Tapping technique to concur cravings
I have cravings for chocolate sometimes :p.... I will see if this technique works :p
Here is the tapping sequence that appears on the video if you would like to
read through it first:
This technique is from Thought Field
Therapy, or TFT, an extraordinary set of techniques created by Dr. Roger
Callaghan.
The Tapping Technique
1. I want you get the
biggest desire for a food that you can right now. If you don’t have a big
enough craving, put this technique to one side and come back to it when you’re
really feeling it.
2. Focus on this craving for a moment, and when
you’ve thought of that I’d like you to rate your desire for a food on a scale of
1-10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest. This is important,
because in a moment we want to know how much you’ve reduced it.
3.
On a scale of 1- 10, how strong is your craving? Remember, if you’re not really
craving a bite (i.e. your craving is not at least a 7), come back to this
technique later.
4. Now take two fingers of either hand and tap
about ten times under your collarbone while you continue to think about
eating.
5. Now tap under your eye ten times.
6. Now
tap under your collarbone again.
7. Place your other hand in front
of you and tap on the back of it between your ring finger and your little
finger. Continue to think about your desire for food as you
do this and each of the steps which follow:
Close your eyes and
open them.
Keep your head still, keep tapping and look down to
the right then down to the left.
Keep tapping and rotate your eyes round 360
degrees clockwise, and now 360 degrees anti-clockwise.
Remember to
keep thinking about the food you were craving as you do
this!
Now hum the first few lines of ‘Happy Birthday’ out
loud.
Count out loud from 1 to 5.
Once again hum the first few
lines of ‘Happy Birthday’ out loud.
8. Stop and check – on a
scale from 1 to 10, what number is your craving at now?
If it hasn’t completely gone yet, just repeat this sequence again until it does.
