Pod #632: Tapping to Break Free from the Weight of “Should”

October 9, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

When I work with clients, I pay close attention to the language they use and I pay particular attention to keywords that alert me to how the subconscious mind might be informing their narrative.

It is so much easier to create change and transformation with tapping if we can identify the often misguided stories driven by the subconscious mind.

One of those words is “should”.

The word “should” comes with so much baggage. It does not just express what needs to happen, but carries with it a huge amount of unspoken information and expectation.

In this week's podcast, I break down all of the extra emotional meanings conveyed by the word “should”. I also share a simple four-step tapping process you can use to uncover and clear the resistance that usually accompanies the word “should”.

Pod #631: The Yes Code w/ Carol Look

October 2, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Before we can take action aimed at improving our lives, we need to know what to do, how to do it, have access to the necessary resources, and the internal desire or reason to take action.

Sometimes you might have these four elements in place and still find yourself struggling to act because you are held back by internal resistance.

For as long as I have known about Carol Look and her work (which has been going on for close to two decades), she has talked about how to identify and clear this internal resistance. In her most recent book, The Yes Code, Carol explains the step-by-step process of how you can uncover and release this resistance to help you get to an internal emotional “yes!” and take action.

This podcast with Carol is in anticipation of the release of The Yes Code on October 8th and shares the process of clearing resistance as well as what she learned about herself and the process through writing the book.

Pod #630: The Subconscious Tug of War: Tapping to Balance Short-Term Relief with Long-Term Healing

September 25, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Do you ever feel like no matter how much time you spend working on your personal growth, you’re never truly moving forward?

One of the biggest challenges in creating lasting healing and transformation is the simple fact that there’s never enough time and energy to tackle it all. At any given moment, you might want to improve your health, deepen your relationships, focus on spiritual growth, sharpen your professional skills, declutter your space and, and…the list never ends.

The harsh truth is that you can't work on everything. And the real struggle isn’t just choosing what to focus on, but it’s also the subconscious mind pulling you in multiple directions, forcing you to deal with immediate pains and short-term issues instead of focusing on meaningful long-term transformation.

Our subconscious mind is wired for survival, which means it’s obsessed with right now: the urgent discomforts, the stress of the moment, and whatever feels like a quick fix. This constant urge towards short-term relief often leaves us spinning our wheels, feeling busy but never making any real progress.

The result? We get caught in a cycle of putting out life’s daily fires without ever tackling the deeper, more meaningful changes we long for.

In this week’s podcast, I dive into why your subconscious mind is so fixated on the immediate and how it sabotages your long-term goals without you even realizing it. More importantly, I’ll walk you through simple, daily tapping exercises to break free from this subconscious tug of war, so you can finally focus on the big-picture transformation that truly matters.

Pod #629: Tapping for a creativity boost

September 18, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

No matter how much we consciously want to focus on a task, subconscious resistance can get in the way, making us distracted and unproductive.

Part of us might be resisting tasks because of anxiety about the quality of what we produce, if we can get enough done, how others will receive our efforts, and whether we will be happy with the end result, to name just a few common concerns.

Last week, I had a task that I needed to complete but I was aware how unsettled my mind was when I sat down to work. To combat the distraction, I created a brand new tapping process to keep me on track.

Not only did it work then, but I have used it every time I have sat down to work since coming up with it.

This week in the podcast I share exactly what I did, and how you can improve your own productivity just by drawing a few circles.

Pod #628: Tapping for the emotions that prevent healing

September 11, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

When we are working on our resistance to taking a particular action, we often end up referring to the past to see if we can identify the roots of our reluctance in not wanting to repeat past mistakes or struggles.

Combing through mistakes we have made can bring up old feelings of defeat and disappointment, leaving us feeling worse than when we started tapping as we experience deep emotions about our past failings.

Unfortunately, the result of this is usually that we give up on our tapping. Not only do we stop moving forward with our healing, but it can put us into a bit of an emotional spiral.

When this happens to me, I have a simple process to get myself back on track.

This week in the podcast I share how to recognize when you get emotionally hijacked in this way, the process I use to get back on track, and we do some tapping to show you exactly how that process works.
