Pod #624: The power of speaking subconscious thoughts
One of the phrases that Gary Craig used in the original EFT training videos that has stuck with me is “the comedies of our mind”.
When using this phrase, Gary was referring to the recurring thoughts that we had about ourselves that, when they were examined in the light of day, were seen to be comical or even farcical.
For example, right before I try something hard my subconscious mind will pipe up with, “You have failed before and you are going to fail again.”
Unexamined, that thought could stop me in my tracks. But if I pull it from the echo chamber of my subconscious mind and into the here and now, it loses its power. It might slow me down, but I can work my way through it,
This week in the podcast I share with you the process I use throughout my day to ensure I am not a prisoner to these unhelpful and untrue thoughts.
This is an approach that you can use in your tapping and also in your daily life without having to tap.

Pod #623: Five questions to ask yourself before making a change
New opportunities can be so exciting as they bring the promise of growth, change, and countless possibilities.
The problem is that most of us already have full lives and we don't have the time or energy to add something new.
When this happens, we have a tendency to take one of two approaches.
One approach is to take the plunge in the hope that things will “just work out”…but they rarely do. We find ourselves stretched too thin and not doing anything well.
The other approach is to not try at all. We decide our life is already too busy and allow great opportunities to pass us by, only to feel bad about missing out afterwards.
This week in the podcast I share with you the five questions I use when I am presented with an interesting opportunity. These questions have changed my life to help me to add new exciting things to my life, while still maintaining balance.
I also share how I use tapping to super charge these questions.

Pod #622: Eight ways to use content-free tapping
Tapping without words is one of my favorite ways to tap and I do it multiple times a day.
Recently, a few of my friends from the tapping community referred to this type of tapping as “content-free tapping”.
When I heard this, not only did I learn a new piece of vocabulary, it actually reframed my understanding of wordless tapping.
This week in the podcast I share with you my eight favorite ways to use content-free tapping.

Pod #621: Tapping to be charitable towards ourselves
Maintaining high standards for ourselves is a good thing and means we have goals to shoot for and measuring sticks with which to evaluate our progress.
Unfortunately, it is all too easy to fall into self-criticism and self-judgment if we fall short of these standards. So much so that it rarely feels like a choice, but the moment we fall short, the internal critical voice comes roaring forward to berate and belittle us.
Even when we are critical of ourselves, we are still able to extend kindness to others and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Evaluating our actions is a good thing…but becoming overly self-critical is harsh and unhealthy.
When I am too hard on myself, one of my best friends gently chides me in a way that transforms the way I feel about myself and what comes next.
He doesn't say, “Gene, you are being too hard on yourself!” because that would not shift my mind or mood.
Instead, he says something completely different that turns everything around.
In this week's podcast I share the one phrase that changes my perspective in these situations, and how that phrase can be incorporated in our tapping.

Pod #620: Tapping with the HARP participants featuring Kerri Rhodes
One of the highlights of this year's 24 Hours of Tapping was the conversation that I had with Kerri Rhodes. Kerri is one of the program directors of the Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program in the Chesterfield (VA) County Jail.
The inmates use many of the tools created by the Peaceful Heart Network to create emotional healing and transformation as part of their recovery process.
In addition to learning about the HARP program from Kerri, we also had the opportunity to hear from the women in the program. Not only did they share their firsthand experience of tapping, but they also led us in a number of rounds of tapping.
This is a conversation that you don't want to miss.

Pod #619: Just feeling your emotions
Most of the time, when we sit down to tap, we are trying to create positive change.
We are trying to:
- Release a negative emotion and create a positive one in its place
- Clear resistance and limiting beliefs so that we can take consistent action
- Heal a past trauma or story so that our present is not haunted by our past
I love every single one of these tapping outcomes!
But there are times when we cannot create profound change or facilitate deep healing.
Sometimes the best and healthiest course of action is simply to be fully present to the emotions we are feeling. And that is no bad thing.
This week in the podcast I explore the power of feeling the full depth and breadth of our emotions in the moment as we tap. It is one of my favorite ways to tap and something I do multiple times a week.

