Dr. David Hawkins' Letting Go: A Transformative Practice

[@barbarast.dennis7073]

Thank you! Been a student of Dr. Hawkins for almost 20 years and like a lot of us, missed that simple paragraph in his most important book. Yay!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@barbarast.dennis7073 wonderful! He offered so much wisdom and this one is a real gem.

[@JacobLizotte]

Such an important and simple practice that I wish more people knew existed. Been doing this for years now as well. Once you make a habit of it everything clicks and yes life gets MUCH easier. Thanks for this.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@JacobLizotte totally agree that making it a habit is key! Thanks for commenting 🙂

[@artichaure7858]

I feel my feelings usually in back of my spine. Whenever a thought or story from that feeling arises I say "let it go" or "its just my stupid mind talking" and exale. Some feelings take 2-3 days and some weeks. Constant pain in the spine which my mind wants to resist. Eventually you will feel lighter. Let go of the resistance. Thank you for sharing this video. It's really important to share the wisdom of this book to the world where everyone is suffering constantly.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@artichaure7858 that sounds like some excellent somatic awareness you have and you know your process! Keep it up. And thank you for sharing.

[@jasminblocker7985]

Letting go is just accepting however you are feeling in that moment. It will go away instantly. Letting go is not breathing out bad emotions or resistance. Face it directly. If you are angry then say you are angry. If you are sad, embarrassed shameful, then say it. We dont need to attach deeper meaning to the feelings, but just observe the fact that it is there. Then everything becomes an act of graceful observance. No need to meditate or breathe it out or sit in it for days. This is letting go. It will be released without effort because it is our authentic truth. The truth of the observer. That I am-ness that is constant

Thank you

[@Invigilation]

Spot on - I was shown this by a healer, and have eventually learned that by allowing the feeling to be it does pass. Sometimes it can seem overwhelming, but I now turn and say "I see you, I feel you, I recognise you have a purpose' and it has been transformative. Sometimes I'll find the lesson/association/memory it's attached to and just acknowledge it exists in this form because I create it - even if it is in my subconscious, or not apparently under my control. It's so interesting as the lightness that comes afterwards almost gives a reason to generate more of the same! Years of EFT seemed to bring up the feelings but did not bring me much resolution, but facing the feelings has helped them to change their quality - so far, anyway.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@Invigilation wow, thank for sharing in such detail how you use the process and practice. I think it will benefit many who read it! I love that you acknowledge the purpose behind the feeling, which gives a sense of deeper meaning to the process. Thank you!

[@sjonuff]

Like you, I too, read the book and got to the end and was wondering exactly how to do it! Thank you so much for this!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Thanks for confirming I wasn't the only one! :)

[@mtbsperry]

I’m very grateful to find this. I am reading the book and felt the same way, ‘when is he going to explain how…’ Your simple exercise was super-helpful. 🙏🏻

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@@mtbsperry wonderful, glad it supported you!

[@christinelacedra3194]

Thank you for this post. Loved your kind encouraging gentle voice in the short guided section. I would love it if you did a longer version with the music as well, it would be so helpful .

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Thanks for that feedback! Yes, I've been thinking about a video dedicated to just the practice part without all the talk and background. Consider it on the list!

[@christinelacedra3194]

@ 👍🥰 great looking forward to it

[@Sofilomsa]

This book my # 1and I'm reading other D. Hawkins books as well and I love it ! And I've been practicing letting go already for 2 years or more and it really changed me and my life. ❤

[@ErinMunizG]

I’m so grateful to come across this video and your channel, I understand the process, did the guided letting go practice and I noticed a pain I had which had behind: fear, anxiety, hopelessness, victimization and with the little practice it helped me release most of it, thanks so much! Just subbed! 🙌❤️

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Very nice! Some times you'll find things release pretty quickly, and other times you are working with patterns that have been around for a LONG time and it will take persistence and patience. Keep practicing and welcome to the channel!

[@Mollybeepottery]

Really great video. Simple. Direct. Compassionate. Thank you for putting this together and for the reminder 🙏

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@thehappyhomesteadnh I appreciate your feedback and glad you felt the honesty, directness, and simplicity! Happy letting go 🙏

[@renateweber5167]

Thank you very much! This explanation is just what I needed.❤

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@renateweber5167 took me a while to understand it so simply and I'm glad the explanation is helping others too 😊

[@breakthrough8628]

After practicing similar techniques to allow energy to flow without stoppage by our emotions and suppression, I’ve realized the following following; My reactions seem to be stemming and repeated patterns. The more I do techniques like this, the less those patterns manifest With these techniques will cleanse your energy system And they actually reprogram your neural network So you reactions to something more calm and you find yourself having to do this exercise less and less

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@@breakthrough8628 I think you are exactly right about a release of patterning that takes place over time.

