Advanced Tapping Techniques Audio Training

September 7, 2011 by Gene

Tired Of Superficial Results, Being Unsure Of Core Issues, And Healing That Just Doesn’t Last? It’s Time To Take Your Tapping Your EFT/Tapping To The Next Level

I was recently asked by an aspiring practitioner “How do I get better at tapping with my clients?” I explained:

Tapping can be taught in just a few minutes. (I know I have done it in under five on the back of a bar napkin.)

The real skill when it comes to working with clients (as well as doing our own work) is not so much how to tap, but instead how to help our clients tune into the issues at hand to tap on, with, and for. That is the real skill.

And…(this is the hard part)…it is much more of an art than a science.

Adding Tapping Tools
The most important question to ask when tapping is, “How is it working for you?” Even if we don’t do this in a conscious way we are doing this all the time.

We might read an article or find a new set up phrase and give it a try. If it works we do it again. If it doesn’t we try something else. The things that work the most we keep doing.

Without even knowing it we add another tool to our tool box and the more of these tools and approaches we can add to our toolbox the more effective we are as practitioners.

But it doesn’t have to happen in a trial and error sort of way. You can add tools right now!

Sharing My Tool Set
Over the last 7 years I have been slowly building my own tool set. I have consumed books, DVDs, and attended live trainings. I subscribe to over 50 newsletters and I spend 3 to 5 hours a week just working on improving my own skills.

I have studied NLP, hypnosis, age regression, parts work, neurological function, and guided imagery. I have spent hours with psychologists, doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and psychiatrists picking their brains about what they have learned in their work.

I have spent hundreds of hours and well over $15,000 on building my tool set.

And I want to share that tool set with you.

The Best of the Best
I want to share the best of the best from what I have learned. To that end I have created Advanced Tapping Techniques Training. (I really wanted to call it “Kick-*** Tapping Techniques” but I was worried I might offend.)

I have taken my favorite tools, broken them down into simple steps, and presented them in such a way that you can start them today!

What is taught?
I like presenting things in easy to use chunks so that you can take what you learn and start using it right away. The class is organized into 8 lessons.

  • Lesson 1: 13 Foundations to Healing With Tapping That Every Practitioner Should Master
  • Lesson 2: 18 Lessons From 10 Masters Of Healing
  • Lesson 3: Hypnotic Patter And Language
  • Lesson 4: Guided Imagery
  • Lesson 5: Parts Work
  • Lesson 6: Age Regression
  • Lesson 7: Time Lines, Forgiveness Work, and Score Boards Oh My!
  • Lesson 8: Meta Models

(For a full description of each lesson please see the end of this note)

Each of these lessons is designed to stand alone. You can start with any topic you want. I love this training because you don’t have to complete it all to improve what you doing. Each step of the way you will be able to do new things with your tapping.

The moment you hit stop on any of the audios you are going to be ready to try the techniques.

You Don’t Have To Take My Word For It
Here is what some of the students who were present for the recording of this class had to say:

 Gene is a consummate teacher, and his classes are packed with useful, timely information that can immediately be put into use. It’s rare to find a teacher whose intellect is matched equally by a generous spirit. I’d recommend this class to anyone who wants to surge forward in either their own work or their practice 

JW NYC

 I think what I most appreciated is how Gene seems to have incorporated the study of hypnosis, NLP, and EFT. He demonstrated how each type of change work complements the other and how they can, together, make the process stronger. 

Jack Bowers

 As a professional in the therapy field I am thrilled at the ease with which Gene presents complex material and clarifies with such ease what could be intimidating. He has one of those voices that resounds with enthusiasm, gentleness, and wisdom. He knows his stuff! He knows how to share it! 

Helen Kauffman MSW

 Gene has an understanding of human nature and behavior that most people don’t achieve in their lifetime.  He’s wonderful about sharing and explaining.  He brings a refreshing outlook to teaching techniques.  As a practitioner I learned new ways of looking at EFT that I will incorporate into my practice immediately.  So, my advice to you is that even if you feel you know this stuff, take advantage and learn from Gene whenever you get the opportunity.  You owe it to yourself. 

Wendy Merron WendyMerron.com

 Gene is incredibly gifted in his ability to integrate and present a tremendous amount of knowledge in way that is easy to understand and learn. I am very particular about what I invest my time and money in as both of them have great value I can honestly say that Gene met and exceeded all of my expectations for the training. I have directed family and friends to his podcasts and website and will now recommend his trainings. If you are considering signing up for one of his courses do not hesitate, they are well worth the investment 

Tami Koepp, MSW, LGSW Sharpsburg, MD

But That’s Not All
In addition to the training audios I have these 6 bonuses to sweeten the deal:

Transcripts of All Classes

Not everyone learns in the exact same way and sometimes it is easier to read through a note to find that one point you were looking for instead of searching through an audio file. This is over 150 pages of content!

Two Bonus Lessons(plus transcripts)

Since doing this event I have added two more advanced tools. The lesson on “Making sure you are solving the right problem” has revolutionized the way I do work.

