Why are you eating that? The ideal answer is ‘Because I am hungry and this food provides the ideal nourishment for my body’s needs.’ If you are eating for reasons other than hunger, do you know what to do about it? There is a simple answer that puts the power to release cravings and emotional eating right at your fingertips.

So why are you eating that? There are a lot of reasons we eat besides hunger. Let’s talk a look at some of the more common reasons:

Emotional Hunger

Sometimes we eat in an attempt to relieve or numb or escape emotions that we don’t want to experience. We eat to fill an emotional void. Favorite foods and beverages can bring an explosion of wonderful pleasurable sensations, making it easy to forget, or to not feel for a short while.

The problem with this strategy of course, is twofold. It doesn’t address the real problem of the underlying emotion or provide any long-term relief from the real problem; and it literally weighs down your body with unnecessary and possibly even harmful foods.

Time to Eat

Sometimes we eat because the clock tells us it’s time to eat. Children don’t seem to have this problem. They eat when their body gives them hunger signals, they don’t eat when it doesn’t. It’s only after years of being told you have to eat at meal times that we begin to honor the clock more than the signals from our own bodies.

Habit

Sometimes we eat out of habit. We’ve gotten into a habit of pairing certain foods with certain activities, again whether we are truly hungry or not. Hot dogs at baseball games. Popcorn at the movies. Potato chips at a BBQ. Ice cream with the late night movie. A triple fudge brownie with a broken heart.

Whenever you start to reach for food, check in with yourself to see if you are truly hungry. Sometimes we eat to temporarily relieve emotions we don’t want to feel. Sometimes we eat because the clock tells us to. Sometimes we eat out of habit. And sometimes we eat because we are actually physically hungry.

Solution:

Noticing why you are eating is a really important step to making changes that support your radiant good health. If you are eating for any reason besides physical hunger, then you can use techniques such as EFT, emotional freedom technique (a kind of meridian tapping therapy) to collapse those emotional drivers, eating with the clock, and force of habit.

Are you making this deadly weight-loss mistake? Many people get so desperate to lose weight that they will risk almost anything, sometimes even their lives. Find out how to keep your emotions in check so you’re no longer vulnerable to taking crazy, or even potentially fatal chances, so you can easily, rapidly and healthfully reach your weight-loss goals.

Why is it that otherwise levelheaded, reasonable people are willing to risk their money, time, health, and possibly even their lives when it comes to losing weight? If you destroy your health, or worse yet, lose your life to some new fad product or diet – will you really care how much body fat you have?

What makes us spend our hard-earned money on the latest weight-loss ‘wonder drug’ or gadget? Are we being possessed? In a way, you could say in those moments we are. We are literally overcome with our emotions – specifically, the emotion of the pain of being overweight. At that moment, our suffering feels so great that we are willing to do virtually anything that will relieve that pain, even if it’s only temporary.

Unfortunately, advertisers know this and take advantage of it by triggering such feelings and then offering their product or service as the solution. If you don’t have an energy clearing practice such as meridian tapping or EFT, the Emotional Freedom Technique, then you are vulnerable to being triggered by this kind of advertising, and making choices that waste your money, are ineffective, and possibly even harmful.

What is it you do to shift your emotional state when your emotions get triggered around weight-loss? Some people reach for a favorite fattening dessert, which of course is only a temporary fix and contributes to the problem in the long run. Others take action on whatever product is being offered them along with the emotional advertising that is triggering the emotional reaction, and this too is only a temporary fix – because once you use the product or diet and don’t get the promised results, you’re back to feeling desperate again and vulnerable to the next advertiser who comes along.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. You have the power to clear your emotions yourself – right at your fingertips – for FREE! EFT only takes a few minutes to do, and it’s very easy. The hardest part is to remember to do it when you feel triggered!

When your emotions are clear, you are coming from a place of power to take action in ways that support your health rather than in ways that are damaging to your health.

Do you know the one thing you must do to lose weight easily, healthfully, rapidly, and how to keep it off? Without this one secret, your weight-loss is destined to fail. Here are 7 unexpected tips to get you started the right way.

Tip 1: Love and Respect Your Body Now.

You must be loving and respectful of your body if you want to recreate its image. Many people, even some of the nicest people in the world when dealing with others, are cruel and ruthless when dealing with their own bodies. You can’t bully your body into submission. You cannot shame your body into becoming thin. It absolutely will not work, and your body will take it out on you at the first opportunity, often rebounding with even more fat than you started with.

Tip 2: Do No Harm to Your Body.

This goes hand in hand with Tip 1. If you want genuine, lasting weight-loss, nothing is more important than your health. It seems like a no-brainer, and yet when people are in the ‘got to lose weight now!’ part of the cycle of pain with their weight, they often are so desperate that they are willing to do anything to get results in their weight-loss, even doing something they know will be ultimately harmful. Don’t let this be you.

Tip 3: Nourish Your Body.

