EFT is brilliant for clearing limiting beliefs! I used EFT on my own limiting beliefs to lose the weight I needed to lose.
It takes a lot of mental head-clearing to clear limiting beliefs cos they are deeply ingrained. Many limiting beliefs are listed under our basic "how the world works" and "self-identity" rules, and they are very hard to clear just by emptying your mind.
Affirmation by themselves can actually just underscore the beliefs. Go on, say out loud to yourself "I am in the process of becoming a healthy weight", and listen to the voice that comes into your head right after you've finished speaking. It's actually like a conversation is happening. "You can't lose weight, you always give in on a diet", or "You've always been fat" or something along those lines. Did you hear it?
EFT refers to these comments as "tail enders", and they are being affirmed each time you say the affirmation. So unless you get rid of the tail enders, you will have difficulty with affirmations. This is where standard affirmations give affirmations a bad name.
Now get a basic beginners guide on EFT (
my website or the emofree website - mine's shorter tho!) and now, say the affirmations over a few times, write down the tail-enders and do EFT on each tail ender until you can say the affirmation and there is no voice telling why you can't.
Now the affirmation will work, and you may well find that with no willpower used at all, you will lose the weight. There's more info on this at <http://www.reallygoodideas.com.au/positivity-part-1/>, including how to frame the affirmation for maximum success!
Give it a go, what have you got to lose?
Much joy to all
