Hi Chris,
“I’ve heard from my therapists (yeah, multiple. LOL) that “You just need to let these things go.” Only one tiny little problem with that. How? How do you let go of something you’ve held onto for so long, so tightly that you can’t even begin to understand HOW to let it go. “You just do it.” Whatever. In my case it really is like teaching a child how to tie their shoes by saying “You just tie them.”
This is exactly what I’m upto. To share something on the “how” part. If you look at my profile’s biographical intro and it talks about the same…
Comforting anyone with words do produce a healing effect, but I believe that doing a practical healing technique has greater effect than words like “just let it go, don’t worry, everything will be alright, just relax, quiet the mind”. The problem with this is simply saying to “let it go” won’t work in the long run. One must be guided “how to let it go”. The important part is the “how”. “How to let go”, “how to relax”, “how to quieten the mind”, “how to stop worrying and start living” and so on.
This is where various Life Healing Techniques come into play and are useful in having a greater and lasting effect, because they are something practical in nature.
I am going to share with you one such Healing Technique relevant to your situation. It’s called ‘The Release Technique’.
It’s neither a good idea to express any unwanted or negative emotions (because this becomes venting),
nor even to suppress them (because this bottles up),
but to release them.
I have learned the technique from this book after I read “Learn to “let go” of any negativity…in seconds!” on the cover
(https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Book-Lawrence-Crane/dp/0971175500)
Go through the book description on the above link starting from “This exciting book will help you:” and if you feel it resonates with you then you may give it a try. You may also want to go through the ‘About the Author’ section under Editorial reviews.
But if you do not have the time and/or patience and are fine to go with something paid for faster access then this is their official website (http://www.releasetechnique.com) where you will find more things about the technique like – live classes, events, programs, CDs, digital downloads, online courses, etc.
I did not take any of their programs but at the end of the book I purchased there was a coupon which allowed me to attend their LIVE Coaching class for FREE every Wednesday and this was undertaken by the author of the book – Lawrence Crane. I am sure this is still there but if you intend to then you can confirm with their customer care before buying the book.
From what you have described, its a good resource on the naughty knots like fear, shame, hatred, pain and guilt.
From my information there is also a similar tool called as ‘The Sedona Method’, although I am familiar with the technique, but since I haven’t practiced it much, I won’t be able to tell you more on it.
Before ending you may want to take a look at this review (http://mindtoolsreview.com/the-release-technique-review/). That’s all I can share on the letting go process.
If you ever happen to choose to do the Release Technique and are in case of any doubts then I will try my best to assist in whatever way I can.
Happy Releasing,
VJ
