Tapping Q & A with Gene Monterastelli - Get the most out of tapping and EFT

Pod #348: Raising Happy Healthy Kids with EFT w/ Carrie Contey, Ph.D.

by

Parenting can often feel like a struggle. As a parent you have a clear idea of what needs to be done over the course of day. There are meals to be planned and served, errands to be run, getting the kids to and from school, homework to be done, and all of the other tasks that fill daily life.

Kids, on the other hand, lack the same sense of priorities or an understanding of the necessity of this structure, which means it can feel like hard work for their parents just to get through the day.

This week I have a conversation with parenting specialist Carrie Contey about how parents can manage the demands of daily life while still helping their kids to grow in a happy and healthy way.

Pod #347: Intention Based Tapping w/ Steve Wells

by

One of the best parts about tapping is how easily it can be combined with other tools and modalities. Recently, Steve Wells has been working using the power of intention combined with tapping to achieve deeper healing and longer lasting results.

The idea of intention in this context is not about the outcome we desire (for example “my intention is to be confident speaking in public”) but instead holding specific intentions about the healing process.

Steve calls his new approach Intention-based Energy Process (IEP) or Intention Tapping for short. In the conversation Steve shares how he came to use intention in this way, as well as teaching you the entire process.

Pod #346: Improving Your Performance With EFT w/ Dr. Tom Hanson, PhD

by

Making mistakes can be frustrating, but it is even more frustrating when you mess something that you know you can do, have done before, but right at the moment when it's most important to get right, you mess up.

Athletes deal with this problem all of the time. There are actions that they can do perfectly over and over again in practice, but are unable to perform to the best of their ability when they get into a game setting.

We may not be professional sportspeople, but the same can happen with any of the tasks we perform. It is easy to let the pressure of the moment get the better of us.

In this week's podcast I have a conversation with performance coach Dr. Tom Hanson. Over the last three decades Tom has worked with countless professional athletes and top-level collegiate athletes.

Where performance is concerned it doesn't matter if you are in a stadium in front of tens of thousands of people, or you are making a small presentation to your co-workers, if you are worried about the outcome, your nerves can be hard to conquer.

This also means that the tools and techniques that Tom uses with top level athletes will also help us when we need to perform at our best.

In this conversation we talk about how tapping can be used to:

  • Remove the one part that is making it harder
  • How to find the right focus
  • How to let go of the wrong focus
  • How to deal with extreme nerves – often called the yips in sports

No matter what level or what setting you need to perform in, Tom will show how you how to use simple tapping to get the most out of each opportunity.

Pod #345: EFT For Recognizing That Just Because There Are Problems, Doesn’t Mean They Are Your Problems (Pro-You Choices Part 4)

by

Note: To get 2019 off on the right foot, we're going to end 2018 and begin the new year with a four-part series on how to make what I call “pro-you choices”. These are choices that are all about taking care of yourself. This is Part 4 of 4. You can find all four parts in the Pro-You Choices Series.

I can't imagine not being a thoughtful, kind person in the world. I am glad that at least some of the time I am able to respond to other people's wants, needs, and suffering.

But one of the consequences of being known to be thoughtful is that other people often come for help. In extreme cases, they aren't looking for help, they just want us to solve their problems.

At some point it can become too much and just because someone we love it having a hard time, it doesn't mean we are responsible for solving all their problems.

We can be thoughtful, helpful, and caring without taking on everyone's burdens. In this week's audio I have a story about how I was able to change the dynamics of a relationship where I had let a boundary down to the point that it was making my life difficult.

There is also a tap-along that will make it easier for you to be the kind and thoughtful person that you are without having to take care of every burden of everyone you know. (A printable tapping script can be found below the audio.)

I know the people around me struggle…Because everybody struggles…Sometimes I can be helpful to the people around me…Because I don't want to see them suffer…And I don't want to see them struggle…And there are also times in which it is not best for me to be helpful…There are times when it is not best for the relationship for me to swoop in and solve the problem…And when that is the case…There is a part of me that feels bad for not being helpful…There's a part of me that feels bad when I see other people struggle…But I recognize that I am not able to solve everyone's problems all the time…I can't be in a situation where I take responsibility for other people's lives…Even though there's a part of me that feels like I need to help…I recognize the fact that sometimes that is not useful in the long term…I recognize the fact that is not healthy in the long term…It is possible for me to be responsible to my loved ones without being responsible for my loved ones…It is possible for me to be helpful without helping right away all the time…It is good for me to create boundaries…It is healthy for me to create boundaries…And it is necessary for me to create boundaries…I can be kind…I can be thoughtful…I can be helpful…I can be loving…And not take on the responsibility of everyone else's problem…There's a part of me that struggles with finding this balance…It is important that I find the balance…Creating boundaries isn't being mean…Creating boundaries isn't thoughtless…Creating boundaries isn't heartless…Creating healthy boundaries is a necessity for me…I give myself permission to create boundaries…I give myself permission to learn how to create boundaries and to stick to them.

Pod #344: Putting Yourself First with EFT (Pro-You Choices Part 3)

by

Note: To get 2019 off on the right foot, we're going to end 2018 and begin the new year with a four-part series on how to make what I call “pro-you choices”. These are choices that are all about taking care of yourself. This is Part 3 of 4. You can find all four parts in the Pro-You Choices Series.

For those of us who are of a thoughtful and caring disposition, it is natural to want to care for others.

The problem comes when we spend so much time taking care of everyone else, we don't spend the time and attention that we need to take care of our own needs.

The simple truth is: If we don't put ourselves first, no one else is going to.

This week I have a tap-along audio (with printable tapping script below the audio player) to help to manage the guilt we may feel when we decide to take care of ourselves.

I feel guilty whenever I think about taking care of myself…I feel selfish…I feel mean…When I take care of myself…I feel like I am letting other people down…Because so many people are dependent upon me…The people around me are struggling…The people around me are in pain…I don't want them to struggle…I don't want them to be in pain…I don't want them to have difficult times…But if I spend all of my time taking care of everyone else… Then I'm not going to be healthy…I'm not going to be safe…I'm not going to be in a good position moving forward…I need to spend time taking care of myself…Because if I don't take care of myself…No one else will do it for me…Taking care of myself is my responsibility…Taking care of myself is something I must do…Taking care of myself is important for the short and long term…If I don't take care of myself…It will be impossible for me to take care of anyone else…If I don't take care of myself…No one else will do it for me…I must take care of myself…I know that's not just a suggestion…It is an imperative…And when I take the time to take care of myself…I am happier…I am healthier…I am safer…When I am healthier…The world is a better place…When I am healthier…It is easier for me to respond to the needs of others…When I am healthy or I make better choices…I give myself permission to take care of myself…And I give myself permission to not feel guilty about that…I am worthy of taking care of myself…I give myself permission to take care of myself.
