Comments on: Bones to Pick http://www.eftzone.com/2007/02/25/bones-to-pick/ Using EFT to create positive results at work, in play and everyday life Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:15:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Rod Sherwin http://www.eftzone.com/2007/02/25/bones-to-pick/comment-page-1/#comment-19 Rod Sherwin Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:30:00 +0000 http://www.eftzone.com/2007/02/25/bones-to-pick/#comment-19 I have a variation on Betty's technique called the "Rant & Rave" technique. I use this when, like Paul, in the article I have something I need to get off my chest. I do a simple setup statement something like "Even though I'm angry at so and so, I deeply and completely accept myself". I then continuously do rounds of EFT while getting myself as worked up as I can about the issue, the person and sometime the way I acted as well. Eventually, I can't think of anything further to say and calm down. Only after I have vented, do I then do tap around the possibility of forgiveness: "Even though their behaviour was wrong on so many levels, I'm open to forgiving them." "Even though I don't want to forgive them, I claim back my power that my anger has given them." I may never actually get to forgiving them but I do like to do that tapping to work towards that outcome. I have a variation on Betty’s technique called the “Rant & Rave” technique.
