Accompanying Handout: The Tapping Tree for Physical Issues
A VIDEO WORTH WATCHING:
For us to be ambassadors of the good news that people have the power to participate in their healing, especially by using EFT, we need to know this territory well and have information and examples to share with people. Read Bruce Lipton and Dawson Church; look for Bruce Lipton on YouTube or in iTunes. This information changes lives. And please take a look at this 14-minute video about Dr. John Sarno whose book Healing Back Pain is another great convincer for anyone who doubts that the body, mind, and emotions are deeply connected. Dr. Sarno gets results healing chronic back pain with these ideas alone — can you imagine if you added tapping…?
The 20/20 episode that is featured in the video is from 1999! But still powerful and relevant. Dr. Sarno passed away in 2017 at the age of 93. Fascinating that there is a whole website dedicated to the thank you’s he has received from people who got their lives back thanks to his information. This is an active site with stories from the last few years. www.thankyoudrsarno.org. Again, although Dr. Sarno is not directly related to EFT, this makes such a point of how intricately connected the body and emotions are. And think of how tapping would enhance and support his approach..
Finally, I want to be clear that none of this implies that back pain or any other pain is not physically real; it may or may not respond to body-mind approaches. Sometimes we need a physical intervention to help the body to heal, such as surgery or medications or physical therapy or other treatments. In those cases, tapping can facilitate the body being able to cooperate with the treatments. In every case, we respect our body and whatever messages our body is giving us with pain — and in some cases, that is the message that it needs physical intervention. EFT can aid and assist in those situations too.
Audio 2 – Case Example – Betty’s Headache Story (15:07)
I’ve decided to be vulnerable once more (tap, tap) and share a personal story. The tapping results impressed even me.
