The Letting Go
I am (in case you haven’t heard) one of the world’s great criers. I actually like crying. You know those people that never cry? I can’t relate. In fact, I don’t know how I’d get through life without it. I express all of my core feelings through tears- fear, anger, joy, sadness, and sexual feelings. Crying is a release. Orgasm is a release. Do you see what I’m saying? It feels good. And if I don’t do it enough, I can feel that I’m not doing it enough. (Hey, same with orgasm, haha!)
When people don’t express their feelings (and crying is an essential way to do that), it causes problems in the long run.- physical problems, relationship problems, and mood problems, just to name a few. So even if you don’t happen to like crying, having your body be a clear channel for whatever you want to create next- and not, therefore, creating what you don’t want by default- is a good reason to allow yourself to cry.
If you have a hard time starting the flow of feelings, here are some things you can do that might get you started: watch an emotional movie, read an emotional book, write about whatever thoughts and feelings are coming up for you, look at old pictures, talk about your thoughts and feelings with a loving friend or partner. You may have noticed: one cannot do any of this these things if they are constantly keeping themselves distracted with work, chores, social events, etc. That’s the other important thing- allowing yourself time to be quiet, and sometimes alone. Tears will not come if there’s no space for them.
Sometimes the emotional release can get quite intense. That’s one of the reasons most people avoid crying. They’re scared they will feel too much, and will never be able to stop. Even though I don’t go very long without crying at least a few tears, whenever I have a big release, I feel scared that it will never end. Even though I’ve done it hundreds of times, and it has always ended! People are funny like that. I’m going through a lot lately (an many of us are, because that’s just what’s up on the planet these days). This morning I was having one of those huge emotional releases of sadness, anger, and fear. I was reminded of an exercise I like to do when thigs are really intense. I’d like to share it with you below. It, like most of the things I do, is a combination of suggestions I’ve gotten from other sources (like channeling, in this case), combined with my own twist on things. So here’s what to do:
1. Repeat out loud, as many times as you feel moved to: “God help me”. Notice I didn’t say: “Please God, please….help me!!!” That’s begging, and that tends to put people in a victim role and, consistent with the Law of Attraction, disallow help. When I say “God” here, I am thinking of the male aspect of God, the Divine Father, if you will.
2. Say: “My angels, help me”. As with the first one, and all of them, do it until you feel done. If you know the names of your angels, you can ask them each individually. I don’t know all my angels’ names, but I do have a third angel that I call “George” (most people have only two, but he knew I needed him, so he came to be with me when I was nineteen years old), so I say “George help me”.
3. Say: “My spirit guides, help me”. In my case I then say “Arthur help me”, “Antonio help me”, and “Josephine help me”.
4. Speaking to the Divine Mother (the feminine aspect of God), I say: “Divine Mother, give me the Quantum Light Frequency so that with each breath I take, it enters my body more and more.”
I don’t usually do this last step until I sense I am nearing the end of my crying, because when I do I almost immediately feel myself resting in the arms of the Mother, and my tears stop all the way soon after. It has never failed. It’s a beautiful exercise. I hope you’ll try it and remember that you’re never alone!
