What A Former Felon Just Taught Me About EFT

July 18, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Good morning!

I was stunned by the response to the email I sent on Monday. (If you missed the email, you can check it out here .) I sent it as simply a piece of information and I didn't expect what happened next.

Emails of encouragement came from all over the world. It was incredible!

One email stood out from the rest. It came from Jean-Paul who is one of my guys. And when I say “one of my guys” I mean he was in my EFT class in jail.

Jean-Paul wrote:

Not sure if you remember me. I took your class at the jail over a year ago. I have been attending a wellness peer run support group called Journey To Wellness here in NJ. I have been going there 2 days a week for about 6 months now. We do a little bit of yoga and meditation. I also attend a mindfulness group on Fridays and ocean mental health. I've been bringing up EFT over and over for a while now and getting a lot of interest. Last week I contacted a guy I met who teaches EFT and had him come meet the staff at Journey To Wellness. We will be starting an EFT group every Thursday this week!!! I can't wait.

I know…that is awesome!

I emailed Jean-Paul to see if it was OK to share his email with you and if he wanted me to change his name for privacy. I received an even more stunning reply:

I don't mind one bit. You don't have to conceal identity if you don't want to. This is something I am very passionate about and am looking to be more active in the near future.

Not sure if I mentioned but I will be starting school in Sept. for social work and cadc. I am going to do my damnedest to get them to let me into ocean county jail to teach mediation and EFT as well. It will be hard considering I'm a felon and have been locked up there but nothing is impossible.

Take a moment and digest that.

Go back and reread the second email he sent.

(Really, reread it…I'll wait.)

My first thought was “Wow! That is fantastic and so inspiring.” My second thought was, “We ALL need to be showing this kind of dedication to improving our lives!”

Jean-Paul is taking his mental health seriously.

You need to be doing it as well.

I know you agree. AND I know you are busy, overwhelmed, and don't know where to start.

That is OK.

You don't have to do it all at once.

I have a great resource for you if you don't know where to begin.

Take a few moments to read it, pick one idea from it, and spend 5 minutes tapping right now: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=434

Yes, I know you have a lot going on. But you DO have 5 minutes to take care of yourself.

What are you waiting for? Check it out now: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=434

As always, let me know what I can do to be helpful!

Gene

PS: I told you on Monday that things were changing. These are the types of emails you can start to expect!

There Is So Much, I Don't Know Where To Begin When Using EFT – I have a lot of issues that I want to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)/Tapping on, but I don't know where to begin. Should I deal with memories chronologically or should I approach them in chunks of related issues?

People Have Been Asking, “Gene, are you still alive? Everything OK?

July 15, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Good morning!

Two people contacted me this weekend because they were concerned about me. One was a text message that simply read, “Are you OK?” The other was an email wondering if they had dropped off my mailing list, “because they hadn't heard from me in a while.”

And it is true…for the last two and a half weeks I have fallen off the face of the digital earth!

There have been good reasons for this. I spent time in North Carolina helping out my friend Pamela Bruner with her Transform event, followed by attending the WDS conference in Oregon.

Oh yeah, and I moved to my new home, Brooklyn, NY in the middle of all of that.

And truth be told, only part of the reason I have been out of touch is because of all this craziness.

There is another reason…but for that you will need a little background.

The Last 6 Months

I don't know if you have noticed, but over the last six months the emails I have been sending you and the things I have been writing about have been changing, although the topic has been the same: tapping and stopping self-sabotage.

What has changed is the way I have been talking about it all. Very slowly the things I have been sharing have become increasingly
personal. I have been writing in a much more specific way about my own struggles and my own tapping work.

This has happened for two reasons.

First, it is a reflection of the change in me. Since the first of the year I have changed the way I do my personal tapping and
amazing healing is taking place. As this transformation takes hold in my own life I am finding that I am much more comfortable in my own skin, which is allowing me to be more honest with myself, with my loved ones, and with you my readers.

Second, I have found that when I am more personal I am a better teacher and you get more benefit from what I share. I am no longer talking just in general terms about healing, but can point to specific examples in my own life.

The Other Reason For My Absence…More Change Is Coming

The other reason I have been on a bit of a break is because I have been doing some internal recalibration (and the move to a new city has helped this process along). I have decided it is time to stop making gradual change. It is time for my work to represent more accurately who I am.

Once I made that decision (about a month ago) I have been working on my own courage to implement the change. I have been clearing out worry and anxiety about how all this will be received by people like you.

What Will Not Change

There are a number of things that will not change. You will still hear from me regularly. New podcasts will come out every Wednesday. Every weekend a new article or video will be published.

In many ways it will be business as usual.

What Will Change

There are few things that you will notice.

You will probably hear from me more frequently. I don't want to be a gentle, occasional reminder that you need to be tapping. I want the be the standard-bearer showing that we want to see transformation in our lives then tapping is something to be taken seriously and done regularly.

I will be getting much more personal about how tapping is and is not working in my own life. As I stated above I think this is going to be a win for everyone.

I will be asking you to do more. Gone are the days of “here is a nice tool you might want to try at some point”. Of course I won't be mean or harsh but I WILL be encouraging and calling you to take more action.

How Will You Respond?

I have no idea. Really, none.

You might be one of my readers who will love the change and you will feel supported, loved, and challenged. And because of it you
will take more action.

Or you might be one of my readers who will find it annoying, a bit overwhelming, too personal, unprofessional, or maybe just too much.

However you feel, I want you to make the best choice for you in how you respond to the changes.

I Need To Do This!

After a lot of soul searching this is what I need to do to be myself more honestly and more authentically. I need to do this to be of more service in the world.

As I write this I am at peace with this decision and my desire is to be the best I can be for you.

If you have any questions about the changes in the site, the newsletter, or in me please feel free to drop me a note. All you have to do is hit reply to this email and I will receive it.

As always, let me know what I can do for you.

The Strangest Way To Improve Self-Discipline? Tap For Better Sleep

June 20, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Good Morning!

I don't know about you, but when I get up in the morning I normally have a good idea about what I need to achieve that day.

I might not like what I have to do and I might not know how it will turn out, but I know what to do.

But even when I know what to do, I don't always have the self-discipline to the actions required to achieve it.

