Product Description

This is the print version of the "Official Manual for Emotional Freedom Techniques" or EFT. It is one of the most successful psychology self-help manuals ever published. EFT is a remarkable new technique which uses the body's natural stress-reduction points. When organised into the EFT 'basic recipe', self-stimulation of these points by touching or tapping has been demonstrated to rapidly reduce anxiety, depression, phobias and other conditions. EFT originator Gary Graig takes the reader through the basic steps of identifying the emotional roots of their problems, and crafting a combination of words that will trigger a healing response. He then demonstrates the one-minute healing routine that is the basis of EFT. He discusses the ways in which EFT can be applied to a variety of common conditions, including pain, fears, addictions and cravings, weight issues, insomnia and guilt.

EFT Manual
This is an excellent introduction to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). It is written by Gary Craig, who introduced EFT to the world. The instructions in the book are very repetitive, but the author excuses this by (correctly in my view) stating that repetition is vital to good learning. For those who are unaware of what EFT is, it is an extremely simple method of rebalancing the body's energy, thereby accessing the body's self-healing system. EFT is geared towards emotional healing, but many physical healings come about as a sort of "side-effect". It is based on the premise that emotional problems, often buried in the subconscious mind, are responsible for most mental and physical illness. It may sound like new age claptrap, but I can assure you that it works! In the three weeks or so that I have been using EFT, it has allowed me to release a great deal of anger, has helped me with paranoia (I suffer from a serious mental illness), and has also largely cleared my catarrh problem, which is a side-effect of my medication. It has got rid of a persistent pain I had in my right side, which I believe was an irritable gall-bladder. EFT has also had a beneficial effect on my shoulder injury, which I have had for 15 years. The reason I am listing all these healings, rather than actually speaking about the book itself, is to encourage people reading this review to buy the book, and investigate the almost miraculous healing powers of EFT. One of the maxims I live by is, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is". I feel that this maxim goes out of the window, so to speak, when one talks about EFT. It does sound too good to be true, but it really does work, I assure you. Please try it. It could transform your life.

Easy to read, life-changing!
Get this book. It is quick and easy reading and will teach you a skill which you can use so often, not only to help yourself but others. I only read it a few weeks but have seen changes in people around me and in myself, both physically and mentally, from doing the very basic 'tapping' which is described here.

EFT explained for beginners
I stumbled on EFT on the internet while looking for something else and thought it sounded interesting so ordered the manual (also another book which didn't turn out to be very useful) I found the manual easy to follow and it gives enough explanation to get you started without bogging you down with too much technical jargon.

I have found that it works, not every time, but often and I'm only a beginner. I have also told others about it and had some success so now I've ordered the first set of DVD's. I can thoroughly recommend it.
