I was watching my little nephew at play today. At one point he was standing on the edge of the sofa and he slipped. I tried to catch him but got there a little too late. I think I was more shocked at the loud thud he’s head made as it hit the floor than he was, fortunately the floor is decently carpeted so it was loud but not painful or too painful. I picked him up and held him very closely for a few seconds without saying a word as he cried. I was about to say something but resisted the attempt to provide any kind of comfort to him. I just held him really close as he cried. After about 10 or maybe 15 seconds I felt him sigh very deeply, the tears disappeared and he started to smile.
It was then that I realize how easily kids can let go of things. Then I realized that as a kid I probably did the very same thing. So what happened to that natural gift or power I had to just let it go when I needed to? I’ll tell you what I think happened. Friends and Family happened… don’t get me wrong I love my folks and well most of my family “smiling”. But boy can they do a number on a little kid, for example say you’re playing with the kids next door and one of them destroys one of your toys. If Mom’s close by she’ll probably tell you in all sensibility that little Jimmy probably made a mistake and that you shouldn’t be too upset about it.
At that point even as a kid your probably pretty upset but you’re being told to simply suppress the emotion you feel about the destruction of your toy. Mom’s upset too but she doesn’t want to cause a problem with little Jimmy’s parents because its important to be neighbourly. And who gets to suffer? You do because you’ve got to live with a broken toy and the suppressed emotion and lets not forget Mom’s suppressed emotions so she can be a good neighbor. Mom remains as neighbourly as ever and all is well it seems. Now lets repeat this situation a few hundred times or so and you’ll grow up understanding what it means to supress your emotions.
What I’ve learned from the Release Technique is that we deal with our emotions if 3 very specific ways.
1. We suppress. This is probably the most destructive way of dealing with these emotions. You are pushing the feelings down hard. Ever seen a pressure cooker explode? If not imagine how much steam it takes to cause the explosion. That is exactly what happens when we suppress emotions they eventually build up so much repression that you explode in anger or frustration.
2. We express. I mean literally express them immediately. Joe steps in front of you at the grocer and you attack him, ready to beat his head in with a stick if you have to.
3. We escape. This one’s pretty destructive also. You either watch too much TV, listen to too much music, spend too much time on the internet chatting, drink too much, take drugs and a host of other destructive actions to deal with your emotions.
Now the 4th way… its not new, you just forgot how. Like my little nephew you too have this natural ability to release and let it go. Using the 4th way is more productive, you’ll experience a deeper sense of peace and more love to your fellow man. Abundance will naturally show up in your life. This is truly the secret to the secret. I’ve seen my clients turn their lives around and experience greater joy, peace and love. Some have gone on to make very good money and a few are thousandaires working to towards being millionaires from being broke.
