My Mother's Voice

I overslept this morning and a voice from my past arrived so vividly that I decided to share it with you. Remember, I have been involved in self-growth activities for about 50 years, so "I should know better," but I am no different than anyone else. It isn't about knowing, it's about being human. I intended to attend an early Yoga class but forgot to set my alarm. I thought about what to do and heard my mother’s voice in my mind strongly urging me to keep my commitment. The problem was that if I did that, I would not be able to eat breakfast. And I had a busy day planned. Like you, reducing unnecessary stress is high on my list of priorities. Logically it made sense to go to a later class, but the voice persisted. Fortunately, the Logosynthesis sentences are an important part of my world. I used "my mother’s voice telling me to keep my commitment" as a trigger and inserted it into the sentences. I felt immediate relief, ate breakfast and went to the later class. Try it yourself next time you hear a voice from your past you would like to release.

Book Excerpt

Letting It Go

It would be so nice to be able to never go back and let the past stay in the past. It just doesn’t work that way.

Stories teach us that healing takes work. In the extremely popular and successful Disney film, “Frozen,” the heroine, Elsa, lives a painful journey and travels through deep despair before she declares her freedom.

Several years ago Brian Klemmer, an experienced change facilitator, wrote a book titled, If How-Tos Were Enough We Would All Be Skinny, Rich and Happy. If you have ever experienced being unsuccessful at following someone’s instructions to “Just let it go!” often spoken in annoyance, you know that it takes more than willpower to let go of some kinds of distress.

That is true even if you really, really, really want to let it go. Somehow things seem to stick to you: hurt feelings because of real or imagined mistreatment, the thought of something bad happening to someone you love or a song you just can’t seem to get out of your head. You even tell yourself “Forgive and forget, just let it go, just move on,” but it's hard to do.

Holding On is Easier than Letting Go

The truth is that you have not been taught to use “letting go tools.” In fact, you come into the world with “holding on tools.” Your brain has evolved for survival! It notices every source of danger and stores it (or freezes it) so that you can quickly recognize danger without having to stop and think about it. It is automatic.

Automatic was wonderful when our human race evolved in the jungle and a fraction of a second could literally keep our ancestors from being eaten. The ones with the best programming survived and eventually produced you and me who live in a world with far different challenges. Part of the stress and anxiety you experience is your automatic brain responding to what it thinks is an emergency when your rational mind knows it is just a minor annoyance.

Many books describe this phenomenon. My favorite explanation is in the first chapter of Daniel Goleman’s classic book, Emotional Intelligence. He calls it “brain hijacking.” I sometimes think of it as an autopilot.
