Do Not Suppress, But Acknowledge And Let Go

Letting go is radically different from suppression, denial or displacement. Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to acknowledge whatever arises in out mind, even if it's negative and challanging emotions or memories. If we just deny and suppress them, they will never be resolved, but just get pushed into the unconscious part of our mind, and will later surface again. Only after we investigate them mindfully and understand them wisely as not-me, not-mine, not-self are we able to truly let go of them.
