Hi Everyone,

Well its the 10th anniversary of 9-11 and if you have not been completely away from your televisions, radios, and newspapers, you will have been reminded and perhaps re-traumatized by past footage of the towers falling, and victims recounting their own stories of pain and survival. I want you all to take a minute and quickly write down three upsetting things you saw, heard, or read about on this 10th anniversary.

Then Follow this pattern and tap for each of the three events/incidents/examples.

So if you wrote down for example,

1. The story of the school girl with PTSD
2. The story of the blind man coming down the stairs with his dog.
3. The visual image of the plane going into the tower

So, tapping the side of your hand, the karate chop point,
Say aloud or mentally:

“Even though I feel upset by listening to stories about 9-11 such as the girl who suffered PTSD, I accept myself.”

“Even though I feel upset by listening to stories about 9-11 such as the one about the blind man and his dog, I accept myself.”

“Even though I feel upset by being reminded about 9-11 and the plane hitting the tower, and even though that image is burned into my memory, I accept myself.”

“Even though I am reminded of my helplessness when I hear these stories, I accept myself.”

“Even though I am re-traumatized by media stories about 9-11, I accept myself and I forgive the media – they are just doing their jobs.”

Then tap several rounds of EFT starting with tapping on the top of your head, between your eyebrows, side of the eyes, under the eyes,under the nose, under the lips, collarbone, and under the arms. Tap using a reminder phrase such as “school girl trauma”, “blind man”, and “plane hitting the tower” as you tap each point 7-10 times.

If any other images or thoughts come up, write them down and include them in their own tapping sequence.

Take a deep breath, and mentally send out love and compassion to everyone directly affected by 9-11.

I just followed my own advice now and I feel a little lighter and less burdened by helplessness. I hope you do too. It will take you about 5 or 10 minutes to do a proper job of it.

Tap as you encounter any more 9-11 stories this weekend and teach your family members to do this too.

Cold sores tend to come with stress and deadlines and though they won’t keep you at home, they can be an annoyance.

Book mark this article and you will have a ready solution to to the next cold sore you get. By following this technique I have had cold sores go away with 30 hours, instead of hanging around a week.

Tapping the side of your hand, by the little finger, the karate chop point edge, say aloud.

“Even though I have this cold sore and they usually last a week (change to suit circumstances), I accept myself.”

“Even though this cold sore is really annoying, irritating, etc., I accept myself.”

“Even though I have this cold sore will not go away any sooner if I tap about it , I accept myself.”

“Even though I have this cold sore because _______________(change to suit circumstances), I accept myself.”

Even though I am under a lot of stress right now because of ___________ and ___________ and now this cold sore, I accept myself anyway.

Go over these statements several times per day.

Finish the day with the above script but add this one too:
Even though things are not peaceful for me right now, I accept myself . I choose to create peaceful experiences for myself and I choose to remember that all is well.

Let me know if your cold sore goes away any faster. It worked for me.

Here is Amit from February 216102140000-852975-15.
It’s taken me awhile to get to this as I have had visitors for the last week and before that a busy time in my EFT practice.
Enjoy…

This session involved a variation on what Gary Craig calls “chasing the pain”. Here we tapped on a variety of places in the body.  Amit reported confusion  or a confused feeling in the left side of his head. His number for this feeling  went from 2 to 8, then 6, and 4 . By the end of the session it was ‘ok’.  We worked on a burning feeling in the stomach, a crushed feeling, rapid fire sensations and possible influence of past lives.  I hope you find the session as interesting as I did.

These audios may be helpful to those with eating disorders, as they often report this type of heavy feeling within.

In this session, Arum reports some improvement in her hip.  Here, some new aspects arise from an old topic which Arum has worked on previously. Guilt, anger, and self-blame are dealt with, as Arum brings out more information about some past events.

I thought of some affirmations to use for anyone  trying to improve their eyesight using EFT.  Remember to tap the karate point or rub the sore point as you repeat each statement at least 3 times.

Even though my skepticism and my eye doctors seem doubtful about my vision improving…

Even though I have this vision problem…

Even though I have invested in glasses or contacts to compensate for this problem and it would be a shame not to use them…

Even though my eyes are not perfect, and even though my vision is imperfect…

Even though I have this specific issue with my vision…

Even though I have this problem because of  good reasons (genetics, age, accident, eyeball shape, eye color,etc)…

Even though  I might never improve my vision by using EFT…

Even though  it might not be possible for my vision to improve…

Even though  I may not even want to see clearly and perfectly…

Even though  I don’t deserve to see clearly and perfectly…

Even though  I have this other unknown issue X that is keeping me from seeing…
I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

All the best,

Mildred

There seem to be a lot of posts around  regarding quitting or not quitting in the blogosphere so I thought I would throw in my two cents.

There are many reasons- aside from the physical addiction that is- that cause a smoker to depend on cigarettes.

Typically, smokers are conflicted about wanting to smoke-they don’t consciously want to die, but they love the nicotine fix. Smoking is both a friend that comforts them and an enemy that is trying to kill them.

