Good morning,

It wasn't my plan, but I ended up creating something that I love and want to share with the world.

Here is the story of how it happened...

I am subscribed to sooooooooo many mailing lists! That's because I am interested in what other creators, practitioners, and transformational professionals are up to, and following their work is a great way to learn and grow.

About five years ago, I was reading through a bunch of these emails and noticed I'd received no less than eight different emails from eight different practitioners, all talking about their signature approaches AND they had all named their approach after themselves.

That isn't something I could ever do. Not because I'd be ashamed to name something after myself, but there is no way I could create and market an offer called The Monterastelli Method.

This is mostly because few people can say or even remember my last name.

I often get:

• Monter-a-whatever
• Mmmnmnmnmnmmmnm…
• Monster Belly

When I was in college, I had a professor who addressed all the students very formally as Mr So-and-so or Ms Such-and-such, but only ever called me Gene. At no point in the entire semester did the professor even attempt my last name.

I understand. It is a tricky name.

My next thought was, "But what would I call my system if I couldn't use my last name?"

Because there is a part of me that is always looking for the joke, my first thought was "I will call it RKAT!" which stands for the Really Kick-Ass Technique.

I know...it is a really silly name!

After congratulating myself for being clever, I returned to my work.

Then a question popped into my head: "If I did create a technique like this, what would I want to include?"

Again, because it was a silly idea, I pushed the thought out of my head.

But fresh ideas kept coming up, so I decided that I needed to capture them!

For the next few weeks, I had a piece of paper on my desk to write down what I'd incorporate into my signature technique when the ideas cropped up.

After a week, I realized I was creating something powerful, though I was still struggling to come up with a catchy name, so I used RKAT as a placeholder.

While teaching at a weekend retreat a few months later, I wanted to share my process with the students. I tried coming up with a great name, but I couldn't. So when I taught the class, I prefaced the RKAT section with "This is a really dumb name...I'm sorry I haven't come up with anything better...But the content is so useful I wanted to share it with you right now."

At that point I thought I was off the hook with the name...but I wasn't. Whenever one of the students asked a question, it would be something like "So, in step 3 of the RKAT do I..?" or "When I am using the RKAT with my clients...?"

Five years later I still haven't come up with a great name.

So RKAT it is.

With all that being said, if you are still reading this email, you are probably wondering what the RKAT is…

The RKAT:

• Is a step-by-step process that will lead you through tapping for almost any issue imaginable
• Is built on 7 healing fundamentals that underpin the work I do every day with my clients
• Holds your hand so you can be in the transformational moment without having to think about what comes next
• Creates healing and transformation in a safe way
• Ensures that you can return to your day in a safe and energized way once you finish your tapping session
• Can be used for your own personal tapping practice or when you are working with clients (practitioners have permission to use any part of the process with their clients)

I want you to learn AND (more importantly) use the RKAT to get more powerful results with your tapping!

To do this, I will be teaching the RKAT process live for the first time in almost five years!

If you join us for the RKAT training, you will receive:

• Live training – In this live Zoom training I will teach you the fundamentals that underpin the RKAT, as well as teach you the RKAT itself. There will be lots of time for Q&A as we work through the training. We will also go through the full RKAT process together live. This will give you the chance to experience it firsthand as I guide you through the steps.
• Full recording of the training – You will receive both video and audio-only recordings of the training. Not only is this great for those who can't join us live, you'll also be able to return to the training as often as you like.
• Two Follow-up Q&A Sessions on Zoom – When we learn something for the first time, we often feel like we understand it. Only when we have had a chance to try it on our own do we realize we don't understand it as deeply as we initially thought. We may also encounter questions from our lived experience that didn't come up in class. To help you master the process in an even deeper way, I will be hosting two follow-up Q&A sessions where you can ask all the questions that may come up for you when you try the process on your own.
• RKAT Manual – The manual includes written instruction for the fundamentals of RKAT, as well as detailed instructions for the process itself. I know there are multiple learning styles, and the written content will give you one more way to learn and master the process.
• RKAT Worksheet – The worksheet sets out the steps in the process. Once you understand the parts, you can follow the steps on the worksheet and just be present to the process. This is perfect when you are tapping on your own. There is also space on the worksheet for notes so that you can review previous tapping sessions to track your progress and identify persistent tailenders.
• Bonus RKAT Audio Trainings – I have recorded a standalone training of the entire process. This was created for when I offered this program without the live training component. After you have gone through the training, these audios provide a useful refresher and will be easier to work through than the class.

I will be running the RKAT live training in Zoom on Sunday, July 7th, starting at 10:30 AM Eastern US time.

In the past I have charged $497 to attend the training live, and $297 for just the digital version of the RKAT.

As a once-off, I have decided to offer a summer special (well, summer in the US anyway!) on the live training and the full RKAT process for only $197.

That is a 60% saving off the regular live training price.

You are going to love this!

Even though this started out as a silly joke, it has turned into something I truly love that is a powerful tool for transformation.

I want you to imagine naming the issue that you would like to transform, and then simply following the steps to transformation. The process really is that simple!

AND once you understand why each part of the process is included, you will be excited to work through all the steps because you will know how each one compounds the overall effectiveness of the tool.

You are not going to want to miss this training opportunity.

If you have any questions about the process, all you need to do is reply to this email and I will help you out.

I can't wait to share this with you,

Gene

PS: Join us for the RKAT training and I promise you won’t have to pronounce my last name. Let’s keep it simple and transformative! https://tappingqanda.com/rkat
