Gene host's a radio program every other Tuesday @ Emotional Freedom Techniques Community Radio. In the most recent show Gene answered questions from beginners and practitioners alike from all over the world.

Our ability to be successful with any task is not just dependent on our skill set, but also our mental mind frame before, during, and after we are taking action. This mind frame cannot only impact our ability but also how we learn new tasks and improve our skill. In this podcast I talk Jared Tendler. Jared work with golfers and poker players around their mindset and mental game. Both of these games are great look at how we are impacted by mindset because of the immediate feedback we get from each choice. In this interview Jared talks about many different ways in which we can look at our mental makeup and how it relates to choice. The experienced tapper will see right away how to combine these mindset approaches with our Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping.

In a number of Gary Craig's original EFT DVDs he talked about how helpful knowing and understanding NLP concepts. I can speak from my own experience at how valuable these principles, concepts, and techniques are when working with clients or doing self-work. In this pod I interview the National Foundation Of Neuro Linguistic Programming founder Dr. Wil Horton. In this interview we talk about the different logical levels of change. When we recognize all of the different levels in which change can happen at it can speed the healing process as well as identify the places we need to do extra work.

Tapping can be used to help manage the functions and systems of the body. Often times our system can be hyper functioning or under functioning. Here is a great little tool I use to help us to tune into the body and get a sense of what is going on in the body and how we can tap for it.

As time passes I am working more and more with clients around practice building. There is a real feeling of "try it on everything" in the Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping community, but as we move from helping our friends with head aches and craving for chocolate on to working with clients we need more than just a willing spirit. In this interview EFT Master Carol Look speaks very frankly about two keys to keep in mind when you starting a practice.

Nuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a very powerful tool to help you to understand where you are standing and to help you to make choices to transform your life. NLP and EFT/tapping are a match made in heaven. More than likely you are already using NLP techniques and don’t even know it. In this pod Gene explains one of those techniques.

Most of us who have private practices or what private practices want to spend time helping our clients. We don't want to spend time marketing. Not because we don't think marketing is important, but because we aren't very good at it or even worse it is scary. In this podcast I talk to Pamela Bruner and we discover that not only do you need to be marketing for your own sake, but for your clients sake. We talk about the unique challenges that transformational entrepreneurs have in marketing their products and services. This is a must listen to if you have a practice or would one day like one

One of the most powerful insights I have had in my practice in the last 18 months was the recognition that every issue we have is trying to serve us in some way. This does not mean that issue is successful in doing so. In many cases the effort of the issue is making our life much worse. In podcast I explain an easy 9 step process you can use with tapping to transform your issues in to powerful resources for growth.

I receive questions all the time about how one can tap to change someone else. There are some very specific implementations of surrogate tapping (like the work I do with autistic children). But it is not as simple as tapping to change the choices of someone else. We can't tap to change someone else free will, but we can tap to create an environment where we give others a chance to make new and different choices. In this podcast I explain 3 ways in which we can take to help others to make different choices by working on our own emotions, make others feel loved and save, and by not bring our issues to the table.

We spend as much as one half of our waking hours at work. Not only is it important that we have a way of dealing with the stress of our jobs, but we also need to help manage the way this stress might affect the rest of our lives. In this interview with Pamela Bruner we talk about how we can use tapping to deal with work place stress, how to use tapping to improve our performance on the job, and how to use tapping to keep the work stress from creeping into other parts of our lives.

The extra weight that we hold is often times associated with and symptoms of deeper emotional issues. In this interview Catherine Poole talks about what emotions are most often associated with the different problems areas of weight gain. Once we are able to understand the emotional roots of the weight we are carrying it becomes easier for us to release both the emotional wound as well at the physical weight.

One of the most often used terms and at the same time most misunderstood term used by people in the tapping community is "psychological reversal". In this interview, in easy to understand language, Gwenn Bonnell describes what PR is, what is symptoms are, and many techniques for clearing it.

Writing a description of an interview with Rick Wilkes is always a difficult task. On the surface there is the topic at hand for the interview, but when we are chatting things move more much far afield into deep issues of healing and well-being than just the topic at hand. In this interview we talk about the spectrum from feeling completely and irrationally unsafe to complete and total inanition. Anytime there is resistance to change it is really important to ask "Do we feel safe making this change?" In the interview we talk about a number of ways of framing this question to make is more accessible for every issue. In addition to talk about extreme fears and uncomfortable situation we talk about finding space that is safe to heal and what true healing means. This is not just about eliminating fear, but being in a space of feeling alive in every way.

One of the most difficult parts of tapping is trying to figure out what the root cause is the current emotions we are feeling. There are times when we have a guess of a past event might be that is associated with what is going on, but many times even when we have a guess we are not certain it is the right issue to work on. In this podcast Tania A. Prince explains part of the process she calls Deep State RePatterning which gives us access to information about a past event. Not only does the process give us access into the subconscious mind to find information it also allows us to do this safely and gives us an opportunity to do transformation work with that information.
