Effectiveness of EFT

How effectively the EFT delivers the results that you are set to achieve for yourself, along with miraculous by-products, can be impacted by these three:

1.Being specific

how specific are you in your description of the problem and the new state / outcome that you want for yourself.

For the physical issue this is much easier. If it is a back ache, which part of the back, where all is it spread, what shape is it spread in and if it has a concentrated centre. Then of course, we can look at the the colour, temperature, texture of the pain. For different individuals, the answer to some of these questions will be vivid and for others, it could be the other set.

For the emotional issues again, look at the change that happens in the body. Also, one knows where in the body is that emotion stored (of course, subjectively!) It can be made more specific by the adding the name of the person or event attached with that feeling. for instance, "this interview anxiety", "this boss stress headache", "this mother bias sadness".

2.Being Persistent

I have seen some mammoth wonders resulting from the persistence that some of the client-friends have bring forth. I am sometime embarrassed and always inspired by the kind of persistence that even i find it difficult to generate at times.

A lot of people approach me after reading the article on how the blood platelet of someone i worked with shot up in half a day of intense EFT. There was another case which was exactly opposite in most ways. This young lady was suffering with a blood platelet disorder and we were working over phone. She spoke only smattering of english with a heavy accent. Where she lived was a town where Platelet count facility was also not available. she would go to a town 45 mins away to get the count done. We worked over a period of 10-12 days in various half an hour sessions. I would leave her with homework to do by herself.

When we were still struggling to reach a platelet count of a hundred thousand, she started finding difficult to call as she was finding the outstation calls expensive. I gave her all the phrases to work on.

About a month later, almost forty five days after she started EFT, her reports showed she was well ensconced in a 200,000+ count.

Of course we had done a lot of cleaning, and yes, we did a lot of planting new future choices to stimulate the desire to live, through EFT. But one of the most critical things that made a difference was that she persistently tapped for forty five days!

3.Chunking-Up / Chunking-Down

Or if you are photography inclined, zoom-in, zoom-out . when you have been tapping for sometime without any shift, it is time to do some chunking.

Break the problem or the issue in smaller parts, even if sounds ridiculous at times. If there is "money worry", break it in "this money worry about the rent" "This money worry about the credit card payment" and so on. It might open up the more critical chunks for you and you could tap on them more and for more of their aspects.

And then there can be time when there seem to be so many, simply so many problems, that you don't know where to begin. And it is tiring and overwhelming to go through the countless items on the list. Chunk up. Zoom out. Tap first for "all these problems". If there are too many discomforts,pains or diseases in the body, zoom out and start with "all this illness in the body" or "my diseased body".

The bottom-line really is, DANCE. Go in front, move back. Bend, move. Have fun doing EFT!

Increasing blood platelet count (2)

In my last post, i had spoken of increasing the platelet count. check :
Increasing blood platelet count (1)

I had another success in increasing the Platelet count of a Dengue patient within a month of Tanveer. We were able to reach 175,000 from 34,000 in 4 days. It took a different pace though – it stagnated around 35,000 on the first day of EFT (against the free-fall in the previous days), and then shot up dramatically from the second day. Some learning reinforcement there: for the same starting and end point, EFT could follow different pace and different path. BE PERSISTENT !

Increasing blood platelet count (1)

Read this article in original with EFT Founder Gary Craig's comments on :
http://www.emofree.com/Articles/platelet-count.htm

I had been practicing EFT for more than 3 years then. And staying true to the words of Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, I was using it on EVERYTHING that I came across, and was able to make some brilliant shifts. And then something exhilarating happened.

I got to know of his illness during the week, but on Sunday morning I got to know that the situation was far worse than I thought it was. Doctors were suspecting Dengue Fever, for which, apparently there is no cure in mainstream allopathic medicine.

[There’s a short write-up on Dengue Fever at the end of this article]

Doctors feared that he was on the verge of multiple organ failure; his liver and pancreas had swollen, there was water retention in lungs and abdomen, and his blood platelet count was threateningly low at 30,000 (normal is 250, 000 – 500,000). In short, his was on his death bed.

[Note: A Platelet count below 100,000/volume is alarming - immediate medical attention is required. A Platelet count below 30,000 is fatal. There is fear of spontaneous bleeding, with renal failure and unconsciousness being other complications. A fall in platelet count prevents formation of clots - and this leads to hemorrhage - which results into both INTERNAL & EXTERNAL bleeding - once bleeding starts the situation is almost irrecoverable.]

Since it was a “wait and watch” situation from the doctors’ side, I decided to apply EFT there. When I reached the hospital at 10 am, I found him too weak to tap for himself, and so I started with surrogate tapping on myself. In a couple of hours, he was himself asking to be tapped (he had been exposed to EFT before) and things became more effective. I tapped on him and, whenever he could not speak well, I also said the phrases aloud for him.

