Pod #72: Strengthening Romantic Relationships with Tapping/EFT w/ Alina Frank | 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. | 2/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #71: Using Metaphors For Healing w/ Rue Hass | 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! | 1/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #70: Recovering Self – A Healing Manifesto | 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 | 1/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #69: What Google and Zappos Know About Emotions That You Should Know Too w/ Paul Zelizer | 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. | 1/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #68: Therapy v. Discipleship w/ Jake Khym | 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. | 1/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #26: The Most Misunderstood Part Of Tapping – The Word You Say | 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. | 12/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #25: The One Thing That Is More Important Than Your Goals | 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. | 12/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #24: What does forgiveness really mean? (Includes Tap-Along) | It is important to remember that forgiveness is primarily about our health, well being, and healing. We often think it is about the person we need to forgive. To be honest, the person we need to forgive isn't thinking about us and they aren't thinking about how they wronged us. We are the ones who are stuck in this. Here is a quick explanation of how I approach forgiveness (and it inclues a some tapping you can do right now to feel better). | 11/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #23 – How To Begin A Tapping/EFT Session | One of the nice things about tapping is that we can just jump right in to doing work anytime and anywhere. Even though we can just start I have found that if we give some thought to how we begin we can make sure the tapping time is more effective. To start almost every session (either with clients or when I am tapping on my own) I use these five steps. | 9/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #22 – My Favorite Tapping Tool: About, To, and As If | When I work with clients I like to teach them practical tools so that they are not dependent on our client sessions for progress. I want them to be able to continue to move forward on their. There are two tools that I teach the most because I think they are 1) very easy to do. 2) very versatile and 3) very powerful. (I will share the other tool in a future podcast.) The tool "About, To, and As If" is a great way to deal with emotions around any relationship. The tool can be used for close friends and family or with people you have never met before. It can be used for people you have a contentious relationship with and it can be used with people who you want a better life for. You can do the whole tool in three minutes. or use it for a full hour. | 8/10/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #67: Creating A Tapping Community Of Support w/ Stephen W. Carter | Let's be honest: Tapping/EFT looks weird when you do it, sounds weird when you explain it, and really is just plain weird. At least once a week as I explaining the work I do and how much I love tapping someone will start to look at me like I have three heads and slowly start creeping away. In any endeavor that we do it is important to have a community of support around us. In these communities we have the opportunity to learn from each other, support each other, and (most importantly) laugh with each other. In the Baltimore area (which is where I live) Steve Carter has done an amazing job in creating just this type of community. The community he has created is from everyone from full time practitioners to people who are just interested in finding way the live health and happier lives. It started very small and over the last few years has not only grown in numbers, but it has also in the quality of support the community provides. | 8/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #66: Fear As The Root Of Other Issues w/ Colleen Flanagan | From my point of view the opposite of love is not hate, but instead fear. Fear is a very powerful force. It is very primal and is going to over ride most other emotions an thoughts. In this interview I talk with Colleen Flanagan about the many different faces of fear and how it can be at the root of many other issues. We spend a great deal of time talking about 5 distinct types of fear that can be used as lens to understand many of our deeper issues. | 7/27/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #65: Tapping for Stress w/ Louise Woods | Stress is one of the biggest issues of monder life. I think it is talked about so much that some times we tune it out. We need to keep our eye on how stress affects us day to day. Tapping for stress is easy to do and is much like brushing your teeth. You need do a little bit everyday to make lasting change. In this interview I chat with Louise Woods about the impact of stress on the body and some simple things that you can do right now to improve your mood and your health. | 7/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #64: Thought Field Therapy w/ Joanne Callahan | As more time passes few and few people are aware of the roots of tapping as we know it. Emotional Freedom Techniques as presented by Gary Craig build upon the foundations of Thought Field Therapy. In this interview I chat with Joanne Callahan the co-developer of Thought Field Therapy with her husband Roger Callahan. Joanne has many great insights into not only how Thought Field Therapy came to be created and how we can add the tools and techniques of TFT to our daily tapping. We also spend time talking about one of Joanne's passions tapping for trauma (both big and small). | 7/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #63: Self Love With Brad Yates | Doing this interview was particularly special to me. My guest Brad Yates was the person who first introduced me to Tapping/EFT. In this spirited conversation we talk about the importance of self-love, the obstacles to loving ourself, and what we can do with tapping to improve our view of ourselves. I know we talk a lot about self love and self acceptance when it comes to tapping. It is right there in the set up phrase, "I love and accept myself." Even with that being the case it is still one of the issues for my clients (and to be honest for myself) that we struggle with most and it is the topic we are least likely to tap for. | 7/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #21: How Opening Just A Crack To Healing Can Make All The Difference with EFT/Tapping | So often we don't begin our healing work because we think the work is too big, it feels too overwhelming, or it just feels impossible. In this podcast we talk about how important it is to just open the door a small crack to the healing process and how that can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes it just takes a small change to create radically different outcomes. We also spend time doing a little tapping for the feeling of overwhelm that comes with knowing we have lot of healing we want and need to do. | 6/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #62: Being Honest With Ourselves, Being In The Moment, and Other Thoughts w/ Jondi Whitis | In this podcast my friend Jondi Whitis asks be a bunch of questions about this and that. In the conversations we cover: Being able to be honest about where we really are and why that is paramount to healing. Using where we are to build to where would like to be. How to stay in the moment (which leads to healthier choices). Noticing what is happening emotionally. Tapping is like a hypnotic inductions? What is the deal with resistance to healing and how can we deal with it. Why tapping doesn't work when I tap on my own. How I can move forward and still fill like I am moving backwards. What to do when I don't know what I want. What to do when a client doesn't know how to talk about their emotions. I do I continue to understand that I am enough. | 6/22/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Today she visits the cancer ward five days a week. She gets the chance to work with the children, the parents, and even the hospital staff. In this interview she talks about her experience, what she has learned, and her hopes for the future. Even if you don't know someone with cancer and you don't think you are ever going to be working in a hospital setting you need to listen to this interview. There are many specific lessons that you can learn that will help your daily tapping practice and how to introduce tapping to to others. | 6/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #60: Self Acceptance w/ Steve Wells | One of the biggest road blocks for beginning tappers is using the set up phrase "Even though...I love and accept myself." Sometimes we don't believe it. Sometimes it is painful to think of how we don't love and accept ourselves. Because of this we won't spend time tapping. In this interview I chat with Steve Well about the idea of self acceptance. During this conversation I quickly came to realize that Steve and I see acceptance and resistance in the same way. We talk about Steve's own (continuing) journey to self acceptance, how with a simple 30 day process he made major steps forward, and how moving to self acceptance heals many other issues in our lives. | 6/4/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #59: Fear of Public Speaking w/ Janet Hilts | "According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy." Jerry Seinfeld Fear of public speaking can effect not only large moments when we speak in front of a group of people, but also in the small moments like asking for help at a store. This is how I originally found my way to tapping. I could speak in front of 8,000 people but couldn't ask for help in a store. In this interview I talk with Janet Hilts on how we can use Tapping/EFT for many different aspects of public speaking. We discuss how sometimes the issue isn't the speaking itself but aspects that touch speaking. We talk about a very simple approach that you use to start tapping for your public speaking fears right away. | 4/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

