This acupressure-based healing modality was first pioneered by renowned chiropractor, George Goodheart,
furthered by medical doctor John Diamond and psychologist Roger Callahan and dramatically simplified and
improved by Stanford engineer Gary Craig. With the initial aid of Adrienne Fowlie, Craig developed EFT and
made the work elegant, efficient and affordable for almost anyone. Craig deserves the Legion of Honor
award for making the work available at little or no cost to millions of people.
 “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.”
Based on the premise that unresolved emotions can compromise our potential for happiness, EFT
began as an effective remedy for phobias, addictions and war trauma. Vietnam Vets were finally able
to sleep at night, smokers could choose fresh air, and paralyzing phobias lost their grip...all without
medication!
Before long, EFT was providing relief for migraine headaches, sexual abuse trauma, and a wide
assortment of everyday ailments. Fascinated by the results, founder Gary Craig taught the technique
to therapists, clients and people on the street. He said “Try it on everything!”, so they did.
Since then, EFT has grown into a revolutionary healing aid, used by traditional therapists, medical
professionals and alternative healers on everything from weight loss to cancer. The discovery behind
this relief is that unresolved emotional issues are caused by disruptions in the body’s “subtle
energies”. These disruptions inhibit our natural ability to heal, leaving us open to nagging fears,
chronic pain and terminal illness.
The composition of EFT's Advisory Board speaks volumes about how the medical community is embracing this new modality.
