I just want it out!
October 11, 2009 by Natasha
I had a personal EFT / Matrix Reimprinting session with an excellent practitioner, Ted Wilmont in UK on Thursday. I truly believe that as a Coach and Healing Practitioner, it’s absolutely necessary to consistently work through your own traumas and to have someone guiding you to be the best you can be.
In my session with Ted, I worked on a couple of issues, the first was an incident that had occurred last March on an aeroplane. I was flying back from Dominican Republic with my boyfriend after a much deserved holiday. We’d been on the plane for about an hour when the food came round. I wanted the fish but ended up with beef. Rather than stop what I was doing and concentrate on eating my food, I was more interested in watching the movie and eating without mindfullness (WARNING, EAT MINDFULLY!!).
I obviously hadn’t chewed the meat properly and swallowed it in a chunk, which subsequently got stuck in my throat. I felt that it needed some help to go down, so had some water. Gulp after gulp and nothing moved, the meat was firmly lodged and the water ended up gurgling out of my mouth. At this point I started to panic and tried to get out of my seat but my seatbelt was on, my boyfriend then began to panic and also tried to get out of his seat. Those few moments seemed to last forever.
The air hostesses did their best but neither of them really knew how to do the heimlich manoeuvre to get the meat out. After banging on my back, squeezing my abdominals and fingers down my throat, the meat moved and I could breathe, thankfully. However, I was still in a panic and just wanted to get it out, but no matter what we tried it was still there. This ordeal lasted for the longest hour of my life before it finally went down.
In those first few moments I honestly thought I was going to die. My life flashed before me and all I could think about was the people I would leave behind. Thankfully, it wasn’t my time to go and instead I learned a lot from the experience, one of them being to chew my food properly!
I knew that the incident would affect me on some level but it wasn’t immediately noticeable. That is until this year, whenever I ate quite solid foods, I would feel as though it was getting stuck, regardless of how much I chewed. This started to happen on a more frequent basis, until it got to the point where I was having problems taking my vitamins. I would swallow and my throat would go into panic, which then led to my mind going into panic.
I had previously had an EFT/Matrix Reimprinting session with someone else and I had done some EFT on myself but still it seemed that there was some trauma that needed to be released. I told Ted the story and he led me through a Matrix Reimprinting session.
One of the key things with EFT and Matrix work is listening to the client, what words are they using that are important to help the client to heal. In this instance. Ted heard me say ‘out’ quite a few times. The water came out of my mouth, I couldn’t get out of my seat, my boyfriend couldn’t get out of his seat, the air hostesses couldn’t get it out, I just wanted it out. Time again I was using the word, out, this was a crucial understanding for Ted to know how to help me heal.
An important understanding is that this incident was unexpected, dramatic, isolated and I didn’t know what to do, a perfect trauma recipe.
Ted knew exactly what to do and directed me into the Matrix to help my ECHO who was stuck repeating the same event over and over. As I stepped in, I got my ECHO out of the seat where she was choking, I took her to the front of the plane, performed the heimlich manoeuvre and the meat came out within seconds, she picked it up out of the sink and said ‘thank God it’s out’.
Sitting in my chair speaking to Ted through skype, I felt immediate relief and began to laugh. The trauma was finally healed! Throughout the day I had a lightness that stayed with me along with a smile all I kept thinking was ‘Thank God it’s out’.
On reflection, the meat getting stuck in my throat was exactly what I feeling at the time. I felt stuck in my job and I felt extremely trapped. It’s amazing how our body mirrors what we are going through in our life.
It is amazing how far we have advanced when it comes to healing emotions, traumas, sickness, disease and much more. Matrix Reimprinting really is a cutting edge technique and I’m so thankful to Karl Dawson for creating it and to Gary Craig for sharing his EFT wisdom with the world.
And of course a huge thanks to Ted for finally getting it out!
