Whether it's chocolate or pizza, pasta or Danish, most of us have a food craving we just can't seem to control. Unfortunately, these cravings are rarely for foods that are good for us.We turn to these foods to help tranquilize our anxiety, whether it rises from the stress of day-to-day life or from deeper anxieties that have been with us most of our lives. In either case, there's a new discovery that can bring down your immediate craving within minutes. Yes, in minutes. And you'll be easily able to walk away from the food that's always hounded you.The discovery?It's called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT for short), and it's provided thousands of people with relief from pain, cravings, and emotional issues. Simply stated, it's a unique version of acupuncture that you can do yourself and requires no needles. You simply stimulate well-established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and you can use it almost anywhere at any time.EFT is based on the discovery that imbalances in the body's energy system have profound effects on one's personal psychology. Correcting these imbalances, which is done by tapping on certain body locations, often leads to rapid remedies. Most problems vanish in minutes!The foundation of EFT can be found in its Discovery Statement: "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." By clearing the disruption in your energy system, you're quickly and easily able to eliminate the problem, which in this case is a food craving.How does it work?There are four steps to the basic EFT process, two of which are identical. They are:1. The Setup 2. The Sequence 3. The 9 Gamut Procedure 4. The SequenceThe Setup is designed to define the problem (a specific food craving) and neutralize any negative thinking that might sabotage the EFT process.The Sequence is a tapping process that covers the major energy meridians of the body using the fingertips of your index finger and middle finger of your dominate hand. These major energy meridians are the beginning of the eyebrow just above the nose; the bone bordering the outside corner of the eye; the bone under the eye; the mustache area between the bottom of your nose and the top of your upper lip; the midway point between your chin and the bottom of your lower lip; the area where the sternum; collarbone and first rib meet; the side of the body about four inches below the armpit; the outside edge of your thumb even with the base of your thumbnail; the sides of your index finger, middle finger and little finger, in that order and all even with the base of the fingernails; and finally, the fleshy part of the outside of your hand (referred to as the karate chop point).The 9 Gamut Procedure is the most bizarre looking process within EFT. Its purpose is to "fine tune" the brain and it does so via some eye movements and some humming and counting. Here's how it works: locate the Gamut point (the back of either hand, between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger) and perform these 9 different actions while tapping on the Gamut point ... close your eyes, open your eyes, look down hard right while holding your head steady, look down hard left, roll your eyes clockwise, roll your eyes counter clockwise, hum two seconds of Happy Birthday, count rapidly from 1 to 5, hum two seconds of Happy Birthday again.Then you run through the Sequence one final time.That's it! Not only is it easier than it sounds, it's fun!It not only works effectively for food cravings, but it also works well with more additive substances such as cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs ( those these cravings generally take a little longer to completely eliminate).
