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 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.

Customer Reviews

A must-have book
Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (9/08)

As a former practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) and avid proponent of the system, I commend Gary Craig in providing this concise, small-sized manual that is chock-full of information, not only for someone wanting to learn about EFT but for practitioners to expand their knowledge. Understanding and knowing about the body's energy system is the key to successful results from EFT.

Craig insists on learning the traditional way of applying EFT and mastering the concept first. This is in section I of the manual. In section II he does give shortcuts, however, I agree with him on mastering the concepts first. The system will take understanding and practice. Once mastered, Craig point outs you would be able to help clients attain freedom in their lives; freedom from negative emotions and self-doubt. He also indicates we can manifest results in goals, e.g., creating greater income. The benefits are abundant on all levels - emotional, physical, and spiritual.

"The EFT Manual" provides steps (Craig calls this the basic recipe): 1. the setup, 2. the sequence, 3. the 9 gamut procedure, 4. the sequence (yes, again). He also supplies tips, explanations, and case studies. This is truly a "manual" for a healing process.

Gary Craig, through "The EFT Manual," has given us an effortless way to have breakthrough healing results. The power of the simple techniques is phenomenal and may be mastered by anyone, experienced or not experienced in alternative healing methods. This is a must-have book for practitioners, ministers, coaches, and laypersons.

Can we just clear up a few misconceptions?
There seems to be a great deal of confusion about costs for EFT materials and about what it is necessary to buy to become a competent practitioner. In actual fact, if you are ok about not having glossy covers and packaging, all of the materials are available for no cost whatsoever.

I think it is important to point out that you can become a very competent EFT user just by detailed study of the manual. If you want a nice shiny new book, buy a copy, but the manual is also available as a FREE e-book download from Gary's web site.

You DO NOT NEED the DVDs in order to get some solid benefit from EFT as a self-help tool. If, however, 1) you wish to be a serious student of EFT and want to become an expert in these techniques and/or 2) you are skeptical about EFT and need to see lots and lots of evidence, you should seriously consider getting the DVDs.

Another "reviewer" has noted that it costs $150 for 3 DVDs. Wrong! It costs $150 for 3 SETS of DVDs. This is 40 hours of film, plus audio content, wrapped up in nice packaging.

However, it is possible to acquire the DVDs for "free" as well. If one person buys them, they are allowed to make up to 100 copies of each disk and to distribute them freely. (They are NOT allowed to sell them!) Buy some blank DVDs, find someone who owns the DVD sets and request a copy. There are loads of EFT groups and forums online where you can contact others who are willing to share, or to make a group purchase.

And, in the interests of fairness, I'd like to point out that the money generated from sales is used to promote EFT around the world. Gary Craig makes no personal profit from EFT products.

Wonderful book!!!!
I LOVE this book. I am so happy that Gary Craig came out with a manual for everyone that is formatted so that you can quickly read through it. I tried some of the techniques in this book and some blockages that I had went away. I was a stubborn one with some energy blocks that I could not overcome until I read this book. What a gift. EFT has changed my life. I have been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (I am a veteran), EFT has helped me overcome some major trauma in my life. Thank you Gary Craig and Roger Calllahan for all of your work and for helping to make EFT available to the general population. This book gives many wonderful tips and insights that may otherwise takes years of practicing EFT to discover. This (and Linda Wallace's EFT DVD workshop and Roger Callahan's book) are by far the best purchases I have ever made. Life changing. Literally. Thank you. I highly recommend this book.
