Ravi, there's an acupressure point that in the past has helped subside cookie cravings in me. In EFT it's called the Karate Chop point because it's that part of the hand you'd use to do a karate chop.
Anyway, in Traditional Chinese Medicine it's associated with the small intestine. When a cigarette craving comes up, you can tap the 2 Karate Chop points against each other and say whatever comes to mind. The more spontaneous you are, the better. When I was doing it, I'd simply say out loud how much I wanted those cookies, over and over. And then the craving went away (-: ________________________________ From: Ravi Chivukula <chivukula.r...@gmail.com> To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2013 8:09 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: FFL looks different this morning Yes dear thank you, I gave up for a year in my twenties, cold turkey as well and yeah been hungry as hell today but not a problem - I will make it.
