How to overcome negative thoughts and letting go practice.
If we take a closer look at the thought process and what thought is, we can notice that we don't control what though comes through if we not actively thinking in the moment. Thoughts just pop up in our head, and for the longest time we were just dealing with it, accepting it, debating it and paying all our attention to it.
Most of the time negative thoughts, anxiety and fearful thoughts are just unprocessed emotions, fears that lay dormant within, until we unpack our feelings and emotional attachments to it. We have become afraid of our inner feelings because they hold such a massive amount of negativity that we fear we would be overwhelmed by it if we to dig deeper. In reality, it's not thoughts that are painful but the feelings that accompany them. Thoughts in itself are painless, but not the feeling that underlie them!
Unprocessed feelings create pressure that causes thoughts. One feeling can create thousands of thoughts over a period of time, like painful childhood memory that lingers for decades. One terrible regret, one repressed emotion that stays hidden, unconscious. All we need to do is surrender the underlying painful feeling.
What is the surrendered state? It means to be free of negative feelings in a given area so that creativity and spontaneity can manifest without opposition or the interference of inner conflicts {Letting go by D. Hawkins}
With this knowledge, we can take every single annoying thought that comes in and unpack what's behind it, what fear and what believes are underlying this thought. After thorough investigation, asking yourself questions: Where this feeling coming from? what is the feeling that I avoid? When did this trauma happen? Why do I hold on to it? Ask yourself until you feel the answer, in your bones you can feel resolution. Because once you acknowledged the existence of the feeling it's halfway released.
Letting go means to be aware of the feeling, letting it come up, staying with it and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different. Letting the feeling to be there and focusing on letting out the energy behind it.
First, allow yourself to have the feeling without resisting it. Drop the judgement and just feel it. Be with the feeling and surrender all efforts to modify it in any way. Let go of fear and guilt about the feeling itself and about having the feeling. Ignore all thoughts, focus on the feeling itself. To be surrendered means to have no strong emotions about anything, it's okay if it happens, and it is okay if it doesn't.
Next step is repetition, every time you have reoccurrence of the thought, fears coming up, memories flashing in your mind. Pause, take a deep breath, and let go of the feeling. Making a conscious chois to let go of the pain, let go of the feeling, forgive and forget.
By continuously letting go, it is possible to stay in the state of freedom. Feelings come and go, thoughts appear and pass by, eventually you will realize that you are neither, but the real "you" is the witness. You stop identifying with thoughts, feelings and emotions, you just observing them always staying the same, happy and in peace.
