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

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

33% 0ff Pain Relief Miracle Before I ask a client what they want, I first ask them what they don't want. We are often unclear about what we want. We only know and want to stop what is uncomfortable, disappointing, and displeasing. In this conversation with EFT Founding Master Carol Look we talk about how we can use tapping to get clear about what we want and how to trust our judgment when we are making choices. This may seem like a simple and obvious skill to master, but once you do it will make a huge difference in your daily interactions. Guest: Dr. Carol Look Contact: web @ CarolLook.com; twitter @CarolLookEFT; About Carol: A pioneer in the Energy Psychology field, Dr. Carol Look has brought unprecedented innovations to the application of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and has produced outstanding results for her clients around the world.

33% off Pain Relief Wiracle When I talk about the tapping work I am doing on and for myself, the phrase I always return to is "being comfortable in my own skin". When I am comfortable with who I am in a situation, it is a lot easier for me to be my authentic self. When I am my authentic self, I don't make perfect choices, but I am much more likely to make the choices and take the actions that I will be happy with in the big picture. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to present at the Spring Energy Event outside New York City on this exact topic. In the presentation I share the reasons why we aren't comfortable in our own skin, how our life changes when we are, and a simple tapping exercise you can use to move towards being more comfortable in your own skin. You can hear the full presentation here:  

[33% Off Pain Relief Miracle] The first set of EFT training videos were recorded by Gary Craig over 20 years ago. Gary developed EFT after he trained with Roger Callahan in the tapping protocol Thought Field Therapy, which was developed 10 years prior to that. In the last 30 years there have been many names for and many presentations of tapping. This week I have a conversation with Gwyneth Moss about whether or not there are right or wrong ways to do tapping.

-- 40% Off Adv. Tapping Training | 33% Off PRM -- Animals are highly perceptive when it comes to understanding human emotion. So much so that many animals will pick up and take on the emotions of the humans they are with the most. In this week's podcast I have a conversation with Susanne Peach who has dedicated her career to working with and tapping for animals. She shares what happens when animals take on the emotions of their human companions and how best to tap for them. Susanne's Contact Info: web @ Animaleze.com, phone @ 303.926.5414, e-mail @ contact page About Susanne: Susanne Peach, Animal Energy Behaviorist, has been surrounded by animals her entire life. She has had the opportunity to study the energy of animals in many instances, from time spent on her godmother's farm in Germany to a designation as a certified wildlife rehabilitator. After successfully using EFT on humans, she learned by trial and error how to apply it to animals. She has dedicated her life to helping animals have emotionally happ

-- 40% Off Adv. Tapping Training | 33% Off Pain Relief Miracle -- As humans, one of our natural dispositions is to create stories about why the world functions the way it does. This is a primitive skill that kept our ancestors safe. For example, when we see tracks in the mud we write the story "These tracks were created by a large animal that will mistake me for dinner. I had better walk in the other direction." Because the function of these stories is to keep us safe, our subconscious mind is not satisfied if we don't have a story and will create one in its absence. That’s why our actions can be influenced and guided by stories that are not true. This can happen with the stories we tell about ourselves about why we are the way we are and who we can be. In this conversation, Jacqui Crooks and I discuss these stories we have about ourselves that are no longer true and useful. She also shares how we can transform these stories.   Guest: Jacqui Crooks Contact Jacqui: web @ JacquiCrooks.com About Jacqui: Jacqui i

-- 40% off Adv Tapping Training | 33% Pain Relief Miracle -- One of the reasons that EFT is so powerful is because of how easy it is to use, anytime, anywhere. You don't need someone else to tap with and it is super easy to have a daily tapping practice. But sometimes that is not enough. Sometimes you need help from the outside. It can also be beneficial to take time away from your daily life to work in a concentrated way. This week I talk with Joanne Callahan about the importance and power of going on a healing retreat.