[@miaday9250]

So impactful. Thank you for this insight and experience. I will experiment with this. You have convinced me. Thank you!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@@miaday9250 so glad you are open to this practice! Please come back and let me know how it goes for you 🙏

[@ness2579]

I need to hear this. Am in deep pain for more than 3 yrs.. It's like a knife is stuck in my heart. No matter how much I let go sometimes the feeling comes back. Its like a curse. I ask God why do I have to feel this at my age. It's a shame but I feel the pain. Now and then I need to listen to different things preaching so I can cope up. I pray hard but seems God doesn't want to remove me from this situation and feeling. I just live by it everyday.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@ness2579 so sorry you are working through something so difficult 🙏. The practice in this video isn't "magic" but it can create more and more space for clarity. May you find it beneficial!!

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

Maybe. Its because. Resistance that keeps feeling going. And dont label the physical disorder as disease. Its just sensation. Even pain is a label.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@UniverseCreation-b5f yes getting beneath the label and experiencing the feeling as directly as possible seems to be the key.

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

@@PurposeLabChannel what do you think, why do humans suppress their emotions?

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@UniverseCreation-b5f there is a discomfort with certain emotions that I believe threatens the small ego version of ourselves and what we think it means to be happy. Unfortunately, we are not taught as children how to let emotions flow naturally 😕. Thank you for asking!

[@Nyfiken-8]

Really well put, I also conclude that this works if done properly (it takes some determination). Imagine how this could deflate all unnecessary human conflicts tormenting the world…

[@PurposeLabChannel]

I SO agree. First, that it takes determination to do this practice consistently. And second, that if we did this collectively MANY things would shift. Thanks for your practice!

[@shobyshifu]

This was beautiful ❤️

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Thank you! I hope you found the practice helpful.

[@fabiob.7070]

I confirm, it s life changing, I m doing it since two years and it fixed my anxiety issues. There s things that are harder to release, like traumas or things hidden in your subconscious mind. You explained the practice very well!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@fabiob.7070 thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad it's helping you. I agree that we can get better and better releasing the "smaller" things and those bigger things eventually get easier.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@TheKingsDaughter4227 much appreciated! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

yeah i know. the first step is to accept the feeling, and there are words in the sentence in the paragraph. "focus on letting out the energy behind it" is it just let it come out on its own or oh there is fear energy here then just throw it away/let it out or what do you think?

[@PurposeLabChannel]

As long as you are focused on the "energy behind it" I think you don't have to worry about the label of fear. That "fear energy" might end up transforming.

[@mathewharrison3537]

@@mathewharrison3537 you are welcome! 🙏

[@Christian_2511]

does this works in the case of anxiety? I have some pain in my chest. I know its nothing physically wrong over there is just a blocked emotion, and I don`t know how to handle it. A few times I managed to let go of it but it came back. I literally feel how the energy has been released from that area. But for some reason I can`t do it again. it seems like doesn`t work anymore. Thank you!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

According to Dr. Hawkins (and my own experience as well) this practice DOES help with anxiety. But that being said, anxiety comes in many forms and degrees, and it's likely not something a few sessions of this practice will completely release. I would recommend trying this practice IN ADDITION to whatever other tools or treatments you are using for anxiety to see how it might help by releasing some of those knots at the energetic level. Also, when anxiety is flaring, it can be tough to dive in to a practice like this, so it's good to practice with "lighter and easier" emotions and moments. I hope that is helpful!

[@Christian_2511]

@@PurposeLabChannel HI, to be fair, what I have noticed that works for me, its to quiet my mind totally like stop thinking at all, being totally present and the pain in the heart faded away. After that, I noticed that other feelings are coming up like sadness, grief. Maybe that pain wasn`t allow me to feel anything else like basically numb my feelings. Thank you!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Keep up the practice!

[@MarcinDrozdowskiMMM]

You made me to find this chapter in my Polish edition of the book which I am reading. Thank You so much. I also missed the exact technique of letting go. It works. Oh, how deeply it works.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@MarcinDrozdowskiMMM it seems to be a common experience for readers! Maybe that was intentional on Hawkins' part. Hope that passage in Polish is clear and meaningful for you.

