Welcome back, Wil. Good to have you here. I've been gearing up to refresh my Typepad engagement as well. I think it's good timing.

I know. It just doesn't feel like the old Movable Type days.. or the early Typepad days. Time to shift. See you wherever we land. Thanks, Wil.

Jen, thank you so much for sharing your appreciation of my "Transforming Energy with Fire" blog post with me. It means so much and the timing is so right. I invite you to the Authenticity Activation space I've created on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Authenticity.Activation I love to share about my work with fire ceremony and other ways I engage deeply to invite authenticity to flourish. Here's a link to a photo album of a recent fire ceremony I held to invite calm authentic presence: http://on.fb.me/oETMd4 I look forward to continuing to engage with you... munay, Barbara

Rose, thanks. Yes. Inviting Authenticity.

Here's a direct link to Lyn's Ancient Echoes article: http://crescent.typepad.com/eem/2011/06/ancient-echoes-and-injury-recall-technique.html I really relate to what you are sharing, Judith, about what people learn and how little that has to do with what any teacher may have been intending! I always set an intention that participants in my workshops, gatherings, etc. get what they need... not what I'm talking about or sharing! ;-) I experience myself as someone who can help link people up with their authentic selves... and that connects them with what they need. Anything else I'm doing is just a conduit for that to happen.

Andie, the Ancient Echoes practice seems to be something that is part of Eden Energy Medicine Certification Program Clinical Practicum.

Judith and Lyn, I am really delighted that you both shared about these processes. I was previously unfamiliar with them. I'm very interested in exploring the possibilities. I'm a big fan of clearing out old energy patterns that no longer serve. I also like the idea of engaging the Seed Points (new name for what Donna used to call Seed Cells) while engaging clearing processes like this one or chakra work or EFT, etc. EM Lab: I like that, Lyn. Feels like there's a possibility for us to actually gather for an EM Lab at some point... to explore deeply around a few themes to see what we can evolve together.

I'm really glad you started this conversation, Cristina. It's so important. I know I've had similar situations where I 'followed protocol' but the results weren't favorable. It's helped me move in the direction of what I've come to call Yin Tracking. I think I might write a blog post about this way I've cultivated which opens me up to insights about what would be appropriate and beneficial for me to notice, engage, etc. in any particular moment while working with someone else's energies (or my own for that matter). This leads to a much more satisfying, less intrusive, more free flowing approach to energy work. Actually I have so many things I want to share that I'm finding it a little hard to really get started on them! Thanks for the inspiration here.

Thanks.
