Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT)
What is EFT?
- EFT is a simple and effective way to feel calmer and think more clearly.
- EFT can be used by anyone no matter what their age.
- EFT uses words to tune into a problem or challenge and acupressure tapping to clear the energy.
Emotional Freedom Techniques is an Energy process developed by Gary Craig that works with the mind-body energy system to (often totally) eliminate all kinds of emotional, mental, physical and spiritual discomfort. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) has been be described as “emotional acupressure.” It involves tapping on acupuncture points while using affirmations. EFT is easy to learn and can be self applied.
The discovery statement for EFT is:
"All negative emotion is due to a disruption in the body’s energy system."
Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our body. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions, like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world... until we heal that disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often removes the resulting symptoms.
EFT has also been found to be effective for symptoms of many physical conditions, which led Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, to conclude that:
"Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases."

History of EFT
EFT was introduced in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford Engineering graduate in lifelong pursuit of personal well-being. "I have been intensely interested in personal improvement via psychology since my age 13. That was when I recognized that the quality of my thoughts was mirrored in the quality of my life. Since then I have been self taught in this field, seeking only those procedures that, in my opinion, produced results. EFT is my latest finding, the core of which I learned from Dr. Roger Callahan. I also have high regard for Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in which I am a Certified Master Practitioner."
Gary Craig is neither a psychologist nor a licensed therapist. He is an ordained minister through the Universal Church of God in Southern California, which is non-denominational and embraces all religions. He is a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, and approaches his work with a decidedly spiritual perspective. However, there is no specific spiritual teaching connected to EFT or its Practitioners.
"I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will."
