Inspired by Robert, How to surrender”

[Guest guest]

How to?

 

This is the great question. We know that we " should " be forgiving, loving,

kind, balanced, aware/mindful, And that we should not be angry, bitter, jealous,

fearful etc. but how?

 

Religions, philosophers and therapists have been answering this question for a

very long time and still we struggle with it.

 

Ok here are some of my answers,

 

1

This one is called the, " Meta yes "

Find what it is that you want, ex; to forgive yourself.

Decide that you will do it. State to yourself in the strongest way possible

that you absolutely, 100% will do it no matter what.

 

Search for any part of you, any little feeling, that you may not want to or be

ready to do it. Discover why you feel that way Have a dialog/negotiation with

that part and find a way to be ready. Continue this process until you are

really ready to do it. If you do this and still do not have the emotional state

that you want just go back and keep on making that strong 100% absolute

commitment again and again and again until it happens. This can take some time

but it usually works.

 

2

E.F.T.

Emotional Freedom Technique

 

3

EmoTrance

 

4

N.L.P.

Neuro Linguistic Programming

 

5

Spontaneous movement

Find an open space where you can be alone. Bring the issue up in your mind.

Allow yourself to begin to rock, sway etc. back and forth or side to side etc.

Enter a meditative state and allow yourself to move any way you feel as you keep

the issue in your mind. Know that your inner wisdom (higherself, Ma shakti,

etc.) will move you physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically just the

way need to move to release and heal the issue. Be ready for anything,

laughing, crying, wild movement, stillness, anything! Keep this up until you

feel like stopping.

 

6

pray

 

This list is not complete but it is good. Most of the above will need to be

repeated many times until they work. Sometimes they work instantly but of ten

they don't

Here is an excerpt from an article I wrote that appeared in " The Empty Vessel, A

Journal of the Daoist Arts " , Fall 03

 

HOW TO PRACTICE SPONTANEOUS CHI GUNG

There are many ways to approach spontaneous Chi Gung. One very easy yet very

profound way to begin is to start doing a simple Chi Gung or Tai Chi movement

that you know, feel comfortable with and enjoy. Start doing this movement over

and over again very slowly and in a very relaxed meditative state. As you

repeat the movement notice if you feel like doing it differently. Pay attention

to any impulse to change the angle of your arms or hands, the position of your

feet or your head, notice even the slightest impulse to move or breath in a way

other that the classical way of doing the movement and, this is the important

part, follow the impulse, move the way you feel like moving. Keep focusing on

your second to second inner experience, your inner impulses, and follow them.

Let go of any expectation to move in any specific way. Just let it happen as it

does. Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this. You are learning to listen to

your inner self, the part of you that knows and you are starting to allow in

higher guidance. That which is the simplest can also be the most divine.

 

 

END OF THE EXCERPT

 

Now if you do the above with an intension in mind, such as, healing a body part,

clearing an emotion or cultivating and emotion then it becomes a form of

bodymind therapy

Dear Rich,

 

I suppose to try out the " Meta yes " .

 

I already tried EFT - but had not really success on the issues I worked on. I

learned EFT only from two books. Maybe there are some subtleties I missed. The

concept of EFT I find ingenious - such a simple method... Would be fine if it

works for me.

 

Regarding nr. 5: Oh yes... When I was in my early twenties I engaged in

shamanism and practiced sometimes a kind of that. I feel I should do this again.

:-)

And I love dancing, wild spontaneous dancing, too. I didn't that for a long

time. It's really a fine method to get calmer.

 

Blessings, Robert
