EFT for Weight Loss

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

You can lose weight by tapping. No, that does not mean tap dancing, but emotional freedom technique tapping. EFT tapping for weight loss has been effective for many people and you can benefit from using this method.

EFT for weight loss works in the same fashion that using the emotional freedom technique for any other problem. By using the fingertips to tap along various natural stress relief, or comfort points, on the body, you can relieve the underlying issues. As you tap the points, make an honest and specific statement about your eating habits or lack of exercise with an affirmation. For example, “I do hate exercising, but I accept myself and I can learn to do it regularly.”

By repeating this phrase at each tapping point, you can entrench any idea that you want within your mind. Your thoughts will then be attached to positive emotions, and your behavior will change. EFT for weight loss is as simple as telling yourself, “I do love fudge, but I am still beautiful, and I don’t need it all of the time.”

You can address the deeper issues behind your cravings and eating habits with the emotional freedom technique as well. If you have been made fun of because of your weight or you have a low self-esteem, you can combine positive thoughts with tapping to relieve the hurt and anxiety associated with your body, weight, and eating habits. If you free yourself from the negative emotions, you will be able to control your behavior.

EFT Tapping Points

Here are all of the major points that you can tap in order to help yourself lose weight:

- Top of head
- Eyebrow
- Side of eye
- Under the eye
- Under the nose
- Chin
- Collarbone
- Under the arm
- Back to the top of head

As you feel your emotions reduce in intensity, you can modify your statements. Using the exercise example, you might say, “I dislike exercising, but I accept myself and I can learn to do it regularly.” Eventually, you can free yourself to love exercise, get rid of low self-esteem, and break cravings. It can take time, but ultimately, you can free yourself emotionally to lose weight by addressing your underlying issues.

Go ahead and tap away your pounds!

EFT for Marriage Problems

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

If you are unsure how to deal with your marriage problems, you are not alone. Just about half of marriages these days end in divorce, and this can be avoided if the root issues are dealt with. The emotional freedom technique (EFT) is highly effective in helping couples deal with anxieties and emotional problems that are damaging to the relationship.

By examining the root causes of your behavior, and your partner’s behavior, you can discover ways to resolve those problems. For example, stress and anxiety at work can cause you or your partner to withdraw, or allow career related activities to dominate time and attention. This can leave the other feeling neglected, which can cause other anxieties about the relationship. When left unchecked, these feelings can snowball into arguments that can lead to bitterness and resentment. These and similar issues can result in separation and divorce.

Marriage problems don’t have to end in divorce. With EFT, you can address each of these root issues and alleviate your anxiety. After examining the root of your feelings and actions, you can use emotional freedom tapping techniques to help get rid of the fears and apprehension regarding your relationship, career, children, and other issues that are causing strife in the relationship.

Combining couples counseling with EFT can also be extremely effective in handling your relationship problems. You can find a therapist who combines couples counseling with EFT, or you can simply use the sessions to find out what is bothering the two of you. Sometimes you need a third party to help you figure out where the problems originate. You can use this information and apply it to your own EFT treatment at home on yourself.

Whatever you do, do not ignore your relationship problems. There is almost always some deep worry or fear that surrounds issues in marriage. Find out what they are and free yourself from them. Trying the emotional freedom technique is worth the effort to reconnect with your partner and resolve problematic issues. Expose your anxieties and let them go with EFT.
