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

Fail Forward Fast

by

A few weeks ago I wrote about the main reasons we don't take action is fear.

Of all the fears we experience the one my clients talk about most is the fear of failure and the consequences that come with failure, such as the waste of time, feeling embarrassed that others have seen us fail, and missing an opportunity, to name just a few.

The truth is that often failing is the best thing that can happen to us because of how much we learn about failure.

Ready! Fire! Aim!

There is a common misconception about the skill of sharpshooters. Most people believe that they are so skilled and prepare so much for a shot that when they fire they are prefect.

In reality, particularly for long distance shots, they quickly line up the best shot they can and once they have fired, they follow the trajectory of the bullet. When they see where their first shot lands they have a better understanding of the conditions (like wind). They rapidly adjust and fire again.

The second bullet is fired so quickly that their target hasn't had a chance to respond to the first shot.

You could see the first shot as a failure as it missed the target, but because a lot was learned from the first shot, the second is much more precise.

Fail Forward Fast

When successful business men and women are asked what they would do differently in growing their businesses a common response is, “I would have made my mistakes much quicker. I didn't know what I didn't know and my assumptions were flawed. Only through trial and error did I find my way to the right path.”

In the first press conference after Cam Cameron was hired as head coach of the Miami Dolphins he declared that the team was going to “fail forward fast”. He was setting the tone for his players and coaches that mistakes were OK as long as they were made in the right direction and lessons were learned from them.

Not Failing For Failure's Sake

It’s important to note in the sharpshooter example that the first shot is fired with thought, training, and experience. Once a reasonable shot is lined up feedback is gathered from the results.

When we take action we are not doing it mindlessly or carelessly. We are not seeking failure just so we can claim progress from it.

Instead we are doing enough planning to take a reasonable action that will move us forward and if we do fail we will also have the opportunity to learn from it.

Here is a simple way to tap to help you to take action when the fear of failure is holding you back:

There is a part of me that is afraid that I will fail…Failure is no fun..Failure hurts…Failure shows others I can't do this…Failure is a waste of time…Failure is a waste of an opportunity…Because I am worried about failure I am not taking action…I recognize the fact that everything I can do today…At some point I couldn't do it…And I failed many times while learning how to do it…When I fail I am gaining real world experience…And that will help me to make better choices next time…I will never get it perfect by planning and planning and planning…At some point I need to take action…I am not going to be careless…And I am not going to be thoughtless…I give myself permission to take action knowing I won’t be perfect…Because I can make progress and be successful without having to be perfect…I have survived failure before and I will survive it again…I am not failing just to fail…I am not seeking failure…But when it happens I will make the most of it.

Clearing The Fear

If you are looking for help clearing the fears (named and unnamed) you have before taking action I would encourage you to check out the Ruach Center where you will find over 280 tap-along audios, with over 100 of them geared towards clearing resistance to action which shows up in the form of fear.

There are over 45 minutes of tap-along audios geared to dealing with the fear of failure and over 30 minutes designed specifically to clear the need to be perfect before taking action.

Pod #133: EFT For Our Goal w/ Steve Wells

by

I love having conversations with Steve Wells. When we started this one we decided that we’d talk about how we can use tapping to improve the quality of our working lives.

In the end we used the issues and obstacles we face at work to explore a much larger topic of how we can use tapping to take action AND how we can use taking action to help us uncover those things we need to tap on.

It turned into a great discussion about goals.

Put simply, if you would like to take actions to improve your life and are having a hard time doing so, then you should listen to this conversation.

Bonus Pod #46: Tapping To Get Your To-Do List Done

by

One of the most powerful things I have done to improve my productivity is spending a few moments every morning tapping on my to-do list.

When I clear away all the emotional resistance to the items on my to-do list I find myself easily able to take action throughout the day.

I have also found that I do the highest value tasks first, making sure I achieve the most of my time.

I was talking about this technique recently at the Spring Energy Event in New York and my friend Kris Ferraro was in the audience. Kris does all the interviews for the Tapping Insiders Club and she asked if I would explain in detail how I use the technique.

Here is our conversation so you can add it to your morning as well.

Over in the Ruach Center we have over 200 tap-along audios dealing with resistance to taking action.

Just Because We Can Try It On Anything Doesn’t Mean It Works For Everything

by

I love the emails that I receive from my readers. (You can always email me directly.)

