Rapid Health Procedures can help address some of the deeper causes of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (otherwise known as M.E, or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) and many other fatigue illnesses. Our mind is just like a computer, its primary function is survival, however all too frequently its misguided attempts to protect us can cause more problems for us.

CFS and ME have a lot of fear – fear of getting worse, fear of not recovering, fear of relapsing, fear of doing too much (physically and mentally), fear of doing something that caused them to relapse in the past – which of course uses up a lot of energy. RAP Procedures and EFT are excellent at clearing and releasing the fear experienced around everyday activities – which of course releases energy.

It is so easy to re-traumatize ourselves by past experiences. Some, but not all, have fear around what being well or recovered would involve – responsibilities, possible blame if things go wrong, not being able to say no to others, are few of the things that need to be addressed.

As an example, imagine having a fear of not being able to get up or go downstairs, which is a very real fear for M.E. and Chronic Fatigue sufferers. Below is just an example of how you might approach EFT if you have this fear. Rate your anxiety or fear intensity out of 10, with 10 being high and 0 being low.

Start by tapping the Karate Chop point approx 8 times, quite firmly: Even though I’m scared to get up to go downstairs…I choose to completely and deeply love, forgive and accept myself. Consider this fear whilst tapping through the remaining points in the diagram and then re-rate the intensity, with 10 being very fearful and 0 being fine.

Whilst tapping the karate chop point again, use the following statements:

Even though I’m scared it’ll make me worse…I allow myself to completely accept myself with this problem (then tap through the body points in the diagram whilst considering the next issue).

Do the same as above for the remaining phrases, just tap on the karate chop point, then tap through the remaining points whilst saying: Even though I don’t want to go downstairs…I accept myself completely

Even though I have this sick feeling in my stomach when I think about going downstairs…I forgive myself

Even though I have this tense anxiety in my chest as I approach the first stair…I can choose to accept myself with this problem

Change the above words to suit your specific fear and feelings. Tap on all the physical sensations until you are down to zero out of 10, and you can imagine going downstairs, or to the telephone or clinic, or to make yourself a cup of tea, without any negative emotion.

The next fear you might wish to address is what might be expected from you if you get help.

Even though I’d be expected to go straight back to college or work once I’m downstairs, I completely and deeply accept myself…

Even though getting up and going downstairs would be ‘proof’ that I’m well… I completely and deeply forgive myself with this fear

Even though I have this overwhelming fear of relapse and making myself worst, I completely and deeply trust that I will only take considered baby steps forward now… this is my promise to myself from now on.

Even though I don’t trust myself to not over-do it again, I allow myself to realize that this very fear could be preventing my healing…

Even though my husband will see me as being recovered, and I’d have to go back to college or work…I completely and deeply love, forgive and accept myself with this problem

Even though my stomach is gurgling at the thought of just going downstairs…

Even though my stomach is digesting this, I’m open to the possibility that going downstairs is a possibility…

Another common fear is not wanting to let people down. You may prefer not do anything at all, rather than attempt it, not be able to complete it, and then have to let someone down.

M.E./CFS are complex conditions. Full recovery is possible with perseverance. Rapid Health Procedures have excellent results clearing and releasing the fears CFS/M.E. sufferers experience around everyday activities.
