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.