At least once a day I receive some version of the question: “What are the tapping phrases I should use for [insert issues]?”

This question is flawed in two ways.

First, the words we use are not magic. There are no “right” words to tap to. (I address this in “The Most Misunderstood Part Of Tapping: The Words You Say”.)

Second, there are times when tapping isn't going to solve the problem.

For example, one of my clients recently started our session with, “I am having trouble sitting down to build the website for my business. I would like to tap for that.”

I didn't ask about emotional issues. I didn't ask what she was afraid of. I didn't ask about past childhood traumas with computers.

I asked, “Do you know how to build a website?”

She said, “No.”

Pod #132: EFT For Animals Transitioning Into A New Home w/ Susan Peach

by

When a new animal enters a family it can be stressful for the animal and the family alike.

The animal must deal with new surroundings, routines, expectations, and relationships. The family has to adjust to a change of dynamic because of the addition of a new personality.

In this interview I talk with animal and tapping expert Susanne Peach about what you can do before and after the addition of a new animal to your family to make the transition easier for everyone involved.

If you are new to tapping for animals, make sure you also check out my conversation with Susanne on how to tap surogately for animals

Pod #131: Tapping For Relationships w/ Dawson Church

by

If you have been around tapping and EFT for any length of time then more than likely you are aware of Dawson Church's work. He has been on the forefront of research being done to prove tapping’s efficacy and tapping best practices. He has also been very involved in conducting research into best practice for practitioners.

When I approached Dawson about doing another interview he insisted upon talking about relationships. When I asked why he said, “It is something I am really passionate about. When people have stronger relationships they have better lives.”

You can't argue with that!

This interview isn't your typical interview about relationships. Forever the scientist, Dawson talks about how what is going on in our brain impacts the type and quality of relationships that we have. We then discuss how we can use tapping to impact the brain in ways that directly lead us to find the right relationships.

It is not a path that I would have expected us to go down in a conversation about tapping and relationships, but it is really good stuff. I know you will enjoy it.

You Can’t Think Your Way Out Of Irrational Fear

by

[Note: If I were to boil down the root cause for why people don't take action it would be fear. Today we are going to explore fear and how it impacts our capacity to take action.]

Of all the emotions that we experience, fear is the most powerful.

I don't mean that it is the strongest emotion. In my experience that is sadness.

When I say fear is the strongest what I mean is that if we are feeling a number of different emotions at once, fear will override all others.

Pod #130: How To Use EFT To Move You To Take Action

by

The first weekend of April the 2nd annual Spring Energy Event was held outside NYC. My friend Jondi Whitis did an awesome job once again of putting together a great event.

This year I was asked to talk about how we can use tapping to move ourselves to taking the action we want.

My presentation was broken into three parts:

Part 1: Tapping For Action v. Tapping For Relief
Part 2: The 9 Immutable Laws Of Taking Action
Part 3: 4 Ways To Use Tapping To Move You Towards Taking Action

The version of the handout I created for the talk had a number of blanks for the audience to fill in while listening. I have provided the completed notes below.

If you are looking for help taking action you will find over 200 audios, classes, and resources in the Ruach Center designed specifically to move you taking action.

### Notes on from recording ###

When are we motivated to take action?

  • Close to goal
    • doesn't have to be the big goal, but it is it seems easy to achieve
  • In lots of pain

When are we not motivated to take action?

  • Tolerable middle

Two Types of Tapping

  • First Aid
    • feel better/less pain
    • feel in the moment
    • feel relaxed
  • Action
    • feel energized
    • feel driven
    • see possibilities

Tapping for first aid leads to relief and pause.

Tapping for action leads to action.

Part 2: 9 Immutable Laws Of Taking Action

1) If it wasn't for resistance to change, the change would have already happened.

2) You can't think your way out of an irrational fear.

3) The problem is not the problem (most of the time).

  • Four reasons we don't take action
    • don't know what we want
    • don't know how to do it
    • hurts to do it
    • hurts to be successful
  • First two might be the problem
  • Second two aren't the problem

4) Fear is not the enemy. Misinformed and disproportionate fears are.

5) Change what you fear, change how you act.

  • If you are free of fear you don't have to prioritize your to-do list.

