How to Tap out Cravings with EFT




"I found this video on Freedom from Emotional Eating and Self Sabotaging Programs 100% Natural Weight Loss Program that is Powerful and Effective! and thought you it might be of interest to you. Learn why it's so hard to give up! The odds are stacked against you if you have programs installed from your life Experiences and mental programs."

I don’t know about you but absolutely hated being over weight. Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island then you know from the general media that obesity is a very common problem, and while gathering my research for this article I was surprised to find out that obesity is not a new disease, but was actually recorded by the ancient Chinese around 3000 years ago.

According to the ancient Chinese, if you are overweight or underweight then your whole self: body, mind and spirit is imbalanced. You have a proper weight ration and this is determined by your height, bone density, body shape and other some other factors, and if in some way your weight is not in proportion to these determines factors than it indicates imbalance.

I like to use the analogy of a car. When you load a car up heavily and for too long after time this will cause stress to the engine and will eventually seize. Just think about your heart – which could be argued, is just like the engine but for your body, as your heart becomes over worked, so then, it becomes enlarged, and the heart muscles soften and become loose.

If you are suffering from craving all day then it only stands to reason that you will be produce an imbalance in your mind and body. The more you eat (especially sugary/starch foods – think candy bar) the more you will produce fat.

If you have tried will power to stop these craving then you know that it is really is a no-win situation. There is a saying in hypnotic circles that states: “to try is to lie.” And that is exactly what will power is: lying to yourself that you can do this.

Yet, there is good news. If you want to stop the craving and thus lose weight there is a simple technique which if applied 1 to two minutes per day can really boost your ability to stop the very thing that triggers the craving in the first place. (Thing being emotion.)

For you see, emotion not will power is the power source for all your motivation and if your emotions are negative we tend to reflect negative results and vise versa.

There is a method called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) that really helps our minds become peaceful and gets rid of the need to wanting to overeat and once we have our mindset in the right frame then we can introduce sensible eating habits.

Because what we focus on the mind tends to reflect back.

If you are consistently hungry and you’ve tried everything from will power to faddy diets then you may be its time to look into your inner self and take charge of what has controlled you. Emotional Freedome Techniques

EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique

What is EFT?



Emotional Freedom technique is designed to release any issue (feeling) that is brought up by an experience or memory.

What is it suppose to do?

Is based on connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health. EFT is supposedly successful emotional, health and performance issues.

Where was this idea created?

Gary Craig, the originator of EFT, has argued that tapping anywhere on the body will manipulate "energy meridians". Combining two well know sciences that of Mind Body Medicine and Acupuncture.

About Mr. Craig

Was born in April 1940 and since the age of 13 has had a great personal interest in psychology. He states, "that's when I recognised that the quality of my thoughts was mirrored by the quality of my life."

He learned the core of ET from Dr. Roger Callahan.

Mr. Craig is also a Certified Master Practitioner in the field of Nuero Linguistic Programing (NLP).

How it works?

You focus on the uncomfortable feeling and with your fingertips you tap certain acupuncture (meridian) pressure points. Basically its acupuncture without the needles. And say "Even though I have this feeling ... I deeply and completely accept myself." and at each point you tap, you continue to say, "this feeling."

And, what it's suppose to do is release and let go all of those uncomfortable feelings.

It may take a few rounds, say five times to feel any difference towards the memory or feeling of that emotion as there may be several layers of intensity before you can allow yourself to let go.

Finally, EFT is safe and can be done on oneself as its a very simple technique. You have to bring out an event (memory) and focus on the feeling it brings - if you feel unsure, then it would advisable to consult your medical practitioner first before making any application, otherwise feel free to proceed, its your memory, your in charge.
