CURRICULUM

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 books Deep Clearing or Emotional Clearing 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.
