Using EFT for Comfort Habits – eating, shopping etc…

Over on  tappingluau.com Olivia just posted a great way to work with EFT – she calls it “tapping for shadow comforts” here’s an excerpt:

I learned about a new concept today that was very helpful and inspirational to me—“shadow comforts”.  I googled to see who first thought of this concept, and apparently it’s been around for quite a while, but it’s been popularized by one of my favorite authors, Jennifer Louden.  She describes shadow comforts as “things like too many cookies, mindless TV, web surfing, shopping for that 15th pair of black pants”…oh, yeah, I know what she means.

She makes a good point here about getting ahead and getting prepared with shadow comforts. It’s a fact, once the urge is there to shop, surf, eat etc it’s almost too late to tap for it. Almost but not quite…

The easiest way to to sneak up on shadow comfort urges is to simply and mechanically tap through the three point quick anxiety stopper sequence. This is a set of three potent acupuncture points (contained within the full EFT sequence) that are known to stop anxiety and cravings quickly and easily – and with no words being necessary. One of the biggest challenges for people in learning EFT is the set-up statement. “I don’t know what to say!” is the most common FAQ on any EFT bulletin board. With the quick anxiety stopper sequence, you don’t have to say anything. Just tap the three points one after the other and then repeat until you feel calm and in control and completely free from the shadow comfort feeling.

The quick anxiety stopper can be downloaded on it’s own as an mp3 audio anxiety reducing session for just $5 or can be acquired as one of the MP3 bonuses with the EFT eBook: The Art & Science of Emotional Freedom, which, by the way, tells you exactly how to “get the words right” with loads of examples.
