Releasing is a pretty straight forward concept: simply "let go" of any thoughts/feelings/problems you might have — just like dropping a handful of dirt to the floor. There are many releasing techniques available. They're relatively similar though, so I'll discuss the two key ones I've found so far. If you're interested, both of these stem from discoveries …
Ever heard that saying "What you resist persists"? Ahh yes. I've noticed a few patterns in my life recently. In general, I've spent the last few years on a bit of a spiritual journey. Clearing out, well, pretty much everything. The downside to this is, as I've got clearer, what remaining crap is there has …
One of the toughest things about healing is this. Half the time we know something is wrong, but can't put our finger on exactly what the hell is going on. Why? Because our mind/ego has a delightful trait of trying to protect us by hiding things from our consciousness. This is why people get selective amnesia …

I had a realisation recently. Fundamentally, the only person that has any control over how I feel is me. I choose how I feel. So, any time I feel bad due to someone else's actions, I know that's just a pain body reacting. That's just my ego, getting in the way, hurting me, wanting me to feel pain. …
Ever catch yourself doing something really stupid? You watch it happening in slow motion, yet can't seem to stop yourself going right ahead and doing it? Now, there's a ton of things that fit under the heading of 'stupid', ahh, and by goodness, I've done a lot of them. What I'd like to talk about today is …
Confidence is a funny thing. It comes in two flavours. How confident other people believe you are, & how confident you feel internally. The two are related, but not necessarily linked. E.g., it's quite common that other people see us as more confident than we may actually feel. So how do you go about becoming more …
I talked about the mirror exercise a while back. I've used this quite a lot, & discovered a few extra tricks to really amp it up, which I thought I'd share. I Love You Paying yourself compliments is a good way to start, particularly if you're feeling down on yourself, but the single most powerful thing …

Why do we feel bad? It's a good question. An easy answer would be "because bad stuff happens to us", but what for one person would be a disaster, someone else might barely notice. So what's actually going on here? In a nutshell? We beat ourselves up. That little voice in our heads giving us shit. Yep, …
Sometimes life just sucks. Well, actually it never sucks, but that's a whole other story. Sometimes it feels like life just sucks. Everything seems to be going wrong. We're in a terrible mood. We ate some bad clams & the neighbour just ran over our poodle. In these situations, despite everything we know (in our brains), it can …
So let's rock this up a notch. We've already discussed that we are not our thoughts or emotions. We've checked out not verbalising negative thoughts. What's the next logical thing to do? Take it back a step, of course. If we're not our thoughts or emotions, well, who controls them? We do! We're the damn boss, & …
