> TJHi,
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?
