Pod #536: Balancing kindness with authenticity

August 10, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

Recently I was working with a client who was struggling with her wish to communicate some hard truths with certain friends in her life.

She felt stuck because she knew that her friends would not like what she wanted to share. On one hand, she knew what she needed to say AND at the exact same time, she did not want to be unkind.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a situation where our desire to be authentic and our desire to be kind are in conflict.
In this week’s podcast we talk about (and tap for) finding a balance between being kind and being a doormat.

Pod #535: What motorcycle jumps and lily pads have to do with healing

August 3, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

In the last few months I have been giving a lot of thought to the nature of tapping and its applications. For the longest time I have thought of tapping as an approach to creating transformation.

I am starting to change my mind about this.

Instead of being a single approach, I begin to understand tapping as a tool that can accommodate multiple approaches that are dictated by the issue we are working on, the skill of the tapping practitioner, and whether we are working alone or with someone else.

The first level of analysis involves developing my understanding of what the healing process looks like for a particular issue.

Recently, I have been describing this with the help of an analogy involving motorcycle jumps and lily pads. In this week’s podcast I talk about the difference between these two approaches and how they can make all the difference in the transformation that you can achieve with tapping.

Pod #534: 60 Minutes Of Mindset Tapping

June 15, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

Last weekend I did a one-hour livestream tap-along and took recommendations from the viewers as to which topics we should tap on.

During that hour we tapped on:

Giving ourselves permission to do self-care
Feeling hesitant to make important decisions
Perfectionism
Getting our enthusiasm back
Worry about upcoming changes that we don’t control
Fear of missing out
Concern about negative self-talk taking over our emotions
Fear of sharing your work with potential clients
Letting go of anger and resentment

Below you will find the recording of the live stream from YouTube as well as an mp3 version of the tap-along that you can download and take with you.

Pod #533: The difference between need, desire, and preference AND why it is important in transformational work

June 1, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the concepts from my NLP training that has stayed with me is the idea that we don’t emotionally respond to how the world is, but instead to how we describe the world.

An example I often use is of someone saying “Everyone at work hates me!” It is possible that everyone at work might hate the person making that claim, but it is unlikely to be everyone.

BUT if that is how work is described, then the person saying this will walk into their office with their guard up, fearing every interaction with their co-workers.

In this week’s podcast we dive into the difference between need, desire, and preference, and how you can incorporate this understanding into your tapping practice to allow for more rapid personal transformation.

Pod #532: How to start every tapping session

May 25, 2022 by Gene Monterastelli

One of the biggest struggles reported by tappers when tapping on their own is knowing where to start and what to say. When we sit down to tap, all we often know is that we don’t feel great.

In this week’s podcast I share two phrases that you can use to start any tapping session to start you off on the right foot.

When you use these two simple phrases one of two things happen next. Either the phrases will get you going and your intuition will take over and lead you to what you should tap on next OR you can keep using the phrases over and over again, leading you to the relief you are seeking.

Even more important than these two phrases is the fundamental concept of healing on which they are based. I believe that this simple concept is one of the most important foundations of any kind of healing and personal transformation work.

Listen to the podcast to hear more about this idea and how you can incorporate it into your tapping.

Listen and learn!
