Sise and Bender lay out a series of simple exercises that allow people in distress to quickly feel major physical and psychological shifts by holding their bodies in certain ways while taking deep breaths. Their book is packed with real-life case histories of clients who were not helped by the forms of therapy, but for whom the authors' technique, energy-TAB, produced miraculous results.

“The Energy of Belief: Psychology's Power Tools to Focus Intention and Release Blocking Beliefs” [Paperback:] ISBN 978-1-60415-019-3
Sheila Sidney, Ph.D. Bender , Mary T. Sise
Remove your energetic blockages now! Your beliefs can change.
Bender and Sise combine the physiology and psychology of healing using simple, helpful techniques. These techniques will help the novice who is just stepping into bio energetics, as well as practitioners of EFT, TFT, acupuncture, massage and light work. Holistic care embraces energy healing and sees it as growing form of therapy. Why wait for western medicine when you can be taught techniques and applications that help. An increased number of professionals are now seeing the value of energy work. Self help is a billion dollar industry. More psychologists are embracing the natural healing powers of the body and the mind. This book gives you concrete ways to heal many issues. If compulsive thoughts consume you, this is a good book to start with. We sometimes don’t realize what a “funk” we are in until we look from outside in. this book uses an energy method called “TAB.” Touch and breathe—it is that simple. The chapters introduce how thoughts get trapped in our mind field. It acquaints you with how TAB helps. The authors do a great job of giving you step by step instructions with photos as a guide to help rid yourself of negativity and compulsions that are holding you back. I enjoyed that they discussed the impact of core beliefs and how you can have healthier beliefs. It is possible to create the life you want. Energy follows thought!
Creating inner peace and harmony is only the start for allowing the world to heal, one person at a time.
These authors have vision, and compassion to teach and share, and easily communicate ways to help you polish your self awareness. The self awareness test discusses safety, deservedness, blocking beliefs, unknowing beliefs as well as relationships with all of theses.
This book bridges the gap between the ambiguity of energy work and science. It allows you to create positive intentions by releasing those thoughts that hold you back. Intuition is the art of knowing- a concept many people are unsure of. The authors show you how to achieve this.
The book is filled with case stories, techniques, and concepts you will enjoy learning about and using. It will help advance your self help awareness if you are already experienced in this, by creating more focus. Lots of good ideas here. I enjoyed it.
I received a complimentary review copy.

First of all, we need to have a long talk about beliefs in our culture. Things are not true just because we want them to be, and they won't become true if I somehow find a way to "believe." I don't believe that water boils at 212 degrees, it just does. I don't believe that the earth travels around the sun, it does.
I could sing at the top of my lungs "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky," and then jump off the Empire State Building. There is a reality here, and that reality is called gravity... When my beliefs collide with the real world, the real world wins... every time. It's most tragic when we see it happen to children who tie on capes and jump off houses because they believe that their Superman. Reality doesn't care who you are. If you cross it, you lose.
The fact of the matter is, if you have to create a belief about something, you're doing so because you don't have any scientific evidence yet to prove that it's the case. In other words, you're taking a leap of faith, which is just a bigger belief.
While there's evidence that how we stand and sit and hold ourselves does affect our biology, and therefore our moods, there's no evidence that tapping ourselves will have much affect on that... unless you're doing it to annoy someone, and bingo... mission accomplished.
It's our willingness to believe that has made us so gullible, and that has made the self-unhelpful movement a billion dollar industry.

This beautiful book first clearly and gently guides the reader to understand the principles that determine our emotional state. But then it launches the reader into the next step—actually changing the negative beliefs that limit our lives with a powerful tool from the new field of Energy Psychology called the "Touch and Breathe" method. Developed by Dr. John Diepold Jr., this powerful technique combines mindfulness meditation-based practice with touching points on the meridians of energy that flow through the body for “emotional acupressure.” Case examples show the profound and long-lasting upward shifts in functioning that come from applying these simple principles. Step-by-step instructions and photos of models demonstrating the procedures guide the reader to be able to access information from their own energy system—a kind of “reading one’s own computer.” Then the reader is guided through a self-help process to reprogram one’s system for emotional health and wellness. This book is a gem!
