Hi, I was wondering if more experienced EFT people would be willing to share their ideas on approaching the control of regrowth of  remnants of a brain tumor.   I've had most of my meningioma (benign brain tumor) removed surgically 2 months ago. Now if the remnants of tumor won't grow back, I am fine.  Therefore, I am trying to get to the core of the issues that caused the tumor to grow in the first place (it's been growing for over 20 years and I am only 36 years old).

 The reiki master with a spiritiual connection that I am seeing, told me that the cause of this tumor is that in a past life I was the Holocost victims.  She cut the cord to my past life, so according to her I should be fine now.  She told me to top EFT on word "burden". It didn't have much effect since I have hard time relating to it. 

I feel that I had quite a bit of emotional buggage in my present life.  Should I try to neutrilize all emotional issues one by one and that should eliminate the cause for tumor re-growth?  

 I also was tapping on the illness itself: "Even though I have tumor surgically removed and only little bit remained, I choose to dissolve the remnants of the tumor"  But do you think that it's dangerous to use the word "tumor"?  I am afraid that litteral subconsious would be allerted by this word and it would have an opposite effect.

The reiki master suggested to use the following: "Even though my body created this illness, I choose to be in perfect health".

According to Louis Hay the affirmation for brain tumor should be "It's easy for me to reprogram the computer for my mind".  So I was using: "Even though my body created this illness,  It's easy for me to reprogram the computer for my mind".

What are your suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Galina

I haven't had any experience with tumours, but as EFT is more about beliefs and energy blockages than how to deal with specific illnesses, I thought I'd reply with a few thoughts since you haven't had a reply.  It's great that you are using EFT to help with your healing, it can make a really big difference. Here's a few ideas in case they help you:

1.  Only take on board anything someone else says if it rings true with you.  When we are working with Reiki we can often pick up impressions, but I've found sometimes the wires are crossed and we are picking up our own stuff and thinking it belongs to someone else.

2.  I'd look at tapping in two main areas - the things concerning you right now (lightning your load and clearing the current emotional baggage will make a big difference) and the things that were happening in your life in the lead up to the tumour developing.  You said it was 20 years ago, so I'd look to events in your life that may have resulted in unprocessed emotions back then.

3.  I'd also look at any beliefs you have around the tumour and the likelihood of it causing more problems for you, make a list of any beliefs you have and tap on them.  You may need to tap on things doctors have said to you too.  It could be supportive to work with an experienced practitioner on this as we have some very creative ways of hiding our own beliefs from ourselves!

4.  I don't personally think it is dangerous to use the word tumour, so long as you clear any beliefs you have around it.  To me the most important thing to focus on is that your body only creates a tumour as a solution to a problem, and focusing on the problem that caused it in the first place and removing that will mean that your body has no need to re-create the tumour.

5.  Any affirmation that is going in the direction you want to that feels right for you will be good for you.  The most important thing to realise is that the power of affirmations is often in the silent voice that disagrees with them, so it would be well worth spending some time quietly tapping with the affirmation you decide on and listen to any voices that say things like "that's not going to happen" or "that's not possible" etc and tap on them.  Affirmations are very powerful, but to be sure that it is your chosen affirmation you are working with it is very important to clear what Gary Craig calls the tailenders.  If you aren't aware of this concept, I recommend reading Gary's work on Palace of Possibilities. 

Very best wishes,

Jo

Hi Galina!

Where exactly was your benign tumor located in your brain? Left or right side?

After working extensivily with Dr. Hamer's theory and "Messages from the Body" over the past 4 years with EFT, I believe that blocked energy to a specific acupoint is the beginning of all problems, caused by an emotional trauma, not surprising. :~) but, it is an extension of Dr. Hamer's work and GNM.  If we can locate the specific acupoint, it will also give you information on which Meridian is involved, which will give you further areas to treat.

I used this method recently, to relieve edema in my right leg after a leg injury. Through, Muscle Response Testing and testing for soreness, I compiled a list of acupoints from all Meridians that serviced the area from my knee down, I then EFT'd each problem point, with a running dialogue of this sore-spot, caused by blockage from some emotion, choosing to heal etc. In a matter of a few days, the edema was gone, along with an infection and my leg healed very quickly. This was after, 6-7 weeks of doctor's care and very slow progress.

I have develped some charts and work pages for all the Head (servicing) Meridians, if you e-mail me off line, I will forward them to you.

Blessings,

Sylvia
