Like so many other disciplines, the old paradigm music industry is dying and the empowered artist is now in control of their destiny.

Some NPD readers may know about EFT. This simple tapping technique achieved wonderful results on the mental, emotional and physical dimensions. Gary has worked tirelessly for 15 years to develop a worldwide community of EFT practitioners recently decided to retire. I am copying his announcement for those of you who know his work but may not be on his mailing list and for everyone else, you may want to check the new site mentioned below to explore this simple and powerful technique we have written about previously.

Update

The EFT website will be discontinued tomorrow, June 5. Please recall that I have complex liability and other issues involved with having the website perpetuated in its current form and under my name.

However, I have also listened to your many requests to make available certain sections of the EFT website, including the large collection of EFT articles. Along these lines, I have had extensive discussions with my attorneys, webmasters and Dawson Church, the man responsible for our growing body of essential EFT research.

New Website: As a result, many of the important sections of the EFT website are being allowed on Dawson’s new website www.EFTuniverse.com. While I still retain legal ownership of the various copyrights and other EFT assets, Dawson can use some of them in your behalf so long as my name has been removed from them. He has spent many hours and a lot of money providing this service for you and I urge you to visit his site.

New Newsletter: Dawson, with the able assistance of David Mackay, will also be putting out a weekly EFT newsletter and will be carrying out “EFT as usual” with such adjustments as he sees fit over time. He will be actively soliciting your input to maximize its value for the EFT Community. You can subscribe to this new EFT newsletter now by simply clicking on this link. This link will conveniently put you on this useful newsletter. I would do it for you but I cannot ethically add you to this list without your active permission.

DVDs: Unfortunately, I will not be reinstating the sales of the DVDs. Please note, however, that we have sold our DVDs to over 100,000 people worldwide and each of these customers has the ability to copy them up to 100 times to give (not sell) to others. Thus the DVDs remain available, although you may need to hunt around a bit to find them. People wanting to use our DVDs to teach EFT, for example, could make up to 100 copies of their original DVDs and lend them to their students.

More Details Tomorrow: Tomorrow I will send you two messages, one by Dawson Church that will fill in the details for you regarding his new website and one by Eric Huurre with an update on the EFT for Veterans film.

Your emofree.com Links: If you have established website/blog/book/video/etc. links to emofree.com, you need not disable them. As a courtesy, they will soon be automatically directed/sent to EFTuniverse.com so your visitors/clients can access many of the EFT resources.

EFT Forums and Discussion Groups: As you may know, Eric Huurre has been spearheading our various EFT Forums. He will be moving those to www.EFTMastersWorldwide.com/forums and will continue them as before. Dawson is also setting up EFT discussion groups that will be housed on EFTuniverse.com.

Tina Craig is available as a consultant: Tina Craig is available as a consultant for independent EFT training or certification programs. Tina created the entire EFT Certification Program, including the Study Guides and all of the Intermediate Tutorials, and can very clearly distinguish Official EFT from individual variations. Her fee would depend on the project and the scope of her involvement, so if you are interested please contact her at tinacop@msn.com.

My retirement is now a reality. The past 15 years resulted in an extraordinary journey for all of us and, with support from the vast majority of you, our EFT groundswell has been impressive. I will watch with interest to see what you do with it from here.

With Gratitude, Smiles and my very best Hug,

Gary Craig
Grateful everyday citizen

PS: In my retirement announcement I mentioned a new website and newsletter that I might create. They involve an advanced level of healing and are still on my drawing board. I have much to do before I consider launching them and thus it may be anywhere from a few months to 2 or 3 years before I make them public. As long as you remain on this list, you will be automatically updated if they come to pass.

We have reported on the amazing results of EFT, a simple, no cost, non-invasive energy treatment that can be self administered once learned. Here is the latest and wonderful application with major positive implications for vets and others with PTSS.
