  • Why I tap in is such an "odd" way (Pod #729)

    Why I tap in is such an "odd" way (Pod #729)
    2026/10/09
    One of my favorite parts about tapping is how flexible it is. It is flexible in terms of the issues you tap on, how long you tap, how deep you go, and what you say. What most people don't realize is that it is also flexible when it comes to how you tap on the points, which points you tap on, and in what order you tap on them. This week on the podcast, I share lots of different ways you can tap and how you can get deeper results when you play around with them. Support the podcast!

Those were the first words the person sitting next to me in a coffee shop said to me on Saturday, and she said it with a questioning tone and almost disgust. Today I want to share exactly what I was doing while tapping in that coffee shop, why I do it that way, and why I think it is so effective. One of the things I have become is comfortable tapping in public. Part of that is because I live in New York City, and if I happen to be standing on a street corner doing a little bit of tapping, I'm like the eighth weirdest thing on that street corner, so nobody notices. For the most part, people here let people live and let live. Most of the people I encounter aren't ever going to see me again, and I am tapping to make myself feel better in the moment, so I really don't care that much. When I'm doing work and my computer is processing something, like compressing audio or creating an output, I'm just waiting, so I will start tapping. That's exactly what happened. Every Saturday and Sunday morning that I'm in town, I go to a coffee shop right around the corner, Devoción. I sit in the corner with a beautiful cup of coffee below a giant wall of plants and a giant skylight, and I do some work. On this particular morning my computer was processing something, and I was waiting on a download. They don't have internet on the weekend, so I was using my phone as a hotspot, which takes longer than I like. So I just started tapping, jumping from tapping point to tapping point without saying anything. That is when I got the accusation: why are you tapping like that? My first response was actually excitement. She wasn't asking why I was tapping or what that thing was that I was doing. She knew what tapping was, and she knew enough about it to question my style. As someone who has spent almost the last two decades trying to share tapping with as many people as possible, that was a good thing. The reason she questioned it is that I was hopping from point to point in what appeared to be a random fashion. When you have been taught to do something one way and someone else does it differently, it makes you ask questions. Maybe not as directly as my New York friends, but it does. Most of us were taught to start at the eyebrow and go from point to point, or to start at the tippy top of the head, or on the side of the hand. After going through the body, we might hit the liver spots or the fingers, but it all looks super organized. The reason I don't follow that pattern is that it looks organized, but it's actually a random pattern. Every tapping point is associated with a different meridian. We go eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, because that is the next closest point. I've actually tried it, and it feels more natural to work top down. Tapping on the collarbone, then chin, then under the nose, then under the eye feels like work with each tap, whereas coming down the body just keeps lowering and lowering, and that is easier than working back up to the top. So it makes sense that we tap that way. Why do we do that? The predecessor to EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, as most of us know it, was something called Thought Field Therapy, created by Roger Callahan. In Thought Field Therapy, you tapped in a particular order for a particular issue. There might be one sequence where you go collarbone, eyebrow, under the eye, side of the hand, and another where you go index finger, under the eye, tippy top of the head, under the nose. There are a number of prescribed sequences for certain issues, and when you're working with a client, you can muscle test your way to something more useful. Many of Callahan's early students loved Thought Field Therapy and thought tapping was great, but they also recognized it was really complicated. They wondered whether they could find a single algorithm, which is what Callahan called tapping in a given order. Maybe it wouldn't be as powerful as Thought Field Therapy, but it would be much easier to teach. If you've ever tried to explain tapping to someone, you're already getting them over the hurdle of this weird thing where we tap on our bodies. Now you also need to explain that when it's anger, you tap in this order, and when it's sadness, you tap in that order. That is a really difficult thing to share with ...

