Jesus came limping up the stairs to enter the children’s cancer area. I was surprised to see him struggling so much to walk since I hadn’t seen him in a few months. He was very happy to see me and do some tapping together. Tapping has been a great help to him so we decided to see what would we could do for the pain he was feeling in his leg.
We tapped on the physical pain that he was told comes from the latest medications that he is taking. When I asked how much pain, he said a 9.
Even tho I have this pain caused by a medication that is being used to help me get better, I love myself.
Even tho I believe this is a bad medication because it is causing me pain and I don’t want to feel pain, I’m a wonderful young man.
Even tho this medication is causing me pain, I don’t have to suffer to get better, I’m a great young man.
I feel so much pain. It hurts to walk. It hurts. I can hardly walk cuz of the pain.
I talk to this medication and tell it to stop harming me. I don’t have to suffer to heal. I don’t have to have medications harm me. I tell my body that it doesn’t have to have pain just cuz the doctor’s say this medication can cause pain. I choose to let my body be ok no matter what. I ask my body to release any pain caused by the medication.
The pain dropped to a 4. I asked if what he felt was still all pain. He said no, more that it bothers him. I asked, “What is bothering you? Are you afraid that when they check your test results that you may have another tumor?” He said yes especially because if these results come out well then he will go into “observation” instead of regular treatments. He’ll be essentially done with his chemotherapy. He said his Mom wouldn’t have to worry if he were better.
Even tho I’m afraid that my results won’t come out well, I’m a great young man.
Even tho I’m afraid that I might not be ok and have to have more chemotherapy, I love myself.
Even tho I feel bothered by all of this, I don’t have to be. I am ok.
I don’t want my mom to worry. I want her to be happy. I’m ok. I’m fine. I know it, but I doubted it. I was afraid I might have another tumor, but I don’t want to think that and program it into my mind. I release that fear. The fear doesn’t help me. I choose to think differently. I know deep down I’m fine.
I am healthy. I can be healthy. No I can’t. (He said he can and he doesn’t doubt it now). I can. I don’t doubt that I’m healthy. I know I am. I choose to stay healthy until I’m an old man.
The rest of the pain dropped away. His eyes were shining. He could stand completely on his right foot, which he couldn’t do earlier. He looked so relieved.
We found that his underlying emotional reason for feeling the pain was his fear that he would get another tumor and not be done with his 2 years of treatment.
He will continue to tap on being well and staying well until he is an old man. What a gift to receive!
