> ET08 - The BEST Conference YET!
> The FIRST new style ET conference took place at the Europa Hotel in
Gatwick, UK, last weekend and the overwhelming vote has been -
 "That's so much better!" The difference? In previous years, the
conference was open to all-comers, leading to having to keep the
programme down to the lowest common denominator and even having to
try and convince some people that there is such a thing as energy ...
Oh dear ... This year, on the other hand, only EmoTrance
practitioners and above attended to find out NEW ways of working with
Energy in the unique EmoTrance way - and fun was had by all!
> EmoTrance is a really unusual modality in some aspects. The "client-
practitioner dance" of TWO EQUALS who are both engaged to bring back
the Even Flow is at the very heart of the philosophy behind
EmoTrance; and there are many serious reasons for this. It is a
simple fact of life that ONLY a real engaged and fully aware human
being can be of help to another; and that all healing and personal
development must arise from WITHIN. This idea of people being equal
and acting as champions for each other is very much made live and
real at the EmoTrance conference.
> There is no difference in status between the practitioners and the
speakers; the most experienced trainers and the creators and co-
developers. Everyone works together, explores together, and tries to
help each other out.
> During the trainer's day, where we defined the role of the
EmoTrance workshop leader as that of "the one who stands for them
all" and interacts energetically with their audience not in the old
fashioned, dominance orientated "top down" capacity, but instead as
an equal who is allowed to facilitate ON BEHALF of the group, the
sheer power of this simple approach of working together as adult
human beings became very apparent indeed.
> All the weight, burden, lonliness and heavy responsibility of the
old style leader simply disappears and is replaced by a mutual
lifting and energy exchange with the group, where attention given and
received creates a whole experience that makes the experience deeper,
richer, more exciting but most of all, PERSONALLY EMPOWERING to
everyone who attends and takes part.
> This is exactly the same process that functions at the practitioner
level, where all the heavy burdens of "having to be the healer"
dissolve into the client practitioner dance and create an experience
for both the practitioner and the client that are richer, deeper,
more fulfilling and simply just far more amazing than can be reached
in any other way.
> What happens when you work in this way, be it as a presenter, a
practitioner, or a trainer, is that the barriers between you and the
other people begin to dissolve, and there is more CONNECTION taking
place. It sounds all very new agey, but the truth is that when
energy starts to flow through these connections, one simply feels
much closer to one's fellow human beings, and you can see this
outwardly as people start to smile and radiate in return.
> Please don't get me wrong - this isn't some kind of hippie love
fest and we are a long way away from being wonderfully enlightened
folk that floats about in eternal bliss all day long; but just by all
of us doing our best to aid this energy flow, to be HONEST and true,
and putting our intention together, no matter what our differences
might be, to align towards the desire for the Even Flow, it makes a
HUGE difference to everything you do.
> It makes a huge difference to how you feel about yourself; how much
you have to give to others; it makes a huge difference to the
atmosphere, and it makes a huge difference to allowing oneself to
open up for healings and resolutions in this environment.
> In my opening speech and all through the conference, I said again
and again that the answer to all misery, sickness, and lack of energy
is simply JOY.
> People think that you need to heal first and then you get to
experience joy, if you're lucky, later on.
> But the truth is that JOY IS THE HEALER.
> And I'm not talking about huge once-in-a-lifetime mega-super-hyper-
event joys here.
> I am talking about little joy injections all through the day.
> Moments where we wake up and really see the beauty of the sky.
Where we feel an energy rush because of something we saw or heard or
did. When we really become aware of just what a taste explosion a
simple piece of apple or tomato can be to your system if you just pay
attention and follow the energy flow. When something happens and
instead of our normal freakouts, we hold it together and respond in a
whole new way.
> These things are PRICELESS.
> Little joys, lots of them, one after the other, they wake us up and
they start healing parts of us, re-energizing long lost channels,
they rejuvenate us, give us the power we need to actually start
healing properly, and most of all, they give us HOPE.
> Any little joy is like a road sign to MORE JOY - we are re-learning
our Creator given capacity to en-JOY our lives.
> When you are together with a bunch of people who have understood
this, have experienced the power of this for themselves, and have
begun to flex their joy-wings a little, things become quite amazingly
different to what all of us were once used to in the way of relating
with others.
> There were such flashes of joy all over this conference, all over
the time we spent together - little sparks, little stars that made
the days, evenings and nights really special - and it said to us,
yes, that's right, you're going in the right direction here, this is
working, this is cumulative, I can feel the energy, I can feel the
power of this and I KNOW that this can only get even better from
hereon in.
> Our smiles and our energy spread to the staff who couldn't take
their eyes off us and said over and over they'd never met such
amazing people or had such an extraordinary group staying with them;
and that was lovely too, to see just how ATTRACTIVE true, positive
joy really is to other people, even if they have never heard of
EmoTrance and have no idea what's going on!
> A waitress bought herself a copy of "The Love Clinic" at the launch
party when she was supposed to be serving refreshments; a firefighter
on a stop over on his way to his holidays with his family sat down
with one of trainers, John Bunker from Australia, and trusted this
complete stranger enough to let him help him with a serious post
traumatic stress problem he had after finding the victims of a
violent explosion. 15 minutes later, and this man could breathe
deeply again for the first time in two years.
> This energy is real, it is delightful, and it lifts everyone it
touches.
> EmoTrance is a wonderful thing. It is so simple and yet it has such
profound repercussions on everyone it touches. Yet it doesn't take
away our individuality - in the contrary, it makes us far MORE
individual as we cease to be afraid of being different and we step
into who we really are when all is said and done, and that's not just
good enough, it is PERFECT and the perfect contribution we can give
to others.
> In the end, EmoTrance is a huge experiment in doing things in a new
way; and those of us who have been there from the start, we well know
what it has done for us.
> We are all still new to living in this way, relating in this way
and there's a long, long way to go before we've worked out how to do
things right or are in a position where "the final word" on anything
may be written.
> But that is in and of itself a part of the beauty and the
excitement of EmoTrance - the wonderful learning curve, which has new
delights and suprises at every turn in the road, and it just gets
better and better.
> A fantastic conference, and a real signpost for all the truly
amazing things that still await us, so much more to come!
> Delightful blessings from all of us who were there and may they
ripple all around the world!
