Meridian tapping 30 Jan 2006 18 y
eft driving in snowstorm
DH and I were driving all day over 2 days in wintery conditions. This is right out of a nightmare for me when I have to take over and in my head I know it will probably turn out just fine and all will be well, but emotionally there is alot of fear and anxiety tied up into it. Perfect conditions for tapping.
So the first experience it was dark, foggy and slushy roads. DH was sleeping so I was on my own and focusing very intently on the truck leading the way for me. I could feel my heart racing and I just kept deep breathing and tried to keep loose and relaxed. When we pulled over to ... read more MeridianTapping 17 Jan 2006 18 y
EFT Back pain
The opportunities to use EFT are not as great as they were in the fall. I do come into contact with less people because of Sport and Fitness closing. I guess that’s most of it.
A new yoga class. B has lots of back problems and down into her leg and numb toes. She goes to Physical Therapy so I want to support the work she is doing there. The first round of tapping we did at the beginning had no change in back discomfort. It was a 4/5. Then after 15-20 minutes of some gentle yoga her pain was at a 3. I was not sure why the beginning round brought no change. So when we tapped at t ... read more Meridian Tapping 30 Dec 2005 19 y
EFT - lightheaded
This will probably be my last entry for this year.
I am giving a small description of all the experiences I have with Emotional Freedom Technique or Meridian Tapping is the name I like. I have been practicing this for what 5 months or so? I will have to go back and check how long its been.
In yoga class in this past week LW was first getting light-headed as he came up and down in the sun salute. We did about 2 rounds of tapping and it minimized the problem significantly. It seems that when I’m working very quickly with a person, I just reduce the problem to a more manageable level ... read more 23 Dec 2005 19 y
metaphor for life's experiences
A metaphor for life’s experiences I was given today.
I enjoy and become healthy and strong with the kind of exercise that is not too physically exhausting and challenging. I like walking, some running, some weightlifting - lower weights and more repetitions, yoga, rollerblading, dancing etc.
Its been beneficial so far for me.
And that’s how my life experiences have been thus far as well - not terribly difficult or exhausting - just building and consistent over time.
There are some body types out there that require something different. Some require things like running long distances ... read more 23 Dec 2005 19 y
eft, headache, whiplash
It had been such a long time since I had done much with EFT. Everyone in the house was doing just fine. We were going to a party/open house and I hoped there would be an occasion to use some EFt. So I had that intention before we left. Sure enough.
One teen with a headache. We tapped once and the headache moved to the back of her head. Tapped twice more and it was mostly gone.
The party hostess had fallen on the ice the day before and she had tensed up her neck in order to not hit her head, so the whole front, neck, chest area felt very congested and tight. She was losing her vo ... read more 30 Nov 2005 19 y
eft, gagging at the dentist
DD9 had to take xrays at dentist office. Its the thing you stick in your mouth and it makes you gag. So she tried once and the plate made her gag. We tapped one round and then it went very smoothly.
I did an interesting experiment with DS17 and DD21 last night. I wrote on a piece of paper: I am healthy, joyful and happy and full of gratitude. Then on another paper some negative statements. I folded them up so I didn’t know which was which and DS and DD did not know what I wrote. DS17 tested strong on the good statements even tho he had no idea what was written, and I didn’t know ... read more Nov 29 2005 19 y
eft, Christmas season
I have listed here all the things that give me anxiety concerning the holiday season. I have tapped on some of them, and will do more as the month continues. Maybe it will help me not want to hide or run away every December.
1) gifts: don’t have enough money, don’t want to spend lots of money even if I have it, don’t want to go shopping, don’t like the crowds while shopping, don’t like the driving in snow or dark to go shopping, so many gifts its just more clutter, children don’t wear the clothes you buy them, don’t know what to give
2) food: so much junky sweet food, so much excess ... read more 18 Oct 2005 19 y
eft, prayer in morning
I was wanting to do some testing this morning, so I checked my polarity and it was reversed. This was after I had done some yoga and had some water and it was a really nice morning. I drank water, did the hook up and still it was reversed. I had not yet said a prayer that morning and asked for the spirit to be with me.
So I did pray - just simple, short. Nothing out of the ordinary. When I checked again - polarity had shifted to the correct direction. Hmmm. Good lesson for me! visit the page 14 Nov 2005 19 y
eft avoiding Christmas
The more we start making plans for Thanksgiving, Christmas plans are sneaking in there too. My brain just rebels and I don’t want to think about it. Its been a long time that I just would rather Christmas disappears or were just celebrated simply in one day like Thanksgiving. I decided this is something I can/should tap on.
