Pod #645: The Perfect Transformation Duo: Tapping + Affirmations

January 15, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

When I did a quick internet search on the “history of affirmation,” the first article I clicked on started with the line, “The first recorded use of affirmations dates back to the ancient Egyptian civilization. Affirmations were inscribed on amulets and other objects.”

BUT affirmations don't just work. For an affirmation to create change, it needs to be a useful affirmation. Notice that I didn't say the “right” affirmation. That's because one affirmation might be useful today but not tomorrow.

In this week's podcast I explore how to gauge whether an affirmation will be useful for you AND how to use tapping to supercharge the power of the affirmation.

Pod #644: Tapping for impostor syndrome

January 8, 2025 by Gene Monterastelli

The dawning of a new year is a great time for reflection and planning. We have the chance to see what we would like to release, what we would like to change, and what we would like to add to our lives.

Something that causes me the most frustration is when I have created a vision for the life I want to live and then end up not making it reality because of self-sabotage.

One of the biggest causes of self-sabotage is impostor syndrome. When you feel like you do not belong, you keep our head down so you aren't noticed. That means you don't take action, which makes it impossible to create the life you desire.

This week in the podcast, I share how I uncover the impostor syndrome in myself and how I use tapping to clear it.

AND yes, we do lots of tapping.

Pod #643: Tapping to create peace and calm – Version 2

December 25, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

In the last week of November, I shared an experimental tapping exercise of tapping along to the sounds of a babbling brook.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the experiment was received.

This week in the podcast, I have a wintery version of the same type of tapping.

I have been tapping along to this every evening for the last few weeks and it has been magical.

Pod #642: Getting the most out of a daily tapping practice

December 18, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

In episode #634 a few weeks ago, I shared with you five easy steps to make tapping part of your daily routine.

The more often we tap, the better it is for us. (Yes, that might be the most obvious thing I have ever written!)

Once we are tapping on the regular (even if it isn't daily), the way in which we track our sessions can help us to get even more out of every tapping session.

This week in the podcast I share with you how I track my tapping sessions. The process I use encourages me to tap more, helps me to get back in the habit after periods where I am not tapping as much as I would like, and how I capture the insights from my tapping sessions so I can reinforce my future growth and healing.

Pod #641: Tapping for when the world feels overwhelming

December 11, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the realities of our relentlessly connected world is our ability to know what is happening anywhere in the world in an instant.

For the most part, this is great. It is an opportunity for us to connect with and learn from people we would never have had the opportunity to meet a generation ago.

At the same time, constant and instantaneous updates on everything that is going wrong in the world can take their toll.
Most of these situations are too big or too far away, or both, for us to be able to do anything about them and they are difficult to process. This can leave us feeling small and hopeless AND when we feel this way about the world at large, it seeps into every part of our life making all feel unmanageable.

This week in the podcast I share how I tap when the world feels too big, too overwhelming, and too scary. This tapping grounds me, frees me from feeling overwhelmed and paralysed, and allows me to take positive action in my own life.
