Preface to Second Edition
Since the release of Energy Tapping in 2000, the popularity of energy tapping (ET) has continued to grow worldwide. More therapists are including ET in their repertoire and these techniques are being taught by more and more educators every year. Research support is also growing as a National Institute of Health funded study found that energy psychology was an effective treatment for weight maintenance. This second edition is an update of the original material, with coverage on more topics including high blood pressure, allergies, immunity issues, eating disorders, and ways to sustain and enhance passion and romance. We believe that many people, including therapists and medical practitioners, will find these and the original chapters to be useful and even valuable.
It’s important to understand that the protocols covered here are not sacrosanct. Surely there are other tapping protocols that can be used to treat the conditions covered. However, we have found these protocols effective to a large extent, and that is the important claim we are making. Also, because you are a single individual, it’s possible that some protocols we’ve laid out will not work for you and other sequences may be needed. Please always keep this in mind and feel free to experiment to achieve what you are seeking. The important thing is to get results that enhance your health and happiness. Enjoy!

Understanding and Using Energy Psychology
Introduction
Your body has the ability to heal itself.
—Andrew Weil, MD
Energy Tapping is a unique book that will help you to learn how to use your body’s energy system to better manage your life. Although several different names can be used to identify this process, the term we use is energy psychology . This healing technique is based on the ancient Chinese art of acupuncture, although instead of using needles to stimulate a change in the way you think and feel, energy psychology uses a simple tapping method of two fingers on specific points of your body. Once you understand this process and the location of the meridian points (provided via the diagrams throughout this book), you will learn how you can cope with or eliminate problems that you have struggled with for years. As psychologists who have been trained in numerous techniques and strategies, we have found energy psychology to be the most effective and efficient process for creating rapid change and effectively treating emotional and/or psychological issues.
The Genesis of Energy Work
It is not clear when the development and use of energy work began, but legend has it that it was first discovered five thousand years ago in China. At that time, when wars were fought with knives and bows and arrows, a strange phenomenon occurred: Soldiers who received minor wounds in just the right places found that the physical pains and ailments that they had suffered with for years suddenly disappeared. It has been said that incidents such as these led the Chinese to discover the existence of an energy system that communicates energetic information throughout the human body. This energy system has been called chi (pronounced chee), and is also known as life force, ki, prana, and life energy.
Acupuncture
The discovery of the human energy system eventually led to the development of acupuncture, a procedure by which the body’s energy is altered by stimulating, with needles, specific points along twelve major pathways that are known as meridians . Each of the meridians passes through a specific organ of the body, such as the lungs, heart, or stomach. The entire system is interconnected so that the chi, or life energy, travels from one meridian to the next, circulating throughout the body. These meridians interact with a number of more concentrated energy fields called “chakras.”
In acupuncture treatments, needles are inserted into the body at selected tonification or stimulation points (to increase energy), or at selected sedation points (to decrease energy). Through trial and error, acupuncture has been developed and used by Chinese physicians to treat a wide variety of illnesses and to eliminate pain. Interestingly, several countries now use acupuncture as an alternative anesthesia during surgery.
Increasingly, more people in the United States are accepting acupuncture as a viable alternative health care treatment (although we think many people hesitate because they don’t like needles). The World Health Organization cited 104 conditions that can be treated by acupunctu
