  • How are EFT Tapping, Optimal EFT, and Palace Of Possibilities related?
    EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It was my first public ReThink and was introduced to the public in 1995. Since then it has gone viral and spread to millions in over 20 languages. It involves a self-applied version of acupuncture except it doesn't use needles. Instead it uses fingertip tapping on various body meridian points. to bring peace to emotionally charged specific events. Properly done, this brings personal peace to your system and can bring relief to pains, diseases & emotions as well as improvements to performance, relationships, addictions and much more. It often works where nothing else will. It is often referred to as EFT, EFT Tapping or just Tapping. Optimal EFT (OEFT) was introduced in 2014 as an improvement to EFT. It substitutes our "spiritual healer within" (The Unseen Therapist) for the physical fingertip tapping of EFT. While it substantially expands the power of EFT, not everyone is ready for it. That's why we teach both methods on this website. The Palace of Possibilities was introduced in 2024 as a container for the many wonders of EFT and OEFT. It also allows me to bring forward many of my other ReThinks. All of the above is prolifically taught in our Near-Free Advanced Online Training.
  • Do you endorse any of those EFT Spinoffs on the internet?
    I am honored that so many (hundreds) wish to bring the value of EFT to the public in the form of EFT Spinoffs. I wish I could endorse any of them but, for a variety of reasons and in all good conscience, I cannot. While well intentioned, the Spinoffs do not offer the most current version of EFT as updated by the EFT founder. In addition, it is not permissible for them to offer the latest advancements in EFT at this time. These advancements currently include Optimal EFT (OEFT, The Unseen Therapist) and The Palace of Possibilities.
  • How can I distinguish between a Spinoff and one of your Official EFT Training Centers?
    Our Centers all use the title, "The Gary Craig Official EFT Training Center In The [XYZ] Language." All the rest are Spinoffs.
  • Does it work on ________?
    Yes, if properly done. Let me explain. Most people come here because something bothers them. Examples... I have pains, a disease, itchiness or other physical symptoms. Can you help me with that? I have an emotional issue (fear, anger, guilt, etc.) that is destroying my life. Can you help me with that? I want a better golf score. Can you help me with that? My addictions are consuming me and those around me. Can you help me with that? And so on for thousands of other issues. And, with great regularity, they are hoping for a super pill, surgery or magic bullet that will "fix" them forever and they will live happily ever after. So, before entering The Palace of Possibilities, they want assurance that this process guarantees immediate results on THEIR SPECIFIC ISSUE. Otherwise, why bother? So, they ask the above question. Well, many get just what they came for and are thrilled with the process. Our website is filled with such examples... hundreds of them. Others, however, do not get immediate results on THEIR SPECIFIC ISSUE and erroneously conclude that something is wrong with our process. That's because our process aims at a major CAUSE of our specific issues, namely, the emotional unrest that we all collect over our lifetimes. Unraveling that is our job and we do it well. Sometimes, however, it takes more time and skill than for others. For example, while your blood pressure may improve and you may get along with that irritating "Uncle Charlie" much better, your sore shoulder or other SPECIFIC ISSUE may show no improvement... yet. That's good because it points to more work to do. More "house cleaning" is necessary. Thus, we generate Personal Peace within and allow our natural healing and other performance abilities to naturally blossom. While it may take more digging and skill for some people and their issues, there is no one whom our Personal Peace Procedure cannot dramatically help in multiple areas.
  • How do I choose between learning EFT Tapping or Optimal EFT?
    Both methods use very similar approaches. The essential difference is that EFT Tapping brings peace to the system via mechanical tapping with the fingertips on meridian points while Optimal EFT ignores tapping and brings peace to the system by involving spiritual powers from within. Optimal EFT is more powerful but not everyone is ready for it. Many spend time with both and make their initial choice from there. You can always add the other method later.

