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.

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.

After reading some of the negative reviews claiming that EFT
is nothing more than quakery, cold reading, snake oil etc,
I thought I would respond.
I'm highly suspcious and criticial by nature. I'm not much of
a "believer" in anything. I know what cold reading is and I understand the mindset of those who seek a panacea. And those seek easy answers to complex and substantial problems.
I didn't think EFT would work for me. A friend introduced me
to meridian therapies and I was doubtful and highly resistant
to even trying tapping. However I am the kind of person who sticks to the decisions I make and because of a friends urging I tried EFT.
I worked with EFT for about two hours a night. Within a month
The following happened.
12 years of significant back pain went away for good after 2 intense
EFT sessions.
35 years of a chronic, daily Post Traumatic Stress Disorder went away, never to return after 6 eft sessions.
Numerous other emotional issues evaporated over the course of the month.
My mind feels much clearer now. I have more relaxed point of view. I saved a relationship from parting by becoming a non stressed person. My work is easier to do now. Life is easier. I do eft every day on the little and big stresses that pop up. Its interesting, fascinating and powerful.
EFT is easy to learn and once you learn it, there is nothing more to buy. Its based on acupunture, which has about 4000 years of recorded use. To the skeptics; IT WORKS whether you like it or not!
THIS Book is the OFFICIAL MANUAL by the MAN who started EFT. Isn't this the intelligent place to begin? There are many deviations of EFT (all good), but this is the one Manual where you will the form that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world. This is the first book to buy on EFT. After that check out Carol Look's book on EFT and Abundance.
If you're on the fence about EFT, its time to spend ten bucks and give yourself an opportunity to experience the power of meridian tapping.

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.

The EFT Manual
It was pretty much like all typical self-help books and I wasn't particularly inspired. I hesitate to recommend self help books.
