Zen Therapy - ‘The art of no hand tapping’

Share

Whilst on a flight a couple of years ago, as I sat shoe-horned in to my undersized seat (or maybe it’s my body that is oversized)… I became aware of a highly attentive stewardess paying all of her attention, sadly not to me, but to an elderly lady who she escorted to a seat, an aisle seat like mine, some 3 or 4 rows ahead of me. The stewardess in her stewardess voice, (I wonder if they get issued one along with the uniform?), reassured the elderly lady that she was aware of her and would return to check on her throughout the flight to which the elderly lady said her thanks as she buckled in for the flight home.

After scanning the safety card and the bad articles in the in-flight magazine, I began to look around the cabin as the plane taxied out for take-off. I tend to notice peoples watches (I have a thing for nice watches) and as I was looking forward I noticed the watch but more so the hand of the elderly lady and noticed she was in a ‘white knuckle’ situation state, a kind of Defcon level 1 regarding the impending flight. When we have TFT at our fingertips, it is all too easy to want to cure the world and this can sometimes be perceived as a little invasive. Also as I have learnt to wait to be invited in before I create any such ‘tappenings’. As with all things, however, there are exclusions to the norm and I felt this was such a case that warranted such an intervention. Sadly physical restraints such as the seat belt and the 15-foot distance made this impossible. So I thought…

I like the word Impossible especially when you add a dash of ‘what if’ and convert it into Im’possible, so I began to let my mind wander and wonder what if, from here, I was to imagine tapping the relevant points on the distressed elderly lady and find out what happened. So I did. Imagine that… I tapped with my thoughts into her thought field and saw the hands relaxing as I was going through the appropriate algorithm in my mind as I focused on the distress of the elderly lady in question. She relaxed and so did I and I began to think about the possibilities of a whole new level of surrogacy with TFT and tying it in with my knowledge of the work of Rupert Sheldrake and also Edgar Mitchell and his theories on quantum holograms etc. (Google time I know). What are the limits? I don’t know…. Yet. I want to find out… Now shall we explore some more...

You see as I did her hands relaxed indicating to me she was getting more relaxed about the flight and at, what seemed, the appropriate moment, I stopped the surrogacy ‘remote’ work and began my hunt for other nice things to look for…’watches’.

As I watched the elderly lady remain relaxed until we were descending and then hit a little turbulence, at which point she began to white knuckle it again. So once again my mind wandered ‘what if’…? And so I found out and noticed, as she began to relax again back into both the seat and her previous relaxed state. Now even though the air was a little humid and sticky, I thought ‘cool’ and let my mind wander some more about the Im’possibilities of what was possible with this new toy.

Roger has always advised us to retain a sense of ‘wonderment’ (to plagiarise a Disney phrase) and I love the moments in TFT when I get those real “hairs on my arms standing up” moments. This was such a wonderment moment. I was even more delighted as when we were disembarking the highly attentive stewardess went to collect the elderly lady and when asking how she was, was met with the reply ‘Oh dear’…’I am fine that was a really pleasant flight one of if not the best I have had, and I thought it would be terrible like the others’…’Cool’ my little internal voice registered the moment.

So what next…well nothing!! Sorry…

I returned to practice TFT in the way I know works so elegantly and exquisitely well in my clinic with my clients. After all, why change a perfectly good way to do something well.

So, rolling on a few months in time…..

I was doing a stage demo with Paul McKenna and, in my session at the weight loss seminar, when I asked the audience if anyone was in some noticeable pain. An audience member raised her hand and I asked her to come to the stage so I could demo the power of TFT in pain relief on her. She then informed me her knees would not allow her to make the 3 stairs up to the stage as they were in too much pain right now. Now I could have asked for another member to come up as the demo but, I remember a thought I had registered previously about TFT and distance, stood with my chin supported in my fingers and said “Okay, you stay there. I’ll do it from here” Then immediately thinking, ‘uh oh’…’you are in a room full of 400 plus people. This could be a tough one if not Impossible’…’oh well, go for it. What’s to lose?’ Just do it! I am of the school of Jedi’s that does not believe in trying, as Master Yoda once said to Luke as he was training him...

‘Do or do not…there is no try’

So I asked the lady to raise her hand so I could see it (I wanted a clear line of sight to the gamut spot…I knew my snipers training would come in useful one day)… The lady complied and affirmed her pain level SUD was an ‘easy eight’, whatever that is. So I tapped by surrogate remote tapping the g50-9g-sq and took her from an easy eight to a two at which point she came on to the stage and allowed me to take it to a one with an eye roll.

The pain never returned that day. She emailed me and arranged a visit as a client and in a single session we took away the pain and it has not returned since. Even on ‘damp’ days as she put it.

Another member of the audience that day contacted me and asked about the remote tapping thing and how far it worked. To which I replied, ‘I don’t know’, which was a good response as I didn’t and still don’t to this day. She informed me her Father was in some pain with rheumatoid arthritis and asked if I would be willing to work with him. ‘Sure’, I said. ‘Get him along to Harley St and I’ll see him there’. ‘Ah a problem’, she replied. ‘He is in the Limosin region of France and can’t get to London’. She also explained her sister was there living with him.

So I wandered for a moment and thought, then thought a little more, then a lot more and asked if she would email me some photos of her Father including hands face and full body. She agreed and emailed them to me.

At a prearranged time I called the number given after tiling the photos on my PC screen and spoke to the client with Arthritis whilst simultaneously tapping the pictures in my thoughts. I think, by now, you know where this is leading. Yes?

I would, by now, like to have been surprised when I heard his other daughter say with a gasp ‘Oh my goodness’ followed by ‘ are you okay dad’? ‘The stiffness is going and I tingle in my joints’, he reassured her.

Well we did some more work and he taps daily including CB2 treatments and using rescue, which I suggested, and he is now back in his garden almost daily.

Since then I have used the remote surrogacy as a demo when on stage with Paul and in my algorithm trainings too and encourage my trainees to play with it and experiment with it using it within the structure and architecture of TFT as developed by Roger and to use the sequences prescribed in the algorithm tables supplied.

So how does it work? Well the obvious answer is, ‘Very well’, as Roger would say, and to be honest I am happy with that response.

To quote Einstein ‘The only true test is reality’ and my reality is that I have had positive experiences with this form of surrogacy when it has been required.

I must emphatically state though, that it does not take place of my normal TFT applications either at Algorithm or at DX level but, supplements it and supports it when my mind wanders…….if it’s needed at all.

I encourage you to explore too. The real beauty of TFT is that it does no harm and if your intent is good then so should your result be too.

I leave you with a few more quotes to chew over . . . . . . . . . . .
