00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.600
Hello and welcome to this episode of The Future of Wellness.
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:10.960
Today we're going to be talking about a subject that is very close to our heart, and we're going to be talking about group fields.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:18.160
So we're often asked about group fields, and that's partly because this is actually the primary format of our trainings.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:24.000
People are curious about why we work in groups and what's actually different about it.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:32.320
Often people have this sense that there's something different about working in a group field versus one-on-one or by themselves.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:40.159
They sense something is different and always ask us lots of questions about what it's like to be group field facilitators.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:51.039
So this episode is dedicated to talking about the different dynamics in different group field settings and individual and relational field settings, et cetera, and making all of this much more clear.
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:58.640
Whereas people might not have the language for it, they can feel that something fundamentally different is happening than say working one-on-one.
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:00.640
And they're right, something is different.
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.439
Going to be talking today about how group work is not just individual work multiplied.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.280
So it's not one on one-to-one work with more people in the room.
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.680
A group is actually creating its own field with its own dynamics, intelligence, and effects.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:28.640
So in this episode, we're going to move away from the mysticism of group fields and the hype and actually break it down step by step what a group field is, how it forms, and why it works the way it does.
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:40.959
A good way to navigate this material is going to be to build up the kinds of energetic dynamics between individuals, relationships, and groups so we can see how they're all different.
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.599
So the first thing we want to cover, therefore, is the individual field.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.359
It's the development of an internal reference point.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:58.159
Because when you don't have interactions with anyone else, just yourself, then you get to build up an internal self-reference.
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.439
At the most basic level, each of us has our own energy system and our own nervous system.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:10.479
And this is the field you're working with when, as Keith said, you're running energy on yourself, meditating, or doing any kind of self-practice.
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:20.639
It's the groundwork that needs to be developed in terms of understanding yourself, understanding your own inner boundaries and inner clarity.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:30.000
Without individual practice and understanding your own individuated field, how can you understand the dynamics of connecting to anything else?
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.080
So over time, that internal clarity is what's allowing us to meet the external world with far more intelligence.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.360
It's where we learn how our system behaves without needing anything else involved.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.599
As soon as another person enters the picture, something new happens.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.240
And here we move on to relational fields.
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:55.120
So when two people interact, we have the sum of the two parts, as it were, and also a third field emerges.
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.759
This is what we call a relational field.
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.159
So formally, this will show up in relationships such as practitioner and client or therapist and client.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.159
But informally, actually, it's everywhere with our partners, our family members, our coworkers.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.639
The learning curve here is that relational fields create mirroring.
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.039
They start to show us what's mine, what's yours, and what's actually happening between us.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.599
So for practitioners, this is where discernment really starts to sharpen.
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:32.960
We're beginning to learn what's my energy, what's not my energy, and what is moving through the interaction itself.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:38.479
And that distinction is far more nuanced and important than most people realize.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.879
That third field that you mentioned is maybe helpful to give a kind of visual analog.
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:56.319
If we think of two overlapping circles, there's going to be the place where the circles overlap, and there's a different thing than where they're individuated versus where they're overlapped.
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:06.639
So we can call them overlapping, we can call them merging, we can call them interacting, but nonetheless, it's this thing where two people's energy interact and a this third component emerges.
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.639
And this is where things get really interesting, where there's issues of discernment, what's mine, what's yours, etc.
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.639
And it's the beginning of self and other.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:17.439
All right.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.439
So each layer, we can see we're painting a picture here that each layer is building capacity for the next.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:33.199
So in understanding group fields properly, it's really helpful to see them as part of this stack or progression from the individual field through to the relational field.
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.800
And at that point, we reach the hinge point to what we refer to as the group field.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:46.079
And this is really at the heart of the field dynamics work and what Keith and I do in terms of the training sessions we offer.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.319
We're bringing multiple individuals together into a shared space, right?
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.279
A group.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.560
And in doing so, a different order of the field is starting to emerge again, the group field.
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.959
And a group field is not simply the sum of individuals, it's not everyone's personal stuff added together.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.240
It's not just that.
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.079
In fact, it's becoming, you might say, its own living system.
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.240
And we see this uh with families, with work environments, right?
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.519
Working cultures.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.639
You see it in sports teams, you see it in training cohorts, just as ourselves.
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.279
And for most people, the most intimate group field that they've ever been a part of is their family.
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.959
But the same principles can apply to any shared social or energetic environment.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.000
So we could think of the group field as an organism, right?
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.199
Not an average.
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.240
And organisms have patterns, momentum, memory, and intelligence.
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.160
And in the context of healing work, that's super crucial.
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.120
People quite quickly pick up on how much more potency there is in a group field.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:06:02.639
So they might be used to a self-practice or working with a practitioner, but they drop into the group field and people say, wow, that's quite a bit stronger than these other kinds of healing dynamics that I'm used to.
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.079
Why is that the case?
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.079
And as you mentioned, Christabel, it is not a linear kind of situation.
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.319
It is a logarithmic effect.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.839
It is an exponential curve when you keep adding people together.
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:36.000
I want to reference some studies that have been done on this, specifically Lynn McTaggart's work and her book on the intention experiment, where she measured and studied groups of people holding shared intentions and measured what the outcomes were of what they applied those intentions to, and showed that there were statistically significant effects on the outcomes of those intentions.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:44.160
So the simple findings are that collective focused attention can measurably affect physical or biological systems.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:57.519
The effects of these groups and holding shared intention was strongest when the intention was clear, when there was an emotional engagement, and when everybody was working together, working simultaneously.
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.360
So this is a big deal.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.639
This is something that people should be really interested in, I hope.
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:18.560
And that is the underlying kind of special ingredient and some of the mysteriousness as to the potency of when you work with a group and that group has clear, coordinated intention behind it, the potency goes up very significantly.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.639
And this is something we're experiencing week in, week out, year in, year out in our in our trainings.
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:37.759
And it's been really fascinating to watch that and to engage with and learn from the directly, experientially, the power of group dynamics in a therapeutic context over the last five, six, seven years or so.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:46.399
It's important to mention as we're referencing the fields here that group fields don't stop at small groups like we've just described, but they of course scale outward.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.920
And as part of this nesting of fields, it's really worth mentioning here the collective field.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.079
So any shared experience at scale creates a collective field.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.279
So we can think of major world events in this context.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.000
We can think of the collective of humanity.
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.240
I'm sure many people have heard the collective field of humanity being discussed.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:15.120
So people who are directly connected, that might be geographically, relationally, emotionally, carries a very different field relationship to it.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:22.240
And some people are profoundly impacted by these collective fields, where others might register it more abstractly.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.639
But the difference isn't about sensitivity, it's about relevance and connection.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:36.960
So our core takeaway here about group fields and collective fields is that field impact is determined by intention, as Keith shared.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.360
It's determined to some extent by proximity, but mostly by participation and relationship.
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.399
So when we talk about group fields, we're not talking about something abstract or theoretical.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.720
We're actually talking about a layered living system, if you will, that we're already part of consciously or not.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:02.960
So the question here becomes: how aware are we of the fields that we're in and occupying and how skillfully are we meeting that?