Pod #618: Tapping in response to failure
The primary goal of our subconscious mind is to keep us safe.
To do this, it is constantly learning lessons from our experience. For example, after touching a hot stove a small child quickly learns quickly not to do that again.
This only becomes a problem when the subconscious mind learns the “wrong” lesson from an experience.
I frequently see this come up when working with my clients around their reluctance to take action. Their resistance usually stems from one of these lessons that is neither useful nor true.
The most common lesson learned is that failure is bad, painful, and must be avoided at all costs. At first glance, this seems reasonable…except that the solution proposed by the subconscious mind is not to try at all.
The logical fallacy is obvious: Not taking action doesn't keep us safe, it keeps us stuck.
In this week's podcast, I share two ways to release the resistance to taking action that is created by past failures.

Pod #617: Overcoming the corrosive nature of the word “too”
Wanting to belong is a basic human desire.
For our ancestors thousands of years ago, belonging to a tribe was a matter of life and death. Without the protection of a tribe and its strength in numbers, death was a real prospect, so this desire to be accepted is part of our genetic heritage.
Even today, on a subconscious level, belonging equals safety and not belonging equals death, though intellectually we know that is no longer true in most situations.
We evaluate whether or not we belong in many ways.
- Are we included in activities?
- Do people ask us for our input and listen to our contributions?
- Do others share and celebrate their success with us?
- Are we given a warm welcome when we arrive?
Those are clear indications of invitation and inclusion, but there are more subtle signs too. When I am working with clients and students, one of my favorite ways to unearth times in their past when they felt excluded is to ask the question, “In the past, when were you told you were too much of something?”
These types of being “too something” include being too loud, too emotional, too closed off, too dramatic, too quiet, too serious…and the list goes on.
Being told that you are “too something” can bring up subconscious fears of being wrong, and therefore excluded from your tribe.
This week in the podcast we explore how and why the word “too” feels corrosive and as if it undermines our experience. I also share a tapping process you can use to transform those times when you were told you are “too something” into an asset and empowering resource.
If you have ever been told you are too something, then this is a must-listen.

Pod #616 Tapping for peak performance w/ Erik Tait
Erik Tait is a world class magician and someone I love to see perform. He has spent over two decades performing as a juggler, standup comedian, and magician.
In 2020 Erik decided that he wanted to compete in the 2022 FISM, which is the world championship of magic. Even though he is comfortable on almost any stage in the world, in preparing for the competition he realized he had some deep-seated fears that were affecting his performance. His fear was so acute that it would cause his hand to shake uncontrollably, which is the last thing a card magician wants.
Erik's therapist taught him tapping and he credits it (and other tools) with helping him to overcome his fear and win third place in the competition. This made him only the fourth American to accomplish this, and the first American to stand on the podium for card magic in two decades.
In this week's podcast, Erik shares how he was first introduced to tapping, how he used it to overcome his fear when preparing for FISM, and how he still uses it today.
Even if you never want to perform on stage, Erik's insights are valuable for anyone interested in improving their performance in any arena or endeavor.
ALSO, if you want to be blown away by world class magic, you can watch the act we talked about during the interview here: Erik Tait's FISM performance

Pod #615: Tapping for perfectionism
There is a natural human tendency to want to make sure everything is “exactly right” before we take action. That's because when everything is exactly right, we can be as sure as we can be of getting the results we desire.
Our subconscious mind takes this idea to the extreme because its key driver is the need to keep us safe. In addition, it has a tendency to overreact when things go wrong.
Here's how it goes:
- The subconscious wants us to be safe
- Any small thing that goes wrong is not only unsafe, the subconscious mind judges it as catastrophic
- The easiest way to make we are safe is to do everything “perfectly”
- As perfection is generally an unrealistic and unattainable goal, the subconscious holds us back from taking action while waiting for ideal circumstances that never come
On the surface, this logic makes sense except for the fact that things will never be perfect. That leads us to over-thinking and failing to take decisive action.
This week in the podcast I share a simple concept and how to incorporate this concept into your tapping so you can avoid getting caught in this unproductive trap.

Pod #614: What the novel Dune taught me about fear AND how that impacts my tapping
One of the reasons I love art is because it gives us the ability to communicate meaning in ways that we aren't always able to do when simply talking about our lives.
We have all heard the expression that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, which is true, and it is so much more than just that.
The genres of science fiction and fantasy offer us the opportunity to explore the human experience without the political and cultural baggage of our modern world.
Recently, I have been listening to the audiobook version of Frank Herbert's Dune. One of the underlying themes is how our emotions impact our ability to make good choices in moments of crisis.
There is one particular litany that the main character Paul recites multiple times in the story to calm his fear in the moment.
In this week's podcast I explore how that litany and Paul's journey to conquer his fear has impacted my tapping. I even built a tapping script based on the book's text.
