Hello I'm the best friend of Sapphirez :) I've also been trying EFT the accepted way recently but have been second guessing my technique and not practicing it often enough. I also do firmly believe in the teachings of Abraham Hicks but believe they can be used in conjunction with EFT when still beginning on our journey of self improvement. So, I think I'll shut out any doubts about my technique and just try the format outlined above by user eftforhealth. Thanks for this thread Star Child!
