Case Study #1010 -RELUCTANT
NON-SMOKER
The mother of my client came
with her daughter for our first EFT session. Daisy (not her real
name) wanted me to tell her how EFT worked. I told her that I could
demonstrate to her how the technique worked and was there some issue
she wanted to work on. Daisy said that she had been thinking of
giving up smoking. So I said let’s try it on that.
I got her to take out one cigarette and
I asked her to look at it while I tapped on her points. Then I asked Daisy to
smell the cigarette while I continued to tap on her points. Finally I asked her
to put the cigarette between her lips and taste it and suck on it so the urge to
light it would be very high, while I continued tapping on her points and getting
her to repeat the following statements:
That cigarette looks really inviting and
I want to smoke it
That cigarette smells really good and I
want to light it
That cigarette tastes sooo good and I
want to smoke it
I can see, smell and taste that
cigarette and I want to smoke it….
Even though cigarettes make my breath
smell…
Even though smoking makes my clothes
smell…
Even though smoking is ruining my
lungs….
Even though smoking is ruining my
health…
This was a 10-minute demo and Daisy said
that she didn’t feel like having that cigarette just then but would have a smoke
later. As it turned out, ‘later’ was not going to come.
Daisy called and left an ‘urgent’
message on my phone the following day. When I called her back she was said that
she had mixed feelings because it had been over 24 hours and she had no urge to
have a smoke and that she had NOT BEEN READY TO GIVE UP SMOKING JUST YET!
Eight weeks later, Daisy is still a
non-smoker (not as reluctant now). Daisy had been a heavy smoker for several
years.
What has truly amazed me is that these
results were achieved with only a short demo. Wonder what could be achieved if
one got serious about loosing emotional problems?
