Dear Karen: Do you suggest, as part of the IET attunement process, any minimum amount of time between attunements at different levels? If so, how long are your recommendations? This questions stems from my history with Reiki. I am currently attuned to Reiki II. During my sessions for Reiki I & II, my instructor suggested that I allow at least 21 days for a digestion/sorting process (my words, not hers) before I took the next level of Reiki attunement.
From Karen: Thank you for inquiring about IET. We recommend that there be a 24 hour period of time between attunements. This is no problem because attunements are given only as a part of classes and classes cannot be taught any closer than 24 hours in time.
Dear Karen: I have just completed the Intermediate Level of IET training and found the day to be very emotionally charged. My question, however, is more practical/nuts-and-bolts in nature. I noticed in both the Basic and Intermediate manuals a note about practitioners conforming with federal and state guidelines governing practice of IET. Are there indeed guidelines on the books regarding practicing IET and do you know what they are? At present I am working on myself and hopefully family/friends. I may never become a full-time practitioner, but would like to be aware of regulations all the same, if they exist. Thank you.
From Karen: Congratulations on completing the Intermediate level of IET. Yes, the Intermediate level class is a very powerful class. The statement that you are referring to is one that we have included in the training manuals so that practitioners will be aware that there may be some regulations regarding energy healers in their state. Because each state is different, and the regulations change occasionally, we can not keep up with possible guidelines in all the places that IET practitioners may work. Thus, you should check with your local Chamber of Commerce, and/or state agencies (all listed in the yellow pages of your phone book) to see what regulations may apply in your county and/or state. If you ask what regulations apply to Reiki practitioners, they should be the same for IET. Many states do not regulate this type energy work, but some might, and it makes sense to find out in your location.
Dear Karen: I often find that when I introduce the question regarding intent at the beginning of a session people give multiple areas and desires to "release and heal" for instance. I find even if i ask the question with what one area....... as the focus, often people still give multiple areas of intent. Do you find this to be the case, and how do you address it? Is it a problem or a drag on the process?
From Karen: Yes, I find the same thing. There is no problem with multiple focuses . . . the angels can handle it just fine. What I find to be a problem sometimes is my own issue with remembering all that is asked for so . . . what I do is say "The focus of this session is on what ________ just said. It works!
Dear Karen: I have been asked to work with a 6 yr old girl, and remembered reading in the Journal something about I.E.T. for children. Are there any additional guidelines that would be beneficial for me to keep in mind as I work with her? In working with other children I have found that they often respond more quickly than adults (most of whom have piled on lots additional "stuff" that children haven't had time to accumulate).
From Karen: Yes, I have found that children's energy fields clear much faster. Therefore, you only have to hold the areas and integration points for about 30 seconds. The "IET for Kids" class that you read about in the Journal of Energy Therapy is a class that Master-Instructors can offer to teach kids about IET, Angels, and energy in general. We now have available the workbook for the IET for Kids class, and a tape on how to teach the class.
Dear
Karen: I was wondering if there are guidelines for giving an IET treatment for
someone who has had surgery for breast cancer. She is just finished her chemotherapy and radium treatment and said she would love IET.
Can I go ahead with the session?
From
Karen: Yes, you can go ahead with the session.
I have had many IET clients who I did IET sessions on both before and after chemo treatments. The clients found that the IET sessions helped them minimize
the side effects of their chemo-therapy and they believe helped their body heal the cancer. I have also had breast cancer survivor clients who came for IET
sessions as a proactive way to keep the cancer from returning.
I am not aware of any contra-indication for using IET energy with breast cancer.
Dear Karen: I was wondering why it is necessary to get the attunements. Could you not just ask Divine to be prepared to do this type of work and they would prepare you? I plan on getting the intermediate and advance level attunements but was just curious as to why dive would reguire this. Thank you very much...
From
Karen: Thank you for your question. The best way to think of an attunement and the reason for attunements is by using a metphor. Think of yourself being
like a digital radio receiver. The attunement gives you a "preset button" to pull in a specific angelic vibration. In the IET training classes, the student
receives 4 preset vibrations that lets him or her pull in the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master-instructor energy rays.
I hope that this helps you understand the reason why attunements are necessary.