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:10.559
This is a different paradigm that we are talking about here, especially when you said, Christabel, about scaling.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:18.159
So the key thing is it's not only about formal practice, it's about wherever our attention and our shared activity is.
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.120
So family fields are group fields, like informally, right?
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.679
Work environments create group fields.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.480
Sports teams create group fields.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:37.360
Anything that we do where we're sharing and co-participating in something, our energy, our attention, and this field phenomena of interaction is taking place.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.639
This is a big deal.
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:46.799
It doesn't matter if it's conscious or unconscious, where you place your attention, where other people are also circulating and sharing their attention.
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.320
You are interacting with that shared field information.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:59.679
This is a different paradigm in the way we might start to think about what it's like to navigate the intense and dense information systems of today.
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:06.720
There have been amazing studies on this work as well that I'll mention in brief here, two of them, really relevant.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:24.240
The first of which is the Transcendental Meditation Community and all the work they did on mass meditation studies, and that is big groups of transcendental meditators practicing simultaneously, would noticeably reduce things like crime rates, hospital admissions, conflict intensity, stress indicators.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:29.840
They had multiple studies to do this, and it's really fascinating to consider these kinds of effects.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:41.039
The theoretical framework of this, as it's often called the Maharishi effect, is simply that when a group of people are particularly coherent, it calms everything else.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.799
The other study to mention here is the research that's done at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab or the Pair Lab.
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.279
Now, we were very lucky to have Roger Nelson on this podcast a while ago.
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.960
And that lab studies how human consciousness appears to influence random physical systems.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:06.480
So it's about random number generators being affected to show that there's non-randomness being introduced because of field effects.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.639
And so this has been studied at many, many levels.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:30.320
And in particular, what they're looking at is when major collective events take place, like 9-11 large global tragedies, major holidays, is there a change in statistically significant ways, revealing somehow that the group field effect of the entirety of humanity or a large swath of it is actually having measurable effects?
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.159
And the answer to that in many, many iterations has been yes.
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:49.279
So as we scale out from individual to relational to group fields to the overall collective field, the mass consciousness of this planet, there is a shared field at that level as well, which we're all participating in and which has measurable effects.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:12:00.159
Then what we're really leaning into here, I think, and is worth making the distinction very clearly at this point, is the distinction between conscious and unconscious participation.
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:10.799
Where we have a formal practice and an intentional practice, uh, this is, as we mentioned earlier, something like our meditation practice, our yoga, our energy healing practice.
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:26.240
We're intentionally structuring and connecting to these nested fields, be that to our own energy field in our self-practice, be that in a session exchange between participants, two people involved, be that in a group field setting.
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:38.159
And in doing that, we're we're really trying to narrow the field, reduce the external input a little and create conditions, favorable conditions, if you will, where our attention and presence can sharpen.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:48.480
And that's what's actually allowing us to create sufficient clarity or calm to start to be able to see what's happening in your system.
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:58.080
That's really a much more tangible engagement and a very effective way of engaging with fields over time as you become more and more practiced and skilled in that.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.200
And this is what we are training people in, of course.
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.799
Then we have that informal life practice and experience, right?
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.159
And this is actually just life as it happens, right?
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.200
It's messier.
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.600
There are lots of inputs, there's lots of relational dynamics, there's more demands.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.799
We are not necessarily bringing our presence moment to moment to all of these experiences, and it's making it a lot harder to track things clearly.
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:37.440
So it's really important in a conversation about the potency of group fields, particularly in a therapeutic context, to make that distinction between where we're consciously engaging with material and where actually we are engaging, known or unknown, unconsciously.
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:44.799
Sometimes we're engaged in a conscious manner, and sometimes we're engaged in an unconscious manner, and yet we're still engaged.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.960
The difference is quite stark and strong when you look at the results of those interactions.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:14:06.559
And you know this when you start to do things in life, when you have a kind of formal practice where you work with others or you develop your own inner practice, you notice the effects of spending time in fields that are moving towards greater levels of coherency.
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:11.840
It's an unmistakable effect and one that's quite desirable once you get used to it.
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:23.679
Okay, so having set up all that context, now's a great time to jump into fields and group fields in the context of therapeutic work, which is what we specialize in and have done for a number of years.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.840
Firstly, let's talk about facilitation of a group field.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.159
There's there's two angles to a group field, of course.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.440
There is facilitation and there is participation.
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:44.159
So, in one instance, you're a spaceholder, a facilitator, and in another instance, you are participating as a client, as an attendee.
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:49.679
Firstly, let's talk about the role of individuals in the group field, right?
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.080
And from a facilitation perspective.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:15:08.559
And I think one of the most common misunderstandings about group work, and this certainly comes up with our trainees, is the idea that the facilitator sort of has an intimate engagement specifically with scanning each individual and tracking each individual specifically within that group field.
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:25.679
It's much more appropriate, engaging and harmonious, if you will, within a group setting, within group facilitation, not to tune into individual fields, but instead to bring all your attention and presence to holding that overall group field.
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:35.120
Because as a facilitator for a group field, you're responsible for that ongoing coherence, integrity, and safety of the shared field, right?
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:48.720
And we might say this is not for privileging individual processes, but actually holding that group field container and experience as the high point, as the as the reason to be of the group coming together.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.240
If we zoom out a bit, we start with saying, okay, you're in the role of being a facilitator.
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.960
And the primary thing to be doing is holding space.
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:02.480
And that space is just about neutrality, non-judgment, about letting things move.
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.159
And that's that's the qualities of presence that we talk about all the time.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.399
From that point of facilitation, you then apply it to an individual.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:17.200
And everybody can imagine if you work one-on-one with somebody, the only thing that you're tracking is you and the other person.
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.720
So that dynamic is easily trackable, at least in the most general logical sense.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.360
We can all imagine there's me and there's them.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:33.200
And the better that you get at understanding yourself, the more clear it's going to be to understand what someone else's energy is.
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:41.360
That exchange becomes clearer and clearer over time as you work more and more within yourself and as you accrue more experience and hours working with others.
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:52.080
Moving up, though, to the scale of the group, as you're saying, Christabel, is quite different because all of a sudden, instead of going one-to-one, maybe you're working with 12 people simultaneously.
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.720
Are you actually noticing 12 different fields interacting with yours?
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.720
Or are you noticing the aggregate of the group field interacting with yours?
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.919
And that's the interesting question.
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:09.200
I think that's where people are often asking us to talk about what's our experience doing facilitation with group fields because we do it so much.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:16.799
So we might summarize that by saying like a private session or a one-to-one experience is individual tracking, right?
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.839
It's high resolution.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.240
It's nuanced, it's precise, it's personal.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.920
We're tracking a specific nervous system, if you will, a specific energy system, a specific history.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:33.039
For group holding, group field holding, it's much more amorphous, it's more distributed, it's more systemic, right?
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:39.759
We're sensing patterns, tone, rhythm, pressure, movement across the whole field.
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:50.880
So that's not to say that group field tracking is not also precise and personal and nuanced, and that's not to say that there aren't patterns and tones and rhythms in one-to-one work.
