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

Sometimes we won't tap because we think an issue is too big. Or we feel like we can't make enough progress to make worth our while. When tapping sometimes doing just a little is enough to make a big difference. In this short video we look at how easy it is to make space for the healing process by doing a little tapping.

There are times when we find ourselves caring for someone who is going through something major, be it a physical or mental issue. We want nothing but the best for our loved one, but we can end up spreading ourselves too thin. We give everything we have to the point that we are harming ourselves. It is important that when we are caring for others that we take the time to also care for ourselves. If we don't take care of ourselves we can't care for others. In this interview I talk to Ron Ball as he shares his personal story of what it is like providing long term care for a loved one and what he learned about taking care of himself during that time.

Tapping can be used in lots of different way. One way we can use it is to tap before we eat to insure better digestion, more enjoyment of the meal, and a great sense of the giftedness. In this short video I explain how to use tapping before we eat.

There is a lot of talk about the idea of what we manifest in our lives, both positive and negative. I personally think that we pay too much attention to manifesting and attracting and give nowhere near enough credit to personal choice and response. In this conversation with my friend Jondi Whitis we talk about what we can control, what we create, and what we are responsible for. This is just one point of view and I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic. Subscribe to the podcast in iTunes What are your thoughts on create, manifest, and responsibility?

Sometimes when we are tapping we will get our SUDs level down to less than a two. Sometimes it is even to the point where it just feels like a shadow of the issue. When this happens there is a very simple way to knock out that last little bit. In this video I explain how to take care of this.

Our romantic relationships take up a great deal of our time and energy. They can bring us great joy and great frustration (and even both at that exact same time). Even though each relationship is a new and different experience we can find ourselves falling in to the same patterns. Some patterns repeat themselves from relationship to relationship. Other patterns keep repeating themselves over and over again inside of the current relationship. In this interview with Alina Frank we talk about how we can identify these patters and how they were created. We also spend time looking at how we can use tapping/EFT to clear the negative patterns in our current relationships and clear the patterns of having the same type of negative relationship experience again and again.

Before I tap with clients we take a close look at what is going on in their lives. We try to find the patterns of life to see want needs to be changed. There is one questions that gets to the core of this. In this video we explore that questions.

In this interview Rue Hass shares a new techniques that she is using which uses metaphors and having clients draw pictures. It is absolutely brilliant. The technique is simple and elegant. As she was describing it I could see immediately how this could fit into my practice. I know you are going to love this!

Sometimes there is resistance to clearing an issue (physical, emotional, and limiting belief) because we are emotionally charged about the issue we are dealing with. We might feel disappointed in ourselves for dealing with this issue, or sad that our body has let us down. In this video we explore how to clear this resistance so clear the core issue is easer.

A manifesto is nothing more than a statement of beliefs. This is what I believe about the healing process. This is not about tapping the tool, but what happens when we heal and transform. This is how I think when I am working with clients. What You Will Learn In "Recovering Self - A Healing Manifesto": Why you stop the healing process even when you know the steps you should take Why others don't want you to heal The two categories that all healing falls into What you need to know (and what you don't need to know) to heal How to stop fighting yourself and start healing

The history of business is a history about how companies and organizations can be more efficient. Much of this work is about how companies and organizations can create an environment where they can get their employees to be more productive. For most of history this has been about automating processes, educating employees, and learning how to empower employees to make better choice. Today, forward thinking companies like Google and Zappos are starting to look beyond people as cogs in the machine that fill specific tasks, but starting to see them as whole people. When companies feed and support the whole person they are finding their employees are happier, healthier, and more productive. Regardless if you work for someone else, if you employ people, or don't work in a traditional job the lessons about emotional intelligence that these companies are learning can be applied directly to your daily life. In this interview I talk to Paul Zeilzer about what he has learned by visiting companies like Google and Zappos and how they can applied to our daily lives to increase our success.

Many of the practitioners I know are very spiritual people, but for one reason or another they are not connected to a particular denomination or faith tradition. My friend Jake Khym is a different in that regard. He explicitly does Christian counseling. In this conversation we talk about how and why he transitioned from traditional counseling to Christian counseling and how his work now looks different. Also, we spend a great deal of time talking about what it means to provide instruction and teaching in a discipleship relationship vs. what a therapist would normally do. Even if you are not Christian you are going to find this to be a fascinating conversation. Jake is one of the brights and most articulate people I know. His insights in to how people transform and what people are longing for are insightful and will help you with your healing journey regardless how you approach spiritually, faith, or religion.

There has been lots conversation in the last few months about certification, who is doing certification, what is the best certification, and do you even need certification at all. Here is my take on this.

I am asked all the time, "Do I need to say the phrases out loud?" It is not matter of need. It is a matter of what is helpful. The words are not magic, but they can make all the difference. Check out this very short audio to here how words can transform.

I had a really interesting conversation with one of my clients this week about goals. It is obviously that having goals are important (multiple studies have proven this), but goals have their limits. If we become to transfixed on the goal with can miss other greatness. If we only focus on the goal itself we can lose our passion. To me there is something much more important than the goal. It is why you want this goal. Listen to how I the "why" of the goal can make all the difference.
