A RECENT MOTHER'S STORY ABOUT THE CARTOON DVD
"I received the cartoon DVD & was able to watch the parents part of the video before I picked Josh up from school. At bedtime, I asked Josh if he wanted to watch a movie with me about the magic buttons bear.
We both got on the couch & I pulled up the movie. The story started & instantly he was enthralled! He always seems to "feel" what he sees really easy, so I think he was genuinely concerned for the dinosaur. He kept watching intently as Magic came over to help T-rex & T-rex was tapping on Magic. When it got to the underarm point, Josh started giggling! (He's SUPER ticklish!) He even grabbed his own underarm point as if to cover it up so he couldn't be tickled there!
Then he continued watching, sort of like he knew what was going to happen next, but I think he was a little taken back by the part where Magic said "Let's do it again." He had an expression on his face like he didn't see that one coming! He kept watching & as the story ended, Josh's mood was happy & content w/ the ending.
When Linda came on to the video, he really hadn't expected anything else beyond credits. As she was introducing herself & Magic & tapping at the same time she was talking, Josh just immediately started tapping right along! Even before she started telling about the magic buttons, where the buttons were or anything, he was tapping.
After having all the buttons introduced, Josh got up & went upstairs; I paused the movie. He came back down with his own bear cuddling it just like Linda had said when she said: "We can hug Magic". Josh then proceeded to follow along tapping on his bear while Linda was tapping on Magic even trying to keep up with the words. This is difficult for him because of his learning disabilities but he didn't seem discouraged or frustrated at all. He just kept tapping.
Once one or two issues had been addressed, Josh seemed satisfied so I called him back to watch & listen to the DVD. There were only about 2 minutes left. I repeated aloud some suggestions Linda made (ie: keep the bear in a safe place & that it's not like other toys).
When the movie was finished, I asked Josh if anything was upsetting him that he would like to tap on. He just sort of got quiet. I told him that I didn't have to know what it was. He could whisper in Magic's ear or he could think of it in his mind & Magic would know. He said there was something that was upsetting him & he took the bear up to his room to tap. A couple minutes went by & he came back down again. I didn't say anything because I wanted him to be free to speak, so I just watched & waited. He said "I don't know why I came back down.”
I asked him, “Do you want me to show you where to tap on Magic while you just think about what you need to & not tell me what it is?" He simply nodded yes. I said ok & he started tapping on the bear's head. I guided him to the karate chop point next with
"Even though I still feel this way, I'm still a good kid & Magic's a good bear."
We said that once on the karate chop point & Josh went straight to the eye points & started working his way around as he watched me. We just kept repeating this same phrase. Once we got to the under the nose point, he started telling me something funny that his teacher had said at school. I let him finish his little antidote. Then I asked "So, do you still feel that way?" (Referring to whatever it was he was tapping on because I still don't know). He stopped & looked up sort of quizzed & said "I think it gone away already." I said ok (trying not to giggle at his wording & facial expression!) & we got him ready for bed.
He invited me up to see his special place he had picked for Magic to be. Magic was leaning against the wall while sitting on the highest deck of a Rescue Heroes Aircraft Carrier that was up on a shelf. Josh then said "That's where he'll sit everyday, but at night-time, he's sleeping with me!" and he grabbed Magic down & got in the bed.
Thanks so much for this magical Cartoon DVD and for all your help!

Gary says: A Quality Idea -
Surrogate Tapping with Magic Buttons Bear
Hi Everyone,
Here's more glowing evidence of the value of surrogate EFT.
Linda Wood from the UK describes the many benefits of tapping
on a toy bear in behalf of ourselves or others. I know this sounds woo-woo to many ...
but you may as well get used to it. We have far too many of these reports on our
website to ignore this phenomenon. It is easily explainable in spiritual terms
(we are all connected) and through the findings of quantum physics.
Hugs, Gary

Hi Gary,
Over a year ago I had a Divine Inspiration to develop a tapping button bear.
