It was five minutes to six and I was packing up to go home to dinner when a good client rang to say that a friend of hers was at her home and in excruciating pain and could I help. I suggested that maybe the hospital might be the best place for her friend, but she said her friend wanted to see me, not a hospital. I relented saying that my dinner could wait a while, and I would see her if she could be at the clinic in ten minutes ( I knew she lived close by) .
Five minutes later my client arrived with an arm around her friend, who was whimpering with the pain, and helped her into the clinic. The friend wasn’t able to tell me much about her pain, so we got her onto the massage table so I could check her out. That’s when discovered the pain was so widespread that the only place I could touch without hurting her was her hand.
The hand and wrist have many acupuncture points, so I confined myself to tapping on those while directing her attention to the pain. After only five minutes of this tapping, she sat up and stated that all the pain had stopped and could she go home.
I did inform her that we had only scratched the surface of the problem and that some extra work should be done to make the results permanent. But she just wanted to go and that was that.
I have heard of five minute miracles in EFT but that was the first one I have ever seen.