This week I found some interesting research on how you can do something while lying down that will improve your self-discipline and I show you how to tap to make that happen.

Check this simple process: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=9119

This week I also I have an interview with Terry Lynch. We talk about love, how we shield ourselves from others in an unloving way, and how to do the protocol EmoTrance. We even do a little work on my feeling of overwhelm with the logistics of moving to another city.

You can hear this great interview (and what it is like to have me as a client) here: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=9125

As always, please let me know what I can do for you.

Gene

PS: On Sunday we celebrated reaching 75 hours of insights, interviews, and teachings in the TappingQ&A podcast archive. I know, that is a lot of free stuff! Here is a simple guide to help you find the best place to start: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=9109

Pod #114: Love is Letting Go of Shields w/ Dr Terry Lynch
Love is an overused and loaded word. We use it for so many things that it’s hard to tell what it really means. In this interview with Terry Lynch we talk about the way she approaches the word love. In the interview she demonstrates the protocol of EmoTrance on me around her approach to love.

The Inconvenient Truth About Shame And Guilt

June 13, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Good Morning!

We all know that shame and guilt are debilitating.

When I am feeling either of those emotions I would rather hide under the covers or eat unhealthy quantities of cookies and cream flavored ice cream than face the world. (Yes, cookies and cream ice cream is my go-to for unhealthy emotional eating!)

I hate feeling guilty or ashamed! But did you know that when we feel these emotions we are more likely to make choices that hurt us AND more likely to hurt others as well?

Here is the inconvenient truth about shame and guilt (I warn you that if you read this it will change the way you approach these emotions): https://tappingqanda.com/?p=9085

Once we realize we need to deal with shame and guilt (or any other issue for that matter) we need a plan of attack for tapping.

This week I wanted to share with you how carrying an eraser in my pocket has transformed the way I tap.

If you have ever wondered how I think about my personal tapping work, here is the key: https://tappingqanda.com/?p=9093

I hope you find these two tools helpful this week!

As always, let me know what I can do for you.

How Carrying An Eraser In My Pocket Changed The Way I Tap – Tapping is not about tapping something in or tapping something out. It's about clearing away what is unneeded. In this podcast I explain how an eraser helps me to know what to tap for.

Your Guilt Is Holding You Back AND It's Holding Others Back – Over the last few weeks I have done a lot of writing and recording on guilt and shame. It is clear that guilt and shame can hold us back, but did you know that guilt and shame can hurt those around you too? Here is why…

Why Tapping Q & A Exists

May 29, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Tapping Q and A is a labor of love for me. It is a very personal site, written from a very personal point of view.

It is far from the only EFT site out there, and I have never claimed it is the best EFT site. It is simply my point of view on what might be helpful.

From time to time I like to share with you why I created Tapping Q and A, my goals for it, and what you can do to get the most out of the site. This way we are all on the same page.

Why Tapping Q and A Exists

There are 3 reasons why the website, the podcast, and the newsletter exist.

1) To Teach You Something
I work really hard to share the best of the best when it comes to EFT and stopping self-sabotage. You will notice I don't flood your inbox with lots of affiliate links or sales letters from other people. I only want to share the things that I think are of value and will make your life better.

Before I share anything with you I make sure I know what problem it could solve, for whom it will solve the problem, and what it will look like if that problem is solved. If I can't articulate all three of those things then I won't send it.

I love teaching. I love sharing. I want your life to be better and I hope that everything I send works to that end.

2) To Learn Something
One of the reasons I love writing articles and doing interviews for the podcast is because in creating them I learn something every time. I will often sit down to write an article with just half an idea of what I want to articulate, and 90 minutes later I think, “Wow! I didn't realize that is what I thought.”

Every article or podcast makes me a better practitioner. One of the reasons I create more EFT content than anyone else is because it is part of my own learning process and it serves my clients.

3) To Build My Business
I am not going to lie. This is a business. This is how I make my living. This is how I pay my bills. This is my job.

I want you to give me your money AND I want you to thank me after you have given me your money. Let me explain…

I was talking to a client the other night. She said, “I was so scared to sign up for this program. I have trouble with commitment and I was worried this wasn't going to work. I am so happy I am doing this. I can feel my life getting better. I am so happy you are working with me.”

She had paid for services, her life was better because of it, and she was happy she had spent the money!

Over 99% of the people who visit Tapping Q and A will never to buy anything and that is perfectly OK. If you show up, use the tools, and make your life better then I will be super happy.

Just know this is a business and I do sell my services and products, so don't be surprised when you receive a sales letter from me.

What I Expect From You

I know, that looks a bit odd. Why would I expect anything from you? I see this interaction as a relationship. I show up and you show up in the relationship. Here are the things I would ask from you.

1) Use The Tools
As I write this note there are over 500 free resources on the site. There are over 70 hours of audio instruction, over 40 tap-along audios, and over 20 instructional videos.

It does you very little good just to look at the tools on this site.

USE THEM!

Put them into practice. When you heal yourself you are healing the world.

2) Share Something
I have been extremely lucky over the last 6 years to grow the site beyond what I ever thought was possible, but I still only reach a microscopic fraction of the people who could benefit from these tools.

There are people who you can reach that I will never reach. If you see something on the site that you know a loved one could use, please share it.

I am not asking you to spam your address book and forward everything in the site. In a thoughtful manner, if you are so moved, please pass the tools along.

3) Participate
The heart and soul of the site is in answering your questions. That is how it all started. I learn so much from your questions and comments.

If you have a tapping question please let me know. If you read an article or listen to a podcast that resonates for you, then go ahead and add a comment to the site.

When you share your experience the whole community is enriched.

4) Consider Buying Something
There are number of products and services I believe in available on the site. I only offer the things that I think are valuable. Take a few moments to check out these two sites:

Let Me Know How I Am Doing

I always love to hear from you. I love to hear what is going well and what you need help with. You can always just hit reply to these emails from me. I receive and read all of them.

How and Why I am Thinking About You When I Write My Newsletter

May 6, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

I'm not sure if this is clear, but everytime I send something out my goal is to be helpful and to serve you in some way.

This is true of something as short as a 140 character tweet or as long as an 3000 word article.

It is even true when I send out a sales letter about a new program. When I send out a sales letter (like the one I sent last week) I have two goals:

1) To share something with you that I believe to be of the highest quality and will enrich your life if you choose to invest in it.

