there is someone i wanted to forgive, had tapped on repeatedly, and had no luck with. i had a breakthrough experience...
Thanksgiving, it is 30- ish degrees out, has snowed, and I am going to dinner with my husband… I decided to walk, its about 2 miles to the restaurant. Well I was doing eft as normal, which i've done alot while taking walks... i tapped on releasing my rage, anger, and hatred for TB.
“Even though I have hatred for tb…....
"Even though I have rage for tb for what he did for me…....
"Even though I have this deep wellspring of anger… (wellspring seemed like the right word, i tapped on that one for a good while).
i didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere, i'd been tapping on this for a few months, actually, and was feeling frustrated.
So finally I got the idea to ask for help, from god, while tapping. So I did this. This was my eft statement...
“I’m asking for help to release any emotions towards tb that are holding me back from recovery...
"asking for help to release any way in which my emotions for tb are holding me back from moving freely...
Did this for a few times…. Then felt a very quick ‘dink dink,’ which was something falling off the front of my stomach area. I'd noticed before that some my anger towards him had been held in my tummy. Well I was happy as a muddy pig. I knew this thing had finally begun to release. The rest of my thanksgiving was great cuz I knew I’d taken a step!
unrelated to this, when i've been doing EFT, i get really fancy on my 'deeply love and accept myself statements... i add a few things...
"even though ... i deeply love, accept, and support myself, including every cell of my body.' and sometimes i get really carried away and add "deeply love, accept, support and cherish myself, including every cell of my body" i add any words which add meaning.
i've started doing the bowen technique, which seems very EFT-like in that the cause of the trauma gets released, but does it through the sensory pathways. http://www.bowendirectory.com/ http://www.thebowentechnique.com/
