Recently, when I wake up in the mornings, I find that my finger joints on my left hand (mostly the ring finger) are stiff and swollen. I broke the ring finger many many years ago but it has in the past ‘just’ had a bit larger knuckle than the rest of the fingers.
I have worked on this issue using EFT for a couple of months now on and off. Working through getting older issues, arthritis (can’t be arthritis – only old people get that) and anything I could think of that might be contributing to this.
I have found some relief but nothing permanent.
I decided yesterday to keep digging until I got to the core issue. I use muscle testing to see if I have got there or not. Yesterday I started digging on when did this originate. In my childhood. OK… Now what happened then that I have not yet tapped on.
Suddenly the thought ‘just’ popped into my head that it was to do with being left handed. When I was at school we used dip pens and real ink (no.. not quill! I am not that old!!). Begin left handed I used to smudge my writing at times, even using blotting paper. I had to write at the same angle as the right handed children so I was not allowed to angle my hand at all. What this meant was even though I got top marks in all my other subjects I never got an A for writing.
This does not sound that big a deal does it? Well… not the current me but to the much younger me what it meant was that I could not be perfect. I needed to be perfect in order to ‘get’ my father to show that he loved me in ways I understood. I say it that way as I know he did love me but being brought up in an English post Victorian home he did not show any affection and did not know how to show affection to me or my brother.
I have worked through these issues using EFT some years ago and it helped me a huge amount. Apparently what it did not do was relieve my left hand fingers from the ‘guilt’ of stopping me from getting that perfect score at school and thus the love I so desperately needed.
I cried and cried and cried copious tears both of relief that I had now found this and released it and also tears of sadness that my poor fingers had held this for so many years as ‘punishment’ that they had failed me in my quest for perfection.
I tapped on my fingers forgiving themselves for all these years of carrying this around… that it was safe for them to release this pain now.
Already the pain and swelling has reduced by about 75% and I am looking forward to finishing this issue off so I can totally give my fingers the relief and forgiveness they need.
So for those who say that EFT doesn’t work for them, I say keep digging. If you are sincere in wanting to sort out your issues once and for all, become an EFT digger. Drug free, surgery free, infection free healing – and you are the one who does it all – EFT gets my vote every time.