2) I would like you to learn something. Even if you don't choose to buy, my hope is that as I talk about why I created the program and its structure, it will teach you something helpful about the healing process.

With my new 8-month program I received a number of thank you notes from people for whom it is not the right fit.

I think this is great!

It is great that people were able to learn from me selling a program AND it is great when people know that something isn't the right fit for them.

There are still 2 spots available and I thought it would be helpful to answer some of the questions I have received about the program.

Even if the program isn't right for you I encourage you to read these questions and answers as it will help you to understand how I see the healing process which may enhance your personal work.

If you can't remember what I am talking about, here are the details on the program: full detials

* * *

Q: I see in the program that each week we can get an emergency tapping session with you. Is that really true? I don't want to be a pest and take up all your time.

A: Yes, as part of the program as often as once a week for the whole 8 months you are entitled to an emergency tapping session. You would send me a text or an email when you need a session, and we would find a time when we can tap together.

I am a very good gatekeeper of my time. Part of the reason this is being offered to so few people is because I am making myself available in a way that gives them a lot of attention and also respects my time.

Q: I would like to do this. Let's do a deal? We do this together and I promise I will do all you ask me, but I only pay you after I get results, OK?

A: This is an interesting idea. You might think that if I am so confident in my work I would happily do something like this, but in my experience when clients have not made a financial investment in the work they simply don't do it.

65% of the people who have been given a free session by me don't make the calls. Most of them never follow up, ask for another time, or explain why they didn’t show up. The only time paying clients miss calls is because of extenuating circumstances. They always follow up.

When something is free people show up to use it with the best of intentions, but since there is nothing at stake they simply stay rooted in their self-sabotage.

I know this to be true in my own life. There are many free resources I have downloaded that would do me lots of good but I have not found the time to use them. Yet in the most expensive program I purchased last year I have listened to every audio twice. I set aside 45 minutes every single day for 8 weeks to work with it. It was a major investment and I made sure that I got everything I could out of it.

When you make an financial investment in something you are also making an emotional investment. This will help you to stay focused and achieve success.

Q: I have a concern that came up for me because I can feel some deep resistance to jumping in. It's a big commitment of time, money, faith and emotion, so I know that's natural. I'm worried that I'm trying to buy myself out of my misery like I have in the past (e.g. the gym membership or other magic “fix”) and that I'll cave and fail and end up feeling worse. What are your thoughts on this?

A: Of all the questions I received in this process, this is my favorite. It is honest and accurate. It is a common concern when we are on the edge of doing something difficult.

One of the strengths of the program and its structure is that it is designed to deal with the ups and downs of change work. There are times where we (and I say “we” because this is true for me as well) are just kicking ass and knocking our issues out. And then there are times when it gets hard. We bump into parts of ourselves that we dislike and would prefer to ignore. We are ashamed of past choices. We feel hopeless about the parts of ourselves that seem too wounded and painful to fix.

One of the main reasons I am moving to this type of model is because it gives me permission to work much more closely with my clients. There is a structure built in to deal with the hard times. If clients are just working in occasional hourly sessions then when the going gets tough they often disappear, at the precise moment they most need support and to do work.

Some of the most fruitful work of the last 9 months has been achieved exactly when my clients felt overwhelmed, on edge, and even very frustrated. Those are not fun times to go through and I don't go looking to create those moments. But when they show up, we work through them and get to the amazing stuff on the other side of the pain.

In this process you are allowed to feel overwhelmed, sad, worried, and even mad at me. It is part of the healing process. I love EFT and this work because it walks a perfect balance. It allows us to find ways to deal with the tough issues without having to seek them out or throw ourselves into the middle of them for the sake of the pain.

Because there is an established structure and regular contact it will help to keep you on track, and ensures that you are tapping with me when you need it the most.

The gym doesn't call you when you don't show up. I will be present when you are knocking out blocks AND I will be there when the work feels painful. I know what it feels like when this work is hard. I know what is like to be in the middle of pain and unable to see or feel beyond it. I am there to stand outside of that for you, to remind you what healing feels like, and be the beacon guiding you to move past it.

* * *

If you are interested in joining me in this type of work let me know so that we can chat to see if this program is the right fit for you.

Again, full program details are here: full detials

Only 2 spots left!

If you have any other questions please let me know.

As always, let me know what I can do to be helpful.

The Scariest Thing I Have Ever Done With Tapping And How You Can Benefit From It

April 22, 2013 by Gene Monterastelli

Please read this carefully! I am only making this offer available to 7 people.

This is not one of those fake offers like a business that has been having a going out of business sale for five years.

Only 7 spots! (And you will see why there are only 7 as you read on.)

If you don’t want to read this long note…no worries. You will receive the regular newsletter on Thursday with links to the resources you have come to expect from Tapping Q and A.

Gene

* * *

I don't know if you have paying close attention to the newsletter and website over the last few months, but there has been a change.

There hasn't been a change in technique; I am still tapping.

There hasn't been a change in topic; I am still focusing on how how we can change our lives for the better.

What has changed is how personal I have become.

I Wasn't Sure About This Change
I would be the first to admit that I didn't rush into this change.

At first I shared a little more about my own struggles in the newsletter. Then I wrote longer articles about the things I struggled with. In the last few weeks I have just turned on the camera and started tapping.

I didn't know how you would react.

I thought you might think I was being unprofessional.

I was concerned that you might think I was making it too much about me.

I hoped getting that personal would serve as a good model, but I really didn't know.

Pleasant Surprise
I was pleasantly surprised by the response. Those articles and videos are some of the most commented upon on the entire site.

This has taught me two things:

  1. When I am honest with you I am a better teacher.
  2. When I am honest with myself I am able to heal and transform at a much faster rate.

I Continue To Learn About The Healing Process (AND Continue To Learn How I Can Be Wrong)
As this process has unfolded, in addition to learning about myself and the value of honesty, I have learned something about the healing process.

Not only have I learned something about the healing, I have learned that something I thought about the healing process was wrong.

Let me explain…

When it comes to using tapping to clear out limiting beliefs and past issues there are two extremes.

