Page 308 - Your Leader Within Introduction

Bob reports that he may spend hours opening up to the negative feelings. Again, much of our training and our culture has been taught to not feel, to not cry. We’ve become numb to feelings.
Recognize the familiarity of the feeling. When have you felt the feeling before? Try to go as far back in time as you can go. Feel it as you felt it as a child.
Express the feeling as best you can. Did you feel powerless? Unwanted? Not enough? Hurt? Etc. Let the tears flow if you’re feeling it that deeply.
Generally, most of our emotional patterns began when we were 6 years old or younger – consider Simran’s story.
This is the most important step. Feel it as deeply and as personally being there as possible. If you watched Simran’s video, you get a sense that, later in life, she felt it just as if she were still the 7-year-old child.
You could also tell that it had little negative energy for her if you were observing her talk. She had integrated it and moved on. That’s what The Method enables you to do.
Determine which of your birth parents most remind you as having this emotional state of mind – mother, father or someone very close to you as a child.
