Pod #559: Two questions I always ask when tapping – Finding Root Causes (Part 1)

May 17, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Just because we know what to do, how to do it, and have everything we need to take action, it doesn't mean we actually take action.

For me, this is one of the most frustrating places to be because it is clear that I am set up for success AND I am the one getting in my own way.

The tricky part of this situation is identifying the resistance hindering us from taking action because it is seldom obvious.

We wind up frustrated and confused by our inaction, and then we beat ourselves up for not taking action.

This week in the podcast I share two simple questions you can ask yourself to help uncover the root causes of your reluctance to move forward. I use these questions every day when tapping on my own and when working with clients.

    Hey Gene,

    thanks for this message today about the 2 phrases you always ask when tapping. I did your visualization and it took me down a pretty good rabbit whole that brought up a lot for me to tap on. A few things happened. First some words came, then some emotions – then came a memory that attached to the emotions but then came an even deeper belief that seemed to tie it all together, as if it were the root cause, but who can say? I will have to tap further on it. I wanted to share something. You mentioned that we cannot communicate with the subconscious mind. We can if we energy test, or some call muscle test. I am an EFT practitioner but also an Emotion Code practitioner. I communicate via permission and energy testing to find if people have trapped emotions in their bodies. After doing your imagination process, 2 beliefs showed up for me and I decided then, to open my eyes, stand up and test to see if my SCM agreed, that it was holding these 2 beliefs. I got a “yes” for both beliefs and I even asked on a scale of 1-10 how much my SCM resonated with the belief, one was a 7, the other a 6. After about 15 minutes of tapping, the first belief was gone. The second led me down another rabbit whole and I am currently tapping through it all. Anyways, thanks for sharing that process. Lara
