THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Alpha state + Feeling tension = Disassociation

« on: November 20, 2025 »

Generally, we assume that binaural programs are temporary training aids that will not always be required once meditation proficiency is established. However, I am not comfortable that you are asking me to comment on your experience with other products. You have not indicated that you are using the EC method nor asked any questions about it. I think if you were to properly apply the EC steps, much of your anxiety would be eliminated.

For anyone else whose interest may be stimulated by this topic, note that I have an inexpensive Binaural Beat Meditation Program of my own. emclear.com>working on yourself>AlphaJourney.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Rational and irrational fears

« on: November 11, 2025 »

So sorry about the long delay in replying. There was a glitch with the forum that I did not notice and I have not been getting notices about postings. It’s fixed now.

Honestly, your story tends to infuriate me - that a ‘psychologist’ could be handing out such ignorant, harmful, stupid advice. This is a good example of cognitive psychology and how completely out of touch it is with the emotional / feeling aspects of true humanistic, holistic healing. It’s really pathetic, and just confirms my radical condemnation of cognitive psych that I have spoken about in my books.

OF COURSE your feelings are real. As I amply explain in my books, feelings, such as fear, are lodged in the subconscious from previous times and get PROJECTED involuntarily on suitable targets. It doesn’t matter if the neighbors are a real or imagined threat – your feelings are real and must be validated and then handled with the EC Process. Trying to judge rational or irrational is mental – it takes you into the left-brain and obscures right-brain processing that is the basis of our work.

Your story with FD illustrates how the traditional spiritual paths do not adequately confront emotions and feelings. Implying that they are to be ‘overcome’ results in a negative attitude towards them, which just suppresses them further into the subconscious. Instead, the more enlightened view is to accept and embrace them, so they naturally balance out and release.

Regarding your question, you may be taking things too literally – maybe that’s my fault. When we say move from the event to the feeling, we don’t necessarily mean to literally lose all awareness of the event. It’s just that we want to focus primarily on the feeling, and not the event. It’s no problem is the event is still there, presumably in the background. The main thing is to not lose the feeling, and whatever means you need to employ is probably ok. As you say, witnessing is key, but witnessing definitely means you are still with the feeling – you don’t lose the feeling when witnessing it. Same with detaching – you don’t lose the feeling, its just that your relationship to it shifts.

Compassion is nice, but it’s not the same as processing the feeling. You’re falling back into compassion maybe because you can’t stay with the feeling. Compassion is a reaction to the feeling, not the feeling. Same with feeling sorry for yourself – these are diversions the mind throws up to get in the way of doing the work. Put them aside and go back to the feelings. Compassion might be appropriate after you have successfully processed and released, but then you might not have any reason for it.

The key is to first, enter alpha – a deep hypnotic state beyond the everyday mind; bring up the event and the feelings; and take them through the steps. Don’t forget about using the breath and the 3rd eye – it can propel you into the altered-state.

Try practicing with the 3rd eye in your meditations to exercise it and really get the ‘witnessing - detaching’ perspective shift.

Sorry for the late reply - there appears to be a glitch with the forum and I have not been informed of postings.

Glad you have had good results with the ECP method. Parental blame is one of the tragedies of our human existance. Taking responsibilty for childhood trauma is key for geniune forgivess and not pseudo-forgiveness. You don't have to accept that you chose your parents, if you just accept that you were born with a subconcious that then projects and attracts experiences. I think the book explains it.

Great posting - it would help if you posted it on the Deep Clearing Amazon site as well. Thanks!

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Current emotional grief

« on: February 19, 2025 »

If there are intense feelings, we can usually assume that suppressed material is being stirred up by circumstances or has even contributed to attracting those circumstances, which we call projection. The important thing at this point is to acknowledge that you are in contact with core feelings – the rejection in the heart center. You take the feelings that you are aware of through the steps of the EC Process, as described in the Deep Clearing book. As you work with them, other feelings and past circumstances may come into view if necessary. An intense experience such as you are describing indicates a predisposition towards excessive emotional attachment and dependency. Processing the feelings that are coming up now is the opportunity to clear that condition.

You can use the programs as you see fit. Whatever you intuitively feel is probably best for you.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Struggling to Access/Feel Emotions

« on: January 03, 2025 »

This is a common problem. I don’t think you are doing anything wrong. I think it does get better over time as you continue with meditation, breathwork, and bodywork if that appeals to you. In our terminology, we would say it relates to dormant right-brain capabilities. I briefly discuss how to, over time, stimulate the right-brain with general activities in the beginning of the Deep Clearing book, but one of the best ways is to develop a dedicated Hatha yoga practice, which of course I also talk about in the books. If you are overlooking yoga, I would recommend this to start developing feeling ability.

The essential point of a yoga practice is to keep your attention focused on BODY SENSATIONS as you hold the poses. It's not about doing the poses correctly as much as feeling in the body what’s happening as you do them. These body sensations are a type of feelings that are generally easily accessible. As you focus on them, you are training and developing your capacity for feeling in general and this starts to tie into emotional feelings. The poses can also contribute to emotional releasings.

There is a page on the emclear.com site about the yoga connection, where I explain how to proceed and have a suggested sequence. You don’t need yoga studios, except maybe for a ‘Yin’ class.

