One of the ladies who attended my class teaches Kindergarten and invited me to her class a couple of times to teach her kids EFT. Kids readily embrace the tapping much faster than we as adults do. Since music is very important to me, I came up with a song for the kids to teach them the different tapping points. When I came back the next week and was demonstrating the tapping points again, one little kid raised his hand and pointed out that I had ‘forgotten’ one point. They’re fast learners!
Two young ladies attended my class one night, and it was their first experience with an EFT Tapping Group. During the class I give everyone the option of being tapped on. Also, if someone is hesitant to share with the group their issue or concern – we can still tap on them as long as the person being tapped on is actually “tuned in” to his or her own issue. This particular night one of the ladies wanted us all to tap for her without actually revealing the situation. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does, we can ask that a title be given – as though you’re giving a name for a movie. That’s what she did that night.
The next week the ladies returned – smiling – looking energized and definitely more than willing to share with the class. Apparently when they had come the week before, they both wondered what kind of weird experience they had gotten themselves into. However, the one lady really wanted to share what had happened. During her tapping the week before – she had “tuned in” to a sad situation involving members of her family. Her mom and dad had been divorced for a few years. Her brother was still extremely angry with their mom for divorcing their dad and had refused to have any communication at all with her.
The very next day her mother called her and she could immediately hear by the tone of her voice that she was happily excited. Her brother had “Out Of The Blue” picked up the phone and called his mom for the first time in a few years. Her mom told her that they talked for almost 2 hours and that her brother had repeatedly apologized for not having communicated with her for such a long period and also apologized for primarily blaming her for the divorce. She realized that when her brother picked up the phone to call his mom that it happened sometime after she had been tapped on in class. She felt that a miracle had happened as a result of the focused energy and intent of everyone in class and I readily agree with her. I’ve been a student of “A Course In Miracles” for many years and firmly believe that miracles happen everyday if we just look for them. This was clearly a demonstration for Surrogate Tapping which we sometimes do in class. If you mentally surround the person being Tapped On with LOVE – then miracles can happen.
(I would just like to add here that I’m totally grateful to God that He has led me to become an EFT Practitioner and that while I’m helping other people in their healing process that I’m also being healed. I believe that “The Holy Spirit of God” directs the energy of the Tapping in my groups and gives me the thoughts and words that I say when I’m tapping on someone. It’s a form ofmoving prayer.)
One night a gentleman came in to class walking very slowly using canes to support himself. When it came his turn to tap he told us that he has MS and that the pain in both his legs is constant. When we finished the round of tapping, he looked very surprised and said that the pain had considerably diminished and he looked very surprised. I oftentimes wonder when people only come for one session whether or not they have received benefits. Well, a few weeks later, this man’s wife came to class without her husband. She said that he was showing excitement she had not seen him display in a very long time and that he was so excited about EFT that she had heard him calling his male friends and relatives from Jamaica trying to teach them where the tapping points were so that they could also tap on themselves. This is exactly the kind of fuel I need to continually keep me motivated and excited about what I’m doing.
A lady came to class and told us about a crisis situation she had experienced the previous week. She had been driving in her car and began having chest pains which were traveling down her arm. She went to the Emergency Room of a hospital that was close by and was put in a room to wait for an available doctor. While she was waiting she started tapping on herself – using EFT. Apparently the crew in ER thought she was a little whacky. Luckily, an enlightened female doctor came in and started reading her chart. The Doctor asked her why she had been beating on herself. When she explained – the doctor smiled and started making different notations on her chart. She then told the patient that it had been written and documented on her chart that she was beating herself with her hands. This Angel Doctor happened to be very familiar with EFT. After being thoroughly checked out for the heart scare – absolutely nothing was found to be wrong with her heart. Another EFT Miracle? I really think so.
When I initially started doing the classes, Mike, my husband didn’t attend. I was very successful at keeping him away. My reasoning was that since he’s an engineer and very analytical he wouldn’t adapt to this alternative way of healing. (Actually, the first time I presented tapping to both my daughters, they had a bout of hilarious laughing. They told me I looked like a monkey with all the gestures I was making with my hands.) Getting back to Mike . . . After a period of time keeping him away, I finally softened up a bit and told him that he could join the class. I’ve experienced quite a lot of surprises and sometimes have been amazed with how much he’s contributed to our weekly gatherings. On one particular night he had been experiencing weakness and pain in one of his arms. He was very concerned that it was becoming a permanent disability. During a tapping round, he suddenly announced that the pain was gone!! It’s sometimes hard to contain the excitement that’s created when we experience happenings like this.
Terrie Stieferman’s unique tapping and breathwork emotional release technique is something I highly recommend to everyone and anyone who wants to experience a level of inner peace. I can only describe this as pure bliss. I am a raw and living food chef and educator and am so fortunate to have worked with Terrie at Living Foods in Atlanta. Her workshops often followed my classes and I would rearrange my day whenever possible to make sure I could stay and participate in her group sessions. Terrie is one of the kindest, most compassionate and talented Light Worker I have ever been blessed to know.
Early in my healing journey I had experienced a moment of bliss that I didn’t understand at the time. However, it changed me forever. This moment of complete and total understanding that all things are absolutely perfect seemed to come out of nowhere and stayed with me for a few moments and then disappeared as suddenly as it came. I often thought of that moment and wondered what it was – what caused it – where did it go – and especially how do I get it back? Terrie is the Angel who answered my prayer.
The very first time I worked with Terrie and used her emotional release technique, I discovered HOW to access that beautiful feeling of peace and perfection that came over me “out of nowhere” so many years before. I was moved to tears as my emotional blocks suddenly lifted and the feeling of lightness completely engulfed me. The word that comes to mind is “ecstasy”. All I knew in that moment was forgiveness and love. There was nothing “wrong” despite outward appearances I spent the majority of the session immersed in this exquisite feeling of inner peace sending love and forgiveness to all whom I had previously perceived to have injured me at some point or another.
Imagine underneath all that mental clutter of stress, fear, judgment, blame and shame which creates so much dis-ease and discontent in us and in our world is perfect peace. We are all perfect and innocent. I am forever grateful to Terrie for showing me a technique that allows me to get back to peace whenever I perceive it has slipped away. I know this inner peace is the key to perfect health. This peace invites healthy and loving action. Terrie’s technique is the starting point for all personal, positive change. I would say, “Start here and then move into the kitchen.” Terrie is truly a gift to the world. I am forever grateful to have been blessed by such a talented and gifted teacher. My life is forever changed for the better.
