I have tried EFT and it is pretty good in that it is not about Self Esteem, it has nothing to do with Self Esteem. What it is about is Self Acceptance, so we can see the bad about ourselves and say it's okay I love and accept myself anyway. That gets rid of the feeling that we are not good enough, we need to change this or that before we are worthy. It is really having the compassion for our selves that we usually extend to others. We usually say poor them they have problems I'll help them, for our selves we say exactly the opposite. I have this problem I shouldn't have this problem I should be better than that, what is wrong with me anyway! But Self Acceptance we treat our selves better and say yes I may have a problem but I love and accept myself just for being. EFT is ultimately about accepting and loving ourselves just as we are UNCONDITIONALLY so that as we accept ourselves we clear any emotional road blocks to worthiness feelings that are essential to achieving our goals.

I know that the conductor of the choir, where I sing, uses EFT before concerts, he uses it against stage fright. He says that it works. I used it some years ago, in some cases it helped me, but what I do not like so much about eft is that you have to be very precise about the thing that troubles you. Some troubles have psychological/emotional backgroung or some bad experience from the past, so you have to figure it out, what might be the real cause of your trouble. But, probably I just tried eft for too complicated things and I did not use it to the full extension. I tend to give up if I do not see the results quickly. But people say that you should use EFT for anything. Try and you shall see. Try it for different things and be open-minded, you never know when some doors of relief open for you. :)

I've been using eft most everyday to program myself for positive results im my experiences. What I like most is it's a portable method to change your state. Once you become comfortable with a way that works for you.You really don't need anyone or anything to do it except belief and knowledge. You can do it in a coutroom, bus or under the table on your hand at dinner with the relatives to relieve stress, fear or whatever.

I have been studying EFT and using it for about 1.5 years. I have not had success with it relieving my pain, but I have had success with using it for directly emotional issues, fears, obsessive thoughts, as well as impeteigo, coughing, sore throats and sniffles were stopped before they turned into anything. With the impeteigo, I was able to prevent it from establishing when I felt is comming on. I read a book, Healing Back Pain by Dr. John E. Sarno. It is about more than just back pain, but I have developed a way to combine the techiques to address my situation. I did not find the EFT helpful for insomnia, but I came up with my own version of a combination of things that I have studied. I have been delving into this type of healing and trying to learn as much about it as I can. I find that the EFT has a very useful part in this whole scheme. Matrix reimprinting is another spin off of EFT. Well, not so much a spin off, as an advanced program. I am just starting to learn about it.
