The Promise of Energy Psychology by David Feinstein , Donna Eden and Gary Craig

Book title in the UK: The Healing power of EFT and Energy Psychology

I recently got the book and it is much better than anything by mantak Chia. The book primarly written by David Feinstein starts with an introduction of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to the readers and it explains how EFT can be used for all sort of problems such as PTSD, addiction, depression, chronic anxiety, phobias, physical ailment. The basic EFT method is given with explanation to work with it.

A lot of detailed information is provided on psychological reversal (the reason why sometimes EFT and other energy psychology method doesn’t work) , these information come with instruction to overcome psychological reversal. The books contains a lot of example of EFT cases but many are from the Gary Craig DVDs home study course, I studied EFT from that home study course and

I was familiar with many of the cases. However, it has also some new cases that if you do not have the EFT home study course , you can still manage to learn from. I learned how EFT can be applied on small children and the case about that woman suffering from agoraphobia (fear of open space) was very interesting.

The second part of the book teaches how to use EFT to achieve your goals by erasing limiting beliefs and tail-enders and installing positive resource that empower you. A tail-ender is a condition that people put at the end of their affirmation thus completely cancelling its effect. One common tail-ender is the following:

I believe, I can create my reality with the the law of attraction, but I doubt this law because I have no way to prove it to myself.

The part that is actualized is … “I doubt this law because I have no way to prove it to myself”. The first part is completely cancelled with EFT you can work on that.

You can even work on a disbelief in EFT itself. Also instruction to work with core beliefs and self-image concept are given, very valuable information in there. In addition there is information to really make affirmations work.

The third part of the book is about the body energetic system and the radiant joy circuits. There is an introduction to the energetic system, the chakras, the aura , the meridians etc… Then the book gives instruction to perform the 5 minutes energy routine, it balance the energy systems. The video of that drill is there:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr-FEoY440g

Finally, there are very detailed information and techniques to activate your radiant circuits and sedate your triple warmer. Not only you get the techniques but also method to make your radiant circuits even stronger !!!

I consider this book a must-read. The activation of your radiant circuits will bring immense joy combined with the power of the Silva Ultramind course and you have pretty much the best manifestation system on the planet. If you read the Abraham-Hicks material on manifesting they keep telling over and over that “feeling good” is what make manifesting faster ! If you planned to buy some movies or video games, cancel the purchase, go get this book instead! if you apply everything from the book within a year, you could be very far in your life!

In 2006 Dr. Carol Look expert in EFT did an experiment to find out if it was possible to use the simple procedure of EFT to improve eyesight. It was a 8 weeks experiment with initially 400 participants (120 dropped out)
According to that study 75 % of the participants showed an improvement in their vision during and by the end of the study.
25 % of the participants indicated no change or improvement.
Participants had a variety of vision problems such as astigmatism , floaters, myopia, glaucoma, catarats and more.

A range of emotions are linked to vision problems and according to that study anger was the number one issue (42 %).
Followed by anxiety, fear, guilt and hurt. Also something very interesting is that many participants had a fear of seeing (understanding). It is also what Karol Truman author of “Feeling Buried Never Die” find out about vision problems that they were linked to issues such as:

- Not wanting to understand what is seen
- Not seeing the truth
- Fearing the future (including aging)
- Inability to see ones own self worth.

Her list from her book is even longer. Back to the study, Dr. Carol Look wrote about one of her participant called Cheri in those terms:

What she found was that her ability to notice improvement in one of the categories, “Brightness” improved in the range of 50-75% (categorized as a level “4″ in the experiment, a “definite improvement.”) Her “Color Perception” improved at the level of a “3″ (25-50%) and”Color Contrast” improved also by a “4″ or somewhere between 50-75% on the rating scale. Cheri’s reported improvement in her farsighted vision was also rated as “definite improvement” at a “4.”She noticed this particularly when walking outdoors with her walking partner who “got an earful” about the beautiful scenery. She is also now able to watch television from afar. On the final questionnaire, Cheri wrote, “It has been many years since I’ve been able to see clearly the trees and their foliage or to determine if the rattle was a squirrel or a bird. My emotions are deeply buried and will take more work. My eyesight is something I can truly enjoy daily as I continue to work on my emotions.”

