Who Would You Be Without Your Wounds?


In my experience I have witnessed two main desires within the human heart and everything flows from these two desires: To Know and Be Known...To Love and Be Loved...not too surprising eh? After all, I am created in the image and likeness of God and He desires the same two things!

As I have traveled through this life, I have given the power away to others along my journey to define who I am. Am I lovable? Am I worth knowing? As I have collected information about myself (from events and people), I have come to realize that most of it is based on other people's interpretations of "me" rather than on the truth of who I am. Yes, I desire to know and love in this life and I also have come to understand that in order for me to do this authentically I must begin within myself. I have the power within to heal...as Jesus so poignantly said, If I have faith the size of a mustard seed I can move any mountain that stands before me!

In God, I live and move and have my being... as a fish swims in water, so I swim in His presence, within and without. Because God is the Great Healer, and I am created in His image, I am capable of healing. Simply put, EFT unleashes my ability to heal by clearing away past doubt, pain and negative memories that have blocked my awareness of who I truly am... in and with God: beautifully and wonderfully created!

EFT has removed the negative charges that many distressing memories have caused within my energy system. Therefore, I have been able to collapse negative emotions and physical pain instantly. This has led me to a beautiful place of emotional freedom and confidence in abundant living.

Because I am deeply and profoundly loving and accepting myself EVEN THOUGH I have experienced pain, loss, hardship, fear, addiction or abuse in life I am free to offer that to the world. "Love your neighbor as yourself" Luke 10:27. I can only give out what I have within to give.

All things that last beyond my breath and heartbeat flow from love...'If I have not love... I am nothing.' Yes! This is true...AND...if I have LOVE I am everything and I have everything I need for abundant life and emotional freedom.

EFT and LOVE

In my short experience with love in life I have found that I speak and desire love verbally and physically. I also give out in my relationships what I want to get. Here’s the problem…when my partner doesn’t feel loved by the language of love I am giving and does not know how to speak the language I desire.

If I am giving out and desiring physical touch to someone whose main love language is acts of service, I will create a huge energy shortage when it comes to our heart connection. Until I learn how to speak my partner’s main love language instead of giving out what I want to get, I will continue to experience tension and disconnect in my relationship.

So where does EFT come in? EFT gives me the opportunity to collapse any negative charges I might have around my own experiences with love. By doing this I free up my body’s energy system, enabling it to be open to new expressions of love. EFT unleashes creative ways to give and receive love, taking my partner’s love language into consideration. Because I reduce the negativity from my own energy system I bring out my natural propensity to see the beauty in others. EFT collapses any judgments and conditional criteria I have gained and used throughout my lifetime that supports my interpretation of love.

Key Point: IT’S MY INTERPRETATION OF LOVE. Even though my partner does not give and receive love the way I do, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway. I choose to be open to experiencing new expressions of love. I choose to come up with creative ways to communicate my needs with love.

By collapsing the negative charges around distressing memories, that prevent me from loving and accepting myself, I open my heart up to the experience of unconditional love. Love evokes love, acceptance evokes acceptance. Yes, I give what I want and what I have within to give. Because EFT unleashes abundant self-love and acceptance while collapsing the judgments I have gathered about love and acceptance, I enter into a whole new dimension: Emotional Freedom in love for the sake of love alone.

Self-Esteem: Belief in Oneself

Did you know that no two heartbeats are the same? It’s true. Heartbeats are as unique as fingerprints. In fact our heartbeat can be viewed as our energy signature. Energy flows uniquely through each human being. We all give off different energy vibrations. Some positive and some negative…either way our energy is profoundly unique. Self-esteem emerges from the awareness of one’s own uniqueness.

Last month I spoke about the writing on our walls. This writing can come from parents, peers, friends, coaches, teachers, lovers just about any human being that we give our pen to as well as the authority to define our beliefs about ourselves and our life experiences. If I asked you to come up on stage and sing a little song for the crowd, you would first consult the writing on your wall…it may say: “Go for it you were told you were an awesome singer when you sang in the High School choir”…OR it may say…”FAT CHANCE, no way I’m getting up there and making a fool out of myself like I did when I sang at church and my mom said I couldn’t sing.” We are constantly consulting the writing on our walls as we interact with our world. We will be a lot more understanding and open-minded in relationships when we realize that most of our communication with one another comes from the writing on our walls.