6) The challenge to change is inertia.

  • The shit we know is better than the shit we don't know.

7) When we are resource poor we will make emotional choices.

  • Physical
  • Emotional
  • Cognitive

8) The people in our lives want us to change for the better as long they don't have to change.

9) You don't need to be be fearless. You need to be fearless-ish.

Part 3: 4 Ways To Tap For Action

Tap for to-do list.

Tap for the four reasons we don't take action

  • Ask yourself:
    • What is unclear about my goal?
    • What don't I know how to do?
    • What would/could go wrong if I took action?
    • What would/could go wrong if I succeeded?
  • Look at:
    • practical
    • emotional

How To Tap To Action (The Great Visualization Hoax)

  • See yourself trying to do what you want, encountering obstacles, and see yourself overcome the obstacles.

Tap On Not Needing To Be Perfect

  • Perfectionism is the arch enemy of action
  • Perfectionism is nothing more than over-functioning fear

Pod #129 (part 2): Tapping For Luck w/ Rue Hass

by

[Note: This is part 2 of our conversation. Listen to part 1 here.]

I am guessing as you read the title of this week's podcast you are thinking, “Luck is an odd thing to tap for. They say try it on anything, but luck… really?”

I would agree with you. When my friend and EFT Master Rue Hass recommended this as the topic for our conversation I was curious.

In the end the conversation turned out to be so fruitful that I needed to split it into two parts.

When Rue is talking about luck she is talking about how we access the opportunities around us to move towards our goals. Even though I personally wouldn't use the word luck to describe what she is talking about you will hear in our conversation that I do agree with her disposition.

You will find this conversation in contrast to most of the conversation around an attraction (and law of attraction) world view.


Rue Hass

How Rue describes herself: When I first meet a new client/customer/co-creative partner, I walk them through an interesting process of understanding their life as a story. It concludes with asking them to consider what they want their life to leave in the world as a legacy. How do they want the world to be a better place for their having been in it?

When I contemplate this in myself, and ask, “What do I want to focus on in this phase of my life, as a culmination of everything I have learned and gained?”, what emerges for me is the concept of “spiritual eldering.” This impulse finds expression in my work with individuals and local groups, inviting and assisting people and communities to move into a sense of the real transformative power of their spiritual Presence in the world.

I particularly like to work with young people, adolescents and young adults as a mentor/coach. I have always been drawn to the kind of kid who might find him/herself in trouble in school, academically or socially, but who on the inside is bright, sensitive, perceptive, intuitive, often artistic or athletic, deep hearted and imaginative, and who just doesn’t fit the norm. I want to make it easier for these young people to find their place in the world. I think they are here to save it.

Your Goals Are Holding You Back

by

I am a huge fan of goal setting!

About once a year I sit down to craft out my goals for the next year. Once a month I look at my goals and rewrite them to meet the changes in my life. Every Monday morning I spend a few minutes reading and tapping with my goals.

I have found that goal setting has been hugely beneficial in my life and I don't say that in a “I feel better” way. There is tangible evidence that I am more productive, happier, and healthier because of setting goals.

But there is a dark side to goal setting.

Sometimes we set the wrong goal.

They Keep Telling Me I Am Stupid For Giving It Away Free (Are They Right?)

by

I am going be up front with you. This email is going to challenge you. I might even come off as a little cranky (or a lot cranky).

I'm OK with that. This is too important for me to worry about what you think about me.

“You Give Away Too Much!”
Hear this a lot from other practitioners. They tell me there is way too much free content and because there is so much free content nobody will ever hire me or buy my stuff. Why would they bother?

I personally think it is a good way to work but I decided to consider this more closely.

On the back of an envelope on a recent flight I did some calculations. Based on the average number of people who open my emails only about 0.6% ever hire me for sessions or buy anything from the site.

That is not 6%, but 0.6%.

That mean 99.4% use the resources totally free of charge.

In the end I am OK with that because my goal in creating the site isn't only as a source of income. I know that the site ends up helping those who might not able to afford to pay for tapping resources.

With that in mind…

A Question For The 99.4%
I am guessing you keep opening my emails because you find them useful in some way. Not everything and not everyone, but there is enough useful stuff that you come back for more.

So the question I have for you is this…

How valuable are the hundreds of free resources that are available at TappingQ&A to you?