Conclusion: Consider the easy method of EFT that you can learn in one afternoon or less.

Energy Medicine and Eyes fatigue

Donna Eden the expert in energy medicine recommends the following for “lazy” eye and fatigue.

Dear Donna: My son was born with a “lazy eye.” Until now he has had an
easy enough time managing it. But he is now a college student, and the intense
studying fatigues his eyes. As a result, he is having a lot more trouble with this
problem. What can I have him do to help himself?

A: Get him into the habit of deeply massaging the K-27 points twice a day,
especially when he is tired. He can also massage the bone/orbit surrounding his
eyes. This is done with the thumbs pointed into the bones that surround the
eyes. The eye bone massage should be done daily and deeply. Also, have him
palm his eyes while breathing deeply for about 30 seconds. I am also a big fan
of the “spindle cell maneuver,” which in this case would be for him to gently pinch
and stretch the eyelid of his good eye twice each day. In addition, the 5-minute
“Daily Energy Routine” explained in Chapter 3 of Energy Medicine should help
him not only with his general health and sense of vitality, but also with the “lazy
eye.”

Silva Ultramind system for vision improvement

In the book “Ultramind ESP system” there is an interesting story about Bill Sturdevant, he was plagued with extremely bad eyesight (strabismus) and he used the Silva Control Method during the 70′s to improve his vision , he started in 1978 and in 1981 he stopped wearing glasses and now he has 20/20 vision.
In the book he wrote:

Positive affirmations helped me a lot when I was correcting my eyesight. I had a whole sequence of affirmations I went through, at least three times a day every day, along with visualizations. I still repeat it occasionally.

Note: He was using affirmations at Level (Alpha/theta), at level affirmations DO really work!

Conclusion: You can very rapidly improve your eyesight by combining the three approaches or even using just one of them, the only thing that can hold you back is psychological reversal like secondary gains.
Psychological reversal is easy to handle once you know it is there, just use EFT to blast it!

Often people are stuck unable to progress toward their goals, it happens because they haven’t worked their weaknesses early enough, in fact working on the weaknesses and possible obstacles should be a priority.

Write down your goal:
I want _________________________________________________
Write the list of the things that prevent you to get what you want.

Do you have the skill necessary to achieve your goal ?
Do you have the discipline ?
Do you have the energy to work on it ?
Do you have all the information to do it ?
Do you fear success ?
Do you fear failure ?
Do you require to have the approval of your spouse, parents or loved ones to go ahead toward your goal ?

Imagine your goal is to open a store but you have a lot of worries about your accounting skill, if you go ahead without doing something for that, that will hold you back later on. Either go to an accounting class or consider hiring an accountant.
May be, you are afraid to fail and this belief is surely going to sabotage your effort, you had better to do something about it now rather than later because it will get a lot worse later on.

The need to have someone else approval is a huge block for many people, may be, you are a successful accountant, banker or programmer and then you want to start a new career as a stand-up comedian you talk to it to your spouse and dang ! big disapproval.
What are you going to do ? See, you will advance faster if you are free of the need for approval. Now, some people use “approval seeking” has a propulsion strategy this is the case for many stars in the show business.
You can read the Will Smith profile on this page, like many of his Hollywood he is an approval seeker.

I would not recommend anyone to copy such a strategy, we know the celebrities only on the outside but you see in the inside “approval seeking” is a source of strong inner insecurity. You see there is a reason why someone like Will Smith always play in the same type of movies, the same type of roles. He doesn’t want to risk losing approval by playing a role people aren’t too used to see him play.

You can work most of the psychological obstacles with EFT.

