But I have found that my best response is if I tap on, even thump a bit, on the sore spot(s) rather than rubbing. Is this common or am I very unusual? Also, when I tap on my collar-bone it works much better if I tap on my sore spot as well as my collar bone spot. Is this ok/normal?]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/12/right-and-wrong-ways-to-tap/feed/ 6 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/09/helping-someone-with-eft-right-now/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/09/helping-someone-with-eft-right-now/#comments Sat, 03 Sep 2011 10:00:11 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://www.tappingqanda.com/?p=163 I recently had a chance to do EFT with someone who was having a really bad day. I didn’t have a lot of time to explain what we were doing, but I didn’t know how to start. Because I wasn’t sure how to explain what we were going to do, I didn’t do anything. Any suggestions?]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/09/helping-someone-with-eft-right-now/feed/ 1 http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/using-eft-for-serious-medical-issues/ http://tappingqanda.com/2011/08/using-eft-for-serious-medical-issues/#comments Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:00:34 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://www.tappingqanda.com/?p=253 I have recently been diagnosed with a rodent ulcer on my chest that will need surgery...or will it?

I think it is talked about so much that some times we tune it out. We need to keep our eye on how stress affects us day to day. Tapping for stress is easy to do and is much like brushing your teeth. You need do a little bit everyday to make lasting change. In this interview I chat with Louise Woods about the impact of stress on the body and some simple things that you can do right now to improve your mood and your health.]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2011/07/pod-6-tapping-for-stress-louise-woods/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/12/an-unexpected-place-to-start-with-physical-pain/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/12/an-unexpected-place-to-start-with-physical-pain/#comments Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:36:56 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=3225 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/12/an-unexpected-place-to-start-with-physical-pain/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look-pod-48/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look-pod-48/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 12:54:19 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=3219 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look-pod-48/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/video-tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/video-tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look/#comments Mon, 29 Nov 2010 11:00:32 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=6826 Tapping is great for physical pain and physical issues. When most people are introduced to tapping they learn to deal with pain by tapping on "this pain in my knee...this pain in my knee...this pain in my knee". In this interview with Carol Look we examine more advanced ways to look at the emotions that are associated with the physical pain and how in many cases when we deal with the emotional issues we find our way to physical relief.]]> http://tappingqanda.com/2010/11/video-tapping-for-physical-issues-w-carol-look/feed/ 0 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/07/psychological-reversal-2/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/07/psychological-reversal-2/#comments Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:00:31 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=2509 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/07/psychological-reversal-2/feed/ 2 http://tappingqanda.com/2010/07/questions-and-answer-pod-39/ http://tappingqanda.com/2010/07/questions-and-answer-pod-39/#comments Thu, 01 Jul 2010 07:00:07 +0000 Gene Monterastelli http://tappingqanda.com/?p=2558 EFT Radio On-line.

Because of the nature of the modern world we have lost touch with our physical bodies. Most of us are not working the land, in tune with the seasons, or using our bodies for work. Just watch someone who is on-line. It looks as if they have left their bodies. It is very easy (and healthy) to reconnect with our physical bodies. Here is a great FREE tap along to find yourself reconnected with your body.
