Pod #571: When the new normal becomes the normal – Healing Fundamentals (Part 8)

by

In this week's podcast we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series by looking at the subconscious mind in a completely different way.

When we recognize the ways in which the subconscious mind holds us back from taking positive action, it is almost always in terms of the resistance and fear that come up.

While this is true, it is not the only way the subconscious can get in our way. One of the unexpected obstacles to our healing and transformation has to do with the way in which the subconscious learns new information and how it evolves over time.

In learning something new, the subconscious mind rapidly turns the new normal into the normal, and then almost completely forgets what was the old normal.

This week in the podcast we explore why the new normal becoming the normal can be a block to us creating change and transformation.

Pod #570: You are a notoriously bad eyewitness to your own experience – Healing Fundamentals (Part 7)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals by looking at why our subconscious mind and memory is faulty.

The reality is that nobody has a perfect memory. Even those with a photographic memory cannot remember everything.

In small ways, this can be a minor irritant as we misremember small details in our daily lives. These memory missteps can cause miscommunication and inconvenience.

In big ways, our faulty memory can cause real issues as we navigate our day. If I misremember something as my fault, I may stop trusting myself. If I misremember myself as not doing something well enough, I might see myself as a failure.

Our understanding of the world and of ourselves is based on our memories, so it is important that the stories we tell about ourselves and the world are as accurate as possible.

This week in the podcast we look at why the human memory is faulty and (most importantly) what we can do about it to create deeper healing and more transformation in our lives.

Pod #569: If it weren’t for resistance, change would already have happened – Healing Fundamentals (Part 6)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series with a look at resistance.

Just because we know what to do, how to do it, and why it is important to take an action, does not mean we will actually take that action.

In order for us to take consistent action, we need to clear as much resistance as possible.

In this week's podcast we take a deep dive into why resistance shows up and prevents us from taking action, AND how to clear that resistance so that we can keep taking positive action over time to create lives we love.

Pod #568: Using Tapping in the Correctional System for Trauma, Addiction and Recovery w/ Kerri Rhodes

by

The Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program at the county jail in Chesterfield, VA is a beacon of hope and light in the world.

The program is designed to help inmates who are struggling with issues of addiction to heal and recover so that when they are released, they are able to live healthier and happier lives.

One of the many tools taught in the program is Trauma Tapping Technique (TTT), which is a version of tapping created by the Peaceful Heart Network.

As part of this year's 24 Hours of Tapping event we were lucky enough to have a conversation with Kerri Rhodes who works full time in the HARP Program, as well as hearing from one of the jail deputies and a number of the inmates.

They share their stories of how they learned tapping, how it has helped them, and how they have shared it with the other people in their lives.

This conversation will not only touch your heart, but it will inspire you to tap more and to share tapping with others.

It was such an honor to have this conversation and I highly recommend that you check it out right now!

Pod #567: Operative reality is reality to the subconscious mind – Healing Fundamentals (Part 5)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series by looking at how the subconscious mind's understanding of the world influences every choice we make.

The subconscious mind is a valuable tool in helping us to navigate the world. It holds all our understanding about how the world works in the form of memories, patterns, stories, and beliefs.

This allows us to navigate the world without having to think constantly about our environment and everything we are experiencing. Problems arise, however, when one of the beliefs about ourselves or the world that is stored in the subconscious mind is wrong.

When this happens, we base our action on faulty information, which can only lead to problems.

In this week's podcast we explore how the subconscious impacts our choices in the moment AND how we can transform the inaccurate information from which it is working.

Pod #566: The negativity bias of the subconscious – Healing Fundamentals (Part 4)

by

This week we are continuing the Healing Fundamentals series with a lesson that is critical to understand if you want to clear self-sabotage and take more consistent action.

One of the best parts of our subconscious mind is that it is a learning machine. It takes in all of our experiences and uses them to decipher how the world works.

The type of lessons it is best at learning are around keeping us safe. The subconscious mind takes note of when something goes wrong and remembers it so that we can avoid it in the future.

The problem comes when it only remembers negative memories, or it gives too much weight to negative memories.

That is why we say the subconscious mind has a “negativity bias”; it is biased toward the negative.

This week in the podcast we examine the negativity bias and how you can use tapping to overcome it.
