Nick Ortner EFT for Pain

Shocking Facts about Pain

Interviewer Jessica Ortner began the session on Day 2′s World Tapping Summit 2012:Pain Relief with EFT with some shocking facts: More Americans suffer from pain than diabetes, cancer and heart disease combined – an estimated 76 million Americans annually report pain of more than 24 hours duration.

Nick tells of three people who appeared in the movie The Tapping Solution, all suffering chronic pain – back pain and migraines. All had remarkable healing shifts to become pain free thanks to EFT applied over a period of several days.

My most powerful take-outs from Nick Ortner’s World Tapping Summit 2012: Pain relief with EFT session:

Tapping on Pain using the Tapping Tree

Nick referred to EFT Master and coach Lindsay Kenny’s concept of the Tapping Tree as useful when tackling a case of pain using EFT.  Delve into the issues surrounding a trauma or pain by tackling each part of the “tree”.

TAPPING TREE

Leaves: Symptoms

Branches: Emotions

Trunk: Events

Roots: Limiting Beliefs

Write down a list of all the things in each section and tap on them.

Examples given: the belief that the pain will get worse because the doctor said so…what you read on the internet – these can be major contributors to the pain.

Patricia in the movie The Tapping Solution shifted her back pain when she tapped on the shock of the diagnosis and what the doctor had told her – like you’ll never do yoga again.  When she cleared these memories and beliefs she permanently shifted all the pain in her back.

Eventually she went off 4-5 pain medications…6 months later pain free.

Emotions like Anger in the Pain

Ask: If this pain was an emotion, what would it be?

When did the pain first start – what was going on in your life at the time?

Does this pain represent someone? Who is the pain in your neck?

Who comes to mind when you feel the pain?

How do you feel about the pain – eg it keeps me stuck

How do you feel about yourself with this pain? My fault…etc

What does this pain say about who you are? eg shows I’m weak or frail

Who would you be without this pain? What’s the downside/upside of this pain? Is there a benefit to this pain?

Does this pain have a message for you?  eg To slow down

Describe the pain – quality, texture, colour or size

Write things down…then tap.

Final advice given by Ortner is to tackle all aspects as described above when tapping for pain.

One at a time…use intuition – tap on one thing and another will clear…a process…you can get results so quickly. When you get rid of the pain but life continues to happen. It’s a continuing journey.

Conclusion

This World Tapping Summit 2012: Pain Relief with EFT session definitely made a lasting impression on me.

My EFT-Matrix Reimprinting work has generally NOT being about pain and ill-health. Instead I focus on my main strengths of helping clients “get unstuck” with regards to achieving their dreams and goals to live the life they love.

But after listening to Nick Ortner’s session on Pain Relief I can’t wait to offer EFT help to the next friends and colleagues who may be suffering pain.. starting next week with a fellow at my croquet club who is suffering from a painful shoulder which has caused him grief for months. He says it does not seem to get any better, despite cortisone injections. If I can help him and others more effectively it will surely be thanks to Nick Ortner’s session at the World Tapping Summit 2012: Pain Relief with EFT.

Introducing Sally Baker and PSTEC

In this FREE webinar Sally will show you how to take a power word and combine it with PSTEC (Percussive Suggestion Technique), an easy finger tapping energy protocol developed by Tim Phizackerley which is similar – but not the same – as EFT) and use it to switch the patterns in the brain from fearful, fat and hopeless to…empowered, peaceful, controlled about eating healthy.

An overwhelming majority of those struggling with weight issues find that emotional eating, comfort eating, over eating, not exercising and poor self care sabotage their best efforts to get slim, says Sally.

“It’s like there is a switch turned off and they can’t seem to do what they need to do to lose weight… or can’t stop doing the things that keep piling on the weight.

Sally who is in great demand for her specialty of  hypno-gastric band sessions, has a wholistic approach to weight issues as described in her new book Achieve Your Natural Weight, co-written with Liz Hogon.

What’s more, I credit Sally with kick-starting my own amazing weight loss journey a year ago – so far I have shed more than 50 lbs/22.5kg and feel my healthiest – thanks to a low-carb way of eating that bans flour and sugar products and consists of  tons of  fresh vegetables-plus-a-protein meals.

But it all began with self-work using EFT-Matrix Reimprinting PLUS some PSTEC which I discovered was a new finger-tapping protocol to heal trauma and anxiety and help with bulimia and weight loss (among many other appplications).

Working with Sally I discovered and cleared a VOW I had made as a child to use food for comfort and  to pacify my anger at my father in case I hurt him or others.

Once I had this “break-free-aha” with Sally’s help I was able to find and stick to an eating program that was pe

You won’t want to miss out on learning how effective PSTEC is when used for weight loss success – and Sally Baker is happy to explain it all as she shares how you can learn a weight loss power word that has helped Sally’s clients lose weight, reverse diabetes and get slimmer and healthier.

Anger can make you ill

Healing anger with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting could save your health and your life.  And be a blessing to those family and friends so often on the receiving end of uncontrolled anger.

