Tapping Into Wealth: How Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Can Help You Clear the Path to Making More Money

by Margaret M. Lynch, Daylle Deanna Schwartz, Nick Ortner (Foreword)

Following in the footsteps of New York Times bestseller The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner, this book from renowned Tapping expert Margaret Lynch teaches us how to use Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) to clear the blocks to achieving greater wealth.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as Tapping, have become a popular tool for realizing personal goals. For many of us, increasing our wealth is one of our greatest ambitions, but also an area where we feel the most stuck because we have limiting fears and beliefs that sabotage our success. EFT uses the fingertips to tap on acupuncture points while emotionally tuning in to negative attitudes and past experiences, thereby clearing the inner blocks to attracting and managing wealth.

Tapping Into Wealth includes QR codes that link to video demonstrations of Tapping techniques. Discover how Tapping can help you release your old views of money and open the door to more wealth than you ever imagined.

By far one of the best, thorough, detailed personal tranformation book I have read. If you do everything she says, you will get what you ask for. I've seen direct results with this method from unexpected money, new connections, clients, and wild, clear ideas that seem to come out of the blue, and make you think, "why didnt I think of that before, duh!" It's deep, deep work. I can do better at it, I can give it more time, working on a concrete schedule so that it becomes more of a habit and not just when I need something or unblock.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I enjoy reading books about tapping. Tapping has made such a profound change in my life. Quite by change I ran into the book Tapping Into Wealth: How Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Can Help You Clear The Path to Making More Money by Margaret Lynch. It probably isn't a surprise that I would also be interested in making more money. Who isn't?

In the past I've listened to programs from the EFT World Summit on money and wealth, and I'll admit that although I heard them, I apparently wasn't really processing the information. Even with this book, I picked it up at the library and had to renew it twice because I left it sitting on my shelf without actually starting to read it.

The timing must finally be right because I started reading. About halfway through the book my 2014 World Tapping Summit CDs arrived in the mail. I pulled one out at random and it was Margaret Lynch talking about tapping to get rid of energetic blocks against money and wealth. Wow! Before reading the book I would have told you that I didn't have any real blocks about money and wealth. I would have been wrong, but that's what I would have told you.

One of the things I really like about the book is how approachable she makes this complex topic. There aren't fancy business or finance terms to deal with. There are practical questions that are, in my case, right on target and there are detailed tapping exercises to deal with the emotional responses dredged up via the questions.

Two of the chapter titles jumped right out of the Table of Contents. The first was "I don't Deserve More Money." I wanted to shout back "yes I do." Then, when I worked my way through the chapter I found out that I had a bunch of thoughts and feelings about worthiness and deserving that could be interfering with my ability to experience wealth and abundance. The other chapter title was I Refuse to Be Rich. Again, at first glance I was pretty sure this one would not pertain to me. From comments I remember from my parents, religious teachings, and media references, there were subconscious programs running about wealth and wealthy people that were not particularly attractive or compelling.

Because of the overwhelming successes I have experienced and witnessed with tapping, I have complete confidence that if I do the work, the tapping will be successful. Would you like to create more financial abundance in your life? Get the book and start tapping.

I've read a lot of books on wealth accumulation and how to invite more wealth into your life. Many of them are good. Few are excellent. This one was outstanding.

Every other book in this genre I have read to date gives vague, unhelpful information.

With or without the tapping scripts, this book was life-changing for me, because it helped me to break down the resistance that I have to concepts relating to the childhood money paradigm. Before starting, I believed that because I grew up solidly middle class, I shouldn't have any money blocks relating to my childhood. With the help of this book (the book, and not the tapping exercises!) I was able to identify that my childhood money paradigm related to how one has to leave their family behind in order to earn a lot of money. I wanted a family, and so I got stuck between being available to my family and trying to earn more money. In the end, neither was working out the way I had hoped.

I am so much clearer at this point about how to invite money into my realm, and I'm a lot more comfortable for having read this book. In fact, during the time I was reading my business went from struggling to booking clients!

Full disclosure: I skipped the EFT scripts. I'm familiar with EFT to begin with, but in this case I found the scripts a little clunky for my taste. I like to make up my own scripts, and so I did!

Not for me. I thought this'd talk at least a little bit about the science behind tapping, but it doesn't. It's about how to use tapping to clear money barriers. The book didn't set a tone of credibility, and I found myself struggling to believe this would work because of the tapping, and not the placebo effect some might have because they believe in it.

