What is Letting Go? • The Letting Go technique involves freeing oneself of negativity in our daily lives. It can also be called the Mechanism of Surrender (p. 5). • We carry around with us a reservoir of accumulated negative feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. The pressure of these feelings causes us to suffer because we are afraid to face our feelings (p. 9). • We have thousands of incessant thoughts that are associated with these feelings. When we can identify and relinquish these feelings, we are freeing ourselves of the associated thoughts, which is Letting Go (p. 10). • When we Let Go of a feeling, the energy behind • the feeling is instantly surrendered and the pressure we have felt is released (p. 14). • Letting go is the sudden cessation of an inner pressure or the dropping of a weight (p. 9). • It’s all about an honest, positive perspective—for example, ”joy” instead of “grim satisfaction”, or doing things out of “enjoyment” rather than “obligation” (p. 229). • Letting go allows one to be free of negative thoughts and allow yourself to be creative, aware and able to invite positive thought.

How to Let Go 1. Make a decision to stop denying the higher levels to yourself (p. 240). Commit to surrendering negative feelings as they arise (p. 297). 2. Be aware of the feeling, noticing your reaction to a situation. Be willing to see things differently and be forgiving of self—remember, anger and resentment are due to our perception! (p. 260) 3. Allow the feeling to be there without judgment or resistance, and look at the intent of that feeling—what is it’s purpose, and likely response? (p. 268 & p. 296) If you are stuck in a feeling, you secretly think it will accomplish something for you (p. 277). Keep insisting on relinquishing the feeling, and it will run out in due time (p. 296). 4. How do you know you’ve surrendered? You are free of negative feelings, allowing your Higher Self to surface without opposition or hindrance from inner conflicts (p. 10). When you have no strong emotion about a thing (p. 21). When you lovingly frame an outcome that benefits all stakeholders, yet you’re ok if something happens or doesn’t (p. 276).
