What Is Optimal EFT?

Optimal EFT: A Unique Treatment Combing Exposure and Meditation
Optimal EFT is an innovative treatment method that merges the power of meditation with exposure therapy. Available since 2014, this form of EFT was developed by Gary Craig as an enhancement of Gold Standard EFT. Instead of tapping on meridian points, you utilize meditation and connect with your inner healer, referred to as the Unseen Therapist. This makes Optimal EFT a unique and profound complement to the classic EFT method.

New Dimension of Healing
Optimal EFT stems from Gary Craig’s spiritual journey and is inspired by his experiences with A Course in Miracles. While this spiritual background is not required to learn Optimal EFT, the method invites personal and spiritual growth. The strength of this approach lies in connecting with a higher wisdom during meditation, where the Unseen Therapist evokes a peaceful, loving state as you focus on the traumatic experience. This often leads to a deep and swift neutralization of emotional charges.

The Power of the Unseen Therapist
During Optimal EFT, you meditate and call upon your inner healer, referred to by Gary Craig as the Unseen Therapist. This healer is free from ego and can take any name that resonates with you, such as Love, Holy Spirit, or Inner Wisdom. By entering a relaxed, peaceful state during meditation, the stress response triggered by traumatic memories is extinguished, often more quickly and thoroughly than with Gold Standard EFT.

Optimal EFT offers a versatile and effective way to address deeply rooted emotional issues, with various forms of meditation tailored to the client’s needs. It is a powerful, spiritual enhancement to traditional EFT, helping you achieve a higher level of healing.
