EFT During Meditation

I made a bit of an awesome discovery this past week. I was getting aggrevated by the fact that I couldn’t get my husband to do something that really meant a lot to me. I wanted him to read a small chapter in a book called The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. We had recently had a converstion where we both were feeling the same exact way which was surprising. I love my husband but evidentally I wasn’t letting him know in a way that he could understand. It was really frustrating to me. I don’t recall how I came across this book but it really opened my eyes as to how different our languages of love were. I was definitely a specific language and I wanted him to read that so he had a better idea.

He left the book on the table for quite a while and didn’t attempt to read it. This just stirred up childhood issues. I realized that as it was happening and took steps to deal with it. I decided that I needed a break and went to meditate using my Immrama meditation CD. Twenty four minutes later, I felt much better. I went back downstairs and did some work. Unfortunately, I wandered into the room where the book was laying on the table and felt the grouch meter increase. I grouched around for a bit and then to go back upstairs and meditate again.

For some reason, as I relaxed into the rain sounds of the meditation, I decided to try surrogate tapping on myself while the meditation was playing. I spent about 5 minutes out of 24 tapping on my issues. I knew what was bugging me so I just “tapped” on them with my mind. I found that the words just came to me. I used to have issues with finding the right words to deal with my feelings. For some reason, the meditation helped me open the blockades and deal easily with the issues. After the meditation was over I felt SO much better. The funny thing is after I was able to really let go of the grouch in me, my husband did take the book and read the part that I wanted him to! I stopped pushing against and it happened. But had he not done that, I think I would have still been okay with it all.

I really like the way the two fit together for me. I have used it several other times and felt so good after the fact. It is really easy to learn eft. You can go and download a free manual that gives you the basics of it all. I have the DVDs that they offer and find that they are really helpful in seeing how it all plays out in practice.