At one end of the spectrum there is the Personal Peace Procedure. If you are not familiar with the PPP what you do is write down every bad memory of your whole life and then, one issue at a time, you tap through them all. If you clear everything out then you won’t have anything left to hold you back.

At the other end of the spectrum you craft a list of goals, start working towards those goals, and tap for any resistance or issues that come up. By doing this you will deal with those issues that have the biggest impact your goals.

I was in the second camp.

You will notice I said was… Don't get me wrong, I still think the idea doing the personal peace procedure sounds as much fun as poking sharp things in my eyes.

What has changed is the recognition that there are some big issues that need to be addressed head on and it is precisely because they are so painful that we never get close enough to trigger them, and therefore they don’t show up in our daily lives.

I have learned that in addition to going after the issues that come up as I name and work towards my goals, I also need to make a concerted effort to tap for these bigger issues.

(Some of those issues are the ones I have addressed in the latest tapping videos, like the one about shame where I get a little misty eyed tear up.)

Some Of The Best Days Ever
As I write this note I am sitting at an outdoor cafe on a sunny Spring day. I am on my way to being in the best shape of my life as I train to do a one hundred mile bike ride at the end of the summer. My relationships with my friends are as close and honest as they have ever been. I am months away from fulfilling a dream that I have had for the last 10 years. I am doing the most enjoyable and most profound client work of my life.

My life is far from perfect AND I still have lots of personal work to do, but I am moving in a upward direction that is so wonderful.

This has happened because of two things. First, I have a clear vision of where I would like to head and second, I am taking the time to go after these deep core issues in an organized way that is producing deep healing.

I want you to be one of 7 people who over the remaining 8 months of 2013 has the opportunity to experience the exact same type of progress as you transform your own life.

I am looking for 7 people who want New Year’s Eve to look like this:

New Year’s Eve
I want you to imagine New Year’s Eve in 8 months from now. You are out with friends and loved ones. It’s about 11:15 PM and everyone is waiting for the stroke of midnight.

During a lull in the conversation someone innocently asks, “What are everyone’s New Year’s resolutions?” One after another people talk about losing weight, going back for that second degree, finding love, getting a new job, or finally getting the house organized.

When your turn comes you just smile and say, “I don’t have any resolutions. My life is getting better and better. I have taken control of my life and don’t need to come up with any resolutions.”

Sound like something you would like to say? (Or at least think?)

Read on…

8 Months To Change Your Life
If you decide to take the plunge, this is what the next 8 months of your life will look like:

I will teach you how to come up with a clear vision for your life AND we will craft that vision in detail.

I will teach you how to break down the larger tasks necessary to achieving your goals into smaller tasks AND come up with a plan for the vision that we have created for your life.

I will make sure the self sabotage ends. Not only will I show you how to stop the limiting thoughts and beliefs, we will knock them out in one-on-one sessions AND I will personally make sure you stay on track.

(This is NEW!) I will lead you through 16 core issues that are at the heart of what is holding you back and we will knock them out one at a time.

It will happen like this:

Part 1: Creating A Vision
You can’t get to where you want to go unless you know precisely where that is. The first step is to create a very clear vision of what you want. We will take an honest look at your life right now, figure out what you don’t like and why you don’t like it, and then create realistic, well-defined targets.

This will be done through personal inventory, detailed interview by me, and a half day session where we will create a clear picture of where you are going. The half day session can be done here in Baltimore face-to-face, via video Skype, or online, according to your preference. All of it will be recorded so you can revisit it.

When this part is complete you will have a clear set of achievable goals to work toward. (Value $1250)

Part 2: Creating A Plan
Once we have clarified your vision we will break the big goals down into discrete, concrete steps, and each of these steps will be placed on a timeline to make certain you know which step needs to be taken next. This will help you to stay on task doing the right thing (not just being busy for the sake of it) and ensure that you don’t have to think of everything all at once to keep you from feeling overwhelmed.

This plan will be our road map. It will help us to find pitfalls and emotional blocks. It will also provide us with some surprises along the way. With a clear plan of action it is easier to be open to new possibilities and opportunities. Every time I have used this planning process I have achieved everything I was shooting for AND more. (Value $950)

Part 3: Getting Out Of Your Own Way
This is the most important work we will do. When we get out of our own way we see the path ahead much more clearly because our vision is no longer blurred by fear and trepidation. The tasks we face don’t feel so big and we start to move forward naturally. This will happen in two ways: by clearing the issues that come up as we move forward, and working on the 16 core issues.

To do this you will have access to:

  • Bi-monthly Strategy Sessions: Every other week we will talk for 45 minutes to review your progress, plan for the next week, see how we need to tweak the plan as new things come up, and tap for any issues or limiting beliefs that are preventing you from taking the steps you need to be taking. To do this I have crafted two tools that will help you stay on track day to day between our sessions. (8 months of bi-monthly strategy sessions, value $1750)
  • Bi-monthly Tapping Sessions: Every other week we will tap for 45 minutes for one of the 16 core issues. (8 months of bi-monthly strategy sessions, value $1750)
  • 15 Minute Fire-ups: As often as once a week when you need 15 minutes of tapping to get motivated to do something or are feeling overwhelmed, we will jump on the phone for 15 minutes of power tapping to get you into the right frame of mind. (8 months of fire-up tapping sessions, value $1150)
  • Email Support: Have a question about tapping, the plan, or how to approach a problem? I will answer every email question within 24 hours. (I have only offered this once before so I am not even going to try and put a $ amount on it)
  • The 10 Steps To Getting Out Of Your Own Way To Get What You Want: These audios will teach you the tools I use for tasks from as small as re-arranging my living room to as big as writing a book. (Value $190)
  • Advanced Tapping Training: These are the best-of-the-best tools I use with myself and with my clients. Even if you will never use tapping to work with someone else, by mastering these techniques you will make your personal tapping time more efficient. (Value $495)
  • One Year Membership To MyEFTYear.com: Unlimited access to the My EFT Year membership site which includes 3 tap along audios a week, one new tapping tool a week, and two teleclasses a month. (Value $199)

Bonus: Share The Love
As an added bonus you will be given three one-on-one sessions with me that you can give to a loved one so they can also enjoy the power of EFT. (Value $435)

Don't Take My Word For It
Here is what a current client has said about working with me in this way:

One of the most remarkable things about working with Gene is his ability to “get” whatever it is I'm going through and then reframe it in a way that lets me move forward. Here's what I mean: When I'm working with a painful or difficult issue, I can only seem to describe it using a random, confused, and chaotic stream of thoughts and feelings. Gene is able to absorb and process all of that chaos, zero in on the underlying issue, and then help me see it in a whole new light.