In this interview we take the next step and chat about how we can use tapping to improve our sexual relationship to truly reflect the emotional intimacy we share with our partners. It can put a real strain on a relationship when we don't feel connected to our partner and often time we don't know how to talk about it or even where to start. In this interview Gina shares a number of very practical tip for use tapping to rekindle the passion and fire in your relationship. | 4/9/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #20: The Round-Up | Back in the fall I asked 10 practitioners that I admire and respect to answer 5 questions about the healing process, the healing journey, and their work with clients. The questions I asked them were: * What lessons have you learned about healing from a client? * What is something you have changed your mind about when it comes to healing, working with clients, or your own transformation process? * If you were to start your own healing journey over again what would you do differently? * What is one thing you wish your clients believed about themselves? * What is one thing you wish your clients believed about healing process?

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.

Pod #52: Self-Compassion w/ Rod Sherwin | 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. | 2/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #49: Being Full Present In The Moment w/ Ted Robinson | One of the biggest challenges of the modern world is being fully present in this moment.

Pod #47: Adding Creative Imagination To Tapping w/ Betty Moore-Hafter | One of the things I love about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is how flexible the tool set it.

This is easy stuff that anyone can do. | 11/20/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #46: EFT Inner RePatterning w/ Tania A. Prince | 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.

Why Tapping/EFT Q and A Was Created | One year ago I was working in Vancouver Canada when I received an e-mail from a reader that made it very clear that I needed to make sure that my readers and listeners know why I do this site. Because there are always new people coming to the site and the site is always growing I decided every six months it would be good to touch base and let you know what is here, why it is here, and what is coming. | 11/7/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #15: Setting Up Working On Goals | I was recently working with a client on using Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping to help him to go after some major goals in his life. There wasn't a particular issue that needed to be addressed, but instead he was looking for a way to set himself up to go after his goals. We did just a few minutes of tapping. When we were done he felt at peace and was ready to go after his goals for the day (and his long goals). Right as we finished the tapping he said, "You need to share this as one of your bonus podcasts," so here it is. This is less than 7 minutes long, but it is good stuff. I hope it helps you to get after your goals today as well. | 11/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #45: Three Step Approach To Surrogate Tapping w/ Gwyneth Moss | One of the questions I get the most often into the site is about surrogate tapping. In this interview Gweneth explains how she came to understand the power of surrogate tapping and a very elegant three step approach that anyone can do any time.

