How to treat pain with EFT?

A very simple and interesting way to deal with pain in general is to describe the pain in this way;

What color is it? How big is it? Its texture? Is there an emotion? Does it have a name? Then tap on all the feedback the body gives us…

This visualization (metaphorical) technique worked very well for a Rheumatoid Arthritis patient. We’ll call her Mrs D. She was in constant and terrible pain.

One day, her pain was highly unbearable. She was complaining of severe pain in her shoulders.  She first did one round using:

Even though I have this unbearable pain in my shoulders, I deeply and completely love, forgive and accept myself.

She reported a reduction in her level of intensity from 8 to 7 out of 10.  I then asked her to describe the pain; did it have a color or texture?  She replied that it was dark brown like a sticky liquid and heavy.

So I started tapping on her with the following setup:

Even though I have this dark brown, sticky pain weighing down my shoulders, I choose to drain it away. 

While we tapped, I told her to imagine a tube draining away this pain, while she repeated drain away at each point.  Two rounds reduced her level of intensity to 2 out of 10.

I asked her to describe the pain again.  She said it was now dark and thick.  So while tapping at the KC, we used:

Even though I have this stubborn, dark and sticky pain in my shoulders, I apply heat to it so that it becomes thinner and can drain away easily, followed by I drain away this remaining pain.  The pain subsided!

Some days later, she again called me with severe shoulder pain.  When asked to describe it, she called them "4 huge boulders".  So I used:

Even though these 4 heavy boulders are weighing me down, I choose to break them with a laser gun.  That did not work, so I changed it to:

Even though these 4 boulders are weighing me down, I choose to hammer them to pieces, with "hammer" as the reminder phrase.  Immediately, she felt that the boulders had shattered to pieces and the pain had "rolled away".

She then stood up with some difficulty and said that the pain had dropped to around her hips. When asked to describe it, she said it was like a string of heavy rocks around her hip.  So I used:

Even though I have this money belt of painful rocks around my hip, I deeply and completely love, forgive and accept myself.

There was only a marginal movement in her level of intensity

I felt that she was reluctant to let go of the pain, so I changed the setup to:

Even though this pain is terrible, I don’t want to change.  I am used to it and don’t want to let go. 

After tapping one shortcut round of this, I changed the setup to:

Even though I don’t want to let go of these 10 rocks I have around my hip, perhaps I could let go of just one.

After this round, she said 3 rocks had fallen off.  So I repeated the setup with 7 remaining rocks.  Shortly there was only one left.  So I made the setup I can keep this one rock, as I am so used to it.  However, on completing the round, there were no "rocks" left!

With regular tapping, Mrs. D was gradually able to reduce pain and swelling.
