Pod #558: “This or something better…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 9)

May 10, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

As humans, we are great at complaining!

And I don't mean that as a put-down because there is a sound evolutionary reason why we excel at complaining. A complaint is a recognition of something that is bad, painful, or distasteful.

This is the subconscious mind's way of keeping us safe. When we point out what is negative, it makes it easier to recognize and avoid it in future. The problem is that the subconscious is good at avoiding the undesirable, but poor at finding what is better.

This week we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrases series with a phrase that will help you to find what you want instead.

This is a phrase I use with my goal setting AND with my tapping, and I know you will love it too.

Pod #557: “I give my emotions permission to be heard…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 8)

May 3, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

It is so common to apologize when we get emotional in front of others.

You may feel like you are overreacting, or being extra, or that you are burdening the people around you.

Awareness of how our emotions can impact others is a good thing, BUT it is also important that we don't just bottle up or suppress strong emotions.

In this week's podcast, we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrases Series with the phrase I use for myself and with clients when strong or difficult emotions arise.

AND it is a phrase that will make you feel better just by saying it, though of course tapping with the phrase will be even more powerful.

Pod #556: “AND it does not determine what comes next…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 7)

April 26, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Our subconscious mind is brilliant at figuring out cause and effect relationships. That is how we learn.

If I touch a hot stove and it hurts, I learn not to touch a hot stove again. I smile at someone and find that they are more likely to be nice to me, so I learn that people often reflect my behavior.

Because all of this happens at an unconscious level, we don't notice these connections. Instead, we are constantly learning from observation and experience in the background.

This is great…EXCEPT when we learn the wrong lessons!

One of the ways in which the subconscious mind learns the wrong lesson is by assuming that because something was a certain way in the past, it will be that same way in the future.

Our past impacts and informs our future, but it does not predetermine what comes next.

This week, as we continue the My Favorite Tapping Phrase Series, I share the tapping phrase I use to help create a shift from feeling stuck in the past, to creating a new path forward. I also explain how easy it is to add this phrase to your current tapping practice.

Pod #555: “AND I choose to put it down…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 6)

April 19, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the biggest obstacles to transformation and healing is our history.

It would be one thing if we were simply trying to add a new worldview or belief, but trying to replace an old belief with a new one is a completely different process.

When trying to create change, we are trying to unroot the lessons that our history has taught us.

In this week's podcast we are continuing the My Favorite Tapping Phrase Series with my go-to phrase for work on replacing the past beliefs that no longer serve us with something that is more useful today

Pod #554: “I’m gentle and easy with myself…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 5)

April 12, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Our healing journey doesn't always go as planned.

Sometimes we stall. Sometimes progress is slower than we'd like. And sometimes (heaven forbid) we actually backslide.

Hitches and delays are an inevitable part of the healing and transformation process. How we respond to these moments determines how quickly we return to the healing path.

This week, as we continue the My Favorite Phrases Series, I am sharing the tapping phrase I find most valuable when things are not going as planned, why it is such a hard phrase to say out loud, and why that is actually good news.

It is a phrase I use daily when tapping on my own and with my clients.
