You Can Control those Food Cravings and Lose Weight using EFT
Stop Cravings using EFT 101
This article will deal with the basics of Emotion Freedom Techniques (EFT) and how you can use it to stop cravings. Once you learn the basic EFT process you'll be able to stop any food craving!
What is EFT ? EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture, except you don't use needles, you use your fingertips to stimulate the energy meridian points on your body. This is usually done with a tapping, or rubbing motion.
EFT is based on the belief that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. This was initially discovered by Albert Einstein in the 1920s. He proved that our bodies are composed of energy. That being the case, it only makes sense to use energy therapy to resolve problems within the body.
"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."
- Eric Robins, MD
"EFT never ceases to amaze me! The process is gentle and often provides benefits where other methods fail"
- DR. R Vergini, MD
Let's jump right into the process.
First you'll need to find something that you're craving to eat. Please get that item now before we start. For this demonstration let's assume that you are craving a chocolate bar.
Step 1 - Measure the intensity of your craving for the chocolate bar. On a scale of 0-10,0 being no craving and 10 being an extremely strong craving, determine what your craving level is. For this test your craving level should be at least a 5. If it's not, then either pick something you crave more, or work yourself up to a higher level. How ? Try smelling the chocolate. Now imagine how good it will taste. Do this until your craving is at least a 5. Good, now make a mental note of what your intensity is.
The Setup
Step 2 - With the finger tips of one hand; begin tapping on the side of the other hand. Imagine dialing a phone with two fingers. You should tap hard enough to feel it, but not so hard that it is uncomfortable. You should tap on the part of the hand that would come in contact with a board if you were doing a karate chop. It is called the karate chop point and it is the fleshy part of your hand located about 1 inch below the base of the pinky finger. Continue tapping on the karate chop point and say the following affirmation 5 times.
Even though I crave this (you will use your food here), I totally accept and love myself.
In our example you would say
Even though I crave this chocolate bar, I totally accept and love myself.
Great! You have just finished the first step of The Basic Recipe. Now it's time to move on to the next step, The Sequence.
The Sequence
Step 3 - The Sequence is very simple to do, first however you must learn how to do the tapping correctly.
How to Tap
It is best to Tap with your dominant hand using the index and middle fingers. Tap solidly, however never hard enough to cause pain or discomfort. Tap about 7 times on each of the tapping points. If you find yourself tapping about 5 or 9 times that is fine also. As you tap repeat the following affirmation;
This (insert your food here.)
In our example "This chocolate bar"
The Points
Eyebrow: At the beginning of the eyebrow to one side of the nose.
Side of Eye: On the bone bordering the outside of the eye.
Under Eye: On the bone about 1 inch below the eye.
Under Nose: On the small area at the bottom of the nose and the top of the upper lip.
Chin: Midway between the point of your chin and the bottom of your lower lip
Collar Bone: The junction where the collarbone and the first rib meet.
Under the Arm: About 4 inches below the armpit.
Congratulations you now have completed round 1. Now it's time to reassess you craving level. Determine the level that you now crave the food you chose. Most people will notice an immediate drop in the intensity level of their craving. If you were a 5 or 6, this process might have lowered it to a 1 or a 2, or possibly even 0.
You can further lower your intensity level by repeating the above process and changing the affirmations somewhat.
The new Step 2 affirmation would be "Even though I still have some of this craving left I totally and completely love and accept myself"
The new step 3 affirmation would be
"Remaining (insert your food here) craving"
In our example "Remaining chocolate bar craving"

You Can Help Eliminate Arthritis
Are you aware that today over 66 million people have arthritis or chronic joint pain? On average, that is approximately one in three people that are suffering from arthritis at this moment. That is almost as large as the population of Virginia...times 10!
Do you think the chronic joint pain caused by arthritis is reserved for the elderly? It isn't limited to those that are older. Arthritis affects all ages. There are nearly 300,000 children in America with some form of arthritis or rheumatic disease.
If you happen to be one of the fortunate who is not currently suffering from arthritis, don't think it is not affecting you. Arthritis costs the U.S. economy $86.2 billion annually. That is not a mistake. The cost to our country is in the billions of dollars each year.
I know several people whose lives are impacted by arthritis and related diseases. My wife is one of those. Kim continually experiences joint pain due to arthritis and lupus. She takes medications daily and frequently visits doctors and physical therapists to cope with the hurting. Surgeries have also taken place in the past.
Do you know someone with arthritis? You might be surprised at what he or she has to go through to deal with the hurting. You might also be surprised at the limits it places on daily living.
I decided to make a difference. I became a volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation. They are the only national not-for-profit organization that supports the more than 100 types of arthritis and related conditions with advocacy, programs, services and research. They partner with organizations to offer exercise programs and courses specifically for those affected by arthritis. They offer these programs in my own hometown of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Each year the Arthritis Foundation holds walks across the country to raise funds and awareness. My team, the Pain Killers, participated in the Fredericksburg Arthritis Walk this past May. We helped raise more than $33,000.00 in Fredericksburg for the Arthritis Foundation. I now have the honor of being selected as the chairperson for the 2006 Fredericksburg Arthritis Walk.
I encourage you to honor that person you know with arthritis by helping with the Arthritis Walk in your area. Get your friends and coworkers involved as well. There are many ways to get involved. You will make new friends and have fun while working to eliminate the #1 cause of disability.
