Lose Emotional Weight by the Pound!
By Karen
St.Clair, AAMET EFT Practitioner
the cake at all? Why you can’t say, “No, I’m not going to eat that cake today”? EFT Tapping is the path to freedom from cravings and losing those unwanted pounds that you thought would never go away.
H It’s really not about the food. We keep ourselves in this vi-
cious cycle of thinking we can’t lose weight, yoyo dieting and even negative self-talk because of much deeper issues that we don’t even know we’re carrying around. Every doubt, every nega- tive thought, every false belief that we have about ourselves carries emotional weight. This emotional weight keeps us from being able to lose pound after pound.
An EFT Tapping session works to identify the core issue(s) that
block us from losing weight. Once we know what the target issue is, we can zero in and decrease the intensity of emotional charge around the issue. As the emotional intensity is reduced by Tapping, it becomes clearer and clearer what has been standing in our way.
In one of my recent EFT workshops with three men and seven
women, luscious milk chocolate was given to everyone to hold and smell to see how high their level of craving peaked. They all said they REALLY wanted to eat the chocolate! After measuring each person’s intensity on a scale of 0 – 10, of how much they wanted to eat the chocolate, we started the EFT process.
ave you ever had a craving for a certain food? Mmmm, is that rich chocolate cake with butter cream frosting, just calling to you? Have you ever wondered why you crave
The process is simple and yet profound. We Tapped the merid- ian points on the body, outlined on the Tapping chart, to activate the fl ow of energy, starting with the set up statement that is repeat- ed three times to establish the Tapping issue. We then moved to a round of Tapping the meridian points on the face, under the arm and top of the head. The EFT practitioner says the Tapping words and the participants repeated the words, as in this sample script:
KC Karate Chop: Even though I REALLY want to eat this choco- late, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, just the way I am.
KC Karate Chop: Even though I NEED to eat this chocolate, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, just the way I am.
KC Karate Chop: Even though I want to eat this chocolate right NOW, I deeply and completely love and accept myself, just the way I am.
EB Eyebrow: I really want this chocolate. SE Side of Eye: I need this chocolate now. UE Under Eye: I know I’ll feel better if I eat this chocolate. UN Under Nose: I really have to have this chocolate. CP Chin Point: Don’t take my chocolate away.
