All The Happiness You Can Handle

Want even more happiness? Here´s what to do...

1. Release on "I allow myself to be happy!"

Run this goal through one or all of these polarities until you are hootless.

- attachments and aversions
- advantages and disadvantages
- likes and dislikes

2. Release on what you need to have and avoid to be happy

- what do I need to be happy?
- what do I need to avoid to be happy?

Go to the level of wanting approval/control/security and keep releasing on the responses to these questions until you are hootless.

3. Drop any resistance to happiness

- what do I resist about being happy?
- what is my resistance to happiness?

Keep releasing until no more resistance comes up.

4. Provide the commitment

The single most important success factor with releasing is doing the work of releasing. Anyone can read and understand the sedona method book, listen to and understand the audio courses etc. Releasing is experiential it is not intellectual.

If you really want happiness - make a decision to release and keep going until you have the happiness you want. In my experience it takes hours and hours of focused releasing to get to hootless on a goal. Even over many days. This is time well spent.

Could it get any better?

From AGFLAP to CAP to Hootless: Goals

Recently I have made changes to how I work on goals with releasing that speed up the process of going higher. Here are my top tips based on my recent experience.

1. Use a written goal chart

In the past I have tended to work on my goals without writing them down. However using a written goal chart allows you to track your progress from agflap to cap. This is encouraging and keeps you focused.

Plus, it roughly halves the time it used to take me to work through agflap because my concentration is so much more focused.

There is a goal chart with usage guidelines in the "Files And Downloads" section in the left hand margin of this site.

2. Aim to go to hootless

Releasing to get to CAP is a good start but that is all it is. If you aim higher and keep releasing to get to the hootless state you´ll see a big shift in your outlook. You´ll get a taste of imperturbability - you´ll be living step 1 of the 6 steps.

When you get to CAP you´ll think more clearly and may even have lucky coincidences or insights that move you closer to your goal. Go that extra step to hootless and you´ll have what you really want - imperturbability. Plus, the goal may just pop in with very little effort.

Take on the effort of releasing in your mind and you´ll have less efforting in the outside world.

3. Do the work

Releasing takes dedication and commitment if you want to see big results.

I have been working on one particular goal over the last week and I´ve not got to hootless yet despite five sessions of 45-60 minutes. I am much, much freer in terms of the goal but I´m not done yet.

Why do I persist?

Because I feel so much more peaceful and because the completed goal charts prove I have moved up through a lot of agflap to get to where I am right now in Acceptance. I can see I am getting somewhere, I am not imagining it!

Why not put these tips to use in your own releasing? And then report back to let me know how you got on.

Releasing Is Not Analysis

Very often we can caught up in discussions about the problems people want help with.

These posts offering potential solutions while well meaning and possibly helpful are not what releasing is about.

Releasing is not about diagnosis, analysis and suggesting possible solutions.

Releasing is all about letting go of problems, letting go of wanting to figure out what to do and allowing in freedom.

If you have a problem you can let it go with releasing...

- let go of wanting to figure it out
- let go of wanting to know what to do
- let go of wanting to know the answer
- let go of wanting to think

Strange eh! Yes it is because releasing may be unlike anything else you have ever used to become happier and free.

You can also shift focus from the problem (what you do not want) to a goal (what you do want)

Finally, letting go of all resistance to a problem can work wonders.

Sedona Method Releasing: Love & Approval

Want more love and approval from people?

The most direct way to work on this is to give yourself love and approval all day long for no reason whatsoever.

How?

Simply say " I love you!" to yourself for hours at a time. Whatever thoughts or feelings pop up simply continue by saying "I love you!".

Go one step further and do this in front of the mirror if you really want to go for it!

If you´ll do this for a while you´ll start to feel very loving and accepting of yourself, this will then expand to the people in your life and to the world generally.

You could also release on the goal:

I love and accept myself.

Run attachments and aversions, advantages and disadvantages or likes and dislikes until you only have loving feelings for yourself.

Enjoy!

3 Great Ways To Release Resistance

1. Bring up the feeling of resistance, really feel it and allow it to go. This involves no thought about the nature of the resistance. Keep going until you feel lighter and freer.

2. Ask: what is my resistance to the goal.

e.g. what is my resistance to being fit?

Then, let go of each aspect of the resistance that pops up.

3. My BUT... technique

State the goal and add BUT to bring up resistance.

e.g. I allow myself to be fit BUT....

This might bring up responses like --

BUT I´m too lazy
BUT I´m too busy
BUT I´ll start another time

This is a great way to bring up more resistance to having the goal. Then, release in the usual way.

In all work with resistance I keep going until I feel lighter and freer about the goal. I will refer to the AGFLAP chart to see that I am in CAP before expecting that most of the resistance is gone.
