Sometimes EFT works so quickly that we like to refer to this type of healing as a one minute wonder.
A favorite one minute wonder story involved a 35 year smoker who tapped on his forehead in between the eyebrows (not an official meridain location but close to one) and collapsed his addiction BEFORE he came in for his prescheduled appointment with Valerie Whiteley. He sat in front of his television tapping on the space between his eyebrows and saying "smoking" repeatedly as he watched television. This story can be found at www.emofree.com on the addictions page as the first entry.Another one minute wonder tapping success story was with a client who struggled with a serious chewing tobacco addiction. I taught my client the basics of the EFT tapping protocol and he felt emotionally stronger and embraced the EFT method. He tapped over 50 rounds during his first week after our session. I had suggested that he tap while sitting in his car before and after work, which he did faithfully. His habit of 5 tins per week collapsed to nothing before his second session. This is also an example of persistance and of giving the treatment a fair chance to do its miracles. He was a very happy fellow and so was his wife.
Another aspect of the one minute wonder concept is EFT's ability to bring clarity to the mind about what is really bothering you. At the beginning of an EFT session, a person often has a strong opinion about what is causing their discomfort. Yet, after a few rounds of tapping on the meridian points on the face and hands, a spontaneous recall of an incident comes into the mind that sheds new light on the real problem, which may be a totally different issue.
For instance, a person may start out thinking that they are unhappy with something a spouse does. After a few rounds of EFT tapping, they rapidly realize that a childhood experience with their mother is the real culprit. The spouse might do something that stimulates emotional feelings from the past of being controlled by an overbearing parent. When this "ah-ha", shows up, the person is transformed and can rapidly see things from a very different perspective. The power of this experience is in the feeling, and in the sense of great relief.
It is a glorious moment when the decision to take personal responsibilty for one's own happiness becomes the goal. The old habit of waiting for someone to provide happiness, rapidly falls away as EFT frees the mind from the trance of believing that anyone else can provide happiness for another.
