Customer Reviews

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.

The EFT Manual

This book has been very helpful. I heard of EFT just recently and wanted to know more. I read the book quickly and was able to apply the technique within hours...I could have done it sooner, but I like to know just about everything about something first. Gary Craig is down to earth and uses terms that everyone can understand. He also provides some illustrations of the techniques. I have been using the technique on many people since my recent purchase of the book. My Twin Sister has a chronic disease and I have seen many improvements already. As for myself, it has been very beneficial in losing weight. I am taking it off slowly, but the greatest thing is this.....I'm not dieting! Thank you Gary for everything you do. I've given your book to many already and I plan to continue!

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.

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.

A Notable Contribution to the Field of Energy Psychology

Gary Craig has simplified thought field therapy (TFT) through his groundbreaking Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and with great generosity and skill has already spread EFT to some one million readers. Now through Energy Psychology Press, he has made EFT available for the next million users in this easy to follow and understand straight forward manual filled with step by step instructions and diagrams enriched by stories of those who have successfully used EFT. As the back cover suggests, whether you touch or tap the acupressure points, you can quickly begin a deeply healing connection with your energy system. The technique can help readers rapidly alleviate emotional distress as thousands of loyal adherents can attest. Therapists should have a copy of this classic in their waiting rooms and everyone should have one in their home. Field workers in critical and traumatic situations should take note of the rapid, positive effects of EFT. This excellent work has raised public awareness of energy psychology in a way that no other publication has and as such is a notable contribution to the field.
