Has there been much in here about 'tapping'? Its showing up in my facebook suggestions recently. I checked out his page. And this is the latest one...
FREE world summit. You sign up for 10 days tutorial.
It says 'science has proven...' etc, but no citations.

Thoughts? Anyone ever checked these Free summits out, apparently there have been 6 of them!
 
Ahem.

You see there's a reason why experts like Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Dr. Lissa Rankin, Jack Canfield, Kris Carr, Bob Proctor, Cheryl Richardson, Bruce Lipton, Joe Vitale, Dr. Joseph Mercola and so many others have come out in support of Tapping...and it's a simple reason, because it works. These experts aren't just casually saying they think it's "ok"... they're saying that they use and fully endorse it as a powerful tool for creating the life you want.

With experts from Dyer to Mercola, how can it not be the Most Wonderful Advance in Medical Technology since Dianetics?

Whatsamatter guys? Have you given up on THE SECRET?

Yeah, I recognised a few of the names. I was mainly surprised how much Ive been seeing it recently, as an ad, and then in suggested pages. And tonight...one person on my friend list had shared the link.
With the 'FREE world summit' in two days, I wondered if anyone had ever checked it out, or there had been a previous discussion on tapping, searching the forum doesnt seem to be my forte.

Your post was the first I had heard of it. Whether or not someone has heard about it probably depends on the company one keeps. ;)

Did you read the wiki about it?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Freedom_Techniques
 
I did read it.
"A Delphi poll of an expert panel of psychologists rated EFT on a scale describing how discredited EFT has been in the field of psychology. On average, this panel found EFT had a score of 3.8 on a scale from 1.0 to 5.0, with 3.0 meaning "possibly discredited" and a 4.0 meaning "probably discredited."[6] A book examining pseudoscientific practices in psychology characterized EFT as one of a number of "fringe psychotherapeutic practices,"[7] and a psychiatry handbook states EFT has "all the hallmarks of pseudoscience."[8]"

So hoping someone popped up who had actually tried it, or bought into it etc.
(And learned the error of their ways, of course)
 
This is still around?
I saw it demonstrated once in the '90's. Tapping was considered the newest and bestest therapy back in the day.
I had no idea people were still running with it.
 
It seems they have a world summit every year, 6 years in a row,m and it seems to be appearing in suggested ads all over the place recently, so someones running with it, or trying to make it a 'new' trend.
 
What exactly is it? Can't believe I'm so out of touch with the New Age. Used to be up on all these things. Not that this is a bad thing. But this is the first I've heard of tapping.

Reminds me of the 1980s when AIDS patients were supposed to tap the thymus gland region to stimulate their T cells.
 
Ugh. I had a run-in with that back in the 90s, when my son's counseler wanted to treat his autistic spectrum disorder with tapping/bodytalk. When I refused it, she called CPS to accuse me of neglecting his health. It just got worse from there.
 
Oh yeah. Tapping and EFT`s.
.
How come nobody here explained in their own words what it is?
.
WhatEVER it is, does this put Dyer into the class of charlatans and promoters of woo?
And if he believes and promotes say 3.8 rated nonsense, then has he always been some fringe doctor in his field?
PBS features him. You`d think PBS would drop him if this is something bogus(whatever it is).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_Freedom_Techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFTs) are a form of counseling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy.

...The available evidence from studies done on EFT have shown that while there may be small effects from use of this technique, they are likely due to well recognized conventional psychological techniques often used with the tapping, rather than the purported "energy" mechanisms. EFT is generally characterized as pseudoscience and has not garnered significant support in clinical psychology.

...According to the EFT manual, the procedure consists of the participant rating the emotional intensity of their reaction on a Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) (a Likert scale for subjective measures of distress, calibrated 0-10) then repeating an orienting affirmation while rubbing or tapping specific points on the body. Some practitioners incorporate eye movements or other tasks. The emotional intensity is then rescored and repeated until no changes are noted in the emotional intensity.

I tend to agree with the part I bolded. I can see how people might be able to heal from emotional trauma or learn new financial habits or even make lifestyle changes in diet and exercise with this type of therapy and why it might have caught on.

But on the World Summit page they are claiming that healing can happen in any area - financial, emotional, or physical, and that tapping has been "scientifically proven" to "rewire the brain." I hope they aren't trying to apply it to people with an actual physical disease like cancer where a change in habits and attitude isn't going to result in healing. :(

Wayne Dyer has been a promoter of woo for a long time now. He's been a fan of Jerry and Esther Hicks for a long while, who channel material (Abraham) on The Law of Attraction, or how to create your own reality. Like The Secret. No, he didn't start out on the New Age fringe. He was mostly about psychology in the beginning. I noticed over the years that he adopted more and more magical thinking. Of course, I used to believe that way, too.
