“Love this book! This book was well written and very easy for an adult or child to turn to an issue and follow along as they tap. One of the best books I have read lately. Every family should have one in their home. It has so many issues that are common for the average child. I didn’t get a chance to preview the book so I was thrilled when it arrived and it was so fantastic.”
–Paige M.
“Every parent should have this book handy… Your child is frustrated, upset and screaming or maybe he/she will not speak to you, is sullen and teary..tapping is this amazing tool that is calming and helping your child to deal with the emotions. Sue Busen’s guidance and direction is just what every adult, who cares for or has a child in their life, needs. “Tap into Joy” not only offers a detailed description of how to tap, but more importantly a clear and easy to understand process to follow and simple words, that address practically any situation, emotion or problem a child may face. This book should be by every parent’s bedside.”
–Elizabeth Solana Calabro
“I was moved by the book Tap into Joy. I am associate professor faculty of human studies Bunkyo Gakuin University. I am the supervisor for Integrated Camp, which Autistic, ADHD, Developmental disability and other children participate in. They have panicks sometime. I want to use EFT for children in all of Japan. But EFT is not popular in Japan. So I’d like to use your book and techniques because it is simple and they can understand. Thank you for your wonderful work.”
-Takayuki , Japan

Other Reviews of Tap into Joy On Amazon.com:
“I LOVE THIS BOOK. It is easy to understand and use. I am going to use the ideas and scripts in my practice. Love it.”
–Dr. John Benitez, Tampa, FL
“I like this book because it is easy to understand and easy to do. I mostly do it on myself, but have done it for, not with, my grandchild. He was very upset recently and I did not know why. He was not open to talking about it. So I did the tapping on myself, trying to guess what it was he was feeling. Well, when I was done, his face went from a frown to a big smile. One of my friends uses this technique with her grandson consistently and gets great results.”
–Lilia Kizlaitis
Great Parenting Tool
“The Tap Into Joy book is a great parenting tool. It’s laid out so that you can easily find direction, ideas and inspirations to help you AND your child become more calm, resilient and creative in working through life’s little traumas, all the way up to the big stuff. Maybe you won’t even encounter much big stuff if you take care of the little stuff while it’s still little! The book covers everything you can think of in a child’s life, and gives a step-by-step application and script, so it’s foolproof. Susan Jeffrey Busen does a fine job of taking the guesswork out of delivering the great, holistic tapping tool known as EFT to your loved ones. And this is a truly inspired baby gift to new parents, too!”
–Jondi Whitis , Norwalk, CT
EFT for Children
“I purchased this book for my grandson and had marvelous results with it. He is 8 years old and loved it. Now anytime he has an issue he thinks he would like to work on, he gets his book and we sit and go through this very simple process and I love seeing his fears disappear right before me.“
–Lynn Hayes West , Texas
Hands On
“Sue Busen has composed a really handy collection of EFT Tapping sequences. The introduction to the Book, is a clear and succinct explanation about EFT. So often the real hangup in the whole EFT application is the “what do I say”. Sue, with this Book, has laid out the path for very clear and direct issue identification and an appropriate corresponding tapping sequence.
This Book is a very good beginners guide to the possibilities of EFT.“
–Jim “Grateful” (USA)
Wonderful Techniques for Children
“Use this daily with grandchildren. They now know how to do it, and what to use it for.”
–Charlie (Toledo, OH)
Incredible Book For Adults Too!
“Tap Into Joy is an amazing book for adults (as well as kids) because the issues we have as adults originated during childhood. I’m in my 40’s and just reading the table of contents brought up memories and emotions of things I didn’t know affected me now. I gain a lot of peace of mind by releasing them and notice more happiness in my daily life as an adult! The perfect book to heal the child inside all of us.”
–K. Rudolph , San Diego, CA
Incredibly Helpful!
“My 7 year old girl suffers from very high levels of frustration, anger, perfectionism. This book is so simple in its instruction, so easy to understand and use, and I am amazed and delighted and how helpful my daughter has found the technique in bringing her down from very wound up and hot headed, to relaxed and at peace – within minutes. This book has achieved more in a few minutes than countless hours of counseling over the years!“
-Broughton01
My friend loves this book!
“I gave this book to my friend who has a young daughter. She thought it might be a good tool for giving her child a way to refocus during typical young-child emotional events. From what I’ve heard, the child easily adjusts on her own using this technique. She will come to her mother saying that she is feeling good and ready to continue with the disrupted moment. Mom indicated that it was easy for them to learn this together and that she is confident about the positive results experienced so far.”
-Carrie
“This is a book of EFT Scripts for Kids – Perfect! In case you couldn’t tell by the description and reviews, this book has some great EFT explanation, and then is chock full of awesome scripts for kids to use. If they know EFT and know how to read, they really can do it on their own. I wish new authors would realize the value of including detailed descriptions of their books on Amazon or at least include a “look inside this book” where you show the table of contents and a few random pages. You are missing an audience of people who would love your book but don’t know what is inside! I almost didn’t buy the book because I always research first. Anyway, here are the scripts you get:
– Confidence/Limiting Beliefs: bad habits, being bullied, being made fun of, *do not like to be apart or separated, food choices, I cannot do it, I do not fit tin, I look different, making a mistake, not good enough, peer pressure, potty training, someone hurt my feelings, staying in my bed, *tapping does not work (this one is for kids who sometimes doubt!)
– Family and Home: moving, new baby, parents arguing, parens are divorced, fear of parents getting divorced, *problems with brother/sister
– Fears: animals, fear of the ball, clowns, crowded places, the dark, enclosed places, getting lost, dentist, doctor, high places, monsters, stage fright, roller coasters and rides, spiders, stormy weather, tv show scared me, water/swimming
– School: cannot learn math facts, *don’t want to do homework, first day of school, issues with teacher, reading is a struggle, test taking
– Transportation: airplanes, school bus, riding a bike, riding in car
– Other emotions/issues: *anger, anxiety, frustrated, getting yelled at, grief- loss of loved one, grief- loss of pet, guilt, *hard to pay attention, *impatient
My son enjoyed going through and marking with tabs the scripts he thought he would use the most often. I starred the ones my son picked. Also, each script takes up two pages, left and right so you can lay the book open. Step 1 is to evaluate the intensity 1-10. Step 2 is to tap the karate chop point and use those words she gives you. Step 3 is to tap all the EFT points with negative thoughts she gives you. Step 4 is to “forgive” by putting your hand over your heart and use that script she gives you. Step 5 is to tap all the EFT points with positive thoughts she gives you. Step 6 is to re-evaluate the intensity. This is more detail than the EFT I have been exposed to and I like it! Each script has diagram of a child with the EFT points marked. These scripts can be used during an urgent matter or on a regular basis to work through an issue when already calm. And of course a few words could be changed here and there to fit your situation better. I don’t think this book could have been done much better, really. Maybe include a DVD of a few general scripts being tapped by a child? My child loves to watch the EFT kids videos by Brad Yates on YouTube, to tap along with. Now if Tap Into Joy could just help my very intense child GET to his room in the first place, to use his EFT earlier, it would be my best friend! – I hoped this helped someone!
–Luke’s Mom, Texas
“A well written book, wonderful for the beginner of EFT because the author guides you step by step. EFT is simply acupuncture without needles, gentle tapping where needles would be placed, and it just works, and wonderfully so. Then, with a guide like this book, you can assure yourself of having some success with emotional & physical relief for yourself, a friend or a family member. Well done, Susan Busen.”

