David Hawkins letting go technique explained.

[dreamsofturtles]

Im 63 years old & few men of my generation talk about proper way to deal with feelings. I believe this results in alot of alcoholism. So great to see young men doing this. It really gives me hope for the human race if they learn to process feelings instead of repress them (and have them come out in worse ways)

[brettdavidson]

Well done young man. It took me to 54 years old in Prison to figure this out. I am so grateful to those teaching. Dr. Hawkins changed my life. I am glad you are helping others change theirs.

Clear, simple, humble, precise, profound and honest. The best 4 minutes ever spent on youtube.

During my kundalini flow I started to realize that I don’t have to sit in the emotion of the feeling meaning the key is to keep the mind in the present moment. Even focused on a candle. Let the feeling arise but know that you are not the emotion that is what your mind tells you. If you don’t listen to the mind stay present and stay in the vibration of the feeling you can essentially burn it out. Stay present don’t get swept away by the thoughts but stay in the feeling that’s arising in the body. If you stay present you burn out the ego personality. Try it get good at it and you’re getting closer to your soul or zero point. Good luck everyone.

I REALLY REALLY appreciate your clarification on this. It’s so crazy that something so simple could seem so hard. Dr. Hawkins also said that when we do this properly, the resulting experience should feel like finding your car after forgetting where it was in a large parking garage. A sudden feeling of lightness.

"Letting go means when the emotion is there, you're not resisting it" This really changed my perspective about letting go! Thank you so much :)

[RiverGem]

BRILLIANT! "Letting go" actually means "not resisting." Full stop. Not resisting is so much easier to understand and to do! Rather than struggling to force the emotion to let go of me, what I should have been doing all along is "not resisting" -- actually the opposite of trying to force myself to let go. Thank you!

Thank you so much for explaining it!
I read the book few months ago as I was dealing with a lot of existential thoughts and existential anxiety. And somehow the technique mentioned in the book worked for me. And I can proudly say that When I let go of certain thought it doesn't come back at all! So you can definitely try this technique if you're dealing with negative thoughts or emotions.

Here's what I do:
I Focus on the emotions not thoughts.
As soon as I caught myself having an absurd thought I talk with myself.
Like-
Recognize the thought, Recognize the feeling of the thought.
Allow the thought, allow whatever the feelings it brings.
Surrender to the thoughts and the feeling. You can't control it.
Let go of the thought and the feeling.

By doing this I completely Surrender to the negative emotions and let them go. I hope it helps.

Brad Yates “willing to let go”, “I can’t let it go” “emotions manifesting as pain”, “loving your inner child”. Brad Yates is a brilliant and generous EFT Emotional freedom technique practitioner with over five hundred free videos to tap along with. I can’t cry in public or alone but with his videos, his loving and skilled presence is “with you” but not in the room with you. Yawning when you do it is letting go and anger, tears etc., more obviously letting go. continue until you are calm. Brad Yates “desperate” for big emergencies. This is so effective and when you get the hang of it is something you can take everywhere with you, I even did it in the supermarket when I was buying too much “comfort food”!! It worked. Unfortunately although I have done EFT for years I still avoid it until the emotional or physical pain becomes unbearable, it’s crazy. I think he has one on resisting change!! Namaste 🙏

I actually had to do this last night. I felt a truck load of anxiety come up out of nowhere which caught me off guard. The old me would have resisted and distracted myself by using something to make me feel better....only for the moment. The "new" me decided to meditate on it, but brain was spinning too much, even at an hour and 1/2. Next go to is writing. Once I picked up my journal and pen it all fell out of me. For some reason I'm able to write out feelings that I can't get out, or process, just by thinking my way through. I find once I write about the emotion, put a spotlight on it, it dissipates. I slept like a baby last night and feel light today. It works! Maybe a suggestion for some? Good luck!

Great! Another aspect is to also release the judgement about the thought about the situation that evokes the feeling. Resistance comes from judging something as good or bad whereas acceptance and inclusion dissolves it.

One of my favourite authors ❤️ Relax into the groundlessness and discomfort, witness it, acknowledge it, let it run its course and then let it go.

When I was young, I came up with a similar approach to cold. It was the tension that made me “feel” cold and caused more negative cold effects in my body. Relaxing and letting the cold in and to go through me actually made me much more comfortable in -23 degree F northern Wisconsin winter. This also works for having my teeth drilled in the dentist chair w/o numbing my mouth.

[snoozyq]

It's taken me an incredibly long time to wrap my head around this too. Sometimes I find myself successfully doing it and it's made such a difference in my life 😊

[ramkij]

One more thing - I've read so many books on letting go and I would dare say even Hawkins hasn't explained it this elegantly and clearly. What hundreds of books and videos couldn't do, you summarized it in 4 min! Amazing ! Thanks!

[jakezr]

Straightforward, simple, and to the point. You have saved me an insane amount of time trying to wrap my head around a simple concept in just 4 minutes, so thanks a lot man!

[adriennewarg]

Thank you for this! I’ve read about letting go from many authors and spiritual teachers and I’d always get super frustrated because none of them would really explain how! You’ve explained it beautifully & concisely. Very helpful!

[MikhaelMiklewicz]

Thank you for these beneficial instructions! This surely works and it is worth mentioning that it is very similar to an ancient meditative technique - Vipassana - developed by a guy called Gautama Buddha. I feel that it is important to clarify some vocabulary. Feeling and emotions by themselves are difficult to anchor attention on as most of us are untrained and can easily get carried away with thoughts that habitually will match those feelings. What you called feeling in the body in Vipassana - for clarity - is being called bodily sensations and it is an exact object of meditators attention. Practicing this technique some 10 years now I need to say that it is the single most effective transformational tool I know. There are courses being held worldwide and I strongly recommend attending a 10 day one. They function on a donation basis making it the purest, genuine gift I´ve ever received! May all beings be happy!

Thanks David. I like the way you explained this. This is really useful for people under high stress, in toxic relationships or that suffer from anxiety.
It takes time to train your brain, but when you notice the episodes, and realize what they are, you can then separate them from your physical body and begin to relax those parts of the body where the tension is while letting the emotion slowly dissolve. Really cool

Ps. I noticed your very kind and loving eyes, with a clarity behind them that speaks of the soul talking through them :)