Audios of Four Sessions

Want to hear exactly how I use these tools with my clients? You will receive four audio sessions of me working with real clients. There are two audios for each session. Audio one is an uninterrupted version of the session so you can get the flow. Audio two is interrupted from time to time with me explaining what I was thinking and why I did what I did each step of the way.

PowerPoint From All Presentations

All 8 lessons were originally taught live with PowerPoint. You will receive copies of all PowerPoint slides so you can follow along.

Marketing Mumbo Jumbo
This is the part in the note where I am supposed to tell you how much all the bonuses are worth so you see the value in what you are getting. You are getting all the PowerPoint slides, all the transcripts, 4 hours of Q and A, four client sessions where you see these tools in action, and two bonus hours of training. (And that doesn’t even include the discount on the one-on-one coaching.)

I know these bonus materials are worth as much (if not more) than the price of the training program itself. I could tell you exactly what I would charge for each of these pieces. You might believe me, or you might think it is some marketing trick.

I know this for certain: this is A LOT of added value and it will transform the way you tap with yourself and the way you tap with clients.

$300 Off
The full price of this package is going to be $797. I think it is worth that and much more, but I am currently going to give you $300 off that price.

That is a 38% saving.

I know this is going to take your tapping to the next level, but if for some reason it doesn’t work for you let me know. I don’t want you to spend your money in a way that isn’t useful. Just drop me a note in the first 30 days and I will refund all your money. No questions asked.

I know this is going to transform the way you tap. You owe it to yourself to grown your tool set. Do it now!

PS: Imagine what it is going to be like to get longer lasting results faster.

Full Descriptions Of Audio/Video Content

Lesson 1 (pre-class audios/videos): 12 Foundations To Healing With Tapping That Every Practitioner Should Master

In over two hours of audio and videos we will cover:

  • Tapping: Not the basic recipe as a formula, but comprehensive way of seeing tapping protocols
  • Everything We Experience Is Internal. Everything We Experience Is Interpretation.
  • The Three Minds
  • Models of Information
  • The Client As An Eye Witness To Their Own Life (Conference Room Of The Mind)
  • Everything Exists To Serve Us AKA: The Power Of Thanksgiving
  • Resistance To Change
  • Pain Vs. Suffering
  • Stages Of Awareness
  • Inspired Action Vs. Inspired Outcome
  • Desire Without Emotional Attachment

These foundations are presented as pre-class recordings because I want to give you the opportunity to listen and watch these audios/videos a number of times to make sure we are all on the same page vocabulary wise. This will insure that we are going to be able to dive into the advanced concepts right away. We will spend time answering questions about this material at the beginning of the course.

Lesson 2: 18 Lessons From 10 Masters Of Healing

There is much to be learned from great teachers and great masters in many different healing fields. We can learn from their teachings, how they learned themselves, and how they worked with clients. In this section we will look at 18 different lessons from giants in the healing fields that have transformed the way I work. If you master even a handful of these lessons, it will immediately transform your work.

Lesson 3: Hypnotic Patter and Language

The lessons I have learned from hypnosis have affected not only the way I talk to and communicate with my clients, but every interaction that I have during the day. There are two main skills we can learn from hypnosis: building rapport and navigation/guidance.

RAPPORT

NAVIGATION/GUIDANCE

Lesson 4: Guided Imagery

Most of the emotional work we do with clients is done in the subconscious mind. (Note: A comprehensive video lesson on the unconscious, subconscious, and conscious minds is part of the pre-class work.) We don’t have direct access to change the subconscious mind (and this is a good thing). Using guided imagery is a gentle and powerful way to create transformation at the subconscious level. In this lesson you will learn the seven steps I use in guided imagery that allows the client’s subconscious to lead us to the root of the issue plus the concept of “fairytale physics” which will unlock your client’s creativity.

Lesson 5: Parts Work

There is no tool that I use more than parts work. Over 90% of the sessions I do use some form of parts work. When we help a client approach their issues through the lens of a part we are able to help them to focus in on a small part of something that is much too big to deal with at once AND we are able to discover the solutions to the problem that the system already has. This is the most power tool I have in my tool kit. In this lesson you will learn the many different types of parts work (including parts mediation) that can be done, how gently to get the client to find their way to root causes, and how to empower clients to use these tools and resources after the session so that their healing can continue.

Lesson 6: Age Regression

Age regression is a very specific type of parts work, so I devote a complete lesson to this approach. In age regression we are working with the younger version of the client. (Anytime we are thinking of a past memory it is a version of age regression). In this lesson we will not only look at what age regression is, but we will look at how we can easily bridge back into the past to find the root of an issue, determine if we have worked back to the earliest memory, and how to heal/transform once we are in contact with these earlier parts.

Lesson 7: Time Lines, Forgiveness Work, and Score Boards Oh My!

