| EFT ARTICLES: Easing Birth Issues With EFT |
| "You can use EFT for labor pain, just as you would for any other type of pain. It helps to be specific as to the type of pain, the sensations and the location, but even so-called global tapping is often effective too. A midwife I taught to use EFT says it can really help a woman to dilate more quickly as well, and if you're having contractions, it helps morale tremendously when they are actually helping to bring the birth and baby closer." Eileen Sullivan, EFT-ADV |

Last Thursday I had a beautiful experience with a client and friend at the birth
of her daughter. She was a week overdue but her partner was working very far
away. She asked him to come home and when he arrived she phoned and
asked me if we could do EFT on the next Saturday as she wanted to try
inducing the birth naturally.
As her partner was back I suggested that she start tapping straight away that
"daddy was home, that she was loved and that she could come out now, all was
safe and it was time to come out" ..... "mummy and daddy love you very much
and are all waiting to meet you."
She also tapped to release her attachment to having a Gemini baby.
Immediately she felt the plug go (her words). She phoned me at 6.00am and I
rushed over...she tapped that her "cervix was dilating." By the time I got there
the contractions were every 5 mins.
I tapped for the pain. When the delivery started I tapped "that the pain was a
wave of energy helping to get the baby out and to ride the energy," followed by
"this pain, this energy, this wave of energy." We continued in this fashion and,
as soon as she started to push, her partner took over tapping on her head for
"this pain."
Seconds later a beautiful 7lb 14oz baby girl was in the world. It was the most
calm beautiful experience without any intervention or drugs. I think she was
incredible to do it this way and in her own home. The placenta took a little time
coming and the midwife said that it was a shame that the mother was getting so
distressed trying to latch baby to the breast as this would help the delivery of
the afterbirth.
I looked at the mother and asked if she believed she could breastfeed. She
said no. So we did a round of tapping for "even though I don't believe I can
breastfeed...etc." She again tried, baby latched on and the afterbirth was
delivered. She is now very successfully breast feeding. Both mother and
daughter are doing well. I feel very privileged to have witnessed this wonderful
event. After 2 years of using EFT as my main therapy I am still amazed daily by
what it can do.
