Sad to announce the passing of Gary Craig - founder of EFT.
Emotional Freedom Technique is an important aspect we teach on the Connected Kids program to help our meditation trainee teachers overcome self-limiting beliefs and feelings that block their success (no point in having fantastic meditation teaching skills if you don't have the confidence to go out there!)
Also, it blends well with teaching meditation and some of our tutors have gone on to learn it as a modality to help children and teens alongside teaching them mindful skills.
What I liked about Gary and his ethos was his generosity of spirit. He was professional in all his teachings yet compassionate and he knew that EFT was bigger than just him. Yet he was the voice that gave millions worldwide access to EFT.
Initially, I was very sceptical of using EFT - years ago, I was running a list of screened therapists for a local cancer centre, and one of them made bold claims about EFT.
I decided to have a 121 with this therapist, and not only did it help me overcome a massive fear (within minutes), I also found that a physical ailment that had plagued me for months simply disappeared overnight!

So of course... I had to learn how it worked and studied it to practitioner level. I was lucky to meet another therapist (Roushan Martens) who taught me how to 'let go' and trust my intuition when working with EFT. It was a gamechanger and it's what I often use in my online 121 sessions with clients who need help reframing their thoughts and energy.
I've been fortunate to work with and be taught by the amazing Angela Connolly- empowering a new generation who has helped me expand my awareness further with MBIR (something else I use within my 121s and particularly when trauma is present). I'm grateful to Angela for letting me know that Gary had passed.
I suppose this post is also to help inspire you through Gary's work If he hadn't followed his intuitive path, none of us would have had access to it and benefited from his work. Perhaps think of his life as an inspiration of how you can take what you know in a heart-centred, inspired way and share it with the world to bring a vibration of peace - whether or not you get to witness the direct benefit isn't the point. It's teaching, sharing, and taking the step into the unknown that this life is about.
Namaste, Gary, thank you for all you do both in life and in passing.
