Tapping Before Eating

Written by

[Remember to tap at least once with your goal list this week. If you need help on how to do that check out tapping with goals instruction.]

This week we are going to tap for the food we eat in a way that gives us two benefits. The first benefit concerns our goals and dreams, and the second is about how our body deals with the food.

At least once a day when you sit down for a meal (though you can certainly benefit from doing this every time you eat something) I would like to you to start tapping.

Once the food is in front of you I want you to do one round of tapping just concentrating on your food. All you need to do is tap on each point 5–7 times without saying a word and then move on to the next tapping point.

After completing this quick round of tapping you will do a second round to something like this:

I appreciate this food…I appreciate that this food will provide fuel for my day…I want this food to feed my hopes and dreams…I want this food to fuel my work and my creativity…I do not want this food to fuel my worries or fears…I want this food to fuel my hopes and dreams…I want this food to fuel my work and my creativity

Tapping like this will achieve two things. The first round of tapping will help to clear any sensitivities to the food you are about to eat. (Most of the work I do with autism is based on this process.)

The second round of tapping will help us to be in the moment and give the system a very clear signal on why we are eating.

I have found that using this tool encourages a productive and creative frame of mind after my meal.

This brings up an issue for me:
How do you tap in public?
Meals are so often shared with other people and at this stage I am not confident to tap in public.
Do you have any tips?
Thanks very much.

  Two thoughts Sue:
  
  1) You can use the finger points and the side of the hand. This can easily be done under the table out of sight.
  
  2) You don’t have to do it every time you eat.

This is a super tool to have and valuable to me.
I have digestive issues and I am using it to calm and relax myself before eating.
The process & script are printed and on my table reminding me to tap and enjoy.
Thank-you.

Absolutely LOVE this process, I too often deal with digestive upset, I did it once and already feel better. Never thought to do tapping like that for food! In gratitude