00:17:51.039 --> 00:18:06.880
But we're much more in this umbrella space of holding a summary, if you will, of the, I like to think of it as uh sort of each individual in the group field is an instrument within the overall orchestra of the group field.
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:16.799
And the beauty of that work in terms of therapeutic is that each individual's processing and experience is held and shared to some extent.
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:24.079
And that's one of the most potent, powerful, useful aspects of group field work, right?
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:28.480
We're in this shared space that's held with a lot of safety and containment.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:40.079
And the opportunity to be able to access deeper held materials and patterns within the potency of this container is incredible.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:46.160
So there are two really important things to mention to better understand what you're talking about.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.759
And one's called sympathetic resonance, and the other is coherency.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:19:04.319
Sympathetic resonance is talking about the phenomena that one person's, let's say, anxiety comes up in the group field because a particular person in that group is dealing with anxiety as a result of the healing process.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.599
So they're feeling anxiety.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.000
Anxiety as an energy is starting to move, right?
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.759
Starting to circulate through the group.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.680
Now, on the one hand, that means that that energy becomes shared.
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:25.599
And sympathetically, there will be resonance with other people in the group who have anxiety, unresolved anxiety, because it will start to activate and/or resonate, vibrate their anxiety.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:36.160
So it's not the phenomena that somebody is taking on somebody else's anxiety, but rather that that anxiety is being mirrored, reflected, and resonant within their own anxiety.
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.559
So it presents this opportunity, as you described, for person to get more in touch with it.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:48.240
Now, that certainly is very different than the language that is sometimes used by some people, which says taking on someone else's energy.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:56.400
So it's important to reference that as a it's a very clean healing mechanism that is extremely beneficial and intentional.
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.200
Secondly, coherency is a very important thing here.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.599
Now that is The role of the facilitator.
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:07.759
Christabel and I have been holding these group fields through field dynamics through the training now for over six years.
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.880
And group fields require a different kind of development within an individual's energy system.
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:21.519
When you're working one-on-one with somebody, yes, the tracking is different, but also the amount of processing is also quite different.
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:28.880
So if we think of the flow of energy in one's field as a kind of like a turbine, that it's an engine, it moves faster and faster.
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:34.480
When we actually get our field to be more open, more flowing, the speed in a sense goes up.
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.920
The ability to metabolize things becomes easier.
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:42.480
And on a certain kind of mechanical sense, your field can move faster.
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.079
It also moves slower simultaneously in that it's an expression top to bottom more fully.
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.519
But we can think of it as speed.
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.519
It's the easiest way of thinking about it.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:58.880
When you're working with a group field, you're being asked to process not one, but many, many, many things moving at the same time.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.880
And so your own system needs to really develop significantly.
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:14.160
And so you might say that the mark of a facilitator's field to be able to work in groups is that they need to really develop more coherency, more internal organization within their own system.
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:29.759
So that as things are being introduced, as external torsions, tensions, energies that are stuck, emotions, et cetera, as those things start to dislodge from individuals within the group, as the facilitator, you're the primary processor.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:40.319
And your system needs to chug away, metabolize, and move quicker and quicker to be able to essentially digest those things so that it can circulate out of the group and be healed effectively.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.519
And again, it's important.
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.839
This is not the facilitator taking on anything, but what it is is it's a space for processing.
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:56.400
So the kind of questions we might be asking ourselves as facilitators in the space, what's the quality of this field in this present moment?
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.799
Right?
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.279
Where's a contraction or flow?
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.920
Does the group field feel regulated?
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.119
Does it feel scattered?
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.880
Does it feel grounded?
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.640
Does it feel a bit up and out?
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.440
It's something trying to move or resolve.
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:18.559
And the signals that are being experienced reading that sort of um umbrella summary field don't specifically belong to any one person, as it were.
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:25.440
So as facilitators, when we start tracking individuals inside a group, two things, you know, tend to happen.
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.119
You're starting to sort of fragment your connection to the overall field.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:36.799
So your attention is naturally narrowing and you're disconnecting to a certain extent from that broader group field intelligence.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:47.119
Whereas holding the group as a whole means that you're trusting the field to do what it needs to do without micromanaging to the sort of individual storylines or narratives held within it.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.559
This is less about intervention, I'd like to say, right, at this point.
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:52.160
It's more about attunement.
00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:11.920
When it's done well, the individuals within that field are actually supported more, not less, because we're allowing and facilitating the overall directional flow that's intending to that is desire us to take place, to uh to move and to shift and for transformation and transmutation to take place.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.960
And the there's something I'd like to add here that I think is really important.
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:23.440
We're talking very much from the perspective of holding a group field, but crucially, what about the experience of being held within that group field?
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.039
And this is something that our clients, trainees, students, attendees feedback on regularly.
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:45.359
In fact, I think it's safe to say, Keith, that arguably one of the most common comments we receive as feedback from our trainings is a level of sort of before and after surprise at what it is to experience the potency of a group field in this context.
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.640
Yeah, the group field is very supportive.
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:54.240
And it's because of these things we've talked about today, particularly the potency component, it is very potent.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:24:00.400
It's a very strong energy system to engage with when a group field is held well.
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:05.839
Because my engagement winds up being with the aggregate of the system, is the word that I always use.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.039
It becomes an aggregate.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:24.960
Everybody's field gets kind of intermixed into an aggregate to work with, and it depersonalizes everything and actually makes it more of a universal approach to allowing presence and stillness and the coherency to churn over what is going by.
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:32.400
So you could say that there are these like challenges that come from working with an individual, and there are different challenges that come with working with a group.
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:44.640
I think the individual challenge is that tracking is of paramount complexity when you're working with an individual, in the sense that that skill is extremely valuable to be able to follow and track individual changes.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:58.240
When you're working with a group, your energy system needs to be really, really developed to be able to handle the amount of horsepower that is being kind of worked through and the individual tracking requirements go down very significantly.
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:08.880
So this is the big push-pull to me of individuals versus groups and something in a more mechanistic way to think about uh how this works.
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:15.359
So if we reflect that an individual energy field can be imagined a little bit like a tornado, right?
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.799
There's a stillness at the center and movement around it.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.720
Energy is circulating, it's organizing, it's responding.
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.599
And when we move into group work, that same dynamic is multiplied.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.680
Only there's more torsion, more velocity, more pressure.
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:36.960
So group fields are carrying far more momentum, and that momentum changes everything.
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:44.400
If we reframe that in terms of a processing and healing perspective, that processing energy is movement.
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:53.759
So healing isn't about fixing, but instead it's about restoring that movement to areas where there's stagnation, distortion, stuckness.
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:59.119
So, as Keith was sharing, when energy is stuck, the field slows down, right?
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.319
And responsiveness drops and the flow diminishes.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:09.279
And at the extreme end, the group field is having challenge, it's having sort of density.
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:16.960
When a group carries unresolved emotional material, the field doesn't just slow, but it accumulates pressure.
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:26.640
So that's why group field can feel much more intense, not because it's chaotic, but because there's so much stored energy in the summary of the system.
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:35.519
So a facilitator isn't just working with one sort of seized up system, but they're holding a field with multiplied pressure.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:42.799
And so really having to concentrate to help bring an aid movement and to allow that to resume.
