When people visit me seeking guidance, they often tell me a story about longing to shed themselves of negative thought patterns, bad behaviours, and unpleasant emotions. These mental and emotional weights are seen by them as barriers hindering their journey toward the life they envision and achieving their dreams. Within mainstream psychology and spirituality, there is a prevalent notion of "letting go" as a solution to these internal struggles. However, despite its initial allure, the long-term efficacy of this approach is questionable.
In the short term, the act of "letting go" may offer some temporary relief, allowing individuals to navigate their daily lives without being burdened by overwhelming emotions. Yet, beneath this façade lies a deeper truth: "letting go" is merely a mechanism of dissociation, a temporary escape from confronting the root causes of the inner turmoil. It creates an illusion of separation, veiling the opportunity for genuine emotional exploration and healing.
How does this process unfold? When confronted with painful memories or emotions, our defense mechanisms spring into action, erecting a protective barrier that shields us from our inner wounds - a barrier I often refer to as "the wall." This wall is comprised of various dissociative processes aimed at deflecting uncomfortable emotions and avoiding their true significance.
Within this construct, the voice of "letting go" emerges as a deceptive ally, masquerading as a spiritually enlightened inner guidance. It persuades us to dismiss our pain and discomfort, urging us to transcend these earthly troubles through the practice of detachment and spiritual evolution.
However, this practice of "letting go" is founded on deception. External triggers merely serve as mirrors reflecting internal processes, offering us an opportunity for deep healing.
By choosing to "let go" of our emotions, we inadvertently deny ourselves the chance to address the underlying wounds they represent. Our internal wounds persistently resurface in external situations, triggering emotional responses until we confront and resolve them.
Instead of dissociating from our emotions, there exists an alternative path: diving deep into our feelings, embracing them fully, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing.
Consider this scenario: Your partner's sudden outburst triggers a surge of anger or frustration within you. Rather than suppressing this emotion, allow yourself to sit with it, to explore its origins and significance. Perhaps you will uncover patterns of unmet needs or suppressed voices stemming from childhood or past relationships. Through this introspective journey, you may begin to recognise the interconnectedness of your emotional triggers and unveil hidden emotional landscapes within yourself.
This depth of emotional exploration is what distinguishes those who have worked with Kundalini Bodywork. In our sessions and workshops, we don't shy away from our pain and trauma; instead, we embrace it as a mirror reflecting our shared human experience. By confronting our own walls and wounds, we gain profound insights into ourselves and the healing process.
Learning this form of healing requires dedication and a willingness to dismantle our life-long protective barriers. But through this journey, we can unearth the divine essence hidden within our wounds, paving the way for profound personal and spiritual transformation.
The practice of "letting go" is not only ineffective but also detrimental to our overall emotional wellbeing. It perpetuates a cycle of avoidance and denial, hindering our ability to achieve true healing and self-realisation. Instead, let us embrace our emotions fully, diving deep into the depths of our being to uncover the hidden truths that lie within.
Only then can we embark on a journey of profound personal transformation and true spiritual awakening.
