J. Yes The truth is safe to feel. When I deny my feelings, I deny a true part of myself. This hurts & then I blame others or even my own emotions for the hurt. It’s really the suppression of these feelings that hurts. When I stop blaming anyone (even myself) and feel my feelings, pain is relieved & I get more powerful.

I want to be more powerful. Score 5 points. POINTS:

K. Yes I structure the realities in my mind and I am the cause of my pain. If I’m in pain, my thinking is in error. My temporary low energy and negativity will surface and are safe to feel and release. These conditions are temporary if I breathe and release them.

I want to feel better. Score 5 points. POINTS:

L. What did I want to happen in situation instead of what did happen? (use positive upbeat language)

Score 5 points. POINTS:

M. I am Love. I am not upset for the reason I think. Denying my feelings is the main cause of my pain and upset. My error? A mistaken goal. I made this goal more important than staying connected to Love.

Score 5 points. POINTS:

N. Why is this happening to me again? I project my issues onto other people because my denied emotions (“drag-ons”) and hidden thoughts (“cling-ons”) attract experiences to me like invisible magnets. Letting go of my judgments reduces the chance of more copies of this experience happening. I let go of the thought that I need to be right …(or wrong).

X. Feeling is Healing. I see that when I neglect my feelings, I turn them into angry, fire-breathing “drag-ons”. When I set them free, they turn from “drag-ons” into powerful forces ready to help me in my life. As I feel, I heal! Because I am learning from my feelings instead of ignoring them, I can now create what I want in my life. I choose to accept more & more
responsibility for my feelings and actions. I pardon
myself for not accepting these parts of myself before.