When the writing on your walls says, “I’m not good enough”, everything in your life will be interpreted from this point of view. You will attract to yourself events and people that will back this “I’m not good enough” belief up until you erase it. So how do you erase it? Good question. Imagine a table and across the top is written a belief statement about yourself: I can’t sing. The legs of the table represent specific events in your life that back that belief up: My mom said that I can’t sing. In order to collapse that belief you must cut down the legs, then the table will fall. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) does this effectively and most times instantly. By emotionally tuning into the specific event, while tapping on specific acupuncture points, the body collapses the “block” that was put in place when you accepted the statement, “I can’t sing” as truth.

Many times you only have to tune into one or two “legs” that support your tabletop belief and the whole table crashes down. After using EFT, clients often experience a profound sense of self-worth and peace. As you collapse the different tabletops in your life, a deep awareness of your uniqueness begins to emerge within. Belief in yourself begins to replace past negativity…once you start “tapping” into this, there is no going back…it’s all about loving and accepting yourself into emotional freedom.

By Lauren Miller, EFT-ADV

At 38 years old, with three young children while going through a divorce, I was diagnosed with stage three, grade three, Invasive Ductile Carcinoma. I was told that I had a 50% chance of survival. I found myself rolling around on my floor crying out to God while I beat my fists on the floor in shock, refusing to believe that I had cancer. Even though I was a personal life coach and second degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, I could not fight or coach my way out of this diagnoses.
I was told by the men in the white coats (doctors) that I had a 50% chance of survival. So, in less than a two year period, I have endured 16 chemotherapies (including the “Red Devil”), a double mastectomy, 6 weeks of daily radiation, one year of Herceptin infusions, monthly shots in my stomach (to stop my estrogen production) along with a daily estrogen inhibitor. Even after ALL of this treatment I am told by the doctors that I am in the THIRD highest group for a recurrence ... out of four groups.
I started EFT just after my first two rounds of “AC” Chemo, otherwise known as the “Red Devil”. Why? Because it’s bright red and it hits you like the devil. I suffered from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and whenever I saw red I got sick to my stomach … along with an abundance of anxiety. I tried acupuncture, counseling and cognitive- behavioral therapy to no avail. I was then hooked up with an EFT therapist and after one phone session I was cleared of all symptoms. I started my own EFT training that same week and my whole life turned around … physically and emotionally. There are more concrete examples of this “turn around” listed below.
So the question hits me daily: Although those "white coats" tell me that I am in the third highest group for recurrence ... what do I say now?
I say that I never "had" cancer ... cancer never "had" me. The cancer simply woke me up and helped me remember who I am ... Not how others have defined me but who I say I am. By reclaiming my identity, using EFT as my portal ... erasing my internal wall that contained numerous false statements given to me by other people and circumstances in my life that I allowed to define me ... I began to "tap" myself back to myself.
Here's the bottom line - I forgot who I was and therefore I farmed out the power to define "me" to the world around me. EFT is the tool that I used (and continue to use daily) to collapse all of the trapped negative energy around my distressing memories and experiences that I was storing in my body. It was as if my body was saying, "Hey woman, if you don't come back and reclaim, honor, love and accept DEEPLY all that you are and always have been underneath all of this unresolved dis-ease, we are OUT OF HERE".
So I thank my body daily for waking me out of my slumber ... the slumber of self denial. Jesus said so eloquently, "love your neighbor ... as yourself". EFT hits on that truth every time I do the set up statement: "EVEN THOUGH I (state my challenge), I DEEPLY AND COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT ALL OF ME." So I have stumped my "white coats" again and again and again and again using EFT.
1. Even though I lost all of my hair, I deeply and profoundly love and accept all of me ... including my bald head!
Reminder phrases: bald, my baldness, NO HAIR, COMPLETELY BALD, not even a SHADOW, am I a man or woman? Casper the Ghost, Star Wars, Alien? It is crucial that I give myself permission to be right where I am at.
I always follow each round with a positive choice round:
I choose to come up with creative ways to celebrate my baldness!
I choose to feel beautiful!
I choose to experience an abundance of freedom in my baldness!
I choose to attract beauty into my life today!
I choose to see myself from my soul out with all of its beauty, courage, strength, fortitude and love!
The Outcome: after losing all of my hair after the first two rounds of chemo (not doing any EFT), it started to grow back after the fourth round and after the 16th round I walked into my first radiation treatment and my Doctor asked if I was wearing a wig ... NO it was all mine!!!!! She said in all of her practice, she has never witnessed hair growth with the kind of chemo that I received! Give it up for EFT!!!!
