It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Gary Craig, Founder of EFT … and my father. He was his usual enthusiastic and charming self until the very last moment, and he went peacefully in his sleep, lying in his favorite recliner, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With the creation of EFT, he opened new doors, combining scientific approaches and an energy component to revolutionize the healing of emotional issues, and bringing awareness to the emotional causes of physical issues. Personally, I cherished the International Journal of Healing and Caring 2026, 26(1) 35 – 38 opportunity to work by his side; in partnership with his teachings, with a front row seat to his generosity, and inspired by his spirituality.
