Have you frequently tried to lose weight? Have you lost weight and gained it back over and over again? Isn’t it fun to be with you when you’re on a diet? Have you tried everything but have never been able to achieve lasting results?
Perhaps you are energetically changed.
The old dysfunctional beliefs we hold about our bodies can be kept at bay during the good times, but ongoing stress and trauma in a person’s life can trigger these beliefs and inappropriate behavior returns. Take, for example, these three different reactions to a scenario where a husband leaves his overweight housewife for a younger, more attractive woman. One woman becomes angry and hostile, taking out her frustration on the world, another takes charge of her life, loses weight, changes her clothes and hairstyle, and finds an exciting new job while a third gives up, quits. sit in front of the television eating chocolates. and she gets fatter. These very diverse reactions have completely different core messages about what relationships are all about and how to function in a crisis. Then, the person plays his life based on the fundamental beliefs that are held deep in the subconscious.
The first expression of an emotion, whether positive or negative, is a change in the electrical state of the body. There is now a large body of research supporting the idea that in addition to having a physical body that feeds on food, humans also run on an intricate energy system that is powered by electrical impulses that circulate through the body. Chinese doctors have been using acupuncture points on this energy system for at least 5,000 years. The key to many of the disturbances we experience in our daily lives lies in this system.
Energy patterns are configured throughout life. Many of these are collected when we are children. From birth to two years our brain waves are at the delta level (1-4 cycles/sec associated with unconsciousness), from two to twelve years the levels move from theta (4-8 cycles/sec associated with deep unconsciousness). relaxation and deep sleep) to alpha (8-14 cycles/sec associated with daydreaming, meditation, hypnosis) and then to beta (14-25 cycles/sec associated with standard movement and awareness). During this period, our mind is extremely suggestible and we are mesmerized by everything we see, hear, feel, taste and touch. Our beliefs about the world, marriage, family, work, etc., are formed, either positively or negatively. Throughout life, as we experience frightening traumatic events, we feel more vulnerable and create more energetic imbalances.
Being changed is an imbalance of polarity around a certain area in one’s life. This concept (described as psychologically reversed by California psychologist Roger Callahan, who discovered Thought Field Therapy) originated in Applied Kinesiology. Psychological reversal, or being changed, is caused by self-defeating negative thinking that results in constant internal conflict between what the person says they want and underlying deep negative beliefs.
Fear beliefs about being thin, for example, can lie dormant but affect everyday decisions. They help define who we are, how we live, and how we view the world around us. Consider these body-conscious beliefs about weight, which can be a sign of conflict between the intellectual mind and programmed beliefs about thinness.
Beliefs that contribute to your holding on to stored energy (fat):
- I don’t deserve to be happy with my body.
- My weight prevents me from gaining more
- It is not safe for me if I lose weight.
- My weight prevents me from making changes in my life
- Other family members are overweight and that is my fate.
- Staying fat helps me not have feelings
- My size allows me to avoid certain sports, hobbies, or events.
- I avoid some social situations because of my weight.
- If I stopped eating ice cream, cakes, etc., it would be like losing a friend.
- My weight allows me to be passive, contain myself, etc. etc
For every negative belief on the list, there is an opposite positive belief that can be substituted.
Every diet you tried was an outside job. He was asked to get in shape and act outwardly: eat low-fat foods, exercise more, and drink large amounts of water. The energetic approach to getting rid of stored energy is an inside job.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a form of energy psychology that can be used to free you from emotional and physical problems that prevent you from becoming and staying naturally thin. You can learn to use this innovative procedure on yourself to release stress, cravings, eating triggers, self-esteem issues, and quickly regain emotional balance. It is a method of effectively responding to our inner being so that healthy living is a natural extension of vitality and balance in mind, body, and spirit.
EFT holds that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. With remarkable consistency, EFT relieves symptoms through a routine of fingertip tapping on specific points on the energy meridians while thinking or feeling an issue or problem. This then neutralizes interruptions in the body’s electrical system.
Many energetic imbalances can be partially or completely alleviated in a short time using this process. Others may require repetition. The most complicated problems often have several different layers or aspects that will need to be balanced in turn. The idea is simply to persist until all relevant aspects have been neutralized and released. The results are usually long-lasting. EFT often provides relief where other techniques fail and has a high success rate, typically 80-90% or better.
To get rid of stored energy, you must address the root cause. Like any other addiction, food addiction is driven by anxiety. How many times have you raided the fridge or eaten that late-night snack even though you weren’t hungry? Your reasoning may have been boredom or loneliness, but it was nonetheless a form of anxiety. The anxiety that drives an addiction to food or any other substance or behavior can originate anywhere. It can come from abusive childhood experiences, traumatic memories, or stress in the family or workplace. To get rid of your stored energy, you must eliminate the anxiety that is driving the overeating behavior. What better tool to use than EFT!
Your weight problem will be solved by achieving balance in body, mind and lifestyle. You can’t do that by trying ANOTHER new diet program, starving yourself, or buying the latest low-fat foods. You do it. The way you do it is to get out your bag of EFT tools and tap away those harsh negative thoughts, impossible expectations, and silly excuses about the way you eat. Balance your body, mind, and lifestyle, keep your fingers on the pulse of your inner life, and get on with your business of living the life of a naturally thin person.
