East/West Deep Process Release
Technique
More and more, we hear about the
importance of releasing feelings that have become trapped inside us.
Prominent authorities emphasize that these suppressed feelings are
a major cause of poor health - the unreleased negative emotional energy
keeps building and eventually manifests in the physical.
No less important is our basic emotional
well-being. Are we as balanced as we could be? Or is depression our
norm? Are our lives ruled by unconscious forces that impel us to do
things and make decisions we later regret? Is life a series of disasters?
Do we handle stress well? Do we know how to resolve our feelings so
we don't take them out on others?
And what about success? The inner
blocks we unconsciously maintain to manage negative feelings are the
same blocks that prevent us from realizing our full creative potentials.
Being aware of our emotional reality
and doing something about it has become critical. But when we look
for guidance, it's easy to get confused. Most often we hear the vague
suggestion that we should be sure to "express" our feelings.
But this is a suggestion based on little real knowledge of how we
operate as emotional beings. And what is "express" supposed
to mean? Are we to vent our feelings uninhibitedly, lashing out at
others who seem to hurt us? Or is it better to calmly discuss feelings?
Should we try to work off the energy through screaming, physical activity,
or beating pillows? If we just see things differently, will our painful
feelings go away? Can we re-condition ourselves to feel good? All
these and similar approaches are highly questionable. We need something
more sophisticated. We need an approach we can use all the time, on
our own.
Emotional Clearing is based on Random
House author John Ruskan's powerful, acclaimed, cutting-edge synthesis
of proven Eastern and Western psychological principles. Its holistic
view is that as we accept and open to all parts of ourselves, especially
on the feeling level, we move forward into healing and personal growth.
On the contrary, we have become limited and ill at ease exactly because
we have unconsciously rejected parts of our feeling selves, forming
our personal shadow. Even spiritual seekers can fall into this trap,
rejecting their painful, negative sides in the quest for higher consciousness.
Reclaiming, moving into greater wholeness on the feeling level, and
experiencing the joy that results from this union, even with the most
painful feelings, is what the work is all about.
EC's strength is in the unique,
safe way it empowers you to reclaim feelings. This is authentic feelings
work, addressing core issues and life healing missions. It is not
the quick-fix, but will give you the tools and understanding to effect
life long, permanent growth.
