Don't know if you watched the "I can make you thin" thing on Sky recently, but there was a thing for getting rid of all cravings - including smoking - which was to tap just above your eyebrow, then below your eye... hang on, here it is...
So I was there at 10pm, after a hard day and a pod cast for WebMaster Radio, watching Paul McKenna, and being taught how to undertake Thought Field Therapy. Along with the studio audience we were told to think about our favourite food… the food that we crave. So I pictured a huge bar of chocolate and then that really made me want some chocolate.
Paul Mckenna told us all then to tap about 10 times at various points of our bodies while thinking about the desired food, starting with above the eye…tap, tap, tap. Moving down below the eye and onto the collar bone…tap, tap, tap. Then under your arm, on the side of your hand, and finally on the back of your hand…tap, tap, tap… All the while thinking about the food you crave. Then you have to roll your eyes clockwise and then anti clockwise, then look down to the right then to the left, then back to tap above your eye… ( I think that was how it went, but it was all very fast) Anyway after a few more taps… I no longer wanted any chocolate! MAGIC!
It was either me starting to change my body’s algorithm or just by concentrating on tapping it distracted me from what I actually wanted.
Anyway, apparently this works for cigarettes as well as chocolate.
I gave up after one hypnotherapy session too. I have to say I still had withdrawal symptoms, but though I knew I was craving something, I also knew I DIDN'T want cigarettes. Haven't had a fag for three years, so it did work! Knitting helped a lot too... Best of luck!0
