Emotional Results

I am happy to announce to you my emotional results of my 24-7 releasing week. First off, I easily flowed through the my first week. By using the 9 questions I gave you from my last blog and releasing any emotional stuff that showed up, I discovered I had so much more energy and have slept less along with no snacking. I made better non-craving choices when it came to ordering off a menu when eating out and choosing my meals at home.  I easily ordered grilled food over fried food without any hesitation. Finding time to exercise just showed up. It was really effortless. I just made better choices without much chatter from my ego/mind.

Furthermore, I have found out when the agitation-type feelings came up – I realize that I had not ask the questions for a few hours. Hmmm… So when I was releasing about 8 to 12  times a day – I had less agitating episodes. I am sure my wanting to control was messing with me. When this happened I really experienced being stuck- ICK! I felt like a crazy person had taken over my body (Like the invasion of the body snatchers) – thank goodness after I felt that crazy feeling and let it go – I was back in the flow again. Yea!

Moreover, I was able to get so much done on a few projects that I had been working on. The resistance I normally run in to vanished.  My support for these projects seemed to show up just when I needed them. I have felt more focused and clear while working on these projects.  I felt I was manifesting support and solutions with just a thought.  Nice feeling!

Physical Results

Great News! My friend, A.M., and myself both lost inches. I lost 3.75 inches total inches-biggest loss was 1 inch on my waist. She lost 3.50 inches and feels stronger. Remember we were only releasing non-loving feelings to get these results. We did not put ourselves on a food restricted diet or rigorous exercise program. We did not spend a dime to get the results we got. We just let go and did what our bodies wanted to do when not bogged down with suppressed emotions.

My pants are fitting better and I feel better- lighter. I guess when they say that our emotions can weigh us down- they are right. I can honestly say – releasing those unloving feelings has put the spring back into my step.

I hope you will consider learning how to let go of your unloving feelings to have more joy and success in your life.

I will be back next week with the results of week 2!

JOIN the FUN and FLOW!

For the next 30 days, myself and my wonderful friend, A.M., will be asking ourselves a series of release questions and use the “Release Technique” and a few other emotional releasing methods to let go of those icky feeling that show up in our bodies after we ask the questions. You know that agitation – and that worrying stuck feeling that causes our bodies to feel contracted. We will be asking those questions as many times as we can during the day with the goal of getting up to 20 times a day.  A. M. and I are experienced releasers.  She was one of my students when I taught the Sedona Method, another emotional release method created by Lester Levinson. (Of course, I will be using those tools, too.)

Why call it a diet? Last July, after I went to one of Larry Crane’s Release Technique workshops and learned of this list of questions to get you releasing the uck and muck all day to feel better and give you more flow during your day, I used those questions to become aware of what programs and feeling that were running me. Wow- I was surprised with the results. When I consciously thought I was feeling peaceful- I soon discovered my subconscious had it’s own agenda. There was an under current of agitation and fear.  One of the side affects of this all day releasing was that I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Boy, was I surprised. I discovered that I did not have cravings to snack in the evening or for sugar, hence, the weight loss. Before, I felt I was not really an emotional eater-I learned differently. Ouch, the truth did hurt a little bit, however, it was nice to know. Finding this out has actually empowered me.

Since summer is just around the corner and this winter’s extra inches do not need to hang around anymore, I talked to A. M. and asked if she would like to go on a “Release Diet ” with me. She said – “Sure, why not?” She liked the idea of letting go of emotions for weight  loss and felt letting go of those unloving feelings might also give her clarity in other areas of her life, too. So on Tuesday this week – we measured ourselves. ( We decided to measure weight loss with inches instead of pounds because in the past, the pound thing messed with our heads too much and all we really wanted to do was to lose inches and feel healthy and happy, anyway.)

Yesterday was the first day of releasing using those questions to bring to a conscious level what is really messing with my peaceful feelings. I felt great.  I did not have an evening snack or crave sugar at all day yesterday. I felt more in control. I was able to say the questions 15 times. I have them memorized which makes the process easier.

