Actually a FREE STUDY GROUP would go hand in glove with an energy practitioner's work routine. So, if you normally have a 6 hr work day...5 days a week, then a 2 hr ADVERTISED FREEBEE on a Friday Evening from 7-9, if it matched the criteria of your current clientel, would work fantastic for you and them. The FREEBEE would give them something positive to experience your work by...and would also give you the opportunity to add to that FREEBEE routine, " what else " they could do that would help them... ....and do that " what else " only in private sessions. ....Sort of like many energy practitioners do at Donna's seminars when they are Teacher's Assistance... ....they show up and FREELY help those beginners and less advanced, but they also do private sessions for $100 to $200 bucks per session, for those that want to be worked on. That way their expenses are paid, their plane fare is paid, and they might even end up with a buck on two in their pockets when they return home. As far as FREE STUDY GROUPS go, I don't really understand the self- motivation behind doing that " IF " you are not in the business of an energy practition... ....one " guess " on my part is the thought that you might give FREEBEES because that would give you the opportunity to practice on others so you could also hone your own skills... ....and these practice sessions would end after about 4 weeks, when your own skills were honed. And, actually that is/was what I was doing. I have other clients and I'd pick from them people that wanted certain skills, then practice my newfound skills on them. When I got those skills to a basic level of Conscious competancy, then I moved on. BUT...doing the FREEBEE just for alturistic reasons (unselfish interest in the welfare of others) seems, in real life, to be self defeating for two primary reasons. REASON #1, that will not pay the rent, nor buy food for yourself or your loved ones. REASON #2, if it is free, than there is no incentive for the ones attending to actually place any value on the skills you are teaching. Now I know that Ricard is teaching about 150 at Unity in a study group. And I know that many were motivated by Donna showing up and doing some work there. So the next question is, " what did Donna do specifically that motivated them? " (I've modeled her behavior, sequences and dialogue, so I think I know, and I use those technologies also when I give energy seminars.) Richard, I suggest you take a group of 10 of these people and do a bio-data questionaire on them, paying particular attention to the 13 questions that I gave you last week at my seminar... ....especially the " convincer " strategy questions. I think you'll be surprise and perplexed at the information you garner. If you do that, then model what I do (and Donna Does, BUT no one else seems to do)on the first of all my seminars, then I'll give you some more. Fair? Please notice that I freely give out information WHEN the client/friend has done the preliminary work themselves so that the next step is now apparent and makes sense. And that information would be based upon the " what " , " WIIFM " , " how- to " , and " what else " formula of seminar presentations that is easily adapted to study groups, individual trainings, etc. On that one post a few days ago, " PR " stands for Psychological Reversal. In David's new book, " Energy Psychology Interactive " , pages 75-91, he goes over the various kinds of PR and how to quickly " fix " them so energy interventions and psychological interventions will work. That's VERY IMPORTANT! Without the PR fixed first, then NOTHING works. Energy Medicine does not work. Energy Psychology does not work. EFT does not work. Hypnosis does not work. NLP does not work. I really appreciate this group. It gives me the opportunity to write about, and to think about some skills that I normally do not pay much attention to. Thank you VERY MUCH Barbara Ann! John M.
