Re:EmoTrance Training

Dear Blaine,

I did reply to you directly but I thought my reply might also help others struggling with their first ET experiences, so have posted it again in the list.

First let me say that if you have been brought up not being allowed to feel your emotions, and even lived this way as an adult, your energy system may take some time to develop 'healthy' in-through-out functioning, transforming the life event into something beneficial. Your energy system may be quite disconnected ie shielding out life, so this may be why you dont 'feel' it in your body. I used to be like this myself til I had my first ET experience at the first ever ET Training.... So there is hope !!!

So first let me congratulate you that you have started on this path at trying to reconnect. The rewards are great just a little farther on !

First, you said that you do sometimes manage to find a block and that it doesnt get to flow. Again, its a question of patience, as your energy system has missed on on afew yers training and practice and getting the energy to start to flow can sometimes be tricky. But persevere.

Tips to help it soften:

1) check if you're trying to hard. Willing the energy to soften is not the same as having the intention for it to soften. Intention is effortless and has immediate results. So locate the energy, feel where it is, breathe into it, notice what its like, eg shape size density, this helps you connect with it a bit more, and then think of the outcome you want ie 'its softening' and watch what happens. This is different from using your will 'trying to make it soften' Also focussing on one side or part of the energy disturbance for now, and thinking its softening and flowing ie doing smaller chunks, might also help.

2) another option is to place your own hands with love over the energy disturbance and again think...its softening and flowing, bringing in some additional energy to help. you can also bring in the energy of water...by imagining a flow of water flowing into the energy disturbance.

If you dont feel anything at all inside your body, it may be that the energy disturbance is in the wider energy field, ie outside your body. So when you think of the trigger scan and sense around you near and far and see if you can sense the energy disturbance outside. In this case, the aim is to soften this energy and then invite a little bit of it into you, see where it enters, see where it flows through your body and see where it leaves, helping it along the way by thinking ...'its softening and flowing'. Once you can handle a bit of that energy outside, you can gradually bring more in bit by bit.

The other approach is to address when you started to do this behaviour in your life. If you have an early memory of when you had to block your emotions, maybe you could tune into this energy, which may also be outside your body.

I would highly recommend coming to the San Diego training as you will have alot of time to practice and sometimes just having the energy of another person assisting can help you to get going.

The course is structured as 2 day practitioner training and then trainer training, as you dont need to be an advanced practitioner in order to teach the basics. Simply some practice of the basics will give you the confidence to offer your first workshops. That maybe afew weeks after the course, it may be afew months, depends on how much practice you do meantime.

As for advanced courses, you can take a trip to uk to the annual conference or you can let it be known that you want an advanced course and help get the local interest generated for an advanced course, then myself or someone esle will come and give it. But there is plenty to explore and learn and give and receive help from just the basics without worrying about the advanced just yet. When I trained at the start with Silvia, there was only the basics and the trainer training. And it served us fine. Advanced didnt come along til later.

I hope that helps you with afew pointers. I do think you would benefit from some one on one support from a practitioner. I'm running an ET prac and trainer training in Seattle end of May (you may wish to attend as its sooner than September) and there may be one or two from california who will come up to attend this course. If you cant get to Seattle, you may be able to follow up with them afterwards.

Finally there is always skype !!! and a distance telephone session with someone more experienced, such as myself, to try to help you get the first breakthrough experiences.

I attach for info the Seattle programme, let me know if you can get there.

Best wishes
