Tapping out a cold
More EFT fun!
Here’s what happened (and why this blog has been so quiet for the last few days)…
I went to Lubbock 10 days ago to visit family. My brother Kurt almost didn’t come because he was just getting over a cold. But fortunately he made it.
On the Saturday we were there, Kurt and I went to the store to pick up some things for a big get-together later that night. While we were driving, I had a passing thought that I might pick up his cold. The next thought was, “oooh — I need to tap on that so it passes right on.” Which I didn’t do.
Fast forward to last Tuesday. Bam — I have a cold. So I start tapping. In the past, colds stayed with me for about 7 days or so. This one only hung around for 3.
I tapped every morning after waking up and every evening before going to bed. I always felt much better after each session.
In the sequences, I would start off with “Even though I have this cold, I deeply and completely love, accept, and forgive myself.” Usually I would find something underneath the cold. Most of the time it was a sense of being overwhelmed.
I learned a couple of things in the process:
- Start tapping as quickly as possible when the thought to do so comes.
- Tap as much as is necessary to feel better. I could have tapped more times each day, particularly when my energy was going down as often happens during the run of a cold.
- Keep a journal of the issues that you tap through — if only because it’s interesting to see what happens and how an issue progresses.
