Pneumonia & Healing

When I had pneumonia 3 years ago, it was a very bad case, that didn't want to go away. I healed finally healed it through the breathing techniques I was taught using chi kung. I wish at the time that I had also known about EFT. Everything you try is a complement to the rest. At different times, different healing techniques will resonate with you, so you always need to listen to the inner voice directing you on the most powerful technique for you, right here, right now.

This winter, I had the opportunity to work with my neighbor who called after she had already had pneumonia for a month and was having difficulty with sleep, fatigue, breathing, headaches, you name it. As in my case, the doctors answer was to add more antibiotics on or for her to be patient.

After I was done giving her a piece of my mind for not calling me sooner, we started in with some basic questions. What happened four weeks ago that changed? What would have made her immune system particularly weak that she was susceptible to the pneumonia? Was she under particular stress? No. was the response. Was she doing anything different than normal the last few months. No again. Was there a problem in her relationship with her husband? her children? no. Was there a financial crisis? Still no. Finally, I said, "you know, that's odd, because I know you eat well. and I know you're a stay at home mom, so work pressure isn't kicking in, and usually there's some addt'l stress factor that just puts people over the top, just before they get sick."

"Oh, maybe it's the fact that I finally told my father that we've severed all ties and I will never speak to him again. That was six weeks ago. But I've worked through that and I'm over it. I'm over him. He doesn't affect me anymore."

"Well, maybe your body didn't finish getting out all the toxins you had built up over the years!"

And so began our EFT session. It went on a long time. Tapping through the painful incidents as a child. tapping through her indepence as a young adult. And numerous times, when she was incapable of speaking or moving, I did the tapping and speaking for her. We cleared a lot that day! So many things she thought she had gotten rid of had simply been buried deep within her body and the release was welcome.

A few weeks later, we tapped again for many new aspects of these same issues, and she's been a new person. Her strength returned. She was able to sleep again. The fatigue was gone. She had her own family back!

I also showed her some ways to remove the frown lines from her forehead, and when they were gone, I realized I had never seen her looking so relaxed! Her husband came by at that point and made the same comment. She had never realized how much tension she was holding in her body. She had been strong enough to take all the stress for so many years. But it finally wore her out until it made her sick.

Now that she's recovered, it's a great pleasure to to wave hello and see her bright smile across the way.