In this lesson I am going to cover three of my favorite tools in my tapping arsenal. I never plan to use these tools, but there are times when working with clients that it will become obvious that one of these three tools will help a client much quicker than just tapping on the thought or emotion they are feeling. These tools are simple to use, each with a uncomplicated step-by-step formula.

Lesson 8: Meta Models

It is amazing how inaccurate our language is when we are describing what is going on in our lives. “Everyone at works hates me!” “I am never going to get ahead!” “I can’t do it!” There might be a kernel of truth in these statements, but they are not true. The problem comes when we approach the world as if they are true. Meta Models is a set of tools that helps us to recognize the logical fallacies in our thoughts and words that are affecting our actions and choices. In this part we will explore the 10 most common meta models, ways of helping our clients to see the flaws, and ways to help clients transform these beliefs. In the practical part of this lesson participants will get the chance to work through real client case histories to practice identifying and reframing these meta models.

Session(s) w/ Gene

November 30, 2010 by Gene

Tapping/EFT is a wonderful tool for bringing health and well-being into our lives. Sometimes are issues are just too big or we are just too close to them to be able to make the progress we need to make the progress we want.

Working one-on-one with Gene will help you to quickly move past the blocks you are facing. In addition to getting a chance to work with Gene you will also receive an audio recording of your phone session so you can go back and tap along with the session again and again.

Here is what others are saying about working with Gene:

“I was amazed at how easy Gene was to work with, and just how much he really listened to what I was wanting to achieve. Gene intuitively knew the questions that I needed to be asked and I had cleared out an issue that has been bothering me for some time- in no time at all! I woke up the next day feeling amazing- and felt the path forward for me was very clear. Gene really ‘gets’ what the people he works with are about- a skill that really can’t be taught. I would highly recommend working with Gene, and his gentle, funny and caring ability to travel the journey with you for a brief period of time and help you to help yourself onto the right track for where you want to be!

Thank you Gene, I can’t wait to work with you again!” Anna, Melbourne, Australia.

“Working with Gene gave me the courage and support to look at some really big fears that I could not face looking at on my own. He helped me to get them into a more realistic perspective and contact the courage and confidence to do what I need to do. Now that I feel myself to be an active participant rather than passive recipient in the circumstances of my life, my bad headaches are showing signs of significant improvement.” AR

“Having worked with Gene on and off for several years now, I can speak with confidence about his ability to guide me through a wide variety of issues and I continue to grow and learn from him, both personally and professionally. Gene offers knowledge, respect, understanding, and the perfect touch of humor. Gene’s website is like a treasure chest of resources! Now that I know him a little better, I can see that they are just a sneak peek into his valuable background and abilities.” Sue, California

I am so grateful to have had a phone session with Gene yesterday. He helped me with a parenting issue I have had for a long time. I am a single mum with two young children(one has ASD) and I have had problems controlling my anger and remaining calm. He was so intuitive, and I really felt that I was in good hands. I felt noticeably “lighter” during and after our session, and today I reacted calmly in situations that would normally upset and stress me. I’m looking at my children differently – I feel that I am different. Even my sister mentioned that she was impressed at how I was handling the children today. I have been using EFT on my own for a couple of years with varying and often frustrating results. I feel like I learned so much from this session with Gene – it has been invaluable. HM, Australia

“I’ve done a lot of tapping on my own for the past 5 years, sometimes with really good results, sometimes unable to get to what’s really going on thus no real change. I wanted to work with a practitioner and see how it might help muddling around but not really getting to the heart of issues. Working with Gene was really a great experience! I have a lot of trust issues, but very quickly felt safe. He is kind and caring, focused, and was incredibly skillful in helping me sort and QUICKLY move through a current emotional issue and come out the other side seeing and feeling it quite differently. And since that session I’m amazed at how much more truly open and less reactive I’ve been in a lot of personal interactions, handling what would have previously felt like conflict with so much more ease and grace and understanding.

And i loved having the recording of the session available to listen to and do even more work with … it’s allowed even more insights and shifts in other areas of my life.

Can’t wait to work with him again … I can’t imagine a better guide to help me safely navigate some murky waters, clean out the muck, and move into into a place of expanded, exciting possibilities in my life journey!” Lauri R

” If I were to be offered a gift – of my choice – I’d choose a phone EFT session with Gene Monterastelli . For many years I’ve used EFT on a very regular basis & have done EFT work with other professionals, both in person & over the phone. None of the work has come anywhere close to achieving the wonderful results I’ve had in my 2 sessions with Gene. For me, emotional ‘safety’ is very important, and I feel completely safe working with Gene. I feel totally safe bringing up anything at all during the work. I find him kind, gentle, caring, upbeat & sincere. I was surprised at how much was accomplished during each session, and he also suggested some really good self-help methods for me to use on my own.

As one example of the deep & lasting healing that I’ve experienced, I’d like to relate my aversion-to-drinking-water issue. For decades, I have hated drinking water. This has been a concern for me because I believe water to be very good for our health. Even the thought of drinking water was unpleasant & I had to force myself to drink any at all. Gene’s creativity & intuition came into play in our EFT work on this, and at the end of just 10 minutes, I was able to drink water quite comfortably. Not only that, but it’s been a few weeks & I am still comfortable drinking water, even a whole mug at a time!