Pod #44: Interviewing, Being Interviewed and Lessons Learned w/ Jessica Ortner | Over the past few years I have been lucky to get to know Jessica Ortner through a number of different projects. She has just a wonderful spirit and joy. I asked her if she would be willing to be interviewed for the podcast and she was a little bit hesitant. She is very good at doing interviews, but being interviewed isn't something she is use to. Over the course of the conversation we talk about how to do a do interview and how to do a good job when being interviewed. We also spend a good deal of time talking about some of the lessons she has learned from all the great people she has gotten the chance to interview. That was my favorite part of the interview because she shares some great wisdom. | 10/11/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #43: Getting Out Of Your Own Way | Most of the time the problem isn't knowing what we want (thought sometime getting a clear picture of what we want is hard).

In this podcast I share with you a very simple 10-step process that will help to uncover the fears and limiting beliefs that are preventing you from having what you want in your life.

Pod #41: Power of Forgiveness | One of the most powerful tools in transformation is our ability to forgive ourselves and others. When we forgive we are not saying it is ok. We are not saying we want to have the same thing happen again. What we are saying is that we are choosing to no longer be emotionally entangled in the past. Forgiveness is one of the steps of moving from reliving to remembering. In this show we will explore the power of forgiveness and how we can us tapping to make forgiveness of others and ourselves an important part of our transformation. | 8/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #38: EFT/Tapping, Religious Traditions, and Spiritual Practice | One of the conversation I have most often around Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping is how do it relate to religious traditions and spiritual practice. The questions range from is it okay to tap based on my religion/belief system to can tapping help my spiritual practice. I was interviewed by TapFest host Jondi Whitis and Co-Host Lillian Fimbres on EFT Radio. Here is our complete conversation. | 6/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #11: How To End A Tapping Session | I think the way we end a tapping session is just as important as the way we begin it. For me the end of the session is more than a signing off process, but it is the next step in healing. When we tap it is not a healing moment, but instead part of a healing process that is going to continue through out the day and through out our life. I like to spend time at the end of a session (especially an emotional one) setting up the system to continue the work thought the day. The end of my sessions often looks like this: | 6/10/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #37: Tapping for Trauma w/ Gwyneth Moss | One of the words that we throw around when talking about difficult times is the word trauma. In this interview I talk with EFT Master Gwyneth Moss about the true nature of trauma. She very succinctly examples how we experience trauma and how to deal with it. Trauma is not about something that happens, but the after effects. When we understand the true nature of trauma we are much more likely to be able to heal. This is one of those interviews that is worth listening to a number of times. | 6/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #10: Reconnecting With Our Physical Bodies | While on retreat a few years ago Russ Hudson said, "We must be in touch with the mind, body, and spirit in order to be candidates for transformation." Because of the nature of the modern world we have lost touch with our physical bodies. Most of us are not working the land, in tune with the seasons, or using our bodies for work. Just watch someone who is on-line. It looks as if they have left their bodies. It is very easy (and healthy) to reconnect with our physical bodies. Here is a great FREE tap along to find yourself reconnected with your body. Take a few moments at the beginning or ending of each day to tap along to this. | 6/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #35: Improving Performance or Learning with Tapping w/ Jared Tendler | 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. | 5/21/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Why Tapping Q and A Exists | I have been amazing and touched by the growth of Tapping/EFT Q and A. It all started with a free blog, an e-mail to a hundred people, and a hope to make Tapping/EFT a little easier to understand. Now there are weeks where I spend as much as 20 hour a week just on content for the site and I have made connections with amazing people all over the world. Because of all the new people we are reading the newsletter and visiting the site I figured it was time to do my every six months (re)introduce of the current mission and purpose of Tapping/EFT Q and A. Also always, if you have any questions about this (or anything else) please let me know. | 5/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

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. | 5/5/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #30: Keys For Marketing Mastery w/ Pamela Bruner | 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.

Pod #29: Turning Your Issues Into Allies In 9 Easy Steps | 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.

