Grief, Guilt, Chronic Pain Banished in EFT Tapping Class. What’s the Common Denominator?

 

A Matrix Reimprinting demonstration neutralised a painful recent memory for a participant in one of my tuition classes for beginners learning the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping)  stress relief system .

This woman had recently had to leave her ill, weeping father in a nursing home, where he desperately did not want to be.    Her family had explored every other option, but a nursing home had to be the solution.  The memory was haunting her.

(Matrix Reimprinting is an advanced application of EFT tapping, devised by EFT Master Karl Dawson.)

Helplessness and guilt  

Class members were awed by the rapid change for her, from huge helplessness and guilt — which she might otherwise have suffered for the rest of her life — to peace and acceptance of the new situation, in only a few minutes.

During this 3-hour class, newcomers to EFT had experiences that made them more aware of the potential of this remarkable acupressure technique, to change lives for the better.

They learned to apply the basic 30-second EFT technique.   They volunteered a variety of their personal problems, ranging from physical pain, self-blame, memory of an accident that led to current ill health, and a painful childhood memory, and more.

In every case, their stress decreased in minutes.  In many cases such releases prove to be permanent..

Back pain

Another participant was suffering chronic lower back pain — which dissolved after she tapped.  By the end of the class she was still free of it . She learned that if the pain returned, she needed to process it at a deeper level  with EFT.

While these problems were all different, what was the common factor?  Stress.  EFT tapping relieves stress quickly and gently

Even as beginners, these people went away with enough of this new skill to help themselves and others, including a mother of two who wanted to know how to help her children.

As an EFT coach/practitioner, I see empowering people to help themselves as a high form of healing. Of course, beginners can’t do everything, and complex or serious problems, especially trauma, require more advanced work in EFT tapping.
