Quite a while back now, as I shaved under my arms, I noticed under my
left arm that I had a red spot. Sometimes I get little ingrown hairs
from a previous shaving and, up until recently, they have always gone
away within a few days. This one did not. It got progressively larger
and began to hurt. It got to be about the size of a pea under the skin
and I was seriously considering going to see a doctor about it but I
decided to tap when I was in the shower in the morning. (PLEASE NOTE that if it had not come under control, I would have sought proper
medical care from my health care professional - EFT should not be used
to replace necessary medical attention, care or treatments - use it
always as a complement to your regular health care habits).
Over
a few days, I tapped different things as it evolved; first up then,
finally, down.
The first day I tapped:
Even though I have this
grape in my armpit, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder
phrases: This grape, this nodule, this ingrown hair.
Even though I
have this ingrown hair that is infected, I completely love and accept
myself.
Reminder phrases: This infection, this ingrown hair, this
nodule, this pimple.
I did that little bit then checked the next
morning expecting it to be on it's way out. It continued to grow and
remained painful so I tapped again the second morning, using mostly
imagery:
Even though I have this painful grape under my arm, I
completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases: This painful
grape, this unusual lump, this thing growing in my armpit.
Even
though I have this inflamed, red spot under my left arm, I completely
love, accept and forgive myself for having this spot.
Reminder
phrases: This inflamed tissue, this red spot, this red, painful ball,
this painful grape.
The next morning, I checked it again and it
was the same.
Now, I believe that we manifest things that have
specific meaning for us. Our bodies, when they are "misbehaving"
ultimately always seem to be trying to draw our attention to something
within us that needs to be looked at. With this in mind, I searched my
thoughts and feelings for something I was hiding from myself or that I
wasn't comfortable looking at.
Unfortunately, we don't always speak the
same language as our bodies (I tried symbolically, I tried
figuratively, I tried language...but I couldn't come up with anything) so
I eventually had to give up trying to guess why this was happening.
I was beginning to get concerned when I
decided to read every single item listed in Louise Hay's list of issues
and see if I resonated with any of the meanings (see "You Can Heal Your
Life" by Louise L. Hay - amazing book!).
I didn't find anything that seemed to
pertain exactly to my situation but one word stood out: "festering".
That's what it felt like, that SOMETHING was festering under the skin.
So, for lack of anything more specific to try, I decided to try that.
I
tapped in my shower the next morning:
Even though I have this
festering nodule under my arm, I completely love and accept myself. Even
though something is festering and I don't know what it is, I completely
love and accept myself. Even though I have this festering grape in my
armpit, I completely love and accept myself.
Reminder phrases:
Festering grape, this thing that's festering, I don't know what it's
about, I don't know what I'm festering about, it's festering, something
is festering.
The next morning, FINALLY, it had stopped growing
and was no longer painful. It now felt like a big, soft pea and I was
concerned that it would get to be hard and difficult to dissipate, so I
tapped:
Even though I still have this pea under my arm and I
don't see how my body can get rid of it, I completely love and accept
myself. Even though there's still this pea, my body is resourceful. Even
though I have this soft pea, I completely love and accept myself. Reminder phrases:
This pea, this soft pea, it might become hard, it can't
dissolve, I can't get rid of it, I don't know how to remove it. From
there it diminished again which was great but then I had a little
concern that I might constantly be looking for every red spot caused by
shaving to become another one of these things. I became worried that I
might create more or I might have started a cycle of some sort so I
decided to clear that:
Even though I'm worried that this will
happen again because once you've opened the door it's difficult to shut
it, I completely love, accept and forgive myself. Even though I'm
worried this may happen again, I completely love and accept myself. Even
though I might create more of these by worrying about it, I completely
love, accept and forgive myself for worrying. Reminder
phrases: I'm worried, it might come back, I can't control it, I've
opened the door, there's no stopping it now, I've started a trend. From
there on, I pretty much stopped being concerned about it. It's been
well over two months now and just the other day I remembered that I had
it. I also remembered that I was worried at one point and realized I
hadn't even thought about the issue since it happened. I checked for the
nodule under my arm and it's all gone, so much so that if I hadn't
written it down here I would be unable to even remember which arm it was
under. At the time, I was sure I would always be able to find a tiny
remnant of it having been there but I've checked and felt around and...
nothing. Completely dissolved. Ain't EFT
wonderful?! |
