Barriers to Releasing And A Flexible Solution

Today I want to discuss one barrier to releasing - being too mechanical in how you apply the Method.

Let´s take an example. When releasing on wanting security, if you are a good student of the Method, you will know that all you need to do is ask yourself one question:

Could you let go of wanting security?

However what if you get bored with this question or you just feel stuck? What is the answer to this barrier? I recommend taking a flexible approach. Ask yourself variations on the wanting security question until you find one that clicks for you. Here are some suggestions:

- Could you let go of wanting security?


- Could I let go of wanting security?


- Could you let go of wanting insecurity?


- Could I let go of wanting insecurity?

In this example I only looked at dealing with wanting security from the "could you let it go?" angle. You could also use this approach when allowing the feeling to be present or when you dive into the heart of the feeling.

Again, ask youself variations of the question until you find what works best for you.

Could it get any better?
