#1 – Intro and Lesson 1.

By Gary Craig, Founder

INTRODUCTION (Followed by Lesson 1)

Advanced lessons:

The Stairway to Miracles

These lessons are advanced and are meant for health professionals and motivated self-helpers. With them, and the Self-Help sessions, you will immerse yourself into this process and ascend The Stairway to Miracles to heights currently beyond most belief systems. Please see the instructions on the Read This First! – How To Take This Course article that appears every time you login to your Membership. Those instructions give you an essential road map to your success.

There is no time limit involved so make sure you study and restudy them so that you “own” each idea. This will allow you to confidently climb The Stairway to Miracles. Flipping through them quickly will cost you in the long run. Combining them with the Self-Help sessions, as indicated above, will deepen your understanding.

Prerequisite:

This course assumes you have thoroughly read, and practiced, my foundational book entitled, The Unseen Therapist. That book is an integral part of this Optimal EFT Course and forms the groundwork for what is to come. The more you have practiced the book’s essential concepts, especially The Personal Peace Procedure, the more benefit you will receive from these lessons.

These lessons will immerse you into an ocean of new uses for The Personal Peace Procedure and greatly enhance your ability to dig into the hidden details of every issue so you can put more “on the table” for The Unseen Therapist to cleanly resolve. They also prime you for Complete EFT Certification in this process.

LESSON 1: DEFINITIONS AND OVERVIEW

Definitions

New innovations usually carry with them some new terms. Here they are. 

What is EFT (or EFT Tapping)?

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and is the name given to my original healing process (now in the hands of millions in over 20 languages). It is an emotional version of acupuncture, except we don’t use needles. Instead, we professionally identify an issue and then stimulate various meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This has reduced the conventional therapy process from weeks, months or years to a fraction of that time.

It is often called EFT, EFT Tapping, or just Tapping, and has been substantially distorted by hundreds of enthusiasts on the internet. To avoid the confusion by these enthusiasts, and to give the public complete, detailed instructions on the use of EFT Tapping, I have provided a free Gold Standard Official EFT Tapping Tutorial. For this course, the term EFT Tapping refers to that tutorial. More about this at the end of these lessons.

What is Optimal EFT?

It is the latest advancement in EFT. It uses the professional methods of EFT for identifying the issue (very important–and thoroughly taught within these lessons) but replaces the tapping with the unlimited healing power of The Unseen Therapist. This innovation, if completely mastered, removes the lid from all healing limitations and enters a state where the impossible becomes routine.

Although Optimal EFT is more powerful and more efficient than EFT Tapping, not everyone is ready for it. This is because it involves a new form of thinking (NewThink) that some students and clients resist (at least at first). That is why both methods are included in our lessons. As a student, you will develop an easy facility with both procedures and can choose between them at will.

What is The Stairway to Miracles?

It is a metaphor I use for Optimal EFT. It signifies your ascent toward miraculous benefits. The higher you climb, the more prolific your experiences. 

Overview:

Each lesson is a step:

You can consider each of the lessons herein as an individual step up The Stairway to Miracles..Some are simple to master while others require more practice. Mastering them all is ideal, of course, because the more you master, the more magnificent will be your healing results. While you can do astonishing things with these lessons, you can further accelerate your ascension and climb even higher by, again, combing them with our Self-Help sessions as indicated in Read This First! – How To Take This Course..

Our ultimate purpose:

As indicated in my book, The Unseen Therapist, our primary aim is to merge into our natural state of Oneness by moving beyond the limitations of the belief in separation. This is not a light task. In fact, it is so lofty that few, if any, will make it all the way. That’s OK because each step up our Stairway to Miracles expands our vision a bit and allows us to approach this limitless existence. Even a small percentage of this ultimate state will magnify the beauty of our beings well beyond anything we experience within our separated “body suits.”

To do this, we will use these lessons to reduce the resentments and other barriers to love’s true presence. As we shed this ballast we will float upward toward True Forgiveness and our natural state of Oneness.

We are assistants:

The Unseen Therapist

The Unseen Therapist is the true therapist in this process: You and I are Her assistants and this we must thoroughly understand. Our egos are likely to resist this and attempt to be “in charge.” As a result, previous beliefs may interfere and our NewThink may find competition. Accordingly, our biggest challenge is to set our egos aside and listen to a far greater wisdom. The more you put these lessons into practice, the more that wisdom will appear–perhaps slowly at first–but, eventually, your trust and confidence will grow and your ascent up The Stairway to Miracles will gather speed. 

Gaining that trust and confidence is one of the main purposes of this Optimal EFT Course. However, it WILL require your diligence. That’s why this Course is designed for health professionals and motivated self-helpers. Those seeking “quick-fixes” may get them but such results are NOT our focus. We are pursuing foundational shifts that transcend everything known on the human plane. 

Our main function as an assistant to The Unseen Therapist is to identify true causes so they can be “put on the table” for Her to resolve. This is where the creativity and artistry that you will learn here come into play.

Most of us “hide” our deeper issues (through repression, avoidance or simple forgetfulness) and thus they need resurrection. Please recall that The Unseen Therapist will NOT interfere with our free will to believe as we choose. That would be a form of thought police and an unloving thing to do. Your new skills, however, can (1) bubble these causes up to the surface, (2) bring new understandings to them and (3) allow them to be more willingly offered to The Unseen Therapist. 

How are the lessons organized?

While these lessons will cover both Optimal EFT and Gold Standard EFT Tapping, I will begin with Optimal EFT. This is because it is the most powerful of the two and contains many principles in common with the Tapping form. At the end, I will teach you Gold Standard EFT Tapping and will blend it, in an easy to use manner, with these common principles. 

Each lesson builds on those before it and so it is essential that you have a solid understanding of each one before proceeding to the next. At the end of each lesson are some Questions and Exercises. They are designed to test and expand your comprehension so please spend quality time with them. Here is the first set.