Working with Gene has helped me move forward in two very significant ways:

First, when we initially started working together I was trying to overcome the hatred and resentment I felt towards my father. This had been a lifelong struggle for me, and I had worked with many other practitioners before trying to resolve it. Fortunately, I made tremendous progress with Gene. I say “fortunately” because about six months after starting with Gene, my father had a stroke and ended up bedridden, requiring round-the-clock medical care. I was able to be there with him during this time, and was able to make sure that his last wishes were honored. This would have been inconceivable before I started working with Gene.

Second, after 12 years working as a software developer in corporate America, I finally was able to go out on my own as a freelance developer. Gene helped me navigate the terror and conflicting feelings involved in making, and then sticking with the transition. Here's the remarkable thing: Instead of giving me the usual “rah-rah, go for your dreams” speech, he cautioned me from the beginning to take a thoughtful, measured approach to the transition, and helped me explore way to make the move in a safe, sane manner.
— Lee, Florida

Why Only 7 People?
As you see in the description above I am offering a lot of time and attention. In order to give those who take up this offer the attention they need and still take care of my other clients, I only have space in my schedule to do this type of work with 7 people.

Unprecedented Access
I have only offered this type of access to clients once before. If you wanted you could hire me for all of these pieces, but it wouldn't serve you in the same way. By having all of these parts working together over a set period of time you will be setting yourself up for success. This package is worth well over $8000 in value, and if you take advantage of everything that is offered you will get a lot more value out of it than that.

An Investment In Yourself
I’m going to honest: this isn’t for everyone.

This isn’t even for most people.

7 people is fewer than 0.2% of the people who are receiving this invitation through the newsletter. Or to put it another way, only 1 out of every 2000 people who visit TappingQandA.com this month are going to do this.

If you would like to do some tapping on back pain or a fear of heights, this isn’t for you. (I would love to talk to you about crafting a program that will work for you if that is the case. Just reply to this note with questions.)

This program is only for you if you are ready to make a major change in your life.

This is about changing your health, your job, and/or your relationships.

This is about getting out of your own way and stopping your self sabotage for both the big and little things.

This is an investment in yourself because you will be working to change something that will pay off for years to come.

I am offering this 8 months of one-on-one personal care for $4497 (or 6 monthly payments $849).

Like I said, this isn’t for everyone.

This is for those people who are ready to make the move right now and are willing to invest in their own success.

Making Sure We Are The Right Fit
Because this is such a large investment I want to make sure we are the right fit.

If you are interested in doing this program simply reply to this note so that we can set up some time to chat. I want to be sure that I can answer all of your questions and to make sure I am the right support for you.

ALSO, to be blunt: I want to make sure you are committed to transformation. I am only going to be working with 7 people in this fashion and I want to make sure that they are the right people. This doesn’t mean you have to know exactly where you want to go (we will work on that), but you do need to be serious about changing your life for the better AND be willing to do the work to make that happen.

Remember, Only 7 People
The 7 spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Email me today if you are interested.

All you need to do is reply to this message or send me a note at gene@tappingqanda.com

If you have any questions or need clarification, please let me know so we can talk about it.

I want to know how I can best serve you to get you to where you want to be.

Blessings,

Gene

Tapping Q & A Is Expanding It’s Offerings!!!

January 25, 2011 by Gene Monterastelli


photo by Jeremy Brooks

A number of you have commented on the subtle changes that have been happening at TappingQandA.com. I haven't talked about them yet because I wanted to make sure I had worked out the kinks first.

Now it is ready!

I am adding some premium services to the site!

Does this mean that if I don't become a member that I am going to see less free content at TappingQandA.com?

NO! This is simply an upgrade to the regular site. Every Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday a new article, tap-along audio, or podcast is going to show up on the site. As always there is no charge for any of these resources. Also, the entire archive of past articles and podcasts is there for you to check out. (Right now there are over 300 articles and podcasts available. By the end of 2011 there will be over 430 free resources on the site!)

If you are adding stuff, what stuff are you adding?

I am adding three services: tap-along, sessions, and premium.

Tap-Along Members will receive access to:

  • The ability to download a commercial-free version of the Monday Tap-Along audio. Non-members can only hear the audio in their web browser and there is a 60 second commercial that you must listen to before you can tap.
  • A printable transcript of the Monday Tap-Along.
  • A bonus downloadable tap-along audio on Thursdays (plus printable transcript). This is an audio that non-members can't hear on the site.
  • Printable transcripts of podcast interviews.
  • One bonus podcast per month for members only.
  • Special members-only discounts for digital tools and one-on-one sessions.

Sessions Members will receive access to:

  • Each month sessions members will have access to two audios. The first audio is of me working one-on-one with a client. The second audio is the session a second time, but I interrupt the audio every few minutes to explain what I am thinking, what I am doing, and why I am doing it.

Premium Members will receive access to:

  • All audios and downloads from the Tap-Along Membership.
  • All audios from the Sessions Membership.

What is the deal with the Sessions Membership?

This is the part that I am most excited about! I have been working on this part of the membership since early in September. In my own training I have learned so much from watching others working with their own clients. Being able to take a step back and watch the process is such a great way to learn.

AND this isn't just for practitioners. Much of the stuff I have learned by watching and listening to others work has been applied to the work I do on myself. This week's podcast is a short example of this type of audio so you can hear first-hand what it is going to be like (Link below).

Are you going to offer transcripts for new podcasts only, or are there going to be transcripts for past podcasts as well?

Right now the plan is to eventually have every podcast in the archive transcribed. My team of transcribers are working their way backwards through the archived podcasts. Right now the transcripts for podcast 48, 49, 50, and 51 are up (and each is over 10 pages long). Each week, in addition to the transcripts to the new podcasts, we will be adding transcripts of archived podcasts.

Let's get to the nitty-gritty…How much does it cost?

Both the Tap-Along and Sessions Memberships are only $7.95 a month.

