Pod #531: Why issues persist even after you clear the past memories

May 11, 2022 By Gene Monterastelli 5 Comments

[Note: There is no audio-only version of this presentation as it requires the visuals to be fully understood. Full video presentation below.]

When thinking about the world, a common cliché that actually helps to guide the way I work is: Once is an anomaly. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.

Some years ago I had a group of clients who were working hard to clear their past issues and create space for transformation, but at a certain point their progress plateaued.

We tried everything: Inner child work, timelines, wordless tapping, and anything else we could think of to try to surface any remaining memories or tailenders.

If this had only happened to one client, then I would have assumed that “we just haven’t found the right issue yet.” Since there were numerous clients struggling with this same problem (see cliché above), I figured there had to be more to it.

With a lot of thought and exploration, I came to the realization that there was a habitual nature to their emotional response, meaning that the emotions they were feeling had nothing to do with whether or not we had cleared the right issues.

The emotions were just a habit!

AND because they were just a habit, tapping for a past memory or limiting belief wouldn’t shift them.

Here is a short video showing how emotional habits are formed and how we can use tapping to change those habits after we clear the root causes of an issue.

    This is such an excellent explanation of why it can seem we haven’t moved forward from an issue when we actually have, and how to consciously create new habits that better/best support us. Thanks as always, Gene! Namaste.

Having no contact is not the answer to this .. AS HE IS MY son. I did the process and was able to get clear insight as to why and how I FELL WHEN THE TENSION ERUPTS BETWEEN US. very clear now. why I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I WAS IN GROUND HOG DAY OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I will keep doing this process and tapping until l I HAVE A CLEAR RESULT. THANK YOU Audrice Collins .