I made a very long list of what I would rather avoid: the music, concerts, decorations, shopping, gifts, sugary sweet foods, indulgence of food, and parties.
And I will tap on these things consistently for this whole season. And one big feeling is the obligatio ... read more 13 Nov 2005 19 y
eft, congestion
I’m going thru the Ultimate therapist videos and the Palace of Possiblities videos by Gary Craig. They are very good - lots of repetition and ideas to try.
I’m noticing more the energy and sensations that emotions bring. DH and I were driving on a sometimes busy road and I thought DH was going to turn and he was going a little faster than I thought he should. He thought a car wasn’t going to stop at the light, so he breaked suddenly. In that split second, an electrical shock feeling blinked right behind my eyes. This was the physical sensation with that emotion of surprise and conf ... read more 4 Nov 2005 19 y
eft, memory, toothache
We’ve been out of town at a band event so staying in hotel and eating out.Bla. I don’t like to do that too often.
DS23 had told me a story about a trip he took with a school group. I was retelling the event to DH while we were driving. I couldn’t remember one of the funny stories and it was annoying. So I some tapping both at that time and then later on and my words were that I couldn’t remember this story and that it would come to my mind before I went to sleep that night. DH had already fallen asleep and then this suggestion came back to me and I started focusing on what that forgo ... read more 1 Nov 2005 19 y
eft, nursery
More pink eye, just overnight. I get no advanced warning.
So I am taking defense plus again. Tapping doesnt’ seem to help much.
I helped out in the nursery on Sunday. I’m happy to know this secret weapon. Its almost like a drug for these little toddlers. One guy was crying by the door. I began tapping on myself and looking at him and sending him love and calmness. He turned around, was quiet and watched me intently. After a few minutes he was fine. Later on with this same child when he got in a fight with another toddler, cried and he wasn’t too keen on letting me tap on him e ... read more 28 Oct 2005 19 y
eft, wanting to snack
Yesterday I dropped a heavy jar on my toe. I tapped immediately and it didn’t seem to help much. The pain didn’t seem to go away any faster than normal.
But today I have done some tapping for anxiety and emotional issues. Several things have combined today to where I just want to find something to snack on. I’m not hungry. I’m sad, bored, anxious about the fitness center closing, rebellious, confused about what I should do, yet wanting to stay on track with disciplined eating since its been just a few days after finished the lemonade fast/cleanse.
Those were the thought I tapped ... read more 26 Oct 2005 19 y
eft, fitness center closing
The tapping and meditating has really made a difference this evening.
I went to my evening yoga class where I am the student. Others were gathered by the door and looking at the notification on the door. It said that the fitness center was closing in a few days, it has been sold.
My first thought was ”Oh, what new doors will be opening now?” I was not worried or sad or angry or anxious. If I stop and ponder for a few minutes, I will feel sad and grief because of the people who I love and will not see again regularly. I don’t know that I will ever be in the situation to see NT and ... read more 24 Oct 2005 19 y
eft, chopping onion
DS14 has bloody noses every so often. The shortcut protocol without the 9 gamut seems to work. I need to teach it to him. He uses the longer version. So we stopped it in a minute or so. Normally it takes 5-10 minutes to stop.
I was chopping onions for dinner. You know what you get with chopping onions? Stinging eyes and tears. Its annoying and it stings! So I tapped the shortcut starting with eyebrow point. Not much effect until I reached the lower points: collarbone and especially under arm. That one was best. I would tap some, chop some and tap some. I could feel the stin ... read more 23 Oct 2005 19 y
eft, memory
My DH and I were discussing with whom my DS17 had gone to a dance. I cold see her face but the name was not coming to me. I decided to quit ”trying” to remember and just go back to falling asleep. It still would not pop into my conscious mind. I did one round of tapping and then actively began thinking again. A name popped into my head that rhymed, then I remembered the name. It was cool.
I’m doing a lemonade fast cleanse right now for a few days. Its been amazing. Not felt hungry much at all. I was hoping to feel more hungry so I could do some tapping. I did feel very cold - ... read more 22 Oct 2005 19 y
eft bashed hand
EFT as a pain reliever is so amazing and quick and wonderful.
This morning I was pulling up the stopper on the bathroom sink and my hand slipped off so with full force I bashed the back side of my hand against the bottom of the mirror. Immediately it hurt and stung and began to turn red. It had a tiny cut too. I watched it and felt the pain coming on. It seems that if I had not done anything, this bruise and pain would last for 3 or 4 days. I began tapping the regular places then stayed on the gamut spot for the longest time. Very gradually over a minute’s time the pain lessened and ... read more |
