Hi Rockford, I had to butt in, been busy for a couple of days and awhole thread on EFT starts up! How exciting!! The Choices Method by Patricia Carrington does this beautifully.
Dr. Patricia Carrington's use of "Choices" in the EFT Setup Phrase She developed the Choice trio. Very similar to the shortcut process available from my homepage, and she produces an ebook describing it in detail.
Basically you do a set-up statement that replaces the affirmation part with a positive choice.
So for example:
Even though I have this headache, I choose to feel calm and peace in my whole body.
The Choice part can just be the opposite of the "problem", but it must be expressed in positive and enticing words, so you'd really like it!
Then you use the shortcut process points, and for the first round, you use the "problem" reminder words, the second round, you use the "choice" words, and then the third round you alternate between the two.
This uses an NLP technique (EFT uses a lot of NLP) where you anchor the positive thought to the negative thought, so whenever you find yourself thinking the negative thought, you automatically choose the positive thought. It can be used on all problems you'd use EFT on. So everything! Many EFT practitioners (myself included) will use the normal shortcut method for the first round or two, then when the strength of the feeling has reduced to about 5/10, you swap to the choices method to install the positive belief. I'm using this now myself to train myself to always put my keys in the right place!!! It's working!
