EFT Tapping and Snoring

Hi Everyone,

It has been another beautiful spring day and I caught sight of the first butterfly - a beautiful greenish-yellow - not sure if it might have been a Brimstone, leafing through my Butterfly book.

Last Thursday I saw the first bumble bee of the season making its stately progress from Pulmonaria flower to flower and spent some time on Saturday out in the garden doing a little more tidying.

The fish pond received a spring clean over the weekend. We were pleased to find that the fish survived the rigours of winter, and we have also had a number of deposits of frogspawn, which is currently housed in a tank in the utility to ensure the fish don't eat them all. In just 24 hours, some have hatched out, and are now happily munching on powdered up fish flakes.

By next weekend we will hopefully have cleaned out the frogs' pond - alas, many of the frogs did not survive the winter and we have had to remove a number of carcasses from the pond over time. The taddies can then be re-homed in safer waters.

Selene has bounced back very well yet again; probably another of her nine lives accounted for. Her appetite is back, and so is the pain in the knees as we eat.

So, all in all, I generally feel quite happy about life in general.

I'd feel chirpier still if I had managed to get my full ration of sleep last night.

My OH has been a bit snuffly the last few days; we're not sure if he has a cold brewing, or perhaps hay-fever is getting ready to make a come-back. Apart from being disturbed on Thursday night by a totally external source (grumble, grumble) I generally manage to get off to sleep and all's well.

Last night the OH beat me to it, and even his normal breathing sounded very loud, when he wasn't snuffling or outright snoring. The occasional gentle poke to move him on his side worked a little, but then just as I dozed away, there would be a snort and I'd be awake again.

You know how it is. You are tired and want to go to sleep, but there is something going on that stops you relaxing down into a deeper slumber. You hear the clock strike the hours, and the harder you try to get to sleep, the more elusive it becomes.

When 4am struck I suddenly remembered that I could try EFT on the issue. If it didn't work, I always had the option of joining the cats on the sofa downstairs.

Physical tapping can be a bit disruptive to yourself and others if you are using EFT while in bed. So instead I chose to visualise the tapping as I went along.

Even though I desperately want to get to sleep, I feel so very tired but the snoring won't let me, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.

Even though I am feeling so frustrated that the snoring is keeping me awake; it's like being in bed in a pigsty, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself for thinking bad thoughts about my OH.

Even though I would really love to get to sleep, because I feel so tired and worn out after the gardening this weekend, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and allow myself to relax and drift into sleep.

EB:   feeling so tired
SE:   feeling so desperately tired
UE:   snoring driving me mad
UN:   just can't relax
CH:   like I'm in bed with a pig
CB:   that's not the way to think of the OH
UA:   it's all right for him; he's asleep
TH:   so frustrating

EB:   fed up of hearing the clock strike
SE:   just want to go to sleep
UE:   feeling so frustrated
UN:   just want to drift away
........

Next thing I know is that it is 8.30 am. Did the use of EFT stop the snoring? It might have, for all I know. I couldn't really say. What I do know is that it allowed me to let go and drift away into a deep sleep, which is precisely what I wanted. Result!!!
 

Fortunately the OH is not a habitual snorer. He had eaten rather more starchy carbohydrate than he normally does as he follows a low-carb approach to help with his diabetes blood glucose control, but he had been away during the day and had little choice about his meal option at lunchtime. We have noticed that if he does over-indulge, it seems to clog up the nasal passages somewhat noticeably. A snoring night is the usual sequelae.

At least I didn't have to go and disturb the cats and didn't unduly disturb the OH either with tapping.

So if ever you find yourself in a similar situation, it might be worth your while to give EFT tapping a try. Visualising is as effective as actual tapping, and sometimes a lot easier, especially if you are out and about and don't want to draw notice to yourself.

I might even consider a little surrogate tapping on behalf of the OT to ease his snoring; it would be interesting to see how that worked out, as he is always reluctant to tap for himself (not that he minds me doing it for him, don't you know....)

Bright Blessings,

Karen
