Pod #553: “I’m open to the possibility…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 4)

April 3, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

A key characteristic of the subconscious mind is how it tends to perceive the world in black and white.

Given this all-or-nothing disposition, it can sometimes be difficult to see a way forward or believe that better is possible.

In this week's podcast, we talk about the power of the tapping phrase “I am open to the possibility…” and how it can soften the subconscious mind's “all-or-nothing” stance.

Not only do I share why the phrase is useful, I also share all the ways in which I use it when tapping on my own issues and with clients.

Pod #552: “I know it is a healing process AND…” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 3)

March 29, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the exciting prospects that tapping opens up for us is the possibility of creating meaningful change in our lives.

AND tapping creates that internal change much faster than many other tools.

This speed is great, except for the fact it can also give rise to unrealistic expectations about how quickly we believe transformation should happen.

When the change we want does not happen instantaneously (or as quickly as we would like), it is easy to feel frustrated, or even demotivated, in the midst of the healing process.

This week I share my favorite tapping phrase to help with this frustration.

As an added bonus, of all the tapping phrases I use with my clients, this is the one that is most likely to cause them to laugh (and humor can be a great tool in the healing process).

Let me know how you incorporate a phrase like this one into your tapping in the comments below.

Pod #551: “I give myself permission” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 2)

March 22, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

The main job of the subconscious mind is to keep us safe.

It is constantly on the alert for anything in our environment that could be harmful.

This is great…except when it is not.

It is not so great when it causes us needless worry.

Even with its constant desire to keep us from harm, the subconscious mind is good at recognizing the places in our lives where we are normally safe. For example, many people regard their home as a place of safe and predictable sanctuary, so their whole system relaxes when they walk in their front door.

I have found using the phrase “I give myself permission…” can do exactly the same thing when we are tapping. Letting our subconscious mind know it is in a safe space allows it to be less vigilant and more relaxed, which in turn makes healing easier.

In this week's podcast I share the many different contexts in which I use the phrase “I give myself permission…” and how you can start to use it in your tapping right away.

Pod #550: “I recognize the fact” – My favorite tapping phrases (Part 1)

March 15, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

I love to learn and in the first decade of my tapping life, I consumed everything I could about tapping and transformation.

I subscribed to every newsletter I could find, I listened to podcasts, read books, and attended many live trainings.

In the process, I came across the work of Milton Erikson, the founder of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis, who is often referred to as the Dean of American Hypnosis.

Right away, I latched on to his idea that “All transformation starts by stating what is.” By this, Milton Erikson meant that we cannot create real and lasting change until we level with ourselves. If we are unwilling to be honest about what we are struggling with and where we are stuck, then it is practically impossible to create meaningful change.

I see this idea as so important that if you go back and listen to any of the tap-alongs I have created in the last 10 years, you will find reference to this idea.

In this week's podcast, I share with you how I employ this idea in my tapping, and how you can add it to your tapping right away!

Pod #549: Tapping for possibility

March 8, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the primary functions of our subconscious mind is to keep us safe.

The subconscious is constantly on the lookout for possible danger or trouble, and steers us away from anything that is unpredictable, such as taking new and bold action. In seeking to avoid putting us at risk, our subconscious will choose the predictably bad over the unpredictable.

One of the ways to ease the resistance created by the subconscious is to tap on possibilities. In this week's podcast I teach you how I tap for possibility and how this will make taking action so much easier.
