Posted by Linda on 3/27/2005, 10:09 am I feel like a slow/late bloomer, since I have been lurking about Emotional Clearing (the website and John's whole approach, book etc.) since 1999. I hold onto major parts of the technique because I feel deep down that he's approaching the truth on some level many healers don't understand. But I've also realized that no theraputic approach is going to give me the comfort and relief I want TO THE EXTENT I want it, because somethin in me wants complete and total unconditional love. I don't think I would EVER be able to get enough of it, even if it were given perfectly. My sort of owning up to my own "love junkie" mindset, I've been able to laugh more and be more experimental with other forms of therapy and healing. I take what I can from Emotional Clearing and leave the rest. I keep being drawn back to spiritual matters concerning prayers of intent and developing a relationship with God. These aren't addressed to my satisfaction in the EC material, but it's OK...That's just another part of the multi-diminsional ME. The only parts of EC that are integrated firmly into my life are using the Witness to observe and withdrawing immediately from emotionally charged situations to "hold and observe" the emotion. I don't know any yoga postures, but I really wouldn't mind learning yoga. I do what Vince does. I just mediatate lying down. Perhaps it isn't the perfect way to do it, but it's the way I was able to integrate. A very wise teacher once said.."Don't let the perfect, get in the way of the good." I'd say my growth and healing has been and IS good, although never perfect. I don't know whether it's my strong prayer and meditation practice (2 hours a day), the Witness or the willingness to withdraw from situations with "hooks".but I am MUCH better. I'm entering into a phase of life that's very productive. I received a grant for my writing, I'm applying for future grants, and I'm working on several book proposals. For me, this definately points to being more fully integrated because much of my woundedness has been around confidence, shame, feeling put down as a female etc. I still feel those things, but less so. And I am realizing some dreams, which at one time seemed impossible!

Thought I'd give a little progress report since I just weighed in on Vince's healing testimony.
