Abdominal cramps can be a physical manifestation of fear and the feeling of being stuck in life’s processes.
According to Louise Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life,” the probable emotional cause of abdominal cramps is fear and a sense of stopping the process.
By addressing these root causes and shifting your mindset, you can find relief and healing.
This blog post will guide you through an EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping script specifically designed to help with abdominal cramps.
EFT combines acupressure and affirmations to release emotional and physical tension.
Understanding the Emotional Cause
- Health Issue: Abdominal cramps
- Probable Cause: Fear. Stopping the process of life.
- New Thought Pattern (Affirmation): “I trust the process of life. I am safe.”
EFT Tapping for Abdominal Cramps
Before starting the tapping sequence, rate the intensity of your abdominal cramps on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 being no discomfort and 10 being the most severe discomfort).
This will help you measure your progress.
Step 1: The Setup Statement
While tapping on the Karate Chop Point (the outer edge of your hand below the pinky), repeat the following setup statement three times:
“Even though I feel these abdominal cramps, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Step 2: The Tapping Sequence
Tap 5–7 times on each point while saying the corresponding reminder phrases.
- Eyebrow (EB): “These abdominal cramps.”
- Side of Eye (SE): “This fear in my abdomen.”
- Under Eye (UE): “Feeling unsafe in my body.”
- Under Nose (UN): “Stopping the process of life.”
- Chin (CH): “Holding onto this fear.”
- Collarbone (CB): “Tension in my abdomen.”
- Under Arm (UA): “I feel these cramps.”
- Top of Head (TH): “This discomfort in my body.”
Step 3: Positive Affirmations
After addressing the negative emotions, use positive affirmations to shift your mindset.
Tap on the same points while saying:
- Eyebrow (EB): “I trust the process of life.”
- Side of Eye (SE): “I am safe.”
- Under Eye (UE): “Releasing fear from my body.”
- Under Nose (UN): “Allowing life to flow through me.”
- Chin (CH): “Embracing safety and trust.”
- Collarbone (CB): “My abdomen is relaxed and at ease.”
- Under Arm (UA): “I am letting go of tension.”
- Top of Head (TH): “I am safe, and all is well.”
Step 4: Breathe and Reassess
After completing the tapping sequence:
- Take a deep breath in and exhale slowly.
- Rate the intensity of your abdominal cramps again on a scale of 0 to 10.
- If the discomfort persists, repeat the tapping sequence until you feel a noticeable reduction in the intensity.