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.799
So that skill requires skill regulation and timing.
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:57.039
And again, I think this is why people really receive such benefit and enjoy and are often surprised at the potency of group fields.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.480
Just as Lynn McTaggart did those experiments and she measured it.
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:26.400
We have been privy to dozens of training cohorts where people they see the results of working in an intentional and clear group field, how they have transformed so much in a short amount of time, how they've processed so much in a short amount of time, how they've gotten to deep aspects of shadow and subconscious in such a short amount of time.
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.839
Because when you get into a group field that is well facilitated, a lot happens in a little amount of time.
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:43.920
And people particularly, I think, uh often comment, Keith, on how that changes over the duration of working within uh the group field as well.
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:50.640
So many people notice, especially those who've been doing the work for some time, that there's a sort of cumulative effect.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:28:04.880
And as the group field gathers coherency, as the community of a training cohort strengthens and develops as trust is built with facilitation, um, but also within the members of the group itself, that the work feels stronger over time, right?
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.400
Not louder or more dramatic necessarily, but more potent.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:10.720
And I'd say there are a couple of reasons for that.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.640
Uh one you've mentioned is practitioner development, ours included, right?
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.759
So our own systems are much more refined than they were years ago.
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:25.279
There's a greater tolerance for velocity, for pressure, there's more capacity within us as individuals to stay present when things move quickly.
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:33.039
And I think that that's, I would hope that that's a skill set that only continues to evolve as our own inner process continues to evolve.
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:45.119
The other thing I'd mention is that the tools themselves that are being used, and this is specifically in the context of the EHT and the energy healing tools that we're presenting and sharing.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.559
And hundreds of people are now practiced with these tools, right?
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.880
They've been used, they've been tested, they've been embodied, lived with, shared with.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:04.799
And there's a concept, we might say, in biology and systems theory called morphogenetic fields, and the basic idea is that information becomes more available the more it is used, right?
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.640
So the learning doesn't just live in the individuals, but it lives in the summary field of all those holding it.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:19.839
So you'll speak to this as well, I know, but we might say that when a tool is used, when it is practiced repeatedly, something really interesting starts to happen.
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:25.519
It starts to interface much more easily from our perspective with the human energy field, right?
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:27.519
The access becomes smoother.
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.960
There's less effort required to enter the state in which the tool is desired to support.
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:39.519
Yeah, this is the work of Rupert Sheldrake and Morphic Fields, uh, or field memory, field resonance.
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:45.519
Uh, it really gives it a more of a scientific kind of box or nomenclature to work with.
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:52.480
And it's simply, like you said, that things that are introduced at the field level are remembered.
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.400
And so the familiarity or the memory makes things go deeper over time.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:17.599
Studies that have been done, for example, just as a really clear example, is that they'll expose rats to learning a maze in Australia, and the rats will run that maze for the first time in Australia, and then they introduce a group of rats over in North America to the same maze, and reliably and in a statistically significant way, the rats are able to run the maze much quicker.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.880
So there's something of a field memory that's taken on.
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:26.720
And this applies to something like energy work, like we're doing, where there is a tool set in field dynamics.
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.480
There's a big menu given out.
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:39.920
And as the years have passed and as we've used these tools over and over again, and as individuals have practiced with them and practiced on themselves and with clients over time, the memory, the field memory of these tools actually deepens.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:48.640
They become more potent, both because of this memory effect, as mentioned, but also, as you also said, which is that our own systems have evolved over time.
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:51.680
And there's been quite the learning curve in the last six years.
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:58.319
I know that the first, you know, a couple of years of the EHT, it was quite different to hold a group field than it is now.
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:15.839
Um, there were times when our own systems maybe were pushed or brought about certain challenges to be able to get over the hump of certain kinds of emotional processing, et cetera, both within what individuals were needing to have processed through the group or what it sympathetically would resonate within us, either or.
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:22.480
And as time has gone on, holding a group field has become increasingly simplified, uh, in a certain sense, easier.
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:29.759
And that's why there's also this greater potency, uh greater speed and coherency to the group fields when we're working with them now.
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.680
I love this perspective.
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:36.960
Um, for me, we might say that, you know, field dynamics is a, it's really a living system, right?
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.880
It's not a static methodology, but it's very much a living system.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.680
And it evolves as it is practiced, as we evolve, as we facilitate.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:55.680
We're in this wonderful dynamic as facilitators with our attendees, where we have the honor and privilege of learning and experiencing, of course, alongside them.
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.119
So I hope you've enjoyed uh today's episode.
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:03.359
Primarily, what we've discussed is that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum, right?
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.880
It happens within the field.
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.319
It's happening through resonance, not isolation.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:15.119
Um, and that many things that we offer at Field Dynamics are really rooted in this power of group field dynamics.
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:22.240
When a group gathers with uh intention, something really extraordinary but subtle emerges.
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:33.279
Um, a field of coherence, of opportunity, where people can commit to healing, working with old patterns, and new possibilities come alive.
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:42.400
So we think of this not just as therapeutic support, but we might say energetic architecture, how real change actually takes shape.
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:50.400
I absolutely love working with group fields, and it seems like uh the feedback from community is the same.
00:32:50.640 --> 00:33:05.759
Maybe that's part of what is going on with the human learning experience, and that is that we can do only so much as individuals, but we're being asked to work within groups, to cooperate, to communicate, to be in communion with one another.
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:14.799
And so maybe group fields avail themselves of this potency because it's where our attention often needs to get to, at least at a certain point.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:29.440
So we've covered this kind of strata of individual to relational to groups, and it's a really diverse full set of understanding how we're interacting energetically within ourselves and all the way out to the collective.
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:35.119
Hopefully, this has informed everybody why group healing is so powerful and a bit about the dynamics that underlie them.
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:44.240
Once you understand how group fields work, you might stop asking why they're powerful and start asking how you can engage with them in a more conscious manner.
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.279
Thanks for taking the time to listen today.
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.400
Um, I think that Keith would concur, this is a subject we could talk about for some length of time.
00:33:52.559 --> 00:34:02.880
Maybe it's a theme we'll return to uh for later episodes because it really does uh lie at the heart of our work, our offerings with Field Dynamics.
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.359
So we look forward to connecting with you again in the future.
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.440
Do please like, subscribe, leave a review on the podcast.
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:12.480
It really does help us to reach more people.
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:23.199
Uh, if you're interested in learning more about this or even having a one-to-one chat about how um the EHT program and group fields might best support your process, uh, do feel free to reach out.
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.880
We'd be delighted to have a chat.
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:33.039
As Keith shared, um, this is our great passion, and we look forward to the opportunity to connect with those who resonate with this work.
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.600
Hello and welcome to this episode of The Future of Wellness.
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:10.960
Today we're going to be talking about a subject that is very close to our heart, and we're going to be talking about group fields.
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:18.160
So we're often asked about group fields, and that's partly because this is actually the primary format of our trainings.
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:24.000
People are curious about why we work in groups and what's actually different about it.
