fight, immune system stressed, nice cat, lips swollen, lips, lips, cat allergy". Lips started to go down again. I'm calmer. When you have a chronic physical condition, anything that either emotionally or physically has a negative…

Kai the cat has just been on my lap. Christmas is a pretty stressful time, so I tapped just-in-case for my cat allergy. I stroked her with one hand while I tapped with another. Setup:"Even though I'm allergic to Kai, I deeply love and accept myself" Kai's response:"Purrrrrrrr" Rubs her forehead with mine. Reminder on Crown then EB to KC, including UN:"Allergic to Kai" Kai's response:"Purrrrrrr" Her fur feels really soft again, totally pleasant to the touch. Kai gets enough energy (Borrowing Benefits from my self-treatment) when she nips my hand to get off me. I can't see any red marks. As a matter of fact, I can't remember where exactly on my hand she nipped, and it was two minutes ago.She's feeling lonely. I tapped more for her feelings. As I heal her, healing goes through me. She got a bit upset when I started typing again, so I reminded her that this is how I earn her cat food. She's a bit calmer now. Does this seem crazy? All I know is that I'm not sneezing, I'm breathing OK, my eyes aren't running, I have no skin itch. I have a…

Today I tapped for a number of issues and then tried to eat chocolate birthday cake. It was hard work towards the end. My biggest (excuse the pun) weight problem right now is that I put more on since taking steroids unnecessarily earlier this year. Yesterday, I watched a program on TV (National Geographic) about disasters. It was about escaping gas, just the problem that led to my big health problems at the beginning of 2005 and hence the steroids. I tapped silently as I watched the program. No Setup or Reminder, just tapping.After that, it's as if some of my unhappiness at the way I was stuck in an unsafe home with a serious gas leak, windows and doors open, temperature -2 Celcius and no heating for several weeks was stored in the fat I put on when subsequently given steroids. And now it is safe to release it. Property in London is a bit hit and miss when you are renting, or so I have found. I was stuck in a contract, couldn't immediately leave, had to fight it out with the landlord and the gas people were useless. They laughed…

In my new life, sincee mbarking on a journey of recovery some 12 years ago, this winter is the last winter that I will feel painful hardships. Everything is going slowly according to plan and there is light at the end of the tunnel. I was printing out the Serenity Prayer for my students tomorrow and found myself crying at the second part of a version I have. So I tapped: "Grant me patience with the changes"that take time, "Appreciation of all that I have, "Tolerance of those with different struggles "And the strength to get up and try again "One day at a time." I kept tapping on the KC, the finger points and tapping the KC and the BN simultaneously, releasing many tears, reminded of the hope, of where I am going to in life, that this is the last winter of such hardship, that there is only one more and then it's the end, the start of a real life. I feel so priviledged with "appreciation of all that I have".  It puts things in perspective. For those of you searching for the Serenity Prayer, here it is: God, grant…

I noticed that it has been about ten months since I last had a blocked-up nose. I used to have this regularly and now I don't, no matter what. I did have a slight blocked-up feeling in one nostril recently, which lasted about 5 minutes while I tapped for it. I used to take decongestants on a regular basis just in order to function, on top of all the other medication for my smoker's lung. 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. In the same way that we dispose of our household rubbish regularly for home cleanliness and hygiene, I use EFT to dispose of negative emotions for my optimal physical health.