I hope more & more people hear about Gene’s work, so that more people can enjoy the great benefits of doing EFT work with him.” Kathryn Lloyd, Ontario, Canada

“I have recently started studying and practicing EFT, but I feel like my first session with Gene took tapping to a whole new level. I gained insights into a very deep pattern that I have been struggling with for quite some time. I am grateful for having the opportunity to work with Gene and appreciate his kindness, warmth and humor.” Kristen, CA

“I’ve been a big fan of Gene’s since finding his Tapping Q & A website some time ago (a veritable gold mine of help and information), so having the opportunity to work with him one on one was a real treat!! He’s down to earth, cuts to the chase, and all with an easy going and down to earth manner – and of course a wonderful sense of humor (love it!).

I’ve been tapping for well over a year now and have even had a couple of sessions (one each) with 2 other practitioners. While the sessions were good enough, I just didn’t see much in the way of results in my life.

I have to say that the information that came forth in my session with Gene (the kind that just doesn’t seem to when working alone) was completely and totally unexpected. My goal was to work on body image/ambivalence and conflict about weigh release etc, and what we came up was surprising, to say the least! I never would have imagined it would have had anything to do with my weight issues – and yet, since our session, I’ve noticed some “interesting” shifts:

1) a number of my remaining cravings seem to have vaporized, and

2) after being in tension about starting a couple of new exercise programs that I learned about some months and weeks ago (that would likely be more effective than the ones I’ve been doing for years), I “suddenly” felt interested and motivated to implement those and have been doing those ever since (and enjoying them too!). Go figure!!

In addition, of course, I just plain felt great after the session; lighter, happier.

And finally, the session seems to have started a positive ripple effect: A number of other significant issues/items rose to the surface for healing in the days following our session as well, which while a bit “messy” to deal with, have ultimately lead to even more positive “shifting.”

Gene is just great to work with – and obviously, he’s good at what he does. THANK YOU GENE!!!” – Lisa M., MI

“Gene, our call was a great catalyst. You were insightful and engaged. It seemed you were sitting right next to me. Our initial work to dispel the symptoms of anxiety was excellent groundwork that enabled me to be clearer about what fears and beliefs were under the surface of all that.” Marilyn, Maryland

“Since I had two sessions with Gene, I have been able to significantly reduce the symptoms from a chronic pain condition I have had for over two years. It was so easy and comfortable to work with Gene. He really put me at ease, so things were able to flow easily. Thanks so much Gene.” Diane, Canada

“I have worked with EFT for migraine on my own for almost a year and didn’t have the success that I had working with Gene in one session. At the beginning of the session I had the aura of the migraine and with his unique and effective approach to EFT he worked with me very patiently until the pain disappeared completely. After four days of having the session I haven’t had any pain, I feel lighter, happier and with more energy. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend Gene. I am definitely going to keep working with him to clear other issues. Thanks Gene!” Martha G., NC

UPDATE: “Just wanted to let you know that since we had the session 3 weeks ago I haven’t had migraine. I could enjoy my family and the holidays 100%. Isn’t this amazing? Thank you again!!!” Martha G., NC

“I was thankful to have the opportunity to do EFT with Gene recently. It isn’t often that I have the chance to be tapped with, as I am usually the one who taps for and with others, so this was great! Gene is very patient and thorough with his approach to EFT, and I always felt validated and that he listened very well…the feedback he gave me was very helpful and allowed me to think about my issues in ways that I would not have done before. I especially liked the use of visualization Gene uses, as I ‘saw’ my traumas presented as a basket containing black, glass bubbles (my own visualization). As we processed my issue with the tapping, those bubbles gradually disappeared…so this was a very concrete way of measuring my progress. I was left with a feeling of peace and felt that my whole body was smiling! Thanks, Gene.” R. Ruddock, Wisconsin

“I have felt great since our session. I have made it to work continually, feel better emotionally and am able to better handle the physical aspects of Fibromyalgia. I have stopped being so negative and reactive with negativity. I now take a step back and breath and calm myself prior to saying anything. I don’t feel so paranoid that people are out to get me. I even felt good about my job again. I feel like I am slowly crawling out of the despair and depression. I want to keep on working with you to not just feel great, but feel fantastic. Since listening to all of Gene’s podcasts his voice is familiar, calming and guiding. If you are struggling with where to start, EFT or finding core issues, I highly recommend Gene. When I was searching for a practitioner Gene was one of the two practitioners I had decided to choose from. I am so glad I chose Gene. He was reassuring and I felt like I all ready had a rapport with him.” Pam

“Instructions for living a life. / Pay attention. / Be astonished. / Tell about it.” -Poet Mary Oliver