What I hope to accomplish from this trial is to show many of you out there who might feel their life is spinning out of control-there is a way to find control again. For you fellow releasers, I am asking you to dust off your releasing tools and start letting go again. You know it works and the world needs people flowing again. This trial is just one way for me to show to you that releasing works and being aware of your thought and feeling 24-7 is a way of taking back your power and having control over your life again. (Who knows my extra inches could just melt away in the process as an added extra incentive. )

Here are Larry Crane’s Questions – ask them and release the emotional energy that shows up. Release websites to checkout are at the bottom of this post.

24-7 Release Questions

1-  Who or what am I afraid of now? Let it go…

2- Who or what do I want to control now? Let it go..

3- Whose approval do I want now? Let it go…

4-  Am I insecure now? Let it go..

5- Who or what do I want to be separate from now? Let that go..

6- Who or what am I resisting now? Let that go..

7- What is the worst thing that could happen right now? Let that go…

8- Could I let go of protecting myself with fear? Let it go..

9- Could I let go of being so smart and allow it to be other than I think it is? Let it go…

Here are the 2 emotional releasing websites to check out. www.releasetechnique.com  and www.sedona.com

A.M. and I will be checking in with each other and measure at the end of each week. I will be letting you know what happens and how we feeling about ourselves and our lives.

For you fellow releasers out there, I invite you to JOIN in on the FUN  and be apart of this 30 Day Release Diet trial, contact me at vicki@vickikallman.com, if you would like to join in. We would love a few more releasers to play with.

Loving vs Judging

What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love or What the world needs now is Judging sweet Judging! Or on your death bed will you be saying- “I wish I had loved more or judged more?” Think for a moment, what have you been doing more of this past 24 hours and what have the results been? Have you been calm, peaceful, and in the flow? Or have you been agitated, impatient, and stuck? Like I have said all along-every decision we make either takes you to love or away from love. What direction have you been going?

In Byron Katie’s Book, Loving What Is, she works with a young man concerning his issues with his parents. He made this statement, “My parents should not judge me!”She replied, “What planet do you live on? This is what we do here- we judge!” Then she asked him, ” Are you judging them?” At that point the young man realized his part of the problem he had with his parents. She got him to see what a vicious, non-loving circle he was in with his judging and he needed to let that go of his judging and start loving.

So why do we judge? What do we get out of judging a person or situation? Are we trying to be right or protect ourselves and others with the judging? This is my belief about judging. We do it for many reasons. It is a protection mechanism that steps in when we want a reason to change or control something and we must to be right. Our non-loving ego is running this fiasco- most of the time when we are judging, we are not connecting to any one or anything . The act of judging separates the person and act. Your ego is whispering in your ear- “I am not like you- what you are doing is bad- I would never do what you did. I am better than you.” The need to control the situation and be right is overwhelming- even though this act takes you further and further from the truth. Like it has been said in many ways– “You must walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before you can judge or criticize them.” When I hear someone say, “I would never do that!” I usually respond with, “Are you sure? – even under dire circumstances?” If you believe the statements, “I am you and You are me.” Then you could do that unthinkable act or make those bad decision.

So now the question is – how do I stop judging? Love is the answer, of course! HA! Loving What Is is really a powerful concept. You know you have a choice to love or judge anything that comes into your life. When we say we have a problem, we are judging it as a problem. If we stopped judging the situation and started loving it – is there still a problem? You decide. Einstein said that “No problem can be solved from the same plane it was created.” Since Love is the highest energy vibration there is, what happens to that so-called problem? When you decide to love a so-called problem you become courageous and accepting and the energy on that situation switches right before your eyes. When you are in that loving place you can see that accepting the situation will put everyone in better place and no one has to be right. It just IS! You are now going toward love and all the great comfort that you feel when you have made that wise choice. Being right is judging. Choosing Happy is loving! Let go of the judging and embrace the loving!

Joyful Tip of the Month

If you want more joy and peace in your life, stop judging!It really is that
simple but not easy, since we all have been pushing that judging button
just about non-stop 24-7. Step back-Take your finger off that judging button.

