I recently had an interesting experience, which I would like to share with everyone.
Approximately one week ago I met with a cousin of mine whom I had not seen in a few years. She arrived bearing a gift, which unbeknownst to me was about to cause me some emotional upheaval. It was an autobiography published by my father. My father and I have been estranged for many years and I was totally unaware that he had published a book. I was surprised and speechless to say the least.
Curious however about the content I started reading the book. Two days later I developed the most terrible toothache in the back tooth on the upper right hand side of my jaw. Within a short period of time it rated at 10 on the 0-10 intensity scale. Drawing on the knowledge I have accumulated over the years of practicing various healing modalities, I immediately knew that this toothache was directly related to unresolved issues with regard to my father.
Although I always believed there where no unresolved issues, I was sooo….. wrong.
I started tapping, using phrases such as:
Even though…
My father left when I was very young, I love and accept myself
My father was the cause of many tears I cried, I love and forgive him anyway
I believed my father did not love me; I love him and forgive him anyway
I was envious of the new family my father had, I love and forgive myself
Then I used a few “Choices” phrases such as,
I choose…
To love and accept my father despite what happened
To forgive myself for feeling envious
To forgive myself for feeling angry towards him
To accept him for who he is
I tapped on the above statements for one hour, during which time instead of the pain easing up, the toothache got progressively worse and worse. I remember thinking that this is not how it should be; the pain should be easing up instead it was getting worse.
Eventually feeling quite despondent with this pain I stopped tapping, had glass of water and went to sleep. I managed to fall asleep fairly quickly, however I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. (When our bodies develop a fever, we are releasing anger on an emotional level). I got up to have some water and noticed that the toothache had subsided altogether.
A few days have passed since and the toothache has not made a re-appearance.
It is interesting to note how we all release our issues in different ways. I usually find with clients that the effects are immediate, especially with pain relief, in my instance however the pain became worse and the anger was released through a fever during the night.