The Premium Membership (Tap-Along + Sessions) is only $11.95 a month (which is a 25% discount off the combined prices).

How do I sign up?

Simple, just sign up here.

What if I have other questions that you didn't answer here?

Just ask!

Recovering Self – A Healing Manifesto

October 15, 2010 by Gene Monterastelli

After months of work it is finally here: “Recovering Self: A Healing Manifesto”

A manifesto is nothing more than a statement of beliefs. This is what I believe about the healing process. This is not about tapping the tool, but what happens when we heal and transform. This is how I think when I am working with clients.

You can download the pdf or mp3 book for free here:

PDF Book Version (updated 10/25/2010)

Recuperando el Ser – Un Manifiesto de Sanación Español PDF “Traducido por Vera C. Malbaski” (Thanks to Vera! )

Audio Book Version (updated 10/15/2010)

* * *

Who “Recover Self – A Healing Manifesto” is For:

This if for anyone who is interested in transforming their lives, healing past wounds, and people who are trying to understand how this process happen. If you want to understand yourself a little better it is for you.

What You Will Learn In “Recovering Self – A Healing Manifesto”:

  • Why you stop the healing process even when you know the steps you should take
  • Why others don't want you to heal
  • The two categories that all healing falls into
  • What you need to know (and what you don't need to know) to heal
  • How to stop fighting yourself and start healing

* * *

Like it? See something that is miss? Am I Wrong?

1) Let me know what you think in the comment section.

2) Tell a friend, a loved one, a client, your mailing list, or your enemies. This is free so tell the world about it. It would mean a lot to me.

You want me to think about what?!?

September 10, 2009 by Gene Monterastelli


photo by wsilver

As I write this it is a crisp morning here in Baltimore, Maryland.

My neighborhood is abuzz during the day with the return of the university students for the fall semester.

Just last week I put my air conditioning unit into storage.

I hate to bring this up…

Summer has come and gone.

It seems like just yesterday spring showers were bringing May flowers.

I don’t know why, but it seems that as each day passes, time appears to speed up.

Which can mean only one thing.

You know it is coming…

…even though it feels like it is a long ways away.

The holidays will be here before we know it.

I know! It’s nuts to even think of that.

This is a wonderful thing.
The holidays are a time of family and friends… a time to connect with loved ones. A time to head home and to open our homes.

Just this week I started working on my flights home for the holidays.

But the holidays are also a time of stress. (Yeah, I know. It's a shocker to think spending time with family can be stressful.)

It's a time for holiday parties with wonderful holiday dishes (and eating way too much).

The next thing we know it’s January 1st and we have put on a few extra holiday pounds.

We are faced once again with adding weight loss to our list of New Year’s Resolutions.

What if you didn't have to add “weight loss” to your list of New Year's Resolutions this January?


photo by Christopher Chan

There is a much easier solution.

Instead of fighting against the backsliding you ..and I.. do during the holiday season, take control of the situation now.

What's coming is not a surprise. There are going to be lots of parties and there is going to be holiday stress.

Since you know it's coming, now is the prefect time to do something about it.

Stop it before it starts!

Special Pre-Holiday Program
In gearing up for this holiday season I have created a special five-session program to help you deal with stress and weight gain, taking you right through to the first of the year.

It's my version of a preemptive strike.

Not only will it help you handle the holidays better, but it will also put you on the road to getting the body you will love.

This program is not a teleclass, with lots of other people on the line. Instead, this is five one-on-one sessions where we will deal directly with where you are in relationship to your body and your diet.

We will do a session every two or three weeks to make sure we are not just doing a quick fix, but are making long term changes.

Here is just some of what will happen in these five sessions.

  • We will discover the reasons that you emotionally eat and clear those emotional blocks
  • I will teach you kill craving in under two minutes
  • I will teach you a technique that you can use in under two minutes a day to return your metabolism back to functioning optimally.
  • I will teach you what to do before you are tempted so you are not fighting off major cravings.
  • I will teach you how stress is related to mindless eating how you can combat that in just a few minutes a day.
  • We will clean up the core issues that are causing you to mindlessly eat.

This stuff works!
Here is what some of the people who did the program is the past have said

“Still haven't eaten sweets since our last session!!! Thank you a million.” This was referring to a session 4 months earlier.

Here are two e-mails from the same person that came 24 hours apart:

“It worked! I went to two dinner parties last night and both had fresh warm rolls, and I only had one at each, and it wasn't hard to resist AT ALL! And they didn't taste as good as usual. I'm so excited!”

“I was wrapping gifts today and adding four of my favorite candies to the bags and only had two pieces, and they weren't that good, even though we only did a tiny bit of tapping on that. And I swear my jeans are fitting quite a bit looser.”

ALSO, I am going to record each of the sessions for you, so you can go back and listen to the tapping sessions again and again.

Special Deal
I am offering this special ‘Prepare for the Holidays' program for only $298.

That is $127 (or 30%) off the full price for these five sessions.

(OR if you prefer, you can make three monthly payments of $119)

But That's Not All
In addition to the sessions (and the recordings of the sessions) I am going to give you 6 free bonuses.

Bonus #1: “34 EFT/Tapping Scripts that Help You Shed Weight and Love Your Body” ebook

    This script book contains 34 EFT scripts to help you lose weight. It is just like having an EFT practitioner on your bookshelf that you have access to twenty-four hours a day. (Value $49.95)

Bonus #2: “It's weight release, not weight loss” audio

    Medical Intuitive Catherine Poole shares in this exclusive interview her experience of the metaphysics of weight. As Catherine says, “When we lose something, we can find it again. The process of getting the body we love is about healing and release. It has nothing to do with loss. It has everything to do with the healing we gain.” (Value $14.95)

Bonus #3: Holiday Stress Tap Along Audios

    I have created two very special pre-holiday tap-along audios. One is for November and the other is for December. They deal with the issues of extra food, holiday parties, the financial worries the holidays can bring, and stress that comes with spending time with family. These are built specifically to help you to preemptively deal with the stress of the holiday season. You can listen to them again and again. (Value $27.42)

Bonus #4: “25 EFT/Tapping Scripts to Manage Holiday Stress” ebook

    This ebook contains 25 EFT scripts that you can use anytime anywhere. Again, it is just like having an EFT practitioner on your bookshelf, one that you can access twenty-four hours a day. (Value $39.95)

Bonus #5: “Spa of the Mind”

    This is one of my favorite and best selling audios. In this guided imagery session you are led through a process of letting go of the emotional blocks that are preventing you from healing. You just need to sit back, listen, and feel the blocks to your healing melt away. (Value $13.71)

Bonus #6: Share the gift of EFT with someone else

    Imagine you are at a holiday party with friends and family. You hear the comments, “You look great.” “I am amazed at your will power around all these sweets.” “How do you do it?” You can keep it a secret, telling them it's just will power, or you can tell them about the power of EFT. For one of those lucky loved ones in your life you can give them the chance to experience EFT with a professional. When you join this program you will receive one free EFT session to give to anyone in your life. (Value $85)

That is $230.98 in free bonuses alone. It is just like getting 5 EFT sessions for under $70 (less than $15 a session).

