I have found that my clients have had so much success with the Metabolic Balance® program (no longer offered at the Little Mountain Homeopathy clinic) but only if they stick with the plan. The biggest challenge most of my clients face while on the program is breaking their old eating habits and combating sugar cravings. Even though clients know consciously that healthy eating is good for them, their subconscious mind wants to self-sabotage.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a great way for clients to access their subconscious mind in order to form new, healthier eating habits. Once the subconscious mind has been reprogrammed using EFT, it is easier for clients are able to stick to their Metabolic Balance® plan without wanting to go back to their old, unhealthy eating habits. EFT works, it’s very easy to use, and there is no shortage of easily accessible free information online about how to use it.
What is EFT?
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure. Acupuncture energy meridians are activated by tapping acupuncture points on the body, while at the same time, voicing of positive affirmations in order to remove the psychological block around the particular issue that one is struggling with. Sugar cravings are one good example of a psychological block that can be helped with EFT, because EFT will access and remove the subconscious block around the craving for sugar instead of the craving for healthier foods.
How do I use EFT?
Tapping is done with the fingers, and takes only a few minutes to learn. The 9 tapping points are at the top of the head, on the eyebrow, the side of the eyes, under the eye, under the nose, the chin, collar bone, under the arm (sides of the ribcage) and beside the wrists (“karate chop” point).
While tapping with the fingers on the 9 points in numerical order (spend a few seconds on each point), the following affirmation statements should be said aloud: “Even though I have this (fill in the blank with what is to be worked on e.g. sugar craving), I deeply and completely accept myself.” Keep tapping the points and saying the affirmation until you feel that the issue has dissipated.
It’s really that simple, and it works! It’s also useful for any emotional program, not just weight loss issues.
