My experience with the Healing power of EFT & Meridian Tapping (Dec 2007)

It was the summer of '07, I had spent two straight months in India and was heading back to the US the next day. This was when I had my first ever and really bad bout of Asthma (the symptoms were cough, wheezing, acute pain in the respiratory tract etc.). I returned to the US, and these symptoms kept coming back in various degrees and I was on a daily dose of Advair 500 (which is a fairly strong Asthma medication) for over a month. Even while on the medication, some of the symptoms returned when triggered by exercise (swimming, running).

I was really concerned (a) I was dependent on these strong medications, which included steroids (b) I was unable to swim or run like I used to, this was hard to accept for a person who ran the Seattle half-marathon in 2006. Sometimes, even climbing up a small flight of stairs caused wheezing or cough. The frequent low intensity cough really bothered me and my overall morale was low and I was easily irritable.

I met several doctors, including a Pulmonary specialist and an Allergy specialist. Their diagnosis was that I was probably allergic to pollution and this might have been caused by being exposed to pollution during a viral infection. They also said that I might have to live with this forever.

I had to make another trip to India, and the doctors were all concerned that this would trigger another attack. Meanwhile, I was determined to find alternate solutions to my problem. I read a lot about Yoga and asthma and I contacted Jayashree to see if she was conducting any Yoga classes. I had initially contacted Jayashree 9 months ago, met her at one of her yoga sessions, but never followed up.

Jayashree immediately responded asking me to attend a session on EFT and meridian tapping. So with an open mind, I attended attend an initial session (there were 3 of us) and followed up with a one-on-one private lesson session. Equipped with this, I started a daily routineof EFT, pranayama (kapal bhaati and anulam vilam) and meridian tapping (to stimulate the acupressure points all over the body).

Less than a week later, I was headed to Delhi with the fear of an impending asthma attack and the daily medication. Five days into the trip, while still in Delhi, I decided to just STOP taking the medication. I had the confidence that I could survive without it (even though I carried an emergency inhaler for a few weeks as a backup). I have never had to use an inhaler or any other medication since then.

I continue my daily practice (though there are occasional breaks when I travel or get busy). I continue to exercise frequently and also visit India once every 6-8 weeks on business without any Asthma symptoms.
I continue to be amazed by this incident and would like to express my gratitude to Jayashree for introducing me to these healing techniques.