Dear Karen: It is amazing how many people need help on the angel list. I am a new IET Master, and this is my question. I try to do spiritual selfishness every evening and also incorporate a five minute empowerment session too. When doing the heartlink before empowerment session I am using the three symbols to bring down on my substitute patient. I find that by doing this I am getting powerful releases when doing the sessions. Either the releases are coming from me or they are a combination of everyone on the list including me. Is this OK to use the symbols this way?
From Karen: It is fine for you to continue using the IET symbols as you have been. It sounds like it is working for you very powerfully. Yes, there are many people using the Earth Angel Request line and thank you for doing your part in sending healing IET energy to those in need.
Dear
Karen: I have been listening to the IET tapes and have some questions.
a) Have you ever had people asking to be re-attuned to the angel energy and if so in what situations?
b) Stevan said he would not apply energy to a woman in the latter months of her pregnancy. What is his reason for this as my understanding of angelic energy is that
it could do no harm. Are there any other medical conditions eg manic depression, or any situatuions eg during surgery when he would advise against
applying/sending energy.
c) I understand that Stevan's attention to detail reflects his engineering background. I do not have that precision and so experience some difficulty. I want to teach IET
but would be more comfortable with an approach that reflects my style of learning and teaching.Is this
acceptable? I do however, understand that the attunement process cannot be changed and must remain as taught.
From
Karen:
a) For the most part the only time that I re-attune someone is in the context of the Master-Instructor class. I did have a special event for local
Master-Instructors in the Massachusetts area this month and as a part of that event I re-attuned the Master-Instructors that attended that event. IET
attunements are permanent and it is not necessary to be re-attuned, however, I find that students do like to be re-attuned because they enjoy being in
that attunement energy.
b) What Stevan said during the class is not exactly what you heard. We advise IET practitioners working on pregnant moms to hold their hands a few inches above the mom's abdomen when beginning the IET session
and when working in the areas of stress/powerlessness and fear. The reason for this is that the 'little one' absorbs the energy much faster and
quicker. There are no other situations that we advise the IET practitioner to do this.
c) You may bring your own teaching style to your IET classes, and in fact we do encourage you to do so. We do, however, ask that you
cover the material that is in each of the IET manuals. We feel that it is very important to keep the content of any IET class the same whether a student takes the class in
Ireland or in Massachusetts! We often find that students will take different
levels from different teachers, so the same material needs to be covered during
each class, so that the student doesn't miss any of the material. Every teacher has his or her own way of teaching and that is fine.
Some teachers add additional material, based on their personal experience.
What may help you is if you make up index cards or notes that convey the material, but in your own words. After you teach a few classes,
I'm sure you will become comfortable with integrating your style with the
material to be covered.
Dear
Karen: Some questions from IET students: Is it necessary to take an IET for Pets class or may I purchase the manual for my IET students?
From Karen: Thanks for your question. Yes, it necessary to take the IET for Pets class. The IET for Pets Manual is not available as a home study course. It is for IET Master-Instructors to use while teaching the class. Therefore, purchasing an IET for Pets Manual and selling it or giving it to a student without that student taking the class would not meet our guidelines. If there are students that are interested in this class, you, as a Master-Instructor have the opportunity to teach them!
Dear
Karen: Just taught my first 2 Basic classes and a few questions have come up. Can you do group IET, like we do in Reiki? or would it be too much releasing going on for
client? Also, if someone broke an elbow, for instance, where would we work? My last question is...does the IET attunement permanently change our vibration or is the
only vibrational change when we bring down the starburst?
From
Karen: Yes, you can do a group IET session. Several Master-Instructors have mentioned that they have done this at their regular IET Sharing Sessions. You can have one
person sitting at the top of the head and working on the areas of guilt through heartache and then have one person working on the left side working on resentment,
stress and powerlessness, and fear and one person on the right side working on anger, stress and powerlessness, and fear, for example.
If someone has a broken elbow, I would do an implant in that area. I would implant a Basic IET symbol ( a here and now issue) in that area and if that area or that
elbow has had chronic issues, I would also implant the Intermediate IET symbol.