Now envision a loving button right next to it. Realize you have choice here. Next time a so-called bad situation or person comes into you life- release the temptation to judge it or them, instead push the love button. Be patient. It will feel really weird when you first start using the Love button. Remember we also judge ourselves-so practice pushing the
Love button for yourself, too.

Practice this at home and at work. When you are in that beautiful loving place -you win as well as everyone around you. Try loving everything that is going in your life for just one hour in the beginning and see for yourself. Let the loving begin!~

In Love and In Joy,

Aloha,

Thank you readers for the wonderful feedback from the last newsletter. Remember, set those intentions for your success and joy everyday. It was once said by Lewis Carroll, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” I have my January intentions posted on a huge post-it in my office and read it everyday. Let me tell you, I have had a remarkable January and I believe it is because I have embraced my intentions. I am just about ready to take them down, fine tune them, and put up February’s Intentions. I hope you will do the same.

♥♥♥ “Watch out for the Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing!” ♥♥♥

I teach in my workshops that every decision we make takes us to love or away from love. I was asked in my interview with Janice Marie Wilson, how do you know if the decision you make is loving or not? First of all, that negative ego /mind can be tricky sometimes. A real wolf in sheep’s clothing! Have you ever thought you are making a loving decision to only have it blow up in your face? What went wrong? Wasn’t I coming from love? How do I avoid that reaction? First of all, you need to check why you decided to do what you did. Is there any lack of control involved, lack of approval involved, or lack or feeling safe involved? Let me give you an example with a loving solution.

Imagine you have a loved one that is not making great choices in their lives. ( I am sure everyone has experienced this! ) This person has not asked for your help, however, you are frustrated and you have decided to tell them just what you think they need to do. Of course, you think this is a loving act—or is it? Is that decision taking you to love or away from love? Let’s do a check. Close your eyes and spend a moment just pouring love on that decision- some more and some more. What happens to that decision- as you are loving it? Was unsettling? Then did it disappear or did it get stronger? Now get honest with yourself, were you making that decision because you lacked control and wanted to control that person? Those are all non-loving and “got to be right” feelings which will take you away from love and you both lose. As you can see, no good will come from that action- now what? Try this- decide to love and accept them and let them know you are there for them. Now love that decision. Does the feeling expand and become more peaceful? Now you are going toward love and everyone wins. Because when it comes down to it- “Everyone is going to do what they are going to do and not do what they are not going to do.” So do the loving thing for everyone- do the love test on your decisions, if you are not sure. Expose the ego/wolf unloving decisions for what they are and sleep well counting all the sheep/loving decisions you have made in your life.

❥ February Joyful Tip

I love the month of February. Love is in the air! It is the time of the year that people express to each other how they really feel. They do it with words like ”I love You”, giving gifts of hearts, special nights out, and all to name a few. It is wonderful time to share your heartfelt feelings. Can I suggest you do something a little bit different this year for this month’s Joyful Tip, along with all those kind and loving acts, remember to give yourself the gift of love, too. Yes, love yourself just because it might just be what you are missing to make that special planned Valentine event be all it can be. What I mean is to be kind to yourself AND your loved one. Don’t get caught in the trap of over doing it because you want someone to love you. Instead, love yourself, trust yourself, care about yourself, in return, the other person will feel that you have something to give to them -abundant love. Let “Your cup runneth over.” Everyone benefits from your full love cup! If you do not have anyone special in your life- that is OK, too, Spend Valentine’‘s Day saying you love yourself all day- do something special just for you.There is a fabulous book that was released last fall by Larry Crane called, “Love Yourself and Let the Other Person Have it Your Way.” I believe you can go on Amazon and purchase it. It is easy to read with a powerful life changing message. Do you want to have the best Valentine’s Day ever? Read the book and implement the loving concepts. “Be the Love” and have the best Valentine’s Day possible.

❥ Remember “Love for Peace in your Life and in our World!”

In Love and In Joy,

Vicki
