ET during acute injuries

Hi folks,

I realize I'm just starting to learn this stuff, so I don't have any
established patterns to draw on in emergency situations.. Today I
pulled something in my back and was in excruciating pain for about an
hour before it subsided. The pain was so diffuse that I couldn't even
tell where to focus my attention. It radiated all over my back and
front.

So during this time I'm thinking of how to focus my energy, and
because it was such an acute stress I didn't expect much, but still I
just kept putting the intention there to let the energy move how it
wanted to. That was about all I could think of to do, so I trusted
it.

That helped me to not tighten up against the pain but let it soften,
and I kept shifting positions because the pain kept changing, so I
was just sort of following it around. Probably the Ibuprofen and
Arnica helped the pain more directly, but I bet that focus helped me
deal with the pain in some other ways.

I'm not sure if that would be considered ET, but that's all I could
do. Any comments on that? How do others handle acute pain situations
using ET or EFT? (at that point, there was no place on my body I
wanted to actually tap, and I didn't have the concentration to tap
mentally).

So far I'm reading about ET in terms of "where do you feel that in
your body".. but for sensation/pain that's already quite
physiologial, do you work with it in a similar way?

Thanks,
Karen
