As I practice these techniques I find that witnessing and releasing is becoming a little more natural. Sometimes I sit with feelings for a while (chewing them over, trying to think my way through them...) before noticing that I am lost in the drama of my psyche. When I become aware of this I often welcome the fact that life has hit my stuff because although it is painful I know that I am dumping that which is blocked within me. I have experienced and released some pain that I have been carrying for a long time and it feels good to be free of it.
"Life creates situations that push you to your edges, all with the effect of removing what is blocked inside of you. That which is blocked and buried within you forms the root of fear. Fear is caused by blockages in the flow of your energy...Fear is the cause of every problem...The purpose of spiritual evolution is to remove the blockages that cause your fear." (T.U.S., p. 73)
The way out is "be willing to open your heart in the face of anything and everything, and permit the purification process to take place." (T.U.S., p. 74)
Let go and allow the pain to come up into your heart and pass through you. You only have to feel it for a moment before it passes. Although we spend a lot of effort trying to avoid it, feeling the pain is tolerable, unpleasant but tolerable. And the reward is to live in freedom with an open heart!
