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

Pod #350: EFT for Long-Term Transformation – Practical Application Based on the Interview with Rick Hanson

by

In podcast #249 I talked to Rick Hanson about our three basic human needs for safety, satisfaction, and connection. Most of the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious actions we make are driven by one of these three needs.

Tapping can be a powerful tool in helping us to make sure that we meet these needs in a healthy way.

This week’s podcast covers firstly how you can identify which one of these needs you are trying to meet, and then how best to tap for each of these needs.

If you didn’t listen to the interview I did with Rick I would encourage to you to listen to it first before diving into the application.

Pod #349: EFT for Long-Term Transformation w/ Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

by

When people are looking for long term results with tapping they commonly run into one of two problems. Either they are working on the wrong issue for their desired outcome OR they are only working on a symptom and not the root cause.

If you are making either of these mistakes, chances are that you’re not getting as much as you can out of your tapping practice.

New York Times bestselling author Rich Hanson has done a masterful job in breaking down the types of problems in relation to our sense of safety, satisfaction, and connection. He has also developed a clear set of tools which can help us to bring about transformation and healing in each area.

When we know the right issues and we are using the right tool, transformation comes more quickly and is much longer lasting.

In Podcast #350 I share how to apply everything Rick and I talk about in your daily tapping practice.

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.
