Wow… today I stumbled upon so many issues that stirred up a lot of emotional pain.  One after another, it’s like I’m being slapped around by my emotions.  Without going into a lot of details, I’m basically stressed about my ‘problem’ students that I teach, the lack of good teaching materials, the fact that someone insulted my ‘inferior’ Korean, looming money issues, and even random feelings of loneliness.  Not exactly my best day.

It’s strange because it seems the more I release emotional issues, the more I come across other problems (which is actually a good sign, but not exactly fun).  Fortunately, things are changing for the better.  I now have a wonderful release partner who did some incredible work with me recently, so things are shifting.  I am a lot more resilient and focused.  My releasing seems to be better as well, and I even sleep less, which was totally unexpected.

Having built up such momentum, I’ve decided to take my releasing to a higher level.  I am sick of playing the ‘victim’, and all the recent emotional instability has given me more than enough reasons to let go of my issues.  I am determined to go free!

What if negative experiences facilitate an opportunity to positively change?

It’s so easy to look at what’s going wrong in our lives and act as if we are helpless victims, but what if all the terrible things that happen to us are actually agents of inner transformation (as if these unfortunate circumstances are facilitating change)?

This is certainly a very different interpretation of things, but I find that rather than letting circumstances us delude us into being ‘stuck’, it is so much easier to be free by letting go of any wanting feelings attached to the circumstances (like wanting control or approval).  Of course, changing the past simply isn’t possible anyway.

The key is to ‘let go and let God’ as they say, much like the way the Psalmist once said, “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want”.  Wanting things is often the problem.  Let go of the want, and life suddenly becomes much easier because it allows us to realize what we truly have.  I know this is easier said than done, but in my experience, this is quite real.

It is what helped me to get over the heartbreak from a breakup in such a short period of time.  If you are struggling to control a specific situation to your liking, here’s a simple question you can use to begin changing:

“Could I let go of wanting to control this situation?”

Ask it over and over, and be sure to say ‘yes’ each time. 

This has worked wonders for me :)

Belief in God changes brains

Here’s a very fascinating presentation by a neuroscientist:

Recognizing my progress

Earlier today, I spent some time reflecting on what has changed in the past 6 months.  I am quite amazed with the changes in attitude that I now have.  For quite some time, I’ve been releasing on a lot of junk but I wasn’t able to really see how much my life had changed.

But now I see a marked difference:  My whole attitude towards life is significantly more positive.  I used to very doubtful about myself and on my skills, but now I see that I naturally have a lot more confidence.

The key for me was merely about shifting focus.  Rather than focusing on what I don’t want, it’s far more rewarding to focus on what I do want. 

This isn’t about positive thinking.

I still believe that if a person attempts to achieve a goal without clearing emotional clutter,  he or she will likely fail.  However, I often took it to the other extreme by ONLY looking for clutter and clearing it out (which did work), but since I was only focused on negativity, that’s all I kept my attention to.

Now, I use the Release Technique and other methods in a much healthier manner:

1)  Focus on what you want
2)  Feel what it feels like to have the desired outcome here and now
3)  From this positive state, be aware of any resistance to having the goal
4)  Again from this positive state, let go of the resistance (using NLP, EFT or whatever)

As simple as this may sound, it’s remarkably more powerful than just using any of the above methods.  The reason being that if you are in a much more positive state to begin with, and look at the negativity from that context, the negativity is much easier to remove than when you feel ‘stuck’ in it. 

Having used this particular approach for some time now, I feel a LOT more positive overall!

Here’s a video of what a scientist reveals with regards to my favorite method of releasing:

The most fascinating part for me is at 1:27 to 1:42 of the video as it has interesting implications.  :)

So how does one release?  You can go to this page to listen to guided demonstrations of the technique.

Just a moment ago, I helped a friend clear a LOT of negativity with a relationship issue, and this simple technique has done wonders in a very short period of time.  All the emotional clutter he had is now gone.  Earlier, another friend had a problem with coworkers, yet by simply asking her, “Could you say ‘yes’ to the problem?” she rapidly cleared the stress.  Now, work seems a lot easier.  She even told me that she genuinely loves her coworkers, whereas she had previously hated them.

This stuff never ceases to surprise me :)