[@MarcinDrozdowskiMMM]

Yes, thank You. His books are translated very well. And anyway even despite of high level content, sometimes difficult to understand from logic/analytical points of view, there is this "magic" transfer underneath the text content. I can feel it in very special way. All the best to You on your pathway.

@PurposeLabChannel I am still trying to figure out how to let go to begin with 😂

@mls5555 got it!! Keep us posted ☺️🙌

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

Any emotions want to leave, want to come n out by its own. Because it something automatic program survival in subconsiuss mind. But we tend to hold/suppress them in. In my opinion.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Yes, we tend to hold and suppress them. Dr. Hawkins talks about suppressing, repressing, and expressing, and none of those if a good long-term solution.

[@steffensp9287]

Started realising and letting go some emotions some month ago and life became so much lighter and loosener to me. I finally can be really happy while also be sad as the emotion comes up. Life becomes really emotional as the emotions come up to flow around. How is/was the prozess for you?

[@PurposeLabChannel]

I agree completely. In the beginning there are a lot of emotions that flow because they've been "contained" for so long. But holding space and letting the good and the bad feelings process definitely brings a feeling of lightness and possibility. I've found that in the long run there is less roller coaster of emotions and more stability and the releases are less intense. Everyone's journey is different thought. Thanks for your practice and keep it up!

[@lesleymcmillan1893]

I agree this is the way but sometimes and especially if they’ve been ignored for decades, when they finally are allowed, they can be ginormous, trigger the larger pain body physical sensations and be very distracting and not easy to be with. ‼️

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@lesleymcmillan1893 very true! For those bigger more ginormous items I often recommend a practice like breathwork if you can be in a space where crying and release without being self-conscious. Have you tried breathwork?

[@TheMistyHardin]

Was the process in this video just music? It seemed like you were speaking but I couldn't hear the voice audio, only the music audio.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Yes there was some guidance! Thanks for the heads up. I had to update the music for a copyright issue and didn't realize it had cut the voice.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

I adjusted it :) It may take a couple hours to update but I'd LOVE to have you try again with the guided audio.

[@TheMistyHardin]

​@@PurposeLabChannelthank you. I tried with the update and it did work. I found myself wanting to label the feeling and then thinking of where it might have come from until you said to release the story and just let it be. Before the minute was up the sensation felt lighter, as if the feeling had already passed and was no longer in my awareness. Hopefully I can stop and utilize this method more. 🙏🏻

[@PurposeLabChannel]

That's great observation and self-awareness. Sounds like it was important to have the voice over there so glad I got that fixed!

[@sallywilson1343]

Interesting. Lester Levenson began to teach his 'Letting Go' Sedona Method in 1952, so this is not new. The excellent Sedona Method is now taught by Hale Dwoskin.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@sallywilson1343 wonderful. Not surprised that this core practice appears from many teachers and traditions in some form 🙏

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

The art of not doing or reacting. "Letting go" when the survival program comes up just allow it to run its course. Simple but not easy.

[@PurposeLabChannel]

So true. Simple but not easy.

[@UniverseCreation-b5f]

@@PurposeLabChannel the final round is surrendering the fear of dying. Its the root of any emotions

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

I'm still not sure if I understand this process. Let's say you are thinking about something unpleasant from the past, then the feeling comes up. In order to keep this feeling going for 90 seconds, you have to keep thinking about the unpleasant event, otherwise that feeling disappears?!

[@PurposeLabChannel]

@halcyon-cg2eb great question! It's not so much you make an effort for it to last 90 seconds. When the feeling comes up you simply keep your awareness on it, focusing on the energy "beneath" the feeling and letting it flow. It may or may not last a full 90 seconds. The important thing is to just let it process without adding to the movie about it in your mind. I hope that helps!?

[@halcyon-cg2eb]

@@PurposeLabChannel Thank you for answering my question, yes, it is helpful...

[@buddyfisherofmen3821]

Let go…Easy words to Say, So Tell Us How?? Application….

[@PurposeLabChannel]

Yes you are right! This is a classic case of something that is "simple" but "not easy". One of the things I highlight in the video is that I read the whole book the first time and had the same question as you... what's the actual practice and application. Then I finally found it. About 3/4 through the video I highlight the exact instructions from Dr. Hawkins and then lead a short guided practice. See if that helps clarify!