  • The 4-steps to find hidden resistance and limiting beliefs (Pod #728)

    The 4-steps to find hidden resistance and limiting beliefs (Pod #728)
    2026/10/01
    Tapping for limiting beliefs and resistance is a very straightforward process. All you need to do is name the limiting belief, why the limiting belief thinks it is being helpful, and then share the truth about what is really happening. When you combine this with tapping it rewrites your subconscious. The problem is not clearing the limiting belief. Instead the problem is knowing what the limiting beliefs are because the subconscious mind doesn't think about them as limiting beliefs. Instead, the subconscious simply sees the limiting belief as how the world works. If clearing the limiting belief is the easy part, then finding the limiting beliefs is the hardest part. This week in the podcast I am going to share with you the tool I use every day to find limiting beliefs. I use this every time I tap and I use this in every tapping session I do with clients. This is the most useful framework I have ever created and I know you are going to love it! Support the podcast! Http://tappingqanda.com/support Subscribe in: Apple Podcast | iPhone | Spotify | Pandora | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio Finding Your Limiting Beliefs with the SAWD Framework Clearing limiting beliefs with tapping is really easy. Basically, all you're doing is naming the limiting belief, naming why it's not true, and naming what is true instead while you're tapping. I went into a lot of detail on that in episode 726. That's not the problem. The problem is naming the limiting belief. So today, I'm going to share the exact process I use every single time I tap to find the limiting beliefs, so it becomes really easy for me to tap on them. This is Gene Monterastelli, and welcome to the Tapping Q&A Podcast, recorded live to tape from Williamsburg in Brooklyn. This is episode 728, originally aired October 1st, 2026. Hi, everyone. I hope this finds you well, wherever you are and whatever time of day you're getting a chance to listen. Thanks for spending a little time with me today. Why Limiting Beliefs Are So Hard to Spot As I'm recording this, we are on the precipice of this year's Integrated Tapping Summit, where I bring together some of my favorite tappers and we answer questions about a specific topic. We knit those answers together, so you're not just hearing from one expert, you're hearing from lots of them. If you're not signed up, you can join us absolutely free at integratedtappingsummit.com. I love the conversations I have because I get to put lots of people's ideas side by side, and I'm always fascinated by the questions that require the most attention. Because the summit is edited, my guests get to sit and let a question wash over them before they answer, and they receive the questions ahead of time so they can think about them. Last year, the question that caught people the most was about limiting beliefs: how do I know I am carrying a limiting belief? This question matters because the subconscious mind doesn't think it's a limiting belief. The subconscious mind just thinks it is true. When it's operating from that belief, it's not saying, "This is a limiting belief that's holding me back." It's just saying, "This is how we stay safe." And since the subconscious mind thinks it's true, it becomes much harder for us to unpack. Giving Away the Transformation Last week I was at a small business marketing conference, and one of the presenters, Brian Mark, a personal trainer, was talking about his approach to social media. He said something fascinating. In the free content you create, in your videos, your social media, and your podcasts, give your audience enough information that they could reach complete transformation without ever hiring you. That's something I've always tried to do. We've been going at this for 17 years, and nothing has been held back. But today I'm going to do exactly that as we look at how to uncover limiting beliefs. I'm going to share a simple framework that I use every single day in my tapping, and it has transformed my results, both when I'm tapping on my own and when I'm working with my clients. If you are new to tapping and have no idea what I'm talking about, tapping is a tool we can use to transform the limiting beliefs and stories we're carrying in our subconscious mind that no longer serve us. If you know what the limiting belief is, tapping on it is easy as long as you know how to tap. I've put together a free guide that teaches you all the basics at learntotap.com. You can take the framework I'm teaching today, combine it with that basic information, and start to heal and transform your subconscious mind. What a Limiting Belief Actually Is Before we jump in, it's important to talk more deeply about what a limiting belief is. It's just a story we're carrying. All of the stories in our subconscious mind are the rules about the way the world works. They guide us moment to moment so that we're not having to think in every single moment, because thinking takes so much energy. It's the reason you can walk...

