1. The Essence of This Issue

In every recurring personal problem, or limiting belief, there is always a part of us (usually unconscious or subconscious) that 'gets something out of it' (or is served by) the problem or unwanted belief. When I say this, it is not a judgment of any sort. And it may have been a perfectly logical reason at the time the belief was originally created. It's simply that it is no longer logical, our subconscious just doesn't know that.

2. Some Thoughts On Healing!

A variation of this short article appeared in my newsletter of June 2000. I'm including it again here to begin a series of exercises (my own, and guest exercises) that work with these principles.

"If you want to shrink something,
you must first allow it to expand.
If you want to get rid of something,
You must first allow it to flourish.
If you want to take something,
You must first allow it to be given.
This is called the subtle perception
Of the way things are."

---Tao Te Ching, Translated by Stephen Mitchell

Comments from Richard:


The above quote from the Tao brought to mind so clearly much of the work I am doing with my clients in releasing stuck situations and long-standing issues. This advanced release work is based on the following principal:

For every stuck situation (regardless of whether it is around money, relationships, self-confidence, you name it) there is a side of you that is resisting the situation (can't stand it) and there is a side of you that is attached (wants it that way). It is a polarity problem and the client is stuck right in the middle, between the two forces. Most often when we are in a situation that we can't stand, we see only the one polarity, and we push against it. We are usually blind to the side that wants it. So the "pushing against" seldom, if ever, works! And it always drains our energy.

If there weren't both of these polarities, the attachment AND the aversion, the issue could not exist! So most effective release work is designed to release on BOTH sides of the issue. Then we clear both sides and clean it up completely so that we can finally be free again! It's quite powerful, actually.

What persistent issues have you been 'getting something from'?

In the next issue of this newsletter, I will give you a simple energy exercise you can use to begin working on your own healing in this way.

3. Food For Thought

"If you've ever felt a lump in your throat while upset, or gotten 'butterflies' in the belly while nervous, then you've already felt your chakras at work".
--- Anodea Judith


"Psychiatry generally views the long-term effects of trauma to be incurable. But my work over 35 years indicates that trauma is not only curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for deep transformation in a person's life."
--- Peter A. Levine, excerpt from 'Healing Trauma'.


"I searched through rebellion, drugs, diets, mysticism, religions, intellectualism and much more, only to begin to find…that truth is basically simple—and feels good, clean and right."
--- Chick Corea
