EFT Case Story: A Stressful Situation

I had a very stressful experience a couple of weeks ago when my border collie collapsed one afternoon. Firstly I experienced fear and panic so I breathed and tapped before phoning the vet. I was very calm and coherent talking with the receptionist, despite the concern I was feeling for my dog.

I then had to take her to the veterinary clinic - I had never been there before. I tapped for fear of not finding it. I then realised I had misplaced my mobile phone. Panic! I tapped again and although I still couldn't locate it, I knew it would be ok, that I wouldn't need it. I was calm and felt safe to drive.

I went straight to the Clinic without a hitch and calmly took my dog in to be examined. She was very poorly and I had to leave her for blood tests - first time away from home in 11 years! I tapped just gently on my collarbone point, most of the way home, praying that she would be ok.

That night I went to bed full of fear, it was a very intense emotion. I felt scattered and totally stressed. As I lay quietly, I did the Heart and Soul Protocol and then I imagined tapping through the points on the word stress. After a couple of rounds of this imagined tapping whilst focusing on my breath, I felt clearer and calmer. Having stripped away the panic, I was able to focus on the feeling of fear, fear that she might die, and once again, I imagined tapping gently through the points supporting the tapping with the breath.

This exercise clearly showed me how powerful this way of tapping is. If I hadn't started this course, I would have tapped but I truly believe the result would not have been as positive. I was able to sleep which was a blessing. The following day, I continued to use the tapping and, when, later that day, I collected my still sick dog, from the clinic, I was able to be speak with the vet and be loving towards my dog without falling apart.

I would say that when I have used conventional EFT, with the "even though......" set up statement, it has only really worked well for me when either I have had a physical issue, like the burnt palm. And in that case I haven't had to use the set ups and have simply tapped because I have been completely tuned in to the pain. Or when I have been helping someone else, where somehow my intuition has kicked in and then I have seen its power at work.

The combination of the H&S Protocol, the breathing, and the very gently form of tapping using the word stress has clearly demonstrated to me the amazing power of this form of EFT. Brilliant!
