i tend to agree that the setup in EFT is really key... but Robert Smith ( of Faster Eft) pours that in very naturally, toward the end of the clearing, when it IS way more easy for the person to accept they want forgiveness.
( as importantly as forgiving anyone else)
You often see people laughing or chuckling over realizing what masters they had become at terrorizing themselves, by replaying these old images and feelings...
this realization coincides with the perfect moment to say, "and I forgive them, and I forgive myself ...
and Peace.
" and Peace" , holding the wrist, ( which is often not visible in the videos) is the end point of every "round" of tapping... and it effectively is empowered with complete and unconditional Love.
