Of course, someone else might never know what works for you as your own emotional guidance system might, so if any advice doesn't resonate I would do what feels best to you in the situation. You said how can I get emotional release. How I like to handle these things is by thinking and doing things that feel good to you, not what you think you might need to do. You can use your thoughts to release resistance, which is a method that resonates a lot with me and just posted about it: If that sort of thing resonates with you, you might like Abraham Hicks' method of releasing resistance with your thought (see e.g. Astonishing power of emotions - Abraham Hicks with lots of examples on how to do this). If I were in your situation I might do that, thinking thoughts that make you feel better, which will not only release resistance but also focus your mind away from negative thinking. Next do that I would probably just choose whatever feels best to do, maybe taking a walk etc. It seems to me that it is actually really easy to get out of a wacky feeling situation, just direct your thought and action towards what feels better/good. Relax, let go and be gentle with yourself.

@Nahm Ha, not surprised you like it:D Thank you, and also thank you for that juicy thought 'I am already free', I might remind myself more of that and dwell in it Yes, boy it is and for me too. A big part of my recent years have been about learning how to deal, or frankly how I've started seeing it more and more to NOT deal, with the mind. Today I was thinking some thoughts that felt good, and a negative thought came up like 'no you can't do that, that's irresponsible' I knew that arguing with thoughts didn't work, but was still had the thought that I needed to have some sort of response to it, until a thought came that even that may not be necessary, just completely ignore all negative thought, don't even listen to them. Then felt the inspiration to share this post.

Internally works too for at least most of them as far as I'm aware. I think what you're really asking it to release negative thoughts concerning self-image. There are many mantra's, and I've done a lot of them from Sri Kaleshwar, but those are rather long. So if you have a mantra that makes you feel for example blissful (for example 'ram'), that should help in the long run. Isha center also has some good ones, for example the Brahmananda Swaroopa one (google it) I really liked. They have an app with initiated mantras on them. On Youtube also some ones I liked, such as the green tara mantra or just look for people such as Snatam Kaur and Ajeet Kaur on Youtube

very much in synchronicity with something I wrote yesterday to someone. Good stuff, thank you

Just saw this message of Matt Kahn on Facebook, reminded me of this topic so thought I would share: Your inner child knows the difference between you offering authentic loving support and applying modalities as a way of fast-tracking your healing journey. Each time healing comes more from agenda than empathy, it infuriates your inner child. It often thinks, “You think you are having a hard time? I’m the very struggle you feel while housed in a body whose consciousness wants nothing to do with me. You think you are alone? You are merely empathing my aloneness within you.” 

Once the healing journey is less about manipulating the circumstances of life and more rooted in building authentic relationships with all parts of self; the more peace you make with your innocence, the more the inner child forgives the self-abandonment it has felt within you, the easier it is to the heal the wounds causing patterns of self-abandonment, and further your own evolution from a space of heart-centered authenticity. In the digital age, you cannot approach your healing journey like a computer with secret short cuts to learn. Each step of this journey must be done with honesty, humility, and earnestness. If not, you will remain at the exact step you are on, unable to proceed until a more authentic version of self arrives to advance your journey forward. This is why everyone deserves more love, not less. All For Love,

Things I've done that I think are worthy of mention: - Something I've really liked, although not doing it now, is Judy Satori's light language audio's/audio programs: https://www.ascensionlibrary.org/ - I also really enjoyed using some invocations from the Sacred School of Omna, example: https://omna.org/message-goddess-diana/ - 5 elements and other mantra processes from Sri Kaleshwar I've done quite a bit too https://learn.divinelineage.org/p/fivelementsmeditation - The work of Byron Katie - Contemplation - "Being with yourself", is something I sometimes do with closed eyes. Especially when emotions rise, just giving yourself your own presence - Breathwork such as holographic breathwork & holotrophic breathwork - Meditation & yoga can of course be good - Psychedelics - More stuff What I already shared is to find better feeling thoughts, the way Abraham Hicks suggests this I like, but of course there are other ways.

I'm happy I discovered Abraham Hicks' method, where you can just use your thought. The book 'astonishin power of emotions' by Abraham, written by Esther Hicks gives a lot of examples of how to use this method. Of course, there are many many more approaches, and I've tried quite a bunch myself

Here another definition of success Success= being yourself/being aligned with yourself

Ha interesting, thanks

In situations where insecurity or such comes up, I may think thoughts such as 'other peoples opinion doesn't really matter' (which I know is true and not make belief), or I wonder 'what would it be like to not care at all what anyone thinks?'

I once heard that if you force yourself to stop an addiction, the addiction just changes shape. The solution offered there was to understand the cause of the addiction IIRC.

Maybe not too much thinking and worrying and a little more relaxing and letting go?

