Hi, I am interested in learning new healing techniques and I watched yesterday the hooponopono and EFT video on YOU TUBE (Brad Yates) and also some general hoopononoponpo videos. The thing is that I dont really understand too well the process -

I understand that there are some key phrases (I love you, thankyou, I'm sorry etc.) that we have to repeat, but do we repeat them thinking of a problem in particular, or just generally like a mantra??.
And are we saying sorry, I love you etc.  to the problem or ourselves or what??? And if we dont combine it with EFT than what is the process or the point of it?
Is there more to the technique than just repeating these phrases?? Is it worth investing in a book on the topic or is it so simple as just repeating those phrases??

Thank you for any insight on that!!

it's a mantra. there are many other good ones from modern ones to sankskrit and sufi, etc. google will find you more. although i just like the KISS method and use "thank you, i love you" during meditation at the moment.
