When I spoke of daily work I was talking about just being with your feelings in some way. This would be something simple like Active Feeling or a form of feelings based meditation.

Feelings can't really be cleared--they can be felt, released, and integrated. The same sorts of feelings keep returning and returning. They are our communications lines. We wouldn't want to get rid of our feelings even we could. They're too valuable. Clearing generally refers to emotions and stuck conditions like traumas. The emmotional charge comes off and the emotoform is returned to formlessness. This stuck conditions don't return once cleared.

Cyndy, Lyle, Yogi:

Lyle points out the difference between releasing and clearing. We can release feelings which is a form of integration. Yogi points out releasing positive feelings can be a pathway into void nature. We probably use the word release because feelings are inexhaustible. They will return whenever they have a valuable message to send us. Both socalled positive and negative feelings can be targets for releasing. I say "socalled" positive or negative because for me feelings are just feelings.

The Sedona Method urges folks to release on their positive feelings so they can experience imperturbability or their void nature.

Clearing generally targets stuck emotions like hate, rage, depression, stuck grieving, guilt, shame, impatience, jealousy, envy, anxiety, panic, phobias, inferiority, pressure, and the underlying emotions supporting addictions and compulsions. All of these emotions possess strong absolutistic cognitive components or thoughtforms. These energy forms are recycled back into formlessness. The emotional charge goes off. Feelings on the other hand don't have the absolutistic components and aren't as resisted. The slight charge in them goes generally when we pay attention to them and get their valuable message. Feelings will keep reproducing whenever a similar situation comes up again and our body/mind wants to get our attention. Once a strongly resisted emotion is "cleared" the ball game is over for it.

In transformational clearing or in most Emoclear clearering tech we get a shift to the essence opposite of the emotion we started out with.
In other forms of clearing the charge drops off and usually we will experience either neutral feelings or an appropriate feeling in its place. This appropriate feeling lacks the charge and absolutistic nature of the targeted emotion.

Some typical shifts in stardard clearing, where neutral feelings don't emerge, might be:

Hate/strong anger to displeasure or annoyance.

Anxiety to concern.

Depression to disppointment or saddness.

Guilt for regret or remorse.

Impatience for patience or tolerance.

Jealousy for trust or caution.

Pressure for calm focus.

Shame for acceptance.

Take care, Steve
