How to Conquer Cravings, Overeating & Food Guilt Using EFT

Using EFT to Improve Your Relationship with Food

- by Rebecca Johnson

EFT or (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a simple, powerful and effective therapeutic tool that can be used to identify and eliminate emotional blocks and limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck.

Traumas, big and small, tie up the energy in our bodies and cause us to feel blocked. You don’t need to spend a year in therapy to start feeling better about yourself. You don’t have to spend weeks toiling over self-help books and meditating your way to peace. You don’t even have to “believe” or have faith to experience the benefits of EFT.

It just works.

You can try it on everything, including your relationship with food!

How an Unsuspecting Email Landed Me on Tera Warner’s Front Porch

How an Unsuspecting Email Landed Me on Tera Warner’s Front Porch

-by Rebecca Johnson

Rebecca Johnson is a passionate practitioner of EFT and other energy healing techniques. She was also a participant of the Body Enlightenment program in 2011. Her participation in BE launched her on an amazing journey that landed her right on Tera Warner’s front porch! Here’s how it happened…

Something Had to Give

Last year in June, I decided to do a series of three 90-day challenges. I figured if it takes 9 months to create a life, it would take at least that to recreate mine.

Many things including the frightening balance of my bank account, too many late night trips for hot fudge sundaes and fries, processed food staring back at me from my fridge and cupboards, a very dusty mini-tramp, a lonely flat-tired road bike, zero ability to muster up any love for my muffin top, general grumpiness, low energy, unflossed teeth, and the fact that I wore my yoga pants so many days in a row the butt was wearing out, were all strong indicators that something had to give.

The Truth About Eating Disorders: It’s NOT About the Food

The Truth About Eating Disorders: It’s NOT About the Food

 - by Tera Warner

First of all, I should make it clear that I’m not one for labels and specifically protest the diagnosis of “disorders” which never seem to satisfy my need to honor the mosaic of individuality that shows up in life. However, after having listened to these labels for so long, and having accepted them for ourselves, it seems the best way for me to address the subject of a self-sabotaging relationship with food and body image is to talk about “eating disorders.”

And that’s why this week we kicked off our “Getting Over ED” summit! We’ve had some fabulous and inspiring conversations from some of the most well-known and admired experts on this subject in the world.

One of the things that I’ve heard repeatedly, is that when it comes to eating disorders, “It’s not about the food!”

I am sixty.

Depending on which side of that number you are then that may or may not seem old to you.

To me it is getting older, though I want to believe it is still young in a relative sense.

12-Day Countdown to 2012 – Day 3: Set Your Intentions for Food and Diet

12-Day Countdown to 2012 – Day 3:
Set Your Intentions for Food & Diet

- by Tera Warner

When I use the word “diet” here, I’m not using it in the sense that so many of us have come to know, impling some sort of short term calorie restriction in an effort to drop unwanted pounds and fit into that little black dress.

I’m referring to your typical dietary regime, and the foods you tend to feed your body and mind on a daily, weekly, monthly, and even annual basis.

In other words, what food choices do you make? What do you eat? Is there a pattern to the types and amounts of foods you eat?

12-Day Countdown to 2012 – Day 5: Set Your Intentions for Clutter and Personal Organization

12-Day Countdown to 2012 – Day 5:
Set Your Intentions for Clutter and Personal Organization

- by Tera Warner

Few things feel more satisfying than a clean kitchen counter and sink. The expression “taking the weight off your shoulders” suddenly becomes very real when you sort out your stacks of paper and piles of clutter.

Chances are “how you do anything is how you do everything”. If you collect clutter, what else are you holding on to? Emotions? Resentment? Excess weight?

When you get rid of clutter, other things seem to just “magically” sort themselves out, too You feel lighter, you have more space, you think more clearly.
