I stumbled upon this new show on TLC. It's called "I Can Make You Thin" with Paul McKenna. Ever heard of this guy? He's from the UK. Guess what he is using on his show? Prinicples from the Energy Medicine book to help overweight people get themselves under control. I was flipping the channels when I landed on this Sunday night and saw a whole audience tapping their cheeks below their eyes, doing the 3-thumps, and also the tapping on the back of the hand between the ring finger and pinky. I nearly fell over!!! Have you seen this? He was then explaining his whole principal of using meridians and pathways of the body to control hunger, cravings, and emotional eating. He also instructed the group to clear their chakras. Just wanted to know if you have heard about this show or this Paul McKenna? He is supposedly also a Master Hypnotist in England and has authored a ton of self-help books. Unbelievable. Other than you and the corporate psychologist the company I work for has, I have not seen such a mass audience following the Energy Medicine techniques on TV until now. I was bowled over!!!

Hi Trisha
Is this a regular show? I will look into this. I believe when the body is in balance, healthy things will happen. It is not healthy to be over weight so when you can control urges by tapping and clearing blockages, you can achieve success.
Of course with patience and persistence. You look great! I sure hope you do not want to lose weight.
Did I tell you about Emotional Freedom Technique (http:.//emofree.com
They are all born from the same system (chinese medicine). It is like dancing, there are different movements but they all have similar benefits.
Breathing correctly has major benefits and weight loss is one of them.

This fellow has been on the ELLEN show a couple of times. He was able to help her give up smoking thru hypnosis. Most recently, he was talking about a new TV show, and had the audience "tapping" various acupuncture points. |

You guys have to check this guy out. He's on Sunday nights at 9:00 I believe on The Learning Channel. Like I said, I nearly fainted when I saw what he was doing. My husband was giving me the hairy eyeball because he's seen me doing the same things only for different reasons other than weight loss. Risa, I'd love to hear your comments on this guy if you can watch him. What Bill said above sounds to be him from his description as a hypnotist. I could stand to lose 10 pounds but it is going to be the hardest 10 to lose in my life. I put this weight on over the past 5 months primarily out of grief and sadness over my fathers declining condition and eventually, his death. I usually do not succumb to emotional eating but in this case, I did. I know I need to do better and knock it off before I really do some damage and 12 pounds becomes 20 and so forth. I was rather thin before the 12 pounds so no one really notices this but me. It doesn't matter because I know it's there and I feel like it needs to go. My husband has packed on a lot of weight as well. He needs to lose 50 pounds....I've had him on everything from Atkins to Sears and he cannot stick to any of it. Zero willpower and zero discipline. Got any suggestions for him? If this Paul McKenna is for real, maybe my husband needs to watch this guy on a regular basis to gain control of his eating issues. Advice?

Hi Trisha
I was flipping channels and there he was tapping away. He is very animated and easy to listen to. Roger Callahan who created this technique (Thought field therapy) taught Gary Craig TFT and Gary Craig took this technique changed it around just a bit and added talking phrases which later became known as Emotional Freedom Technique. I like EFT much better than TFT. You can clear major issues with EFT.
Thank you for telling me about this show
