Banishing Cravings? Try Temporal PopTarts™
As I was walking in my local supermarket the other day, I happened into the aisle which carries nuts. Now the aisle that carries nuts had never before carried any snack foods, but the store had re-arranged their shelves and right next to the nuts I wished to buy, were Poptarts™ Toaster Pastries. In the old, old days when I ate whatever put itself in front of my mouth, I would have cherished a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptart™. Secondarily, a Frosted Cherry. Years ago, I would have bought and eaten the whole box in several days. As I looked at these relics from the past, a small intensity rose around the idea that I would like to eat a Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptart™. Mmm, mmm good, I thought. And as I had this thought, I began to Temporal Tap along the channel above my ear, tapping right around from the front of the ear down to my earlobe, in back of my ear. I thought “mmm, mmm, good” and “Brown Sugar Cinnamon Poptarts™ hot from the toaster are sweet and melty and GOOD - gosh I’d love to taste one now!” tap-tapping all the while. I tapped first the left ear then the right. When I no longer had any craving for that flavor of Poptart™, I went on to the Frosted Cherry variety and did the same thing. A couple of seconds - maybe 30 or 45, is all it took.
Nada craving in sight.
Try this technique with the foods you love, crave and choose not to eat anymore to maintain a healthy lifestyle. My stoppers are milk-based food of any kind such as sour cream, buttermilk and half-n-half. Also some particular kinds of sweet-and-carb combinations like Poptarts™. What are yours? Take the opportunity next time you’re in a store to get rid of cravings on the run!
Hot Tip: The bigger and juicier and more real you can make your “craving experience”, the deeper and more complete will be its removal using this technique. For example: “this creamy pudding, this bitter yet succulent piece of dark chocolate, this rich, deep earthy tasting peanut butter that feels so safe/warm/lovely to me” etc. As I wheeled my cart around the store, I did the Temporal Tap on all the other foods I passed and have had severe cravings for, right there in the store. While most of these foods have not been a problem for me for some time, I did discover that a couple of them had some intensity on them - which was quickly tapped down with “The Poptart™ Craving Cure”.
