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

Stop Self-Sabotage Class For me, I find it more frustrating to know what to do and not do it than I do not knowing what to do. It quickly can turn into me beating myself up for not taking care of my. This week I have a tap along audio to help you release the feelings of frustration, failure, and shame that come with not tapping when we know it is best of us. Yes, I understand the irony of asking you to tap for not tapping, but it works. Below the audio player is the full tapping script so you tap-along at your own pace if you would like.

Our bodies are far from perfect. With each passing moment they are aging and showing those changes. We are our own worst critics when we look in the mirror. We see each and every blemish. We notice even the slightest change. Even the smallest imperfection can seem like a big deal. At the exact same time, our bodies are amazing! They are a community of over 37 trillion cells that are working together every moment of the day. There are countless systems and processes working faultlessly to which we give no conscious thought. Today we are going to tap to appreciate our bodies more. I have found that when I do this type of tapping regularly I am healthier and happier.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle Last week I shared with you a simple process for letting go of the issues, worries, and wounds of 2016. This week we are going to tap to start 2017 off on the right foot. I love this particular tapping process because it is a chance for us to turn inward and give all parts of our system the chance to state what they need in the year ahead. Just like last week, I recommend that you do this process once a day for a week. I am certain you will be amazed by how the process changes each time you do it.

This week I have for you a process that will lead you through a simple reflection of your year. This is a great process because it is set up to allow you to heal and release wounds from the last year, but without having to dive into the details. Think of this as a gentle way to do a little emotional housekeeping.

On some level we know that getting a good night’s sleep is important. I know the quality of my sleep impacts how I handle each day. But did you know: Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development. The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others. That is a direct quote from Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute at the National Institute of Health which is run

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle The holiday season is a time for spending time with friends and family, parties, celebration, and fun. But because there is soooooo much packed into this time of year there can also be a great deal of additional stress. To help you through the holiday season I have four different tapping scripts for you. Too many activities going on (4m56s) Having to spend time with people you might not choose to spend time with (9m27s) Financial stress because of holiday spending (13m35s) Feeling disconnected from the meaning of the season (18m05s) Note: The time code after each of the topics above is the place in the audio where that particular tap-along begins.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle I have found in my own life that one of the most powerful emotions is gratitude. When we feel a sense of gratitude, even during trying times, it moves us to a disposition of possibility. It is important to note that this is not some fake, Pollyannish sense of hopefulness. It is possible to have a healthy sense of what is truly going on in our lives and be thankful at the same time. Here is a very simple tap-along to help you to connect with a healthy and genuine sense of gratitude. I recognize the fact that my life is not perfect...I recognize the fact that the world is not perfect...I recognize the fact there are lots of things that I would change if I could change them...I know the lives around me aren't perfect either...But at the exact same time I appreciate the fact that there are many things that are good...There are many things that are great...Even though my body is not perfect...I am thankful to have a body to move through this world with...Even though my mind is not perf

33% off Pain Relief Miracle | 10 Part Guide To Ending Self-Sabotage Note: This week's topic is so important that I have written an article and recorded a podcast. The article shares the same ideas, but is not a transcript of the podcast. This way you can choose the form that works best for you. The tapping script is identical in the article and podcast. I think being selfish gets are really bad rap. Most people think that being selfish is bad. We are taught we must not be selfish, but instead we must be giving. Personally don’t believe selfish and giving are opposite. Instead, I believe that every act I make is a selfish act because it is a self-defining act. Let me give you a few ridicules examples to help prove my point. Right now as I type the article I am taking a deep breath in which means I am being selfish. There is no other reason to breath than to stay alive. That is very selfish. When I choose to love my family I am being selfish because I want to be a loving person. When I choose to love someon

10 Part Guide To Stopping Self-Sabotage | 33% Pain Relief Miracle When we are in a great deal of emotional or physical pain it can be a struggle to believe it can get better. We might believe that our situation can be manageable, but we have lost hope in true transformation. Once we feel hopeless, our natural state is not to take action. Subconsciously we understand that if better isn't possible, then taking action will be a waste of time. We choose to do nothing in order to save fruitless effort. Julie Schiffman has come up with the perfect tapping tool for times like these. Instead pushing ourselves to what feels unreasonable, it is a form of tapping were we simply wonder "what would happen if" our situation were to change. It is a very gentle tool that will move us from hopelessness to action. In this conversation not only does Julie share how to do it, she gives a great demonstration to which you can tap along.

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.

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.

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.
