Achieving Mental Freedom by Letting Go

Today I am going to share with you, the single most effective thing you can do to change your life forever.

If you really dedicate yourself to this, then you will find freedom, confidence, dating success, wealth, the cure to anxiety, and a sense of inner peace and true happiness that will forever change how you view the world.

What I am referring to is unshackling yourself from your mind by using a very specific technique.

That technique is letting go

What does it mean to let go?

Thanks to the work of Dr. David Hawkins and Lester Levinson we finally have a coherent framework to achieve mental freedom.

Letting go is the process of bringing our feelings and beliefs out of the shadows, recognizing them, accepting them, recognizing that they are only feelings, and letting them go. It is the process of surrender.

What we resist, persists.

So in practical terms letting go means that instead of suppressing or hiding our emotions, we embrace them fully. Accept them as they come, and let them run their course like a child with a temper tantrum.

Once we acknowledge them and welcome them, then they will lose their power over us. What we are ultimately doing is separating ourselves from emotions and the ego. We are recognizing that what we feel is just an emotion, and emotions are good. They are what makes us human.

Then we dig deeper and find the root of these emotions. What triggers them, and where did they come from. Intense meditation and reflection is needed here and it may take months, but once you are able to identify the root of negative beliefs then true healing can begin.

Then all that is left is to constantly repeat this process with the goal of revealing love in all things.

The end result of letting go is connecting and falling in love with our genuine selves.

Why is letting go so hard?

Letting go can be especially challenging for highly intelligent and analytical people. This is because mental healing and self acceptance is not something that can be learned in the academic sense. Instead it must be felt.

Reconnecting with your feelings is one of the biggest parts of this process. You must feel them fully and do not cower or suppress them.

Solving this part of your life will require entirely different tactics. Adapting can be difficult which is why I now seek to guide other people through this process. Life on the other side of this is the most amazing and beautiful thing. This is how life was meant to be lived and helping people get to the other side has become one of my life missions.

Another reason letting go is so hard is because we are directly challenging our deepest held beliefs and our false identity that our ego has constructed.

One mistake that many people make is to vilify the ego, but this will hinder progress. The reason is because our ego is part of our natural defense mechanism. It seeks to protect us just like fear. However, it's noble intentions lead to great pain and suffering if we let it control us.

It is trying to protect us from rejection. It's a survival mechanism. The problem is that our brains have not evolved to modern times. Rejection no longer means that we are cast out into the wild to starve to death. Our ego is so terrified of this outcome that it will suppress who we really are so that we stay under the radar and avoid making too much noise and angering the wrong person.

The modern reality is that being inauthentic with our true selves will repel people. It will sabotage friendships, romantic partners, business opportunities, and more. Ultimately it will leave us lost, miserable, and lonely questioning what is wrong with us.

But as hard as it may be, the only way to escape the ego's grasp is to recognize its misguided good intentions and thank it for looking out for you, but telling it that you no longer need it. You've got this from now on.

Challenging a fake identity, our primal survival instincts, and our deepest held subconscious beliefs is a difficult task to say the least. The prize however is happiness and freedom. Fight for it!
