Jasmine Bharathan from India
gives us the details of using EFT for a simple
resolution of grief. Please note in the ensuing
correspondence with her client (Vijaya) how a
related aspect came up later (an anger issue
related to her deceased father).
An inexperienced EFT'er might
conclude in this case that EFT "didn't work" or
that it "didn't hold." Neither of these is
correct. What happened was that another aspect
showed up that wasn't present during the
original session. As you will see, it was
easily handled.
The Article:
This is a rather straight
forward application of EFT in one of my recent
workshops, but showed powerfully effective
healing of some grave issues. To see the sweet
smile on her face at the end of the workshop was
the best gift anyone could receive for being in
this profession..!
Vijaya had been grieving for
her father past 3 years, still unable to deal
with the loss..
"I miss his physical
presence..."
"I am angry that he left me..."
"I want to be able to look at
his photo without feeling sad.."
"I cannot think of him without
feeling sad.."
"I really want to be free of
this grief.. I have tried everything but I still
cannot get over this.."
In addition, she had developed
an unhealthy craving for chocolate.
A straight forward tapping
first for
"Even though I feel sad
about my father's death..."
She came to a zero in 1 round
of tapping..
When she tried to visualize her
father with eyes closed, the sadness came up
again..
"Even though I am feeling
sad when I look at my father..."
She came to a zero in 2 rounds
of tapping.
There was no more sadness or
grief that she could feel at that point. So we
decided that she would go home and attempt to
look at her father's photo and telephone me if
she felt uncomfortable doing so.
During lunch break, we got a
couple of chocolate bars to tap through the
chocolate craving. The intensity to eat the
chocolate went from high to low as she tapped...
"Even though I want to eat
this chocolate.."
"Even though I crave the
NICE FEELING AFTER EATING the chocolate....."
Bingo... She came down to a
zero.. And did not want to eat it.. At all..!
As a follow through, enclosed
are parts of her emails to my support group..
Hi Friends,
I am Vijaya. I did the EFT
Level 1 course on 29th Jan with Jasmine. I had
been eagerly waiting for this course and when it
happened, I was excited. What I hadn't
anticipated was how quickly my grief and
chocolate addiction of 3 years would vanish!
Jasmine was great at fishing out the exact cause
of my cravings and in a few minutes it was gone.
I still don't get the cravings anymore. After
the seminar ended and I went home, one of the
first things I did was look at my father's
photograph. I could actually look at the photo
without beginning to feel sad and cry. I no
longer think of my father and feel sad.
I was in for another surprise.
I found myself lighter that evening and still
feel so. I am sure I lost weight during the
workshop. Since that day I have used EFT to cure
my insomnia. It took me two rounds of EFT. Now I
sleep well.
Thanks for reading my long
post. Have a great evening!
Best regards,
Vijaya
Hi Jasmine,
Few days ago I dreamt that my
father was home and we were having a family
re-union. In the dream I was so very happy, it
is impossible to express in words. This theme
has repeated in my dreams very often in the
past. Perhaps it is my subconscious expressing
its deep desire thru the dream
I woke up feeling happy whereas
in the past I'd always cry and be sad during the
day. The only feeling I experienced was that I
missed my dad, but it was not as strong as in
the past (before I did EFT. So I didn't do EFT.
Then yesterday, I had an argument with my mom
and I talked about how my dad could have dealt
with the same situation had he been there.
Surprisingly I cried. As I let the tears flow I
found that I was feeling angry that he left me.
Well, this time I immediately did EFT for both
the anger and the remaining sadness and felt
great. Now I feel free and happy.
Love n hugs,
Vijaya
Thank you for the opportunity
to share this here.
Warmly,
