(For those who missed it last week) I send out an email like this one about once every 8 to 10 months. It is one of my favorite emails to write (because I am offering the most of my services) but I understand that this isn't for most people.

The regular TappingQ&A newsletter will be arriving in your inbox in a few days.

Gene

Good Morning!

Recently I was getting ready to head out of town. I sat down to create my to-do list of all the things I needed to take care of before leaving.

I was doing a data dump, writing as quickly as I could. I wasn't thinking about what I writing, I was just putting down everything that came to mind.

After finishing the data dump I started organizing and prioritizing the list.

Right in the middle of list I had written this: "Tap on your shit!"

I didn't remember writing it but I was good thing to have on my to-do list.

How I arrived at the point of unconsciously writing something like that on my list is a little surprising.

How I Got Here
If you have been following my emails closely for the last year or so you know my life has gone through a major transition. Last July I moved to Brooklyn, NY.

On one level the changes are obvious. I moved to one of the largest, most culturally diverse cities in the world where even after a year I still can't always keep up with the pace.

On a deeper level the transitions have been much more subtle.

My lifestyle in Brooklyn is so different to what I was used to in Baltimore. I sold my car and walk everywhere so that I interact with my environment in a different way. The many types of people I encounter daily push me to stretch and grow.

All of this I has given me a great opportunity re-evaluate how I do everything and has shed light on a number of patterns in my life and why I was caught in those patterns.

The Last 6 Weeks
For some reason this re-evaluation has been happening in deeper ways in the last six weeks. I think this is happening mostly because I finally feel like Brooklyn is my home, not just the place I moved to.

I am no longer trying to figure out how things work, but instead I’m figuring out who I am in this new home.

Because of this deepening of reflection I have been willing to examine my life more closely.

This has been very positive AND a lot of important issues have come into focus.

My Daily Tapping Has Deepened
The amount of time I spend tapping hasn't changed BUT my willingness to go deep and look at underlying issues has.

When I wrote "Tap on your sh*t" that wasn't a chore and it wasn't something I dreaded.

It was more like, "Keep clearing what needs to be cleared and life will keep getting better."

Within this process I have also learned more about the process of healing.

I Continue To Refine My Understanding Of The Healing Process
As this process has unfolded, in addition to learning about myself and the value of honesty, I have learned something about the healing process.

And I have come to understand that something I was certain about regarding the healing process was wrong.

Let me explain...

When it comes to using tapping to clear out limiting beliefs and past issues there are two extremes.

At one end of the spectrum there is the Personal Peace Procedure. If you are not familiar with the PPP, what you do is write down every bad memory of your whole life and then, one issue at a time, you tap through all of them. If you clear out everything then there will be nothing left to hold you back.

At the other end of the spectrum you craft a list of goals, start working towards those goals, and tap for any resistance or issues that come up. By doing this you will deal with those issues that have the biggest impact your goals.

I was in the second camp.

You will notice I said was... Don't get me wrong, I still think the idea doing the Personal Peace Procedure sounds as much fun as poking a pointy stick into my eye.

What has changed is the recognition that there are some big issues that need to be addressed head on and it is precisely because they are so painful that we never get close enough to trigger them, and therefore they don’t show up in our daily lives.

I have learned that in addition to going after the issues that come up as I name and work towards my goals, I also need to make a concerted effort to tap for these bigger issues.

Some Of The Best Days Ever
A few weeks ago I was sitting in one of my favorite Saturday morning work spots. It is a tiny coffee house in SoHo with giant open windows.

As I was sitting in the window watching early morning NYC walk by I was suddenly overcome with such gratitude that I was almost brought to tears.

In that moment I realized how much I loved my new home and loved my life.

My life is far from perfect AND I still have lots of personal work to do, but I am moving in a upward direction that is so energizing and wonderful.

There are two reasons this has happened. First, I have a clear vision of where I would like to head and second, I am taking the time to address these core issues in an organized way that is producing profound healing.

I want you to be one of 7 people who has the opportunity over the next 8 months to experience the exact same type of progress as you transform your own life.

I am looking for 7 people who want New Year’s Eve to look like this:

New Year’s Eve
I want you to imagine New Year’s Eve in 6 months from now. You are out with friends and loved ones. 2014 is almost at a close and everyone is waiting for the stroke of midnight.

