Eft/tapping Q & A Podcast W/ Gene Monterastelli - Emotional Freedom Techniques

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle Anything that is new and different takes time to be accepted into the mainstream. EFT is no different. EFT has the added hurdle of often being paired with other practices and modalities that are outside the mainstream. In this conversation I talk with Manal Khalife about how we can best present EFT to individuals and communities who would not see the value of tapping, and might even perceive it as dangerous. Guest: Manal Khalife Contact: Web @ ManalKhalife.com/; twiter @ iammanalk; facebook @ iammanalk; About: Manal Khalife is a Stress and Emotions Coach, helping women who want to learn how to handle stress, let go of emotional pain, make peace with past experiences, and move forward with confidence. She specializes in working with postpartum depression.

There is so much of the world that we do not control. We are surrounded by people, just like us, who are making choices and exercising their free will. In many ways, we can't escape the impact of other people's choices, especially when we are collaborating with others. That means we often have to wait on someone else to make a choice so that we can move forward with what we want to do. We can be worried that they will make a choice that we don't like OR we can feel stuck because we can't do anything until they choose. Here is a simple tap-along to find peace while waiting on others to choose. A full transcript of the tap-along can be found below the player.  

33% off Pain Relief Miracle Once we have learned a basic skill, our ability to be successful while doing that skill is very dependent on how we are fteeling at the time of performing the action. If we feel confident, we will perform to the best of our ability and will be able to handle problems with grace and ease. If we feel worried or overwhelmed, we will make mistakes and not perform at our best. Gina Parris works closely with business professionals and athletes to help them to work at their peak state. In this conversation we talk about what can get in the way of peak performance and how we can use tapping to perform better.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle Fear is one of our most primitive defense mechanisms. It is the reason that humans as a species exist. Our ability to notice danger and to feel are what keep us safe. The problem is that we don't live in the same world we did 10,000 years ago. We no longer need to be on guard at all times for fear of being eaten by wild animals. The way we feel fear has not evolved to match the world we live in. Because of this, our subconscious disposition is towards fear. This makes openness, connection, and love harder. This week I have a conversation with Rick Wilkes about fear, love, the primitive brain, and how we can use EFT to transform our daily experience to be filled with more love and more connection.

33% Off Pain Relief Mircale Healthy boundaries are important for our wellbeing, both in the short and long term. The struggle comes when we encounter someone in pain. As caring people it can feel cold and heartless to create a boundary of any sort in this setting. This week I talk about how to create boundaries in a way that allows us to be loving, supportive people while also taking care of our own health. Then we do some tapping for the resistance to creating boundaries. I recognize the fact there is a swirl of information that is around me every single day...If I absorbed every piece of information and if I absorbed every emotion everyone experienced...Then it would be way too much...It would be overwhelming...It would be all-consuming...It would be impossible for me for me to be able to provide aid...I give myself permission to know that when I create good boundaries...I am not blocking the world out...I am not preventing those I need to be present to from having access to me...Instead I am making sure t

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle The emotional journey that mothers go through during the birth of their children is increasingly better understood. Birth is not only a physically taxing process, but it also takes a significant emotional toll. Because there is now a tiny little human that needs so much attention, it is very common for mothers to neglect their self-care. In many cases mothers even feel guilty for having any needs at all. This week I have a conversation with Manal Khalife about postpartum depression and how we can tap in response to it. Even if you are not a mother, you will find this conversation helpful as a guide to supporting those who are going through it.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle There are times in our life where we feel like we are out of place. We feel like we don't belong because don't feel like we are smart enough, popular enough, pretty enough, or something else enough. When this happens to me there is a small part inside my mind that wished the earth would just open up and swallow me whole so I didn't have to be seen. I recognize the fact that there are times where I feel like I don't belong in any meaningful way...I feel like I'm not smart enough...that i'm not good enough...that I'm not talented enough...that I'm just not enough...when this happens I simply want to disappear...when this happens I don't want to be known anyway...when this happens I wish I didn't have to be there at all...I feel insignificant...I feel scared...I feel like I'm only causing problems...I feel like I'm only a burden...I recognize the fact that when I'm in a situation like this I'm not actually standing out...I'm not actually being noticed...almost everybody present too b

-- 33% off your first order of Pain Relief Miracle -- A few weeks ago I put out the call for your questions about EFT and how to best use it. I received a number of amazing questions. (Note: If you would like a question answered on a future podcast please send it to me via this link) In this episode I answer questions about: The phrases I use when I tap. Surrogate tapping for the physical and emotional needs of loved ones. How to use the SUDs scale when you don't like using numbers. Saying tapping phrases out loud when you are tapping alone.

When Gary Craig first introduced EFT he very intentionally presented it in a way in that encouraged others build upon his work, much in the same way he had built upon Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy (TFT). To stress this point, Gary named his new process Emotional Freedom Techniques. Please note the "s" on the end of Techniques, for all the different ways could be done. Matrix Reimprinting, which was developed by Founding EFT Master Karl Dawson, is one of the best known of the EFT iterations. In this interview we compare and contrast EFT to Matrix Reimprinting. Even if you have no plans to study Matrix Reimprinting, there are a number of tips you can take from this conversation to add to your tapping.

