I tried this about two months ago. I stopped after about three weeks. You speak out load differnt affirmations while tapping on multiple area's of your body. It didn't do much for me, IMO you just need to be a very optimistic and determine individual to accomplish success with any venture or business you choose to be in.

this trader said it works for him so I guess its still up to each person to test it.

Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by a guy called Gary Craig. He paid 100k in order to get the course offered by dr Roger Callahan. R C discovered that when he used a certain type of acupressure (accupunture without needles) his patients would start releasing negative thoughts and get better.

Gary Craig paid the 100k took the course and developed the EFT. Basically it is based on tapping on certain points on the body that represents different energy points/organs. By tapping on the organs (energy points) and focusing on the issue we're experiencing we start to release what's accumulated in that part of our body and start to experience release from it.

Now does it work or not? YES a BIG yes. How do I know that? I know because I've tried it on many people including myself. How come it works?

I do not intend to get into a discussion about the body and it's energy system. But I would like to raise some question marks. Whenever we get a thought that is bad, what impact does that thought have on us and our body? Second, if every thought is part of our system, and if it's raised by us, after having it where does it go?

And if you think it disappears, how come you can suddenly find yourself going back in time 20 years triggered by a smell?


And how come you FEEL GOD when you have nice thoughts (and what is it that feels good), and you feel like shit when you have bad thoughts?


If you haven't figured out the answer yet. Just think of it and you'll .........

Wow, I am glad I ran into this thread.

I used EFT's for about 6 months or so and it made a big difference in my life. I had forgotten to do them!

I did a clearing on my wife (Cockroaches) and my mother (anxiety) and it was amazing.

For my mother I had to do it 3-4 times before it took effect. It was amazing, she slouched over her chair and started yawning instantly. (She hadn't slept through the night in months)

Her next comment was, "I have to go to bed, I am exhausted!".... For about 2 weeks she slept, slept some more and slept some more. I was worried about her!

For my wife, I just showed her a pic of a cockroach on the web. She freaked out and jumped around. By the time I was done (I think around 2-3 rounds) she was able to watch a youtube video of about 10,000 cockroaches crawling over a human body. She watched it with very little emotion.

Now, that has since worn off, but it does amazing things. You just have to be careful in finding the real reason why you are feeling 'bad'.

I need to start doing them again! They are brilliant.

very true

You are not doing them properly. I am about the biggest skeptic and if you ever get a chance, go to a presentation and really learn how to do them. Most people don't say or know how to pull the right things out.

@Melissa what has been your experience. I would be $100.00 they will rock your world if you do them properly. Most people just don't know how to really do them. I had to watch the videos (4 of them, about 6 hours and 2 manuals) a couple times to get it.