There is this exercise about Money block on the EFT website:

Find (or borrow) a banknote of a reasonably large denomination and simply place it in front of you on a desk or table. What springs to mind? What emotions do you feel when you look at it? When I’ve tested this procedure with people, it was most interesting to note what a variety of negative responses occurred. From, “I don’t believe this is mine”, via “I don’t deserve to have this”, to “There’s no point getting attatched to it, someone will just come and take it away anyhow” – a whole range of depressing, unhappy, and generally truly negative responses were present when you simply confronted an every day adult with a bank note.
This became even more pronounced when I picked up the note, held it out to the person and said loudly, “Here you go, (name), this is for you.” Not a single one of my “success coaching” clients could take the money without feeling seriously bad for a whole range of complicated reasons!
The format was just to keep tapping and testing each time by bringing out the bank note again until there was no negative response left and the person took the note happily, readily, and even with a smile in some cases.
If you are intending to do some “money work” by yourself or with friends, use the following as “triggers” (like the spider would be to the spider phobic) to find the aspects of the problem:
…single bank notes of various denominations…a pile of banknotes (boy that is a set of interesting aspects!)…a single large coin (this brings out childhood memories)…a pile of coins (this brings out childhood memories relating to savings)
Then, we can go on to clear other money related aspects by using some of the following in the same, straightforward way (which is always: trigger, test, tap, trigger, test):
…bank statements (serial spending and saving habits …payslips/wage packets (apart from career issues, this brings out family/father issues from childhood)…credit cards (imagine me laughing here – talk about negative emotions coming to the fore!)…credit card statements (which have different aspects to the actual plastic card)…building society books, share certificates, or any other paper representation of money that features large in the individual person’s life…bills and invoices (and especially the red variety
Financial limits are wonderfully explored by using a friend and both their chequebook and yours. Write each other cheques for ever increasing sums of money and hand them to each other. This can bring out not only the pain of accepting large sums of money, but conversely also the pain of letting go! “Money constipation” is just as damaging to a healthy financial system as is “money diarrhea” (where you don’t earn but keep on spending regardless), “money anorexia” (where you neither earn nor spend) or “money bulimia” (where you earn but spend immediately so there’s no noticeable gain at the end of the day).
Lastly (and this is a personal favourite of mine) we have what I call “potential money” such as lottery tickets, gambling slips and scratch cards. Entwined in these you will find issues around luck, deservability, and, most interesting of all, often a belief that “this is the ONLY HOPE I could possibly have to ever become really rich”.*
*A note: Tapping away negative feelings on lottery tickets does not turn someone into a compulsive gambler. On the contrary. It can actually help with compulsive gambling to dis-engage emotion from the trigger the lottery tickets (as well as game shows, horse races and so on) represent.

If you want to start a project and people around you strongly disapproved it. You can use an EFT setup like this:

Even though people have no clue about what I’m doing ….

If you do not know how to go about your project do a mind map of your project that will give several directions to look for more information. Would you like to write a book ? Then do a mind map you will have a global vision of your project from that point it will be easier to divide the project into small parts and tasks.

The whole point is to have clarity, the clearer it gets the easier it is to achieve your goals.

I found an interesting thing to do to weaken the power of a negative belief.

Write down a belief that is not serving you for your best interest.

Then go to Youtube, watch this (recommended!) or certainly this (oh my god) with your belief in mind.

As you laugh watching, the video if you do laugh, think of your belief and think, how it is ridiculous, as you laugh and you have all those good vibes, use this to create scenarios where you belief appears even as more ridiculous, funny and asinine.
Do you it as long as you can because it is helping you to weaken the intensity of the belief.

Once you are done with that, you can do a regular EFT session by then, the belief will be weak enough, you will not need much work, providing you do not have psychological reversal and a nest of aspects to that belief.
In any case, it is a good start to work on diminishing the influence of “negative” beliefs.

