The training for Emotional Clearing Facilitators falls into several
areas:
Theory
A strong understanding of the conceptual foundation
of Emotional Clearing is basic to the facilitator. The principles guide the flow of
the work. The facilitator must be able to frame the client's experience
within the principles. These principles include the concepts of the
subconscious, the projection mechanism, the dualistic nature of experience,
a psychological understanding of Karma, and especially a sensitive
comprehension of the steps of the Emotional Clearing Process. The participant is expected to
acquire this theoretical base from a study of John's Emotional Clearing book prior to training and from the training itself.
Stance
The facilitator must maintain a delicate stance in relation
to the client. There are two basic forms of stance: The first is Non-Directive: It involves conscious listening
with contact, mirroring, and non-judgmental validation of the client's
experience as well as defenses. It includes offering truly unconditional
support so that the client can learn by assimilation to eventually
provide support from within. The training as a whole will develop
the special quality of presence in the facilitator - one of the essentials
that make non-directive interaction effective. The second form of stance
is Directive: Directing the client's experience through the steps
of processing, teaching new ways of perceiving, and challenging the
client's concepts when seen as necessary. Recognizing transference
and counter-transference and learning how to incorporate them into
the process are also key elements in the successful healing relationship.
Energetics
Opening to the flow of prana from its universal source,
and being able to channel it into one's own body and to the client
are vital skills in Emotional Clearing Processing work. Detailed training is given in
how to use the breath, in both quiet and accelerated modes, to bring
in pranic healing energy and to access and integrate feelings; how
emotions emerge through the chakra system and how it can be worked
with directly to effect emotional release; how to access Witness consciousness
through Third Eye techniques; the use of Yoga as an accessory technique
for emotional/body release; brief mention of Astrology in psychological
evaluation; helping clients structure a personal self-therapy practice,
which includes sitting with feelings, breathwork, bodywork (meditative
Yoga is recommended), proper diet and attitude.
Alpha-State
Alpha-State work is the unique and distinguishing feature
of the Emotional Clearing Process. It is where the heavy work is done.
Session time will be from 50 to 90 percent in Alpha,
depending on the client's aptitude and inclinations. The Emotional Clearing Alpha-State is an
altered state similar to meditation, but with a facilitator who guides
the processing of feelings; similar to hypnosis, except no attempt
is made at reprogramming. Using an expanded version of the basic healing
induction described in the Emotional Clearing book, the facilitator's
channeling of energy enables the client to go much deeper than possible
alone, catalyzing the client's Alpha experience. Once in Alpha,
the conscious mind is to a large extent by-passed. Suppressed feelings
are accessed through various techniques and then taken through the steps of the Emotional Clearing Process. Clients often easily go through tremendous clearing
of suppressed feelings, and unconscious patterns spontaneously begin
to unfold. Learning how to guide a client through Alpha is a
major focus of the training. Learning to work in the present, with
acceptance, love, and the help of the client's Higher Self are key
elements in successful Alpha work.
Special Attention will be given to applying the Emotional Clearing Process to stress
management, intimate relationship work, depression, anger management,
integrating the inner male and female, inner child work, feeling as
a spiritual path, handling transference/counter-transference.
Main headings from the training are listed below. A
large part of the training consists of discussing each of these important points
in detail, and then breaking into small groups of two or three to
practice them.
