Healing the Heart of Food Addiction, Chronic Dieting & Emotional Eating
“We can love our bodies and ourselves no matter where we are today. EFT can help us to release old core wounds, beliefs, habits and patterns wherever they come from and move forward into our lives fully expressed, peaceful with food and ourselves.”
Holiday EFT and Meditation: Staying Sane and Eating Right Despite the Pressure
“Hanukah is over, but Solstice, Christmas, and New Year’s are ahead, and every day seems to bring another party or lack thereof, another family crisis or the reminder of loss. What is most important in navigating this geography of grit and grace is to remember to actually use the tools we have.”
Releasing a Food Craving with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting
“… the bakery was like heaven for Vivian. She felt safe, appreciated, useful, and loved by her mother. And it all was tied to cookies.”
Weight Loss with EFT — Against All Odds
“Mindful, creative use of EFT achieved what is considered to be practically impossible… I lost weight while on steroids, going through menopause, despite starting off during a high-calorie holiday time. From now on I’ll never question whether EFT works for weight loss…”
EFT Helps Improve Sports Performance
“He said that doubt would creep into his thoughts, and the word failure would pop up. When asked when failure was an issue, he said that while trying out for a university football team, another player said that he was too small and would never make it…”
A Visual Approach for Anxiety: The Overeating Gremlin
“It really works! I do not own a scale so I do not know how much I have lost in the last 10 days, but my trousers fit easier and I have not binged at all. I have also not starved myself…”
And So She Ate – When No One Was Looking
“Kathy came to me in total frustration. She had gained a lot of weight in the last couple of years and besides that was overwhelmed and burdened with credit card debt. She felt so far behind her friends financially and didn’t like how she looked, and in her words: ‘I feel like a loser.’”
Breaking through Food Cravings with Tapping
“What finally shifted the cravings (and so far they haven’t returned!) was total acceptance of the fact that I wanted the foods.”
Wii and EFT: Exercise Made Easy
“I was delighted to observe in real terms the benefits of all of this tapping, clearing the limiting beliefs and working with the specific memories. I now have a positive voice encouraging me now when I am engaged in sports, which is a revelation to me!”
How to Tap:
From Feeling Bad to Feeling Better...
Adapted from The EFT Free Manual
Please Note: Before trying EFT, you agree to take full responsibility for your wellbeing, and for your exploration of these techniques.
1. Notice something specific that is bothering you. It might be a feeling in your body (tension headache, tight chest, heavy heart, etc.) or a specific thought or negative emotion in your head (angry about my friend, overwhelmed by work, my horrible boss). For the sake of this exercise, lets name your bothersome issue "this stress." Now rate the intensity on a scale of 0-10. How intense is this particular stress?
2. Do the EFT Setup. To perform the Setup, tap on the Karate Chop point (outside edge of hand, fig. 1) and repeat the following phrase three times:
Even though I have this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
3. Tap through the Sequence (figs. 3 and 4, several times on each point) while repeating the words "this stress..."
4. Pause to notice the effects of the tapping. Give yourself a moment to think about what has been bothering you. How intense is what you have been calling "this stress?" Has the number changed? What number would you give the intensity now?
5. Repeat the tapping process again. The second time around, we often change the wording a little:
Even though I still have some of this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway
6. Exhale the words "this stress..." as you tap on each point, tapping until your intensity subsides substantially and you feel better. Repeat the whole process if necessary, until the emotional intensity is as low as it will go.
Is the problem still bothering you in the same way? You may feel a lightness or a distance from the problem that you had not previously felt. Notice the changes you have been through, and congratulate yourself. You have just given yourself an experience of EFT.
