Is This The Only EFT Tapping Phrase You’ll Ever Need

According to the default Emotional Freedom Techniques Manual (here). The default tapping set-up phrase should be:
Even though I have this _____________,I deeply and completely accept myself.
As I’ve already mentioned, here. I prefer:
Even though I have this “emotion, limiting decision etc”,I deeply and completely, love, forgive and accept myself.
Credit, for this has to go to Brad Yates, he was the 1st EFTer I was introduced to. I wrote more about it here.
Since those early days, I’ve listened to and read much about EFT and more importantly I’ve applied it to my own life. I firmly believe that to be successful in applying EFT to your own life and those of others that you introduce it to. You must use it. Certainly in the beginning, you must also use it often too. Check out all the videos for examples, here.
Perhaps my biggest learning I pass on to others is: you can’t do EFT ‘wrong’. In my own opinion, the only way you can do it wrong is not by doing it. I think it is that simple. The other big piece of advice I pass onto others is. Do EFT tapping on anything and everything else that you can find.
Yes, even those things that you don’t think are related to your initial issue, challenge, want etc.
So, I’ve been playing and thinking with the set-up phrase recently. I’ve come to the following conclusion: You could use 1 phrase and one phrase if all else fails.
What is it?
Even though I believe _____________________. I choose to let this belief go as it no longer serves me.
Yes, others may be more effective and quite often are. But, When using EFT to over come your negative emotions, limiting decisions (yes, you can use it for good too!). Are these things not all socially conditioned beliefs?
Who tells you that you’re feeling angry? When did you decide that the X specific mixture of emotions and thoughts etc. = Anger? Did you magically think, mmm. this X is anger? No, you were told what you were thinking and feeling. Your parents, school, media etc. told you what to think and feel based on their own conditioning.
What if you’re trying to achieve a goal or dream. There are many ‘blocks’ : mental, emotional and physical which come up. Yet, all things being equal these are only beliefs too. i.e.
Even though I believe I can’t afford it. I choose to let this belief go as it no longer serves me.
Even though I believe I’m feeling angry. I choose to let this belief go as it no longer serves me.
I sometimes also end the phrase I choose to let this belief go as it no longer supports me.
I also use the whole phrase as a reminder phrase as I tap on all the other points, not just as my set-phrase.
Imagine for a moment if everything which stops you or you hold on to and keep you stuck really is just a belief. If you start to let your beliefs go, how many changes large or small will you suddenly begin to notice?
If you take logical levels as a change frame work, look at how pervasive changing a belief can be for you. Changing a belief not only affects your “lower” levels. It also has the potential to affect your own identity.
Remember this, beliefs don’t and wont stick unless they serve you in a positive way.
Give it an EFT go on all and everything. I’d love to hear your own results.
Happy Travels
