Letting Go Technique: Process Energy Instead Of "Emotions"

In this guided track based on The Letting Go Technique from David Hawkins (which is not a substitute for professional help), you'll be guided directly to process the energy of your emotions. Instead of intellectualizing them, you'll have the opportunity to experience them in their raw energetic form, creating a container to feel connected to them but also fully see the wave of energy through to its transformation. This way of going about the technique can be especially useful when you don't know what you're feeling, or when you're feeling too many things at once to hone in on, and simply want to shift into a lighter, clearer state.

Use frequently for the most profound results.

Hey,

It's Cyrus.

Welcome to this letting go technique session for processing your emotions when you don't know what you're feeling or when you're feeling multiple things at once.

Today we're going to focus on letting up and releasing the energy behind your emotions instead of getting overly concerned with the emotions themselves.

This can often be a much more efficient process than over-intellectualizing what you're feeling because at the end of the day your emotions are comprised of energy,

And if you can fuel that energy,

Allow it to pass through you and release it,

Or at least allow a good chunk of it to dissolve,

You will tend to ascend into a lighter,

Freer,

Or at least more peaceful and relaxed state.

This is not a substitute for professional help,

So if you need it,

Seek it,

And be sure to use this track only on emotions and energies that you feel ready and safe to deal with.

With that said,

Go ahead and find a comfortable position,

Sitting upright or lying down,

And close your eyes.

Remember if at any point you need to ground yourself in your environment,

You can open your eyes and rest them on a spot in front of you.

Start off by taking a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose.

Fill up your entire body with the breath.

And slowly release it out through the mouth.

But this time do a breath hold.

Take a deep,

Slow breath in through the nose and hold the breath.

Feel your body as you hold the breath.

And slowly release it out through the mouth now.

I invite you to do one final breath hold,

But hold it a little bit longer,

Breathing deeply in through the nose,

Holding the breath at the top,

Putting your full attention on the energy in your body as you hold your breath for a moment.

And slowly letting the air out of the balloon as you exhale out through the mouth and allow your muscles to soften and relax.

Take a moment now to set an intention for this session.

It could be something like I choose to feel my emotions instead of thinking about them.

Or it could be I give myself this space and time to start to accept how I'm feeling,

Or anything else that resonates with you.

But take a moment now to formulate your intention and repeat it twice in the present tense and feel the energy of that now.

And now that you set that intention,

If you feel ready and safe to do so,

Begin to let up any emotional energy that you've been feeling that you wish to feel and process.

Don't spend your mental energy holding it down.

Give yourself this space of safety to actually let it up so that it can be felt.

If you notice any resistance to it arising or part of you that's trying to keep it pushed down,

As long as it feels safe to let it up,

Just observe that sensation and layer of resistance for a moment without judgment.

And begin to let that melt away so that the feeling that's already there within you can start to arise to the surface of the body and be felt now.

Even though it might be uncomfortable,

Just allow the sensations to be sensations,

Not judging them as good or bad,

And notice where they are in the body.

Notice what those sensations feel like if you described them in simple terms.

For example,

Heat,

Tightness,

Tingling,

Heaviness,

Or any other simple sensations that you notice.

Just notice.

And take a moment to acknowledge the emotional energy as it is.

In this session,

We're intentionally not going to worry about labeling the emotion.

We're just going to take a moment to say to ourselves now,

Yes,

These emotions and feelings are present.

Just acknowledging that now without judgment.

And now that you've acknowledged that,

Begin to let go of and ignore any thoughts or stories or mental activity about the energy,

And just focus on the energy of the emotion in the body.

Feel how it is a raw,

Electric,

Alive sensation and energy,

And start to pour your mental spotlight into that energy with your full attention.

Notice that energy doing whatever it does,

Whether it's expanding or contracting,

Dancing,

Or staying totally static,

And just allow it to be and do whatever it does as you observe it directly now.

Notice how as you first observe it,

It might have a more solid feeling quality,

Or it might be like a very tangible wave of energy,

Something that you can sense,

Almost touch and feel the outline and shape of,

And keep your attention on it,

Continuing to release resistance to however it wants to flow as you watch the energy.

When thoughts come up,

Let them go and plunge the attention deeper into the body of energy within the body.

Almost like you're becoming one with its flow,

And if it feels safe,

Let go of control and simply allow that flow of energy to guide your attention wherever it goes.

See if you can keep observing the subtle expansions and contractions of the energy without interfering with it at all,

Simply witnessing,

Watching its flow.

Take a gentle,

Slow,

Deep breath into the energy and imagine a sense of space opening up around the energy.

