STEP 1

Relax

Minimize distractions and calm your mind. You can listen to calm music, focus on your breath or anything else that can capture your conscious attention. Do this for a few minutes until you feel centered.

STEP 2

Experience

Become aware of and accept any thoughts, emotions, and other physical sensations. Do not try to block or go deeper in any of them. Experience whatever happens in the moment. Ask yourself: what do I experience right now? Can I describe my thoughts or feeling as having a form, a color, or other qualities? How would I 'objectify' them, how could I turn them into something that I 'have'?

STEP 3

Detach

Next, create space between who you are and the contents or objects of your experience. You are not the sensations, the possessions, the thoughts, or the feelings. Instead, you are the one who is noticing, observing them in your field of awareness. You experience something that you have, not who you are. You are the witness behind the objects in your experience. You are watching a movie on the screen of your consciousness.

STEP 4

Release

Now let go. Release the negativity and the pain. Imagine a dark cloud float away from your head, dark air that gets released with every exhale, or negative energy flow into the ground through the soles of your feet. Whatever visualization makes you feel lighter is what works for you. Watch yourself let go of these accumulations that are not you.

STEP 5

Repeat

That's it. Now keep doing the work. Letting go is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process that requires practice and commitment. This technique is more difficult than it seems; especially since we have been conditioned to suppress our feelings. This does not make them go away. Practice letting go to move forward step by step. You will get better and gain more benefits over time.
