Letting Go Clears Space for Something New

 Recently I had a dream about my son John. In it, I sensed he had been having troubles the night before. When I called him and expressed this, he confirmed this – girlfriend trouble, more specifically. He was feeling crushed and emotionally overwhelmed. When emotionally intense situations have arisen in the past, my son has often turned to drug and alcohol to alleviate his feelings.

On the phone, I talked him through the process of calling up the emotions and releasing the pain and the girl while replacing these feelings with love. I told John about the energy choices in front of him: attaching to this girl and suffering, or letting her go toward her path and her own decisions. John could keep all the anger, pain, and sadness. Or John could let these feelings go and open himself up to the possibility of another person coming into his life – someone perfect for him. He chose to work with me and release all his emotions and attachment to her. Later John expressed how much better he felt, although he couldn’t picture the possibility of finding someone new.

I asked John to fast-forward into the future and “feel” the reality of a new partner. His mind instantly dismissed this possibility. “No, no, no, it's not possible,” said John’s mind. “I don't have any new girls in life.”

Luckily, I have worked with John before. He has seen the results of that work and trusts me. So he allowed himself to feel the truth of this new partner in the future. “I can feel this is true,” John said. He eventually accepted the belief that a new partner was possible for him and integrated this idea within his whole being.

Much to his surprise, John had a new girlfriend within four days.

When I first called John he was so miserable. Without the work we did together, he would have resorted to alcohol. Instead, John tuned into what his body needed. He released the old and replaced it with love. This realignment meant he didn’t need the alcohol and John opened himself up to letting a new person into his life. John feels grateful for this new adventure; it’s far more rewarding than the experience with his old girlfriend. This true story is evidence of the benefits of clearing out stuck feelings to literally make space for something new.
