Once again, I would like to recommend the Keys of Liberation as tools in everyday life. When you are going through a difficult time, it is important to put your feelings into words. The part of you that represents your feelings, often does not reach your mind with what you really feel and you may end up making different choices than you really want. Then you will not feel better about yourself. Our feelings often make us avoid or postpone some situations and prefer other situations or tasks. Feelings can be about completely different things than what our mind thinks! That is why using an accepting word before the word feeling, is very useful.
I realize that I feel... is what I have recommended in the book, but it does not feel good for everyone. Some words you can try are:
"I recognize that I feel.... I accept that I feel... I confess that I feel... I manage that I feel... I admit that I feel..
Most people are so used to holding back and suppressing their feelings that they resist feeling what they really feel, and then they think that the Keys of Liberation are the wrong way. They may tremble with fear or great discomfort, but believe me, once you start, and get through the first challenge, you begin to understand. The method is a real "door opener".
I once had a young lady for guidance. She had severe anxiety and was unable to come to me on her own, but was followed to the door by a friend. I explained to her the principle behind the keys. At that time I used "I accept that I feel..." because when I developed the keys, I was concerned with accepting myself as I am. For many it feels strange, but for me it works best to this day.
She was unable to say acceptance before the feelings about what she felt. We had to move very slowly so that she wouldn't break down. After a while, I suggested using the word manage, meaning "I manage that I feel...." She tasted the words and repeated sentences that I had picked up from her in the initial conversation. She had a rather sad story that she had to work her way through, but after two visits to me and much intense work, she went home and faced everyday life, determined to use the Keys of Liberation on her own. It was also a great joy for me to experience.
You will find a short version of the Keys and an explanation of many phenomena that one encounters in one's psyche if you go to my website. https://www.becantus.com/Eng_liberating_keys.htm. There you will also find information about the book "The secret of the psyche. Have a nice day!
