Those of us who specialize in EFT see it's positive, life-changing effects on a daily basis, and we have thousands of clients who have experienced profound results for every conceivable kind of emotional and physical challenge.
EFT is simple to learn and can be used by anyone. Even the finer points are within reach for anyone curious enough to explore beyond the basics.
You may be wondering, "If it's so great, why aren't more people using it?"
We founded the Personal Peace Foundation, because we wanted to teach effective life-skills beyond our own "destination businesses", offering what we know to be a life-altering self-help method. By creating a non-profit that reaches out in specific ways, we are excited that more people will know about the revolutionary technology of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). We look forward to what we can create together so that our organization remains focused on one common goal: to introduce and offer EFT on an experiential basis to as many people as possible.
Our work would not be possible, indeed would not even exist without the efforts of Engineer and EFT creator Gary Craig. Gary continues to work diligently to maintain the integrity of EFT training worldwide through his DVD courses, free newsletter and developing certification program available at Emofree.com. We are proud to draw heavily upon Gary's disciplined, masterful approach to the Art of Delivery of EFT.
