The compulsion destroyer
Are you a slave to chocolate, dying to ditch those biscuits or have an insatiable hankering for bread?
I’m now going to show you a technique that can eliminate compulsions for ever in just a few applications. I regularly use this technique on TV and in my seminars to help someone who considers themselves a chocoholic become unwilling to touch the stuff again – in under two minutes.
You can repeat this process as often as you want until you have completely eliminated your desire for that food. A word of warning, however. Only try this technique if you genuinely want to stop eating a particular food for good.
If you just want to reduce the craving temporarily, go back to tapping into the thin within.
1 Think of a food you hate – one that really disgusts you. A woman at one of my seminars who swore she loved to eat everything finally agreed that she found the idea of eating a plate of human hair repulsive.
2 Vividly imagine a heaving plate of the food you hate in front of you. Imagine eating and smelling the food you hate as you squeeze the thumb and little finger of each hand together. Imagine the texture, the taste of it, squeezing your thumb and little finger together until you feel utterly revolted. When you feel a bit nauseous, stop and relax your fingers.
3 Next, think of the food you are going to stop eating. Imagine what a big plate of it looks like.
4 Now make that picture of the food as big as you can, making it bigger and bigger and bring it closer so that it passes through you and out the other side.
5 Squeeze your thumbs and fingers together, remembering the taste of the food you hate, at the same time imagining eating some of the food you love. Now imagine the food you like mixed in with the food you hate. Keep imagining the taste and texture of the two together, a huge plate, swallowing it down as you squeeze your thumbs and little finger together. Keep on eating until you can’t take any more.
6 Think about the food you used to like and notice how different you feel about it.
