Sumi uses EFT to help her daughter Meghna with her swim lessons.
I had wonderful success with EFT last week. Meghna was really scared of swimming and though she enjoyed being in the water and playing around, she was terrified of putting her head into the water. As a result, she was not getting far in her swim classes and every time the instructor asked her to push off from the wall and put her head into the water as she does it, she would cry and not do it. So, I put her in private lessons and before her first class, she started crying saying "I do not want to go swimming". I told her lets tap on it but she did not want to do it. So I sat down beside her and said I am going to pretend that I am Meghna and tap on myself. She agreed. And then I did one round loudly saying
"Even though I have this fear of water……
Even though I have fear of putting my head in the water.
Even though I fear that the instructor will not hold me if I am sinking....
I finished one round and she said she is still scared..
I did another round of I am still scared, I want this fear out of me. I am going to let go of this fear from my heart. This fear is keeping me from learning to swim, I am letting go. I did this loudly and clearly, purposefully sounding each word out.
We got into the car and she was silent and as we were nearing the pool, she said, "Amma, I think i got the fear out of my heart "and she says to her little brother Manav, “Akka is going to swim today because Akka does not have fear in me”.
And she has gone for just three classes now and she can swim without anybody holding her, she puts her head in and out of water without hesitation and looks forward to the swim lessons. I am very excited for her and relieved as well!
Thank you very much for the gift of GIFT of EFT that you have taught us.
