Pod #627: Why lessons from the past are not always useful

by

When we are working on healing and creating transformation in our lives, we spend much time looking backwards.

The way we understand ourselves, the world, and our place in the world is informed and created by our past, which means our limiting beliefs, insecurities, and bad habits are often rooted there too.

That is why there are so many tapping tools that focus on the past, such as the movie technique, the photo technique, and the middle school playlist, to name just a few.

While it can be useful to look backwards, sometimes trying to understand our past and why we are the way we are is not helpful and can even get in the way of our healing journey.

This week in the podcast I share when it is useful to look to the past, when the past gets in the way, and a simple way to tap to ensure you do not get caught in this trap.

Pod #626: Tapping for daily distractions

by

The Buddhist concept of the “monkey mind” describes our human tendency to get restless, distracted, or confused.

For some reason, my monkey mind has been going crazy these past few weeks. I feel like I haven't been dealing with a monkey so much as a troop of them! (I just learned that a group of monkeys is called a troop!)

Every fifteen or twenty minutes, I have found myself looking at social media or a news website or my inbox or an online dating app or what the weather will be like tomorrow.

It was as if I had completely lost control of my attention. One minute I was working and concentrating on the task in front of me…and the next, I was firmly in Distractionland.

Instead of beating myself up, I decided to do a little tapping experiment.

The results were AMAZING!

In this week's podcast I share what I tried, how it worked, and what I learned.

This is something you will want to add to your own transformational tool box right away!

Pod #625: Being open to uncomfortable truths

by

One of the most common forms of resistance people encounter when doing any sort of deep transformational work (tapping included) is the fear of what will be uncovered.

The two most common fears are either that there will be an overwhelming number of emotions that will be difficult to handle or that a previously suppressed traumatic memory will surface.

There is another version of this resistance that is less emotional and less dramatic.

That is the fear that you will learn or be reminded of something that you don't want to hear.

It could be:

  • an uncomfortable truth about your life
  • an action that you need to take but are avoiding because you know it will be hard
  • a toxic relationship that you need to exit
  • a harmful habit that is you need to give up
  • a realization that you failed in the past because you were unwilling to show up for yourself

Nobody wants to deal with these types of truths BUT if we want to create lasting change and transformation in our lives, then we need to face up to these truths and heal our relationship to them.

In the podcast this week I share a simple tapping phase I love that will make it easier to be open to healing and transformation.
