EFT/Tapping Q and A Podcast with Gene Monterastelli – Emotional Freedom Techniques

This is a slightly different type of podcast. Instead of a straightforward teaching or an interview it is much more a conversation. The topic of the conversation with my friend Jondi Whitis where we talk about using tapping protocols and how we find our ways to core issues.

Today's podcast is an interview with Jesse Jacobs and is little different. I first heard Jesse interviewed by Dan Benjamin on the show "The Pipeline" which is business show. Dan was interviewing Jesse about the tea house that he runs in San Francisco. What caught my attention was the last five minutes of the interview in which he started to talk about the power of ritual in how he has created work that he loves and a life that feeds him. In this interview we spend a little time talking about how moved for being a techie to created a space where people could relax, be at peace, and make real connections with other. The bulk of the interview is spent talking about this idea of ritual. We talk about the power of ritual, how it can ground us, and how we can add a daily ritual to our life.

I have a real problem with the word "fix". It means that something is broken. There are a number of draw back to looking at any issue or part of our life as broken. In this audio (with full transcript) we look at the key differences between fix and transform.

How can I tap on more than one issue at a time? I was asked by one of my clients how it is possible to tap on multiple issues all at once. This is one of my favorite tools. You can do this technique for any group of issues and it can be quickly after you hear it once.

This is a slightly different type of podcast. Instead of a straightforward teaching or an interview it is much more a conversation. The topic of the conversation with my friend Sue is cravings, eating, and weight release. Because of the nature of conversation we touch on many other things.

More and more I am seeing clients with the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. In this interview I spend time with EFT Rue Hass talking about her experience with clients who are experiencing symptoms of fibromyalgia. We talk about causes as well things she has seen in her practice that has been helpful for these symptoms

As of January 1st there are new free Tap-Alongs added to the site every Monday. Here is a sample of one of these audios.

When I approached my friend and fellow practitioner Rob Sherwin about what topic he wanted to talk about in a podcast interview he recommended a conversation about self-compassion. At the time of the interview I was completely unfamiliar with the word. Self-compassion is in stark contrast to self-esteem. It is very much about seeing yourself the same way you see others. Often we are able to understand when others fail and we are supportive, but when we fail we are very hard on ourselves. Self-compassion is about be able to extend that say time of love and understanding towards ourselves. In this interview we talk more in-depth about what self-compassion is and practical ways in which we can incorporate it into our daily lives and our daily tapping.

In this very unique audio you will not only get the opportunity to hear me working one-on-one with a real client, but you will also get to hear the reason why I am making the choices I am making with the client. Every so often you will hear me break into the session to explain my thought process at that moment.

There are few things that are more emotionally charged than money. Often times one of the reasons we talk in terms of abundance and success is because we don't even want to say "I want money" or "I want cash" out loud. In this interview with Margaret Lynch shares the four areas of money that we can tune into and start clearing issues right away. This is a very pragmatic interview that will give you steps you can take right away.

We spend a great deal of our day in the work that we do. Not only does our working hours consume our time but it also consumes our emotions and our energy. In this interview with Rick Wilkes we talk about how stress and trauma in our personal and professional lives can affect our ability to be success and healthy in our work life. We talk about ways of discovering how these past trauma's are impacting us now and how we can use tapping to clear these so we can be more present in the moment.

One of the biggest challenges of the modern world is being fully present in this moment. We are seem to be being pulling in a million directions all the time between the media we are consuming (even if it is just constantly chattering in the back ground), the loved ones we want to give our attention to, all the tasks that need to be done during the day, and all we would like to achieve for our own growth. Being present in this moment is a really challenge. In this interview with Ted Robinson we talk about how being present in this moment can be a real benefit to us and how we can us tapping to help us to achieve this state.

Tapping is great for physical pain and physical issues. When most people are introduced to tapping they learn to deal with pain by tapping on "this pain in my knee...this pain in my knee...this pain in my knee". In this interview with Carol Look we examine more advanced ways to look at the emotions that are associated with the physical pain and how in many cases when we deal with the emotional issues we find our way to physical relief.

One of the things I love about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is how flexible the tool set it. Not only is it a great stand along tool, but it is something that can be joined with lots of other tool sets. In this interview I talk with Betty Moore-Hafter about the lessons she has learned from other tool sets and how you can easily add them into your own tapping. This is easy stuff that anyone can do.

One of the biggest hang-ups my clients have when tapping on their own is knowing what tune into and how to find past memories or core issues. Tania A Prince has developed a very easy process that only requires the person who is doing Emotional Freedom Techniques to tune into how they know they have the issue. It is really that easy. In this interview Tania explains EFT Inner RePatterning and how to do it.