2. Even though these "white coats" have told me that I can have up to 50 different side effects from this medication (or treatment), I choose to love all of me and to accept all of the positive energy and benefits from this substance!
Reminder phrases: I specifically name the medication or treatment I was taking. Example: Aromasin, Aromasin, Aromasin ... for a full round. Then I would do a round on my positive choice:
I choose to surprise myself with an over abundance of mental calm and focus.
I choose to embrace the positive benefits of Aromasin and give my body permission to let go of everything else. I would get very specific with some of the side effects.
The outcome: I have gone through 10 surgeries, 16 chemos, 6 weeks of radiation, 1 year of herceptin, tomoxifin, aromasin. Other than my initial hair loss, some scarring and darker skin tone (which looks excellent in light of how burned my skin was due to the radiation/herceptin combination). I am completely symptom free and have been throughout all of my treatments. If I thought I felt a symptom, I was all over it with EFT. I can honestly say I feel stronger and healthier than ever before in my life. My energy level continues to amaze me daily.
3. Even though I have lost all sensation on my chest because of the double-mastectomy, I DEEPLY and COMPLETELY accept all of me and my feelings around this … AND I CHOOSE to restore and reconnect ALL of my nerves in my chest area. I give my body permission to do what it needs to do to RESTORE my sense of feeling throughout my entire chest area!
Reminder phrases: Nerve damage, nerve damage, disrupted nerves, confused chest wall nerves, traumatized chest nerves, nerve disconnect, stressed numb nerves, nerve damage.
I follow up with a choices round and often another round of alternating between my nerve damage and then my choice.
Even though my nerves were damaged in the surgery I CHOOSE to unleash complete nerve restoration throughout my entire chest wall.
Even though I can’t feel my chest I give my body permission to reconnect and restore every nerve in my chest area, I choose complete restoration of my Milan sheaths and all parts of my nerves in my chest area.
The Outcome: I have about 80% of all feeling in my chest area restored … and I am still going for 100%
4. Even though I am breast-less, I DEEPLY AND COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF ANYWAY AND I CHOOSE to see myself as a Beautiful warrior that has emerged from battle and I have WON!
Even though I have these scars all over my chest, I choose to see them as physical examples of my spiritual truth: I am a victorious beautiful, courageous, strong woman who shines brighter than ever!
Even though I stand before this mirror bald and breast-less, I accept every feeling and emotion around this experience with abundant love, respect and acceptance of all of me. I choose to look into my eyes and define myself by the radiant beauty that flows from my heart even more abundantly now than ever before in my life. Round: Bald and Breast-less, the mirror's definition of me, bald, breast-less, androgynous, stripped of my femininity, Bald, breast-less, Yoda, ET.
I follow with a round of my choices: I choose to feel beautiful, I choose to feel courageous, I choose to forgive myself and anyone else that has contributed to my baldness and breastlessness, I choose to celebrate and honor my soul's beauty, I choose to have an abundance of creativity as I come up with different ways to see myself as beautiful, I choose to respect and honor my body, I choose to vibrate with the frequency of gratitude and love and I choose to send this to my beautiful body ... every cell, I choose complete restoration and abundant health all the way down to my DNA!
The Outcome: I recognize, love, accept and honor my beauty ... the essence of my true inner beauty now more than EVER in my entire life. I celebrate "me" and my courageous "earth suit" (that so beautifully contains my soul) every moment I am blessed with breath. Yes my hair has grown back and I have some as-semblance of "breasts" that have been reconstructed yet my identity is not attached to them anymore. I have a profound sense of well-being and self-esteem.
5. Even though those "white coats" have told me that I am in the third highest group for recurrence I DEEPLY and COMPLETELY love and accept all that I am. I choose right now to validate and honor my body's ability to unleash and restore abundant health and restoration to every cell in my body.
Reminder phrases: Third highest group, third highest group, recurrence, recurrence, fear around recurrence, fear, fear, fear, recurrence fear.
I choose to give my body permission to heal every cell in my body.
I choose to feel an abundance of confidence and self-esteem.
I choose complete health and restoration of my body,
I choose to experience more strength and health within my being than ever before in my life!
I choose to accept and celebrate everything that promotes the health and restoration of my body!
Outcome: Not a sign or hint of any recurrence. I feel more focused, energized and stronger than ever in my life.
EFT has truly led me into the emotional experience of accepting and loving all of me … not to mention all of the physical healings … For this I am eternally grateful. As long as I walk this earth, I am committed to being a channel of this gift to as many souls as possible.
