Gary Craig, an engineer and personal performance coach, developed Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), the core of which he learned as a student of Dr. Roger Callahan, a psychologist who devised Thought Field Therapy. He recognized that the quality of his thoughts was mirrored in the quality of his life.

EFT and Emotional Stress Release (originating from Kinesiology) 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, but no needles are used.  Instead, a series of meridian points are either gently tapped or held in a specific order. These techniques help to clear stressful emotions and allow for a positive shift in perspective, which helps restore the body to its naturally balanced emotional state. It can often provide relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms which may be associated with emotional stress.