Hmm, not sure how you mean that. But if imagining that feels good for you to do, then that seems good to me. For example, imagine you're angry and you have this intention of healing yourself and you heard that you should do self-love and say things like 'I love you so much' to yourself to heal when you feel bad. So you feel anger and go and say, or perhaps rather force, saying 'I love you so much' to yourself and maybe that just increases the anger even gives a strong feeling of intrusion or having your boundaries not respected. I say that because I know when I feel anger I often don't want someone coming up to me, trying to hold me, trying to talk to me or trying to get me to talk to them or such, that can create a big fury in me. I often want to be just left alone. Thus, I wouldn't give myself 'I love you so much' words there, or trying to overflow myself with a love feeling there, because that might not feel very loving but very intrusive. I did this for a while, trying to "self-love" while I actually might have wanted to have a moment of solitude. Giving myself solitude may thus be much more self-love than anything else. Sometimes you might feel sad, and perhaps you would just like some reassurance. You can feel that, what you want/long. So perhaps when you feel sad, have a feeling of wanting something reassuring or selflove like and so you can give yourself some reassuring words 'I don't have to know how to fix this now', 'I know that it's more important how I treat myself, then how others treat me', or And maybe you feel like having a bath, or something. For me, I often found that certain words like 'I don't know how to fix this' -which feels like a surrendering-, match well with a certain energy/feeling/longing I feel when and helps me release. In general, it might be good, and it can feel like self-love, to first acknowledge how you feel abou it, or just say something you feel is true about it. Sometimes you might release a bit and then it feels like you've done enough even if there is potentially more to release. Years before I may have tried to push it and continue anyway lol, now I tend to stop for that moment when there is a feeling of it being enough. Uhh, lol, have you been using the child example for all emotions that came? Well like I said in the example above, if I would do that when I felt anger, that might have felt REALLY rude to the 'angry self' in me. But I do use the 'I don't know how to fix this'-line for multiple situations. But I dig the idea of surrender so that line may just be in alignment with me a good bit in general. I meant that if you feel for example a bit worried and long for a sense of calm, you can just do or say something with a reassuring feel, even if you may even use words such as 'water' or 'waves' lol. I hope it helps somewhat and doesn't make it appear more complicated than it is. I don't think I've mastered this whole process quite yet, but am learning more and more and like to think I listen better and better. Perhaps it's good to ditch whatever we think how it all works in the moment, and just do what feels best to do right now. Sometimes though, if you have a strong negative thought pattern/momentum, you may just need to ride it out a bit at that moment without being able to really calm yourself in a way you would like. And an expectation that you can heal something in one swoop, might be unrealistic.

This one makes a lot of sense to me. Some interesting lines in there thank you for the share

Maybe everyone is always avoiding that, trying to distract themselves from the emptiness of life, trying to not feel that by constantly being busy with stuff, creating a future idea of something to achieve, etc. How about not avoiding it?

I would suggest to not try harder, but try less hard. Be gentle and easy with yourself, then perhaps you allow life to do the same to you

Alignment is the name of the game if you ask me. You don't want to follow a path, you want to sink back or realign with you. Because you are a unique energy frequency, anothers path is not keyed for you. If you just let go of trying to make things happen, trying to do what you think you should do, etc. and just start doing/choosing what feels best to you in every moment, you start aligning with what you are.

@Nivsch Yes yes yes!:D Love it, and that's exactly it. What you said is an example of what Abraham Hicks suggests 'find thoughts that feel good, that give you relief'. When I get some worries some thoughts that often work good for me are 'I don't have to think of anything right now', 'I don't have to figure anything out now', 'I don't have to fix anything now' etc. I might repeat such thoughts a bit because they also hold a sort of energetic space. You can FEEL what the right feeling of the thoughts is that you need when you listen to your feelings, that's how it seems to me anyway. I also had all these thoughts that I needed to love myself more or something, and then you have an image of how you should treat yourself, while actually if you feel, you may notice that that is actually not how you want to be treated (also not by yourself) at that moment. It's just a matter of tuning in and seeing what you actually feel like that would feel good, which seems to me is more about the feeling of the thought than it's really about the content of the thought. That's SO much easier! It makes life so much better, because I know that I can say or think the things that I feel I need, and that seems to be ALL that's necessary. Easy, sneasy, peasy. I've had moments with lots of worries and anxiety too not to long ago too, and know it's very nice to have to relief from that lol Yes I agree, it's significant, very much so for me anyway. Love to read what you wrote and that you have a way to work with the anxiety when it's there.

If it's exciting for you to try, or attracts you to do then why not? If however you feel that it's not ethical or whatever to do, then perhaps don't.

Thanks, love these sort of things:-)

Found it interesting, thank you

Well, I think the most obvious answer is to let go of the concern of how others see you. If you don't feel like socializing more, than to me the answer sounds like don't socialize more. You don't want to be 'normal', you want to be you

Well, you might like to consider giving up the search or hope to find something, someone, anything that you can rely on. That is a big thing I would say pretty much all people are trying to find in some way. Trying to control life.. How about letting it all go instead

I would say you have or are a unique signature vibration, and that therefore you resonate with certain things and not others. Added to that comes the body and mind with its own tendencies and all that. That's my current thought on it, could not be fully accurate.

Ahh, isn't this 40 second message of Bashar so sweet to hear? https://fb.watch/7jm58l1xQ_/ "If you follow the flow, your needs will always manifest if they are relevant for who you truly are. There is nothing you need to do beyond that, the current of creation, your current, already knows where you need to go. You don't need to make things happen" Now.. maybe you can allow yourself to relax more, and be gentler with yourself? Wishing you well