If I gave you the choice which would you do?

  • Give up one cup of coffee on the first day of the month or give up TappingQ&A
  • Give up two movies in the next year or give up TappingQ&A
  • Give up one night with friends or give up TappingQ&A

I'm Not Really Asking You To Give Up TappingQ&A
I am not asking you to give up TappingQ&A, but I ask those questions so that you consider what the free resources mean to you.

AND I would like to give you the chance to demonstrate what you think it is worth.

April 21st through May 12th ten EFT practitioners are going to the Philippines to tap with 10,000 kids whose lives were impacted by a major typhoon last November. I am asking you to consider a way that you can show your appreciation for the value of TappingQ&A is by helping to support this powerful work.

Better Than Any Thank You
I love the very kind notes that people often send me thanking me for the site. I love when people tell me about how they used one of the tools to make their life better.

It really means a lot, but this would mean so much more.

If you want to say thank you for what you receive free from TappingQ&A you can do it in a way in which you will be also helping kids on the other side of the world recover from a major trauma.

I am not asking you to do something I won't do. I receive a number of things free of charge to which I willing give money monthly because I believe in the work that is being done. (I donate $100 a month to just one cause because I know it brings me so much value each month.)

If you would like details on the project you can find them here: Full details

A donation as small as $25 will mean EFT work for 5 kids.

You Give! You Get!
As a thank you if you donate $25 or more I will send you:

  • “New Energy Therapies” ebook by Steve Wells and David Lake
  • “EFT Level 1 Manual” ebook by Tania A. Prince.
  • (If we reach the goal of $15k) I will do 4 free teleclasses.

Pod #128: EFT For Fear Of Failure And Fear of Success w/ Annabel Fisher

by

On the surface it might not seem like an obvious connection, but in many ways fear of failure and fear of success are the opposite sides of the same coin.

Fear of failure is concerned about what goes wrong when things don't work out. Fear of success is concerned about what goes wrong when things do work out. (And, yes, things can still go wrong when we are successful.)

Both fears keep us from taking action, believing it will keep us out of harm’s way.

In this interview with Annabel Fisher we talk about the fears of failure and success, how they are related, and how we can tap for them.

Pod #127: Your Self-Sabotage Is Brilliant w/ Brad Yates

by

Self-sabotage can be so frustrating. There are times when we know exactly what we need to be doing, yet we still choose the wrong course of action.

Sometimes I can see myself getting in my own way and I am amazed at how creatively I self-sabotage. If it didn't negatively impact my life I would almost think it is funny!

Brad Yates uses an interesting word to describe this type of creative self-sabotage. He calls it “brilliant”. It is not brilliant in the outcome that results, but it is brilliant in how creative it is in causing us problems.

In this interview Brad and I talk about the amazing ways we get in our own way and what we can do to leverage this brilliance into having what we want.

Pod #126: Lesson From Tapping With Children With Cancer w/ Deborah Miller PhD

by

EFT is such a powerful tool that we all know that we should “try it on anything.” Even though most of us have tried it on anything we haven't taken it to the extremes. Most of have tapped for deep and powerful issues, but not in moments that are literally life or death.

Deborah Miller has done just that. She works with children with cancer and their parents. She is doing more than trying it on anything, she is being successful!

In this interview we talk about what all tappers can learn from her work with these extreme issues. We also talk about the book she has written on how parents and children can use tapping.

Pod #125: EFT For Lessons And Experiences From Our Childhood That Impact Us Today w/ Jacqui Crooks

by

There is no question that we are impacted by our past. That seems so obvious that it doesn't even seem worth commenting on.

Nevertheless I think it is easy to underestimate how some past experiences impact us.

In my private sessions with clients it is amazing how often we find our way back to roots planted firmly in their childhood via current issues. We are more than impacted by our childhood experiences, we are deeply imprinted by them.

In this interview I talk with EFT Master Jacqui Crooks about how we are affected by these childhood moments and how we can tap to create freedom from memories and lessons that are no longer helpful.

Here is the tapping script Jaqui read at the end of the interview:

Even though there is a blueprint of the shining essence of me and I forgot that that is who I am, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself.

