Emotional Freedom Therapy – EFT was created by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineering graduate and ordained minister with the United Church of God in Southern California, which is non-denominational and embraces all religions.
Gary Craig, in the mid 1990′s EFT technique was meant to be a simplification and improvement of Dr. Roger Callahan’s Though Field Therapy (TFT) techniques. In 1990 Cary Craig trained with Dr. Callahan and in 1993 Gary Craig was the first person Callahan trained in his most advanced procedure, a proprietary procedure known as “voice technology.” Cary found through his experience that the sequence of tapping points did not matter and that special proprietary procedures were therefore unnecessary, this was born EFT (emotional freedom technique.)
The core issues of being of the therapy learned from Dr. Roger Callahan, EFT is based on this new discovery that has provided thousands with relief from pain, disease and emotional issues. Simply stated, is an emotional version of acupuncture except needles are not necessary. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian, points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. You can easily learn this process and once learned you can do them anywhere.
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” and because our physical pains and deseases are so obviously connected with our emotions, the following statememt has also been proven to be true. “Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributions to most physical pains and diseases.” This common sense approach draws its power from:
1. time honored eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years and
2. Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920s that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy.
These ideas have been largely ignored by Western healing practices and that is why EFT often works at times when nothing else will.
