Very basic EFT alleviates back pain that had been present for 5 years – a 2 month follow-up indicates no return of the pain
Hi Everyone,
Here's another pain case where the EFT results are, once again, remarkable. Note how the author, Sylvia Ross, touches a pain spot before using EFT on it. This helps the client "tune into" the specific pain.
Hugs, Gary
Dear Gary,
I met with a 58 year old female neighbor who had been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia approximately 10 years previously. She woke up one morning and just couldn’t get out of bed and could barely move. Bonnie (not her real name) also has a history of seizures but had not had any this past year. She is on six different medications, including a type of morphine for pain.
She had not had the opportunity to view your Introductory Video before her appointment, so that was the first step. Thank you for the video - it makes believers out of first time clients. Bonnie then gave me an overview of her history which included many of the insights for CFS listed in “Messages from the Body” by Dr. Lincoln; including mental and physical abuse from her mother, workaholic, perfectionist, and the list goes on and on.
As she told her story her stress level was rising. I was concerned about her history of seizures so I had her stop and fill out a short intake form listing two symptoms with their levels of intensity on a scale of 0 to 10. The first was upper back pain with a level of intensity of 7 out of 10. The second was lower back pain with a level of intensity of 10 out of 10. Both pains she’d had on and off for 5 years and their intensity had increased as she brought forth memories in session. She listed her basic wellbeing at a stress level of six.
We then did one round of EFT for pain in her back and I had her gently touch and tap all the points while I rubbed her Gamut Point on her right hand. It was all very soft spoken as I was concerned about her seizure history and the setup statements were basic.
Even though I have this pain in my back at this intensity and all these memories have added to it, I completely love accept and forgive myself, and any one else.
I asked for a rating on her pain, fully expecting not much movement and after a look of puzzlement she said, “It’s gone!” and then she started to yawn at least 10 times. I thought she might fall asleep at the table. At that point it was time for her to go. She talked about how wonderful she felt and wanted me to see her son who has MS and her husband who also has back problems. Taking an EFT Chart she promised to tap at home.
A couple of days later I stopped in to see how she was doing and again she told me how well she felt and her back pain had not returned. The only tapping I did with her that time was for a trigger point on the bottom of her foot which she has had since she had major surgery on her ankle after a car accident. I touched the spot to make sure we had located it and then we did one simple round. Again the pain was gone!
For some reason, me touching the sore spot before I do a round of tapping seems to benefit the process. I use it often and have had extremely good results - usually one or two rounds will clear the pain. It seems to work better than verbally describing the location in the PR Statement which I also do.
Two Month Update: Bonnie’s back pain has not returned! I saw her casually in her yard recently and she actually looked surprised when I asked her about her pain. She had gall bladder surgery a couple of weeks following her original session and had some complications from the surgery, but she assured me that she had no back pain.
Blessings,
Sylvia S Ross EFT-ADV
