We explored spirituality, forgiveness, public speaking, tribal dancing, primal shamanism, the power of green, advanced thoughtfields and how to love the unlovable. We certified the youngest ever EMO practitioner in the world at just age 18 - Steve Kent from EastSussex, United Kingdom, and we also certified the oldest EMO practitioner in the World - Father Oliver, who celebrated his 91st birthday at the conference. We gave each other The Gifts, had a fabulous book launch party, a PS meeting and a hootenanny - but most of all, WE HAD A JOLLY GOOD TIME PLAYING WITH OUR FRIENDS IN THE OCEANS OF ENERGY! Read the report and view lots of pictures from EMOTRANCE 08 - We wish you'd been there ...!

We really all do have "an inner child", and indeed, there are many inner children, as many of them as time events unfolded and we changed from one state into the other and still do.

However, the concept of the "injured inner child" is the metaphor that describes those times of our life and the totalities we were right then who sustained specific and long lasting injuries.

The "getting high" illustration. It's what Modern Energy is all about :-)

The question here is: If the “Law of Attraction” is a universal force, comparable to the “Law of Gravity”, why does it not work for a lot people? The answer is pretty simple:

The Messenger is one of my favourite designs of all time.

His message of "Your are not who you think you are." is one of those things, if you do personal development, that if you can get your head around it, changes many things, possibly even everything, and opens doors that would otherwise have remained not just locked but even, entirely invisible.

What Could You Do If God Was On Your Side?

Are you surprised by the title? Perhaps you are not surprised since Emotrance has to do with the health and well-being of our Energy or Spirit body. Emotrance is the perfect tool to lead us to a greater awareness of our Creative Template, and to the Creative Source. For some people religion is their first introduction to the idea of a Creator or a Creative Source. For many others there may be no such introduction. We are all aware of being in a body and of this mysterious energy or life force that keeps us in being. For this reason it is easier to think about spirituality.

"You know that it would be untrue ... you know that I would be a liar ... if I was to say to you ... girl we couldn't get MUCH HIGHER ..." Is the desire to "get high" actually a bad thing? Perhaps it's not? Perhaps the Creative Order itself wanted us to get - much, much higher? How do we do it? And how can we get high - and save money, sanity and happiness in the process? These and many other questions are good questions indeed. Read on ...

Many people get hung up on the "chemical properties" of aromatherapy essential oils. Although it is true that essential oils contain incredible amounts of complex bio-chemicals that have endless undiscovered qualities, the real value of aromatherapy lies in its effect on the energy body and human emotions, particularly on the energy super system known as "the soul". Have you heard the saying "When momma's happy, the house is happy?" Well, if your soul is happy ...

A good story has the power to heal.

A story is a containers for energy forms that the reader or listener "ingest" in the same way as someone would take a physical pill by eating it.

The wrong stories can be toxic, like the wrong chemicals - stories of misery and depression, of loss and defeat are unhealthy and we must learn to spot the toxic tales, avoid them, reject them and replace them with healing stories instead.

A short story about a man who wanted to learn about Sanctuary ...

Silvia writes: On the Project Sanctuary forum, I set a "Game of the Week" every so often. Players can, if they want to, play the game, Sanctuary style, and some will post the results of the game back to the forum. This week's game was as follows: "By whichever means you choose, travel to a different planet. Somewhere you have never been before. Let yourself be taken there and observe, do as must be done, then return. Travel broadens the mind :-) " Here are seven fascinating and very different stories about this journey, all of which illustrate some important aspects of playing Project Sanctuary nicely. And apart from that, they are fascinating stories, generated spontaneously and instantly - once you know how to play for your own personal development and creativity practice.

The EMO office has been getting calls all yesterday and today from bereaved people who read The UK's Sunday Mirror national newspaper. EMO was succesfully used to alleviate the pain from a lady who lost her partner 5 months ago. If you have found your way to this site and would also like help with your personal bereavement then read on for further information.

The Golden Voyager - what can I say?

Step aboard the ship of dreams and follow your stars ...

Phil Mollon writes: Many of the practitioners who have become attracted to energy psychology methods in the UK come from a hypnotherapy background, with relatively few from those psychotherapeutic approaches that are based on the idea of ‘talking leading to insight’. As a psychoanalyst (and clinical psychologist), I have over the last few years been concerned to bridge these fields of knowledge – endeavouring to combine the deep understandings of psychoanalysis with the rapid resolution of emotional distress that can be achieved with energy psychology interventions. Whilst psychoanalysis without energy techniques can be slow to achieve change, the use of energy psychology without a depth of understanding may bring only superficial results. In the case of complex and multilayered psychological problems, including those that are sometimes termed ‘personality disorders’, it is important to draw together as many relevant lines of knowledge and enquiry as are available. My new book Psychoanalytic Energy Psychotherapy [PEP] describes in detail some of the complexities of work with the psycho-somatic-energy system that is each unique human being.

Congratulations and welcome to Neveen El-Gamal and Dina Nouayem, the first EMO practitioners in Egypt, trained by Sandra Hillawi, in Zamalek, Cairo this month on her recent visit. This was the very first ET training to take place not only in Egypt but in all of the Middle East.

Mary Haines writes: I wanted to write a story for my god daughter Susy who was going to be 4. I wanted it to be just the right story for her. So, I set my intention before entering sanctuary asking my energy mind to give me a story.

It is called "Johnny's Bad Day" and there's a link to see me reading out the story on Youtube.

Energy nutrition is one of the key concepts in EMO, and there is no finer, clearer and more readily available energy source than the plantlife on Earth. Plants have been used in magic and medicine and evolved alongside us; but as we discover more about the worlds of energy, it becomes clearer and clearer that plants, herbs, flowers, trees and all plantlife provide much more than just a mixture of chemical building blocks. So how can we use the plant kingdom in learning more about energy nutrition, and more especially, our own specific unfulfilled energy "vitamin" needs?

The NEW EMO Yearbook is the perfect introduction not just to the simplicity of EMO, but also to the amazing richness of how this simplicity translates across and enlivens all manner of other fields, techniques and ideas which may, by themselves, have reached a threshold and become stuck there.

The EMO Yearbook is available for free download in ebook format.

Acupressure is more effective in reducing lower back pain than standard physical therapies, a study suggests. Researchers in Taiwan found the effects of the therapy which involves applying pressure on points stimulated by acupuncture lasted for six months. They gave 129 patients six doses of either acupressure or physical therapy over a month and compared the results. The study in the BMJ Online also found those who had acupressure had improved body function and were less disabled.
