The Power of Letting Go: How to drop everything that's holding you back

Product Information

For instance, he tells you to "just keep telling yourself your painful story until you get bored with it" and then doesn't tell you what to do if you don't get bored with it... if it's still just as painful every time you think about it. Granted, that's what therapy is for and he DOES have a disclaimer to discuss this with your healthcare or mental health provider... but if I'm going to do that, why do I need your book, Purkiss? Let go of your need to be attached to things. Things come and go. Let go of your attachment to things and focus on the experiences you have. He overgeneralizes, confuses correlation with causation, and commits the ultimate sin for anyone who aspires to the title of a scientist: he accepts (and peddles) as “true” what has not been proven to be true. So you will know because you have no more negative emotions within yourself about anything or anybody. #5. How to Handle Past Traumas people who accept themselves as they are do not feel the need to hide qualities which some people may not like.

Do thoughts like “I could never be alone” or “I’ll never find someone else who loves me” constantly run through your mind ? Understand that these are not facts – they are limiting beliefs , and while beliefs have the power to create your world, you have the power to transform them. Replace them with empowering beliefs like, “I am open to what the universe has in store for me” and “I love myself and deserve the best.” You may feel silly at first, but when you use these positive incantations as part of your daily routine, you will see results. 3. Change your storyHis teachings around mindfulness are generally oversimplified and cover only a subset of known mindfulness techniques used in buddhist practices and in mindfulness psychology. The former he seems to not really like even though he reuses the classical anchor meditation in different versions in his exercises (selling each as different or not understanding the common denominator). The latter he obviously has no clue about. He seems to be largely into a very spiritual and traditional hinduism Vedic practice and transcendental meditation. His explanations for why those practices and classic meditation techniques work are largely useless and oversimplified. The book is useless and misleading to anyone who wants to learn about meditation. 2 stars, because some exercises were indeed interesting and usable with modifications and sometimes I did recognize statements of an obviously quite experienced meditator - but not one who understands why and how it works. And also not one who can teach it well. I find this highly offensive coming from someone who tries to portray himself as a scientist and who has actually gone through scientific training. Let go of your fear of the future. The future is uncertain, but that doesn't mean it's going to be bad. Let go of your fear and trust that everything will work out.

And if that weren’t enough, he adds a little later that some of them can also see the bio-energy field around people called the “aura”. He espouses the exercise to observe things as WHAT they are........not something attached to your feelings/judgement. The example I like was - A ferrari car makes you feel poor (hey.....wrong feelings, ok? ) versus A ferrari car is a mode of transportation ( a better way to see it so you don't feel bad about not having one!)Do not resist it, do not judge it, and do not try to change it. You will face resistance to letting go, sit with it without resisting the resistance pain patterns or incompletions are based on suppressed emotions which can rule our lives for decades. Let go of your need to control everything. You can't control everything that happens in life, so don't try. Let go and trust that things will work out the way they are supposed to. surrender isn't the same as giving up or doing nothing. It just means that we stop trying to make the world conform to our fixed ideas about how things should be.

relationships develop naturally when we no longer feel the need to fix ourselves and everyone around us.Albeit there are many good takeaways here, the 1-star vote is a moral obligation when a scientist claims scientific rigor where there is none. The author then dedicates a portion of his book to all the negative feelings that we are bottling up and that we should instead let go of.