As you are feeling body sensations, you should be conscious of whether you are in ‘the moment’ or not. Being in the moment is what you develop with meditation practice. It’s where the mind / thinking / left-brain completely stops, and you are focused completely on a body or emotional feeling or maybe nothing. That’s when suppressed feelings can pop into view and then you apply the EC Process to them. If you are still in the left-brain, perhaps even unconsciously, that can keep the right-brain unaccessed and prevent emotional feelings from coming forward. So that’s another way of looking at the basic problem – left brain is still dominating.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: New / Thanks/ Question

« on: October 15, 2024 »

The core feelings are related to the Power center. Being bullied, controlled, dominated, manipulated, abused, etc. There also appears to be some fear present that needs to be processed. We assume that all these feelings are trapped in the subconscious and are responsible for attracting the conditions you describe. From reading the books you should have a good idea of how to work with them.

As you enter alpha and start to access the suppressed feelings, you react with panic. The panic is a first-level emotional reaction to the suppressed feelings emerging; its not a suppressed feeling; maybe it’s just a conditioned response whenever you look inside. In any event, your work then shifts from the core feelings to the panic. Your priority is now to process and get past the tendency to panic. You do this by taking the panic through the steps, however long it takes, days or months. 

Don’t be afraid of the panic. Take it through the steps:

1. RELAX deeply as best you can with the induction and breath.

2. AWARENESS: Visualize your neighbor while keeping them outside your aura. Let the feelings come up and also the reactive panic.

3. ACCEPTANCE: Carefully apply all the principles of Acceptance to the panic. Don’t judge it or run from it. Become aware of your resistance to the panic and drop it. Be ok with the panic. Relax into it.

4. EXPERIENCE the panic as an involuntary energetic reaction. Feel it as an energy in your body. Be present. USE THE BREATH TO MODULATE THE PANIC. A gentle CONNECTED BREATH (as described in Deep Clearing) would work well here. You can breath and be present with the panic for the entire meditation session – 15 to 30 minutes.

5. WITNESS: The most important step. Step back and detach while being fully, non-judgmentally present with the panic.

Remember, you are making the panic to main focus of your work until it subsides, which it will of course do. Stay aware of any other feelings that jump up and take them through the steps.

Sounds like fun, no?

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Two questions: 1. learning TM while deep clearing and 2. dealing with inadequacy

« on: August 07, 2024 »

You are trying to accept with the motive to get rid of. This is not true acceptance.

There is nothing special about TM. There's a section on meditation in FEEL 3 which answers your question.

Sounds like you're doing good work.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Suppressed vs Repressed

« on: July 19, 2024 »

A feeling/emotion is considered to be suppressed when you are aware of it but do not handle it correctly so it becomes pushed into the subconscious. Repression means that the feeling/emotion never enters the field of awareness but is pushed automatically into the subconscious. Of course the process works for both. You become aware of these suppressed/repressed holdings with a dedicated meditation practice when they will jump up into the stillness or by paying close attention and identifying your projections.

At this point, you probably should not try to control or limit crying - it is part of the releasing process.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: losing the feeling

« on: July 17, 2024 »

It sounds like you are doing well with the process. I wouldn't be concerned with 'losing' it. It may be a matter of developing right-brain skills so you can stay with an inner focus, or it may be that your attention is allowing the feeling to diminish all it needs for that session.

The steps of the process are more like 'conditions' to all be applied simultaneously but we think of them sequentially in order to apply them.

It's not wrong to try to bring up a specific feeling as long as you don't get too left-brain driven.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Awareness

« on: July 01, 2024 »

The purpose of this session is to get you familiar with the chakra points. You may not necessarily feel anything when starting to explore and locate them, but as you work with your issues, you will be more likely to associate feelings and chakra energy centers so you can work with them in the ways the EC program describes.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Self-hypnosis

« on: June 14, 2024 »

Hypnosis, self-hypnosis, and meditation are all similar in that they induce the Alpha state. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis try to take advantage of the suggestibility of the Alpha state to recondition or reprogram the ‘subconscious’ mind towards more acceptable behavior. A classic application is to stop smoking. Suggestions are given to make smoking abhorrent.

While it may be possible to alter superficial negative behavioral patterns with contrary ‘positive’ suggestion, it’s my belief based on experience that the deep-seated negativity that we are concerned with in serious psychological work cannot be reconditioned but must be directly released. This is one of the major themes throughout my work.

It’s interesting that both Freud and Jung have stated in their writings that they tried hypnosis but discontinued the practice. They both do not elaborate further on how they were trying to use hypnosis, but I think it’s fair to infer that they were going along with the classic, traditional approach of trying to recondition. For example, if you discover a traumatic childhood event, you would visualize the event going differently, in a way that was pleasant. This kind of approach is exactly what does not work, but only serves as a band-aid, covering over the trauma, if it has any effect at all.

So while you can probably give yourself suggestions in the Alpha state to wake up at a certain time, it’s just not possible to change your suppressed negative feelings by suggesting that you are happy when you are sad, etc. Many current spokespersons however will give you exactly that advice. I once saw Bruce Lipton on London Real actually say that if you just repeat to yourself I’m happy, I’m happy….. you will be happy. Such an outrageously ignorant idea only drives the negativity deeper, and makes you wonder at the wisdom level of most people who are on the (promoted) forefront of today’s self-help movement.