The idea came to me seemingly out of nowhere and wouldn't leave me alone
until I'd acted upon it. I experimented with different ways of making a bear, ways
of sewing on buttons and different types of buttons until I'd come up with a bear
that I liked. I hand sewed several of these. However, I didn't know where to go
from there with this idea.
Magic Buttons is here to help spread the healing work of EFT to children.
Gary, recently I've been using Magic Buttons in my workshops for surrogate healing
with the most amazing success. Following are two different experiences.
1. Before the most recent workshop, I asked all my trainees to bring both a picture of
themselves and one of someone else that they'd like to send EFT healing to.
We first started with ourselves. Since so many people have a tough time getting
their head around surrogate healing/tapping, let alone working with a Teddy Bear,
I wanted them to actually FEEL and EXPERIENCE for themselves the benefits of this
most amazing way of using EFT.
I asked each of them to pick out a Magic Button Bear, lay the picture of themselves
over his tummy so as to help sharpen their focus and intention. I then had them do
an inventory of their own body to find a tension or pain, getting very specific with their
mental description and determine a level of intensity on a scale of 0 to 10.
Next, I led them through a little ritual to balance our energies, invite in our higher energies,
to also connect our higher energies to each other, and asked that this healing be sent to
wherever it's needed most and if there's any left over, for it to be taken to those who most
need it, wherever they might be. We then began tapping ON the Magic BEAR for our OWN
pains or tensions.
As we began our tapping set-ups and rounds, probably the most skeptical man in the group
began to become very fidgety and suddenly had a confused look on his face. As we all
continued to tap on our bears, I asked him if something was coming up.
He looked quitesurprised and said, "Well, yes, something is. It's an anxiety of some kind."
I then switched from using generic words, to using his words and did another round for
"this anxiety, I wonder what it is, etc." He began moving about even more and suddenly
said, "Wow, it's something to do with money."
We all continued tapping on our bears using his words until we had zeroed in on his issue
and reduced it. Along the way we had been checking with the others and they had all been
considerably reducing their numbers.
There was a look of awe on everyone's face not only
as they noticed their own changes, but also as they noticed what was going on with
this man with the money issues.
The results of this were most amazing, surprising and just as effective as if we'd been tapping
on ourselves. We had even included a couple rounds saying, "All this anxiety, all this money
stuff and all I'm doing is tapping on this silly stuffed bear.
I can't believe this is happening but I can feel it happening so I know it's real, etc."
After we'd brought everyone down to a zero and checked and tested, we then moved
on to tapping for someone else.
2. We brought out the pictures of our loved ones and began our rounds on them,
with the picture lying over Magic's tummy as we tapped directly on Magic Button Bear.
Again, magical things happened. One lady immediately tuned in to her surrogate person
and began to feel and express their emotions so we all began tapping for her as well and
using her words until we brought down the level of intensity.
We had no way of knowing what we'd done for the others that we'd tapped for, of course,
but had direct evidence that something unexplainable had definitely happened in both
exercises merely by tapping on Magic Buttons Bear.
Gary, my mission is to help people understand the power of Surrogate tapping and
hopefully Magic Buttons Bear will be vehicles to help spread the word of this most amazing
healing power of EFT.
There are so many more ways of using this powerful technique, including role playing.
Example: I've given a Magic Buttons Bear to a teacher to use at school for when her class is disruptive.
Pull out Magic, explain that he will show them where their own Magic Buttons are. Talk and have
them tap along and show them how they already feel better.
If the teacher pulls the bear out every time the class is disruptive, before long it will be like
Pavlov's dog, the kids will be mentally tapping at the mere sight of the Magic Button Bear.
She has just begun using this with very interesting results.
I'd like to get these to every teacher in every school in every country and show them how to use
them and in fact, to every child, every parent, etc. to help bring to the world the amazing healing
power of the vehicle of EFT even when you are tapping on an inanimate object.
Thank you, Gary for letting me share this exciting story with you and thank you for your dedication
to this most amazing Spiritual gift!
Very sincerely,
Linda Wood
