a question about positive and negative statements

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. I usually just listen in but this time I have a

question... In EFT we tap away the charge of negative thoughts. So

if I believe I'm stupid, I tap while repeating this statement. What

happens is that the charge connected to this negative thought

disappears and I no longer associate myself with this negative

belief. We also tap on positive statements both in EFT and in other

therapies. The question then in my mind is if we can tap on the

positive to in a way code ourselves can't we be doing this with the

negative, especially if we are inclined to believe it? Does the body

know in some way that being stupid is not a good thing? With being

stupid the concept might be a bit more clear cut but how would this

work with something like I really love smoking? Why is it that we

end up not loving smoking? I know this works but I can't explain why?

Thanks
