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

Gene, Stop Sending Me So Many Emails!!! (Why Does TappingQ&A Exist)

by

I have heard it a lot lately.

“Gene, why are you sending so many emails?”

Since the question has come up I thought it would be a good time to share why I send these emails and why TappingQ&A exists.

Why Do I Send These Emails?
There is one and only one reason I send an email. It is because I think the content of the email will be useful to you in some way.

This could be for a variety of reasons. It might be instructional, encouraging, challenging, or even fun.

It might be something free or it might be something for sale.

I don't hit send unless I truly think it will be of benefit to you.

The nice thing is that you are in control. If you don't want to hear from me any more you can hit unsubscribe at the top or bottom of this note.

There will be no hard feelings. Promise!

I don't want my messages to be clutter in your life. If they are not useful, get rid of them.

Why Does TappingQ&A exist?
There are 3 reasons TappingQ&A exists.

To Teach
Right now there are over 540 free resources at TappingQandA.com. It is one of the most comprehensive resource libraries of free tapping-related content on the web.

In no way do I think these are the only or the best resources online. I just hope they provide one more helpful resource to make your healing journey easier.

It makes me so happy to know that people in over 120 countries have downloaded the podcast or to know that thousands of people have tapped along to the parts of the client session I’ve shared over the last few weeks.

We live in an amazing technological age where my thoughts written in a Brooklyn coffee shop or recorded in my home office can reach people all around the world.

If you are here just for the free stuff….AWESOME! Keep after it.

To Learn
One of the reasons I love creating the content for this site is because each time I create something new it adds to my own knowledge and development.

I generally have a good idea of what I think when I sit down to write, but when I am forced to bring those ideas out of my head into full detail I learn so much.

By spending time interviewing others and crystallizing my own ideas I have grown, learned, and am a much better practitioner because of the process of creating these resources.

I hope you get half as much out of this as I do.

To Make A Living
I know it might be hard to believe, but this is how I make my living. I don't have an employer. I don't have someone providing benefits. If I don't bring it in, it doesn't come in.

That is the reason why I sell products, charge for private sessions, have a paid membership site, and work with long term clients one-on-one.

From time to time I hear from people who say, “How dare you charge for something that should be free like EFT! It was given to you and you should give it away as well.”

It is true, I could run TappingQ&A and not charge for anything, but that would mean that I’d need another job to pay my bills. If that were the case I wouldn't be able to spend as much time as I do creating the free resources available on the site.

If you are offended by the fact that I sell stuff or you think your inbox is being flooded with sales letters then please unsubscribe. It won't hurt my feelings.

What Can You Do?
As reader of the TappingQ&A resources I would ask a few things of you.

Use The Resources
Don't just read, watch, and listen. Put it into practice. It is not how much you know about tapping that matters. It is how much you use it. After you read something on the site, give it a try.

Share The Resources
It would mean a great deal to me if you would pass one of the great free resources along to the people in your life. I'm not asking you to spam your address book or send it to everyone you know.

If there is something from the site you think would be helpful to a loved one, please take a moment to pass it along to them. You will reach people I am never going to reach. It won’t cost you anything but a few seconds, but it could make a real difference in their life.

Consider Buying Something
Invest in the advanced tapping. Work with me one-on-one on that issue you just can't shake. Join the membership site that gives you access to over 150 resources.

It is all really good stuff that I think will make your life better. I wouldn't offer it if I didn't it was of the best quality.

Over 99% of the people who visit TappingQ&A don't buy a thing. And that is perfectly OK.

If that is you and you are getting lots of great stuff from the site, please keep coming back again and again.

I am not telling you have to or need to buy something. Just asking that you consider it.

You know who I am, what I stand for, and what I think is important in the healing process.

If that is something you think will be helpful for you, I would be honored to help you in that way.

Clearing The Air
I hope this note clears the air so you know where I am coming from and why I do what I do.

As always, you can let me know how I can be helpful by just hitting reply to this note.

Blessings,

Gene

Tapping To Feel Better (And Why That Isn’t Always A Good Thing)

by

I think one of the reasons that tapping is so appealing is because it is so easy to use and it produces relief very quickly.

