Releasing Beliefs

I have used the letting go process I teach, Logosynthesis, to release far more than anxiety and toxic stress in my life. Today I am letting go of the notion (belief) that I should only share thoughts about the material in this first book in the “Rapid Relief with Logosynthesis” series. The next book in the series is about letting go of beliefs and experiences that interfere with experiencing the abundance of the world. The third, as yet unstarted, book will be about letting go of stuff. I have also let go of the belief that I will write it any time soon, if at all. I will keep you posted. My current task is to let go of the over-busy way I have been living my life. This too is about letting go of a set of beliefs about how much I need to contribute to the world before I can relax and play. I adopted those beliefs a long time ago. They made sense at the time and have been very useful, but now, in my 80s, they no longer serve me. Using the powerful Logosynthesis sentences has helped me release many beliefs I unconsciously adopted because I once concluded that I needed them. Try it yourself and release old beliefs you no longer need.

Book Excerpt

Letting It 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.

Setting your autopilot is a way to make certain you hold on to protective decisions you have made over the course of your life. Holding on is always easier than letting go. We all hold on by leaving bits of our energy with memories of painful experiences to keep them from intruding into our everyday lives. Those were the experiences we did not have the resources to manage at the time they happened.

You Try to Protect Yourself by Holding On

It takes some of your energy to hold on or freeze your negative experiences, and that energy gets stuck in place and isn’t available for you to use to handle whatever is in front of you right now. So, paradoxically, something you did to protect yourself in the past causes a problem in your present life.

Sometimes we don’t have those resources simply because we are powerless children in a world of grownups. Sometimes it’s because the adults who should have been able to protect us are not immediately available for a variety of benign or traumatic reasons.

One toddler wandered a few feet away from his watching mother and encountered a stress that was toxic for him that other children usually did not find stressful at all.
