Channels In The Energy Body

Someone asked me backchannel about what ET's views are on the channels
in the energy body, such as meridians and so forth - do we "believe"
in meridians? Do we use them?

To answer this, I go to a teaching story about the human neurology.

People think of the brain as this big walnut in the brain, but that's
not correct. It's much more like a super-octopus, extending tentacles
basically to each and every cell in the body.

Indeed, if one was to immerse a human in a bath of acid that would
dissolve all flesh, bone, tissue, muscle, everything at all and just
leave the neurological pathways intact, the system would be so dense
that you would be perfectly recognisable to your friends, only a funny
colour.

Now that's pretty dense. That's a lot of pathways. If you add to this
the systems for transporting blood around the body, from the great big
veins to the tiniest little cappillaries, we're getting a sense of the
level of complexity inherent in just *two* of the physical body's
systems.

I see no reason why the energy body is any less complicated. Being
what it is and having the possibility of more than one thing being in
the same space as another it probably is a whole lot more complicated.

Luckily for us, we do not need to concern ourselves with where these
pathways are, what they are called or where they *should* be. Nor even
what kinds or if they are this kind of energy system or another
because in EmoTrance, we don't need this. We just treat what presents
itself, all the time.

We use attention - where is it? how is it manifesting? and where does
it need to go? - first and then intention to repair if necessary, give
permission for flow, if necessary, to establish a smooth flowing in
that area.

This is essentially very different from approaches such as acupuncture
and acupressure which uses a "cause-and-effect" pathway system built
up over a lot of trial and error, much like TFT's original algorithms,
really.

It is different because firstly, we don't *have* any built up of
experience to say, if this client says bereavement, the block's bound
to be just above their nose, a bit to the right, because that's where
all the other people's bereavements were too. I like this because it
makes every client fresh and new and allows for absolute individuality
both in experience as in treatment.

The other difference is the use of *intention* to resolve the problem.
If you will, EFT et al are halfway between traditional acupressure or
acupuncture on one hand, and EmoTrance on the other, because you
stimulate the main points AND pay attention (tune in, say opening
statement etc) to the problem. We, on the other hand, are stimulating
what is *asking* for stimulation and healing, straight out feedback
from the body, and the repair is *by intention* firstly and
foremostly.

There is also one other main difference between acupressure and
acupuncture and EmoTrance, and that is the fact we are NOT treating
PHYSIOLOGICAL occurrences. I've always made a really big deal about
this difference because it really is important - EmoTrance is for
channelling energies, NOT for physiological problems. There may be a
beneficial knock-on effect somewhere down the line, but I'm just not a
physician and would NEVER try and teach my grandma to suck eggs - or
tell an acupuncturist, for example, that I know what they are doing or
could do it better.

You could say that ET is offering to cover the issues that are NOT
covered by traditional energy medicine and thus, represents a
co-operative effort rather than trying to take over or replace those
kinds of treatments in any way.

Hope this helps if it comes up and you are asked about it,

best,

Silvia
