What a professional said about this book:

Dr. Flint's book is basically a guide to the use of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), the meridian based energy therapy developed by Gary Craig and Adrienne Fowlie. EFT is an exceptional healing technique that can easily be learned by the layman and by any healing practitioner. It is simple, effective, and fast and I have known the process to produce truly remarkable results.

Once you have this book, you can learn, with very little practice, the whole treatment sequence, which, once mastered, takes less than five minutes to do. Usually, after doing the method on an emotional issue, you will feel immediate change in (reduction, and often complete elimination of) the emotional pain connected to the issue.

The introduction:

This book will show you a simple five-step method that will let you heal most of your emotional issues and eliminate or control your physical pain. Naturally, there are exceptions. For the majority of people, though, the simple healing method described in this book will work.

This book shows how you can eliminate issues that get in the way of your leading a satisfying life. Using these techniques, many people can banish fear, guilt and pain from their existence. So can you.

As you will see, the technique, though detailed, basically lets you heal yourself by tapping on acupressure points. All you have to do is follow instructions. There is only one sequence of tapping points for all mental and physical issues. This eliminates the need for diagnosis and makes learning the method easy.

Hey! It's okay to have a healthy skepticism. This healing method works on skeptics, too. You don't have to understand it or even believe it. You can learn this healing method as an experiment, just to see if it works. If it works, it's a good deal. When experimenting, you should first learn the method and then start by using it with easy issues. With success, you'll become more confident that it works. It's like learning how to ride a bicycle before you ride to school. Each time you use this healing process successfully, it's like another successful experiment. Here's what you do when you do this healing method.

The basic healing method involves five steps. The first step is to identify the issue you want to become less painful. We're talking about anxiety, fear, sadness, and the like. In most cases, you'll just have to think about the issue, then, by repeating the healing method several times, you heal the issue. However, sometimes issues are more complex. When they are, you will have to look for other aspects

of the complex issue. (Aspects are other similar beliefs or traumas that help cause the issue.) The chapter on identifying the aspects of complex issues can be really important if your issues are truly complex. By healing all the aspects, you heal the issue.

The second step is a procedure in which you manage memories that get in the way of the healing process. This procedure requires you to rub on a sore spot on your chest while saying an affirmation. It's the rubbing that manages the memories. The affirmation is a self-empowering statement that increases your satisfaction in life. You do this three times.

The third step in the healing process involves tapping 5 or 6 times on each point of a sequence of twelve acupressure meridian points. As you tap on each point, you remind yourself about the issue with a phrase, such as "my anxiety." You do this to keep you thinking about the issue.

When you do the fourth step, you will repeatedly tap on an acupressure point on the back of your hand. While you tap, you'll move your eyes in different ways or you'll hum and count. You do this procedure because sometimes, when it isn't done, the emotions connected to an issue do not heal. This step is called the 9-Gamut, because you run the gamut with nine interventions - eye movements, hum, count - while you are tapping on the acupressure point.

The fifth step is to repeat the third step. That's easy. But what if the technique doesn't work?

Remember that most people, including you, probably won't have to deal with this problem. You'll probably have no difficulty in healing your issues. However, if you do run into problems, you'll know fairly quickly. The emotional intensity of each issue should diminish considerably and even disappear. When that change doesn't happen, all you have to do is look at the troubleshooting chapter. There you'll see how to troubleshoot, correct, and even remove any problem or barrier getting in the way of your healing process.
Here's how the book is laid out: The first chapter gives an overview of what can be healed, followed by a chapter giving a detailed overview of the book. This chapter is really a glossary of all the concepts used in the book. Most of the concepts discussed in the glossary are treated individually in a chapter. In the next five chapters you'll learn the healing method itself. Then an experimental procedure is presented to help the reader become confident with the healing method. Next are chapters on shortcuts and troubleshooting. Then there is a summary of the healing method with an example, followed by chapters dealing with beliefs and memories, addictions, and pain. For those who like flow charts, there is a complete flow chart. For those interested, there is a chapter that teaches the healing method to your subconscious - the Innerself. If this works, then the healing process is automated and can be used by simply asking. In the appendix are lists of issues and aspects to help you and reminder aids for the healing method.

Just remember: Following the five steps in this book could rid your life of mental and physical pain and keep them away. That's a big payback for investing a little time in a small book. I think you'll find the time well spent.

Clear explanationsTop

Clear explanations:
Tap firmly so you can hear the tap, but not so hard as to hurt yourself. With practice, the whole sequence takes only 7 to 12 seconds. Start slowly and carefully at first, so you locate the points correctly. Again, learn to tap with the index and middle fingers. It is easiest to learn to tap with both hands, but any variation with the left or right hand, or order of points still works.

	1. Eyebrow - While looking in a mirror, locate both spots at the beginning of the eyebrow and at the start of the bridge of the nose. Use both hands to tap on both sides. Be sure your spots are near the bridge of the nose. Tap 5 to 7 times on those spots
	2. Outer Eye - Locate the spot on the bone next to the outside corner of the eye. Make sure you tap on the spot adjacent to the corner of the eye. Tap 5 to 7 times on those spots on the bone with both hands.
