Releasing

[Senin]

Ever since I discovered the Sedona Method and Avatar, I have been seeking a way to release (or integrate) negative emotions. By the way, those two methods do a poor job of it. I would like a way to be able to release on negative emotions or feelings at the moment. It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult but it actually is. I guess when someone gets worked up into a powerful state (even if it is negative), it's tough to handle it. Anybody have any luck in this area?

I'm unfamiliar with the Sedona Method and Avatar. How is it that they work and why do they not allow for the release of negative emotions?

They are used to release unwanted feelings.

The Sedona Method, in a nutshell, you feel the unwanted feeling. Then ask 3 questions: Could I let this go, would I let this go, when? There is a bit more but that is the condensed version.

Avatar is a week long program. First you learn to "feel it". Then you learn "label its". Then you do an exercise where you state an intention and feel any resistances. Then it comes down to the Creation Handling Procedure, which you use on everything. Basically, you feel a feeling, then label it without judgment, then make a statement that this feeling isn't you, its just a creation. Then the creation (feeling) is suppose to discreate.

Release on your attachment to your feelings. You should respect your feelings and allow them to be, and it's hard to let go of them after being identified with them for so long, but you have to realize that you truly CAN control your feelings and not hte other way around. Events or situations or things don't have emotions built into them, we attach certain meanings to those emotions based on our interpretation of the meaning of the situation or thing. Know someone who takes every small obstacle as a giant mountain? How about something you thinks a mountain is a mole hill and climbs it unabated no matter how many times he is setback? The difference is in the meaning of "failure" and its emotional reaction. For the first person, it might be that failure means they're worthless as a person, for the second, it might just be that they have another challenge to overcome and their ability to handle it or the fact that it is there in the first place is not an indication of their worth as human beings.

Basically, we've long identified with our emotions and have come to believe that we have no control of them as we have no control over the tides of the ocean, but we do. We create our emotions. They're like little programs that run automatically, but we can change the code to make them run differently.

What you are trying to achieve can most certainly be difficult since we are conditioned from a lifetime of regularly being attached to our experiences instead of releasing them. This article Let Go and Trust might give you some insights into releasing attachment.
