Energy Medicine by Donna Eden

This book was my first introduction to the concept of using exercises and techniques to balance our own energy and therefore improve our physical and emotional well-being. Donna Eden explains the different energy systems including the chakras, meridians and the aura in a clear and concise way, and includes pages of examples of how to easily harmonise these energies ourselves. The techniques are simple to follow with clear diagrams. This is a book which I initially read from cover to cover to get a real feel for energy work, and now dip into whenever I need a boost to my health or well-being.

There are techniques in this book that are essential to the professional EFT practitioner, including the Cross Crawl and the Wayne Cook Posture. These techniques help ensure the energies are running correctly and their use can overcome massive Psychological Reversal within an EFT session.

I have recommended this book to many of my clients to help them continue with their energy work at home, so will recommend that you read this too! Whether you are fully conversant with EFT or a newcomer, 'Energy Medicine' will provide you with amazing insights into how your energies work and be a valuable energy toolbox to you.

Please note: this edition seems to be currently out of print in the UK, but by clicking on the Amazon link/book above you should still be able to order it new from the US or second hand within the UK. Also look out for Donna Eden's new book, 'The Energy Medicine Kit' due to be published in April 2005.

Energy Tapping: How to Rapidly Eliminate...

Review to follow...

Tapping the Healer Within by Roger Callahan

'Tapping the Healer Within' - When learning about EFT you may have been told that it was developed from another technique called TFT - Thought Field Therapy, founded in 1980 by the author of this book, Roger Callahan. Therefore it is part of every EFTer's essential study to read about the background to TFT as this in turn shaped the EFT we use today.

When you read this book you will see that TFT works with similar principles to EFT, but that algorithms, or specific sequences of tapping points are used, rather than following the full basic recipe every time as we do in EFT. 'Tapping the Healer Within' gives you many alogorithms that Callahan has developed for various emotions such as anxiety, phobias and guilt. It also charts the development of TFT from Callahan's first discoveries with a patient called Mary who overcame a life long water phobia by tapping one meridian point.

Other useful chapters include The Science Behind EFT and The Apex Problem which will also give insights into how EFT works.

Adventures in EFT by Silvia Hartmann

This book is widely recognised as one of the most important EFT texts available today. With a forward by Gary Craig, the founder of EFT you can be assured that this book contains an accurate and thorough account of the techniques starting with the basics but also including many creative ways to use EFT.

Silvia Hartmann, an EFT forerunner in the UK and founder of Emotrance, has packed a massive amount of her knowledge about EFT into this book and also her research into using the techniques effectively in a wide range of circumstances. Examples of detailed articles within the book include EFT & Giving Up Smoking, EFT & Weightloss and EFT & Money, plus many other subjects such as addictions, personal development, phobias and relationships. Silvia also discusses how to use EFT in conjunction with hypnosis, reiki and NLP.

There is a lot of information to take in from this book, which makes it extremely good value for money and suitable for both the EFT newcomer and the professional pracititioner. Those who are seriously interested in EFT may want to read 'The Advanced Patterns of EFT' also by Silvia Hartmann. The two can often be bought together through Amazon at a discount, and it is essential that you start with 'Adventures' before you go on to the second book.