--33% off Pain Relief Miracle-- Just because you know the basics of EFT doesn't mean that you can use it effectively when tapping on your own. This week in the podcast I talk to Ann Adams, who I believe is one of the best EFT trainers in the world. In our conversation we talk about the roadblocks people run into when they are tapping on their own. In her typical fashion, Ann provides very practical ways to be more effective with your tapping. Even if you are an old pro with tapping you will find ways to be more effective. Guest: Ann Adams Contact: web @ FromTheDeskOfAnnAdams.com About: Ann Adams’ vision is to train and mentor EFT practitioners and other helping professionals to integrate the powerful tool of EFT into their existing toolkit in the most effective way so that the work they already do with others becomes even more powerful, effective and efficient.

--33% Off Your First Pain Relief Miracle Order-- A reality of modern life is our connection with others on social media. Social media in itself isn't good or bad; it's simply a tool we can use. On one hand social media channels can help us to find information we wouldn't know about, stay connected to loved ones, and connect with like minded people we wouldn't have met otherwise. On the other hand it can create a flood of information that can overwhelm us. Every time we check in we can see how others are doing so much better than us, which can create a feeling of shame. This week I have a conversation with Jenn Goddard about how we are impacted by social media and how we can tap to have a healthier experience with social media.

[33% Your First Pain Relief Miracel Order] If I were to sum up all of my own personal development work for the last decade I would say it has been a process of becoming more "comfortable inside of my own skin". For me that phrase describes not only being OK with myself, but being in a place where I recognize my own worth and feeling comfortable in acknowledging that worth. When I operate from that mindset I find that my daily life is easier and I make better choices. When author Gala Darling talks about the same concept she uses the term "radical self love". In this week's interview we talk about what radical self love means to her and what we can do to have more of it in our lives. One of the reasons that I wanted to interview Gala is because, unlike many of my interviewees, she is not a tapping practitioner but is someone who has found tapping to be a powerful tool in her own life.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle There is an interesting phenomena that crops up when using EFT. Sometimes you can be using tapping successfully for a while, but then it stops working. There are two main reasons why this happens. In this week’s podcast we are going to explore both of these reasons and what you can do to make your tapping effective again.

[10 Question System | 33% off Pain Relief Miracle] If you are wondering if you have emotional blocks to taking action, I have a very simple way for you to tell. If you know what you want to do, know how to do it, have everything you need to take action, and still don't do it, then you have emotional blocks to taking that action. This week I interview EFT Universe's Dawson Church about what happens on a neurological level when emotions get in the way of action and how we can tap to find relief AND take action. During the interview I refer to a process I use to tap for my to-do list. Here is full audio on how I tap for my to-do list. Guest: Dawson Church, Ph.D Contact: web @ EFTUniverse.com Bio: Dawson Church is the author/coauthor of 8 books (including The Genie In Your Genes) and manages the web site EFTUniverse.com. He travels the world as a trainer and speaker. His passion is tapping and getting tapping into the hands of those who could benefit most from its power. If you are interested in this type of rese

Off Pain Relief Miricle When I was in my twenties it felt as if I was going to live forever. I gave little thought to how I ate, when I went to bed, or how I treated my body in general. Now that I am in my forties there are mornings when I can tell exactly what I ate or drank the night before just by how my body feels. I'm not exactly sure when it happened. One day I felt like I was immortal, the next day not so much. In today's interview I talk with Gregg Levoy about the aging process, the emotions that accompany it, and how we can tap for that experience. During this interview we reference this article: Top Five Regrets of the Dying Guest: Gregg Levoy Contact: web @ GreggLevoy.com About Gregg: Gregg Levoy is the author of Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion, and the bestselling Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life rated among the "Top 20 Career Publications" by the Workforce Information Group.

[33% of Pain Relief Miracle] I am constantly amazed at how willing parents are to put their children first. It’s common for parents to make sure their child's needs are met before they do anything for themselves. As well meaning as this is, it can cause problems in the long term. By always putting their family first and not taking care of themselves parents can find themselves unable to be the best parent they could be. One of the most important ways that parents can take care of their children is to make sure they also take care of themselves. This week I interview Heather Chauvin about how parents can use tapping to be better parents.

