Thought Field Therapy or TFT
Developed by Dr Roger Callahan, author of Tapping the Healer Within
If you are feeling a strong craving for a particular food and want to reduce it immediately, this tapping process can knock out these feelings in an instant. It may seem a little strange at first, and you will have to concentrate for a few minutes as you think about the particular food you crave, but it really does work.
Thought Field Therapy involves tapping on certain acupuncture points on your body. The code for any craving is stored like a computer programme in your brain. By thinking about the food you are craving while tapping one ach point in a particular sequence, you re-set your brain's operating software to bypass your cravings so you can easily get on with your life.
The technique works like this: Focus on the food you are craving for a moment. Rate the craving on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest.
Now think about the food you have been craving and take two fingers of either hand. Tap about 10 times firmly above on of your eyes. Now tap under the eye. Now tap under the collarbone and under the armpit. Place your hand in front of you and tap on the back of it between the knuckles of your ring and little finger.
Open your eyes and then close them. Keep tapping, open your eyes, look down to the right and down to the left. Keep tapping and rotate your eyes round 360 degrees anti-clockwise.
Still thinking about the food you were craving, hum the first few lines of a tune such as Happy Birthday. Then count out loud from 1 to 5. Once again hum the first few lines of Happy Birthday.
Repeat the beginning of the sequence. Still thinking about the food you were craving, tap under each eye 10 times. Now tap under the collarbone and under the armpit. Stop and check. See how your craving is now on a scale of 1 to 10. If it hasn't gone yet, simply go back through the entire sequence again until it does. It may take 2 or 3 times before the craving is properly eliminated. If it ever comes back, you can repeat this process as often as you like.
