@@markdjembe I'm glad the RUclips algorithm has lead me to your page. What is the name of your Facebook group. Id like to get some personal accounts on peoples experience through relax and release. It's been almost 2 months for me and I'd definately say it's not easy. For the most part my emotions tend to come in continuously. And I find myself relaxing to have it ease out only before another wave comes in. I have had some successes, in the first month my primary emotion was immense anxiety, one morning I succeeded in completely releasing i and I felt a surge of energy that felt amazing. Once that energy subsided, I've been left with various other emotions that I've been struggling with since.

This is outstanding! I've been doing this work for years, for myself and my clients and this is a beautiful description of what is very important work. I will share this for sure. Thank you for putting this out there. The spiritual work or soul work as I might call it, must include methods for releasing stored emotional energy. This is a simple and lovely technique that honors your experiences.
Thank you for making this. I love Mickey's teachings because they are so down to earth in explanation. However, I must say that I've struggled to figure out how to apply the 'relax and release' process that he talks about so often because I found it (ironically, as it's an absolute key) to be one of the few abstract concepts in the teaching. This video is a superb translation of abstract terms, in a spiritual context, into simple and practical steps. Most importantly, these steps are easy to remember at the crucial moments in life when emotional fluctuations arise.
R&R is a super super subtle practice that develops over time. Any at effort gets in the way of relaxing? Overtime this develops all on its own. If you are on Facebook, look us up. Our website is www.untetheredsoulgroup.com That will further give you the link to our Facebook page

