A few weeks ago I went to our little store around the corner to buy a few things. I have been a regular customer there for about five years now and have known the guy behind the counter for quite some time. I have already helped him a few times to solve some emotional and physical problems with EFT. Basically, I was only able to do some quick fixes and emergency tapping on him, due to his work situation.
When I asked him how things were going, he told me that he would have had some serious stomach problems, sometimes even throwing up blood. She’s already seen a doctor, who told her this could be gastritis, a stomach ulcer, or even cancer and scheduled him for a gastroscopy in the next few days.
Since I have quite a bit of experience in the field of energy healing, I knew that such a diagnosis can cause additional stress and anxiety, which could worsen the condition and/or cause more problems. In addition to that, he told me that from time to time he would have dreamed of dying at the age of 27, which would be within a year. I was quite alarmed and considered doing something about it. Normally, EFT would have been my remedy of first choice, but due to his work situation, ie constant public traffic and customer service, I really didn’t know what to do. Maybe we had no other chance than to make an appointment outside of your work…
Then suddenly it occurred to me that in this case I could try a different, less obvious technique that I had tried several times before with amazing results. I then asked him to think about his idea of dying at age 27 and to rate the intensity of that idea on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 would be no intensity and 10 the highest possible. He said it would be around an eight. I asked him to give me his right hand, took his ring finger, and gave it a short, gentle squeeze three times in a row. He was absolutely amazed, he immediately felt that something was happening in his body, the energies were flowing and things were lighting up. The intensity of him instantly dropped to a five or six.
I repeated those steps (intensity index and finger squeezing) two more times, and after a few more seconds it told me the problem would be gone completely.
So what did I really do?
After getting him to look at his problem and rate the intensity, I took his ring finger (it doesn’t really matter which finger you use) with my thumb and index finger. Now, as I focused on him, imagining him with his problem (which may not be necessary, but he seems to be very powerful), I gave my first command (silently): “Search everyone!” At the end of the line, I gave his finger a short, light squeeze. Next command (again silent): “Delete everything!” I squeezed his finger again. Last command (again silent): “Delete everything!” And again a squeeze of fingers. That was basically it.
What was next?
In order to prevent this issue from recurring, I saw the need to get to the core issue and clear it up as well. (Sorry, I can’t go too deep into the how’s and why’s of the core issues in this short article.) So I asked him, “What was going on in your life just before you had the idea of dying at age 27?” He told me that he had been on drugs for quite some time, which occasionally would have caused him extreme fear of dying of a heart attack. I also had him rate the intensity of that problem, which turned out to be an absolute ten. Then I applied this “squeeze technique” again, that is, I squeezed his finger three times, while silently giving my commands. (By the way, those commands don’t have to be given silently. I just wanted to avoid drawing too much attention from clients to what we were doing.) Its intensity was instantly reduced by two points. After repeating the steps two more times, the intensity of the problem and the emotional impact dropped to zero and she really did look very different.
My last step was to have him look at the diagnosis of maybe having a stomach ulcer or cancer. The intensity she rated was a 10 related to her anxiety. So I again applied the technique on him, and after two more repetitions, the problem/emotion was gone: no more fear, no more anxiety.
Then he felt really good and enjoyed the energies that flowed around his body. By the way, he was still going to get a proper diagnosis from his doctor, which I think is mandatory.
The next day when I stopped by the store, my friend behind the counter was absolutely blown away. He couldn’t wait to tell me what had happened and how he felt. Since yesterday he was “clicking” (pressing) by himself (without any command). Every time something negative arises, a thought, an emotion, etc. -, he would have immediately squeezed one of his fingers, until that something had disappeared. He told me that it would be completely positive, he would no longer have stomach pain, he would no longer be afraid of gastroscopy, he would just feel happy.
I was quite amazed! I really couldn’t believe it and from my experience I can tell you that kind of result is not common but sometimes it happens. However, for the sake of completeness, I should also mention that in some rare cases I did not produce any results with this particular technique.
