Release Stressful Emotions and Become Clear
Emotions - to Avoid or to Heal
The following is a subtle yet potent technique that you can use whenever you would like to shift your emotional state, to change negative thoughts patterns, let go of stressful feelings and return to more joyful and empowered states.
It can in fact be easier for us to let so of painful feelings and even extreme fears, when we acknowledge these feelings have been serving a purpose, often to protect us and it is safe for us to now let them go.. These feelings will often relate to times when we were hurt or felt resentful but didn't know how to process the hurt. Instead we took on limited ways of thinking, that only kept the hurt feelings in place.
These experiences do not need to continue to limit you in any way. Use the process below to let go of the fearful and hurt feelings and release your life force energy to move forward again.
The following process involves fully welcoming uncomfortable feelings that are in the background of our experience, feeling them completely and then letting them go:
Step 1 - Become aware of and interrupt the fearful pattern of thinking, as well as recognise and acknowledge the underlying feelings , the fear and anxiety that are just below your conscious awareness.
It can help to Ask yourself - What feelings am I trying to avoid right now? (this could be anger, grief, sadness, hurt, guilt, fear or other painful feeling) to take you deeper in to the process., Check in and allow these feelings to be present, no matter how uncomfortable they may be
Step 2 - Invite the emotion, for eg sadness or anger to make itself more fully felt. Simply welcome the emotion no matter how unpleasant. Lead from your Heart space maybe by putting your hand on your heart, rather than your head and feel how you feel in your body as you go through this welcoming process..
Step 3 - Welcome any sense of wanting to change, fix, get rid of or hold on to the problem. Of not wanting to feel the discomfort. Finally welcome any sense that the feelings and beliefs associated with the problem as being who you are, as being your identity, even as you continue to feel the feelings
Step 4 - When you are fully associated with the feelings as pure emotional energy (rather than story or reality) - Ask yourself could you let the feelings go? Would you let these go? And when? It doesn't matter whether your answers are in the affirmative or it feels you are not ready to let go, as long as you ask sincerely. Take a deep breath, feel your energy expanding and notice how the energy has shifted.
Even if you sense it difficult to let go, and you answer no, I cannot let this go, simply going through this process will help you shift to a clearer state. When we are truly feeling our feelings and become aware of our identification with the limiting thought patterns and story line, we can choose to drop the latter and move back in to a natural flow of feelings as a process. Be as compassionate and patient with yourself as you go through the process as you can. It is often helpful to repeat the process a few times and to come back to it when you need to.
From this clear state you can invite and connect to your true inspiration and guidance. You also gain clarity about what you truly want. You allow yourself to desire and expect more, while being present, balanced and at peace with where you are.
