Hi all,
This question I find particularly useful when tap into a body part that have physical problem. When asking it and paying attention to the flow, really quick changes are obvious, and positive resolving of the emotional causes, too. After asking that question, key is to paying attention of what happens to the flow, insights, changes - with acceptance and gratitude.

This is written by Rue Hass, from EFT newsletter.

This next question can produce the revelations that lead to growth and healing. The question is:
What is the positive intention of that emotion/behavior/symptom?
If the part of you that is running that behavior were trying to get something for you, what would it be?

I might even follow the flow from the person’s first answer to a deeper one by saying: “So if you got that, what would it get for you that is even more important?” This question can be asked again and again, and the answers go deeper each time.
I always assume that if something is blocking the flow of spirit toward manifesting in the fullest possible way through a person, it has some positive intention. In EFT terms this is a Psychological Reversal. The symptom, whether it is a limiting belief, a behavior, or a body response or pain, is a dark angel, so to speak.

I think of it as a part of us that has been trying forever to get something for us, usually safety or protection. It is like a horse with blinders, I will say. “This part of you is trying desperately to help you, but it only knows how to do this one strategy – this symptom – and it is stuck in the ON position. Maybe it is trying to distract you from facing something difficult, or maybe it is keeping you from saying or doing something that in the past might have been dangerous or not allowed. But now this strategy is not longer helpful to you. It stands in the way of your healing.”

I hope that you'll find this approach useful, as I did. i especially like that shift in perspective: illness, problem , obstacle in our body versus: our body communicating with us , trying to help, guiding us.

With Love,
Jelena

Hi Jelena,

WOW Thanks for posting this its very good Sounds all so logical but you have to think of it first

I love the questions.
If the part of you that is running that behavior were trying to get something for you, what would it be?
“So if you got that, what would it get for you that is even more important?” This question can be asked again and again, and the answers go deeper each time.

I have a very little, very helpful EFT book and in it I found the points to tap when there is a Psychological Reversal. The book is called: E.F.T. in your pocket by Isy Grigg. I love little books. They come straight to the point.
With each tapping point is given the meridian and the emotions connected. Say for example the eyebrow point-Bladder-is for courage and energy and the Psychological Reversal points are under the nose-GV-and the chin-CV-tapping them at the same time.
I do this when I do not trust the outcome of my dowsing/pendulum questions.

Thanks again
Much Love
