Pod #541: Using the Tao Te Ching as a tapping tool

October 26, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

When we are tapping there is no such thing as the “right” or “best” words to use in our tapping phrases. There are words and phrases that are useful, and there are words and phrases that aren’t useful.

One set of phrases might work perfectly one day, but not so well the next.

The words we use are often related directly to what is going on in our lives, what we are feeling in our body, or what issue we would like to clear.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Sometimes the most useful words are written by someone else that we didn’t even know we needed to tap on.

Over the last few weeks I have been doing a little experimental tapping work in what I call The Tapping Lab. (You can read more about the lab here.) One of the experiments that I did was tapping to an English translation of the Tao Te Ching.

In that process I came across a chapter that turned out to contain the perfect tapping phrases for me.

In this week’s podcast I share my experience of tapping with the Tao Te Ching, how you can do the same with this (or any) text, and I share with you the chapter that resonated so powerfully for me.

You can even tap along with me on how to create new and healthier ways of showing up in the world.

Pod #540 Are you being TOO hard on yourself?

October 12, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

I am always open to feedback from my readers, even when it is critical. We are all notoriously bad eyewitnesses to our own experience, so this sort of feedback can be helpful in understanding how we are perceived by others.

One piece of feedback that I have heard a number of times in the last few months is that I come across as very hard on myself.

I think this is down to two reasons.

First, in an effort to share my experience with you so that you can avoid some of the mistakes I have made, I tend to focus on my past struggles in my writings and recording.

Second, I am probably hard on myself more often than I should be!

In this week’s podcast I explore the line between being overly self-critical and being honest with ourselves so that we can create meaningful change in our lives.

I then do some tapping on the issue, which I think you too may find useful.

Pod #539: Do you want to be whole?

September 28, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to be one of the speakers at the 2022 Energy Fest put on by Donna Eden and David Feinsten. I wasn’t just lucky to be in the room, but also to have the opportunity to hear presentations from world-class speakers who are doing some of the most provocative healing work out there.

One of those speakers was the transcendent Dr. Thema Bryant. I do not have the words to describe the force of nature that this woman is. Her presentation was worth the price of admission alone.

At one point during Dr. Bryant’s presentation, she asked the question “Do you want to be whole?” The audience quickly and enthusiastically screamed back “YES!”

Dr. T paused, smiled a smile as radiant as one thousand suns, and asked “Are you sure?”

She then proceeded to talk about what is required to be whole. The question then wasn’t really “Do you want to be whole?”, but instead “Are you willing to do the work that is required to be whole?”

That is a much deeper (and harder) question to answer.

I went directly from the Energy Fest to boarding a cruise ship with my family to sail up the Northeastern coast of the US and into the Maritime provinces of Canada. This gave me a lot of time to stare over the ocean and ponder this question.

This week in the podcast I share what that question stirred in me. I have also included some of the tapping prompted by my reflection as I pondered the process of becoming whole.

Pod #538: How someone who works with self-sabotage daily ended up self-sabotaging

September 7, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

I am incredibly proud of the 24 Hours of Tapping and the fact that we raised over $31,000 for the Peaceful Heart Network.

What you don’t know is that a key reason why I ran the event is because I was running away from something else. That wasn’t the only reason I ran the event. It wasn’t the primary reason I ran the event. BUT it was a major factor in running the event.

In this week’s podcast I share with you what I was running from, why I was running, and the lessons I learned from finally facing my fears.

I hope my struggle is instructive in helping you to identify and overcome when you are running away from something important in your own life.

Pod #537 Why does healing have to be a process?

August 31, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the biggest frustrations of the tapping process is the fact that it is a process. One-minute miracles do exist, but they are rare.

Naturally, part of us would like transformation to happen immediately, while another part of us understands that healing is more often a process that takes time. When these two parts are in conflict, it can slow down your healing progress.

In this week’s podcast, I share how to manage this sort of internal discord so that you can smooth the way for more rapid and lasting healing.