Even though I forgot, I now gratefully accept help from my guides, helpers, angels, source, my higher self and all parts of me, to help and support, while cleaning, clearing and repairing all damage to my chakras, aura or any of my bodies, so that I return wholly to that shining, glowing essence of who I am.

Even though I forgot, I'm choosing now, to align to that blueprint of my shining essence and I ask that this is fuelled so that it continues, in ways that I don't need to know, continually clearing the connection to source, so that I can continue to shine and glow and completely fill that me shaped space in the universe.

What Would You Do If You Lost Your Home In A Typhoon?

by


Good morning,

Last November super typhoon Haiyan devastated parts of the Philippines.

  • 12 million people were impacted directly
  • 4 million people were displaced from their homes
  • 1 million homes were damaged or destroyed

In addition to the hardship of the destruction, I can't even begin to imagine the emotional toll an experience like that would have on me. Some of the children who lived through it described being crippled with fear every time the wind blows.

My friend Sebastiaan van der Schrier decided that something needed to be done for those impacted by the storm. Especially the kids!

In December he went to the Philippines where he worked with local government leaders to introduce EFT in as many schools as he could reach and he tapped with hundreds of kids to bring relief to the trauma they had suffered.

After this experience he decided he wanted to do more!

His new goal?

  • Tap with 10,000 kids (yes, 10,000)
  • Train 100 local practitioners
  • Train 3 local trainers
  • Build 200 sustainable homes
  • Build 5 storm proof classrooms

To achieve this goal Sebastiaan is doing two things.

First, he has invited 10 practitioners to join him April 21st – May 12th in the Philippines to tap with kids and run trainings. These practitioners are closing down their practices for few weeks to help out.

Second, he is reaching out to the tapping community help raise the funds to pull off this amazing ambitious goal.

Last week I received a note from Sebastiaan asking if I would be willing to support him in this endeavor.

The answer was yes, of course.

On a closer reading of his note I realized he was inviting me to be one of the 10 practitioners to join him.

I was (and still am) amazed by the invitation.

I looked at my calendar, moved a few things around and I will be joining the team for 10 days.

I Need Your Help

I am reaching out to ask for your help.

In order to pull off everything that Sebastiaan wants to do we need to raise $150,000. I figured that since I was one of the 10 practitioners going that I should try to raise 10% of that.

My personal goal is to raise $15,000. If we do this it means I will be able to work with 1000 kids and we will be able to build one storm proof classroom.

If everyone who reads this email donated just $25 we would reach that goal many times over.

Think of it this way… $25 will mean that I will get to work with 5 kids tapping on a major trauma working to giving them back the joy of childhood.

You Help AND You Get Something

If you donate $25 or more I will send you an ebook containing 50 tapping scripts to help you stop self-sabotage in your own life, a copy of Steve Wells and David Lake's ebook “New Energy Therapies”, and a copy of the EFT Level Manual ebook by Tania A. Prince.

ALSO, if we reach our goal of $15k then I will run a 4-week series of tapping calls for everyone on my mailing list, not just the people who donated.

Your donation means that:

  • Kids receive trauma relief
  • Homes and schools are built
  • You get 50 awesome tapping scripts, “New Energy Therapies” ebook, and Level EFT Manual
  • Everyone can participate in free tapping teleclasses.

How could you say no to that?

If you are looking for more information on the project please take a few minutes to watch this video.

To ensure you get your bonus for donating use the following link. By doing that I will be able to send you an email with your tapping scripts via the donation system.

(I will still be able to send you the ebook if you donate anonymously. I won't even know who you are.)

Donate here!

Thanks for your consideration. If you have any questions about the trip, the work, or making a donation, please let me know.

Blessings,

Gene

PS: I know I ask you all the time to pass my stuff along to people you know who might benefit from the resources on the site. This time it would mean even more to me if you would pass along the link to this very worthy cause.

Pod #124: EFT For Performance Anxiety w/ Gina Parris

by

It happens all the time. You know how to do something. You might have done it a ton of times before. But the moment you step in front of someone else and have to do it you freeze.

You might be before a whole group of people, like giving a presentation, or just in front of one person, like in a job interview. You get tense. And sweaty. You can't remember what to say or do. You might even shake.

Things that usually come easily to us are suddenly really difficult when others are watching us.

In this interview with Gina Parris we talk about performance anxiety and how you can use what Gina calls “3 R” to move past it.