The damage anger does to your body and immune system as proven by scientific evidence revealed in a recent article  by Pat Hagan in the UK Daily Mail made me wonder how many thousands of people could benefit from knowing  how healing anger with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting could do them so much good as it lessened all the dangers and long-term health risks of anger.

Shrinking lungs, a haywire heart, your immune system shutting down...these are just some of the results of unchecked anger.

Whether you have a short fuse and spew out angry outbursts like a volcano or bottle it up inside, the results are seriously damaging, according to The Daily Mail.

Scientific evidence suggests frequent angry outbursts may increase the long-term risk of everything from heart attacks and strokes to poor healing and a weakened immune system.

Researchers at the University of Granada in Spain found ‘looking back in anger’ at past mistakes could make us less able to withstand pain.

They quizzed 50 men and women on their feelings about past events, mistakes made and missed opportunities.

The results, reported in the medical journal PLoS One, showed those who dwelt on the bad things in life were more likely to be sensitive to pain than those who lived life one day at a time.

One possible explanation is that negative moods disrupt the circuitry of the brain.

Certainly, the damaging effects of anger on the body are increasingly well documented.

When we lose our temper, our heart rate increases, blood pressure rises and blood flow to the muscles is increased as part of the ‘fight or flight’ response that prepares us to either engage in combat or flee.

At the same time, glucose levels rise to give muscles the energy they need for action and the adrenal glands pump out more of the hormone adrenaline.

When we lose our temper, our heart rate increases

This enlarges the pupil of the eye for sharper vision and expands the lungs so they can gulp in the extra oxygen they may need.

‘People often feel very energetic when they get angry,’ explains Annie Hinchliff, a chartered psychologist working in anger management.

‘Their heart beats faster, their vision becomes sharper and their hearing becomes quite acute.’

All this is an entirely normal response and once the mood has calmed, these functions all return to normal, without any long-term health consequences.

The risks to health increase when the body is exposed to these ‘emergency’ responses regularly.

It’s thought to cause wear and tear on the cardiovascular system.

The heart is the organ most at risk in someone with an ‘angry’ personality.

Anger is a natural response to certain threatening situations but if you are like a simmering pressure cooker, continuously fuming and fulminating, such rage and hostility will seriously damage your heart and your health. Plus cause fear, anxiety and health problems in those you attack verbally and physically.

One approach that can pay off massively is healing anger with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting. 

I speak from personal experience. For many years I had a reputation for anger outbursts especially when I was under stress or felt justified in letting people “have it”. What I discovered after many years of searching to live a more peaceful, loving , joyous life was that I had bottled up inside me feelings of rage and helplessness going back to my childhood home where my alcoholic father had made our evenings a misery by his drinking and ranting at my mother.

On the one hand I had learned his behaviour as a coping mechanism in times of stress.  On the other hand, I had been “traumatised” by the ongoing situation which went on throughout my childhood and teen years.  What I discovered with emotional healing techniques like EFT, Matrix Reimprinting and The Journey was that these buried traumas ran continously in my unconscious, causing me to have difficult relationships with men and in life.

The good news is that when I could go back in time and release my inner child (or ECHO as we say in Matrix Reimprinting) from her pain and helplessness, and actually lessen the intensity of the painful memories, the anger disappeared forever.

I came to a place of truly forgiving both my mother and father and was no longer plagued by the traumatic memories of those years.  Most important I released anger and fear of men and today enjoy a wonderful loving harmonious relationship with my husband – who I met and married since healing my anger with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting.

Do you “bottle up” your Anger?

According to The Daily Mail article this is even MORE  damaging to your health.

Swedish scientists looked at 2,755 male employees in Stockholm and found those who did not openly express their anger if they were unfairly treated at work doubled their risk of a heart attack.

The men were asked if they dealt with things head-on or let things pass without saying anything.

Those who walked away from conflict without saying anything had double the risk of a heart attack compared to men who challenged authority.
Researchers blamed repeated increases in blood pressure which eventually damaged the cardiovascular system.

As Julian Halcox, professor of cardiology at Cardiff University explains: ‘The evidence is inconclusive, but some studies suggest prolonged anger and hostility increases stress on the cardio-vascular system.

‘It’s good to get things off your chest, and we’re not talking about people who just get angry from time to time.

‘It’s more those for whom anger is a personality trait.’

It’s not just the heart that’s affected by how we express our anger. Scientists at the University of Miami studied 61 men with localised prostate cancer — a tumour that hasn’t spread — to see if the body’s cancer-fighting cells were affected by whether men suppressed or released their anger.

They used a scoring system to assess each patient for anger suppression and then took a sample of blood to measure the cytotoxicity — or strength — of their natural killer cells.

These are white blood cells which attack tumours. They found men who voiced their feelings had more potent killer cells, probably because they had lower stress hormone levels.

So healing anger with EFT-Matrix Reimprinting can save your health -and your life.  Let me know if you have issues with anger and how you have tried to heal it.
