Bless Your Thoughts: Why would anyone continue with Depression, Grief, Rage, and Blame one minute longer than necessary?

We are conceived with Joy, Happiness and Optimism. BUT, when the reality of a loved one who COMMITS SUICIDE creates DESPAIR, that despair becomes a real and tangible facet of our life.

I am sorry to say, I am a survivor of my own Mother's suicide of October 8th 1976. My life experience of grief and anger, fear and anguish was overwhelming. These emotions contributed to considering suicide myself  in 1984.

I am enthusiastic to say, this occurred in a short period of time. Stating truthfully, and with integrity, this significant change occured in less than 30 days. Thankfully, and joyfully, Dan Roden brought me through the process, which I now call Abreaction, Desensitization and Emotional Reframing.

How does Emotional Reframe assist someone after a truly devastating experience, such as suicide of a loved one? And how in as little time as a month could this be true?

This document tells the story, with JOY... Complicated Grief

As individuals’ life experiences are different, each of us has facets of worry, concern or sadness, which cause us to ruminate before sleep, further causing our minds to run rampant. The emotional reframe allows us to release the aspect of blockage, which is creating the 'grinding' on that emotional thought or experience. That extreme sadness, without words, and without human language causes the great despair of grief. The sadness, we carry into sleep, and wake with, can be addressed. The reframe allows us to shift out of sadness, anger and fear, rage, despair, and again find optimism. When we work diligently to reframe these emotions, the optimism becomes freeing, while continuing to honor that person in love.

Isn't that what you'd desire for a child who has just fallen down? To get back up, and continue moving forward without staying stuck in the memory, upset, hurt or sadness connected to the fall? To not let the pain of the fall overwhelm them the rest of their lives, filling them with anger, fear, and emotional dread for the future. Wouldn't you prefer that child hold optimism for what lay ahead- the fun of participation, achievement, interaction with friends?

 

The Emotional Reframe causes us to consider and choose: A or B ...

A) The memory of my Mother in Death; the last picture of saliva dripping from her mouth, blood dripping from her nose, and the smell of car exhaust.

B) Swimming lessons and the smell of baking cookies. The 1st batch from the oven, too hot to eat with my Mommie. Just as she was, in the pool. or in the kitchen, just the way I joyfully remember her.

The shift is emotional rather than logical. You can rewrite and reframe any event, and thereby shift its emotional impact.

This is most effective and achieves the "HIGH NOTE" while in profound relaxation. - Unfortunately, most people don't recognize they have a choice as to what emotion they have chosen. Most people don't know, they can choose to NOT keep the bad feelings. Now that you've read this...how would you talk to your little child, and how would you hear that child speaking back to you? Would you prefer to become so relaxed that you have new clarity to choose your feelings?

You see, the emotional reframe is available to allow us to choose the best, ONLY when we have the calm quiet sense of choosing for ourselves as if we are speaking to a 5 year old child. It's too bad we didn't learn this before life's emotional events captured our attention, and emotionally hold us hostage from being loving and caring to others.    

Can you consider this possibility, Emotional Release and the rehearsal of talking to a child, hearing that so that you can move out of the event.

The practice of Abreaction, Desensitization and Emotional reframing is deceptively simple, and easy to dismiss. I've heard and seen people complicate this simple process. It's outside their experience. It is natural to reject the unfamiliar. It is natural to look to experts, who may not have this experience to validate this. But of course, without the experience of tasting a peach can someone validate that a ripe peach with the sweet juice dripping from your chin, is an experience and pleasure that cannot be fully explained with human language. 

Now, without cliché, and again, without repeating your emotional hurt, please consider my offer, the offering from my heart to allow yourself to believe the better is available for you. Please hear my offer, this process breaks the long standing belief that emotional binds require years to resolve. In this process, the binds may melt away in hours. You see, it’s possible to shift as many as ten emotional changes in an hour, through this process. Essentially, it’s a negotiation!  Setting an agreement, which drives the expectation on an emotional level. Yes, emotional level and not intellectual! Can you expect an emotional reframe to occur in 5 minutes? So, why is 10 an hour difficult? Why make this difficult? 

