We were away for the weekend in the bush in the Waterberg.
As we arrived my husband’s 80 year old aunt went to the bathroom. She had no sooner pulled down her knickers when she noticed a movement in the bath. Stopping in mid flow to see what it was she could only squeak “snake” in a silent and yet terrifying mutter.
She managed to pull her pants back up to come running into the kitchen white faced to tell us there was a ‘Peeping Tom’ Rinkhals in her bath.
My husband and his brother managed to coax the snake into a cooler box utilizing handy braai tongs and a broom (silly, silly pathetically manly hero’s) to release him back to safety in the bush away from the scared neurotic humans.
Not long after that we went on a sundowner’s game drive. A beautiful 3 meter Black Mamba was innocently enjoying the late afternoon sun when the “Vaalies” drove past in their noisy 4 x 4 complete with Granny , Grandpa, 4 adults, 2 teenage ‘oh so precious’ girls and 2 “Dennis the Mennis” boys.
The Mamba in his haste to get away from this intrusion, flared up and pirouetted away from the vehicle to sidle away as quickly as he could.
It got me thinking as to why we have irrational fears and phobias. Where do these fears first start and how easy it is to overcome these phobias using EFT.
I had just the previous week worked with someone who had an irrational fear of spiders.
I had this email from her “The rain spiders came to visit again last night, and I feel more at ease with them”. That was in just one quick 10 minute session! As an experiment you might want to try the following:
Think of a fear you have and then with your fingers tap about 5 times on the following points:
· Under your eye on the bone.
· Under your collar bone, in the gap between the first and second rib.
· Under your arm, in line with your nipple or bra strap.
I would love to hear your phobia stories and if this advise has helped in any way. Please email me at Lana@coachingph.com
You might need to do some more in depth tapping with an EFT therapist to flesh out where the fear originated and to release it. It could take more than one session to sort it out fully.
Let’s begin the journey…
