(Paperback)
IT IS IN YOUR HANDS is an introduction to a new psychological therapeutic method called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). It is a practical procedure to eliminate all negative emotions, including stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, past traumas, substance abuse, and all addictions. With EFT the user no longer has to go through months of expensive, and usually ineffective, conventional "talk therapies." In a matter of minutes, anyone can be free from any negative emotional or psychological difficulty that in the past has prevented him/her from reaching full potential, or from living a joyful, blissful life. EFT puts in your hands of the public the power to eliminate all negative emotions. It is simple, effective, and most importantly, it is free!
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Thought Field Therapies (TFT) access the body's energy meridian system to release the negative energy attached to a particular negative emotion.
The energy meridian system is a natural network of energy pathways circulating throughout the body. EFT uses the same principles of energy therapies, such as acupuncture, except that EFT does not require needles and it heals psychological problems, not just physical ones.
EFT/TFT is the outcome of a recent scientific discovery that found that the cause of negative emotions is not the memory of a traumatic event, but the negative energy entangled around the memory. This finding shows that by releasing this energy, the negative emotion is instantly eliminated. Thousands of people have reported relief from past traumas and negative feelings that had previously defied months of conventional treatment.
The reader only needs to learn aseries of meridian end points, how to use the hands to tap on these points for a few minutes, and the ability to concentrate and feel a particular negative emotion. It is that simple! IT IS IN YOUR HANDS is written in a simple style, with many practical exercises, case studies to treat specific negative emotions, and illustrations designed to gradually develop and apply the principles.

Reading ?It Is in Your Hands? was a very positive life problem ?solving experience. After trying psychological therapy (which did not work) for a traumatic life experience I decided to try the EFT and TFT therapies presented in a very simple language in this book and they worked!
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Thought Field Therapy (TFT) (similar to acupuncture but without the needles) can dissolve any negative energies and emotions originated by negative life experiences by simply tapping with the hands specific points of the body?s energy meridian system and by simultaneously concentrating and feeling with intensity the particular emotions one wants to eliminate. I believe this book can help anyone to be free from traumas and destructive emotions and to reach peace and tranquility as it did for me. I truly recommended this gem of a book.

April 11, 2008: An Excellent book! Concise, easy-to-follow illustrations and practical exercises. It was a revelation to discover that I no longer need an expensive therapist to get rid of most of my negative emotions. I have gone through several kinds of professional 'talk therapy' for years and the most I have accomplished is a way to 'manage' my stress. However, after applying the Emotional Freedom Technique discussed in the book for a few minutes, I was able to completely dissolve a chronic fear I had since childhood. This was a permanent cure since the fear has not returned since then. I have also applied EFT to completely eliminate job-related stress. I am becoming a more calm and relaxed individual and I am applying EFT daily to deal with any distressful event. For the first time I feel I can indeed eliminate my psychological patterns. I am applying EFT daily and I am becoming a happier, peaceful, individual. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in happiness.