During a lull in the conversation someone innocently asks, “What are everyone’s New Year’s resolutions?” One after another people talk about losing weight, going back for that second degree, finding love, getting a new job, or finally getting the house organized.

When your turn comes you just smile and say, “I don’t have any resolutions. My life is getting better and better. I have taken control and don’t need to come up with any resolutions.”

Sound like something you would like to say? (Or at least think?)

8 Months To Change Your Life
If you decide to take the plunge, this is what the next 8 months of your life will look like:

I will teach you how to come up with a clear vision for your life AND we will craft that vision in detail.

I will teach you how to break down the larger tasks necessary to achieving your goals into smaller tasks AND we will come up with a plan for the vision that we have created for your life.

I will make sure the self-sabotage ends. Not only will I show you how to put a stop to the limiting thoughts and beliefs, we will collapse them in one-on-one sessions AND I will personally make sure you stay on track.

I will lead you through 16 core issues that are at the heart of what is holding you back and we will knock them out one at a time.

It will happen like this:

Part 1: Creating A Vision
You can’t get to where you want to go unless you know precisely where that is. The first step is to create a very clear vision of what you want. We will take an honest look at your life right now, figure out what you don’t like and why you don’t like it, and then create realistic, well-defined targets.

This will be done through personal inventory, detailed interview by me, and a half-day session where we will create a clear picture of where you are going. The half-day session can be done here in New York City face-to-face, via video Skype, or online, according to your preference. All of it will be recorded so you can revisit it.

When this part of the process is complete you will have a clear set of achievable goals to work toward. (Value $1500)

Part 2: Creating A Plan
Once we have clarified your vision we will break the big goals down into discrete, concrete steps, and each of these steps will be placed on a timeline to make certain you know which step needs to be taken next. This will help you to stay on task doing the right thing (not just being busy for the sake of it) and ensure that you don’t have to think of everything all at once to keep you from feeling overwhelmed.

This plan will be our road map. It will help us to find pitfalls and emotional blocks. It will also provide us with some surprises along the way. With a clear plan of action it is easier to be open to new possibilities and opportunities. Every time I have used this planning process I have achieved everything I was shooting for AND more. (Value $1500)

Part 3: Getting Out Of Your Own Way
This is the most important work we will do. When we get out of our own way we see the path ahead much more clearly because our vision is no longer blurred by fear and trepidation. The tasks we face don’t feel so big and we start to move forward naturally. This will happen in two ways: by clearing the issues that come up as we move forward, and by working on the 16 core issues.

To do this you will have access to:

1) Bi-monthly Strategy Sessions: Every other week we will talk for 45 minutes to review your progress, plan for the next week, see how we need to tweak the plan as new things come up, and tap for any issues or limiting beliefs that are preventing you from taking the steps you need to take. To do this I have crafted two tools that will help you stay on track day to day between our sessions. (8 months of bi-monthly strategy sessions, value $2100)

2) Bi-monthly Tapping Sessions: Every other week we will tap for 45 minutes for one of the 16 core issues. These sessions will be guided by series of questionnaires to ensure we are working on the part of the core issue that touches your life. (8 months of bi-monthly strategy sessions, value $2100)

3) 15 Minute Fire-ups/SOS: As often as once a week when you need 15 minutes of tapping to get motivated to do something or are feeling overwhelmed, we will jump on the phone for 15 minutes of power tapping to get you into the right frame of mind. (8 months of fire-up tapping sessions, value $1400)

4) Email Support: Have a question about tapping, the plan, or how to approach a problem? I will answer every email question within 24 hours. (This is something I started with my long-term clients in the last few years which has proved very successful. It is extremely valuable, but I am not going to try and put a $ amount on it)

5) The 10 Steps To Getting Out Of Your Own Way To Get What You Want: These audios will teach you the tools I use for tasks from as small as rearranging my living room to as big as writing a book. (Value $190)

6) Advanced Tapping Training: These are the best-of-the-best tools I use with myself and with my clients. Even if you will never use tapping to work with someone else, by mastering these techniques you will make your personal tapping time more effective and efficient. (Value $495)

