How I Eliminated the Pain of Hornet Sting in Less Than 5 Minutes

Yesterday, I was in a hurry to get to town for an appointment. As I reached into my country mailbox, I saw a hornet in the back, which is not unusual. The moment I picked up the mail I felt an “electric” shock on the side of my hand. One of those damn hornets must have stung me.

I was running on a deadline to get to town, and needed to drive. I usually use essential oils for insect bites, but I had forgotten to carry my oils with me that day. Though my hand now throbbed with pain, I felt as though I had to keep driving on a twisty, curvy, country road. So, I thought of doing EFT! It wasn’t appropriate to use both hands and tap on my karate chop point because I had to pay attention to the road. I was able to drive with one hand on the steering wheel, and rub on my sore spot on my chest.

My set-up phrases included:
"Even though I got stung by a damn hornet, and it hurts like hell…"
"Even though I hate it that I got stung by a damn hornet…"
"Even though there is a feeling like an electric shock on the side of my hand…"

Then I tapped on my different EFT points, saying my reminder phrase, "damn hornet sting", (sometimes I said damn with emphasis and sometimes I didn't say "damn"). By the time I had tapped on my eyebrow point, and the side of the eye point, I could feel the sting lessening. By the time I completed one round of tapping the pain had become barely noticeable.

Like Gary Craig, founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques, says, try EFT on everything. By the way, when we got to our destination, I couldn’t tell exactly where the hornet had stung me. There was no red spot, no swelling, nothing at all except a fading memory.