Here’s what others are saying about
Tap into Balance-Your Guide to Awakening the Joy Within:
“EFT is such a gift because it offers a hands-on technique that can be used anywhere and in any situation for mental, emotional and physical problems. The only drawback is that people allow their minds to say it won’t work for them. Susan Busen not only makes EFT come alive but also helps you get your mind out of the way so EFT can do its job. Tap into Balance is exactly what this world craves in order for us to have the lives we were meant to lead.“
Carolyn Dean, MD, ND, Creator of RnA Drops, Author of The Magnesium Miracle
“Sue has a profound knowledge of EFT and she has experienced its results in her life and in the lives of her many clients. This book is a must have on your bookshelf. She explains what EFT is and how to go about achieving your goals with the very thorough Tapping Scripts included. There is help for every problem imaginable and also an important self-assessment section. I especially like the forgiving aspect, for in forgiveness there is freedom. I highly recommend Sue’s book for those looking to achieve their goals and to experience emotional freedom.”
Gail Mae Ferguson-Maceda, AAMET Certified Adv. EFT Practitioner
“Tap into Balance by author Susan Jeffrey Busen is a well-organized comprehensive manual that guides the reader into optimal utilization of the Emotional Freedom Techniques. Awakening the joy that is within us is a very unique journey. Each chapter is organized around all of those areas that keep us stuck in discontent, i.e. Emotions, Relationships, Fears, Finances, Physical Illness, and Death. In an easy to use and consistent method, Susan guides the reader through the process of self-assessment, understanding negative memory messages, forgiving ourselves and others, positive affirmations to make new memories and then re-assessment. Almost like planting a garden, this structured approach clears the way of the weeds and needless impediments to our true emotional freedom. It replaces it with the most important courageous act that each of us must take, namely, taking responsibility for our happiness. With Tap into Balance, Susan helps you plant the seed, but you must tend to your own garden.”

Tap into Balance is an effective tool for eliminating stress. It is easy to use and allows us to track our progress before and after tapping. I have recommended Sue’s books to many. I have witnessed my teenage sons using Sue’s book which gives them another tool for coping with the many stressors of life. Sue makes it practical to use EFT in day to day life. I am grateful Sue has shared her knowledge and gifts with us.”

“I found the book to be incredibly easy to navigate and very approachable. Sue’s warm tone and confidence is comforting to the reader.

Thank you, Sue, for providing such a great book to add to my arsenal of healing tools!”
—Venessa Rodriguez, CHHC, Holistic Health Coach, Unveiled Wellness
“Sue Busen rocks tapping! Why do I say that? I’m glad you asked… If you’ve watched videos or heard speakers talk about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly referred to as Tapping, then you know they always start you at the 101 course for beginners. But that’s also where they leave you. Not always a good place. Well ladies and gentlemen, Sue will take you way, way beyond 101. You’ll dive deep, go far and wide. I can’t say this workbook style book will turn you into an expert, but it will certainly blow you out of beginners status! You just got to try it. I hope you’ll love it and learn as much as much as I did.“
