Details of the Videos contained in the EFT Course
Part I--Video #1a: The Basic Recipe
This video is dedicated to teaching The Basic Recipe, the fundamental meridian tapping routine. Here you are shown, (with close camera shots) each of the tapping points. You are also given an easy way to remember this simple one minute procedure. Of great importance is the section where you can "follow along" with your own issue. Here you need only pick out your own issue and then tap along with us as you are guided step by step through the entire procedure.
Part I--Video #1b: Dave's Fear of Water
This video is an hour long session with Dave and his intense fear of water (for over 50 years). It is so intense that getting in a pool formerly caused him to panic with fear of his own death. With the application of EFT, however, none of this happens. Further, he ends up dunking himself underwater with no fear whatsoever and proceeds to take swimming lessons. This session should be studied in detail because it includes the gentle use of EFT and because it illustrates succinctly how aspects emerge and how to handle them. The procedures used in this session are fundamental to everything else you do with EFT. Please study them in detail.
Part I--Video #2a: Workshop Highlights
This video contains the most useful portions of an EFT workshop. The theory is explained in easy to understand terms (suitable for showing friends and clients) and then EFT is applied to several participants in groups. You will watch people tap in unison while each focuses on their particular phobia or physical pain. This how-to-do-EFT-for-groups instruction adds an important skill that will expand still further the student's abilities. Doing work in groups, while not always as efficient as one-on-one sessions, is often remarkably effective. It is a must skill for the serious student.
Part I--Video #2b: Case Histories
This video provides important insights in applying EFT across a wide variety of issues. While the EFT process is similar for every issue, not every person responds the same way. Some get immediate relief while others require persistence. Some are enthusiastic about it while others are skeptical. They ask different questions and pose different problems. This is where the "art of delivery" comes in. To assist you with these important insights, several filmed sessions walk you through such experiences as...
A ride through San Francisco in the back seat of a small car while Larry successfully taps for his life long fear of these driving conditions.
A trip to the golf course with my son Adam who knocks 14 strokes off his golf score.
A full session with a lady who could not lift her arm because of a previous accident.
The complete cessation of Pam's chocolate craving that ended up breaking her chocolate addiction.
Becci going from sweaty palms while just thinking about a rat to calmly putting her finger in a rat cage while the rat nibbles on her fingers. She says, "I don't believe I'm doing this. I AM doing this."
Veronica's relief from a childhood rape by her father. This happened in moments in a brief EFT session and has had long term effects. An important follow-up occurs via a phone conversation.
Norma's complete disappearance of her dyslexia. Please note her disbelief about what happened even though she reads fluently on camera for the first time that she can remember. She later gets a new job that requires her to read out loud to people.
Part I--Video #3: "6 Days at the VA"
Besides being one of the most memorable examples of emotional healing you will ever see, this video develops a major tool for delivering EFT for trauma relief--namely--the "Narrate the Movie Technique." Nowhere will you find this vital procedure as thoroughly displayed as you will on this video. It is a must tool for every serious EFT practitioner.
Simply put, this procedure asks the client to narrate a specific traumatic event as though it were a movie. Then, whenever the client begins to generate intensity over the specific happenings, the process is stopped and EFT is applied to the intense emotion. To give you the best look possible at the important details of this technique, it is applied to three of our veterans for widely different traumatic incidences (war memories). In later sections of this course, we emphasize the value of "being specific when possible." This is vital, especially for the newcomer. The "Narrate the Movie Technique" has built within it an automatic mechanism for being specific--very important. This one technique will create quality results where one might otherwise stub their toe.
In addition to witnessing trauma relief for many intense memories (seeing decapitated bodies, having to shoot a 5 year old child, shooting and burying innocent citizens), you will also get insights into relief for a height phobia, social phobia, grief, headaches, insomnia and many other Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) related ailments.
This video is also frequently shown to professional audiences as a means of displaying the power of these procedures.
Part II--Video #1: Overview
This video serves as a transition into Part II, which displays for you several complete sessions and many useful refinements to expand your abilities. First, a summary discussion on what has been explored and important concepts that have been established so far will occur. Then, the presenters will set the stage for where the course will be going.
After that, a procedural chart that gives you an easy to use framework for delivering EFT will be covered. Understanding this chart (easy to do) will give you a track to run on for addressing the vast majority of the issues you and your clients will face. Two other tapping routines that are mentioned in the EFT manual are also described in detail--the Collarbone Breathing Exercise and the Floor to Ceiling Eyeroll.
The rest of these videos contain the most useful educational parts of two 3 day seminars wherein the fine points of EFT are explored.
Part II--Video #2: Audience Examples
This video starts at the beginning of those seminars and explores a wide variety of issues...both emotional and physical...and lends an invaluable perspective to people's actual experiences with EFT. We discuss issues such as the fear of public speaking, agoraphobia, anxiety, migraine headaches, physical pain, fear of flying, depression, fibromyalgia and high blood pressure.
We bring two people on stage with headaches and provide complete relief in each case. One was easy to do, a "one minute wonder," while the other one took some persistence. The contrast involved--and the different approaches--are important illustrations for the student.
