How would you like to transform your symptoms? I learned the Metaphors for Change exercise from business coach Martha Tilyard and modified it into this Symptom As Metaphor technique for physical issues. It can be combined with EFT for Physical Symptoms of Grief from the January 2014 Let Magic Happen newsletter. I will guide you through the metaphorical imagery process in this 8 minute video and share a story about a student of mine with an eating disorder. A 22 minute combination video Using EFT and Imagery can be found in the Let Magic Happen store for $4.99.
Excerpt from the Appendix of Let Magic Happen.
Symptom as Metaphor
The steps are as follows:
1) Choose a chronic symptom you have been working with from a conventional perspective that might benefit from a different approach.
2) List three physical facts about the symptom (location, intensity, duration, etc.), then list three related emotional feelings.
3) Create a metaphor by completing the following sentence with the first phrase that pops into your head, Having this symptom in my body for me is like ... .
4) Consider the implications inherent in using this metaphor to represent your symptom and notice if this gives you any insight into how you have been dealing with it.
5) Think about your goal for healing this symptom. List three physical facts and three related emotional feelings that will be true when you are healed.
6) Create a new metaphor by completing the following sentence with the first phrase that pops into your head, Being healed of this symptom for me is like ... .
7) When you think about having the symptom now, substitute the new metaphor for the old metaphor and give your body a chance to adapt itself to your new perspective.

Fast forward to early July 2024, and we are back on the dubious Moderna mRNA vaccine gravy train which is leaving the station soon with 176 million doses for the bird flu already ordered by the US government. You don’t think they would order it, if they don’t intend to use it? Coincidentally, a study was published in Nature a week later detailing risky gain-of-function research on pathogenicity and transmissibility of cattle-derived H5NI virus. As documented in RFK, Jr.’s The Wuhan Cover Up, vaccine development often goes hand in hand with bioweapons research. Read the rest of the Bird Flu: Won’t Get Fooled Again blog.
