THE TAPPING TECHNIQUE


Thought Field Therapy 
             or TFT
This technique was developed by Dr Roger Callahan, author of Tapping the Healer Within and in all honesty,


it is so simple to learn that within a few moments anyone could be using the same technique to work with all manner of situations.

It has been said that “once you have learned the technique it is something that will stand you in good stead for the rest of your life and the beauty of it is that it is so simple that you can do it anywhere”.

In the example given below I will provide an illustration of how you could use the Tapping system to work on combating or reducing cravings.

If you are feeling a strong craving for a particular food and want to reduce it immediately, this tapping process can knock out these feelings in an instant. It may seem a little strange at first, and you will have to concentrate for a few minutes as you think about the particular food you crave, but it really does work.

Thought Field Therapy involves tapping on certain acupuncture points on your body. The code for any craving is stored like a computer programme in your brain.

By thinking about the food you are craving and (as you are doing so), tapping on each point in a particular sequence, you will effectively begin to re-set your brain’s operating software to bypass your cravings so that you can easily get on with your life.

The Steps

1. Focus on the food you are craving for a moment. Rate the craving on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest.

2. Now think about the food you have been craving and take two fingers of either hand.

3. Now tap under the eye about 10 times.

4. Now tap under the collarbone.

5. Keep thinking about the food you were craving and tap under your eye again.

6. Place your other hand in front of you and tap on the back of it between the knuckles of your ring finger and your little finger.

7. Open your eyes and then close them.

8. Keep tapping, open your eyes and look down to the right and down to the left.

9. Keep tapping and rotate your eyes round 360 degrees anti-clockwise, and now 360 degrees clockwise

10. Still thinking about the food you were craving, hum the first few lines of “Happy Birthday”.

11. Now count out loud from 1 to 5. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

12. Once again hum the first few lines of “Happy Birthday”.

13. Repeat the beginning of the sequence. Still thinking about the food you were craving, tap under the eye 10 times.

14. Now tap under the collarbone

Stop and check. See how your craving is now on a scale of 1 to 10. What number is your craving at now?

If the craving is still present simply go back through the entire sequence again until it does.

It may take 2 or 3 times before the craving is properly eliminated, although most people report getting their craving down to a manageable level on their first or second try. You may even find that is it gone completely.

If the craving returns then do not worry because you can repeat this process as often as you like.
