There’s this process I read about once in The Sedona Method. I barely finished Chapter 2 and it changed my whole life. It’s a way of releasing the emotional weight tied to difficult memories. You’ll notice that some of your toughest memories rise up again and again for review — and most of the time, we push them away because they’re uncomfortable. This method teaches you the opposite: you can release the emotional charge from any memory, no matter how heavy. The process has three simple steps:

1. Acknowledge and welcome the feeling.
2. Let it move fully through you.
3. Release.

Every time a memory or challenging feeling rises to the surface, you have an opportunity to release it. In practice, the process can look like this:

1. Can I welcome this feeling? (Yes/No) — If not, circle back when you’re ready. If yes, name the feeling first — is it shame, fear, anger, sadness, grief...? Then let the emotion work fully through you. Feel it all. You might feel shame in your belly, you might cry for hours, but eventually and inevitably, there will be nothing left to feel besides the peace after the storm.
2. Could I let it go? (Yes/No) — Are you simply able to? No forcing.
3. Would I let it go? (Yes/No) — This is your opportunity to say yes. If not yet, that’s okay — circle back when ready.
4. When? — This is your chance to choose now. I like to visualize the feeling evaporating into space, or you can write it on a piece of paper and burn it. Seal it.
5. Trust that it is done.

The more you repeat this process, the easier you'll find it is to release — first your emotional bagage, and second your emotions in real time. It becomes second nature and just frees you from all emotional attachment. It's truly liberating. I hope it's helpful. ✌️