[Comprehensive Anger Management For Free | 33% Off Pain Relief Miracle] There is a very primitive part of our nature that knows we are safest when we belong. This instinct was a key to survival for our nomadic ancient ancestors who sought safety in numbers at times of danger. While we no longer have to worry about being attacked by large animals, humans still have a strong instinct that tells us belonging means safety. This is one of the reasons it can feel so devastating when we let someone else down. In addition to not living up to our work or their expectations, letting down others triggers the fear of ostracisation and we feel unsafe as a result. Even if this is far from the reality of a situation, it is often how we respond emotionally. This week we tap for the fear of letting others down. Even if you can't think of a specific example in your life right now, it is likely that this issue is lurking below the surface. Take a few moments to tap along.

[Gene's book Comprehensive Anger Management] We all know that the more specific we can be when tapping, the more effective it will be. As a concept this is easy to understand, but in practice it is much harder to implement. Humans are complicated creatures. We can talk about the difference between our mind, body, and spirit, but the lines between these three are blurry. As a simple example, the thoughts in my mind can impact my physical body. To help manage the complicated system that we are, employing a healing framework as a lens to facilitate the healing process can be helpful. This week I have a conversation with Deborah Donndelinger about three such systems to help us find our way to root causes. Deborah compares and contrasts the three, shares how to use each, and which might be most useful for you based on the issues you are tapping for.

Here in the United States it already feels as if the Presidential election campaign has been going on for way too long. And we still have eight more months to go. The lead story (and often the first five stories) on the nightly news is invariably about the election. One of the most difficult parts of the election season is hearing most of the candidates talking about how bad everything is. They focus on negativity so that they can talk about how great they are and how they are the key to a brighter future. This sustained daily dose of negativity can take an emotional toll. This week I chat with Brad Yates about how we can participate in the process fully without being overwhelmed by the negativity. I have a feeling this is an interview you will come back to a number of times throughout the election season.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle One of the reasons that we love tapping so much is its versatility. Because we can use tapping in so many different settings it can often be confusing to know exactly how to tap in a given moment. For example, there is a huge difference between tapping with someone who is emotional in a public setting versus working with a client one-on-one in the safety of a practitioner's private office. Our primary goal when tapping with someone in a public setting or when we have limited time to deal with an issue is to return the person we are working with to a state of calm. By doing this we can keep them safe and also avoid uncovering a bigger issue that can't be resolved in the moment. Jondi Whitis has created a wonderful process, which she refers to as emotional first aid, which is a systematic way of helping someone to an emotionally safe space in public or in a short amount of time. In this week's podcast she shares how the process came about and how you can ensure that you are tapping w

33% off Pain Relief Miracle | Tapping to stop self-sabotage Not all physical pain is the same. Pain can have many different root causes ranging from physical wounds to emotional issues. Some pain passes as the body heals, while other pain in chronic. In this week's podcast I talk to Dan Cleary. Dan was in a motorcycle accident which damaged his right arm. Because of the accident, to this day, the nerve connected to his right arm are being pulled from his spinal cord causing him great pain. Because of this experience he has dedicated with work to helping people with pain. In this interview we talk about why he never uses the word pain management, the types of pain (chronic and acute), and how to approach each with tapping.

Work with Gene | 33% off Pain Relief Miracle Good communication is hard. It is easy to be misunderstood because we all understand specific words in different ways. I can say one thing and yet you may understand something completely different. More than likely when you think of allergies you imagine a runny nose because of flower pollen, or someone having a dangerous reaction to eating nuts or shellfish. For this week's podcast we are using a much broader definition of allergy. In this context we are talking about how when we encounter one substance it reminds us on a subconscious level of something negative. This is a subtle concept, but one that I have found to be important to health and healing. To talk about this concept I turned to Sandi Radomski as it was her work that originally introduced me to this idea and informs my own work with kids who have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. In the interview we discuss a new way to look at the term ‘allergy’ and how you can approach allergies with ta
