might be that they need more than money from a
job. Once someone can reduce their thoughts to the
six major categories and own the central truth, the
belief is ready to be matured into a choice: to look
for connection, or further stoke separation. Even
the worst of situations covers up connection. Even if
others are malicious, the Divine is always accepting.
STEPS TO RELEASE EMOTIONS
If it's within your scope of practice, you can
use these steps to support your client in an
emotional release, a new attitude toward life, and
maybe even a reduction of stress and pain.
• Express. Allow your client to express his feelings.
If you feel uncomfortable, you can suggest he
works with a mental health professional.
• Remember. An emotion is usually linked to an
event or ongoing situation. If both you and
the client feel comfortable, ask questions to
pinpoint the originating cause of the emotion.
• Discern and label feelings. It's easiest to
help a client label feelings before beliefs.
Help him reduce distorted feelings into
one or more of the five categories.
• Discern and label beliefs. Reduce beliefs
to a main category and help the client
see there are two sides of the coin.
• Mature feelings and beliefs. Assist the client in
embracing the true message of the feeling and
then help him mature a belief if there is one. Aid
the client in figuring out how to better use the
feeling in his everyday life to move toward joy, and
select a connecting type of belief to focus on.
• Present further choices. At this point, you
can ask the client if he is ready to let go of
issues related to the once-stuck emotions—
attitudes, illness, pain, tension, etc.
• Celebrate. You both achieved a great
transformation!

How do you heal the darker sides of a
belief? By assuming that even the darkest
belief holds a truth.
