Plane
EFT Surrogate Tapping on a Plane
By EFT
Master, Patricia Carrington
Gary Craig's
Introduction:
Some
newcomers are going to think this is really dopey.
Tapping for
"whatever ails ya' is strange enough but to sit on an airplane
and do it in your mind on behalf of someone else has got to make
the "establishment" wonder if someone isn't wearing their
underwear a little too tightly.
This
whole notion of tapping for someone else (surrogate tapping) and
mental tapping (intentionality) has been featured on my site on
many occasions. There are too many successful reports from
independent sources to wave a nonchalant hand at it or "explain
it away." We are stepping beyond mere coincidence
here.
The
most recent example is given below and is submitted by Dr.
Patricia Carrington who, interestingly enough comes from the
scientific community and is currently the chairperson for
scientific research for ACEP. I love scientists with open
minds. They are the ones who break the ground for new
discoveries.
There
is spiritual evidence here--evidence of Oneness. How else could
we tune into each other this way? This is the direction I think
these new procedures are taking us. The Penthouse in our Healing
High Rise may occupy the same neighborhood as the Pearly
Gates.
__________________________________________
Before the
details fade in my mind, I’ve been wanting for some time to
report an EFT "intentionality" episode which I experienced when I
was flying back from the Toronto Energy Conference last
Fall.
Two seats
away from me there was a young woman I would guess to be in her
early twenties. She was dressed in a corporate manner with an
attaché case at hand and seemed to be trying to come
across as very cool and professional. But as we waited for
takeoff, I noticed she was grasping a book tightly in her hands
-- not reading it, just grasping it, her fingers were very
tense. As the motors began to rev up, her jaw became tightly
set, her body stiffened up remarkably, and her knuckles were
almost white because of the intensity with which she clasped the
book.
Since there
was an empty seat between us I could easily have moved over and
mentioned to her, casually, that there is "a new method that
people, including myself, often use when flying to make the
flight more comfortable at take-off and landing," and then shown
her either an energy chord or an abbreviated tapping procedure --
something I’ve frequently done with other flight passengers
when it seemed appropriate to do and for which they’ve
usually been very grateful.
But something
told me not to do that. I could see that this young
woman’s pride was strongly involved in keeping up a
properly cool, calm and collected appearance. Her distress
seemed deeply embarrassing to her and something she wanted to
hide at all costs.
I decided
instead to do surrogate tapping for her fear. I did this by
going through the entire basic EFT sequence in my mind several
times with no overt movement on my part (something I usually do
with myself -- it often works better for me if I do EFT mentally
than if I do it physically), and I mentally repeated the
affirmation "Even though I’m terrified by this plane
trip......" and used the reminder phrase "Terrified of this plane
trip."
It took about
three rounds of surrogate EFTing before I saw her finally look
down, loosen her tight grip on the book and hold it in a more
normal fashion. I was getting a 6 -7 SUDS rating for her now,
rather than the 10 she had, I felt, started with.

Craig’s Comment: Here, Pat is
intuiting this lady's 0-10 intensity. I demonstrated this
"talent" in our advanced tapes. It is a fascinating ability and
WE ALL HAVE IT. It's just a matter of developing (trusting)
it.
PAT
CONTINUES: I continued mentally tapping for about another three
rounds and then I heard her sigh and open the book. At that
point the plane took off and I saw her fingers tighten again
somewhat, but not nearly as much as before. I continued to do
rounds of surrogate tapping for her, and after three or four
rounds more she settled back into her seat quietly and actually
began to read, even though the seat belt signs were still on and
the plane was still rising steeply. She seemed to me to be about
a 2 or 3 now, so I stopped "tapping" and turned to things of my
own.
Although it
seemed as though she had responded to my surrogate tapping, I
certainly couldn’t prove it. I had to consider the
possibility that maybe this woman’s usual pattern when
flying was to tense up before take-off and relax when the plane
began to rise. My tapping might have been
coincidental.
I
wasn’t aware of her for the rest of the trip until we were
about 15 minutes out of Newark airport when the flight captain
announced that there were gusts of 40 mile an hour winds over the
airport, that we might have to circle until we found a strategic
way to land, and that we could expect some rough weather while
landing.
This
announcement was followed by the rough weather itself -- sudden
drops and uncomfortable bumps -- and we did start to circle the
airport and continued to do so for 20 minutes. I was immediately
concerned about the young "executive" and looked to see if this
somewhat unsettling situation was causing her anxiety to rise
again.
