A Life Changing Experience, November 15, 2007
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight with EFT*: *Emotional Freedom Techniques (Paperback)
I have worn glasses since I was 6 and have always longed to see better. Although I was looking forward to reading and experiencing this book, when it arrived I couldn't bring myself to open it! What was that all about? I couldn't see a down side to improving my sight and I finally had to do some EFT tapping to get rid of my resistance. Once I started, I was amazed and excited as the program unfolded.
Each chapter teaches the reader to eliminate different emotional blocks that can affect our eyes: anger, fear, guilt, anxiety, resentment, and limiting beliefs. The author provides a different statement to be said out loud at each of the EFT points. The first round is for the negative statements such as, "I have this fear stuck in my eyes." I wish I hadn't seen what I saw." I can't forget what I saw." The next round consists of positive statements like,"I can get over what I saw." I can forgive myself for looking." etc.
All that we need to do is use EFT tapping for only 5 minutes a day. The author asks us to spend 2 weeks to eliminate anger, and I found that I needed the entire time to let go of past and present rage and frustration.
Although I have worked on myself for a great many years, I had an amazing breakthrough toward the end of the 8 week program where understanding of the 2 most important traumas in my life suddenly came together to show me that when I went through those awful moments I decided that I didn't want to see what was happening. It was as if a light bulb had gone on suddenly illuminating the dark corners of my mind where aspects of these memories had actually been erased from my brain. The "aha" was thrilling and cleansing as I felt a profound release.
Soon after I finished the book I returned to my eye doctor to see if there had been any improvement in my vision, and I was encouraged to see that there was. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. You will benefit in more ways than you expect.

EFT for dummies, July 15, 2009
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight with EFT*: *Emotional Freedom Techniques (Paperback)
Having recently "discovered" EFT through a group promoting it to be used for "EVERYTHING", I was at a loss as to the language to use while tapping for what ever problems one intends to address.Since I wanted to use it for an unusual vision problem I searched for additional help and came across this book. It is based on the author's (Carol Look)experiment with a group of volunteers who saw remarkable results. A few minutes each day, for eight weeks, one week each on 8 different emotions, participants tap through the sequences. The author makes it easy as she gives you the "language" to be used for each session and tapping point.I'm in the 4th week of tapping and like to share with you that while my specific problem (double vision) has not yet been resolved, I have however noticed an improvement in my vision, being able to easily read signs I was not able to read without squinting prior to the tapping. Vision and emotions are definitely related. Also, it only works if you actually do the tapping. Often people are not ready to let go of challenges and the author addresses that issue in the first weeks tapping session.
I recommend this book not only for the vision, but also for newcomers to EFT to have the language which they can then adjust to their own challenge.

Do I really want to see? YES, March 5, 2008
This review is from: Improve Your Eyesight with EFT*: *Emotional Freedom Techniques (Paperback)
This is a well-written and organized book that promises better vision through guided Emotional Freedom Techniques. This tapping accompanied with examples of statements you say, is carefully explained and orchestrated over several weeks. I found my sight and vision changing as I tapped through the negative charges attached to my emotions and memories. The first week I wondered at the lack of insights/memories then, bingo! They began. What I discovered about myself was that it took perseverance to continue after the chapters on anger. Frankly I allowed "life" to interfere and I quit inspite of the amazing changes I noticed in my vision. I'm now restarting the "program". I choose to heal!