That advice is something that’s been difficult for me. I’ve spent almost 30 years trying to avoid paying attention through emotional eating. I’ve read the books. I’ve analyzed things in my head. I’ve intellectually understood some of the causes… but even when using “do it myself” tapping, my mental analysis got in the way of really connecting emotionally to past events and feelings. My session with Gene took my analytical mind out of the way as he was the one leading the session–so I could get into emotions, the very emotions I have been trying to avoid for years. I found out that having high expectations of myself right now can change my behavior right now–but that having high expectations of a past self that were not met, only brought a sense of disappointment and low self esteem. I feel freer after my session with Gene. And last night, I ate some chocolate after dinner–and then I stopped. I did not continue searching for other things to eat when I wasn’t physically hungry. A little sweetness was enough, because that restless feeling wasn’t there, that restless emptiness that food isn’t really the right filling for. Thank you, Gene. I am actually astonished at how different I feel after one session, and I plan to have more.” Sue

“I feel like I know myself better since I did the tapping session with Gene. The session went in a direction I could have never imagined, it was very intuitive and taught me how to trust & follow my intuition more. The day after the session, I had one of the most amazing experiences of my life and I think it is because I did some deep healing and clearing out of old patterns that might have been holding me back. I look forward to having my next tapping session with Gene. Thank you!” J.

“The session with Gene was a wonderfully liberating experience. He put me at my ease quickly, and the session flowed so naturally. He is highly intuitive, calm and professional, and I felt very safe. He is totally present with you during the session and I shifted some large and deep rooted blocks within my system, and although I felt a little tired afterward, I have since felt, and continue to feel, wonderful. I would highly recommend Gene”. Karen UK

“Gene is an excellent transformational therapist. He uses EFT in a unique, intuitive and very effective way. I love way he uses the felt body senses to tap away issues that are beneath your conscious mind. Gene is so clear and focused, and able to produce results very quickly. The added benefit of having your session recorded also gives you additional opportunity to revisit your issue and clear even deeper on your own. Thanks for the great work Gene!” L.L.

“I’ve been working with EFT on my own for over 2 years. In my session with Gene, I experienced first hand what Gary Craig calls ‘the art of delivery’, and learned how invaluable it can be to work with a skilled and experienced practitioner of EFT. I just contacted him to set up another session.”

“I just wanted to say thank you. Gene, you are amazing. I just got off the phone and you very intuitive. I have to say I feel sooooo great. My vibrations are up big time. I just I will see the benefits of this session.”

One week later: “Hi, I just wanted to let you know that a week after my session with gene I had a new website and started a business. That is what we were working on. I had resistance and Gene got me past it.”Gay

“Working with Gene using EFT has been an amazing experience. We cleared issues that I had discovered and discovered and cleared more as we worked by phone. I am in my fifties and had returned to college to complete a bachelor’s degree and then attend law school. Critically important for me was passing the bar exam after graduation. We discovered that I had severe limiting beliefs surrounding my older brother who had been an attorney and had recently passed away; I did not feel that I deserved to pass the bar and if I did, I would be diminishing my brother who passed the bar only after more than ten tries, and with whom I had had huge issues. This sounds crazy since I had worked so hard to complete college and was almost done law school, but there it was, and I couldn’t seem to shake it on my own.

Intuitively and gently Gene helped me see what was going on in my head and helped me heal my relationship with my brother along with many other aspects that jumped on the bandwagon. Oh. I passed the bar exam, first try. Hooray for EFT and Gene Monterastelli.” Jessie, NC

“I’ve worked with Gene about a half a dozen times and after each session the issue at hand was dissolved and never came back up. I was, in my mind, addicted to bread, especially rolls of any type. After only one session the insatiable craving and uncontrollable behavior around rolls completely went away. I also had a session where cookies were an issue. I would eat sometimes eight at a time without even being aware of what I was doing. I don’t even think about cookies anymore and when I see them I notice them, but there’s no physiological or emotional response at all and I pass them up. I had a session about money issues, never having enough and spending it without even knowing where it went. Since that one session, I’ve had a surplus of money at month’s end, which NEVER happened to me before. EFT is a fantastic tool. However, I’ve never gotten the results working on my own that I get when I work with Gene, and he’s incredibly generous.” Angie, CA

“I arranged to have three sessions in three weeks. We were able to move thru many major issues quickly, effectively, painlessly and thoroughly providing great relief for me. I thought they would be long, sticky, highly charged sessions and take forever to make any headway and boy was I pleasantly surprised. This is indeed a man who is very able to navigate any issue without unnecessary drama very, very effectively. I highly recommend that you give yourself in trust to this wizard!” Fran, CA

“Having an EFT session with Gene Monterastelli is truly a healing experience. I have been using EFT on an issue for quite a while now with little or no progress. Luckily I stumbled upon Gene’s EFT website and decided to have an EFT phone session with him. All I can say is that Gene’s hugely intuitive and wonderfully creative style in using EFT helped me enormously in one phone session. His ability to lead me to view and visualize my problems in a way I would never have thought of was refreshingly uplifting and of great benefit to me. So I would really recommend giving Gene a call and arranging an EFT session with him over the phone. “ Niall, Ireland