  • 2. FAQS ABOUT ACIM
    FAQs Compiled by Sheri Baker Director, The Gary Craig Official EFT™ Training Center (English) Gary Craig Certified Official EFT™ Master What is A Course in Miracles (ACIM)? To summarize a book containing about half a million words and to do so in only one sentence would be a challenge, to say the least, but here goes: ACIM is a self-study thought system of spiritual psychotherapy whose goal is inner peace, brought about through a process called true forgiveness. How did ACIM come about? ACIM is a channelled book, scribed by Helen Schucman, with support from her colleague, Bill Thetford. For those unfamiliar with channelling, a channelled work is generally considered to be communication from beyond our conscious level of awareness. Both Helen and Bill held PhDs in Psychology and were professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. After experiencing ongoing difficulties in their relationship, and relationships with other colleagues at the Medical Center, one day Bill declared there had to be “a better way” of relating to others. Agreeing with Bill, Helen responded, “I will help you.” This joining together of two people with a common goal set off a series of spiritual experiences for Helen. One day, she “heard” an authoritative voice within her own mind say, “This is a course in miracles. Please take notes.” Asking Bill what she should do, he said, “Why don’t you do what the voice says?” So in 1965, Helen began to write down what she described as an inner dictation, and the end result was a compilation of three books, now known as A Course in Miracles, first published in 1975. The Course has been referred to by many as one of the most important spiritual documents known to humanity. Currently there are more than three million copies of the Course in circulation, translated into 26 languages with more to come. Who is the “voice” of A Course in Miracles? Helen, a self-proclaimed atheist, said that the voice identified himself as Jesus. Although this idea was unsettling to her, Helen never questioned that Jesus was the source of the information. The Course itself says, however, that it is not necessary to believe it is the voice of Jesus to benefit from its content. Said Helen, “It wasn’t my voice. It couldn’t have been because it talked about a whole area with which I am entirely unfamiliar. It’s a process I really would find impossible to explain. I did not know consciously at the beginning of a sentence how it was going to end. It came very easily, rapidly, and smoothly. I could stop at any time or pick up at any time, even in the middle of a sentence. It never occurred to me not to do it (take notes). Out of personal integrity, I really did not interfere with it. It was consistent and read very well.” The dictation of A Course in Miracles was completed in the fall of 1972. Shortly thereafter, Helen and Bill met Ken Wapnick, who held a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and assisted them in getting the manuscript prepared for publishing. Said Ken, “From my point of view, A Course in Miracles is the best integration I have ever seen of psychology and spirituality.” With the help of Judith Skutch, who joined the group in 1975, the Course was printed in its current form soon thereafter. How would you describe the curriculum of A Course in Miracles? The Course consists of three volumes: the Text, Workbook For Students, and Manual for Teachers. The Text contains the basic theory of the Course. The Workbook consists of 365 lessons, one for each day of the year, which provides a practical application of the principles set forth in the Text. The Manual For Teachers answers frequently asked questions about the Course. Two supplements, also scribed by Helen, were published separately from the Course: Psychotherapy: Purpose, Process and Practice, plus The Song of Prayer: Prayer, Forgiveness, Healing. How best should I proceed with studying ACIM? There is no one best way to proceed with reading and studying the Course. Some people start by reading the Text to obtain a theoretical foundation. Others prefer starting with the Workbook For Students, which takes at least a year to complete. And then some people like to start with the Manual For Teachers because it provides a relatively brief overview of the Course. Some read all three at the same time. The only specific instruction given by Jesus refers to the Workbook lessons in that “we do not undertake to do more than one set of exercises a day.” (W-In.2:6) It is, however, perfectly okay to repeat lessons, especially if you find them particularly meaningful or difficult to understand. In another guiding principle offered by Jesus in doing the lessons of the Workbook, he says, “Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.” (W-In.9:1-5) What A Course in Miracles is NOT ACIM is not a religion and is not for everyone. If it’s your path, you will know it. ACIM is not the only spiritual thought system or only path to God, nor does it claim to be. In fact, it says it is “one of thousands.” From