  • 3 words that make clearing limiting beliefs easier (Pod #727)

    3 words that make clearing limiting beliefs easier (Pod #727)
    2026/09/28
    One of the most frustrating moments in tapping is when you know a belief is holding you back, you tap on it again and again, and it simply won't budge. That's because your subconscious mind doesn't see a limiting belief as limiting. It sees it as the truth about the world and the very thing that keeps you safe. Some of those beliefs are genuinely useful. My belief that tigers are not kind and cuddly keeps me on the right side of the fence at the zoo. The trouble comes when a belief is disproportionate and misinformed. Last week, in episode 726 of the podcast, I shared the four-part formula I use in almost every round of tapping. At its heart, that formula is a negotiation with the subconscious mind. Even in the middle of that negotiation, though, the subconscious can dig in its heels, because it doesn't trust what you'll do once the resistance comes down. Over time I have found three words that change that conversation. When I bring them into a round of tapping, I can feel my system decompress almost immediately. This week in the podcast, I share those three words, why they speak the language of the subconscious mind, and a short round of tapping you can follow along with so you can feel the difference for yourself. Once you hear them, you'll want to use them in almost every round of tapping you do. Support the podcast! Http://tappingqanda.com/support Subscribe in: Apple Podcast | iPhone | Spotify | Pandora | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio | YouTube Transcript: Are you tired of fighting your subconscious mind when you're trying to clear a limiting belief with tapping? Today, I'm going to share with you the three words that make clearing limiting beliefs so much easier and that should be used in almost every round of tapping. When we're tapping to create transformation and healing, and we're trying to clear a limiting belief, our subconscious mind doesn't want us to clear that limiting belief. That's because the subconscious mind doesn't see it as a limiting belief. Instead, the subconscious mind sees it as how we stay safe. So if the limiting belief is "I can't be successful at this," what's really happening is the subconscious mind is saying, "If we try this, we're probably going to fail, which is going to be painful, which is going to be embarrassing, which is going to cause all sorts of issues. So what I'm going to do is make success so scary that you don't take action." So it's a tool. It's trying to keep us safe. And it's great that we have limiting beliefs that keep us safe. I have a limiting belief about whether or not tigers are kind and cuddly, so that when I'm at the zoo, I don't climb over the cage and try to cuddle one. It's trying to keep me safe. When I'm driving and all of a sudden it starts raining and gets dark, I immediately start slowing down. That limiting belief is a form of resistance that acts as a governor to keep me safe. So limiting beliefs are not the problem. The problem is when we have a limiting belief that is disproportionate and misinformed. That's why tapping on and transforming limiting beliefs is so difficult. Our subconscious mind does not want to let go of this thing, because to it, it's not a belief. It's the truth about the world. And so it becomes really difficult for us to tap on that particular issue. Last week on the podcast, in episode 726 (link in the show notes), we talked about the four-part structure I use whenever I sit down to tap. That structure exists so that as I'm working through an issue, I'm getting my subconscious mind on board. If you think back to that process, we're acknowledging what's going on, we're naming what the subconscious is doing and what its motivation is, and then we're explaining to the subconscious mind why the way it's acting is actually getting in the way. We're having a negotiation with the subconscious mind. Now remember, since the subconscious mind doesn't think it's a limiting belief but a truth about the world, even when we're in a place of negotiation, it's going to be hard for us to let a limiting belief go. I'm negotiating with the subconscious mind and its efforts to keep me safe, and I'm saying I want to act in a new way, but the subconscious mind does not trust me. So I found three words that are super powerful to introduce in that moment in my tapping, which allow my subconscious mind to get on board with that change. Those words are thoughtless, reckless, and careless. That's what the subconscious mind thinks is going to happen. It thinks if we take this obstacle down, if we take this resistance down, I'm going to go crazy. If I go from being afraid that I'm going to be judged to not being afraid that I'm going to be judged, I'm going to go out there and do 87 million things. I'm going to try all of the things, and I'm going to do lots of stupid things. My subconscious mind does not trust me, and that's the reason the resistance is in place. So when I'm going to change a subconscious belief, I use those ...