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:32.320
Often people have this sense that there's something different about working in a group field versus one-on-one or by themselves.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:40.159
They sense something is different and always ask us lots of questions about what it's like to be group field facilitators.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:51.039
So this episode is dedicated to talking about the different dynamics in different group field settings and individual and relational field settings, et cetera, and making all of this much more clear.
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:58.640
Whereas people might not have the language for it, they can feel that something fundamentally different is happening than say working one-on-one.
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:00.640
And they're right, something is different.
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:05.439
Going to be talking today about how group work is not just individual work multiplied.
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.280
So it's not one on one-to-one work with more people in the room.
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:15.680
A group is actually creating its own field with its own dynamics, intelligence, and effects.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:28.640
So in this episode, we're going to move away from the mysticism of group fields and the hype and actually break it down step by step what a group field is, how it forms, and why it works the way it does.
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:40.959
A good way to navigate this material is going to be to build up the kinds of energetic dynamics between individuals, relationships, and groups so we can see how they're all different.
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.599
So the first thing we want to cover, therefore, is the individual field.
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.359
It's the development of an internal reference point.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:58.159
Because when you don't have interactions with anyone else, just yourself, then you get to build up an internal self-reference.
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.439
At the most basic level, each of us has our own energy system and our own nervous system.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:10.479
And this is the field you're working with when, as Keith said, you're running energy on yourself, meditating, or doing any kind of self-practice.
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:20.639
It's the groundwork that needs to be developed in terms of understanding yourself, understanding your own inner boundaries and inner clarity.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:30.000
Without individual practice and understanding your own individuated field, how can you understand the dynamics of connecting to anything else?
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:36.080
So over time, that internal clarity is what's allowing us to meet the external world with far more intelligence.
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:41.360
It's where we learn how our system behaves without needing anything else involved.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.599
As soon as another person enters the picture, something new happens.
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.240
And here we move on to relational fields.
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:55.120
So when two people interact, we have the sum of the two parts, as it were, and also a third field emerges.
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.759
This is what we call a relational field.
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:04.159
So formally, this will show up in relationships such as practitioner and client or therapist and client.
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.159
But informally, actually, it's everywhere with our partners, our family members, our coworkers.
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.639
The learning curve here is that relational fields create mirroring.
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.039
They start to show us what's mine, what's yours, and what's actually happening between us.
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.599
So for practitioners, this is where discernment really starts to sharpen.
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:32.960
We're beginning to learn what's my energy, what's not my energy, and what is moving through the interaction itself.
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:38.479
And that distinction is far more nuanced and important than most people realize.
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:44.879
That third field that you mentioned is maybe helpful to give a kind of visual analog.
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:56.319
If we think of two overlapping circles, there's going to be the place where the circles overlap, and there's a different thing than where they're individuated versus where they're overlapped.
00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:06.639
So we can call them overlapping, we can call them merging, we can call them interacting, but nonetheless, it's this thing where two people's energy interact and a this third component emerges.
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:12.639
And this is where things get really interesting, where there's issues of discernment, what's mine, what's yours, etc.
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.639
And it's the beginning of self and other.
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:17.439
All right.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:23.439
So each layer, we can see we're painting a picture here that each layer is building capacity for the next.
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:33.199
So in understanding group fields properly, it's really helpful to see them as part of this stack or progression from the individual field through to the relational field.
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.800
And at that point, we reach the hinge point to what we refer to as the group field.
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:46.079
And this is really at the heart of the field dynamics work and what Keith and I do in terms of the training sessions we offer.
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.319
We're bringing multiple individuals together into a shared space, right?
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:51.279
A group.
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.560
And in doing so, a different order of the field is starting to emerge again, the group field.
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:02.959
And a group field is not simply the sum of individuals, it's not everyone's personal stuff added together.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.240
It's not just that.
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.079
In fact, it's becoming, you might say, its own living system.
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.240
And we see this uh with families, with work environments, right?
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.519
Working cultures.
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.639
You see it in sports teams, you see it in training cohorts, just as ourselves.
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.279
And for most people, the most intimate group field that they've ever been a part of is their family.
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:28.959
But the same principles can apply to any shared social or energetic environment.
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:34.000
So we could think of the group field as an organism, right?
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:35.199
Not an average.
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:40.240
And organisms have patterns, momentum, memory, and intelligence.
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.160
And in the context of healing work, that's super crucial.
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.120
People quite quickly pick up on how much more potency there is in a group field.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:06:02.639
So they might be used to a self-practice or working with a practitioner, but they drop into the group field and people say, wow, that's quite a bit stronger than these other kinds of healing dynamics that I'm used to.
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.079
Why is that the case?
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.079
And as you mentioned, Christabel, it is not a linear kind of situation.
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.319
It is a logarithmic effect.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.839
It is an exponential curve when you keep adding people together.
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:36.000
I want to reference some studies that have been done on this, specifically Lynn McTaggart's work and her book on the intention experiment, where she measured and studied groups of people holding shared intentions and measured what the outcomes were of what they applied those intentions to, and showed that there were statistically significant effects on the outcomes of those intentions.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:44.160
So the simple findings are that collective focused attention can measurably affect physical or biological systems.
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:57.519
The effects of these groups and holding shared intention was strongest when the intention was clear, when there was an emotional engagement, and when everybody was working together, working simultaneously.
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.360
So this is a big deal.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.639
This is something that people should be really interested in, I hope.
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:18.560
And that is the underlying kind of special ingredient and some of the mysteriousness as to the potency of when you work with a group and that group has clear, coordinated intention behind it, the potency goes up very significantly.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.639
And this is something we're experiencing week in, week out, year in, year out in our in our trainings.
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:37.759
And it's been really fascinating to watch that and to engage with and learn from the directly, experientially, the power of group dynamics in a therapeutic context over the last five, six, seven years or so.
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:46.399
It's important to mention as we're referencing the fields here that group fields don't stop at small groups like we've just described, but they of course scale outward.
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.920
And as part of this nesting of fields, it's really worth mentioning here the collective field.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.079
So any shared experience at scale creates a collective field.
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.279
So we can think of major world events in this context.
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.000
We can think of the collective of humanity.
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.240
I'm sure many people have heard the collective field of humanity being discussed.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:15.120
So people who are directly connected, that might be geographically, relationally, emotionally, carries a very different field relationship to it.
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:22.240
And some people are profoundly impacted by these collective fields, where others might register it more abstractly.
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.639
But the difference isn't about sensitivity, it's about relevance and connection.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:36.960
So our core takeaway here about group fields and collective fields is that field impact is determined by intention, as Keith shared.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:43.360
It's determined to some extent by proximity, but mostly by participation and relationship.
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.399
So when we talk about group fields, we're not talking about something abstract or theoretical.
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.720
We're actually talking about a layered living system, if you will, that we're already part of consciously or not.
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:02.960
So the question here becomes: how aware are we of the fields that we're in and occupying and how skillfully are we meeting that?
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:10.559
This is a different paradigm that we are talking about here, especially when you said, Christabel, about scaling.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:18.159
So the key thing is it's not only about formal practice, it's about wherever our attention and our shared activity is.
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.120
So family fields are group fields, like informally, right?
