About 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 it’s 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.”

— Gary Craig, Founder of EFT

Tap Into Relaxation and Well Being

Emotional Freedom Techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques are based on the ancient principles of acupuncture. EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body’s energy system without the discomfort of needles. Unlike other energy healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits. 

EFT is a very flexible process and thus this website represents the views of the presenter and does not necessarily reflect those of EFT or Gary Craig.

Meridian Tapping Techniques (MTT) including EFT, are very flexible and can be used for just about anything. The information and references presented here to any tapping process are based on both training and adaptation by
Nancy Southern, MSW. Please contact her to learn more about her methods and successes.

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 continues to provide encouraging results, even with newcomers applying EFT to themselves. Some cases are more complex, however, and may require more detailed attention from an experienced EFT Practitioner.

Important note: While EFT and the other methods Nancy uses have produced remarkable results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Further, Nancy Southern, MSW is not a licensed health professional and offers EFT and other methodologies as an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church and as a personal performance coach.
