As an emotional freedom coach, I find that many clients have anxiety and worry around money and success. Inside, they know they have not reached their potential for financial abundance. They have resistance, fears, guilt, past failures, inner conflicts, and limiting beliefs about money that block their ability to use the law of attraction to allow well-being to flow into their lives. I recommend this book to my clients, and we often tap together using EFT on the specific memories Carol's abundance tapping exercises and games bring up.

Let me share with you a few specific stories of how I've used this book. One client is a new mother, her second child. She and her husband really needed money. Their car was broken down. They were tense and worried. I had her do just one of the games, the Cash Comfort game where she held a $100 bill in her hand, noticed the feelings it brought up, and tapped on the sequence of points while staring at the bill and holding it. There is more to the game, but the key point for this client is that after the game, she felt calm and hopeful. She did their taxes, which she had dreaded. And it turned out they were owed $1500 in a tax refund. Naturally, they would have eventually done their taxes and received the refund. Those of us who work with Carol's Attracting Abundance with EFT materials, though, see this kind of "surprise" happen for MANY people when they let go of even SOME of their fear and worry.

Another client was obsessing about his financial situation... and some would say with good reason. It was keeping him from sleeping and his negative, hopeless thoughts were leaving him with no energy to take proactive action. He tapped through the entire book and the exercises. And he continued to tap for 20 minutes every day using the book as his guide. His energy improved and his faith started to return. At the end of 30 days, his mental clarity and level of positive action towards turning around his financial situation were dramatically better. No miracle fortune arrived, but he also didn't lose the house and the car. We know from the Law of Attraction that first we must shift our vibration into one that attracts and allows the flow of abundance. This client's persistent action not only has helped him engage in a new business venture, it also has restored much of his hope and confidence (and when he needs a boost, he has a tool he can use for emotional self-care). I've found that when we are surrounded by negative circumstances, daily tapping with EFT using a series of well-crafted steps like these in Attracting Abundance with EFT is like taking a "shower" to wash off the "dirt." It feels so much better when we're done!

My last story observes the effect of this book on someone who was already successful. This client has a growing practice in the health arena. People who know him consider him positive, upbeat, and confident. All true! Yet, his business had hit a ceiling, and he knew his own limiting beliefs were keeping him from breaking through to a new level. We used EFT to tap on specific issues, and I sold him a copy of the book. After going through it once, he continues to tap on an exercise or two EVERY DAY. The results he credits to the book and EFT include:

- Changing his confidence level with other professionals; he's networking far more and building collaborative and profitable partnerships.
- He signed an agreement with his risk-adverse partner so he can take risks (and benefit from the upside) while providing the security the partner demanded; he stepped up as the leader rather than staying within his previous Comfort Zones.
- His vibration changed around his location, and a new location is opening up that will mean far more visibility.
- His business is generating more cash than at any previous time; his employees are going to be getting a nice bonus.

To me what this book does is help activate ALL that I already know about business. Clearing the blocks to success & abundance, increasing prosperity consciousness, activating the Law of Attraction, and claiming abundance now... these are the four simple steps covered in this book. Carol makes it fun. This book makes it easy.

Wow this book really was a great way to start learning EFT. It was my first book on the subject. An easy read, I spent less than an hour reading the book and immediately was able to start the process. She has great scripts that you can follow without having to create your own. The majority of the book is of her different scripts for specific issues. Most people think of abundance as monetary, however I was using her same scripts for abundance in health. You could also use it for abundance in love, relationships, career, sports etc. Since starting with this book, I've purchased two other EFT books because I believe in this stuff and want to hear how different people use it. Carol's book however is the only one where I've found a multitude of specific scripts and she also has a positive clearing script to end each of her individual scripts. The other authors do not have this positive clearing statement and it is a powerful thing to do. I find I am always going back to her book because it is so simple to follow. I highly recommend it. If you have little time to spare but still want to help yourself get out of your rut and take action the same day you read it, this is the book to read.

*****
I first read this book front to back, and then went through and did all of the exercises (EFT tapping scripts). If you are a beginner, don't worry, because the author includes brief instructions for performing the shortcut method of EFT, so anyone should be able to get started with EFT solely with this book. Additional resources are listed in the back of the book for those who need or want more information.

The EFT scripts are simple but highly effective and would be invaluable to both beginners and seasoned practitioners---and everyone in between. Beginners can follow the scripts "as is" to generate more abundance in their lives. Seasoned EFT practitioners can use the scripts to become more familiar with EFT Master Carol Look's approach in order to generate ideas for working with clients.

The book starts out by explaining EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with the best and most succinct definition I've ever seen:
"EFT is a form of psychological acupressure that uses light tapping instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points. The tapping on the designated points on the face and body is combined with verbalizing the identified problem followed by a general affirmation phrase. Combining these ingredients of the EFT technique balances the energy system and appears to relieve psychological stress and physiological pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities."

The book utilizes ideas and concepts that reflect the Abraham-Hicks philosophy (as seen in the movie "The Secret"). It combines these ideas, such as the Law of Attraction, in original exercises and EFT scripts that are extremely powerful.

The object of Carol Looks' approach is first, to clear energy blocks to success and abundance; second, to increase your prosperity consciousness; third, to activate the Law of Attraction; and fourth, to claim abundance now.

I cannot imagine anyone reading and practicing the scripts in this manual and not getting incredible results. It is a wealth of information that if utilized, will enhance anyone's life.

The only negative about the book is that the format is a bit off-putting. It has very large print and at first glance it looks like there is a lot of white space and not much substance. Actually, the opposite is true---the book is packed with substance. The format enhances the delivery of information---only one issue is printed per page so that you can focus on one script at a time while you are using EFT. You can repeat the script, if need be, without getting lost of confused.

