Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, describes his technique as “Official Emotional Freedom Technique: The gold standard of EFT”, to differentiate his protocol from the many EFT offshoots in use today. EFT is an energy therapy technique that provides freedom from negative emotions. EFT utilizes the energy meridians of the body. All that is required is to simply focus on the negative emotion or problem and "tap" certain meridian points on the body. The real beauty of the technique is that anyone can do it; it is simple to use and easy to learn. You can use it on yourself, with your family or with friends. It is also an invaluable tool for massage therapists, psychotherapist, chiropractors, physical therapists, hypnotherapists, or anyone in the healing or helping professions
