TREE HUGGING

I went to a tree hugging seminar at the weekend http://www.releasetechnique.com/page.php?page=live-classes#UK.
It was well attended - sign of the times.
There I met Guru Billy - another Scot.
We were releasing on worry and really powering through the exercise, incredible energy rising. We both became worry free very quickly and where wondering what to do next with the 30 minutes remaining.
'What is stopping you from being free all the time Andy?'
'My mind Billy.'
'Why don't you be free now? Like you said in your Love letter. Right now.'
I felt a rush. Keith kicked in straight away. Confusion. Real horrible crippling confusion. Rabbit in the headlights. Panic.
'You can't go free in front of him! It is bad enough that you do it quietly on your own. He'll think you an idiot. A hippy tree hugger or worse a fake. You will look really stupid. What you going to do to prove that you are free? Levitate? Shine like a God? You left your halo at home. You'll have to prove it to him. Or he wont believe you. And then you will be scorned. Don't look into his eyes. Look away!'
Frustration, tears rising, terrible fear. Terror.
Then laughter and the stupidity of it all. Push through the joy, because that is another trap. Look into Billy's eyes. Now! You can do it.
'Don't you dare! He is a freak, he's worse than you. Look at the way he releases, all serious and full of himself. He's a fraud too. Don't look into his eyes! Don't!'
I let Keith have his rant and then calmly looked into Billy's eyes.
And there I was staring back.
I am you Billy.
Peace.
