Dear Michael and Tricia

Last night was an amazing and a most astonishing experience.

I would like to thank you both, not only for your time and energy but your bravery, Michael, in taking on a ‘challenge’ like me. What I mean by that is, you could have chosen someone else in the group, someone who had experienced a shift. Instead you chose me.

I had come along to the session with the intention of clearing a major block in my life. Not fully understanding what the block was, I have tried a great many techniques. I believed myself to be open to the possibility of finding the ‘key’. Although I admit that a creeping feeling of never doing so was beginning to enter my being.

Last night, until your intervention, was no different from any other time. Other people ‘got it’ and I didn’t. When you suggested I sat with you in front of the others I was worried for you, not expecting anything to be different and being fully prepared to pretend if necessary, although of course that wasn’t what I wanted to have happen. That isn’t what happened – with your tapping and your genuine concern I felt something major dissolve and leave me, I believe for good. It is bringing tears to my eyes fully realising what a release this is.

I walked away from the Church last night, seeing the world differently but more importantly feeling the world different. I felt more flexible in my body and far lighter than I can ever remember feeling. If you recall, towards the end of the session you asked if it had all gone. I hesitated and answered ‘Yes and no’. The feeling had moved to my shoulders and I desperately wanted to clear them. I knew I’d taken a great deal of time though so thought to work on the last bit on my own. However, by the time I left the Church that had also dissolved and resulted in the flexibility I just mentioned. For many years I have been stiff in my neck and back and quite inflexible, occasionally resorting to muscle relaxants for temporary release.

I half expected this ‘new’ feeling to wear off and awoke several times in the night. Instead of the usual anxiety and worry, I felt elated. I searched my mind for something to worry about – something that had slipped my mind, that I had done wrong or I had forgotten - but found nothing. Throwbacks to my father and my childhood – feelings of guilt.

This morning I realise that whatever happened last evening is here to stay and whilst I may have other issues, I now know that I am worthy and am able to shift them. I particularly loved the way you re-used the energy – that was a turning point for me. Recycling is a big thing for me and such a simple concept went deep.

I hope, in these words, I have been able to convey a small part of my thanks to you both and my gratitude for the release and happiness I feel.

With a huge hug to you both.

Hazel
