Bad Feelings – Let It Go

Bad Feelings – Let It Go
Guy Van Looveren

"Letting go involves being aware of a feeling, letting it come up, staying with it, and letting it run its course without wanting to make it different, change it or do anything about it."

— David R. Hawkins

Be Aware of Negative Feelings

Most of us try to ignore negative feelings, believing that pushing them aside makes them disappear. But suppressed emotions don’t vanish — they stay buried in the subconscious, resurfacing again and again.

The key is awareness. When a negative feeling arises, allow it to be felt fully, even if it hurts in the moment. By consciously noticing where you feel it in your body — perhaps in the heart (sadness), or the stomach (guilt and shame) — you bring it into the light of awareness. Only then can it be accepted and released.

In essence, emotions are forms of energy. By feeling, accepting, and letting them go, you free the body from stored negative energy.

Acceptance Over Resistance

"Happiness is simply to allow everything to be exactly as it is from moment to moment."

— Rupert Spira

Resisting what already exists only creates suffering. Saying “I don’t want this” doesn’t change reality. As Byron Katie teaches:

"The outside world cannot touch us. We suffer only when we want things to be different than they are."

When we stop fighting reality and accept the present moment, we reclaim inner peace.

"You can't always control what happens outside, but you can always control what happens inside."

— Wayne Dyer

Becoming Master of Your Feelings

By adulthood, many of us have become experts at suppressing emotions. We push them down until they appear as stress, tension, or sudden outbursts. Hale Dwoskin explains:

"We have suppressed so much emotional energy that we all walk around like little walking time bombs."

Repressed emotions will always resurface, often triggered by circumstances that mirror their origin. True release happens only when we allow the feeling to arise with full intensity, accept it, and then let it go.

"We don't really heal anything; we simply let it go."

— Carl Jung

Letting go doesn’t mean avoiding emotions — it means bringing them into awareness, accepting them as they are, and freeing ourselves from their grip.
