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.

Pod #548: Setting a tapping session up for success

March 1, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

In most areas of my life, I have found that taking some time to think about what I am trying to accomplish and my motivation sets me up for a better outcome.

I am more present to the action I am taking. I am more attentive to what is and is not working. And I am much more likely to take the most effective actions because I'm clear about what I am trying.

This is especially true with tapping. Without clarity on what you are trying to achieve with a round of tapping, it is easy to jump from issue to issue without ever completely clearing any one issue. It is also hard to gauge whether or not to continue tapping on an issue without a clear sense of your goal.

Last weekend I led a mindset expansion day for a number of my students. We spent close to four hours tapping on those niggly internal limiting beliefs that hold us back from creating authentic lives that we love.

To start the day, we did some tapping around the group's intentions for the day. It was a powerful round of tapping and it was the perfect set-up for a powerful day of transformation.

This is something you can do before every round of tapping to get even more benefit out of your sessions.

In this week's podcast I teach you how I set my intention for a tapping session AND I include the tapping we did as a group.

Pod #547: Tapping for loneliness and disconnection

February 22, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

A recent Harvard study found that 36% of the population of the United States, with some groups (such as young adults) experiencing a much higher prevalence of loneliness.

Not only does the study point out that loneliness is becoming a serious issue, it also shows “the potentially steep costs of loneliness, including early mortality and a wide array of serious physical and emotional problems, including depression, anxiety, heart disease, substance abuse, and domestic abuse.”

I know that I have experienced more loneliness and disconnection in the last few years than at any other period in my life, and even post-pandemic it's a concern I work on with many of my clients.

In this week's podcast I share a simple tap-along audio to help with the feeling of loneliness and disconnection.

You can find the full tapping script of this audio as a pdf over at Tapping Q and A Podcast Scripts and Transcripts.

Pod #546: 4 things I say out loud before every tapping session

February 15, 2023 by Gene Monterastelli

Recently, I was watching the behind-the-scenes documentary of Six Impossible Things. Six Impossible Things was a magic show created by one of the best close-up magicians alive today, Joshua Jay.

In the documentary Joshua and his creative team not only reveal how the tricks are done, but they explain everything they did to create the show and make it a success.

Near the end of the documentary Joshua shares the three phrases he reads to himself before every show to ensure he is ready. As a performer myself, I know how easy it is not to be fully present to a presentation that you have given hundreds or thousands of times.

I liked the idea so much that I asked myself the question, “What do I want to remind myself of before each client call to ensure I am at my best for every client?”

After playing with the idea for a number of weeks, I settled on four phrases that I say to myself before every client session.

In this week's podcast I share those phrases with you, and how you can use them yourself, whether tapping with a client or on your own.

Even if you don't use my phrases, I have a feeling that my thought process will help you to figure out what reminders you need to get the most out of tapping.
