Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It was my first public technique and was introduced in 1995. Since then it has gone viral and spread to millions in over 20 languages. It involves a self-applied version of acupuncture except it doesn't use needles. Instead it uses fingertip tapping on various body meridian points. to bring peace to emotionally charged specific events. Properly done, this brings personal peace to your system and can bring relief to pains, diseases & emotions as well as improvements to performance, relationships, addictions and much more. It often works where nothing else will. It is often referred to as EFT, EFT Tapping or just Tapping. • Optimal EFT (OEFT) was introduced in 2014 as an improvement to EFT. It substitutes our "spiritual healer within" (The Unseen Therapist) for the physical fingertip tapping of EFT. While it substantially expands the power of EFT, not everyone is ready for it. That's why we teach both methods on this website. • The Palace of Possibilities was introduced in 2024 as a container for the many wonders of EFT and OEFT.

I am honored that so many (hundreds) wish to bring the value of EFT to the public in the form of EFT Spinoffs. However. our website represents the HIGH-END of EFT & OEFT and the Spin-offs are neither allowed, nor qualified, to promote these levels. Hence, I cannot endorse any of them. We wish to attract SERIOUS STUDENTS that are willing to put in the necessary time to REALLY master these extraordinary skills. If your interest is more casual, then perhaps exploring the Spinoffs may be for you.

The centers that hold official status are designated as a “Gary Craig Official EFT Training Center” and can be found on the EFT Training page of this website.

Both forms are essential components of Official EFT. EFT Tapping and Optimal EFT are closely related and use very similar approaches, but they differ in how peace is brought to the system. In both methods, the shared goal is to resolve the stress patterns that underlie the issue being addressed. EFT Tapping includes more dissociation techniques and is often the preferred method when working with severe trauma. It brings calm and relief through gentle, mechanical tapping with the fingertips on specific meridian points. Optimal EFT does not use tapping. Instead, it brings peace to the system by engaging spiritual resources from within. This approach can be very powerful, but not everyone feels ready to work in this way right away. Many people spend time learning and using both methods and then decide which one suits them best at a given stage. You can always add the other method later, as the two approaches complement each other well.

Yes, if properly done. Let me explain. Most people come here because something bothers them. Examples... • I have pains, a disease, itchiness or other physical symptoms. Can you help me with that? • I have an emotional issue (fear, anger, guilt, etc.) that is destroying my life. Can you help me with that? • I want a better golf score. Can you help me with that? • My addictions are consuming me and those around me. Can you help me with that? • And so on for thousands of other issues. And, with great regularity, they are hoping for a super pill, surgery or magic bullet that will "fix" them forever and they will live happily ever after. So, before entering The Palace of Possibilities, they want assurance that this process guarantees immediate results on THEIR SPECIFIC ISSUE. Otherwise, why bother? So, they ask the above question. Well, many get just what they came for and are thrilled with the process. Our website is filled with such examples... hundreds of them. Others, however, do not get immediate results on THEIR SPECIFIC ISSUE and erroneously conclude that something is wrong with our process. That's because our process aims at a major CAUSE of our specific issues, namely, the emotional unrest that we all collect over our lifetimes. Unraveling that is our job and we do it well. Sometimes, however, it takes more time and skill than for others. For example, while your blood pressure may improve and you may get along with that irritating "Uncle Charlie" much better, your sore shoulder or other SPECIFIC ISSUE may show no improvement... yet. That's good because it points to more work to do. More "house cleaning" is necessary. Thus, we generate Personal Peace within and allow our natural healing and other performance abilities to naturally blossom. While it may take more digging and skill for some people and their issues, there is no one whom our Personal Peace Procedure cannot dramatically help in multiple areas.