The first time I experienced the true power of tapping out in the wild (as opposed to being in a training session) was when I woke up in the middle of the night with a massive headache. It felt as if a dagger had been stuck into the top of my head.

I started tapping. 60 seconds later I was pain free and 90 seconds later I was asleep.

It is truly an amazing thing that we have at our fingertips: a tool that we can use to find our way to relief any time and anywhere.

But this isn't always a good thing. Let me explain…

Pod #122: Ask The Expert w/ Gene Monterastelli

by


In December I was the guest on the Tapping Solution's monthly ‘Ask The Expert’ call. We answered questions about anger, fear of finding work, how to tap for the fear that comes up when physical symptoms persist, how to tap for feeling overwhelmed, and what to do when we keep sabotaging our own success.

Thanks to Kris (and the callers) for such a great time.

If you missed the call you can hear the whole thing here.

If you enjoy this type of opportunity to hear Gene answering questions about tapping you can do it every month at the Ruach Center. Every month Gene hosts a teleclass where he answers all your questions. For more information and how to gain access to those calls and over 150 tap-along audios and other tools check out the details.

The Best Of 2013 @ TappingQandA.com

by

2013 was the busiest year yet at TappingQandA. Thank you for taking the time to listen, read, tap along, and comment. Here are some of the best of, most commented upon, and some of my personal favorites of the year.

I would love to hear what you liked over the past year!

My Holiday Embarrassment – Last year during the holiday season I learned a valuable lesson about what is important to me and how I can care for others. This is worth a re-read to remind us of what we can do day to day for other.

EFT for Shame – This short tap-along video was the most commented upon post of the year. Shame can be a crippling emotion and this video will help you to find relief.

When EFT Goes Wrong – Sometimes we take healing, EFT, and ourselves a little too seriously. This should give you a chuckle.

FasterEFT – This interview with FasterEFT creator Robert Smith was the most controversial post of the year. Robert has a unique perspective on the healing process with tapping as you can hear in this thought provoking conversation.

Fear Of Rejection In The Age Of Invitation – This conversation with Rick Wilkes was the most downloaded podcast of the year. It is a great look at how we can connect with others in more meaningful ways.

Is It OK To Say ‘Not' While Tapping? – We are repeatedly told not to use negative statements when we are tapping because the subconscious doesn't hear or understand the word ‘not’. I dug into the scientific research to see if this is true and how the word ‘not’ impacts our tapping. The results are surprising.

Everything I Needed To Know About Manifesting I Learned From Good Will Hunting – Personally, I think we have wrecked the word manifesting. It has been used in so many ways by so many people it doesn't mean anything useful anymore. Here is everything I think you need to know about manifesting.

Not Everything That Feels Personal Is Personal – Just because something hurts us in a personal way does not mean it was a personal attack. It is helpful to know the difference between something that is personal and something that feels personal when we are trying to heal.

My Ego Gets In The Way Of My Healing – I learned a valuable lesson this year about my ego and how it hurts the healing processes because of something that happened on Facebook.

2 Surprisingly Different Outcomes From Tapping – There are two types of results that can come from “successful” tapping sessions. This realization changed the way I tapped.

The First Tool I Teach After I Teach The EFT Basics

by

Good Morning!

Every day I receive emails from all over the world asking me questions about tapping and how to best use to use it. As I talked about last week (last week's newsletter) I love getting these questions.

To help manage my time better I set aside a couple of hours every few days to answer all the emails at once.

After doing a few client calls on Saturday morning I was doing just that and something strange happened. I sent eleven emails with the exact same link in the email. I hadn't received the same question eleven times, but eleven different tapping questions led me to the same resource.

After you know the basics of tapping this is the most powerful tool I know!

The reason it is the answer to some many different questions is because it is all about relationships.

It can be used when tapping about people close to you, like your immediate family.

It can be used when tapping about people you barely know, like a loan officer or a person at the DMV.

It can be used when tapping about people you will never see again, like passed on relatives.

I really believe this is the most powerful tool in my tapping arsenal!

I recorded a short instructional audio a few years ago explaining the three simple steps to the process.
