Was that in reply to my post? If so, I appreciate the response. I heard and read about the Tribe, and Ed Seykota is quite an interesting character, but I'm not much of a joiner.

yes it was
It has to do with feeling your feelings, which are often trapped in physical things--places in your body. IMO it's really hard to do yourself completely. Also, there's a long discussion about how our attempt to avoid certain feelings leads to our recreating them. Actually that's sort of the whole point--to eliminate conflict stored in your body. It's an expensive book, but I recommend it anyway. You'll probably not here that stuff anywhere else, except maybe Tharp, Toghrahie who used to have Ed present at seminars. If he weren't so successful I never would have paid attention.
Still, though, $120 is a little steep. Why would he price his book so high? (Because he can? Because we'll value it more?) If he wanted to make his work accessible, you'd think he'd go a bit easier on the price, no?
But you have to work with a partner (sending and receiving) to optimize the outcome?
"In our culture, we develop judgements about our feelings. Parents say, "You shouldn't feel that way. " When we seem upset, friends and associates rush to our assistance to help us " get over" our discomfort. While conventional psychology and religion do provide some methods to express and release tension, they also advocate many other methods, mantras and prayers to ignore, suppress and overcome our feelings. Our society delivers message after message that feelings are bad." The Trading Tribe, Ed Seykota, P. 45.
According to Ed, yes. Or a group. I encourage you to look at the embedded belief in your statement of not being a joiner. I'm not judging, as a lot of us are independent types, myself included.