[33% Off Pain Relief Miracle] Before I commit to working with a new client we have a conversation to see if we will be a good fit for each other. First, I ask the potential client what they would like to change in their life. At this point they usually give me a clear description of what is wrong and I follow up by asking what they would like instead. They are often unable to answer the question because they are so stuck in their problem that they can't clearly see what they would like instead. Without a clear understanding of what we want it’s hard, if not impossible, to move forward. One the key components of knowing what we want is having a clear idea of what we value. JB Glossinger found that once he was able clearly to name his top six values, changing his life and his lifestyle became much easier. In this conversation JB and I talk about the importance of naming our values, how to do just that, and how we can take action after our values are clear.

33% Pain Relief Miracle Even those just starting out with tapping know that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) works via the meridian system. I know that when I am explaining tapping to the uninitiated I will just say, "It is like acupuncture without needles." When Roger Callahan first developed Thought Field Therapy (TFT), the precursor to EFT, he devised a system of tapping in which specific points were matched to particular issues. When Gary Craig developed EFT he decided that instead of determining which exact point would be best to tap on, it would be better just tap on all of them. For years I have wanted to learn more about the complexities of the meridian system. I have also wondered if that knowledge might improve my tapping. In this week’s podcast my conversation with Beth Kearn, an acupuncturist, helped me to figure that out. Guest: Beth Kearn Contact Beth: web @ louisvillewellcenter.com About Beth: Beth is a fully licensed acupuncturist in the State of Colorado. She is a certified Diplomat (Dipl.A

33% off Pain Relief Miracle | Ask a question for a future podcast. My favorite phrase that I hear from my clients when we are in the middle of a session is "this probably has nothing to do with it, but…" and then they share some story that seems unconnected. We usually find that a story coming out of left field like this has everything to do with it. It never ceases to amaze me how much we carry our past into each moment of our lives and how much that past impacts us. I have spoken to a number clients in the last few weeks who have felt that they weren't worthy of something good in the present because of a poor choice they made in the past. It is important that we take responsibility for our choices, but that does not mean that we have to remain a prisoner to our choices for all time. Here is a tap-along to help you face those past choices of which you are not proud.

-- 33% off Pain Relief Miracle -- It is natural to want credit for the work that we do. Being given credit and recognition feeds our healthy human need for being acknowledged as significant. It’s normal to want to feel as though your contribution matters. Conflict can come up when we do not receive the credit we feel we deserve. When there is a sense of unfulfilled deserving it’s easy to feel hard done by, which in turn can give rise to bitterness and resentment. This week I have a tap-along audio to help you when you are feeling bitter and resentful about not receiving the credit you are due. Even if this isn't an emotion you are aware of on the surface, I am willing to bet that is lurking at a deeper level.   Do you have a question about tapping or topic you would like us to cover?

- 33% off Pain Relief Miracle - We can find ourselves in the middle of catastrophe in an instant. A catastrophe can impact us personally (like a fire in our home) or can involve our entire community (like a natural disaster or mass violence). When this happens we are faced with dealing with the issue in the moment and also its aftermath. In this conversation Jenn Goddard and I talk about how to respond in the moment, what to do in the short term, what to do in the long term, and how to gain perspective. We also do some tapping which could be helpful in such circumstances. This audio can be used two ways. First, it is useful to equip yourself with tools so that if you find yourself in a catastrophic situation, you are prepared. Second, in the middle of something tragic the tap-along will provide relief.

- 33% off PRM - There is a complicated relationship between reality and what we believe about the world. We behave as if our beliefs are true. We act as if our beliefs are reality. On a subconscious level we experience our beliefs as reality, which can create complications in daily life.

-- 33% off Pain Relief Miracle -- Responding to the consequences of sexual violence is complicated. First, it can affect those parts of life related to sexuality, intimacy, and relationships. Second, sexual violence doesn't have include physical violence to be damaging and violating. There are many times when victims don't recognize that they have been victimized. In this conversation with Alina Frank we talk about the ways that sexual violence can impact lives and how we can work towards healing these wounds. This is a frank conversation about a difficult topic. If you are not comfortable or it is not safe for you to listen to this type of conversation, then please make sure you make a good, healthy choice. Also, this is provided as information and is not a substitute for treatment.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle When we are in the middle of a strong emotion it is hard to believe that our emotional state is a choice. In those moments it feels like an outside force has taken over our body and our experience. It is possible for us to gain more control over our emotional state and even get to a point where we are able to choose our emotional response. In this conversation Deborah Miller and I talk about how we are impacted by our emotions, what we can learn from that, and how we can change negative emotions into more positive ones.

We have control over very little in this world. We can control our thoughts, actions, and emotional responses. And that is about it. Because of this it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the barrage of negative news (of which we have had more than our fair share this week). When I am able to recognize what I do control and how powerful that control can be in my own life, the easier each moment is and the more powerful my action becomes. Here is a simple tap-along to help lift your mood (and bring hope) when it feels as if there is just too much to manage every day.   EFT For Emotions In The Wake Of Tragedy
