Thnxs for the your comments Angela. You see whaen I truly accept the emotion it goes away and I can no longer sit with it. That confuses me because you talk like you're able to sit with the emotion after you've accepted it, when for me I sit with it and that brings on the acceptance, and the emotion disapears.
: This sounds as if you’ve got on a good
: way , what I want to ask you is,
: once you accept a feeling have you
: then been able to be with / allow
: the feeling(s) to move on through?
: This, I find, frees the feeling and
: you. In doing this I often find
: insights of previous occurrences -
: similar to gathering a trail
: backwards to source. At this point,
: an , ‘oh that was it I remember’
: often happens, (these memories often
: come in different sensory forms
: ).sitting with that feeling allowing
: it to vibrate through usually clears
: it, a realisation, that is
: enlightening and transformative .I
: often find this hard but keep on
: with it!This is restorative, and a
: way to claim back who you are from
: a past negative experience thats
: been suppressed, hidden orwhat ever
: inisde for a long period of time.

:
: My other comment is, rememmber the
: hindrances, perhaps its trust,
: perhaps not, but what about the
: hindrances,- one evening quite
: awhile back now, when doubt pervaded
: I opened the book and there was the
: section on the hindrances I had to
: laugh so apt and insightful.........
:
: I’ve recently been working with
: Johns alpha journey CD and found
: this a wonderful resource.
:
: Yea this work is challenging, and
: good, I feel the results are
: worthwhile.
:
: I hope this is helpful.

: Hi again,
:
: I guess taking the time to check
: back with the book gives me some
: insight. - Trust, page 188 applies
: to my questions... in reviewing I
: noticed that thought and labeling is
: a step in the process and that is
: the awareness part of it.
: This stuff is such a challenge in
: todays society; don't you find?

: Hi everyone,
:
: I've been away from John's book for
: a month or so, and I want to share
: what I've taken from it. What his
: words have told me, is to clear
: emotions you need to watch them
: rather than become them, and accept
: there presence. The only problem I
: have with this is when I truly
: accept them they seem to go away for
: the time, but return at some time
: later... so am I slowly clearing
: these emotions, or am I suppressing
: them every time they come up? I
: kind of get stuck back at the same
: spot. I'm not truly confident if my
: experience is what John is
: describing. Am I doing it right or
: not? Is it possible for anyone to
: even answer that?
: I would like to add that thought and
: labels have little or nothing to do
: with my process.
: Also the reason for these questions
: is that I can't seem to make this
: process a routine if I don't know if
: it's accomplishing its intent.
: Any insight would be appreciated.
