The Release Technique: Exploring what Emotions really mean

Releasing has only gotten easier and easier. It’s like a muscle, the more you exercise it, the easier it is to use. Throughout the day I notice little things. Maybe I’m disapproving of what someone is saying, maybe I want to change something that I can’t. I’ll ask myself any 4 questions that apply from the Sedona Method/Release Technique.

1. Could I let go of disapproving of myself?

2. Could I let go of wanting control?

3. Could I let go of wanting acceptance?

4. Could I let go of wanting security?

I get the feeling our external world is only a projection of our internal world. I’ve released on situations before only to have them completely disappear from my life.

When releasing it helps to let go of the notions of right/wrong and good/bad. Everything is just energy, just let it flow through your body. The questions are only there for probing, to bring to the surface whatever my emotions are. They’re there to remind me I have a choice, I can let go of it.

Confession: I’ve always wanted to be a cool kid — someone people respect and admire.

Take the situation and translate it through the sense of wanting control, acceptance, or security. It may be several. In this case, it was wanting acceptance. When there is a want, I can feel a pang in my body — a lacking feeling. Let go of the lack — just let go of it.

In a year’s time I’ve made a lot of progress — my confidence has boosted, money just flows to me out of nowhere, and I feel more peaceful within myself. Interacting with others is less strenuous. My ‘goal’ – to feel joy and happiness all of the time. To accept everyone as is because in the end, there is no real barrier between us. If I’m judging someone I’m really just judging a part of myself. Sometimes I still want to hate, to bear a grudge. In the end though, it’s drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Releasing and going through all of this alone is sometimes a lonely thing. The experiences are yours alone and not many others can relate. So, it’s very nice to find people online who do the same thing and have similar experiences. I can see “ah, so that’s happened to them too!” Their real life gains are also to be commended — what? progress? Awesome, I see what I could do.

We’re bombarded by the media of what the concepts of love and happiness are. The kind of love they promote is a selfish love, on that’s really rooted in wanting. Imagine how happy people would be if they could just love everyone. If we could just let go of being so perturbed by outside things. We’d all be happy, healthy, and wealthy.
