[9.52] Letting Go

• Letting go is the ability to stay with your emotions consciously and allow them to run their course.
• Most people when they view letting go, they view it as letting go of something outside of them.
• If you’re still attached to the thing outside of you then you haven’t let go yet.
• I help people to get in touch with these feelings.
• So, they can dissolve, and they’ll no longer be limited by them.

[12.47] How Letting Go Happen

• We all carry these charges within us, these emotions.
• When we’re young we’re not allowed to release these charges.
• You’re told to not get angry and upset, especially if you’re a man.
• Rather than releasing these feelings, we hold on to them.
• These feelings always want to rise up at some point and they’re going to come up.
• In the middle of the night, it was about one o’clock in the morning.
• I woke up and was in the middle of a nightmare.
• And an intense fear was coming up.
• I did anything to distract myself.
• But this time I decided to sit with this feeling.
• And watch my body, how it reacts to the fear.
• The feeling got more intense and at one point my heart was beating.
• Then I saw these images: what if I die from this?
• I thought, at that point I was tired of running away from fear because I’d been afraid all my life.
• I said now I’m going to face it and I did.
• For the next hour, I let wave after wave of fear come and go.
• As I sit with them consciously not resisting…
• These waves would come, and they’d dissolve.
• And after this hour, I started getting these memories back from when I was nine-year-old.
• And that all dissolved.

[19.29] SHIFT

• When we suppress an emotion, we use energy to push it down.
• When the emotion is suppressed the energy of the emotion isn’t available to us.
• An emotion constantly wants to spring up like a balloon.
• So, when we release it the energy of the emotion is given back.
• And we get two lots of energy back.
• When I went to work the next day, I had this huge amount of energy.

[26.00] How letting go help become good parent

• Life brings us situations and people that trigger us.
• And it’s a gift!
• And sometimes our children trigger us. Parents trigger us as well.
• When your children don’t do something that you asked.
• First question you need to ask yourself is what it triggers? Frustration? Anxiety?
• So, the very triggered emotion that comes up is the gateway to the solution of the problem.
• When the emotions arise – now they’re conscious.
• When they’re felt at completion again, they start to dissolve.
• Now all of a sudden, your vision about the situation becomes more and more clear.
• Because the emotion is obscuring your vision.
• If you’re stuck in the emotion charge, you’re not seeing the truth of the situation.
• You first must drop the blame.
• And now all of a sudden, you’ve new perspective.

• And what comes when confusion is released? Clarity.
• You might come up with the idea that behind the confusion is fear.
• And you need to dissolve it also.
• You sit with whatever feelings underneath it and let them run their course.
• When that happens, the intuition of where to go in your business is given to you!

• There’s always this gift, it defends that every cloud is a silver lining.
