Hector is a beautiful young boy with leukemia who then had a rare bacterial
infection that destroyed the skin and the soft tissues of his nose. He’s had
disaster upon disaster occur to him. He is incredibly shy and extremely
embarrassed by the bandage he always has on his nose.
I’ve tried so many times to reach this young man in the over a year that I’ve
known him. Yet he has always remained shy and distant. I would use the idea
of “Magic Fingers” and even one of the TappyBears in the hospital to teach
him EFT, but he would mostly watch and not participate. I didn’t know what
to do to reach him. One day I did the raffle I do to select which of the kids
with cancer will receive a TappyBear. Hector won. I gave him his Tappy not
knowing if he would use it but I showed him how anyway and sent him home
with it.
I didn’t see him for a couple of months, but something marvelous happened.
Upon seeing me, he gave me a big smile. He nodded a vigorous yes when
I asked if he likes his Tappy. He sleeps with him and won’t even share him
with his little sister because Tappy is his. He told me that he likes to
tap to tell his body to get better. He looks so cheerful that I almost
wondered if it was the same child.
When I asked him if he’d like to tap with me, his face lit up and he said
yes. I started tapping and he repeated out loud everything I said, which
is something he has never done before. There was trust in his eyes,
an openness and excitement to tap with me.
I am amazed and so pleased that receiving a TappyBear allowed him
to open to EFT and let his beautiful light shine. It is definitely worth
sharing a Tappy with a child even if you don’t know if they will use it.
You might get one of the nicest surprises of your life.
In case this inspires you to give a Tappy to a lovely child you know or
donate one to me to give to the kids with cancer, contact me.
You never know what magic might happen.
