The Tapping Technique

Help for Food Cravings

You might want to make sure you are in a quiet place to do this as it's an unusual technique but I have seen it work very well many times!

1. Think of the biggest desire for a food that you can. You might need to come back to this when you actually have the craving in order for it to be more sucessful.
2. Focus on this craving and then rate your desire for a food on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest. This is important so you can have an idea of 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 is not above a 7 come back to this technique later.
4. Now take two fingers of either hand and tap about 10 times under your collarbone while you continue to think about the craving.
5. Tap under your eye ten times.
6. Tap under your collarbone again.

1. Next 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:
2. 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 counterclockwise.
• 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.
• Again hum the first few lines of ‘Happy Birthday’ out loud.

8. Now on a scale from 1 to 10, what number is your craving at? If it hasn’t completely gone yet, just repeat this sequence again until it does.
