Using EFT for Physical Healing
Nowhere is there more obvious evidence for the existence of the mind-body connection than in EFT. By now, you have witnessed (and I hope experienced) dramatic physical healing on several levels. Thousands of physical ailments befall human beings, for which the healing sciences have developed a wide array of remedies.
These remedies range from laying on of hands to drugs & surgery to fasting to mental imagery. They all seem to show results for some people, some of the time. However, none of them work for all people, all of the time.
Here is a beginning list of the physical ailments that have been addressed by EFT with either partial or complete success: Headaches, back pain, stiff neck and shoulders, joint pains, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, asthma, allergies, itching eyes, body sores, rashes, insomnia, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, eyesight, muscle tightness, bee stings, urination problems, morning sickness, PMS, sexual dysfunctions, sweating, poor coordination, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, numbness in the fingers, stomachaches, toothaches, trembling, multiple sclerosis.
There are many, many more. A complete list is several times as long. Try it on everything. I try EFT on every physical ailment presented to me and am repeatedly astonished at the results. I don’t have 100% success (who does?) but often EFT will provide startling relief where nothing else seems to work.
Based on my experience, EFT works so well that it should be included in every healer’s toolbag. And I’ll go a step further. I think it should be one of the first tools the healer uses. Here are the reasons: The relief from symptoms is usually immediate. It often works when nothing else will. It is easy to apply. It takes very little time. It is not habit-forming.
I don’t know any other healing technique that can make all these claims. Do you? Nonetheless, EFT does not replace medicine or any other healing practice. It is best to work with other healing practitioners. The undeniable fact is that EFT deserves a prominent place in the physical healing hall of fame. Even the most casual observer must greet the results with great respect.
But the obvious question is: Why does it work? Why, if its original design is to address emotional issues, does the identical process work so remarkably well on physical problems?
Many mysteries surround the healing sciences, which is why research in this field is an unending process. EFT is no exception. Just as the proper flow of blood throughout the body is vital to one’s physical health, so is the proper flow of the body’s energy. Balancing it with EFT is bound to promote physical healing.
It is undeniable that negative emotions contribute to physical ailments. To the extent that EFT neutralizes these negative emotions, the physical symptoms appear to subside.
Questions and Answers
Q. How long will it take to get relief? There is no hard and fast rule for this. Symptoms often fade away in a matter of minutes, although occasionally there is a delayed reaction for a few hours. Relief from the underlying disease could take days, weeks, or even months. So, be persistent and make sure to consult with your physician. Many people are tempted to discontinue medication as healing takes place. This should only be done with the guidance of your physician.
Q. Can I address several symptoms at a time? No! Use The Basic Recipe on each symptom independently. Start with the most severe symptom and work down. Don’t be surprised, however, if working with one symptom generates relief for the others. This happens frequently.
Q. Can I really expect results from EFT for long-standing, severe diseases? I am well aware that conventional wisdom suggests that many long-lasting diseases are permanent fixtures in one’s health profile. Accordingly, to suggest that they can be measurably reduced or eliminated by methodically tapping on the energy system is indeed radical. It is outside the beliefs of almost everyone I have met. However, I have personally witnessed many startling examples of this, and I would be remiss if I didn’t report them to you.
Q. How often should I apply The Basic Recipe to my problem? For symptoms such as headaches, pain, upset stomach, etc., perform The Basic Recipe whenever you want relief. For the underlying disease, it should be done 10 times per day until you are satisfied with the results. The 10 daily rounds of The Basic Recipe should be spread throughout the day. A good way to do this is to link them to your habitual routines, such as:
- When you wake up in the morning.
- Before you go to bed at night.
- Just before each meal.
- Every time you use the bathroom.
It is also important to apply EFT to every specific event that may be causing the physical ailment. Applying The Personal Peace Procedure will also help.
Q. Will you please discuss some of your experiences with various physical ailments? Of course. Please remember that the examples listed below represent only a tiny portion of the possible ailments that EFT can address.
Back pain
I know many people who have significant damage to their backs, and the reasons for their pain are evident in their X-Rays. Nonetheless, after a few minutes of EFT, their pain faded dramatically. This doesn’t appear to make sense until you recognize that stress shows up in the muscles which, in turn, exert abnormal strains on our joints. Relaxing the muscle tension through EFT thus reduces unnecessary stress on the joints, resulting in less pain. I have lost count of how many back pains I have seen subside. Some pains vanish completely and never return, while others require a daily tapping routine to keep the pain at bay.
Headaches and stomachaches
I estimate that at least 90% of the cases I have witnessed regarding these symptoms have responded very well. Most of them faded away completely within a few minutes of using The Basic Recipe.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
I once had a business dinner with Anne, whose carpal tunnel wrist pain was at a level 7. After less than 2 minutes of using The Basic Recipe, the pain disappeared altogether and didn’t return for the rest of our meeting. Needless to say, she was astonished since nothing else had ever given her relief. Although our paths have not crossed since then, my guess is that her problem has either greatly reduced or disappeared.
This is the type of problem, however, that tends to come back, so additional tapping would likely be necessary.
Psoriasis
Donna’s psoriasis was so severe that she had difficulty wearing shoes. Her medications were not helping. After tapping routinely for a few days, 90% of it went away.
Allergies
These usually respond well. I have seen many people eliminate sinus drainage, itching eyes, sneezing, and a host of other allergy-related symptoms.
Constipation
Results vary widely here, but in my experience, success is usually achieved. One person experienced instant and permanent relief with one tapping session. Others needed to tap daily for a few weeks before years of constipation subsided.
Please remember that you will not always experience immediate relief from your physical ailment, and sometimes the tapping will not appear to work. Be patient and persistent. All you are expending is time. The odds are in your favor if you stick with it. This applies to all ailments, not just constipation.
Eyesight
I have seen many people improve their eyesight with EFT, at least temporarily. People have come up on stage with me, done The Basic Recipe for eyesight, and then reported noticeably clearer vision. I have not followed up on this, so I cannot report on any permanent changes. However, I suspect that permanent improvement is possible with persistence.
Arthritis
Arthritic pain often reduces under The Basic Recipe. I’ve witnessed this many times. Due to the underlying condition, however, the pain tends to return. Thus, you must address both the symptoms and the underlying disease. Can you reverse arthritis and eliminate it forever with EFT? I don’t know because no one, to my knowledge, has persistently used these techniques for this purpose. Conventional wisdom tells us that arthritis is not reversible. It cannot be cured; it can only be arrested.
However, I was diagnosed with arthritis in 1986 and have no sign of it today. I didn’t use EFT at the time because I wasn’t aware of it. It disappeared as a result of fasting and changes in my diet, lifestyle, and frame of mind. I’m convinced that EFT would have expedited my recovery.