“My wife and I have been using EFT for several years now and have found it remarkably easy to use and very effective. We’ve shown other people it too but having a session with Gene was quite a mind and spirit opener! We are very impressed and grateful to him for his clarity, focus, non-judgment, effectiveness and professionalism. Thank you Gene.” Harold (and Barbara), France

“I found my phone session with Gene to be very flowing and intuitive. I felt we were very quickly on the same page although we had never spoken before. He has an upbeat but relaxed style and seamlessly works in visualizations which really helped me reconnect with my body and view differently the symptoms I have been experiencing. He is very professional and has a gentle but confident manner which keeps the session constantly moving along. I would recommend him without hesitation!” Molly, Ireland

“Having tried a few sessions with different people I wasn’t sure of what to expect as each had a different style. Having then had a session with Gene, it was simply amazing as he listened to what I said, and understood what I was trying to articulate and then knew exactly how to incorporate it in the session seamlessly and it was amazingly easy. As we went thru the process he helped identify and break down my belief system so that I could understand it and acknowledge it as well. I highly recommend Gene!” Nadiya, Canada

“I was convinced to try EFT because of Gene’s confidence that it would help and because the changes he’d made in his own life with EFT were visible even given the very limited time and circumstances in which I’d known him. The basics of EFT are easy to learn and implement but I have been incredibly blessed to be taught and guided by someone truly gifted. Initially we worked on my fear of talking on the phone. The fact that our sessions required the use of the phone is, alone a testament to Gene’s abilities! He is insightful, accepting and amazingly patient. Gene seems to understand me even when I don’t think I’ve expressed myself very well. His explanations are clear and his stories and analogies enhance my understanding. Talking with Gene is easier than talking to anyone else I know because I can speak with out fear of judgment and know that he will respond honestly. Learning EFT with Gene has given me the ability to do everything from gracefully surviving a really tough day to addressing and working through issues that have been hindering me my whole life.” Cindy, MI

I was introduced to Gene Monterastelli by a local EFT practitioner and I owe that woman a debt of gratitude. From the moment I visited his website, found it so easy to book a session at a time to suit me and his prompt telephone call at the arranged time, I felt I was in touch with a man who knew what he was doing. Getting an audio of the phone session is a bonus that allows further reflection.

I contacted Gene because I lacked the willingness to stop smoking. Gene’s gentle focus and insightful reframing led me to many blocks and traumas contributing to this stubborn behaviour. I was most impressed by the way he listened to what I was saying without any judgement. It made me feeI we were working on my emotional freedom and not looking for an acceptable outcome. What a welcome attitude!

I would thoroughly recommend Gene and will use his services again if I find myself ‘stuck’ with any issue that does not respond to my own daily tapping.

Thank you again, Gene, for opening up chapters of my life that had been closed before.

With gratitude,

Aileen, Scotland

“I really enjoyed working with Gene, he is so easy to talk to and really insightful. Although I already knew E.F.T., Gene showed me some cool new things, like “parts therapy” that are fun for the mind and really help heal the heart. Gene is also great to work with because he’s so well organized. I liked the fact that I could view his appointment schedule on-line, and book my own session in any of his available times slots.” Lynn

Finding Gene has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. He has helped me on so many levels, and I have made progress that I could not have imagined a year ago. As well as being very kind, and patient, and humorous, Gene is extremely perceptive, and works in a highly intuitive way, which still amazes me. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Heidi

“Amazing! More than I expected. Very creative to uncover every related issue.”

“This was an awesome experience! If interested in EFT, I highly recommend Gene.”

“Yes! Remarkably intuitive, CREATIVE, complete session! Enlarged my own EFT too!”

“Remarkable session! Back pain improved quickly, and learned many invaluable tools.”

“I had my EFT session today and Gene is very knowledgeable & great to work with.”

Recovering Self – A Healing Manifesto (free)

October 19, 2010 by Gene

After months of work it is finally here: “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.

You can download the pdf or mp3 book for free here:

PDF Book Version (updated 10/25/2010)

Who It’s For:
This if for anyone who is interested in transforming their lives, healing past wounds, and people who are trying to understand how these process happen. If you want to understand yourself a little better it is for you.

What You Will Learn:

  • 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

My Business Systems

October 18, 2010 by Gene

Over the last few months I have been working with more and more clients on how to build and maintain a thriving practice.

We have done work on limiting beliefs about finding enough work, being good enough, and what others are going to think.

We have talked about advanced techniques and how to accelerate clients’ progress.

I love all that stuff, but people are finally asking the right questions.

They are starting to ask the questions about how to run a business.

It is more than just helping people – it’s a business
It doesn’t do you (or the world) any good if you can’t find a way to make a living at helping people. When you are able to make a living at helping people then you can commit your whole self to doing a better job and being available to more people.

I love big-hearted people. I love people who want to change the world. I love people who are committed to the growth of others.

