Thank you so much for clarifying it and for giving the same importance, care, and attention to every kind of feeling.
It seems we still live in a world of darkness, that’s why your work is so essential and necessary. I feel greatful and fortunate to have discovered it.
Thank you so much for your explanations.

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

Many thanks, John.

I'll be sure to follow the EC steps. I'm only in the beginning phases of this release work. Pardon me about asking on behalf of other products, my question was on the basis of releasing in general.

Cheers. I have since purchased Emotional Clearing.

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 / Alpha state + Feeling tension = Disassociation

« Last post by Hmaqsood on November 19, 2025 »

Hello John. Only recently discovered your work, I appreciate that you filled in the gaps where other well-meaning schools of thought missed the point i.e. how to actually release/feel and the nuances behind it.

My question is regarding binaural and alpha states. A technology that I purchased (which cites your work, "iAwake") has a strong means of nudging to alpha/theta for emotional release. I find the technology with meditative steps gives me great feeling with training wheels experiences, though I can't replicate this without binaural beats. Are we always going to need alpha technology to do this work? Is it normal to feel disoriented/overwhelmed regardless of an emotional release or is that an indication of not being a good candidate for Binaural Technology?

After sessions, I'll feel a huge relief, however, I'm extremely disoriented, frazzled, and dealing with instrusive thoughts. For context, I'm already dealing with a hyper sensitive nervous system/post viral syndrome - So my body is always in 'tired/wired & fight/flight modes. Emotional releases 50% of the time make me feel better immediately, 50% other times, it's destabiliizing followed by eventual relief. I found this to be the case with many therapies like BioEnergetics (loud expressions) and Emotion Code. It's okay if you wish not to speak to those. Is it possible to still do the inner work regardless of the physical reactions I have?

Your answer and insight would be super helpful, thanks John.

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 / Deep Clearing

« Last post by susanrrp on September 20, 2025 »

Hi John, I wanted to thank you for your book, Deep Clearing.  It expanded on a blog I read about experiencing your emotions without resistance. After reading the blog I was able to reduce the severity of my anxiety dramatically by giving in and feeling it for what it was instead of trying to figure out why it was. Frankly, I was amazed how quickly it dissapated. That's the reason your book resonated with me. I've been to therapy on and off and no one has ever touched on this. Talk therapy has not helped as it only seems to bring my feelings to light but doesn't provide a way that works to overcome them. So my journey to self help began. I'm looking forward to engaging in the process as I have come to understand there are many suppressed feelings under the surface that I act upon. I will say that I found the part about attracting the parents I have because of unresolved negative feeling energies in a past life difficult to wrap my brain around.  It's difficult to think that a child can be deserving of a traumatic childhood. I've always been on the fence regarding reincarnation however I do find it fascinating. Mostly because of the cases of children that appear to have experienced something that speaks to another lifetime. The stories are quite compelling. But I guess I need not focus on that part.i am at a point where I realize the trauma I experienced from parental figures but still have significant anger and resentment towards them which I need to let go of and understand that it's my responsibility alone to heal from at this point in my life. Thank you again for your insightful book.  Regards, Susan.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Rational and irrational fears

« Last post by Mariaonsea on September 04, 2025 »

Dear John,

In a therapy group about anxiety that has been recently held at my Health Center, the psycologist said that concerning irrational fears we should look for distraction since they are not real fears, and that we should only pay attention and work with the rational fears.

To give you an exemple relating to my case: seeing that my neighbours are out in their garden, cleaning, watering, etc. makes me feel afraid because of many problems I had with them in the past, I feel as afraid as if they were going to hit me. Those are the irrational fears the psy was refering to.

I am a little bit confused because all my "irrational" fears come from years of being bullyed by this people, they have even climbed over my fence and destroyed many things in my garden, that is why I feel afraid to any mouvement of them, even when they don't do anything bad to me. I am alert all the time. Just thinking that they could do something bad to me makes me feel afraid, even if they are not at home. I feel afraid thinking that they will come back soon.
For me those are real fears, but for the psy they are irrational because my neighbours are not there and have not done anything wrong to me and that moment.

I work with my emotions following your method as much as I can, but now I have this doubt.

Could you please tell me if there is really any difference between irrational and rational fears when it comes to working with them, processing them?

Thank you so much.

THE EMOTIONAL CLEARING PROCESS / Questions about meditation

« Last post by virginia on April 29, 2025 »

Hi John,

Thank you so much for your books, and for this forum. I am someone who practiced Falun Dafa for over ten years, so I do have some experience with meditation. However, last year I developed chronic neck pain, which I finally managed to get under control using an emotional exercise called Journalspeak. I realized through reading Dr. John Sarno’s books and listening to Nicole Sachs’s podcast that my neck pain was a product of suppressed emotions. I also realized that part of the reason I had been suppressing my emotions was because of my understanding of Falun Dafa, which does teach that the emotions are something to be overcome. The problem is there is very little real guidance as to *how* we overcome our emotions. Long story short, I left off my ten year practice of Falun Dafa, a very painful and drawn out process. Sometime along the way I came across your work, and your books have really resonated with me, and I feel like they are offering me a new way forward. So thank you very much.

I have a question about the meditation. Maybe I’m just not good enough at it yet. But I’m having trouble when bringing up an event and associated emotion to drop the event or person who caused the emotion and focus only on the emotion. It’s like once I’ve dropped the event or person and try to drop the blame I lose the emotion. So it’s difficult to have the direct experience when I’m not thinking of the particular event. The same thing happens when I enter the witness. At that point we are supposed to detach from the emotion, though, so maybe it’s okay that I lose touch with the emption at that point? Infind that when I try to enter the witness the feeling that sometimes comes up is compassion. I feel really sorry for myself. Like I see myself as though I were an observer and I feel pity for myself. Is that okay? I feel like this may not really be the witness? I hope my questions makes sense.

Once again thank you for this wonderful resource, and I look forward to hearing back from you.
