		<description><![CDATA[A Doctor's diagnosis can cause severe stress and trauma. So many emotions come up but the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) offers a way to not only handle the stress of the Doctor's diagnosis but achieve peaceful healing and treatment.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Australian&#8217;s indigenous people have stories that their medicine men, their Witch Doctor, could kill you just by pointing a bone and delivering a curse. Other cultures have the myths of someone casting an evil eye.</p>
<p>Regardless of whether real magic was involved, if the person at which the bone was pointed believed strongly enough that they would die then they did so.</p>
<p>A belief is something we have a feeling of certainty about. A well-meaning Doctor will give you their best diagnosis (their best opinion) and because of our beliefs in them we take this as an unquestionable truth.</p>
<p>There are many studies that show that when a Doctor&#8217;s pronounces that a patient has a certain amount of time to live, most people will die within that timeframe &#8211; very similar to a witch doctor point the bone at some one. Only a very few people have a strong enough internal belief to prove the Doctor wrong.</p>
<p>This tapping sequence aims to reduce the certainty with which we take on a Doctor&#8217;s diagnosis. It does not create denial! If anything, it will help you move past denial more quickly to be clear about your own responsibilities in the healing process.</p>
<p>Using this <a href="/eft-tapping-points/" title="EFT Tapping Points Guide" class="liinternal">EFT tapping points guide</a>, start and continue tapping as follows:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Karate Chop<br />Point:</td>
<td><em>Even though I have just received this news and all my feelings are in turmoil, I completely and deeply accept the way I feel.<br />
Even though I trust the Doctor, I choose to remember that he is only giving me his opinion and I still believe in myself.<br />
Even though I&#8217;m terrified that what the Doctor said is true, I choose to take responsibility for my health and my life.<br />
Even though the treatments for this disease are brutal and painful, I choose to stay open to all forms of healing, taking responsibility for educating myself as to the best course of action.<br />
Even though the Doctor is certain about his diagnosis, I choose to have faith in myself and my body&#8217;s ability to heal.<br />
Even if I&#8217;m not sure how much time I have left, none of us really do, I choose to express gratitude for each and every moment I get to experience until then.<br /></em></td>
