Basketball Performance

"I met with the team for a single two-hour session.
At that time their record was 5 games below the 500 mark.
Historically, the girls team has struggled, usually winning
anywhere from 3 to 5 games in the year.
We talked about the main problems with the team members and
the coaching staff, and came up with the following "hit"
list of special problems that team members faced:
Poor free throw shooting
Poor jump throw shooting
Poor use of the clock
Losing focus and concentration
Poor passing
Fear of making mistakes
Consistently playing below ability level
Easily intimidated by the other team
Easily affected by crowd noise.
We then applied EFT to each of these specific problems and
to the issues which individually surfaced for different
team members. I also found that the team as a whole really
enjoyed doing EFT together "as a team".
Again, we kept track of the statistics in terms of the team's
free throw percentage before EFT tapping and after they had
been using EFT.
Overall, the team has improved 87% in free throw shooting
percentage since they started using EFT. Before they were
making a dismal 40 out of 100 as a team. Since applying
EFT the team has played 8 games and in that 8 games they
skyrocketed to a team average of 75 out of 100.
Overall shooting averages for the 8 games previous to using
EFT was 37 out of a 100. Shooting percentages since the EFT
session is now 54 out of 100. That's a 46% improvement.
Most telling, their record in the last 8 games is 6 wins
with only 2 losses. One of the losses was by 3 points to
a team ranked in the top five in the State of Minnesota.
Earlier in the year, they were blown out by over 30 points.
Both the coaching staff and the players attribute the
improvement in their performance to the addition of EFT into
their training procedures. I am convinced that EFT has a
significant place in training individual athletes and
teams so that they can maximize their physical abilities
and play with greater stamina, speed, strength, and coordination.

"I am very sensitive to insect bites, but somehow
I didn't know when the bugs were landing on me until they
had already bitten me. I blow up like a balloon with
any kind of insect bite and I had so many over the summer
that I had to stay indoors most of the time, very difficult
because I am an avid gardner. When I used EFT for my
"sensitivity to bug bites", after doing it only once,
I was now for the first time able to know when bugs had
landed on me and swish them away before they bit me.
This cleared up my problem. I didn't wake up in the
morning covered with bites anymore and this changed my
summer completely. I have not had a problem with
bug bites since then and it has been a year."
"My nephew was afraid of spiders to the point
where he would run from the room if he saw one --
unusual for a 11 year old. We used a round of EFT
focussing on his fear of spiders, and at the end of
the tapping he was no longer afraid. I found him
playing with a spider web later that day, no fear
at all, and he hasn't had that fear since
(it's been almost a year)."
"My husband and I both had an unrecognized sugar
addiction which we experienced as irresistable
sugar cravings. Because we'd heard that EFT can be used
to reduce addictive cravings, we decided to try it for this,
although we doubted it would do much good. We both
used the method at least once for "these sugar cravings",
actually I think I used it a couple of times because I
wanted to make sure it worked. The results were so
marvelous we could scarely believe it. I lost 15 pounds
over a six month period after that without really consciously
changing anything. I simply wasn't at the mercy of my craving
anymore. We both still eat sugar, but we decide when we really
want it and how much we really need, we don't feel we HAVE
to have it or go wild."
EFT has done many more wonderful things for our family,
and life keeps getting better and better. If I could,
I would recommend the method to everyone I see."

Severly Emotionally Disturbed Children
"...Examples are always best to make a point: Teddy was
a cute 10 year old with big brown eyes. He was also
agitated, angry, and repeatedly and loudly cursed everyone
around him. But he followed my lead as we tapped the EFT
points several times (he had seen EFT used before).
After we finished I asked "So how upset are
you now?" In response, this child, who had wreaked
havoc on the unit for over two days to the point
where he had had to be isoated for the safety of
others, quite simply put his hands together
in the prayer position and quietly smiled at me.
He had not said a word throughout the entire EFT process
-- but the change in his appearance was remarkable. Here
was a very different Teddy "Wow!"
I said, "Cool stuff. This works really good for you."
He nodded, still smiling, and then, to my sursprise, asked to
go back to school. We walked over to his home room where
he then completed his school day showing no signs of the
problem behavior of the last three days...EFT is an amazing,
powerful and simple tool that parents and professionals
working with children should have in their toolbox. It is
a self help skill that every child can easily learn
and use to control his or her own emotions. It adds a
whole new level to the term 'self empowerment.'"

"...After discovering the value of EFT in my own trauma
relief practice (more than six years ago), I have trained
literally thousands of therapists and lay persons in this
method, people who ranged in age from three to eight-five.
I have been astounded at the consistency of excellent,
and even "miraculous" outcomes that we have achieved.
During these past few years, I have seen EFT eagerly
embraced by quite a few Navajo therapists and mental
health professionals working on the reservation,
and I think it has impressive potential for helping
Native Americans and other disadvanataged groups
overcome the effects of severe multiple traumas. I am
particularly eager to see EFT more widely
used in such groups."

"...After learning it, pretty soon, some of the roughest,
toughest guys on parole or other sentences were experiencing
hugh shifts and feeling the power of this tool (EFT),
suddenly seeing where life could lead them. Many of
them suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(stemming from severe abuse during childhood) and were
experiencing alcoholism or drug addiction, or had been
diagnosed with a variety of mental disorders, such as
personality and general anxiety disorders. For
the first time in their lives these people seemed to
find more purpose and meaning because now they were
able to change their negative behavior patterns.
Since then, the majority have turned their lives
around, found employment, become involved in their
communities doing good work, or taken on further education
about which they are enthusiastic. EFT has been a
major factor in their recovery."

"...I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 40 years as a psychiatrist and
child/adolescent psychiatrist. In discovering EFT in 1998, I found it invaluable
for patients and one of the most effective and rapid techniques I have
learned in time. The high frequency with which it assists individuals to reduce
distressing symptoms is most remarkable. It is understandable that less
informed critics state that it appears " too good to be true",
but it is both true and good, nonetheless.
Future research, I am sure, will document its wide application to
many different emotional, and some physical, problems. I know of
no other technique that is so self-empowering and contributing to
hope and optimism for many suffering individuals."

"In helping someone in our
office with his shock and grief at the loss of a prematurely born twin I led him through
two rounds of EFT over the telephone and his stress level (on a 0 to 10 point scale of distress)
went down from a "10+" to a "1". He was ecstatic how much better he felt after 20 minutes."