Pod #28: It’s Not Surrogate But It Helps Others To Make Different Choices | 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. | 2/26/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #24: Fear, Anxiety, Safety, and Freedom w/ Rick Wilkes | 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. | 1/9/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #23: Getting To The Root Of A Current Issue w/ Tania A Prince | 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. | 12/31/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #8: Gratitude v. Poverty | I spend a great deal of time talking to my clients and writing on this site about the importance of having a disposition of gratitude. In this podcast I share a bit of the science of what is going on when we feel both gratitude and poverty. [Note: in this discussion poverty is any feeling of lack, not just not having enough money.] When we understand what is going on in the body when we feel these emotions and how these emotions effect our choices it becomes much easier to see the places we can apply tapping for healing. | 12/30/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #4: When The Body Is The “Enemy” and Weight Release Is A “Battle” | Often times we treat our body as the enemy and working our way back to being healthy as a battle. We feel betrayed, hopeless, and frustrated by our body. When we do this we are turning on our self. As hard as it is to believe, our body us in this state because the system believes this is the best state we can be in. It either believes we can get no healthier or it believes by being in our current state it is going to keep us safe. Once we recognize that we are our body and that our body is trying to function in a way that is best it then becomes possible to work with our bodies to move down the paths to greater health and well being. | 10/7/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Bonus Pod #3: When We Carry Burdens For Others | It is difficult for us to see the people we love suffer. Often we don't consider the consequences when we rush in to help. Our need to bring peace and comfort can over riders all other thoughts and consideration. This is not always the healthiest choice for our self in the short and/or long term. Sometimes when we choose to help we do so by taking on the burden of our loved ones. Many times we can carry these burdens for years. Often we don't even realize this is case or we have taken on these burdens when we were very very young, having no memory of choose to takes these burdens on. When the burdens of others have been a part of our lives for so long they feel like they are a part of us and we don't realize they are something that can be released. | 9/25/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #16: Tapping and the Brain w/ Robert Kendall | In this episode we discuss how tapping affects the brain and the biochemistry of the body. It is one thing to know that it is possible for us to tap and find relief, but it something complete different to understand what is going on inside the body. When we understand what is going on in the brain and in the biochemistry of the body (and how this effects the way new cells are produced) it allows us to do two things. First, it can help us to tailor our tapping in such a fashion that we can get the most out of the tapping session because we can do it in a more effective way. Second, it helps us to understand the way the body changes so we can more clearly track our progress and maintain realistic expectations of how the healing process is going to unfold. | 9/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #13: Solution Focused Brief Therapy w/ Rod Sherwin | One of the most common questions I get about tapping (EvEFT/EFT) is "What do I do when I don't know what memories from the past are effecting my behavior or emotions today?" In this interview I talk to Rob Sherwin about a very cool protocol call Solution Focused Brief Therapy. In this protocol you don't have to worry about why you are the way you are, but instead it focuses on how to move to what you want. Personally, I find this to be a great approach because even when I don't know why things are the way they are I am going to know where I want to be or who I want to be. In this interview Rod lays out the basic steps of SFBT that can easily be added to any tapping routine. | 6/25/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Pod #9: Turn your issues into your allies | Every issue we have exists because it is functional on some level (example: fears are trying to protect us). The problem is these tend to create problems in our daily lives, due to misinformation or protection from something beneficial (example: irrational fear of water). This can slow the healing process because we are “at war” with ourselves. The healing process can be transformed when we first approach these issues with gratitude for their functional uses. By doing this we can work with these beliefs instead of fighting them, as we work to health and well being. | 5/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Great EFT Info
Gene, in addition to having a supportive and caring nature, always has up-to-date EFT topics and hints. He frequently has other EFT experts on his podcast who bring their expertise to his show as well. It is obvious that his passion and mission in life is to help people enhance their lives with EFT and other energy modalities. In my opinion, Gene has the best EFT podcast on iTunes.
Get Ready to Be Uplifted
I'm fairly new to EFT, but I can attest it works. In fact, it worked so well after one round of tapping, that I started reading and listening to every source I could find on the subject. Gene Monterastelli is as clear and insightful and encouraging as it gets: so generous with his information--can't believe how much good free stuff there is on his website--and such a good interviewer. I appreciate the way he cuts to the heart of issues and offers regular reminders to keep it simple. It's so easy to think this work has to be complicated and that there's a perfect script or technique to follow. These are not slick studio podcasts with just enough info to get you to buy a product--they are truly valuable gifts in themselves. Thank you, Gene.
Gene Monterastelli Podcasts and More
Gene Monterastelli's podcasts are awesome. I can't believe they're free; there's so much real, non-nonsense and useful information in every one.
And if you can't "find yourself" in one or more of the subjects he covered, you might try the "Denial" section! : )
Bonus: his style is always warm, welcoming and encouraging. Check out his newsletters and archives, too at the EFTQandA.com site.