@@untetheredsoulbookgroup sure, I understand, thanks. I just meant it would be nice to listen to the contents with closed eyes instead of having to read them. Just my opinion.
Thank you! I really appreciated this. Question: my impression is that Mickey meant "disturbance" quite generally. As in anything that gets the egoic/personal mind going. I drive by a stop sign and being a crossing guard as a child, then start thinking about my best friend in fourth grade, summer camp...the surface of my inner "pond," is no longer still, even though the waves my be pleasant to me.
yes any non-peace body sensation or personal mind activity. non-peaceful stuff is coming up to leave our system, to purge and we don't let it because we (all of us) close down which pushes down the very thing that would help us feel better. Your INNER spicket is open and peaceful, so your energy system says this is a good time to let some old stuff go, when I say old, it could be from five minutes ago, 10 minutes ago, 40 years ago. But it's usually last in first out. So back to what I was saying, you're relaxing and having a good old time with your day and your body says it's safe to purge some of the old crapola, so it does that and most like it's something that is not peaceful (what stored with paid comes up AS pain), e.g., body sensation or a thought (when you catch it early enough, you catch it as a simple body sensation in the heart, belly, throat, etc, but that's usually only for the easy stuff so no worries if you can't catch it early before there's lots of thoughts, this is why your doing your practice of relax and release to eventually catch the crapola coming up as body sensation). Again, you're relaxing and having a good old time with your day and your body says it's safe to purge, let go of some of the old crapola, so it does that and doesn't feel comfortable and you close down your heart before you can catch it. The closing down your heart does two things it makes the discomfort worse and it make the crapola go back to long term storage in the body. But yogis like you know the just noticing this discomfort growing is 90% of the work and we can do something about it since we noticed it. YeY for us. As you get comfortable or grateful for this discomfort you'll be able be the noticer and be aware that this discomfort is special and you want to help your body get rid of this stuff. And you realize that by relaxing when the discomfort comes you'll be able to get rid of a lot of crapola that's creating lots of little too big discomforts throughout your day. Yogis look at emotion discomfort as a golden opportunity that it is to relax and let go. They are light diggers (like precious metal diggers) for as they uncover and let go of the dirt the light comes up naturally for long periods of time and when some darkness or crapola come up this is a special time to bring more like by getting rid of things blocking the natural light, spirit, shakti, chi flow. This is why we are here to love the crapola more than anything else, welcome the crapola, bring out the red carpet for the crapola. However you want to think about it being grateful for discomfort allows you to be relaxed as the passing of the blockage goes through. As you relax in the face of discomfort, you'll be more comfortable the next time it comes up... which is HUGE. Thank you.
In my opinion, disturbance is anything that you notice in your body that non-peaceful - thoughts, images, words, smells, tight or tense muscles. Relaxing and Placing your full attention on disturbance creates energy flowing again. I'm not a doctor but I think much like a heart value... tension prevents flow and relaxation creates flow. Or like the value at the top of the stomach. Tension causes thoughts, images, words... that are disturbing to our equilibrium.
I've asked Mickey that question and he said that it's an internal leaning away the intent is to relax and the leaning away occurs naturally. When you are leaning away at the same time you are leaning into the seat of Self. It's all an internal experience and you may find yourself physically leaning back also.
Hi thankyou for this. I have a question. Whenever I try and relax info the disturbance I get a huge urge to move my body kick my legs and my teeth chatter (I have complex ptsd). Should I fight tbe urge to move which is what my body wants to do? Or shpuld I remain still and ignore that and try and relax? Thankyou.
If you really need to move then do so however, label that urge as sensation when you notice it. This may help. It may be part of the feeling associated with the samskara that you are trying to release. Maybe clench the muscles in your legs, and then relax them while thinking 'release'.
Yes So I would actually suggest you learn something like EFT Tapping along side of this. EFT Tapping is amazing for PTSD and working with a therapist to make that happen. But to answer your question what I would do is that I would put my full attention on the sensation of wanting to move and see if you can relax not it but relax yourself behind the disturbance and again EFT will help with this dance.
Hi Rob & Mark, Thank you so much for making this video. I watch it a lot and it has really helped me understand the subject - object relationship on a deeper level. And slowly but surely understanding myself as awareness. The realisation that our attention/awareness is our Spirit/Higher Self has made a big difference. It's not so nebulous anymore. I have a few questions I hope you can help me with. 1) When you mention the 'heart', are you referring to the physical heart or the heart centre or our emotions? 2) In the video you mention chi, shakti, prana. Is this the same as our awareness, Spirit or Higher Self? If not what is it? 3) In regards to letting go, I always thought I had to let go of something. Is it as simple as observing 'the disturbance' from awareness? And I guess letting go of my resistance to feeling uncomfortable? Thank you for your help, Will
1. The heart space in the middle of you chest. 2. Chi, Shakti and Prana are the same as spirit. Awareness and Higher Self is a little different. Awareness, in my opinion, is your ability to Notice, either inside (thoughts, images, of body sensations) or ourside in the enviroment 5 senses. The Higher Self is when you are less attached to what you notice and because you are less attached or fused with what you notice you can actually relax and release. Make sense. If not feel free to ask on our fb page at facebook.com/groups/michaelsinger
VEry important, but too much anxiery was raised by the speed, I am a ffast reader but losr the last 3 to 5 words much too often for comfort, Thank you.
Good question. And I would say to yourSelf "GOOD" I'm glad it here because it gets me to do the R&R. Living in Gratitude for disturbance is the deeper practice. If it doesn't go away for years say "GOOD". I like to use the mantra Mickey talks about "I can handle this." Eventually you use "I can handle this" that it will be going on in the background 24/7 and you will not care if there a feeling that you want to release. You are feeling joy even with the disturbance. Read the book Living Untethered for more steps to this process. You are just beginning what you are talking about is masters level. So let yourself be a beginner. I've been doing it for 6 years now and I'm still a beginner and maybe I have not gotten rid of the big stuff but I've gotten rid of a lot of letting things which makes space for the bigger stuff to come up. I also recommend doing Transcendental Meditation.... that helps get rid of samskaras daily 20 minutes twice a day automatically.

Live in tsunamis. Nothing in my existence is permanent but me. It cycles through changes but I have a worse way I'd love to do. You would basically be using Morse code but worse case would finally be set by me so it couldn't get any worse.
That video is beautifully put together. Especially like the end part where it states, it may take repetition but keep at it.
This was so helpful !! Thank you very much for this perspective.
Thank you. Love the summing up part at the end too.

I thought you had to actually physically lean away from the disturbance! Please correct me if I am wrong! I am struggling, maybe this is why!

Just hit pause. I watched it at 1.75x speed because I found it too slow.
you can change the speed if you'd like and you can turn off the music.
What if this feeling i want to release is always there and it is not recognizable as any emotion?
