(Newswire.net — December 29, 2014) Houston, TX — Tapping for weight loss is a powerful solution for those who want to lose unwanted pounds. Combining concepts of the ancient Chinese Medicine system that traces energy flow in the body (Meridian Pathways) with modern psychological reprogramming methods, Tapping (or the Emotional Freedom Technique) has been used for over 20 years to reduce stress, improve health, and increase vitality. Practitioners assert that it works by gently applying intermittent pressure on specific acupressure (meridian points) to release blockages caused by mental, emotional, or physical traumas. As these blockages to vital energy flow are released, verbal statements reframe a person’s perception about the pain or anxiety they have experienced, further reducing stress and opening opportunity for new behaviors.
In the last few years, Tapping has become widely popular with people who are seeking a safe Complementary and Alternative Medicine approach to weight loss.“Tapping can be used as a simple, drug-free, and self-directed solution for weight loss,” says Diane Davis, founder of Christian Strategies for Health, LLC. “Anyone can learn the Tapping method very easily, tailor it to your personal struggle with weight, and successfully achieve your weight loss goals by this gentle approach.” Davis, a Nurse Educator, has been an advocate of the technique as one strategy in the arsenal to combat obesity, but she is frank about some concerns that have been raised in the Christian community.
“There has been quite a lot of controversy regarding EFT, or the Emotional Freedom Technique,” says Davis. In discussion, she identified that some Believers have rejected the therapy because they fear it is a New Age energy healing psychology based in humanistic belief that is not safe for a Christian. “The problem with the usual secular Tapping presentation is how offensive it is to a Christian worldview by its demand that we see ourselves as creators of our own universe rather than created beings,” Davis says. “Tapping practitioners who are Believers recognize that Jesus Christ is the Great Physician,” says Davis. “They reshape the Tapping technique by applying Bible Scripture to their strongholds (blockages) rather than the using the self-absorbed persuasive psychological approach prevalent in the healing energy community.”
“Tapping for weight loss can be a powerful strategy to manage our stress and reduce the toxic chemical cascades that sabotage our weight loss efforts”, says Davis. “People just don’t know how to use it from a Christ-centered perspective.” Davis believes that offering an opportunity to personally experience a weight loss Tapping session, based on a Christian worldview, will redefine the technique for Believers, so her company is launching a free video download.
