Pod #596: The question you must ask before you sit down to tap

January 31, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

Over the last four or five years I have had a major shift in how I think about tapping. This shift is moving from the idea that tapping is an approach, to tapping being a tool.

This realization has not only changed the way I think about tapping, it has also changed the way I think about transformation as a whole.

No two rounds of tapping are the same. When I say that, I don’t just mean I change the words I am using or I change the issues I am addressing. Instead, one round of tapping might be to calm myself down in the middle of a stressful situation, and another might be me working on a childhood trauma that I am still carrying with me.

Even though I am tapping on exactly the same physical points, those two types of tapping are radically different from each other.

In this week’s podcast, I explore what it means to see tapping as a tool with many different approaches. From this understanding we look at the different types of approaches we can take when tapping. I also share one key question with you that you should ask yourself before every tapping session to get the most out of it.

Pod #595: Tailenders – The most value part of a round of tapping

January 24, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the very first ideas I was introduced to when I was learning the basics of tapping was something called a “tailender”.

Tailenders are the little (or big) pieces of resistance that speak up when we are tapping.

For example I could tap on the phrase “I am going to lose 25 lbs to start the year.” The moment I finish saying that phrase, my subconscious mind speaks up with “No you are not. You failed before and you are going to fail again!”

It is a tailender because it is something that is said on the tailend of us saying something else.

I have come to realize in my own tapping practice and also working with clients that these tailenders are actually the key to deep lasting transformation.

This week in the podcast we do a deep dive into what tailenders are, why they exist, and how we can use them to facilitate a more powerful healing process.

Pod #594: Tapping when you are feeling emotion beaten up AND how to bounce back

January 17, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

My daily tapping practice is NOT designed to make my life go perfectly. Instead, it is designed to build my emotional resilience.

What I mean by this is that the more emotionally resilient I am when something goes wrong, either it doesn’t impact me and my progress OR it has minimal impact on me.

Even when we spend time working on building our resilience, it doesn’t mean that we are impervious to taking emotional hits. Sometimes, really big things happen which can knock us off our stride. At other times, the sum total of lots of many small things going wrong adds up.

That is exactly what happened to me in December. So many small things went wrong over the course of a number of weeks. Some of those were errors that I had made. Others were because of external factors beyond my control.

In some ways, it felt like a death by a thousand paper cuts.

In this week’s podcast I share about my experience, how it impacted my emotional resilience, and what I have been doing to bounce back.

Pod #593: I want you to feel beautiful – Tapping Mini-Tools (Part 5)

January 10, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

I have spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to live an authentic life. One of the ways I would describe this sensation is being comfortable in my own skin.

And when I say that, I don’t just mean comfortable as in not in pain, but comfortable in a way of luxuriating in something I was made for.

It is much like a beautifully made pair of leather shoes that have been broken in to fit you absolutely perfectly.

In 2022, one of the presenters at the Eden Energy Fest was describing their work and said “When I am helping others I feel beautiful!”

That phrase continues to rattle around in my head ever since I heard it. It is perfect.

In this week’s podcast I talk about how I used that idea to create a simple, but powerful tapping tool.

Pod #592: 4 questions to end the day– Tapping Mini-Tools (Part 4)

January 3, 2024 by Gene Monterastelli

We have all experienced lying in bed at night trying to get to sleep

BUT our racing minds keep us awake.

Usually we are replaying everything that didn’t work out today, and worrying about everything that could be difficult tomorrow.

As our thoughts spin, we become increasingly unsettled, which makes sleep even harder.

Regardless if you are someone who anxiously tosses and turns in bed at night, letting go of the stress from our day and releasing worry about tomorrow is a good thing for everyone.

This week, as we continue the Tapping Mini Tools series we look at four questions that are perfect for letting go of today’s stress and worries about tomorrow.

The questions can be used at the end of your work day or just before you go to bed at night. AND there is a great way you can use these questions to tap your children at the end of the day.

In this week’s podcast I share the four questions and how to use them to maximum effect.
