The Releasing Technique I

1. Think of something right now that you know is a concern for you. It might
be a situation at work, or a particular person you dislike, or just some general
worry that you have. Think of that thing, and notice the resistance that builds
up in your stomach or in any part of you body. Place your hand gently on the
spot.
2. Ask yourself: “Could I let this go of this emotion?”
(Yes/No - answer outloud, honestly)
3. Move on to ask: “Would I let this go of this emotion?”
(again, Yes/No/ answer outloud honestly)
4. And then: When would I let go of this emotion?
(Now/later - answer outloud, honestly)
5. Feel that release – then check to see how the situation feels. If there’s still
some emotional charge, go back to step one and loop again: you’ll find some
issues are layered like onions, and are released over multiple passes. Or if
you feel stuck in the actual process itself, let go of “wanting to feel stuck,”
and start again – or rest for a while.
* A release feels like recieving good news from the doctor, the bank or from
your best friend.

Example:
1. Ask yourself: “Could I let go of wanting to feel stuck with this particualr
emotion?”
(Yes/No - answer outloud, honestly)
2. Move on to ask: “Would I let go of wanting to feel stuck with this
particualr emotion?”
(again, Yes/No/ answer outloud honestly)
3. And then: When would I let go of wanting to feel stuck with this particular
emotion?
(Now/later - answer outloud, honestly)

The Releasing Technique II

(Subconscious fears from the Past)

1. Think of something from the Past that you know is a concern for you. It
might have been a situation at work, or a particular person you disliked, or
just some general worry that you have. Think of that thing, and notice the
resistance that builds up in your stomach or in any part of you body. Place
your hand gently on the spot.

Example: You were afraid of heights as a child.

2. Ask yourself: “Could I let go of all my subconscious fears to allow me to
enjoy heights?”
(Yes/No - answer outloud, honestly)
3. Move on to ask: “Would I let go of all my subconscious fears to allow me
to enjoy heights?”
(Yes/No - answer outloud, honestly)
4. And then: "When would I let go of all my subconscious fears to allow me
to enjoy heights?”
(Now/later - answer outloud, honestly)

5. Feel that release – then check to see how the situation feels. If there’s still
some emotional charge, go back to step one and loop again: you’ll find some
issues are layered like onions, and are released over multiple passes. Or if
you feel stuck in the actual process itself, let go of “wanting to feel stuck,”
and start again – or rest for a while.
Always remember,

You are not your emotions.

That’s right. You are not your emotions. And your emotions are not
you.
Emotions are just things that you experience.
Rather than “I am angry,” a more accurate description might be “I
am experiencing anger.”
And rather than “I am courageous,” a more precise version may be
“I am feeling courageous.”
So, emotions are just things you experience. Sometimes they feel
good, sometimes they run riot. And you can switch them off as
easily as you’d switch off a plug socket.
