This is a must have self-healing book for all who are tired of feeling bad, but not knowing how to stop all the memories that keep us this way. I found my copy at a local yard sale, and within minutes of beginning therapy, I felt my real self again and the rot of bad memories and experiences pealing off. One of the the best thing I've learned is the forgiveness tecnique of forgiving someone that had mad me 'angry'. Not just forgiving, per se, but having a contact target from base emotions(anger)to forgive.
If anyone is having trouble with stumbling blocks to the real 'you', just try this truly life enhancing study. You'll not be sorry, just able to be glad and joyful at last, from with-in, not just some mask you might have to wear.

You may be reading this and wonder how tapping points on your body (similar to accupuncture)could help you. My therapist taught me the technique and it got me off Rx drugs for anxiety (panic attacks). It doesn't require you to believe in the technique, you start to believe when it works after only a couple of times.

I bought to book to learn tapping for other more minor problems after I found how well it works. The book explains everything very well. Yes, it's too weird and your friends will laugh (don't tell them), but you too will be happy with the results.

EFT, TFT, and Energy Tapping are all pretty much the same and this book does a really good job at teaching the techniques. I would recommend going to emofree.com (EFT) and consider purchasing their CD-ROM's of workshop material. It's always easier to learn when you can see someone else demonstrating it for you.

I've tried just about everything over the years and I must say this is the real deal... FINALLY. I got my first panic attack, and subsequent depression, when I was 13 and the problems only worsened as I aged. I'm 39 now and my only regret is not having this amazing tool years ago. The long-standing social phobia I had literaly vanished within the first couple sessions.

Most people are probably aware of the basic purpose and potential health benefits of acupuncture and acupressure. Energy tapping follows the same basic premises of these two types of therapy. The only differences are that energy tapping looks at only 17 median points on the body, mostly located in the face, hand, and upper chest areas. Moreover, instead of applying pressure or using specialized needles, energy tapping as the name suggests, consists of light tapping on these areas. This process is so simple that the reader can easily do the therapy on him or herself as needed for help with everything from anxiety and depression through reduction of cravings and help with weight loss to improving relationships and dealing with trauma.

The exercises set out in Energy Tapping are simple to do by following the instructions and using the various illustrated charts in each section of the book. Moreover, the reader will find some relief even with the very first set of therapies.

I brought this book with me on a trip. The environment that I was in was extremely stressfull and I found myself having anxiety attacks. I had not practiced the techniques in this book and figured that it was the perfect time, because of the stressfull situation I was in. AMAZINGLY, this stuff works! I was able to calm down, change my thought patterns, my anxiety went away and I was more clear headed. You can go into a bathroom (or somewhere private) to quickly practice these techniques if you are in a stressfull situation. I think they are a great way to start your day and change negetive thought patterns. I am also interested in Palm Therapy, just because it is nice to have a tool at your fingertips (no pun intended)that you can do anywhere. (It is alot less obvious to rub your hand in public, rather than tapping on various areas of your body.) But really, what matters is, does it work? Yes, for me it does, absolutely.

The human body is made up of energy, and energy courses through our meridians and acupuncture points as taught by the ancient chinese. Western science and research has documented and researched these theories with Kirilian photographs and other energy detection machines, and the acupuncture points and meridians are now widely accepted as existing. Western Science also has the same theory, that the body is made up of electromagnetic field with positive and negative charges, which is similar to what the ancient chinese theorized.
Many times people claim that when their chiropractor touches a specific point, a memory comes to their mind, and they are able to release it. The ancient chinese say, emotion, thought and energy are interlinked. Therefore any emotional blockages can cause energy to be blocked in specific meridians. Work with the energy, and you work with the emotion as well, it is a feedback loop.
This book is a great manual! It contains all the different points and ways to tap for each negative feeling. It discusses all the emotions in detail, and how we go about releasing them. Although this method is great and it works, users should also take care of their health through diet, as physiology and energy level affects the quality of emotion and thought we have. When you are tired and sick, you think very differently than when you are well and energetic.

I had been struggling with ongoing depression after a family member suicided. I didn't want to take anti-depressants, but years of pathwork were not helping.

I purchased this book during a particularly bad bout, and did the work for depression. AMAZING! I literally couldn't find the sadness, the despair, the emotional sense of being overwhelmed five minutes later! I then went on to some other issues that were troubling me, and found it just as easy...and effective.

Do take time to read the introductory chapters, paying special attention to "psychological reversal". If your dealing with longstanding issues that have depleted your energy levels, you must focus here before attacking specifics. Also note the author's admonition that certain experiences are held down by multiple holdings, and must be worked with kind of like you'd peel an onion.

None of this makes real intellectual sense to me...yet. But I do accept that there is an energetic level to our existence that eastern healing has tapped into...and western science cannot explain (such as use of acupuncture instead of anesthesia for operations).

If you are hurting, try it, and see for yourself whether it can help. Amazon.com will accept the book back from you if it doesn't.

This book did not resonate with me at all. I would have liked to seen more conclusive case studies over long periods of time and what the results were - either positive or negative. The limited case studies cited did not help to convice me that these methods truly work. I felt rushed reading the book, when in fact I wanted more details, more substance and more conclusive observations.

I have read a lot of good books on energy medicine and unfortunately, this book was not one of them

I picked up Energy Tapping a few weeks ago after I heard Tony Robbins talking about how much he is impressed by it. It's about Energy Psychology. It was an easy and exciting read. What impressed me the most is that the technique really works, and it works FAST! So far I have eliminated a long standing fear of heights and there were several painful events in my past that now no longer bother me since I used energy tapping to eliminate the painful emotions. I can still remember the events, but they just don't bother me. Amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend this book to EVERYONE. It will save you time, money, and emotional pain. I hear that the technique can also be used to treat depression, anxiety attacks, and even physical pain like headaches. Remarkable for a self-help book, although the authors say that with really tough problems, a therapist trained in this approach may be needed.

I would hate for someone who could be helped by this book to read a couple misinformed reviewers and shy away from trying it. So, just to jump into the discussion, I am a teacher of kinesiology and acupressure, and to the reviewer who found incorrect information, I wish to say the following:
It is indeed valid for the authors to say that points for a specific meridian are the same on both hands, because there are so many different schools of acupuncture that it would be ridiculous to claim that one is right and the other wrong. The exact location of acupuncture points is today and has been debated throughout history. Additionally, the exact path of each meridian is extremely intricate and impossible to illustrate. Hence, books for lay people only show general paths, which are the same on both sides of the body. These are useful but not exact, and millions of people use these very general interpretations every day with great results. Additionally, it would in most cases be impossible for a layperson to flood a meridian with the "wrong" Qi, for 2 reasons: a) they are not a professional and therefore do not know the specific steps that would cause an imbalance, and b) contrary to the teachings of many "new age" methods, a healthy meridian can handle energy going in any direction. I would encourage anyone who is interested in the subject to try the simple methods in this book, and see if it works for them.
