Say no to counselling, kids, but yes to healingNew technique claims 'less talk, more action' is the way to a better pupil A build-up of excess negative energy may be all that stands between pupils and exam success. Poor classroom behaviour could be down to constricted energy flows; an emotional blockage the reason for problems with bullies. But by focusing attention on the affected area, these problems can be dissipated almost immediately. This is the basic premise of EmoTrance, a new emotional health technique being piloted in a north London secondary. Nineteen pupils at Haydon School in Pinner took part in a three-week EmoTrance training project to enable them to help other pupils overcome emotional problems by focusing on the body's energy flow. The invention of researcher and author Silvia Hartmann, EmoTrance aims to cure emotional ills by locating them firmly in the body. Conventional counselling, she says, spends far too much time talking about feelings, rather than actually feeling them. "Emotion is a physical feeling that doesn't have a physical cause," Dr Hartmann said. "So we cut out the middleman of talk and go straight to the sensation. We found it was more effective to ask people to describe the physical feeling of a problem." For example, a pupil stressed about an upcoming exam may feel a churning in the stomach or a constriction in the throat. "Put your own hand in that place, breathe deeply and get that feeling to flow away," Dr Hartmann said. "That's it. It's extremely effective." At Haydon, modern languages teacher Geraldine Daly decided to introduce the scheme after taking over the school's peer-mentoring programme. EmoTrance developed a specific youth training programme, which was then delivered to 19 peer mentors over three weeks. The mentors will now run a drop-in centre for pupils facing emotional or practical difficulties. They will teach them basic EmoTrance techniques, which the pupils will be able to repeat whenever necessary. "It's very non-intrusive," Ms Daly said. "You don't even have to say what the problem is, you just say where you feel it in your body. Basically, it's a visualisation technique. It's all about energy, releasing blockages, turning negatives into positives." Recently, a girl approached Ms Daly, trembling with terror at the prospect of a forthcoming exam. The teacher asked the pupil to describe what she felt physically when she thought about the exam. They then concentrated on this sensation, imagining it as a blockage that gradually softened and was released. The girl went on to receive an A* grade. Other pupils have used EmoTrance to ease strained relationships with particular teachers, focusing on the physical sensations they experienced in those teachers' classrooms. It has also been used to cope with bullies and to improve confidence. "Anybody who remembers what it was like to be a teenager in school knows what the emotions are like," Dr Hartmann said. "The social and academic stress is tremendous. "But with EmoTrance, you don't even have to know why you're upset. You don't have to talk about your problem. You just breathe deeply and relax. Then, next time someone says something bad to you, you can notice where it hurts in your body and put your hands there. It works for anything." FINDING EMO Standing for "emotional transformation", EmoTrance was developed by Silvia Hartmann between 1993 and 2002. Dr Hartmann wanted to bypass the hours of talking involved in traditional counselling, and instead tackle emotional problems by focusing on the physical sensations that they generate. "You notice where it hurts in the body, then put your hands there," she said. "It goes directly to the place where you have emotional pain. You don't have to be a psychiatrist or a brain surgeon: anybody can do it." The system is based on ensuring the smooth flowing of "energy bodies", with no emotional blockages. "As far as science is concerned, we don't have an energy body," Dr Hartmann said. "But there are specific places where we carry stress. When someone is stressed, someone else comes and rubs their shoulders. It's perfectly simple."

As well as the project being written about, I was also interviewed on the radio. Colourful London Radio were talking about bullying as it was Anti Bullying week last week. They wanted to know how the training at Haydon School had helped with that. It certainly did help as the children aged 15 to 17 were shown how to use the Emotional Transformation technique – EmoTrance – on being called names, dirty looks, gossip, criticism and also what you think people are thinking about you. It’s amazing how we cripple ourselves by believing others are thinking horrible things about us when in fact most often they are not.
Another incredible thing that happened this month was being given a gold ring by a stranger in Paris! I have been working on my beliefs about money and getting the flow of money energy moving through me quicker and easier. Cheryl’s article in last month’s newsletter really helped me a lot with that. I went to Paris with my husband for a well earned rest and as we walked towards the Eiffel Tower a man stooped in front of me and picked up a gold ring. He asked who it belonged to but no passers-by took ownership of it. I said to him “it’s your lucky day” and walked on. The chap ran after us and said “madam, it is your lucky day, I want you to have the ring”. In return for the ring he asked for some Euro’s and we gave him 10 Euro’s. My husband and I thought this exchange was very strange and thought perhaps we were conned but actually I have since taken the ring to the Jewellers and it is worth £700.00! The energy of money truly does move in mysterious ways! If you didn’t read Cheryl’s article and would like me to send it again, please do contact me.
In this edition I report on how a training session of the EmoTrance technique helped 10 Carers for the Charity Re-Think and Cheryl Hopkins has written an excellent Case Study on how she helped her friend overcome Massive Boyfriend Trauma. Also in this issue are 2010 EmoTrance Conference news as well as details of how you can learn EmoTrance or receive support if you have you learnt it already but would like to know more.
We would love to hear from you, please email us any feedback about our Newsletter or if you have any questions about EmoTrance or energy in general we would love to hear from you.
Wishing you all the very best this month

Why learn to use crystals with EmoTrance
1) If you have never felt the energy emanating from a crystal before, now is your chance. First we shall explore how to tune in and get the energy flowing around your body.
2) We shall explore using crystals to heal energy blocks about something going on in our life. This is an excellent method for using EmoTrance on yourself. I have used it many times with clients too when the energy has been extremely stubborn to move or the channels have been very painful.
3) Use the crystal and your energy mind to show you what needs healing. This method is really good because you can pick a subject matter (i.e. show me any energy blocks I have about the flow of money or show me any energy blocks that prevent me from channelling higher vibrations of healing energy) or you can ask for a random stuck energy to be shown to you and have it cleared. It is amazing how much extra energy you have to use on a daily basis after using this technique regularly.
These techniques were first shown to us at the 2009 conference by Dr. Silvia Hartmann. I really do recommend you learn how to work with the crystal kingdom. Before I learnt this I didn’t have a relationship with crystals at all. I had such a profound healing at the conference that I was very emotional and have never looked at them in the same light since. If you have some crystals, wash of the dust and bring them along J
