A few days ago I wrote a post about how I used EFT for Food Cravings. I did a quick 15 minutes tapping session and it cured me completely of the serious sugar craving I was having at the time. One of the things I often hear people say about EFT is that they do not know when they should use it. So today’s EFT technique is all about using EFT weight loss tapping on a practical basis.

When I first started tapping I used to get up every morning and tap along with one of the many EFT audios and videos that I have saved on my laptop. I would decide each morning what I wanted to tap on and choose a teacher to tap with.

Although I did manage to clear one or two beliefs and raise my self esteem tapping this way, I have learned with experience that there is a much quicker and more effective way of using EFT.

Emotional freedom technique offers exactly what the name suggests, emotional freedom. It is not about intellect, it is about emotion. It is a way to release the negative emotion that is causing what ever discomfort you are experiencing. Whether it’s a migraine a bunion, a rash or severe back ache, all are caused by negative emotion stuck in the body.

EFT weight loss tapping allows you to release that energy.

So tapping the way I was first doing it was really wasting my time. Why? Because each morning as I sat down to start tapping I was perfectly happy and relaxed. What’s wrong with that you might ask? Here’s a better question, how much negative energy would I be releasing if I am happy and relaxed?

Answer…not much!

I found that the going was slow because I was tapping when I was not really feeling any negative emotion. EFT is far more effective when used in the throws of the negativity you are experiencing or soon after.

For instance, if you have just had a huge argument with your spouse and you’re boiling mad at them, go somewhere quite and tap on the strongest emotion you are feeling. If its anger tap on that, if it is frustration tap on that, just tap on what ever negative emotion you are feeling the most.

My recent post on EFT for food cravings describes a perfect example of this. I was having a very strong sugar craving. If left unchecked I would have wolfed down the entire coconut bread that was sitting in my bread bin. I was desperate for something sweet.

Note the emotion, desperation. That was the emotion that needed to be tapped on, I was feeling desperate for sugar so I chose to go and sit down somewhere quite and tap, and within a few minutes the craving was gone and coconut bread was safe.

So if you want to be sure that you are getting the most out of your EFT weight loss tapping sessions, start getting in the habit of tapping when ever you feel negative emotion. Also it does not have to be a major incident either. In fact I would suggest starting with minor disturbances so that you get into the habit of noticing your emotions and handling them correctly as they arise.

Doing so will ensure that you clear the negative energy quickly and efficiently from your body, leaving you light and open to all of the wonders the universe has to offer.