100% Money Back Guarantee
I know (because I have seen it in the lives of my clients) that EFT/tapping is a very powerful tool in helping you to make better choices about what and when you eat, helping to motivate you to exercise, and clearing the emotional blocks that are preventing your body from releasing the extra weight.

If, after two sessions, you are not satisfied that you are well on your way towards gaining the body you love I will refund your money in full.

AND, you keep the audio and script book bonus as my gift to you.

There are only 5 spots
My fall is very full with travel, teaching, and working with clients. For that reason I am only going to take on five clients for this comprehensive program. Don’t miss out.

Remember, this is your chance to take control before the holiday season even starts.

This is your opportunity to regain control of your body and be health for the holiday season 2009. Don’t miss it.

Sign up now!

This is your opportunity to regain control of your body and be health for the holiday season 2009. Don't miss it.

Blessings,

Gene

PS: Image what is it going to feel like knowing that you don’t need to make weight loss a New Year’s Resolution…. because you will already be well on your way to having the body you love.

PPS:Still not convinced it works? Here is what others have said about working with me.

“I’ve worked with Gene about a half a dozen times and after each session the issue at hand was dissolved and never came back up. I was, in my mind, addicted to bread, especially rolls of any type. After only one session the insatiable craving and uncontrollable behavior around rolls completely went away. I also had a session where cookies were an issue. I would eat sometimes eight at a time without even being aware of what I was doing. I don’t even think about cookies anymore and when I see them I notice them, but there’s no physiological or emotional response at all and I pass them up. I had a session about money issues, never having enough and spending it without even knowing where it went. Since that one session, I’ve had a surplus of money at month’s end, which NEVER happened to me before. EFT is a fantastic tool. However, I’ve never gotten the results working on my own that I get when I work with Gene, and he’s incredibly generous.” – Angie, CA

“I arranged to have three sessions in three weeks. We were able to move thru many major issues quickly, effectively, painlessly and thoroughly providing great relief for me. I thought they would be long, sticky, highly charged sessions and take forever to make any headway and boy was I pleasantly surprised. This is indeed a man who is very able to navigate any issue without unnecessary drama very, very effectively. I highly recommend that you give yourself in trust to this wizard!” – Fran, CA

“Having an EFT session with Gene Monterastelli is truly a healing experience. I have been using EFT on an issue for quite a while now with little or no progress. Luckily I stumbled upon Gene’s EFT website and decided to have an EFT phone session with him. All I can say is that Gene’s hugely intuitive and wonderfully creative style in using EFT helped me enormously in one phone session. His ability to lead me to view and visualize my problems in a way I would never have thought of was refreshingly uplifting and of great benefit to me. So I would really recommend giving Gene a call and arranging an EFT session with him over the phone. ” – Niall, Ireland

“My wife and I have been using EFT for several years now and have found it remarkably easy to use and very effective. We’ve shown other people it too but having a session with Gene was quite a mind and spirit opener! We are very impressed and grateful to him for his clarity, focus, non-judgment, effectiveness and professionalism. Thank you Gene.” – Harold (and Barbara), France.

“I found my phone session with Gene to be very flowing and intuitive. I felt we were very quickly on the same page although we had never spoken before. He has an upbeat but relaxed style and seamlessly works in visualizations which really helped me reconnect with my body and view differently the symptoms I have been experiencing. He is very professional and has a gentle but confident manner which keeps the session constantly moving along. I would recommend him without hesitation!” – Molly, Ireland

“Having tried a few sessions with different people I wasn’t sure of what to expect as each had a different style. Having then had a session with Gene, it was simply amazing as he listened to what I said, and understood what I was trying to articulate and then knew exactly how to incorporate it in the session seamlessly and it was amazingly easy. As we went thru the process he helped identify and break down my belief system so that I could understand it and acknowledge it as well. I highly recommend Gene!”- Nadiya Canada

“I was convinced to try EFT because of Gene’s confidence that it would help and because the changes he’d made in his own life with EFT were visible even given the very limited time and circumstances in which I’d known him. The basics of EFT are easy to learn and implement but I have been incredibly blessed to be taught and guided by someone truly gifted. Initially we worked on my fear of talking on the phone. The fact that our sessions required the use of the phone is, alone a testament to Gene’s abilities! He is insightful, accepting and amazingly patient. Gene seems to understand me even when I don’t think I’ve expressed myself very well. His explanations are clear and his stories and analogies enhance my understanding. Talking with Gene is easier than talking to anyone else I know because I can speak with out fear of judgment and know that he will respond honestly. Learning EFT with Gene has given me the ability to do everything from gracefully surviving a really tough day to addressing and working through issues that have been hindering me my whole life.” – Cindy, MI

It was like I didn’t have control over my own body!

February 19, 2009 by Gene Monterastelli

I would wake up in the middle of the night and…

walk into the kitchen for a glass of water.

The next thing I knew there was a pile of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups Minis wrappers on the table.

I had no recollection of eating them.

If I licked my teeth I could taste the remnants of what I had just eaten, but I couldn’t even remember enjoying eating them.

This didn't just happen once
At first I thought is was no big deal, a little midnight snack.

Then it started happening night after night.

It was as if I was possessed.

I didn’t feel like I could stop because I couldn’t even remember choosing to do it.

The only choice I had was to get rid of the sweets.

Then I found myself eating other things I didn’t want in the middle of the night.

