Book Reviews of The EFT Manual (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques)
Book Review: Mind-body Link
Summary: 4 Stars
I am thrilled that a manual--an excellent, easy to follow manual--for learning and applying Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is being made available to the general public. For three decades EFT has metaphorically hung around the fringe of the therapeutic community under different names, being invited into client sessions or out into the public only when an adventurous therapist or psychologist forayed into subtle energy healing. But as collective consciousness shifts and we better understand the significance energy has in both our physical and mental well-being (or lack of it), EFT is taking its well-deserved place among those healing techniques arising in the field of energy psychology.
In a nutshell, EFT combines some basic self-inquiry with sequences of "tapping" meridian points to clear emotions disruptions, or physical pain. The meridians are the energy "channels" through which our life energy flows and this energetic flow affects our muscles, tissues, and organs. Each meridian also has an associated emotional attribute; this is the link between mind and body.
For example, if you have a fear of heights, you would begin with a statement such as, "Even though I have this fear of heights, I deeply and completely accept myself." Then follow the sequences Craig gives, which includes some tapping combined with eye movement (an aspect of EMDR): the whole process takes only a few minutes and anyone can easily follow the sequences without probing into unwelcome memories or needing any medical background.
Naturally there are qualifiers: repetition and consistency are required, and the results vary with each person. Still, EFT has some astounding success stories, even with acute or chronic ailments, or long-held disturbances in our emotional energy. And when working with emotions in particular, there is no doubt that our skill level in getting to the fundamental causes can be cultivated and refined with practice and study--which is why this particular healing modality is so well-suited for therapists and psychologists. However, The EFT Manual gives all the tools needed to utilize this technique regardless of your background; the only requirement is a willingness to try it. You don't even have to believe it works.
Be sure to check out "EFT for Back Pain" and "EFT for PTSD" by Gary Craig as well; although the "basic recipe" for EFT is the same, each offers more depth and focus into EFT and enriches your understanding of this simple and stunning mind-body healing technique.
Summary of The EFT Manual (EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques)
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 organized into the EFT "basic recipe," self-stimulation of these points by toucing 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.Emotions Books