You cannot starve yourself and have healthful, lasting weight-loss. It goes against what it is hard-wired to do based on eons of humans barely able to subsist on the food that was available to them. Body fat will come back with a vengeance as your body tries to protect itself from the next ‘famine’ it thinks it’s just survived through. Lovingly feed your body an appropriate amount of wholesome, nutrient dense food.

Tip 4: Be Patient With Your Body.

It’s been patient with you for all these years. You owe it to your body to be patient and gentle with it. Your body fat didn’t appear all at once, and unless you are a master of manifesting things in the physical world instantaneously it’s crazy to expect that the excess weight will drop off immediately either. You can’t starve it off in a week with some fad diet; you can’t exercise it off in a week with some masochistic exercise routine. Stay encouraged. Stay focused. Understand that some fluctuations are normal, and have faith that you will succeed in reaching your weight-loss goal, especially if you follow these tips.

Tip 5: Notice the Difference Between Physical Hunger and Emotional Hunger.

Whenever you reach for food, check in with yourself to see if you are truly hungry. Sometimes we eat because the clock tells us to. Sometimes we eat out of habit. Sometimes we eat because it makes us feel emotions we want to feel. And sometimes we eat because we are actually physically hungry. Noticing why you are eating is the first step to making changes that support your radiant good health. If you are eating for any reason besides physical hunger, then you can use techniques such as EFT, emotional freedom technique (a kind of meridian tapping therapy) to collapse those emotional drivers.

Tip 6: Drink Plenty of Water.

When people don’t drink enough water, they often mistake the body’s thirst signal as a signal for hunger, and mistakenly use food to try to quench it. When that doesn’t work, some people will reach for even more food. Also, water plays an important role in eliminating toxins and eliminating stored fat, so following your doctor’s recommended daily intake of water is a great way to support your weight-loss.

Tip 7: Release Negative Emotions and Collapse Food Cravings with EFT.

Relief from unwanted emotions and unwanted food cravings is literally at your fingertips with the use of EFT, the emotional freedom technique, a kind of meridian tapping therapy. Using EFT shifts your energy out of the patterns and experiences that have kept you fat, and clears the way for you to return to your natural state of being thin, healthy, and gorgeous. Shifting your energy is the one thing you must do if you want to have rapid, easy, healthy weight-loss that is successful long term.

Bonus Tip: Get the Help and Support You Need.

For ongoing goals it’s essential to have the help and support that you need. As we fully enter the holiday season – holidays designed to fatten you up for the long winter and sustain you when there is no food available as was the case for eons of our ancestors – you need that help and support more than ever.

Have you ever seen or heard a child in distress and wanted to help, but been in a situation where you felt you couldn’t?

If it’s your own child, you’ve probably already taught her about EFT, she uses it herself and isn’t surprised if you reach over and start tapping on her head.

But what if it’s someone you don’t know?

This kind of situation arose when I visited Todaiji last week. A mother and her child were bitten by deer overly zealous for deer cookies. The mother, still holding the deer cookies above her head, was busy fending off 5 or 6 deer and couldn’t immediately attend to her hysterical young daughter a few meters away.

Perfect situation for Surrogate Tapping. This video explains how to do it:

As you get more practiced with the surrogate healing using EFT, you don’t even need to physically tap on your body, often just directing the energy as if you were tapping is enough.

You’ll know when the person you have done the surrogate tapping for has made a shift, because there will be an obvious change – a change in expression, a change in voice – and often it happens rapidly. Hysteria one moment to glee the next.

In the case of the little girl bitten by the deer, when she shifted she went from tearful, frightened bawling to a cheery smile saying, “Hey! Look at that cute fawn over there.” in the blink of an eye.

Thank you for sharing your healing gifts with the world through Surrogate Tapping!

In love and gratitude,

Teresa

As we move into the fall, more and more people are worrying about the swine flu. The problem with worrying of course is that when you put energy on something you are more likely to attract it to you. Simply trying not to think about it doesn’t work so well either, because if you don’t clear it from your energy you’re still attracting it energetically.

The media is directing and fanning our fears on this as well. The other day on CNN-J there was a statistic that 90,000 people in the US are expected to get the swine flu this next flu season.

Fortunately there is a very  easy solution, and that is to address your fears and concerns with EFT, the emotional freedom technique, which is a kind of meridian tapping healing modality. If you haven’t already, please watch and tap along with my  video to help protect you and your loved ones from the swine flu.

Thank you for sharing this video with everyone you know and doing your part to help stop this flu before it really gets rolling.

During our summer vacation, I got to live one of my dreams. I had the opportunity to swim and play with dolphins, something I have wanted to do since I was 18 months old, and my mother had a job for a short time training dolphins.

I didn’t realize it when we made the appointment, but until I started using EFT,  my weight would have been an obstacle to living this sort of dream. Now it is so far from being an obstacle, that it didn’t even occur to me to check and see if there were any size limits. Instead, I cheerfully and joyously showed up in my bikini ready to live this dream.

I’m afraid you don’t get to see me in my bikini though, because they put us participants in wetsuits.

I hope you enjoy the video, and I look forward to hearing what dreams you get to live thanks to your weight-loss or other healing experiences with EFT.
