I’ve been really confused about this part but yes, I think this is where I have been lately….Letting go of the past attatchments and ideas…..we are taught to stay sooo attached to all these ideas, concepts and beliefs!

Thanks as alway! You are always a blessing!

Great, glad to hear that you’re finding a technique that works for you. It’s nice to have a few options in your spiritual toolbox and be able to select the appropriate tool for the job.

You’re bang on with the final question. Keep going deeper and deeper.

That seems to help somewhat – the visualisation thing. It keeps it simple – I can get into a lot of mind – f***** trying to work it out with the advantages/disadvantages etc….. but the tube thing seemed to help somewhat as I applied it reading your instruction.

I notice it release somewhat and then the feeling sort of shifts so I assume the way to go would be to continue to visualize the tube in whatever next feeling presents itself?

Yeah Annie, it’s just a choice to let it go or not. For some issues more than others, it takes a little more effort to really get to the root of the issue and get that light and liberating feeling of freedom.

For really stuck issues, it can be helpful to approach the issue from a number of angles. For example you can release on the advantages of having the issue, the disadvantages of having the issue, the advantages of not having the issue, the disadvantages of not having the issue, the desire to experience this issue, the desire to get rid of the issue, noticing if the issue is tied to a sense of approval, control, or security, and so on.

The main thing is not trying to “get rid of the issue,” but rather welcoming it and allowing it to be here totally, to become totally okay with its presence, and then to allow it to let go naturally.

Do you know how they drill for oil? They insert a long tube down into the ground and when they hit oil, the tremendous underground pressure causes the oil to automatically come shooting out of the ground. You’ve probably seen the movies where people shout, “We’ve stuck oil!” as oil goes shooting everywhere.

Another technique you can use is closing your eyes and feeling your body. Where does the issue feel like it is in your body? Chances are it’ll be somewhere in the stomach or chest area. Imagine a tube going into your stomach or chest area. The pressure and tension inside of you will automatically cause the issue to shoot out the tube, with zero effort on your part. Just feel the pressure in your body, visualize this tube, and allow the resistance to release naturally.

Apply these techniques and really get into them. See if that helps for ya.

Hey Ariel – I have a lot of repressed energy which I have attempted to use the Sedona Method with – allowing the resistance to be there – letting myself hang onto it etccc…

the thing is I’ve never really got the hang of it because it always seems like this “doer” comes in – this “you” that “trys” to let the resistance be there or trys to let go and nothing much happens.

Any pointers with this?

cheers

Yeah, it’s not so much a “problem” as it is repressed energy rising up to the surface to be flushed out. It’s like cleaning the emotional pipes within.

Sadness can be so beautiful. Good luck with your soul-searhing

Hawkins says, “At 500+, that which is non-loving arises to be surrendered.” It seems once we’re free of the personality, big repressed clumps of darkness come up until they’re gone. I have a feeling this is what Steph’s going through, like a very advanced level of “I accept myself fully as I am.” I really look forward to hearing about your experiences integrating and healing your darkness! Stuart Wilde says, in The Art of Redemption, that your inner darkness is really your friend, that as long as it’s repressed you can’t use its power, or shield yourself from other darkness as you navigate your way to total freedom. This should be fun!