Getting a Pad Lock
Locking the fridge to keep me out looked like my only option.

BUT then I was introduced to this simple NLP technique.

When I first experienced it I thought, “There is no way that did anything! It’s way too simple. I can’t change my desires just by changing a few images in my mind.”

I am happy to say I was wrong
I can’t believe how wrong I was. I know the power of the mind. I use it all the time in work, but this even blew me away.

Overnight (literally) the midnight eating stopped.

NOT ONLY THAT, but I also found my cravings for Reese’s candy had melted away.

PEAS! PEAS! PEAS!
The technique is so powerful that I tried it on a friend in a busy restaurant on a Friday night (the last place I thought it would work).

She knew that for health reasons she should be eating more peas.

We didn’t even do the full process. Just a shortcut version!

Three days later she sent me an e-mail explaining that she could get enough. Peas went from being disgusting to delicious.

It wasn’t that she could now tolerate something she needed, but she now loved them!

You too can have this transformation in your own home!
I have created a very special audio that helps you to create the exact same transformation in the comfort of your own home any time you want.

The full process is done in two parts.

FIRST, it will take the foods you don’t want your body to crave any more and move them from being uncontrollably desirable to you having no need for them.

SECOND, it will take the foods you do want to eat more of and make the first thing that comes to mind when you ask the question, “What do I want to eat?”

Do it over and over again
The best part is, this is an audio you can listen to again and again. As you encounter new foods you want to add or remove form your desires you can just listen to the audio again.

When I do this process just once with clients it takes 15 to 20 minutes, which is a third of a full session. That means my clients pay close to $30 to just do the process once.

With this audio you can do the process as many times as you want for one third of the price of working with me one-on-one just once.

Money Back Guarantee
If this does not completely eliminate the desires you have for the food you don’t want, just let me know and I will give you a full refund. That is how much I believe in this audio!

Did you give up on your New Year’s Resolution today?

January 5, 2009 by Gene Monterastelli

When I was at the gym today for my morning workout I didn't have to wait in line for any of the machines, but everything was basically full.

When I went to the gym three days ago I had to wait 15 minutes to use one of the machines.

The reason why?

New Year's resolutions!

Everyone makes them…and no one keeps them.

If you made a resolution to loose weight or exercise this year on New Year's Eve then on average today or tomorrow is the day you will give up on that resolution.

You might not know you have given up on the resolution yet, but you have given up.

This morning you might have said something like, “It was Monday morning and that is why it was so hard to get to the gym today.  I will do it tomorrow.”

Or…

“I have been so good so far this year that I am going to reward myself with a little treat.”

You feel like you are on the right path, but you are not.

BUT, it is not your fault.

Because of there nature New Year's Resolutions are destine for failure.  

Why Resolution Fail
The idea of New Year's Resolutions is great!

We reflect on our life.  We see the areas we would like to improve.  We commit to change.

In order to do this we need to make new choices (like eating healthier and exercising more) and create new habits.

This is where the problem lies.

To create a new habit it takes 21 days.   This is because that is how long it takes to create the new neural path in your brain for the new action.

That means on will power alone you are going to have to make the right choice for 3 weeks.

That is the reason most New Year's Resolutions fail today.  We are running out of will power.

A different approach.
It is possible to make these changes without having to have super human will power.

Instead of fighting your urges it is possible to take those urges away.

Instead of feeling like it is punishment to go to the gym it is possible to make exercising something you enjoy and desire.

By dealing with the emotions that underlie the current behaviors it is possible to make lasting change.

I have created a special 5-session program that will make change something that is not only possible, but natural and easy.

The New Year's Program That Really Works
This program is not a teleclass (with lots of other people on the line).  Instead, this is five one-on-one sessions where we will deal directly with where you are in relationship to your body and your diet.

We will do a session every two or three weeks to make sure we are not just doing a quick fix, but are making long term changes.

Here is just some of what will happen in these five sessions.

  • We will discover the reasons that you emotionally eat and clear those emotional blocks
  • I will teach you kill craving in under two minutes
  • I will teach you a technique that you can use in under two minutes a day to return your metabolism back to functioning optimally.
  • I will teach you what to do before you are tempted so you re not fighting off major cravings.
  • We will get you motivated to do the exercise that you want to do.
  • I will teach you how stress is related to mindless eating how you can combat that in just a few minutes a day.
  • We will clean up the core issues that are causing you to mindlessly eat.

ALSO, I am going to record each of the sessions for you, so you can go back and listen to the tapping sessions again and again.

This stuff works!
Here is what some of the people who did the program is the past have said

“Still haven't eaten sweets since our last session!!! Thank you a million.”  This was referring to a session 4 months earlier.

Here are two e-mails from the same person that came 24 hours apart:

“It worked!  I went to two dinner parties last night and both had fresh warm rolls, and I only had one at each, and it wasn't hard to resist AT ALL!  And they didn't taste as good as usual.   I'm so excited!”

“I was wrapping gifts today and adding four of my favorite candies to the bags and only had two pieces, and they weren't that good, even though we only did a tiny bit of tapping on that.  And I swear my jeans are fitting quite a bit looser.”

I also know it works from experience
Not only am I working this program with clients I have been working it myself.

You would not look at me and think I am out of shape, but as I approached my 35th birthday I decided I wanted to be in the same shape I was when I graduated college.  My goal is to lose 20lbs.

I have a January birthday and it seemed like folly to try to loss weight over the holiday season.

This year Christmas week I attended three holiday parties, had a huge dinner with my family Christmas Eve, and a huge brunch Christmas Day.  The entire holiday there was sweets on the counter in the kitchen 24 hours a day.

This year Christmas Week I lost weight.

That's right, I lost weight!

I didn't do this by starving myself.  I didn't do it by fighting craving every moment of the day. I didn't do it by not eating any sweets.

Instead, I made easy choices about what I wanted and needed to eat.   I was in total control.

(I even made it to the gym everyday except Christmas Day when the gym was closed.)

I did it and you can too!

Medicinal Intuitive Catherine Poole shares in this exclusive interview her experience of the metaphysics of weight.  As Catherine says, “When we lose something, we can find it again.  The process of getting the body we love is about healing and release.  It has nothing to do with loss.  It has everything to do with the healing we gain.”  (Value $14.95)