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.679
Work environments create group fields.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.480
Sports teams create group fields.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:37.360
Anything that we do where we're sharing and co-participating in something, our energy, our attention, and this field phenomena of interaction is taking place.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.639
This is a big deal.
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:46.799
It doesn't matter if it's conscious or unconscious, where you place your attention, where other people are also circulating and sharing their attention.
00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:50.320
You are interacting with that shared field information.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:59.679
This is a different paradigm in the way we might start to think about what it's like to navigate the intense and dense information systems of today.
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:06.720
There have been amazing studies on this work as well that I'll mention in brief here, two of them, really relevant.
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:24.240
The first of which is the Transcendental Meditation Community and all the work they did on mass meditation studies, and that is big groups of transcendental meditators practicing simultaneously, would noticeably reduce things like crime rates, hospital admissions, conflict intensity, stress indicators.
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:29.840
They had multiple studies to do this, and it's really fascinating to consider these kinds of effects.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:41.039
The theoretical framework of this, as it's often called the Maharishi effect, is simply that when a group of people are particularly coherent, it calms everything else.
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:48.799
The other study to mention here is the research that's done at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab or the Pair Lab.
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.279
Now, we were very lucky to have Roger Nelson on this podcast a while ago.
00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:58.960
And that lab studies how human consciousness appears to influence random physical systems.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:06.480
So it's about random number generators being affected to show that there's non-randomness being introduced because of field effects.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.639
And so this has been studied at many, many levels.
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:30.320
And in particular, what they're looking at is when major collective events take place, like 9-11 large global tragedies, major holidays, is there a change in statistically significant ways, revealing somehow that the group field effect of the entirety of humanity or a large swath of it is actually having measurable effects?
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.159
And the answer to that in many, many iterations has been yes.
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:49.279
So as we scale out from individual to relational to group fields to the overall collective field, the mass consciousness of this planet, there is a shared field at that level as well, which we're all participating in and which has measurable effects.
00:11:49.679 --> 00:12:00.159
Then what we're really leaning into here, I think, and is worth making the distinction very clearly at this point, is the distinction between conscious and unconscious participation.
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:10.799
Where we have a formal practice and an intentional practice, uh, this is, as we mentioned earlier, something like our meditation practice, our yoga, our energy healing practice.
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:26.240
We're intentionally structuring and connecting to these nested fields, be that to our own energy field in our self-practice, be that in a session exchange between participants, two people involved, be that in a group field setting.
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:38.159
And in doing that, we're we're really trying to narrow the field, reduce the external input a little and create conditions, favorable conditions, if you will, where our attention and presence can sharpen.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:48.480
And that's what's actually allowing us to create sufficient clarity or calm to start to be able to see what's happening in your system.
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:58.080
That's really a much more tangible engagement and a very effective way of engaging with fields over time as you become more and more practiced and skilled in that.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.200
And this is what we are training people in, of course.
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:04.799
Then we have that informal life practice and experience, right?
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.159
And this is actually just life as it happens, right?
00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.200
It's messier.
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.600
There are lots of inputs, there's lots of relational dynamics, there's more demands.
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:20.799
We are not necessarily bringing our presence moment to moment to all of these experiences, and it's making it a lot harder to track things clearly.
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:37.440
So it's really important in a conversation about the potency of group fields, particularly in a therapeutic context, to make that distinction between where we're consciously engaging with material and where actually we are engaging, known or unknown, unconsciously.
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:44.799
Sometimes we're engaged in a conscious manner, and sometimes we're engaged in an unconscious manner, and yet we're still engaged.
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:50.960
The difference is quite stark and strong when you look at the results of those interactions.
00:13:51.120 --> 00:14:06.559
And you know this when you start to do things in life, when you have a kind of formal practice where you work with others or you develop your own inner practice, you notice the effects of spending time in fields that are moving towards greater levels of coherency.
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:11.840
It's an unmistakable effect and one that's quite desirable once you get used to it.
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:23.679
Okay, so having set up all that context, now's a great time to jump into fields and group fields in the context of therapeutic work, which is what we specialize in and have done for a number of years.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.840
Firstly, let's talk about facilitation of a group field.
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:30.159
There's there's two angles to a group field, of course.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.440
There is facilitation and there is participation.
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:44.159
So, in one instance, you're a spaceholder, a facilitator, and in another instance, you are participating as a client, as an attendee.
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:49.679
Firstly, let's talk about the role of individuals in the group field, right?
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.080
And from a facilitation perspective.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:15:08.559
And I think one of the most common misunderstandings about group work, and this certainly comes up with our trainees, is the idea that the facilitator sort of has an intimate engagement specifically with scanning each individual and tracking each individual specifically within that group field.
00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:25.679
It's much more appropriate, engaging and harmonious, if you will, within a group setting, within group facilitation, not to tune into individual fields, but instead to bring all your attention and presence to holding that overall group field.
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:35.120
Because as a facilitator for a group field, you're responsible for that ongoing coherence, integrity, and safety of the shared field, right?
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:48.720
And we might say this is not for privileging individual processes, but actually holding that group field container and experience as the high point, as the as the reason to be of the group coming together.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.240
If we zoom out a bit, we start with saying, okay, you're in the role of being a facilitator.
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.960
And the primary thing to be doing is holding space.
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:02.480
And that space is just about neutrality, non-judgment, about letting things move.
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.159
And that's that's the qualities of presence that we talk about all the time.
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.399
From that point of facilitation, you then apply it to an individual.
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:17.200
And everybody can imagine if you work one-on-one with somebody, the only thing that you're tracking is you and the other person.
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:22.720
So that dynamic is easily trackable, at least in the most general logical sense.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.360
We can all imagine there's me and there's them.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:33.200
And the better that you get at understanding yourself, the more clear it's going to be to understand what someone else's energy is.
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:41.360
That exchange becomes clearer and clearer over time as you work more and more within yourself and as you accrue more experience and hours working with others.
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:52.080
Moving up, though, to the scale of the group, as you're saying, Christabel, is quite different because all of a sudden, instead of going one-to-one, maybe you're working with 12 people simultaneously.
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.720
Are you actually noticing 12 different fields interacting with yours?
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.720
Or are you noticing the aggregate of the group field interacting with yours?
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:01.919
And that's the interesting question.
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:09.200
I think that's where people are often asking us to talk about what's our experience doing facilitation with group fields because we do it so much.
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:16.799
So we might summarize that by saying like a private session or a one-to-one experience is individual tracking, right?
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.839
It's high resolution.
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.240
It's nuanced, it's precise, it's personal.
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:25.920
We're tracking a specific nervous system, if you will, a specific energy system, a specific history.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:33.039
For group holding, group field holding, it's much more amorphous, it's more distributed, it's more systemic, right?
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:39.759
We're sensing patterns, tone, rhythm, pressure, movement across the whole field.
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:50.880
So that's not to say that group field tracking is not also precise and personal and nuanced, and that's not to say that there aren't patterns and tones and rhythms in one-to-one work.
00:17:51.039 --> 00:18:06.880
But we're much more in this umbrella space of holding a summary, if you will, of the, I like to think of it as uh sort of each individual in the group field is an instrument within the overall orchestra of the group field.