Helping people to recognize their issues and helping them to heal through them is a powerful and noble task, but we have to do more.

It is all about the systems
It has taken me a number of years to figure this out, but I finally have a system for every part of my business. This includes creating content for the website and podcast, maintaining my newsletter, my marketing efforts, and how I work with clients.

There are a number of reasons to have everything systematized:

  • You don’t miss details.
  • Everything is done when it needs to be done.
  • Every action you take is for a specific reason, building to something bigger.
  • You group similar tasks so it takes less time.
  • You know what you need to do.
  • You know when everything is done and you can relax.
  • Before you go to bed you know what tomorrow is going to hold.
  • It creates space for you to dream up new plans.
  • AND you can add these new ideas to already existing systems, making it easy to implement and grow these new ideas.

I want to teach you how I run my business.
At the same time, I want to be very clear up front:

My systems are not necessarily the best systems.

My systems are not the only systems.

My systems work for me.

They have been built as a result of trail and error (and I mean lots of error). I have also begged, borrowed, and stolen form every source I could image.

I want to share this with you so that as you are starting or growing your business it is easy for you to run the business side so you are spending more time helping people.

6 Lessons
There are six lessons in the class. I teach you:

  • Class 1: How I create content for my web site and develop my publication schedule (AKA: How I build and maintain my reputation).
  • Class 2: How I manage client intake and follow-up.
  • Class 3: How I create audio products/podcasts/recorded calls.
  • Class 4: How I maintain my newsletter.
  • Class 5: How I manage all my projects, tasks, and to-dos with a free web tool.
  • Class 6: How I develop and maintain my marketing plan.

The 6 lessons are taught in 16 audios and 17 videos. The 17 videos are screen-captures of my computer desktop so you can see exactly what I do with each part of my business.

And, I am not holding anything back. I show you every file, webpage, and program I use. For the files that contain confidential client information I have created dummy files so you see the form and content.

[For a full list of audio and video content see below]

Don’t Take My Word For It
Here is what some of the practitioners who have done this class have to say.

Gene Monterastelli’s business class series is an incredible bargain; the pods cover absolutely everything you’ll need to know. They’re comprehensive, presented in a friendly, easy to understand method, and best of all, he’s tested each component for you in his own practice. It’s an A-Plus, and time well-spent.
Brava, Gene!

Gene’s Business Systems Class is exceptional. The materials are well organized and contain visuals as well as audios which I found to be extremely helpful in understanding some of the topics covered. Very grass-roots and do-able! I learned so much. Thank you Gene!

Gene is an excellent teacher. The Business Systems class was exactly what I needed to take my EFT web business to the next level. Gene is a pro at what he does and it all seems to come super easy for him. But he was still great at slowing it all down and showing us even the most complex processes in a visual way that made it easy to do myself. I’m continuing to implement things I learned from Gene in this great course. I’m sure it will continue to help me do a better job of communicating with my readers succeeding at creating an online business.

Hi Gene,
I thought your business systems class was really useful and informative. I appreciate the generosity with which you shared all the nuts and bolts, regarding taking care of one’s business, even down to small details. I felt your class structure was well-organized. Having personally not done a lot of marketing, I thought you made many of these subjects feel accessible even for someone just getting started in the world of marketing and self-promotion. I would definitely consider other classes with you in the future. Thanks so much,
Alissa, NYC

Gene is a great teacher. He offers practical tools and systems to implement right away. Gene is so generous with his sharing and demonstrating what works in his practice. This class is great for people just starting off their business and for seasoned practitioners who want to improve their organization.

Private Coaching
I love doing this type of work. Some of my favorite client experiences have been helping people grow their businesses. If you were to work with me one-on-one it would cost you $870 just to get this information. This is before you asked a single question. That would be just to get this information.

Through this system I am offering you the same information for more than 65% off that price.

You get all the audios and videos (which you can replay again and again) for only $299.

But that’s not all.

Bonuses
I have three bonuses to sweeten the deal:

30 minute one-on-one sessions.
Whenever you are ready I will personally answer your questions about these systems. Are you stuck on a certain concept or idea? Would you like feedback on how you are implementing one of the steps? Or do you just have a list of questions? Let me know. I will answer any and all of your questions. ($72 value)

6 hours of Q and A with past students – audio
In the past I have taught this as a class. After each lesson I did a 60 – 90 minute question and answer session with the students. In each session I walk bit-by-bit through each part of the audios and videos, adding extra information as we go along. I also answer questions from students just like you. This will give you a new perspective on each of the topics. ($49 value)

How to use Google forms – Video
I use Google forms to do my client intake, class evaluation, and reader surveys. It is a great free tool. In this video I show you how I created the feedback form for one of my teleclasses. (value $14)

That is $135 in bonus material!

Money Back Guarantee
Like I said above, this isn’t just about helping people, but it’s also about running a successful business. I don’t want you to be wasting your money on products that aren’t helping you grow your business. If you don’t think this class will transform the way you do business I am offering an iron clad 30 day no-questions-asked money back guarantee.

