So I don't know how many guys on here practice the sedona method whether currently or in the past, but I've found that "letting go" sometimes had the opposite effect on me. Sometimes I thought I let go of emotions when in reality I buried or suppressed them. I've found nothing more powerful than accepting emotions and letting them be. I've had all sorts of painful emotions pop up today, but I've been accepting them and acknowledging them instead of turning away. After an intense session of doing this I gained clarity in what it means to let go and wrote it down. Forgive the format, for some reason that is how I type when I have a breakthrough and jot it down in notepad on my computer.
What does letting go mean? Is it really letting go? No,
there is no conscious letting go, you can't force letting
go, or do it. Letting go is letting go, surrendering,
realizing that the only struggle and problems you have
is only your resistance to them and supressing them. By
letting go you allow, become friends with the emotions
inside you, become one with them. Then they will be let
go of, but not by your conscious will. So long as you want
to let go, they will not be let go, only when you accept
these emotions, experiences, thoughts, will you be free to
be an observer and realize that allowing them to flow
through you is a process that is easy enough. Again, any
notion of "letting go" in the mechanical conscious sense
of effort is wrong, it is merely suppression or ignoring the
emotions which is not letting go, it is denial. You can't
let emotions go that fast, you must experience them first and
become one with them, then you will understand why you don't
need to hold onto them.
So long as you have disdain or an aversion to those emotions
they will always have control over you. Acceptance is not
a technique, you have to fully accept these emotions and
understand that they do not control you, you merely observe
them.
I believe these subliminals bring up a lot of emotions and in the past I used to do work or watch tv to avoid them. The problem was that once I was alone I was forced to confront them and even then I did not accept them. The result of repressing emotions is very unpleasant, I have dealt with depersonalization quite a few times because of it.
If you feel like you are in a haze or out of it, like that feeling when you are sick and everything is fuzzy or unclear, you might be repressing emotions. This has been my experience. When you start accepting the emotions it will be painful, but you also feel like the world becomes more vivid.