[Essie (Sarah) · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book that I’m embarrassed to have read for some reason, so giving it 5 stars is like 😳😳😳🫠Making money and wanting to make money has soooo much shame for me, even within the realm of reason. I honestly think a book like this is one I need. I’m so terrified of making money because I have this belief that wanting money at all makes me a bad person. And, you know what? This book addresses this thought process throughout. I feel ridiculous, and not because of tapping and meditation. I use these practices all the time and find them healing and useful. It’s just—money! It’s so silly. I’ve still got some work to do, but this read has been transformative.

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will not be for everyone.

If you’re someone who:
- struggles with imposter syndrome.
- wants to understand how to strengthen your money mindset.
- runs your own business and finds it difficult to set financial goals because of severe self-doubt and anxiety?

Then, this book is for you.
Okay, fine. That last might just be me.

It’s a great way to ground yourself, especially when thinking about money. Some of this stuff might read a bit ‘hoo-haa’ to you, but it was very soothing.

[Kimi Double-U · Rating 5 out of 5]

Much gratitude your way!

This review has been a long way in the making.
EFT is owning the advice, and digging out honest feelings, along with the history and emotions attached to them. It's raising these feelings to the light, accepting, examining and honouring their source, before releasing to get past them.... to rise above to the next level.
Margaret M. Lynch's fine book 'Tapping into Wealth' helps me with exactly that.🤦 Many thanks indeed!

[Rosey Hwang · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is not your average money mindset book! Margaret shares not only what could be holding you back but also how you can move past your limitations to increase your income and impact. This book is truly like no other I have come across before. I know I will be referring to it again and again.

Margaret M. Lynch's "Tapping Into Wealth" offers an insightful journey into understanding and overcoming the subconscious blocks that hinder financial success. This book explores the intricate relationship between our conscious desires and subconscious programming, shedding light on why so many people struggle with financial abundance despite their best efforts.

Key Insights from the Book

One of the most compelling insights from "Tapping Into Wealth" is the idea that everyone has individual blocks to creating and building wealth. For instance, a common subconscious block could be a fear of success, which might manifest as self-sabotage when opportunities for financial growth arise. Lynch explains that our subconscious mind runs programs that are immensely more powerful than our conscious thoughts. These subconscious programs often resist our conscious desires for wealth, creating an inner conflict that can be perplexing and frustrating. This conflict manifests in behaviors like procrastination, avoidance of goal-setting, and anxiety about asking for raises or increasing fees. Lynch aptly captures the puzzling nature of this phenomenon, leaving readers to reflect on their own financial behaviors and attitudes.

The book delves into the concept of the reptilian brain and its survival instincts, which are deeply rooted in our childhood experiences. As children, our primary focus is on being accepted and safe within our families. This instinct to survive and thrive drives us to seek safety, love, nurturing, and positive attention while avoiding criticism, danger, pain, and rejection. Lynch explains that children subconsciously vow to align with their family's paradigm, influencing their beliefs about money, success, and what is possible for "people like me." This vow, often unnoticed, shapes our financial behaviors and limitations. For example, if a child grew up in a family that constantly struggled with money, they might develop a belief that financial success is unattainable, leading to self-sabotaging behaviors in adulthood.

Personal Reflection

Reading 'Tapping Into Wealth' was a transformative experience. I found it enlightening to uncover the wealth blocks I hadn't been aware of. What's more, Lynch's guidance on using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or tapping, to remove these blocks is not just theoretical, but practical and empowering. EFT involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on the issue at hand, which can help to release emotional and energetic blocks. The exercises promise a tangible way to break free from subconscious limitations and achieve financial success.

A great book about how to use EFT to attract more wealth. I got a lot of aha-moments with this one but it took quite some time to finish it and let it all sink in. I will return to this book for sure.

Every chapter discusses a block and ends with an EFT session and a link to a video. The videos are great for those who are new to tapping and need some guidance but... to see the videos, you need to give your e-mailadres. And of course, once you give your emailadres, you are automatically subscribed to a newsletter with advertisements to follow a 'free' seminar, followed by a program you can sign up for. I know I know, it's a hype, they all do it... but being subscribed to all those emails which don't resonate with me because I don't belong to the target audience (mostly coaches) only clutters my inbox yet it's the only way to get the extras in the books. A bummer really, they might get some extra clients this way, but tend to lose high book ratings because of it (as I'm not the only one who doesn't like the funnel thing).

Anyway, I think 4 stars is still very generous. I would have given it a 5 if it wasn't for the subliminal sales-vibe.

[Fabrizio Poli · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this as part of my study on peak performance. One of the questions I was asking myself was why do we sometimes fail to achieve goals. The answer is because something is blocking us. Tapping is a great way to unblock the things that are stopping us from achieving our goals. This book offers a very practical approach, explains what is going on, and links to a series of very useful videos.