That’s the problem – isn’t it? You would like it to be easy, but you continue to choose to hear and hear again yourself say, I’m right!- HE or SHE or THEM- it’s their fault! In that, you’re digging your hole deeper; continuing to ruminate in the anguish. This continuing to ruminate in the past is the emotional fixation. This unabated habit precludes joy and optimism.

What NEW emotional experience do you wish to have in the future, when you open the memory of the past?  -Can you hear how this processes sets your expectation for Love, Joy, Happiness and Optimism to become real? Even when it is applied to death grief and depression?  IF, you were to examine the original process, which set the bad feelings to begin with, you can perhaps see how it was this technique which laid the bad feelings to begin with!

You established your bad feelings deep in your spirit, your psychology and in your soul when you carried the anguish, or anger or fear or all of these emotions into your mind when you drifted off to sleep. This is how many emotions are learned, as the last thought when you transition to sleep.

 I’m suggesting you use the same technique, to establish the good feelings, which you’ve intellectually chosen to feel. That is become deeply relaxed and then CHOOSE which feeling you want.

But, for many people, they are unfortunately telling their own "small child" to remain in the fear or anger, which they live in daily as if that day (the day they stored the traumatic event) were the only day. 

How would you suggest a child change their perspective?  Would you not want someone to help guide a child to give up the emotional binds which prohibit them from accessing all that is possible in life? Without teaching the therapy here, just find the possibility that when a person is deeply relaxed, and they hear their own words, in thought, as if they were gently talking to a child, with encouragement and love…this technique breaks the stuck-ness and make great progress for themselves. The unbelievable aspect of this is that YOU take your own advice into your heart, and begin to find the emotional release. Once the emotional release occurs (the abreaction), you too, can step out of the blame, anger, grief, debilitation all the rumination has caused. Isn’t it time to live with joy happiness and optimism again?

Comments>Seminar Recognition

A kind man asked me: Do you like bad feelings? ... Do you want to keep your bad feelings?

These 2 simple questions made me realize, I have a choice! And in that choice, I could remember baking cookies and swimming lessons. BELIEVE ME! The emotional reframe around cookies and swimming is so unbelievable, that when the overwhelming smile shows on my face, it becomes obvious which memory I am living in. This is how I choose to Bless My Thoughts. If this reframe required an hour or 10 hours to accomplish, that small investment is huge, over a lifetime!

How do you choose to BlessYourThoughts?

These 2 simple questions led me to find and achieve the shift in as many emotional binds, as fast as possible. These shifts changed my life in less than 30 days. I've brought these same emotional shifts to other people. They too asked themselves: "Do I like my bad feelings? Do I want to keep them?” The expectation was set!  Agreement to move out of the past, set the next action. For each person it is always their resolution, in their way, in their encouragement, just the way they need to hear it.

This is available to you. It's for you too choose. I invite you to be courageous, and give yourself the gift of yourself.

CHOOSE TO BLESS YOUR THOUGHTS....

Which would you suggest a 5 year old remember? Negotiate your new choice, and create the feeling you would like a child to live and grow with. Now, here’s the most comfortable part… in deep relaxation, hear your own advice!

The story of Dan Roden and how these techniques changed my severe depression into Joy, Happiness, and Overwhelming Optimism is available in manuscript form, which will eventually be published as a national best seller. Please contact me as to how you may receive your pre-publication copy. Letters of Recognition <click to read letters.

The discussion about Abreaction is taught in this video, which was recorded without professional equipment. Negotiation/Agreement/Expectation (Class at Mount San Jacinto College –My personal thanks to Richard Kandas) This presentation is for teaching ‘technical terms’. Hopefully you find something, which is educational here. This presentation on Abreaction is different from mainstream psychology or drug therapy for depression. This is what cleared my personal depression in 1984.
