Letting Go, Letting God

Letting Go, Letting God

Removing the Blocks to the Awareness of Love’s Presence
Cort Curtis, Ph.D.

“Letting go”, “undoing”, “forgiving”, “completing”, “dissolving” are all synonymous terms for freeing ourselves from troubling and self-defeating emotions and beliefs that get in the way of experiencing the love that we are.

There are many powerful methods that exist today to enable us to free ourselves from the thinking and beliefs that hold us back. This 7 week workshop is all about introducing you to these methods and to experience firsthand how they can work for you to achieve a happier existence.

Week 1: Introduction: The Meaning of Letting Go and Forgiveness
All of the major spiritual practices such as Science of Mind, A Course in Miracles, the Bible, Buddhism and Twelve Steps emphasize letting go and forgiveness as a means to achieve higher states of consciousness. We will introduce a psychological perspective on forgiveness and identify those areas and situations of your life that might be worthy of letting go. We will see how “ego” gets in the way of forgiveness and how an unforgiven situation develops.

Week 2: Awareness Techniques
Based on Gestalt Psychology, the work of Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”, Michael Brown in the “Presence Process” and Eugene Gendlin’s the “Art of Focusing” you will learn some basic awareness techniques that form the foundation of letting go and staying in the present.

Week 3: The Sedona Method
Based on the original work of Lester Levinson and later developed by Hale Dwoskin, you will learn four basic questions to let go of any emotion that is persisting way beyond its time.

Week 4: Emotional Freedom Technique
Based on the original work of Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy and later developed by Gary Craig you will learn the “tapping technique”, a form of emotional acupuncture to enable you to free yourself from troubling emotions.

Week 5: Radical Forgiveness
Based on the work of Colin Tipping who suggests that there is a divine purpose to everything that happens, you will learn the 5 stages of Radical Forgiveness.

Week 6: The Work of Byron Katie
Byron Katie’s phenomenal approach teaches you to reverse your thinking to transform any situation with which you are struggling. You will learn to apply the four basic questions that can turn your life around.

Week 7: Bringing It All Together
We will share the gains we have made and complete any leftover unfinished emotional business.
