Tap, Taste, Heal: Use Emotional Freedom Techniques (Eft) to Eat Joyfully and

A step-by-step guide to help you stop yo-yo dieting, forgive yourself and your body, and heal your relationship with food

For many people who struggle with food, mindful eating alone is not the answer. By teaching the neurological repatterning tool of Tapping, natural foods chef and mindful eating and body image coach Marcella Friel will help you rediscover nourishment in the foods you eat. Sometimes called "emotional acupressure," Tapping (also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT) is an energy-healing-based practice that pairs gentle, self-applied pressure with vocal affirmations to short-circuit harmful patterns such as binge eating or boredom eating. Tapping can help you lose weight-but more importantly, it will help you accept, honor, and nourish your body. Friel offers step-by-step Tapping instructions, links to online demonstrations, and cooking tutorials to prepare delicious, nutritional foods and jumpstart your healing journey.
