What
is EFT? (As Explained by Gary in his
own words)
I hope this doesn't sound too
grandiose, but 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, 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.
We are still learning why EFT works so
well. It centers around the profound effects of the body's
subtle energies using the theory that "the cause of all
negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." Accordingly,
EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use
needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate
certain meridian energy points while the client is "tuned
in" to the problem.
The subtle energies that circulate
throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by
western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional
and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT,
however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running
cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that
are FAR beyond those of conventional methods. Even a cursory
review of the case
histories on this web site will reveal that.
Further, EFT often provides relief for
a very wide range of physical symptoms. This, too, is abundantly
clear in our case
histories, which provide unmistakable evidence of the link between
our physical ailments and our emotional issues.
EFT is a Doorway to the new Healing
High-Rise. It is where a growing number of newcomers to this
exciting field get their start. We now have thousands of
practitioners using EFT throughout the world.
Compared to other techniques, EFT is
usually quite gentle and substantial relief is often achieved with
little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however.
Some people's issue are so intense that the mere mention of them
causes emotional or physical pain. Although truly serious
instances of this (sometimes called abreactions) is most likely to
occur in seriously emotionally damaged people (best estimate is less
than 1% of the population), newcomers to EFT are advised to exercise
common sense in this regard and not go where they aren't qualified.
How do I learn
EFT?
EFT is easily learned by professionals
and laypersons alike. Thorough and detailed training is given
through our video products.
These contain not only the EFT procedures but also actual sessions
with clients. You are shown in great detail how the procedures
are delivered to most people as well as the "art of
delivery" for more difficult cases. Full details regarding
these modestly priced video sets can be found in the video
products section of this web site.
To augment your learning, there is a Tutorial
on this web site that contains several articles designed to refine
your understanding of EFT and its many uses. There is also a
whole section on Frequently
Asked Questions.
There are also live workshops given by
EFT practitioners.
About Gary
Craig
I am the founder of EFT and your host
for this web site. Please know that I am neither a psychologist
nor a licensed therapist. Rather, I am a Stanford engineering
graduate and an ordained minister and, although we don't pound the
table for God here, I do come at this procedure from a decidedly
spiritual perspective.
My ordained ministry is with the
Universal Church of God in Southern California which is
non-denominational and embraces all religions. I am an avid
student of A Course In Miracles but at no time is any EFT'er asked to
follow any specific spiritual teaching.
Other details: I was born
April 13, 1940 and 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.
Hugs & Blessings, Gary