Connie M. also comes up with chronic back pain. The first thing we need to deal with, however, is her anxiety for being in front of the audience. This becomes a "two for one" demonstration. First, you will watch her posture shift into relaxation as we tap for "this anxiety." It takes a few rounds but she is soon ready to proceed. Using EFT for her back pain also took some persistence and you will watch the gentle manner in which we test the result. As she looks for the pain she says, "Well, I can't seem to find it."
There is also a discussion from the stage of the Discovery Statement and some important demonstrations of Psychological Reversal (PR). These latter demonstrations are critically important for you to study. They provide tangible evidence of the PR phenomenon.
Part II--Video #3: Emotional Issues I
On this video you will witness 3 complete sessions using EFT for emotional issues. The first is with Jason who works with anger and betrayal as a result of his wife leaving him and issuing a restraining order that prohibited him from seeing his daughter. This session is particularly educational because of the many aspects that arise.
The second session is with Veronica. You will recognize her as the lady who used EFT for being raped by her father in Part I--Video #2b. She appears here, 3 or 4 months later, and still has no emotional problems with that specific issue. This is clear evidence of the lasting nature of the EFT results. On this video, she works on an entirely different issue. She has intense emotions about being abandoned, alone and not being loved as a small child. Our session with EFT eliminates the problem and she comes back the next day to report that she feels "light as a feather." There are tears here and a difficulty speaking. How that is handled provides an important illustration for the student.
The third session is with Sandhya who works through her emotions regarding the experiences her father had during the World War II Holocaust.
Part II--Video #4: Emotional Issues II
There are two complete sessions on this video.
In the first session, Marlys uses EFT to get over "love pain" ...an obsession over the loss of romantic relationships. As the EFT session unfolds, several aspects show up and then shift in a daisy chain fashion from one to the next...to the next...to the next..... It eventually evolves into the fact that her mother didn't love her and, after using EFT, she laughs about it. This session is an important study in discerning aspects and is a vital aid in your education. The lessons learned here will enhance your success for many of those that you help.
In the second session, Kathy has three issues: (1) a fear of being touched (hugged), (2) a traumatic incident where her mother threw boiling water on her and (3) a sore shoulder which is related to her having to fend off beatings. As it turns out, all three of these issues are related and you will watch each of them subside in about 30 minutes. Particularly touching is her ability to hug not only me but many members of the audience. This is a quality session to show friends and clients who may be skeptical about these procedures.
Part II--Video #5: Physical Issues
There are four complete sessions on this video.
First, Connie J. has tightness in her jaw that comes from clenching her teeth at night. The clenching is so severe that she has to wear a bite plate at night to protect her teeth. With EFT, she achieves complete freedom from this problem in minutes even though it has been with her for 2 or 3 years. She also had a headache which she eliminated on her own using EFT.
Second, Patricia came on stage with an episode of asthma from which she had suffered for over 10 years. She gets dramatic relief with EFT and reports that it is still gone the next morning. She also experiences major relief from a back problem even though she has herniated discs.
Third, Dorothy came on stage with an irregular heartbeat which is an ailment for which EFT had never been used. Since we try it on everything (an important phrase from The EFT Course), we applied EFT to it with excellent results (verified by her physician who was present at the time.)
Finally, Connie M. uses EFT for her neck pain which, according to her, came about because of emotional issues. She gets complete relief.
Part II--Video #6: Addictive Cravings
This session starts with two ladies who run an eating disorder clinic. The concepts in this conversation lead into the causes behind all addictive behaviors...including eating disorders. Then follows...
1. An important discussion of the causes of addictions wherein we develop the important concept that addictive behaviors are ways to temporarily tranquilize unresolved emotional feelings. This is the foundational idea behind EFT's ability to address an addiction at its true cause. This discussion is a "must see" for those serious about getting beyond addictions.
2. An entire session where EFT is used on a group of people to overcome the immediate cravings for chocolate, cigarettes and alcohol. This will give you an opportunity to see a wide variety of reactions to this process--an important addition to your education.
Part II--Video #7: Energy toxins, phobias and persistence
This important video emphasizes the importance of energy toxins and the value of persistence when using EFT.
The first part is an interview with Todd who gets nowhere during the seminar because energy toxins are in his way. He then comes back; a month later, to tell the members of another seminar about the dramatic effect a change in his diet had been in his sleep disorder, eye pain and depression.
Next is an unusual session where several people experience improvement on their snake phobias. However, even though the improvements are dramatic by conventional standards, they are considered slow and relatively ineffective by EFT standards. This, as you will see, is due to energy toxins within the room. Persistence is required to generate relief for most of these people. From time to time, this sort of thing will happen to you as you use EFT. Having seen this session, and observing how the problem is handled, will be a clear help when it is "your turn" to have this experience.
Finally, we show the value of persistence in a session with Grace who was beset with intense depression and many other issues.
Part II--Video #8: Common Problems and Q&A
Finally, this is a catchall video that explains EFT's use in sports (golf), business, public speaking, procrastination, self image and relationships.
Audio Sessions
There are four hours of audios in The EFT Course which provide an important resource for gaining understanding into (1) how people react to EFT and (2) the wide variety of problems it can address. Please note that these sessions were all conducted over the telephone. Telephone work is a fascinating feature of these procedures. Those who master it can help people all over the world. Geography would no longer be a barrier.
