Emptiness

Before I would recommend using a method, I would connect with  
emptiness first to experience what it really is.  This builds up
tolerance in a person and lets them know emptiness is really not
overwhelming afterall.  When someone can be with their emptiness,
pits, or loneliness, it begins to build a resiliency in them.  
And an appreciation for this very powerful force that often moves
people into an escape mode.

Emptiness, pits, dire lonliness are powerful trances left from
soft and hard traumas in life.  I would suggest the non method of
just fully feeling them and paying attention to them.  This is a
powerful and wonderful opportunity for people to grow and learn
about themselves.  When someone begins to accept that emptiness
is there, it begins to change in subtle ways.  The emptiness
loses some of its entrancing power over us.  When we reach this
point of outward acceptance, then it may be a good idea to enter
into the emptiness and know what it contains in its depths.  When
we allow ourselves to gently fall within the confines of this
trance we sometimes will see stories from our lives unfolding
here.  Feel these stories from start to finish.  Sometimes upon
entry we might go straight away to the opposite of emptiness:  
fullness, wholeness, completeness. This is a very secure state
that you likely know as a flavor of essence.  Paying attention
from this position can lead to the spontanious amelioration of
this trance and the production of a resource.  
Because  facing and feeling our emptiness is so valuable I
recommend being with it, first tolerating it and its
overwhelmingness and then allowing natural acceptance to grow.  
This takes care of some of the secondary trances surrounding the
passageway into emptiness.  Building this tolerance is very
important to our long term wellbeing.
To apply a method too early in the process can cheat us of some
required growth and learning.  The building up of tolerance and
acceptance.  This is my experience.  
Later when someone has passed those important way stations on the
interior path, then entry into emptiness or a transformational
process such as the Meridian or D.I.E. can be implemented to
bring about closure and wholeness.
Sometimes it's best not to hurry growth in some areas because we
can miss important learnings.
Emptiness, pits, and intense longing are wonderful entry points
for major growth.  And if someone approaches them with the idea
of transforming them quickly, they can offer enormous
resistance.  Emptiness is a trance which can be bound up with  
great amounts of energy.  We know what it feels like to feel
empty and alone.  That's powerful stuff.  It can drive some of us
to addictions and compulsions and make for profound shifts and
reversals in our meridians.  
Emptiness is really a friend who wants to teach us something very
valuable.   Likely it's been attempting to gain our attention for
quite some time.
