Simplify Your Releasing

Lester Levenson used to encourage people to "keep it simple sweetheart" - KISS! However the mind likes complexity so it will resist a simple but proven formula. We are all likely to get caught up in unnecessary releasing processes that add nothing. There is a better way...

Find a releasing process that works for you, one that suits your nature and push it to the limit. See if there is a limit and then explore to see if you can go beyond that apparent limit. When you do this you can attain true mastery of a deceptively simple but highly effective process. As Bruce Lee put it - "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."

For example, let's say you want to achieve a goal. All you need is the Goal Chart. There is nothing complicated about it. You set a goal, identify the now feeling and let go of the wanting approval/control/security driving that feeling. And then repeat the process. The key is to keep going until you check for the now feeling and there are no more feelings to let go of. That takes persistence and the determination to release to completion.

Because the Goal Chart is simple the mind may reject it. Your mind can easily conclude that such a simple process can't get you what you want. The mind will tell you this because the ego resists change. The only solution to this drama is to establish proof. Run the Goal Chart to completion and let evidence in your personal reality show you whether the process works or not.

If you don't let proof be your guide, you'll go on the hunt for a more complicated goal process. You may find one but complexity doesn't equate to effectiveness. Complexity also demands more effort of you - that may stop you using the process when you most need it.

The beautiful elegance and power of releasing is available to everyone. Yet few will realise this potential. Choose simplicity, persistence and dedication. Do that and you'll discover the promise of releasing is true.

Jump Up the AGFLAP Chart to Solve Problems

Imagine this scenario. You have a problem you need to deal with but you feel unresourceful and unsure of how to proceed. Then, you think to yourself, why not release on it? But it seems too difficult to even begin releasing on the problem. This can happen when you're at the bottom end of the AGFLAP chart.

The best way forward is to change your emotional state so you feel capable of releasing. Is there a simple way to jump up the AGFLAP chart? Yes, there is. Choose to generate a feeling of gratitude for the problem! I know that sounds odd when you want to be rid of the problem. With this approach we are using gratitude as a resource we'll leverage to handle the problem. This is very different to dropping your intention to solve the problem because you feel comfortable.

You can choose how you feel. Don't let the problem dictate your emotional state. If you decide to feel grateful you'll be operating from Acceptance at the top end of the AGFLAP chart. Acceptance means seeing the situation as it is, facing the problem and deciding what to do from a highly energetic state. You'll have a clarity of mind and an ability to take action that is unavailable to you when you're stuck lower down the AGFLAP chart.

How to Jump Up the AGFLAP Chart

1 Notice you have a problem 

Accept that you feel unable to handle it. And know that you can shift your emotional state even if the problem persists. You're going to decide how you feel not the problem!

2 Decide to be grateful for the problem. 

Ask yourself: could you decide to be grateful for the problem?

Keep asking this question until you feel happier, lighter, more relaxed and a greater sense of possibility. When you truly feel grateful you will be in a state of Acceptance. That's a big shift - a jump from the bottom to the top of the AGFLAP chart.

3 Release on the problem

Use whichever releasing process works best for you. Now that you're in the highly energetic Acceptance state you'll find releasing far easier and faster. Decide to release until you feel PEACE, the top of the AGFLAP chart, whether you solve the problem or not. When you feel at peace regardless of the outcome you'll enjoy a clarity of mind that can produce new and unexpected solutions you would never have thought of when you were lower down the AGFLAP chart.

Go high to release, don't release to go high as Lester Levenson taught.