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:16.799
And the beauty of that work in terms of therapeutic is that each individual's processing and experience is held and shared to some extent.
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:24.079
And that's one of the most potent, powerful, useful aspects of group field work, right?
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:28.480
We're in this shared space that's held with a lot of safety and containment.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:40.079
And the opportunity to be able to access deeper held materials and patterns within the potency of this container is incredible.
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:46.160
So there are two really important things to mention to better understand what you're talking about.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.759
And one's called sympathetic resonance, and the other is coherency.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:19:04.319
Sympathetic resonance is talking about the phenomena that one person's, let's say, anxiety comes up in the group field because a particular person in that group is dealing with anxiety as a result of the healing process.
00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:05.599
So they're feeling anxiety.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.000
Anxiety as an energy is starting to move, right?
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:09.759
Starting to circulate through the group.
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.680
Now, on the one hand, that means that that energy becomes shared.
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:25.599
And sympathetically, there will be resonance with other people in the group who have anxiety, unresolved anxiety, because it will start to activate and/or resonate, vibrate their anxiety.
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:36.160
So it's not the phenomena that somebody is taking on somebody else's anxiety, but rather that that anxiety is being mirrored, reflected, and resonant within their own anxiety.
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.559
So it presents this opportunity, as you described, for person to get more in touch with it.
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:48.240
Now, that certainly is very different than the language that is sometimes used by some people, which says taking on someone else's energy.
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:56.400
So it's important to reference that as a it's a very clean healing mechanism that is extremely beneficial and intentional.
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.200
Secondly, coherency is a very important thing here.
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:01.599
Now that is The role of the facilitator.
00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:07.759
Christabel and I have been holding these group fields through field dynamics through the training now for over six years.
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.880
And group fields require a different kind of development within an individual's energy system.
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:21.519
When you're working one-on-one with somebody, yes, the tracking is different, but also the amount of processing is also quite different.
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:28.880
So if we think of the flow of energy in one's field as a kind of like a turbine, that it's an engine, it moves faster and faster.
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:34.480
When we actually get our field to be more open, more flowing, the speed in a sense goes up.
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.920
The ability to metabolize things becomes easier.
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:42.480
And on a certain kind of mechanical sense, your field can move faster.
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:48.079
It also moves slower simultaneously in that it's an expression top to bottom more fully.
00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:49.519
But we can think of it as speed.
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.519
It's the easiest way of thinking about it.
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:58.880
When you're working with a group field, you're being asked to process not one, but many, many, many things moving at the same time.
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:02.880
And so your own system needs to really develop significantly.
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:14.160
And so you might say that the mark of a facilitator's field to be able to work in groups is that they need to really develop more coherency, more internal organization within their own system.
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:29.759
So that as things are being introduced, as external torsions, tensions, energies that are stuck, emotions, et cetera, as those things start to dislodge from individuals within the group, as the facilitator, you're the primary processor.
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:40.319
And your system needs to chug away, metabolize, and move quicker and quicker to be able to essentially digest those things so that it can circulate out of the group and be healed effectively.
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.519
And again, it's important.
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.839
This is not the facilitator taking on anything, but what it is is it's a space for processing.
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:56.400
So the kind of questions we might be asking ourselves as facilitators in the space, what's the quality of this field in this present moment?
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.799
Right?
00:21:56.960 --> 00:21:59.279
Where's a contraction or flow?
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:01.920
Does the group field feel regulated?
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:03.119
Does it feel scattered?
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.880
Does it feel grounded?
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:06.640
Does it feel a bit up and out?
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.440
It's something trying to move or resolve.
00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:18.559
And the signals that are being experienced reading that sort of um umbrella summary field don't specifically belong to any one person, as it were.
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:25.440
So as facilitators, when we start tracking individuals inside a group, two things, you know, tend to happen.
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.119
You're starting to sort of fragment your connection to the overall field.
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:36.799
So your attention is naturally narrowing and you're disconnecting to a certain extent from that broader group field intelligence.
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:47.119
Whereas holding the group as a whole means that you're trusting the field to do what it needs to do without micromanaging to the sort of individual storylines or narratives held within it.
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:50.559
This is less about intervention, I'd like to say, right, at this point.
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:52.160
It's more about attunement.
00:22:52.319 --> 00:23:11.920
When it's done well, the individuals within that field are actually supported more, not less, because we're allowing and facilitating the overall directional flow that's intending to that is desire us to take place, to uh to move and to shift and for transformation and transmutation to take place.
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.960
And the there's something I'd like to add here that I think is really important.
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:23.440
We're talking very much from the perspective of holding a group field, but crucially, what about the experience of being held within that group field?
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:29.039
And this is something that our clients, trainees, students, attendees feedback on regularly.
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:45.359
In fact, I think it's safe to say, Keith, that arguably one of the most common comments we receive as feedback from our trainings is a level of sort of before and after surprise at what it is to experience the potency of a group field in this context.
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.640
Yeah, the group field is very supportive.
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:54.240
And it's because of these things we've talked about today, particularly the potency component, it is very potent.
00:23:54.319 --> 00:24:00.400
It's a very strong energy system to engage with when a group field is held well.
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:05.839
Because my engagement winds up being with the aggregate of the system, is the word that I always use.
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:07.039
It becomes an aggregate.
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:24.960
Everybody's field gets kind of intermixed into an aggregate to work with, and it depersonalizes everything and actually makes it more of a universal approach to allowing presence and stillness and the coherency to churn over what is going by.
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:32.400
So you could say that there are these like challenges that come from working with an individual, and there are different challenges that come with working with a group.
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:44.640
I think the individual challenge is that tracking is of paramount complexity when you're working with an individual, in the sense that that skill is extremely valuable to be able to follow and track individual changes.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:58.240
When you're working with a group, your energy system needs to be really, really developed to be able to handle the amount of horsepower that is being kind of worked through and the individual tracking requirements go down very significantly.
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:08.880
So this is the big push-pull to me of individuals versus groups and something in a more mechanistic way to think about uh how this works.
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:15.359
So if we reflect that an individual energy field can be imagined a little bit like a tornado, right?
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.799
There's a stillness at the center and movement around it.
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.720
Energy is circulating, it's organizing, it's responding.
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.599
And when we move into group work, that same dynamic is multiplied.
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.680
Only there's more torsion, more velocity, more pressure.
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:36.960
So group fields are carrying far more momentum, and that momentum changes everything.
00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:44.400
If we reframe that in terms of a processing and healing perspective, that processing energy is movement.
00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:53.759
So healing isn't about fixing, but instead it's about restoring that movement to areas where there's stagnation, distortion, stuckness.
00:25:54.319 --> 00:25:59.119
So, as Keith was sharing, when energy is stuck, the field slows down, right?
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:02.319
And responsiveness drops and the flow diminishes.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:09.279
And at the extreme end, the group field is having challenge, it's having sort of density.
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:16.960
When a group carries unresolved emotional material, the field doesn't just slow, but it accumulates pressure.
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:26.640
So that's why group field can feel much more intense, not because it's chaotic, but because there's so much stored energy in the summary of the system.