And notice how you're observing this flow of energy in this greater container of space that you've opened up,

Just notice that.

Let go of any remaining thought activity and start to totally become one with the energy itself,

Letting go of subtle expectations,

Subtle desires to change or shift the energy,

And take a few moments now to just watch its spontaneous movement however it flows,

Completely okay if it stays and completely okay if it goes.

And as you start to hone in on and immerse yourself in the subtle vibrations and atomic particles of that energy,

You might start to notice it turning from a solid into a gas or a vapor-like quality,

And simply allow that energy to become lighter and more spacious with the breath as you observe it now,

Welcoming that subtle transformation of the energy.

And now imagine the remaining vapor of the energy being returned into the greater space around you,

Not thinking about this,

But just breathing,

Imagining,

And feeling it being released into a greater container that can hold all that energy for you.

Breathing gently and effortlessly and allowing yourself to open,

Allowing it to siphon and evaporate and dissolve out of you to whatever extent that it naturally does.

And in the space that you've opened up in your body and energy field,

Welcome in a sense of lightness,

Peace,

Relaxation,

And flow.

Don't think about this,

But just imagine and feel these energies surrounding you,

And imagine yourself breathing them in with every single breath in limitless quantities,

Not blocking their flow,

But just allowing them to subtly amplify with reckless abandon with every breath as it flows through you.

Allow these energies to wash through you like a wave and completely transform your energy field,

And even if the old energy isn't gone completely,

Just imagine these lighter energies balancing and harmonizing with whatever energy is present.

And if you feel so inclined,

You might check in with whatever was bothering you at the start of the session,

And you might notice any shift in your perspective or mind space regarding this,

As the energy itself is often the thing driving our thoughts or our perspective,

So embrace any shift that you notice mindfully now.

And I invite you to practice this session almost like training wheels until you get the hang of feeling the energy behind the emotions on a more direct level,

Allowing it to flow through you until it vaporizes and releases at least somewhat,

So that you can embrace the increasingly lighter and lighter states of the core of your being as you practice,

And get more and more confident and competent with this technique until you can do it effortlessly,

By yourself,

Anywhere,

Anytime,

And experience the incredible benefits that this natural and intuitive technique can create for you.

Thank you for taking this time for yourself today,

And I hope you have an amazing day.

🙏🙏🙏Very helpful! Thank you! This meditation was what I needed today to help give me some space 🙏🙏🙏

This was my first time correcting this meditation and I look forward to practicing and listening to it again.

Bawled my eyes out first time
This time, felt a huge stuck collection of pressure at the back of my head near the top of my neck; halved the pressure
Wonderful practice, will add it to my nightly routine

I have super-sized emotions. This helped with a particularly difficult one when I was getting swept up & tumbled about in it. Clears the way to address core issue around it with a clear head. This will be a regular one to practice. Thank you

Very interesting technique, started it being fully overwhelmed with my feelings, I felt lighter and ready to go on with my day at the end, thank you! ☀️

I came back to this one again today to help manage some strong emotions that creep in in daily life. Just the usual stuff, but which can become a source of distraction and drain on bandwidth. Now they are dissipated by about 80%! Very beneficial use of just 10 mins of my time!

Very helpful guide for processing difficult emotional states. As a psychologist, I will use it with my patients and clients.

First time doing this and I struggled to connect with the energy of my emotions but I do feel lighter now. Going to repeat and see how I go with the practice.

Cool! I will repeat this meditation. Thank you for the support!

this technique is a fast track to internal relief from the warring of the mind.

I highly recommend this for people who don’t do well with being mistreated and/or disrespected, especially for those who have difficulty detaching from what was said or done to them.

this meditation is a reminder to take none of it personally, because those experiences aren’t not stuck to *you*, they’re stuck to *your mind*, and there’s a difference (when you allow yourself to see it that way).

grateful for this practice.

Thank you for helping me direct and accept this energy. 🙏🏽✨🌊

Very good. I regret some of my food choices today , and this was felt in my upper body. I was able to release this emotion. I later felt pleased with myself and this was felt in my hands and face but I was careful to stay non judgemental.

Wow! I loved this visualisation. I felt the energy change in colour, texture and movement as the meditation progressed. I felt much lighter and more movement at the end. I will definitely be practicing and using this technique in the future. Thank you 🙏

Love this method of observing/allowing the energy of emotions & feelings rather than following & getting caught up in thoughts. Thank u. 💥

I really liked this approach & found it really helpful for the gamut of emotions and energies I’m feeling at the moment. It helped to start releasing some of them, thank you 🙏🏻