[Jean Oram]

This was an awesome book. I would do a little bit every morning and I had so many insights. I can see myself going through this book a second or third time or revisiting certain chapters and exercises.

[Jolie Adam · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think I got the gist of this book but I did pick it up over multiple periods spanning months and might've missed the key takeaway here. Rating based on the positive themes throughout the book and might have to revisit this later.

[Jody Calkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

I highly recommend this book! A must-read!

[Jemma TheTravelingBookLover · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got a copy from the library but this book was so informative and inspiring I ordered my own copy to fully dive into the tapping scripts and written exercises

[Leandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book so much that I worked with her and am now certified to teach this (and more - because if you're like me, you loved it, but when you were done you knew there was still more).

Amazing Book and Author. I bought the digital copy first but I liked it so much that ended up ordering the physical copy also.

3/5

Not a bad book, just not a lot for me here

[Carolyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rounding up from 3.75.
I can't speak to any noticeable results yet from the tapping, but I do think she brings up questions, and obstacles, to wealth that are worth uncovering.

[Ting Peterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a life changing book. I have always known on some level that I resisted money, whether it was self-sabotaging something potentially lucrative, or associating myself with the wrong people. But until I read through Margaret Lynch’s book several times, I did not gain the clarity that was necessary to make changes. Even as I practiced the exercises in her book, I still found myself repeatedly being extremely (and wrongly) negative and self-deprecating. Thoughts as, “you can’t do this, you’re so silly, stop stupid dreams and be practical, otherwise you’ll just be laughed at”, deeply seated disempowering admonishments from my childhood. Shocking what endures after 30+ years, sadly, not so much the good, but the painful memories etch a much more vivid image. Although I was a moderately successful CPA who never had to seek work as I was always in demand and had great flexibility in my work schedule and location (I never had to commute over 10 miles and could telecommute as I wanted). Still, the work was often a grind and tedious. And the thought that I would never make very much if I had to trade hours for money entered my mind frequently. I found myself nodding and saying “yes” as I read Margaret’s book. Then I had an epiphany, I hope I don’t sound too corny or nuts when I say that, but I realized that I wanted to create art, an endeavor I was passionate about before all the talks about “being practical so you can make a decent living”. I am still committed to CPA work this busy season, as I promised to help out a friend this year, but royalties, rave reviews, and win-win collaborations are all coming together, shortly after I published my first coloring book for adults, Exhale: Breathe, Color, Relax ... Dream. It didn’t just happen, it took lots of hard work, but because I am now “committed to taking inspired action” — one of Margaret’s mantras, good things are happening. I am retiring from accounting to pursue something I love, making far more money than toiling away at tedium. Do yourself a favor, buy this book, read it carefully, reread it, practice its principles, and become the great power you were meant to be.

I have long been a fan of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) aka "tapping" and I know that it is used by many practitioners for trauma and pain, but I never realized that it could be adapted for almost any issue which makes it a rather intriguing modality.

And on the subject of intriguing, I was rather curious about the use of tapping to clear money blocks so decided to purchase a copy of this book. It took me a while to work my way through the book as it is broken down into bite size chunks regarding all the possible issues surrounding money and there are exercises to complete in every chapter and a lot of tapping too! Additionally, the author has also created a video series to accompany the book which I found to be an additional bonus.

The author is clearly very passionate and committed to helping people and she has so much energy and enthusiasm and this is evident from both reading the book and watching her in action. If you do pick up a copy of this book you really do need not just to read it but to complete all the exercises and possibly more than once.

All in all I would recommend this book. This is an author who gives so much value. I was amazed at how much content there is in this book.

[Cj Sime · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hmmm. I still don't "get" tapping. I sort of understand the why but this book didn't bring me closer to the how and the finer details. I was really excited because the beginning chapter made it clear that there wasn't a right or wrong way to tap. However, there were several great questions that made me get a better understanding of myself and my personal beliefs.

[Linda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book rocks. I studied under Margaret and became a TIW coach. Working with clients I have learned that money is a metaphor for every area of your life. The exercises in this book are powerful, if you do them. Highly recommend for anyone, rich or poor, who want to transform their relationship with money.

[Bookish Enchantment (Katherine Quirke) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is clearly written for those who are new to EFT. I found it rather dull but I have been using EFT for some time. Do not discount it though if you are looking to create more financial abundance in your life and find EFT a little difficult to grasp or you are new to it.

[Amy]

Never finished it. Hope to get back to it eventually.

[Monica · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is an excellent introduction to EFT/tapping. My consciousness was awakened to beliefs I was unaware I had which limited my personal wealth. The results were immediate and on-going.