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:35.519
So a facilitator isn't just working with one sort of seized up system, but they're holding a field with multiplied pressure.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:42.799
And so really having to concentrate to help bring an aid movement and to allow that to resume.
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:46.799
So that skill requires skill regulation and timing.
00:26:47.759 --> 00:26:57.039
And again, I think this is why people really receive such benefit and enjoy and are often surprised at the potency of group fields.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.480
Just as Lynn McTaggart did those experiments and she measured it.
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:26.400
We have been privy to dozens of training cohorts where people they see the results of working in an intentional and clear group field, how they have transformed so much in a short amount of time, how they've processed so much in a short amount of time, how they've gotten to deep aspects of shadow and subconscious in such a short amount of time.
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:33.839
Because when you get into a group field that is well facilitated, a lot happens in a little amount of time.
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:43.920
And people particularly, I think, uh often comment, Keith, on how that changes over the duration of working within uh the group field as well.
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:50.640
So many people notice, especially those who've been doing the work for some time, that there's a sort of cumulative effect.
00:27:50.720 --> 00:28:04.880
And as the group field gathers coherency, as the community of a training cohort strengthens and develops as trust is built with facilitation, um, but also within the members of the group itself, that the work feels stronger over time, right?
00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:08.400
Not louder or more dramatic necessarily, but more potent.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:10.720
And I'd say there are a couple of reasons for that.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.640
Uh one you've mentioned is practitioner development, ours included, right?
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.759
So our own systems are much more refined than they were years ago.
00:28:17.920 --> 00:28:25.279
There's a greater tolerance for velocity, for pressure, there's more capacity within us as individuals to stay present when things move quickly.
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:33.039
And I think that that's, I would hope that that's a skill set that only continues to evolve as our own inner process continues to evolve.
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:45.119
The other thing I'd mention is that the tools themselves that are being used, and this is specifically in the context of the EHT and the energy healing tools that we're presenting and sharing.
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.559
And hundreds of people are now practiced with these tools, right?
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.880
They've been used, they've been tested, they've been embodied, lived with, shared with.
00:28:53.119 --> 00:29:04.799
And there's a concept, we might say, in biology and systems theory called morphogenetic fields, and the basic idea is that information becomes more available the more it is used, right?
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.640
So the learning doesn't just live in the individuals, but it lives in the summary field of all those holding it.
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:19.839
So you'll speak to this as well, I know, but we might say that when a tool is used, when it is practiced repeatedly, something really interesting starts to happen.
00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:25.519
It starts to interface much more easily from our perspective with the human energy field, right?
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:27.519
The access becomes smoother.
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:32.960
There's less effort required to enter the state in which the tool is desired to support.
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:39.519
Yeah, this is the work of Rupert Sheldrake and Morphic Fields, uh, or field memory, field resonance.
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:45.519
Uh, it really gives it a more of a scientific kind of box or nomenclature to work with.
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:52.480
And it's simply, like you said, that things that are introduced at the field level are remembered.
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:56.400
And so the familiarity or the memory makes things go deeper over time.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:17.599
Studies that have been done, for example, just as a really clear example, is that they'll expose rats to learning a maze in Australia, and the rats will run that maze for the first time in Australia, and then they introduce a group of rats over in North America to the same maze, and reliably and in a statistically significant way, the rats are able to run the maze much quicker.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:20.880
So there's something of a field memory that's taken on.
00:30:20.960 --> 00:30:26.720
And this applies to something like energy work, like we're doing, where there is a tool set in field dynamics.
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.480
There's a big menu given out.
00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:39.920
And as the years have passed and as we've used these tools over and over again, and as individuals have practiced with them and practiced on themselves and with clients over time, the memory, the field memory of these tools actually deepens.
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:48.640
They become more potent, both because of this memory effect, as mentioned, but also, as you also said, which is that our own systems have evolved over time.
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:51.680
And there's been quite the learning curve in the last six years.
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:58.319
I know that the first, you know, a couple of years of the EHT, it was quite different to hold a group field than it is now.
00:30:58.400 --> 00:31:15.839
Um, there were times when our own systems maybe were pushed or brought about certain challenges to be able to get over the hump of certain kinds of emotional processing, et cetera, both within what individuals were needing to have processed through the group or what it sympathetically would resonate within us, either or.
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:22.480
And as time has gone on, holding a group field has become increasingly simplified, uh, in a certain sense, easier.
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:29.759
And that's why there's also this greater potency, uh greater speed and coherency to the group fields when we're working with them now.
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:31.680
I love this perspective.
00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:36.960
Um, for me, we might say that, you know, field dynamics is a, it's really a living system, right?
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:40.880
It's not a static methodology, but it's very much a living system.
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:45.680
And it evolves as it is practiced, as we evolve, as we facilitate.
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:55.680
We're in this wonderful dynamic as facilitators with our attendees, where we have the honor and privilege of learning and experiencing, of course, alongside them.
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.119
So I hope you've enjoyed uh today's episode.
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:03.359
Primarily, what we've discussed is that healing doesn't happen in a vacuum, right?
00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:04.880
It happens within the field.
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.319
It's happening through resonance, not isolation.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:15.119
Um, and that many things that we offer at Field Dynamics are really rooted in this power of group field dynamics.
00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:22.240
When a group gathers with uh intention, something really extraordinary but subtle emerges.
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:33.279
Um, a field of coherence, of opportunity, where people can commit to healing, working with old patterns, and new possibilities come alive.
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:42.400
So we think of this not just as therapeutic support, but we might say energetic architecture, how real change actually takes shape.
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:50.400
I absolutely love working with group fields, and it seems like uh the feedback from community is the same.
00:32:50.640 --> 00:33:05.759
Maybe that's part of what is going on with the human learning experience, and that is that we can do only so much as individuals, but we're being asked to work within groups, to cooperate, to communicate, to be in communion with one another.
00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:14.799
And so maybe group fields avail themselves of this potency because it's where our attention often needs to get to, at least at a certain point.
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:29.440
So we've covered this kind of strata of individual to relational to groups, and it's a really diverse full set of understanding how we're interacting energetically within ourselves and all the way out to the collective.
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:35.119
Hopefully, this has informed everybody why group healing is so powerful and a bit about the dynamics that underlie them.
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:44.240
Once you understand how group fields work, you might stop asking why they're powerful and start asking how you can engage with them in a more conscious manner.
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:47.279
Thanks for taking the time to listen today.
00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:52.400
Um, I think that Keith would concur, this is a subject we could talk about for some length of time.
00:33:52.559 --> 00:34:02.880
Maybe it's a theme we'll return to uh for later episodes because it really does uh lie at the heart of our work, our offerings with Field Dynamics.
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:05.359
So we look forward to connecting with you again in the future.
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.440
Do please like, subscribe, leave a review on the podcast.
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:12.480
It really does help us to reach more people.
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:23.199
Uh, if you're interested in learning more about this or even having a one-to-one chat about how um the EHT program and group fields might best support your process, uh, do feel free to reach out.
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:24.880
We'd be delighted to have a chat.
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:33.039
As Keith shared, um, this is our great passion, and we look forward to the opportunity to connect with those who resonate with this work.
