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.

30 Day Trial of the Release Diet Begins!

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.

Peace Begets Peace

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I would like to share an experience I had yesterday at the Monterey Airport. I arrived at the airport in a very beautiful peaceful place. My mind was quiet and at peace. I was well into being imperturbable. I had just spent a week in Monterey, CA at a release retreat presented by a gentleman named Larry Crane. I spent the week letting go of emotional ego-based junk in my mind through an easy and simple technique. After the retreat, I was going home and was at the airport with a fellow retreat participant named John. While going through security we saw there we two machines where our items were scanned but only one when machine for the passengers to screened. Needless to say, the line for everyone to pass through became bottlenecked. There was some pushing and shoving from several people. Meanwhile John and I just stood there in line being very peaceful just waiting for things to clear. The female Security guard was getting frustrated and kept demanding- “For everyone to stay behind the line”, in a very loud gruff voice. Her demeanor was quiet Gestapo-like. Once the passenger passed through she continued to give them a hard time. Then it was my turn I walked through and handed her my boarding pass and she looked it looked up and me and smiled and said “Thank You Vicki” I said you are welcome and went to retrieve my things. John walked through and she said” thank you John” to him and then continued with the next person in line and she did not seem to be as angry. John and I both laughed as we saw what happened. In fact a friend of his from Monterey who happened to be on our same flight and was not part of the retreat-who went through before us said the gal said nothing nice to her. This really made us laugh.

It just proved to me – that when I am at peace I have the ability to pass it on to a complete stranger and change their response to the world. My conclusion is that Peace begets Peace. If a large number of people became peaceful- then through the theory of the “tipping point” we could have peace in the world and we all could live as one- just like the song, Imagine, by the Beatles.

Love for Peace in Ourselves and in our World

Loving Yourself Results Shared- Part 1

Monday, May 4th, 2009

On my last blog entry- I shared with you my experience with the “Loving myself” affirmations and some of my results. I also said that I had two friends that said the affirmation regularly also for the last few months. Here what has happened in their lives since they have started their loving affirmations- I will not use their names so I can respect their privacy. They have given me permission to share their experiences though.

Friend number one, let’s call her, Jen. She is a gal that has been working one loving herself for a few years now. And for whatever reason – she has struggled with this concept. Like many of us- she listened to everyone else and looked outside her self for everyone’s approval. A trap I believe we all have been in. In response to her approval program, she has become a huge procrastinator of things she says she wants.

Once she started saying, “Jen, I love you unconditionally” – she added unconditionally which worked for her, she started looking at a few unfinished projects that she had started. She seemed to have energy to work on them. She cleaned out her garage – huge task. She went shopping for a new car but in the end she had her old car serviced- (she had put that off for years)- and the AC fixed that had not worked for a while. She even told her mother, who lives out side of the US, that she would come and visit her. She has not been home in 8 years.

A few weeks ago, I got a call from her and she was having a really bad week- after she shared her emotional week with me I asked her one question, “Have you been saying- Jen, I love you conditionally?” There was silence at the other end of the phone- then she laughed and said. “NO”. Then we both laughed. She went on to say- I totally forgot to do that – this is the gal that ends every phone to her friends with- “love ya!” She always remembers to say that to her friends but not to herself! We humans are a strange and wonderful species!

Loving ourselves really is not hard however we let other things in our lives make that act become not as important as what everyone else thinks of us. I cannot remember who said this statement –I love it- “It is none of my business what others think of me.”

My challenge to you this week is to – Give yourself some approval for doing nothing. One way to do it that is to say your “I love myself” affirmation out loud while looking in the mirror right into your own eyes. Do it and let me know how it goes! I get all tingly all over when I do that. I usually end up smiling and feeling like a little girl again. I feel at that very minute- I am connecting to the universe’s truth of who I am. What a wonderful and loving place!

If you are unable to do that- let me know what happened there, too.

In Love and Joy,
Vicki
