THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Current emotional grief

Thank you for taking the time to respond. That makes perfect sense, as I gave up all agency in order to not rock the boat and was walking on eggshells for years. I'm working my way through the book and practicing ECP every day.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Re: Current emotional grief

« Last post by John Ruskan 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.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Current emotional grief

« Last post by pauken25 on February 18, 2025 »

I recently discovered the emotional clearing process and fell that I've finally found what I was looking for. I stumbled upon some YouTube meditations that were very effective and brought up lots of emotion. The question that I have is that since I am now dealing with a very painful breakup that I did not initiate, the only emotion that I can access is the current pain and rejection, which is extremely intense, since my wife was triggered by something and abruptly devalued me and wants no contact.
Since the process deals with suppressed emotions, I'm wondering how to practice, since my emotions are not suppressed.
Once I enter the alpha state, the only emotion that rises to the surface is the pain of the rejection. I'm assuming that this pain is so intense, because besides the obvious current situation, I must have a suppressed rejection and inadequacy emotions. Is this projection, or just the pain of my current situation?
Any advice?

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

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Guided course recordings

« Last post by ceejay1962 on January 17, 2025 »

The guided course instructions suggests to use the "five conditions" recording for a while after completing the six week course. Is there a specific reason to use this recording, rather than, say, the  "witnessing" session. I quite like that one, as it gives more time to access the third eye at the end, which seems to align more to the books.

I suspect that I'm overthinking this - any thoughts?

Thanks

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 / Struggling to Access/Feel Emotions

« Last post by charlieo44 on January 03, 2025 »

Dear John,

I've found both of your books deeply insightful, and they've been valuable guides on my personal journey. However, I'm struggling with accessing and experiencing my emotions and feelings.

Despite knowing that I carry significant pain and suppressed emotions (which is reflected in my current life circumstances), I find it difficult to connect with these feelings. I'm practicing all the recommended techniques - maintaining a calm mind, breathing slowly, and cultivating witness consciousness through meditation. Yet when I try to access these emotions, it often feels like there's nothing there to find or feel.

I'm wondering if I might be doing something wrong in my approach. Could you offer any guidance on this? Could this just be part of the learning process? Maybe I need to be patient as I develop my emotional awareness over time?

Best regards

Charlie

Hi John,

I do appreciate and feel greatful for your time and expertise in clearly describing how I must proceed with the panic and how to work with it.

Some doubts have been perfectly clarified, so it will be much easier to engage in this pressing work.

I also feel very grateful for having made it look less dramatic thanks to your final sentence... those few & cheerful words have encouraged me a lot as well, together with as I say your time and generous answer.

Hugs

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?