I used what I call, the “IS -- Going-Going -- Gone” approach. Let me elaborate on this. The first set–up phrase here is our classic EFT phrase , followed by one or two set-up phrases that describe the negative experience/issue going away/disappearing, followed by final statement of the desired condition (choice).

For platelets we tapped first with

“even though my platelet count is low, I deeply and profoundly love myself”.

This was followed with

“ I bless you and release you, this low platelet count in my blood” and

“I choose for myself, my platelet count fast rising to 150,000”.

(The doctor had said anything between 100,000 and 200,000 would be good and so the CHOICE of 150,000),

and finally,

“I accept my platelet count to be 150,000”.

We also did small variations and modifications for further rounds like “…bless and COMPLETELY release whatever is causing this low platelet count”,

“ I choose my platelet count to be 150,000, right now”.

Acknowledgement is in order for Louise L. Hay, from whose book I picked this creative-compassionate phrase of healing

“…bless you and release you…”.

Similarly, we tapped for other areas, replacing “low platelet count” with “..this swelling in my liver”, “.. this swelling in my pancreas”, “..this water in my lungs” “..this water in my abdomen”;….

and “platelet count 150,000” with “perfectly normal lungs”, and so on. I don’t really have to point out that I was this non-medico, using a combination of medical and layman language to set-up the phrases intuitively.

We did about 4 to 5 complete sets of rounds for each issue till 8 pm, by which time I was itching to know the effects of all this tapping. (Well, asking him to guess his platelet count at the end of the day wouldn’t be of much use, would it? … and unless you do a 0-10 intensity rating post-tapping, you don’t feel you’ve done anything at all, do you, Gary? :-,)

The blood sample was taken, and guess what the platelet count was? 106,000. Please note that no platelet/plasma was given to him externally, through IV or anything.

The doctors, in this case, were unaware of my EFT treatments with him. They needed to explain his astonishing recovery, of course, and so simply said that he unexpectedly responded to their treatments. I did rounds for the next two days also. Gradually, all the indicators returned to normal. He went back to his work in a couple of weeks with a platelet count of 250,000.

EFT can have far reaching applications in treating Blood count disorders as these cases suggest. Through the EFT newsletter, I would like to remind-appeal to all those who are listening: “If nothing else works on a blood count disorder, Try EFT” ! Or as Gary Craig would say, "why not the first ? "

I am contactable for any further sharing that can help us with the same. Please feel free to contact me for any assistance, clarification or any other support that I can provide. Also, please keep me posted with your experiences if you use this for something in the future.

About Dengue Fever:

“The fever is caused by a mosquito bite. The Mosquito acts as a carrier of the Dengue Virus. The virus's main affect is on the PLATELET production. Normally the platelets in our body last for about 4 days and the body replenishes them when required. This virus DESTROYS THE BODY's CAPACITY TO PRODUCE NEW PLATELET's (during the period it is effective). The PLATELET count for a normal person varies from 150,000 – 500,000 per unit volume. On getting infected the patients PLATELET COUNT STARTS FALLING. A PLATELET count BELOW 100,000 /volume is ALARMING - immediate medical attention is required. A PLATELET count BELOW 30,000 is FATAL. (There is fear of spontaneous bleeding, with renal failure and unconsciousness being other complications)

A fall in platelet count PREVENTS FORMATION OF CLOTS - and this leads to HEMORRHAGE - which results into both INTERNAL & EXTERNAL BLEEDING - once bleeding starts the situation is almost IRRECOVERABLE.

As is known to everybody VIRAL DISEASES HAVE NO CURE - you only TRY TO SUBSTITUTE FOR THOSE body functions that have stopped functioning. The ONLY cure is to CONSTANTLY REPLENISH THE BODY WITH PLATELETS. This requires giving BLOOD / PLATELET. Early detection and timely input will prevent HEMORRHAGE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT HEMORRHAGE MUST BE PREVENTED BECAUSE ONCE HEMORRHAGE STARTS YOUR BODY PARTS WILL GET AFFECTED AND STOP FUNCTIONING and finally it leads to Death.”

Getting immediately started with EFT

So you are ready to immediately start using EFT. Okay, come right ahead!

Whatever it is that is troubling you, use the following procedure:

1.Tapping gently, but firmly, with the tips of your fingers in the middle of the eyes, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

(for example, this backache/this headache/this anxiety/this depression/this love-pain/...)

2.Tapping gently, but firmly, with the tips of your fingers on the side of the eye, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

3.Tapping very gently, with the tips of your fingers below the eye, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

4. Tapping gently, but firmly, with the tips of your fingers below the nose, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

5. Tapping gently, but firmly, with the tips of your fingers below the lower lip, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

6.Tapping gently, but firmly, with the tips of your fingers all over the flat bone of the chest, say:
“Even though I have this ………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

If the physical/emotional/mental discomfort that you filled in the blank with has reduced, repeat tapping. This time, say
““Even though I have this remaining………………….., I deeply love myself and completely accept myself.”

Keep repeating such rounds till the discomfort disappears.
