Description

A trained whole foods chef, food and body image coach, and certified Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) practitioner offers a step-by-step guide to using the simple yet powerful technique of Tapping to help you get off the diet rollercoaster, forgive yourself and your body, and truly heal your relationship with food so you can enjoy the nourishment that is your birthright. A trained chef and body image coach reveals how EFT Tapping can help you get off the diet roller coaster, cultivate self-love, and heal your relationship with food For many who struggle with food, mindful eating alone is not the answer. In Tap, Taste, Heal, natural foods chef and mindful eating mentor Marcella Friel teaches you the neurological repatterning tool of Tapping (also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT) to help you resolve the traumas that have caused you to reach for those foods you hate to love to eat. Sometimes called "emotional acupressure", Tapping is an energy-healing based practice which uses gentle self-tapping on points of the body and affirmation-like statements to short-circuit harmful patterns and imprinting. To help you along your journey, Tap, Taste, Heal offers written tapping "scripts," links to online Tapping script audios, and links to online Tapping video demonstrations as well as cooking demonstrations for key healing foods. Let Friel's step-by-step guide take you deeper than weight loss-and help you accept, honor, and nourish your entire being, whateverthe number on the scale.
