THE Emotional Clearing Process

The Emotional Clearing Process (ECP) is a therapeutic modality that facilitates a process of change and healing for people who feel they carry emotional baggage or who feel trapped in unhelpful patterns of behaviour. ECP helps to release emotional “knots” and energetic imbalances, which are stored within our subconscious minds and in our nervous systems. 

The Alpha state has a slower brainwave frequency than the Beta state. The Beta frequency is our waking-state frequency when we are dealing with day to day demands. The Alpha state on the other hand, slows us down, makes us feel relaxed, and opens the door for us to access intuitive information and our inner guidance. It is a state that we enter naturally during times when we relax and switch off. This is probably why our best ideas and insights occur during times when we feel relaxed, for instance when we are spending time in nature or when we are having a shower! Emotional healing and releasing occurs predominantly when we have switched off from our conscious, rational, thinking mind (our left brain). The Alpha state allows us to access inner healing resources that are already part of us but that usually remain untapped. ECP therefore uses the Alpha state to facilitate a gentle process of allowing and resolving,  to identify and release emotional blockages. It is a process that clients often experience as profound, yet deeply nurturing and freeing.  

People sometimes tell me that they feel a little apprehensive prior to starting emotional clearing work. This is because they feel uncomfortable with the idea of facing certain emotions. The answer is of course: "No not at all!". ECP is a very comforting and gentle therapeutic approach, and it helps you to feel safe in the knowledge that you are being heard at the deepest level, and that your emotional baggage is finally being resolved. Often, through no fault of our own, we find that undesirable feelings have built-up. We carry these feelings with us and they influence us greatly, limiting the quality of our lives, undermining relationships, and preventing us from achieving our goals. Sometimes we try to push the feelings away, or use “think positive,” but evidence shows that this doesn’t work. Suppressed feelings only rebound at a later stage. Using the gentle process of ECP, you will be supported and guided to release these pent- up feelings inwardly, resulting in a thorough cleansing. No outward expression of feelings is

required during this process. In this way, ECP offers us a process that helps us to feel more complete and healed in ourselves.

"But is it pain-free?" people ask. Well, the honest answer is that emotions, particularly when suppressed, often carry a charge of discomfort. That is why they were suppressed in the first place, weren't they? However, the process used by ECP is super gentle and supportive, and people often tell me how good it feels to finally be allowed to acknowledge and heal those parts of themselves that have caused them so much inner tension for years. 

It is understandable that people sometimes feel a little trepidation prior to starting this work. We are not taught about the nature of our emotions when we grow up. In fact, in modern society it seems to be a bit of a taboo to even talk about our feelings,  let alone welcoming them and processing them.  Throughout our lives we have been taught that it easier and somehow safer to avoid our feelings and to push them out of our awareness, so that it appears that they are gone. But are they really gone? We tend to find that those feelings will resurface, often at the most inconvenient times, when we are faced with external triggers and circumstances. Learning to understand, process and release these suppressed feelings actually brings us freedom and the inner-peace we all, for so long, have longed for.

There is hope for the world!  The beautiful thing is that society can and will change when we learn to find more peace in our inner being. There are many ways to do this, including the Qigong work explained in another section of this website. However, educating children about emotions; for them to learn that it is ok and safe to feel emotions and that processing emotions is natural, will massively help the lifting of human consciousness and creating a better world for all of us. We no longer need to feel the  burden of unconscious negative beliefs, or need to carry feelings that cause upset every time we get exposed to trigger situations. When children and adults feel relaxed and ok with emotions and know how to process them, the world would be a better place. External turmoil in the world is a reflection of the internal turmoil with which most of us humans have learnt to live. It is felt as normal and something to just be tolerated. Freedom from internal turmoil is possible, and the effects of this freedom will ripple through the world the more people allow themselves the gift of emotional freedom and a holistic sense of balance.
