How a good metaphor accesses the intuitive part of the mind

[Guest guest]

Well,

 

I love all the comments about Reiki, and the people leaping to it's defense (yes

I did my Reiki 'trip' also), BUT...

 

....my post was about ENERGY MEDICINE and how to explain the differences in very

easy to understand and intuitive terms WHEN you are teaching energy medicine.

 

The context of my post was " Theda was teaching a class on EM and the question

came up about Reiki in her class " .

 

So the frame I gave fit that context.

 

Here's another example.

 

I was taking a Quantum Touch Class a few years back. I noticed on the ladies'

shelf (yes, she was also teaching out of her home) Donna's EM book. I asked her

what she thought of that book.

 

Her reply, " She is too complicated. I'm sticking with quantum touch, where it's

simple, easy to do and effective " .

 

I did not argue the point with her since it was her class and her territory.

 

My point being her frame was devised to built up what she did and to demeanor

what Donna does.

 

That is normal.

 

By using a metaphor, where they intuit the meanings (those meanings should also

be true) you by-pass the negatives.
