• We all get worries and stresses and anxieties
  from time to time. Nobody is immune its part
  of life. How we respond, though, is up to us. The
  mind body spirit practices Ive been using for 14
  years are the tools to overcome challenges and
  return to our natural state of inner peace and
  happiness.

• My latest challenge was a doozy. Its
  embarrassing to admit after all those years of
  daily practices that I cant always glide
  serenely through emotionally distressing
  situations, but I want to give you some insight
  into why and how I use one of these practices
  Releasing Toxic Emotions, so here goes

• Someone I had been close to decades before sent
  me a cruel, hurtful letter laced with intimations
  of love for me. Although I decided not to
  respond, I could feel the vibration of anger
  seething through my body as my mind kept chewing
  on his words. The weight of his meanness consumed
  my thoughts, making me fatigued and depressed.

8

• I tried releasing the gloominess. Still, while
  one part of me was saying I want to let go of the
  devastating, stressful mind chatter, another part
  was saying it really hurtand I want to keep
  playing this movie.

• Weighed down by what seemed like anvils on my
  shoulders, I finally decided to go for a long
  walk on a deserted path near my house to be
  swaddled and comforted by nature. After walking
  for a while, I felt prompted to use my practice
  for releasing toxic emotions I allowed my anger
  to build and spill out by recalling the details
  of that malicious letter, then I concentrated
  strongly on the intense feelings of rage his
  letter aroused. Next, I took the crucial step
  dropping the story.

11

• Heres the thing without the story, you cannot
  hold on to the negative emotion. Over and over I
  practiced re-living the situation and feeling the
  emotions of palpable fury as vigorously as I
  could, while keeping my mind from engaging with
  what had happened. Each time the story tried to
  weasel its way in, Id drop it again. And again.

• I continued this process until I could actually
  feel myself lightening up with the release of
  that negative charge. After a few minutes, that
  feeling of release grew more powerful than the
  anger emotion. When that happened, I spent a
  minute or so trying to see the point of view of
  the sender of the letter (not successfully), and
  I forgave myself for reacting so fiercely and
  allowing the problem to darken my day.

14

• Then I said prayers of gratitude and repeated a
  positive affirmation I choose to feel good
  the rest of the way home. Little by little, as I
  walked I could detect the subtle sensation of
  loving energy activating my body and a whisper
  of inner peace and happiness.
