One of the best ways to feel better is to release. So many of us are carrying around such incredibly heavy loads of excess emotional baggage, thoughts and feelings we don't need, thoughts and feelings that are weighing us down and preventing our Good from manifesting. When you release, you become lighter. Releasing is a good way to raise your energy.
Mental/Emotional Releasing
When we harbor negative emotions toward people, places, things, situations, or events, we are actually linking ourselves to them with an almost unbreakable bond. You can be on the other side of the world, but if you hate someone, you are linked to that person as if you were sitting in the same room, battling each other. Who do such negative emotions hurt? You!
You are the person who suffers because you're the one who's carrying around the negative emotions. You're the one who's being eaten up inside. Not only do negative emotions make you feel bad, they can actually stress your system and make you physically ill and manifest in the end as ulcers, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer, just to name a few of the more obvious ones.
So not only is releasing a great way to make yourself feel better, you can even heal yourself of serious illness by releasing the negative emotions you have toward people, places, things, situations and events.
What Exactly Is Releasing?
Releasing is not a question of forgiving, although truly forgiving is probably even better than releasing, though harder to do. By releasing I mean just that: You let go. Releasing is not an intellectual exercise. You don't have to forgive the person or event, nor do you have to explain to yourself why or how or if the act of release is justified. You just do it.
By releasing or letting go, you avoid arguing with yourself, so it's an especially good way to free yourself from those people you are having a hard time forgiving.
In other words, releasing is something you are doing for your own good, for your own health and well-being, not for anyone else. You don't practice release because you are trying to be noble. When you release, you do it simply because you know that sometimes if you can let things go, if you can release negative emotions, you are going to feel a whole lot better. So all you have to do is make the decision to release and do it on a regular basis.
Remember to Release First
It's interesting to note that sometimes people who are working with positive affirmations don't get the results they're seeking until they start releasing. This is because when we hold on to negative emotions, they do more than just bring us down, make us sick, and clutter up our minds; negative emotions fill up so much space in our lives that they can actually block our Good from coming to us. And when we work with positive affirmations, we are striving to manifest new Good in our lives.
You can practice releasing someone from your life by proclaiming aloud or by writing for example:
I completely release you _______.
I release you and let you go to your Highest Good.
Or you can say:
I completely and absolutely release you _______.
I bless you with love and release you.
Sometimes we feel intuitively that troublesome people are also holding on to us, so we can also affirm for them:
________, you completely and absolutely release me. You relax and let me go.
Or you can say:
________, you completely and wholeheartedly let me go. All things are in harmony between us, now and forever.
If a situation or event is bothering you, you can say:
I completely and wholeheartedly release _______ (situation, condition, relationship, experience, or event.) I relax and release it.
Sometimes releasing the people we love is the most important type of releasing we can do. Love of children or love of a partner that becomes possessive or that makes us try to dominate and control the other person in the name of love is always damaging. True love means liberation and frees the people we love to grow and evolve in whatever way is best for them. So in cases like this you can say:
________ I completely and wholeheartedly let you go to your Highest Good. I love you but I let you go. You are completely free and I am completely free. Perfect harmony is the one and only reality between us.
Releasing Problems or Situations
Sometimes we need to release a problem or situation that has been bothering us for a long time. We might be spending a great deal of emotional and mental energy thinking and worrying about something, when what we really need to do is release it. By letting go of the problem or situation, we free it to work itself out in whatever way is best. All our thinking and worrying actually prevent the situation from resolving itself.
In cases like this you can say:
I now completely and wholeheartedly release _______ (name the problem or situation.) I allow it to work itself out for the Highest Good of all concerned.
When in Doubt, Release
So when you are in doubt about something, when you feel troubled, when you face problems you cannot seem to solve or resolve, or when you have an illness which lingers on, practice releasing each and every day. The results will probably amaze you!
