Pod #612: Tapping to become an agent for peace in the world

May 22, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Late last year my friend Brad Yates reached out to see if there was some way we could use our platforms to encourage more people to tap for peace and to become more active peacemakers in the world.

After a number of conversations and with help from lots of our tapping friends, we relaunched the Tapping4Peace.com website.

The movement is simple. If you sign up to participate, you will receive a short email every week.

The email will remind you to do some tapping for peace AND if you aren't exactly sure how to do that, the email will contain a link to a tapping resource from a different practitioner every week to help you to do exactly that.

After signing up to join us, a number of people suggested that it would be fun to gather live and do some tapping together as a community. It was such a great idea that is what we did last Sunday.

People from all over the world joined us live.

This week in the podcast I am sharing some of the tapping we did, so that you too can tap with us to create more peace in the world.

Please tap along and join the Tapping For Peace Movement here: Tapping4Peace.com

Pod #611: Tapping to reinforce the positive

May 15, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

I love how tapping can be used to clear and transform the negative.

It can be used to:

Release a negative emotions
Heal a past memory
Transform a limiting belief
Reduce (or even) eliminate physical pain
Quiet our critical voice

Did you know that in addition to being able to transform the negative, tapping can also be used to reinforce and embed the positive?

This week in the podcast I share a simple step-by-step process that you can use to reinforce and enhance positive feelings and positive states so that you can access them in future.

Pod #610: Better results by releasing your hidden tapping agenda

May 8, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Tapping is deceptively simple.

It is so easy to teach the basics of tapping that I have done it before in under five minutes with a quick drawing on a bar napkin.

But hidden behind its simplicity are the subtleties of the art of delivery. Each issue, person, and resource state can require a different approach to get the maximum effect.

With this in mind, it is easy to fall prey to trying to find the exact best way to tap for an issue. Searching for the very best approach can lead us to overthinking the process, which may result in us not tapping at all.

This week in the podcast I share a simple tapping approach to counter this type of overthinking. This approach can be your full tapping session, a way to get unstuck in the middle of a tapping session or you can use it to start a tapping session.

It is so straightforward to add to your tapping tool box that you'll be able to start using it right away.

Pod #609: How to tap for tailenders

May 1, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the most important parts of the Tapping Action Journal is the instruction to spend time writing down notes at the end of each tapping session on what just happened.

You are encouraged to write down:

what surprised you
what you learned
any insights you gained
any tailenders you unearthed

Tailenders are the responses our subconscious mind gives at the tailend of a tapping phrase.

For example, I could tap on “I am going to make at least five new sales this week.” As soon as I tap on that phrase, my subconscious would respond with “No you are not. You failed before and are going to fail again!”

In other words, tailenders are your subconscious mind's rebuttal to what you are saying and tapping on.

I love tailenders because they tell us exactly what subconscious resistance is standing in our way of moving forward and they provide a road map for what to tap on next.

Last week, one of my students asked the question “I know I am supposed to tap on tailenders, but how exactly do I do that?”

In this week's podcast I share a simple four-step approach to choosing the right tailender to tap for next, and how to tap for that issue.

Pod #608: Why empaths struggle with boundaries and how to tap for stronger ones

April 24, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Something I really love about the people I work with is their tendency to see the bigger world outside of themselves. They recognize the people in their lives who are struggling and in pain, and they also want to do something about it.

As wonderful as it is to want to help others, it can mean that we become known for being a helper, and the requests become increasingly frequent and demanding of our time and energy.

The next thing we know, we are helping everyone else to the point that we neglect our own needs and our lives, meaning we need to do the tough work of creating stronger boundaries.

If you are someone with an empathetic nature, creating and maintaining boundaries is even harder.

This week in the podcast, we explore how being a helper can turn into a full time job, how to create new boundaries, and why putting boundaries in place is particularly difficult for empaths.

We also spend time tapping to make it easier (even for empaths) to create boundaries.