At each level whether Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, or the Master-Instructor level the IET attunement is a permanenet expansion of the human energy field. The
Master-Instructor attunement expands the human energy field with the full expansion of the IET energy ray and brings an even stronger level of IET energy through to
the practitioner during self-treatment, absentee, and client sessions.
Dear Karen: I've recently had a client with spina bifida. She has one leg with no feeling in it and the other leg is a stump which ends just below the hip area. Not wanting to bring embarrassment or discomfort to myself or her I placed my hands on her head to ground her and asked the angels to ground her while I channelled energy down through her head to her feet area. Is this okay or is there another procedure I should follow with her. She wants to learn IET but tells me she has a short attention span and memory lapse so have you any ideas on how I could teach her IET, would a class setting be too much for her or should I teach her on a one to one basis. I've taught her how to heartlink.
From Karen: Thank you for your question. I think the way you chose to ground your client was perfect and very respectful. Probably teaching her IET one on one would be the best for her if she thinks that she may have trouble concentrating or staying focused for an entire class. If she was the only student, you could take breaks more often and this might work better for her. However, she may also benefit from the interactions of a small class (one or two other students). If you think it was appropriate, you could perhaps offer her either of the options. Keep up the good work!
Dear Karen: I was teaching an Intermediate class yesterday and one of the students said she had received an IET session where the practitioner did not do both sides in the area of 7,8,and9.Instead she went down one side and then down the other side. She said she was taught this way and why bother to get up and go around each time. I told her it was important to do both sides at the same time. To me this makes sense and how I was taught. What are your thoughts.
From Karen: I agree with you. It is important to do resentment on the left side and then go over to the right side and do anger, then do stress/powerlessness on the right and go over to the left side and do stress/powerlessness on the left and then do fear on the left side and go back over to the right side and finish up with fear. It creates a much more balanced feeling for the person who is having the IET session. It is also important to follow the way that it is taught in the Intermediate manual. As we stress in our Master-Instructor classes to students, we expect that IET will be taught using the same procedures world wide so that if you take an IET class in Massachusetts or in California the technique of the IET session will be the same. This is important to maintain the integrity of IET as well.
Dear Karen: When pulling out from a layer eg physical, does the imprint have to work it's way out through the other layers, emotional, mental and spiritual also? Sometime I feel sensations through a ll of the layers while pulling out at a position and other times I feel something in one layer like emotional and then nothing in the other layers.
From Karen: I have experienced the same thing when I have done the pull outs too. I feel that sometimes the issue or emotion that is being released effects all the layers of the energy field and therefore yes, it is felt throughout all the layers. I also feel that sometimes an issue is effecting one layer in a stronger manner so we feel it there more intensely or only there.
Dear Karen: I am in middle of teaching an Intermediate Class (the group requested 2 half days). I notice tremendous feeling of being loved by something much bigger than me and at the same time I feel a great sense of inadequacy coming up as if I could never do justice to this amazing technique that I've just taought. Is this a strange combination of terms? I had thought that when I taught IET it would heal these feelings of inadequacy yet they seem so overwhelming.
From Karen: I believe that love and the feeling that you were feeling brings up anything unlike itself for healing. Therefore, your feelings of inadequacy are being brought up to be healed and released. When we receive an IET session, give an IET session, and even teach an IET class there are tremendous feelings of love being sent our way from the angels and it is an opportunity to let go of all things that do not come from love. Feel the love and know that you are releasing inadequacy.
Dear Karen: Is it normal to feel a "downer" after the euphoria of the week-end Master Instructor class? I had a real live connection with my anger which I know is my energy too but it's not pleasant like the week-end was!
From Karen: I will answer this question with a strong YES it is normal to feel down after such a wonderful experience such as the Master-Instructor class. This is true for many
reasons . . . on a weekend experience like the one we just had where there have been so many wonderful connections, new energy techniques, powerful and many
attunements which result in many openings, clearings, and awarenesses it is often common to feel a let down. It helps to acknowledge this to yourself, take good
care of yourself, and be grateful for the opportunity to connect with your anger. I would suggest that you have some IET sessions or give them to yourself to help
clear any energy that you are ready to let go of and also to help clarify any new awarenesses.
I am sending you heartlinks and wishing you continued growth and expansion of your life energy and continued growth on your soul's
journey.