Many people waste considerable amount of time to improve their “social skill” yet they got little result with this. Having social skill isn’t that important if your energy is screw up, no matter, how good you are, people are reacting to your energy a lot more than to your social skill. It is important if you want to be good with “people” to interact with them when you have balanced and radiant energy system. Do the Donna Eden Energy routine I posted the other day and do this Chakra clearing exercise based on EFT. Those are very good routines.

In his EFT course called “The palace of possibilities” Gary Craig recommends to tap on the “tail enders” that people use with their affirmations. Often affirmations are nullified because they got tail ended by another contrary affirmation.

Example:

• “I’m in good health … but, I need to get my pills so I do not get sick”
• “I’m getting richer … but, abundance is not my birdright”
• “My weight is 130 pounds …but, I feel safer being fat”

This site has a list of about 100 tail enders related to money. Using EFT you can tap on any tail enders you find. If you use the affirmation “Each day I’m getting richer” and on the same time you have a strong feeling that it is not the true, explore that feeling until it leads you to the corresponding belief. If for example the belief is “money is the root of all evil” that most people in Europe seem to have then tap on that.

The EFT set up phrase will be:

Even though -limiting belief – , I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though money is the root of all evil , I deeply and completely accept myself.

If you think you have reversal experiment with:

Even though I might not believe that I’m getting richer, I deeply love and completely accept myself.

If your tail enders aren’t still apparent to you, Gary Craig has a list of questions to help you find them.

If you get what you want what will be the consequence ?
In order to get what you want , what you will have to do ?
What do you really want ? What is the essence ?
What getting what you want remind you ?

Let suppose Joe is earning € 33,000 a year and he wants to earn € 100,000 a year. If he lives here and succeed to earn more, he will be in a higher tax bracket may be this is something he secretly does not want. This secret wish will impede his manifesting.
May be, Joe might believes that to earn more and he will have to work more, may be, he doesn’t want work more, the belief to work hard will impede his manifesting.
May be, wealth reminds Joe of upper class people doing cocaine at parties and he doesn’t want to be part of that, may be, Joe doesn’t believe in the privilege associated with wealth he believes he has to be treated equal like anyone else, that belief system will impede his manifesting.

May be, the essence of what Joe wants is a better and easier lifestyle but based on his belief system getting richer will create a lot more troubles and a more complex life, so no matter how good Joe is with visualization and affirmation, his belief system will not allow him to get the €100,000 a year revenue because an individual cannot be greater than his belief system.

Joe should focus on putting in himself the feeling of a better and easier lifestyle and use the affirmation in this way:

I’m getting wealthier in a easy and positive way.

He should also work the tail enders.

“The woman says, ‘if I had the right husband, I would be…’. And the man says, ‘if I had the right wife, I would be…’. But they never say, ‘when I become the right person, the right man or woman will be there’. That is working on yourself and getting to ‘know’ yourself. You need to ‘know’ your ‘self’, and be comfortable with your ‘self’.” ( Datre
)

Well, some guy was forced into that self-examinatory process, he broke up with his girlfriend with the help of a EFT Professional , he was able to comprehend , why he created that situation and he “healed” it with EFT.

You can read the full story on the Emofree website.

Excerpt:

Peter came to me two weeks after his girlfriend broke up with him. He felt angry and confused as to why she left as he thought that they would be together forever. He wasn’t eating or sleeping and was obsessed with getting her back. However, he wasn’t taking any responsibility for himself and his actions. We began tapping on.

I’m angry because she left me
I don’t understand why she’s gone
I was a perfect partner
I did nothing to attract his break-up
I appreciated her
It’s all her fault
It’s not down to me
She was perfectly happy
She said that she loved me

At this point I ask if the above statements are TRUE and he begins to break down, his anger quickly shifts in to sadness. I ask him to put his hand on his heart and focus on breathing in and out of the heart. Breathing in whilst counting to 5 and breathing out whilst counting to 5 (Heart math). This quickly brings his level of intensity down from 9 out of 10 to a 4 and the feeling is in his heart.

