It’s two questions—releasing emotions and then releasing stuff that’s not ours. To release trapped emotions, you need to have a Subtle Body-appropriate process.
There’s always emotion and its source. Technically, the emotions’ source in a Subtle Body is like the wind that comes through the trees. It’s something that’s generated naturally by the movement of air pressure and other things.
So, you want to be careful to not believe that emotions are the source of things. Emotions are just the wind that was generated by something else on a deeper cause. What we’re looking to release is not the emotion but what caused them, which is the kink in the Subtle Body.
In Sanskrit, we talk about what’s in your Citta, which is sort of like your karmic bag of all the impressions that you have. Sometimes those will get stirred up, creating these whirlpools of emotions. We see that it’s not the emotion, but it’s the source within the person.
For instance, two people go through the same experience, and they can have different responses that came from it. It means that there must be something different at the source. Otherwise, they would feel the same emotion.
Using a Subtle Body process releases emotions. We let the emotions and the wind guide us to say, “Whoa, there must be a fan around here, something blowing up all this wind.” We go through a process, which we train people in what we call the Basic Procedure, and the basis is NTB.
