I have the book "Instant Emotional Healing: Acupressure for the Emotions" by therapists, George Pratt and Peter Lambrou about tapping. This book has different tap formulas designed for various emotions or circumstances. I haven't used it very diligently in the past so never could make up my mind about how well it worked.
I just downloaded the Gary Craig version from online, however, which is very similar but appears simpler. I've also read the EFT materials on the Mercola.com site as well as have copied the chapter about it in Dr. Mercola's "No Grain Diet" book, which are simpler yet. He has a self-acceptance affirmation in there that I've liked, but again not used regularly.
Nothing will work well if you don't actually do it, but "not doing" is my major problem. I'm feeling game to give it more of a go now, though, so I'm wondering, where did you get the free CD?

> You are right....this is interesting and wondered if I can get in on the discussion. I am familiar with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and am wondering if it is similar. The basic info and CD were free (very nice) and permission is granted to copy and give away copies to 50 people, so don't beleive this to be a money scam in any way. Anyway, I have used the techique which basically is "tapping" on various appointed pressure points in sequence along with affirmations to dispell the false beliefs associated with physical or emotional pain. I have used it successfully on tooth pain and many times on emotional issues that I am obsessing over with no solution in sight. It seems to interrupt the negative cycle of thinking and at the end of a few mintues of cyclic "tapping on pressure points", I honestly can't remember what the problem was. I have not done the extensive "tapping" that many have gone on to that "gets to the sourse" as I have been sstisfied to relieve the immeidate anxiety. Any thoughts on this?
