Do the classic EFT Setup Phrases work well for you? If your answer is “sometimes” or “no” you’ll be happy to know there is a solution. |

Today, we will take a look at the familiar EFT Setup Phrases, “I deeply and completely accept myself,” and “I love and accept myself” with a new perspective. As many of you may know, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was originally taught by Gary Craig. Prior to that, TFT (Thought Field Therapy) was taught by Roger Callahan (from which Gary adapted his own EFT method). During both these trainings, these experts instructed us to tap on an issue in this manner: Before we started tapping on the issue we would first tap on the Karate Chop Spot or rub the Sore Spot on the chest and simultaneously say aloud, “Even though I have this (here we would insert our own issue), I deeply and completely accept myself, or I love and accept myself.” |

While this can be a powerful affirmation for some, unfortunately, it has proven not to be suitable for all people, or all occasions. EFT expert Gene Monterastelli has some inspiring comments on this issue, as you can hear above. Assuredly, many EFT practitioners, and users of EFT Tapping, have encountered difficulty with the default EFT setup phrase, which is precisely what inspired the creation of the EFT Choices Method. |
