Gary Craig developed the Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), the core of which he learned as a student of Dr. Roger Callahan, a psychologist who devised Thought Field Therapy. Born in 1940, Gary has been interested in personal improvement via psychology since age 13. He recognized that the quality of his thoughts was mirrored in the quality of his life.
EFT is based on the natural flow of energy within our bodies. It is similar to Chinese acupuncture in that it allows the body to heal itself naturally. EFT strengthens and moves the body’s energy, which helps restore the body to its naturally balanced state. It often provides relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms and is usually quite gentle.
Gary, an avid student of A Course in Miracles, is not a psychologist nor is he a licensed therapist. He is an engineering graduate of Stanford University and an ordained minister with the Universal Church of God in Southern Califo ia, which is non-denominational and embraces all religions. Although Gary approaches EFT from a distinctly spiritual perspective, people using it are not asked to follow any specific spiritual teaching.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gary Craig
• Based on impressive new discoveries involving the body’s subtle energies, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) has been clinically effective in thousands of cases for Trauma & Abuse, Stress & Anxiety, Fears & Phobias Depression, Addictive Cravings, Children’s Issues, and hundreds of physical symptoms including headaches, body pains, and breathing difficulties. Properly applied, over 80 percent achieve either noticeable improvement or complete cessation of the problem. It is the missing piece to the healing puzzle.
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) 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.
