Letting go - Discover the power within



We have all heard of letting go, we know there are times when we really have to let go, but how many times can we truly let go and how many times have we woken up to sheer magic and miracles when we have totally let go, most times because we have got distracted from the problem at hand by some other problem...:) or we just give up because we are just too tired to fight it anymore and voila..magic... suddenly things just seem to fall into place or get resolved magically... :) feels wonderful doesn't it?

So what did we do there that changed things? when we got distracted or just too tired of bothering? what snapped?


It is our emotional attachment or investment to the issue or problem. The moment we let go of it, we stop holding on to the problem in the current state as we perceive it with all our emotions. The moment we stop perceiving it as we have it has to change, vanish, get better.

So we have been doing this pretty much as default behavior, feel awesome when we stop thinking about a problem and it just dissolves, but most of the time fail to do it consciously.

Yes, I do agree, it is not that easy, when we have smoke pouring out of our ears because we are so angry with something or someone or just so deep into the emotion that everything else is invisible to us.

But what if all we had to do was just acknowledge the problem and identify our emotional attachment to it as a start. A small baby step, accept we have the problem and understand that we have a truckload of feelings attached to it, and feel good that we have taken that step.

Okay, now that is done what next, we cannot leave it here after acknowledging and accepting... now what if we can still learn to accept ourselves with all the things that are happening in our lives?
Easier said than done? I totally agree.

But then if you are indeed ready to try something like this... just to see if it works, conscious letting go of all our attachment to the emotions that probably want us to tear our hair out or throw the most remarkable tantrum or maybe treat a tub of ice cream as our best friend and drown our sorrows in it, then EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique) is probably the best possible way to do it, and the simplest one too.

It is also extraordinarily gentle as the tool is literally at your fingertips. But dear friends please do not forget the roles of two other aspects that play an equally important role with the use of the Emotional Freedom Technique. the 2 P's - Patience and persistence.

The shift that starts happening as if a weight is being lifted of your shoulders as you begin the process of letting go - consciously- bit by bit is something that needs more to be experienced than explained.

Let me put it this way, if you have a problem, as long as you are in a tug-of-war with it, with the rope representing the emotional attachment to the problem, what happens? and what happens once you let go of the rope? I hope you have got my point... :-)

So long dear friends, more will follow soon.

The thorn in the shoe metaphor

Let me just share a small story with you all today. I had gone for a walk at a local park this morning. It was a lovely morning though a bit warm. The breeze was crisp and the lake in the park shimmered and glowed in the morning sun. I was just beginning to soak it all in when, within a few steps, I felt there was something in my shoe. It was a bit bothersome, so I removed my shoe, did a simple dusting, and tried walking on. But something was stuck and kept poking me. I realized it could have been a stray thorn from my previous visit. Rather than trying to remove it right then and there, I tried to ignore it/ thought I could manage and kept walking on. But It was getting painful. The more I walked, the more painful it became and the less I enjoyed my walk. In fact, it was also slowing me down and kept my focus constantly on the painful point. I also forgot all about the beautiful scenery around me.  Finally, I had to st

Thoughts Vs Emotions

For those who have been practicing EFT for a while and the newcomers to EFT, it is really simple that once we have done a couple of rounds of EFT, it reveals a lot of things to us. When new emotions come up, it is really good, all we have to do is address them with another round of EFT. But sometimes our sweet intellect takes over and we start getting a number of thoughts, some memories, some perceived thoughts where we start analyzing the thoughts as possible connections to the issue at hand and start tapping on them. This takes us away from the issue. I hope you are with me so far and are getting what I am trying to say. For Example, if the issue at hand is you are feeling bad about something someone said to you, after a couple of rounds of tapping ideas come to your head and you start tapping " Even though I think xyz said this to me because..... " That becomes analysis rather than focusing on emotions. Even if such a thought does co
