Re: [ET2] Intention vs Willpower - are we trying too hard?

Did you write it for me? :)

Even getting some results with ET, In the most of time I'm stuck on the
errors described by you when we use the willpower to try to make the
EmoTrance works!

I stopped to use ET... even EFT... I got great success with the
techniques... but... when I feel stuck with some issue, I start to think
that was just a coincidence... or a Induction with Thought...

You answered a lot of doubts in this message!

Thank You a lot!!