Act Now!
You owe it to all the people you could be helping right now and more importantly you owe it to yourself. You deserve to do the work you love, help people to grow and transform, and do it in a way that you are able to support yourself and your dreams.

What are you waiting for?

Do it now!

Tapping/EFT and Autism (ASD)

October 17, 2010 by Gene

How It All Began
A number of years ago I was studying the book Allergy Antidotes™: Advanced Procedures Manual by Sandra Radomski. She devotes an entire section of the book to her work in clearing substance sensitivities with kids who have been diagnosed on the autism spectrum.

Her results were fascinating.

One of my client’s sons was diagnosed on the autism spectrum. I called him to explain what I was learning and asked if he wanted to give it a try. He was skeptical, but was willing.

The results were unexpected (and atypical) to say the least. Within two weeks we saw radical changes. Over the course of two months he went from needing one-on-one attention to being able to go through the school day with no extra assistance.

I was amazed by the results. I decided to throw myself in to learning as much as I could about the autism spectrum and the families that live with it.

What I Learned
When I started to educate myself about ASD I thought I was going to be learning about what was going on inside of kids’ bodies and how I might be able to help, but I learned so much more. I learned:

1) ASD is still very mysterious.
No two kids who are on the spectrum are alike. They each have their own cocktail of symptoms and what makes it even more complicated is that each symptom does not have only one cause. It is not a one-to-one cause-to-symptom relationship. It is a many-to-many relationship. Each cause can have many different symptoms and each symptom can have many different causes.

You can see how this can cause great frustration and anxiety for parents and care providers. A successful treatment that works for one child is not necessarily going to work for another child. There is no way of knowing what is going to work and what is not.

2) Parents of ASD are so amazing!
The first autism conference I attended I was blown away! There was a question and answer panel with a microbiologist. There were questions that parents were asking that I am sure many high school biology teachers wouldn’t understand what was being asked, much less have any idea what the answer would be.

Parents of ASD have to:

  • Know human biology and biochemistry (at a graduate level).
  • Know how to navigate school systems that have inadequate information and little experience in knowing how to help their kids.
  • Advocate to insurance companies that often times just want to medicate their kid’s behavior and not deal with the root causes.
  • Advocate to doctors who are overwhelmed with their patient load and don’t have time to keep up on the latest research about ASD.
  • Defend their kids (and their own parenting skills) to friends, family, and total strangers. [In my online research I found a comment from someone who said the reason kids have ASD is because they are not disciplined enough when they are young and then proceeded to quote the Bible to support their point. It is despicable what some people say].
  • Provide (in many cases) 24/7 care for their children.

3) Because of their deep love for their kids, parents of ASD kids do a poor job of taking care of themselves.
It makes so much sense. I talk to parents of ASD kids all the time. I know they don’t love their children any more than other parents, but because of the reality of their lives they are given profound opportunities to show and live-out that love.

Sometimes they feel alone. Sometimes they feel responsible. Sometimes they just ache for their kids. Sometimes they feel guilty because their other kids are not getting the attention they need.

This doesn’t cause them to give up. This causes them to try harder and to give more.

This leaves them little time or energy to care for themselves and when they do take a moment for themselves they often feel guilty for taking care of themselves. They think, “How dare I do something for myself when my child is suffering so much.”

This is not a healthy way to live, but like I said, these choices and beliefs are rooted in their love for their kids.

4) There are very few (read: no) resources for parents to take care of themselves.
After recognizing the facts in lesson number 3 I decided to see what resources were available for parents to do self-care. In the summer of 2008 I spent 20 hours doing online research to find resources that were geared towards the parents of special needs children to help them to do self-care.

I found nothing. I am not making an overstatement for drama. That is exactly what I found. NOTHING!

What This Means
These lessons have shaped the way I resource parents of ASD kids. I provide two types of resources.

First, I provide resources for parents to care for themselves. There is a perfect analogy to explain the importance of this. It is an analogy that many professionals in the people-helping fields use. The reason the analogy is over-used is because it is true. When you are on a flight they always tell you to put on your oxygen mask before you help someone else. You can’t help someone else breathe unless you are breathing. It is hard for a parent of an ASD child to provide the best possible care for their children if they are not first taking care of themselves.

Second, I provide resources to aid the work of parents and the child’s treatment team.

Many of these resources are available free of charge here on the site. All the current free resources can be found with the Austism (ASD) tag. If you are interested in these resources I encourage you to sign up for the newsletter to insure you will be notified when new resources are added to the site.

I also work one-on-one with families. Because of my disposition of wanting to provide care for both the child and the parents I have created a special introductory program.

  • 1 hour of work creating the initial surrogate protocol for the parent(s) to do for their child. This typically includes 30 minutes for protocol creation and 30 minutes of training the parents on how to use the protocol (the regular session rate is $175).
  • 3 sessions of one-on-one with the parent working on the stress, frustration, and the physical consequences of these emotions (3 sessions @ $125 each, which is a 28% discount).