Part II disc Emotional Issues 1
The EFT Course Part II – Physical issues and addictive cravings review

Video 7: Toxins, Phobia and Persistence
Running time: 1 hour 19 minutes

This is disc is important for those who tried EFT and got no result out of it. The first study case in this disc is Todd, he went at a Gary Craig seminar because he had depression, sleeping disorder and eyes pain, he did got results with the eyes pain and the depression but nothing for the sleeping disorder, he apparently had ‘energy toxins’ that got in the way. Some energy toxins come from foods , Gary talks about one of his friend who had years of depression the problem ended when Gary’s friend eliminated something from her diet, no need of EFT tapping here.

Common Energy Toxins includes:

Wheat
Corn
Refined sugar
Caffeine
Coffee
Tobacco
Among others.

So if EFT doesn’t work at all for you, you might try to remove all the common energy toxins from your diet. This what did Todd he removed wheat, corn and refined sugar form his diet and since then he has been able to make some progress with EFT in the follow up seminar he said that he sleeps much better. So when you remove energy toxins from your diet, there is no more block for EFT, you can work easily.

This disc shows how ‘muscles testing’ is done, helpful to find out if a person has psychological and or massive reversal issue. People with reversal issue usually sabotage themselves in many levels when they tap for ‘I want to be healthy’ they are really tapping ‘I don’t want to be healthy’, the body doesn’t get out of reversal at once thus the importance to really be persistent, keep track of what you are doing and get outside support if necessary.
Obliviously as Todd says people with reversal are more likely to drop out from whatever they are doing.
There is also a Q&A about energy toxins this is very interesting to know that if you remove something from your diet you will need 2 or 3 days to see the change has the body need it’s time to eliminate any residue.

The second study case is about a group of people suffering from snake phobias. The stuffs you learn in the session can really be applied to any type of phobia such as social phobias (the fear to approach or interact with strangers). It is interesting to see how the phobics react when they bring a snake in the room and how from there they refine the EFT tapping sequence. However it is not working for two of the people in the group, it goes as far as they have to leave the seminar room to continue the tapping outside the room with Gary assistant. These two had so many aspects they need a lot of work.
After the seminar Gary continued to work with the difficult cases. It appears that one the person has a lot toxicity (eggs, refined sugar), once removed she was able to make progress with a lot of persistence.I liked Video 7 from this disc, I think I will need more than one viewing to observe all the knowledge there. Good disc.

I worked with “Remove Your Blocks to success with EFT ” (19 euro – 29 U.S dollars) from Gwenn Bonnell, the product is a series of 12 mp3 files , seminar recording.
File 1 is the usual introduction about where EFT comes from , how the author got started with it, there is a story about entrepreneur who was feeling overwhelmed and as a consequence he could not move forward with his business.
This product is very for people like regular person with experience with EFT seeking practical solution.
I learned something from the product such as reframing fear with something that energize rather than blocking me , I like the group tapping on money and brilliance.
In fact, I tapped during the whole time I listened to after the sessions I had a period of emotional release I cried some and I found myself with added energy I did laundry and washing in the middle of the night.
I consider this product money well spent.

Ok, I’m going to work with the temporal tap technique and EFT again. I bought an instruction package from Gwenn Bonnell at http://www.tapintoheaven.com/

However, I don’t want to have any copyright issues with the people out there so I deleted the previous post about temporal tap. Just google “temporal tap” you are on your own now.

If the product works I will mention it worked but that will be all about it. I will also work with http://www.revolutioniz.com/rapidbeliefchange/

You should really read their free ebook at this point I prefer not to “quote” what they wrote but they discuss about interesting topic:

Such as why people don’t change
The stresss response associated with change

I read the ebook and I decided to try their system lately since I’m back from my travel I had a lot of stress doing my training program and integrating changes.