When a smoker is young, it is easier to ignore the negative aspects of the addiction, but as we age, we find that we may want to set a better example to our kids or grand kids; that we don’t enjoy the ashtray smell of our clothes ;  and that we really do want to live another 14 years that smoking reduces from our life span.

When it comes to EFT, you can deal with the cravings and even the physical withdrawal aspects of the addiction. Then as the emotional aspects present themselves, you can tap these away too.

Here are few sentences to get you or keep you going if you are planning to quit smoking this season: Use each or any of  these phrases and tap the karate chop point on the side of the hand, repeating at least 3 times.

Even though I am still smoking, I accept myself. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin, after all.
Even though nicotine is more addictive than heroin, I accept myself.
Even though some days I really need a smoke I accept myself.
Even though I really want one right now, I accept myself, anyway.
Even though I could use a cigarette to reward myself for not smoking, I accept myself.
Even though I am “bad”, I accept myself.

Even though cigarettes are my best friend,  I accept myself.

Even though I am not sure I want to quit smoking , I accept myself.

Even though I have been smoking for __________, I accept myself.

These statements are common blocks for smokers trying to quit. Congratulations on any of your successes thus far.
Even though I’ve quit smoking before, I accept myself.
Even though I love smoking and I hate smoking, I accept myself
Even though I really want one right now, I accept myself.

If you really do want to quit, or if you only want to ‘want to’ quit, you can call me and I can walk you through more of the most common blocks  and triggers, as well as work on your own individual triggers.

Contact me by telephone at 1. 780. 432. 3605 from anywhere in North America. You can also reach me by email at mildred  @ emofree.ca (no spaces). I live in Edmonton, AB, Canada, but I have clients from all over the world.  I charge 80.00/hour for telephone appointments but if this is an issue, we can work something out.

The following is excerpted from an anxiety blog I happened upon today: I have taken some of the author’s troubled phrases and turned them into EFT affirmations. You can borrow the benefits for your own anxiety if you tap your karate chop point  or rub the sore point to the following phrases:

Even though I worry about my son losing me and one day having no choice but to live with his father, I accept myself.

Even though I fear the above concern will become a reality tomorrow. Or even later today…, I accept myself.

Even though   I sometimes find myself worrying that I am going to die of an aneurysm, I accept myself.

Even though I still fear that during adolescence, my son will decide he wants to live with his father and then become deeply involved with drugs or illegal activity, I accept myself.

Even though I also fear he will become violent like his father, and turn on us, and put us into real danger, I accept myself.

Even though I stay concerned that I have a major health issue going on, that is potentially life-threatening, I accept myself.

Even though I might have  a brain tumor,  a stomach tumor, or ovarian cancer , I accept myself.

Even though I feel like I’m going crazy, I accept myself.

Even though these fears can be triggered by something as small as an insignficant stomach pain that turns out to be only a little gas, or it can be exaggerated from a common headache, I accept myself.

Even though when I get a cold  I start thinking I have some sort of incurable disease that is only masking itself as a seasonal cold, I accept myself.

Even though my health fears sort of flow over to my family members, too. If I know my father has an appointment that is going to give him some sort of test results, my mind goes into a flurry of worst-case-scenarios, I accept myself.

Even though these scenarios are usually comparisons to what I know of other families to have gone through, or to be going through, I accept myself.

Even though this worry can snowball, I accept myself.

Even though I worry about having to help take care of my dad, , I accept myself.

Even though I worry about  how I’ll be able to work, I accept myself.

Even though I worry about the guilt I would feel if I still did have to work while he was in a terrible condition, I accept myself.

Even though if a friend or family member is going on a long trip I worry obsessively about  terrible wrecks or abductions or something similar, I accept myself.

Even though worst-case-scenario thinking plagues me day in and day out, I accept myself.

Even though I worry  how are we going to pay for groceries next week, I accept myself.

Even though I might not be  the best mom I can be, I accept myself.

Even though my kids might not be getting everything they need from me, I accept myself.

Even though I feel guilty for all my failures, I accept myself.

Even though I RARELY have a worry-free day, I accept myself.

Even though I also deal with the physical symptoms, I accept myself.

Even though this worry cycle is never-ending, I accept myself.

Even though I don’t feel safe , I accept myself anyway.  I’m doing the best I can do.

 

If you or someone you know have anxiety issues, you can send them a link to my blog or to the audio files here.  Amit and Arum are both anxiety sufferers who have benefited from EFT and you can listen to the files and tap along to relieve your own stress or anxiety. If you need a quick intro or a refresher on the EFT points, check out this link.

Arum is a dedicated EFT tapper who has gone through a lot in her life.

Today’s 50-minute session attempts to address some blocks that she has come up against in her attempts to deal with her hip pain.

Just as we were finishing up,we had a problem with the phone line and  Arum stopped being able to hear me.  I stopped the tape and phoned her again and she picked up and told me that she had very little remaining burning pain in her hip.
