| EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES: SET-UP AND REMINDER PHRASES |
| "EFT is at the forefront of the new healing movement." Candace Pert, PhD, author of Molecules of Emotion |
The set-up phrase is basically a sentence used to bring the problem into
awareness. Whatever the problem is, that becomes the beginning of the set-up
phrase. If you're afraid of snakes, for example, you would begin with something
like, "Even though I have this fear of snakes..."
You could also use, "Even though snakes terrify me," or "Even though I have
this snake phobia," or etcetera. The wording here doesn't matter, though it's
helpful to have it resonate with what you're feeling.
The second half of the phrase is an affirmation, most often reflecting either
self-acceptance or a positive choice. "...I deeply and completely accept myself"
is the standard end of the set-up phrase, and this wording is frequently used by
beginners and Masters alike.
Ending the set-up phrase with a positive choice, a modification courtesy of Dr.
Pat Carrington, is another option. "...I choose to feel calm and confident" is an
example of ending the phrase with a positive choice.
There's no "right answer" with regard to the set-up phrase. It's just basic
common sense, plus what is true and resonant for you. If you aren't getting
results, you may want to tweak your set-up phrase a bit, or you could try
shouting it! Sometimes repeating the set-up phrase loudly and emphatically
can help a great deal.
If you still not getting any improvement, the most likely explanation is that you
haven't found the core issue. If you're not addressing the real problem, the
words are automatically wrong.

The reminder phrase is made up of a few words that keep the energetic system
focused on the problem as you move through the tapping sequence. For our
previous example-- fear of snakes-- you can use, "fear of snakes." You repeat
this reminder phrase at each tapping point.
If multiple rounds of tapping are needed on the same issue, it helps to change
your phrasing a little. For instance, "Even though I still have some of this fear
of snakes..." You should also include the word, "remaining" in your reminder
phrase; for example, "remaining fear of snakes." This helps the brain work on
what is left of the problem, so that you can continue to make progress.
