How to Help a Child in Distress with Surrogate EFT

Have you ever seen or heard a child in distress and wanted to help, but been in a situation where you felt you couldn’t?
If it’s your own child, you’ve probably already taught her about EFT, she uses it herself and isn’t surprised if you reach over and start tapping on her head.
But what if it’s someone you don’t know?
This kind of situation arose when I visited Todaiji last week. A mother and her child were bitten by deer overly zealous for deer cookies. The mother, still holding the deer cookies above her head, was busy fending off 5 or 6 deer and couldn’t immediately attend to her hysterical young daughter a few meters away.
Perfect situation for Surrogate Tapping. This video explains how to do it:
As you get more practiced with the surrogate healing using EFT, you don’t even need to physically tap on your body, often just directing the energy as if you were tapping is enough.
You’ll know when the person you have done the surrogate tapping for has made a shift, because there will be an obvious change – a change in expression, a change in voice – and often it happens rapidly. Hysteria one moment to glee the next.
In the case of the little girl bitten by the deer, when she shifted she went from tearful, frightened bawling to a cheery smile saying, “Hey! Look at that cute fawn over there.” in the blink of an eye.
Thank you for sharing your healing gifts with the world through Surrogate Tapping!
In love and gratitude,
