I so enjoyed your post. I have experienced the torrent of emotions through EFT both as someone receiving and someone giving. In time, I learnt how to take my friends through the experience with less tumult but going deep into their hidden zones and finding the magical world below the surface.
Thanks for bringing those memories back to me. <3
That is so interesting, @juliamulcahy. I think EFT is an absolute amazing tool for healing, but whoa! I haven't been back since this experience, quite frankly. I just recently looked up this reaction to EFT and I think Martha wasn't trained enough to deal with something like this. I wouldn't do this alone for myself - I think I feel much safer with someone else there perhaps a little more knowledgeable and attentive. It would have helped a great deal if she explained what was happening - it's scary for anyone to suddenly experience loss of control and have trauma come to the surface.
I had a similar experience with a massage from a remarkable older woman in the Bayou of Louisiana. Her massage room was in a round tower with 360 degree windows with hummingbirds flying around in every window. She told me afterwards, "Now, make sure you take a hot bath with epson salts dear and drink that tea I told you about or you'll be sorry." I ended up doing neither, not understanding that emotions get locked in our tissues of the body (even though she did tell me that) - I just couldn't logically apply that (perception). The next day, halfway through my work day, I was a crying mess. Crying and not even knowing why I was crying - it was a trip!
When you think of all the layers we carry throughout life from experiences we've had, it can become quite weighty in there ;) I think it's always a good idea to do some house cleaning every once in a while.
I would love to hear more about your experiences with EFT and those 'magical worlds below the surface' :)
Wow! It sounds like you have had some amazing shifts and discoveries. I'd love to share more of my experiences with you and I'm sure we'll find a time where this will happen. :)