the Manual For Teachers, it says, “This is a manual for a special curriculum, intended for teachers of a special form of the universal course. There are many thousands of other forms, all with the same outcome.” (M-1.4:1-2) Is the world really just a dream? ACIM tells us that the world we see and the life we’re living is a dream, similar to our nighttime dreams. According to ACIM, we had a “tiny, mad idea” that we, as the one Son of God, could be separate from our Creator. This perception of separation is what ACIM refers to as the “detour into fear.” When we had that thought, we fell asleep to the truth of who we are and have been dreaming ever since. In the Text, it says, “You are at home in God, dreaming of exile, but perfectly capable of awakening to reality. Is it your decision to do so? You recognize from your own experience that what you see in dreams you think is real while you are asleep. Yet the instant you waken you realize that everything that seemed to happen in the dream did not happen at all.” (T-1-I.2:3) And in a Biblical equivalent: “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept.” (KJV - Gn 2:21) Nowhere in the Bible does it say Adam woke up, and that would likely be because we have yet to have a collective reawakening.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION TO A COURSE IN MIRACLES (ACIM)
    Introduction Compiled by Sheri Baker Director, The Gary Craig Official EFT™ Training Center (English) Gary Craig Certified Official EFT™ Master A Course in Miracles (ACIM or the Course) is a self-study thought system of spiritual psychotherapy whose goal is inner peace. It is from this peaceful state of mind that miracles are born. I have been a student of ACIM for many years and use its principles of truth as the spiritual foundation of both EFT Tapping and Optimal EFT. While it is my primary personal spiritual path, and that of EFT founder Gary Craig, and other EFTers, I readily acknowledge it is not for everyone. And studying its principles is certainly not a requirement for the magnificent use of EFT. According to ACIM, our ultimate goal in life is to remember who we truly are. And we will remember who we are, ACIM says, by releasing who we are not. EFT is is a powerful tool to help us do exactly that. With the proper use of EFT, we can release the emotional blocks and limiting beliefs that keep us from remembering our true identity, therefore facilitating our innate ability to maximize every room in our personal Palace of Possibilities. For those who are interested in exploring ACIM concepts, the intention is to initiate periodic discussions via various means to further our understanding of this incredibly inspirational book. As a brief introduction to the Course, you may wish to explore some Frequently Asked Questions featured on this page.

It couldn’t have been because it talked about a whole area with which I am entirely unfamiliar. It’s a process I really would find impossible to explain. I did not know consciously at the beginning of a sentence how it was going to end. It came very easily, rapidly, and smoothly. I could stop at any time or pick up at any time, even in the middle of a sentence. It never occurred to me not to do it (take notes). Out of personal integrity, I really did not interfere with it. It was consistent and read very well.” The dictation of A Course in Miracles was completed in the fall of 1972. Shortly thereafter, Helen and Bill met Ken Wapnick, who held a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and assisted them in getting the manuscript prepared for publishing. Said Ken, “From my point of view, A Course in Miracles is the best integration I have ever seen of psychology and spirituality.” With the help of Judith Skutch, who joined the group in 1975, the Course was printed in its current form soon thereafter.

  • How best should I proceed with studying ACIM?
    There is no one best way to proceed with reading and studying the Course. Some people start by reading the Text to obtain a theoretical foundation. Others prefer starting with the Workbook For Students, which takes at least a year to complete. And then some people like to start with the Manual For Teachers because it provides a relatively brief overview of the Course. Some read all three at the same time. The only specific instruction given by Jesus refers to the Workbook lessons in that “we do not undertake to do more than one set of exercises a day.” (W-In.2:6) It is, however, perfectly okay to repeat lessons, especially if you find them particularly meaningful or difficult to understand. In another guiding principle offered by Jesus in doing the lessons of the Workbook, he says, “Remember only this; you need not believe the ideas, you need not accept them, and you need not even welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter, or decrease their efficacy. But do not allow yourself to make exceptions in applying the ideas the workbook contains, and whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than that is required.” (W-In.9:1-5)
