When he wrote poems, he felt as free as the Passaic River as it rushed to the falls. Willie's notebooks filled up, one after another. Willie's words gave him freedom and peace, but he also knew he needed to earn a living. So he went off to medical school and became a doctor -- one of the busiest men in town Yet he never stopped writing poetry. In this picture book biography of William Carlos Williams, Jen Bryant's engaging prose and Melissa Sweet's stunning mixed-media illustrations celebrate the amazing man who found a way to earn a living and to honor his calling to be a poet.

Simple, Straightforward and Concise - Ideal for Beginners!
Format: Kindle
Written by Sophie Merle, The Book of Tapping: Emotional Acupressure with EFT is a short, concise and simple but straightforward guide to Tapping. What I liked best about this book is that - it is very easy to understand, making it possible for anyone and everyone to explore EFT. Since this is a very short book, I understand that not much is covered, just the basics predominantly, but if you are looking for an introduction to EFT Tapping and uncomplicated explanations and ideas, this is a book you can check out! **I was offered an eARC by Healing Arts Press through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

An excellent basic text for anyone interested in learning the EFT system.
Format: Paperback
Over the years I have read a several books on the healing art of tapping and I must say this 106 page soft cover volume (The book of Tapping: Emotional acupressure with EFT by Sophie Merle) is one of the best I have read lately. The step-by-step lessons are easy to follow and everything is explained in a clear and concise way. This book is organized into ten sections covering the following material: EFT: an energetic technique for health and material abundance, the EFT protocol, working with EFT, a collection of painful statements, the body’s meridians and their emotional function, the various ways EFT can be applied, EFT and the realization of goals, group sessions, two EFT variations and a conclusion. If you are seeking a good basic introduction to the EFT system you may want to check out this excellent book. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Chair/Seated Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga stretching for seniors and the physically challenged).

The Book of Tapping by Sophie Merle is a free ...
Format: Paperback
The Book of Tapping by Sophie Merle is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in early February. The Book of Tapping discusses the use of EFT on the face, upper torso, and hands to loosen energy blockages along different meridians of the body and to relieve emotional stress in addition to physical ailments. There is mention of case studies, self-assessment techniques, a map of meridians, and glossary of EFT-related institutions and practitioners, but it's loosely held together by little else.