This book is highly endorsed by premiere life coach Cheryl Richardson and others. Carol Look takes a tough topic and makes it easy, effective, and do-able for anyone!

Just a technical note: I would tap on each issue (energy blockage) much longer than the one round recommended by Carol. I'd explore it in depth. When I felt the energy block was totally cleared (SUDS level of zero), then and only then would I go on to the positive phrases listed for each issue. And then I'd spend probably a whole round tapping on each positive phrase, looking for tail-enders (EFT jargon for incongruence in the energy system). This is my approach to EFT, which differs a little in this emphasis from Carol's. No matter, the book is just as helpful and perfectly accommodates my approach...or yours.

Highly recommended for all.
*****

I highly recommend Carol's book, "Attracting Abundance with EFT." My husband and I have been using Carol's book to transform our own relationship with money and abundance in all areas of our lives. We enjoy her straight forward approach that is easily used and understood by anyone. The exercises and tapping statements she provides are practical, yet an insightful, use of the very powerful tool, EFT. We are both experiencing a greater peace and enthusiasm about our finances. One of our more poignant outcomes was to discover that we had an additional $600 in our checking account from a house payment we thought we owed, but had already payed. Coincidence? Not to us. Additional changes and experiences of abundance have continued to show themselves in our lives. Carol's book provides assistance and motivation to maintain consistency and because of that, as an Energy Therapist, Speaker and Coach, I am also looking forward to recommending Carol's book to clients in my upcoming workshops as additional guidance. To be sure, it is money well spent, a worthy investment.

I purchased this along with several other EFT books and each has its place. This gives a number of clear "tapping recipes" for improving one's performance in many areas of life. It focuses a lot on material abundance--money and success--but it also includes some for relationships and even one's relationship to God.

It strikes me as particularly helpful to the beginner who doesn't really want to understand how energy therapy works but wants quick results in his life. Another reviewer here mentioned that Carol's method of only doing one round of a negative belief before tapping in the positive affirmation is different than the way Gary Craig (the founder of EFT)teaches EFT. Gary's way is to completely eliminate the negative belief at its origin before attempting to introduce a positive belief. I suppose that whatever works is valuable and apparently a lot of people have benefitted from this book.

If you are the kind of person who likes recipes, you will appreciate this book. Many people, in the beginning, just want help in choosing words and Carol does this very well for them. If you are the kind of person who wants to understand basic principles and then formulate your own approach, this might be disappointing.

There is a nice tone to the book and I think that people with a spiritual orientation might like it. It seems less offensive than some "get rich" books that are on the market.

I did find it a little expensive compared to other books that give a lot more information. However if you are a serious EFT practitioner this is definitely a nice addition to your collection and one that you might find helpful to give to beginning clients.

Carol Look has written an excellent book on how to apply the techniques and principles of Energy Psychology and EFT specifically to help you attract what you want in your life via changing limiting beliefs. The technique involves tapping on energy points on your body while stating specific affirmations and tuning in desired outcomes. I know Carol well and I can tell you with confidence that she is sincere in her committment to this work. --Dr. Fred P. Gallo, author of Energy Tapping and Energy Tapping for Trauma: Rapid Relief from Post-Traumatic Stress Using Energy Psychology

As an EFT practitioner, I am familiar with Dr. Look's work. I love EFT, I use it on myself and with my clients. It works! Dr. Look has developed a marvelous plan to free us in the area of abundance. I am sure the book goes into a great deal of depth. However, please be aware that her abundance techniques with EFT are available on the EFT website: [...], as is an abundance of information on using EFT in every conceivable situation and with every conceivable problem. If you've never done EFT before, by all means, get the book. If you are already familiar with EFT, I strongly recommend getting Dr. Look's abundance EFT free on line.

This is a must have manual for anyone using (or struggling to use) the law of attraction in their lives.

Dr. Carol Look is a top recognized expert in the EFT world, but she will be remembered for her groundbreaking integration of EFT into applying the Law of Attraction. This is where she reveals her brilliance.

Why else would Bob Doyle of "the Secret" (www.wealthbeyondreason.com) endorse THIS book to his entire network of coaching clients? He urged his members to use this book, following a page a day for month, with amazing results.

Let's face it, the books and the movies leave you excited and wanting more, but really applying these "secret" principles in everyday life is hard. And why is it hard? Because we are human and have loads of programming and experiences interfering with our abundance goals. Add to that, the majority of this interfering "stuff" is below our conscious awareness, making it hard to find, never mind get free of. No wonder people are getting frustrated making the law of attraction work for them!

The answer is in this book. Using EFT, a dramatic personal change tool, and her knowledge of all the issues that block abundance (such as fears, limiting beliefs, guilt) Carol gives the ultimate recipe for success, literally in recipe form. All you have to do is follow along and say the words. You may not even think certain issues apply to you, only to find "stuff" coming up as you tap through the recipe...then, thankfully, it's gone.

Previous limits and fears disappear leaving you in a place of peace, gratitude, excitement and natural forward motion.

EFT is named the emotional freedom technique because it gives you freedom from painful memories, traumas, habits and beliefs. Carol's use of EFT for abundance will set you free to be more, achieve more AND recieve more abundance into your life.

Great book for dealing with hidden fears that maybe stopping you from getting what you really want. I've been using it in conjunction with the classic book, "The Science of Getting Rich" by W. D. Wattles along with Rebecca Fine's online course for using Mr. Wattles teachings.

This is the best I have read on the subject, to date. I recommend it to anyone, especially beginners or those experienced that are ready for something that might take them beyond where they are with some new ideas. Ahhhh... imagine a therapy that you can actually do on yourself for FREE?
