Felix: When I look at my years of difficulty with this method, I see I was getting stuck in quite extreme anxiety most of the time when we’re talking about applying the method, or trying to have PCEs and stuff like that. I didn’t know what to do when I hit those barriers which I perceived as threatening. Feeling good seemed a literal impossibility no matter how hard I tried.
Now it’s totally different, anxiety or emotional pain or insecurity are just like a setting on the washing machine – not something to lean into or take seriously at all (other than to feel it fully and sincerely investigate). Don’t get me wrong, they are still powerful emotions – it’s just that I have a game plan when they take place now, one that doesn’t involve dissociation/ escape/ despair/ self-castigation/ further anxiety.
Hi Felix,
Welcome back.
You seemed to have used your time very successful, after a lot of trial and error, to finally succeed in finding “a game plan” which “doesn’t involve dissociation/ escape/ despair/ self-castigation/ further anxiety.”
This in itself is quite remarkable, especially to acknowledge, then recognize and decline dissociation and further to decline the follow-up above listed feelings as well.
Your last sentence confirms that it’s really working and it’s wonderful to read –
Felix: It’s crazy how when feeling good or beyond, this moment really is enough, and not something at all to be wasted. (link)