7) One-Year Membership To RuachCenter.com: Unlimited access to the Ruach Center membership site which includes over 280 audio and written tapping resources. (Value $179)

Bonus: Share The Love! As an added bonus you will be given three one-on-one sessions with me that you can give to a loved one so they can also enjoy the power of EFT. (Value $700)

Don't Take My Word For It
Here is what a recent client has said about working with me in this way:

One of the most remarkable things about working with Gene is his ability to "get" whatever it is I'm going through and then reframe it in a way that lets me move forward. Here's what I mean: When I'm working with a painful or difficult issue, I can only seem to describe it using a random, confused, and chaotic stream of thoughts and feelings. Gene is able to absorb and process all of that chaos, zero in on the underlying issue, and then help me see it in a whole new light.

Working with Gene has helped me move forward in two very significant ways:

First, when we initially started working together I was trying to overcome the hatred and resentment I felt towards my father. This had been a lifelong struggle for me, and I had worked with many other practitioners before trying to resolve it. Fortunately, I made tremendous progress with Gene. I say "fortunately" because about six months after starting with Gene, my father had a stroke and ended up bedridden, requiring round-the-clock medical care. I was able to be there with him during this time, and was able to make sure that his last wishes were honored. This would have been inconceivable before I started working with Gene.

Second, after 12 years working as a software developer in corporate America, I finally was able to go out on my own as a freelance developer. Gene helped me navigate the terror and conflicting feelings involved in making, and then sticking with the transition. Here's the remarkable thing: Instead of giving me the usual "rah-rah, go for your dreams" speech, he cautioned me from the beginning to take a thoughtful, measured approach to the transition, and helped me explore way to make the move in a safe, sane manner. -- Lee, Florida

Why Only 7 People?
As you see in the description above I am offering a lot of time and attention. In order to give those who take up this offer the attention they need and still take care of my other clients, I only have space in my schedule to do this type of work with 8 people and one of those spots is already filled.

Unprecedented Access
I have only offered this type of access to clients twice before. If you wanted you could hire me for all of these pieces, but it wouldn't serve you in the same way. By having all of these parts working together over a set period of time you will be setting yourself up for success. This package is worth well over $9500 in value, and if you take advantage of everything that is offered you will gain a lot more value out of it than that.

An Investment In Yourself
I’m going to honest: this isn’t for everyone.

This isn’t even for most people.

Seven people is fewer than 0.2% of the people who are receiving this invitation through the newsletter. Or to put it another way, only 1 out of every 2000 people who visit TappingQandA.com this month will do this.

If you would like to do some tapping on back pain or a fear of heights, this isn’t for you. (I would love to talk to you about crafting a program that will work for you if that is the case. Just reply to this note with questions.)

This program is only for you if you are ready to make a major change in your life.

This is about changing your health, your job, and/or your relationships.

This is about getting out of your own way and stopping your self-sabotage for both the big and little things.

This is an investment in yourself because you will be working to change something that will pay off for years to come.

I am offering this 8 months of one-on-one personal care for $5000 (or 6 monthly payments $925).

Like I said, this isn’t for everyone.

This is for those people who are ready to make the move right now and are willing to invest in their own success.

Making Sure We Are The Right Fit
Because this is such a large investment I want to make sure we are the right fit.

If you are interested in doing this program simply reply to this note so that we can set up some time to chat. I want to be sure that I can answer all of your questions and to make sure I am the right support for you.

ALSO, to be blunt: I want to make sure you are committed to transformation. I am only going to be working with 8 people in this fashion and I want to make sure that they are the right people. This doesn’t mean you have to know exactly where you want to go (we will work on that), but you do need to be serious about changing your life for the better AND be willing to do the work to make that happen.

Remember, Only 7 People
The 7 spots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Email me today if you are interested.

All you need to do is reply to this message or send me a note at gene@tappingqanda.com.

If you have any questions or need clarification, please let me know so we can discuss them.

I want to know how I can best serve you to get you to where you want to be.

Gene

PS: Imagine what it will be like to have a clear vision of what you want, concrete steps to take, and the support you need to take the right actions. Don't wait! Send me an email so we can set up some time to plan for your future.
