A Message from Deepak

We are each an inextricable part of an infinite field of pure potentiality or pure consciousness.
Although we tend to identify ourselves with our mind, body, intellect, and conditioned beliefs,
pure consciousness is our essential nature. Consciousness extends everywhere in space-time and
connects everything with everything, instantly. The attributes of consciousness include:

Creativity
Synchronicity
Joy
Bliss
Simplicity
Silence
Love

When were aware of our essential nature and the possibilities that are always unfolding around us,
we enter a state I call SynchroDestiny. We awaken to the field of infinite possibilities, and are able
to apply our intentions and attention to manifest the spontaneous fulfillment of our dreams and
desires.

Given our unlimited potential to live in a state of SynchroDestiny, why do so many of us feel stuck
and unable to experience our natural state of joy, creativity, and abundance? One of the reasons
why is that as we were growing up, we may have been educated about our limitations, and our
sense of the possibilities became constricted. While the future once felt boundless, it now feels
narrow and dark. Even though opportunities and extraordinary possibilities surround us, we simply
dont recognize them except for in hindsight.

Another reason for constricted awareness is stored emotional pain. When were experiencing
emotional turbulence, we arent free to create at higher levels of awareness or experience the
spontaneous fulfillment of desire. For example, when were holding on to anger, we feel separate
and caught up in thoughts about the past. Anger clouds our perception of unity and closes us
down to the transformative messages and clues of the universe.

No matter how long weve been stuck in constricted awareness, we can regain the wondrous joy
of unlimited potentialand awaken to who we really are. The practices in this e-book will help you
begin to let go of old conditioning and experience your true, unbounded self.

Love,

Deepak
Consciousness is the potential for all creation. The more expanded
your consciousness, the more potential you have to create.

Seven Steps to Emotional Freedom
To release the pain of stored emotions and open to a state of expanded awareness, try this
powerful seven-step process.

Step 1: Recall an Emotion

With your eyes closed, recall an emotional experience that is causing you discomfort. See the
circumstances clearly and vividly in your mind. It could be an embarrassing experience or a
personal rejection; the feeling could revolve around loss or failure. Dont generalize; be specific.
You are recalling an emotional trigger. If your recollection is too uncomfortable, open your eyes
and take a few deep breaths. When you feel less overwhelmed, close your eyes again and proceed.

Step 2: Feel Your Body

Notice where in your body this emotional memory has lodged itself. For most people, when they
bring up a disturbing emotion, a physical sensation of tightness, stiffness, discomfort, or even pain
will be felt in the stomach or around the heart. For a smaller number of people, the sensation will
be felt in the throat or as a headache. Locate where your sensation is occurring.

If at first you dont feel anything, relax, take a breath, and easily tune into your body. On rare
occasions someone may feel numb, which is the sign of a deep emotion that has been tied to
fear. But everyone eventually feels something in the body doing this exercise. Remember that an
emotion is a thought connected to a sensation.

Step 3: Label Your Emotion

Now give your emotion a name. Is it fear or anger, sadness or resentment? Most people are
surprised to find that they havent really labeled their emotions in the past. I feel bad or Im not
having a good day is as far as they get. Being more specific allows you to focus on the emotional
baggage you want to release, so take the time to tell yourself exactly what youre feeling.

To help you, here are the most common difficult emotions that people carry around:
Anger, hostility, rage
Sadness, grief, sorrow
Envy, jealousy
Anxiety, fear, worry, apprehension
Resentment
Humiliation
Shame

Step 4: Express the Experience
Take some paper and a pen. Write down what happened to you during your past experience. Put
down in detail how you felt, what other people did, and how you reacted afterward.

When you feel satisfied that youve expressed what the whole thing was about, take a second
sheet of paper and retell the same incident from the other persons point of view. Pretend that
you are that person. Write down what they were feeling, why they acted as they did, and how they
responded afterward. This part is harder than writing down the incident from your own point of
view, but stick with ityou will be taking a big step to letting go of your baggage from the past.

When you are satisfied with what youve written, take a third sheet of paper and relate the same
incident as a newspaper reporter would, in the third person. How would an objective observer tell
readers about the incident in question? Give the details as objectively and even-handedly as you
can.

This step takes more time than the previous ones, but people tend to enjoy it immensely. They
discover that they are no longer trapped in their own point of view. They suddenly can see with a
new set of eyes and experience a greater sense of detachment. Its all very freeing.

Step 5: Share Your Experience

Now share your experience by reading your three accounts to someone else. In a group setting,
which is how I normally lead the exercise, people are very eager to share, and the whole tone
of the room is uplifting, filled with excitement and laughter. The prospect of gaining emotional
freedom from their past is exhilarating. When you do this exercise at home, having a partner or a
small group really enhances this step.

You can also do this exercise with a good friend of family member over the telephone. Read
them your three versions, making sure that they understand why. But dont call the person who
caused you the emotional hurt youre recounting. They arent likely to understand and probably
wont cooperate. About 90 percent of the time, they wont agree with your version of the event
in question; they might deny it even occurred. So stick with someone who is sympathetic and has
your best interests at heart.

Step 6: Ritual of Release

Now its time to formally let go of your painful experience. Take your written stories and literally
let them go. This is done through a ritual where you release your past to the universe, God, or
whatever higher power you recognize. You can create your own ritual. You might want to set
your paper on fire and throw the ashes to the wind or the sea. You could also tear it to pieces and
bury it in the back yard. Some people simply flush the paper down the toilet. Choose a ritual that
resonates with you.

The ritual is important because it draws a line between your past and who you are right now. If you
have fully expressed your old emotion, letting go feels very satisfying. But dont hold yourself to a
false standard. Release what you can today. Its normal and natural if you find yourself doing later
releases around the same hurt.

Step 7: Celebrate Your Release
Once you have released your old story to the universe, celebrate your moment of liberation. You
can do this alone or with others, just so long as you appreciate the step youve taken. I find that
people often skip this step unless reminded. They dont want to make their emotions a big deal,
but in reality they are a big deal. Emotions can trap and bind youand they can also set you free
and change your future.

Practice this exercise regularly, and you will eventually be able to let go of long-held emotional
turbulence and pain, freeing yourself to experience your true self pure, unbounded
consciousness in an infinite field of possibilities.

Moksha: Sutra Practice for Emotional Freedom
Moksha (MOKE-shah) is an ancient Sanskrit sutra that means freedom, liberation, or release. It has
been used for thousands of years by millions of people to transform negative energy into a higher
state of awareness.

Whenever you feel stressed, anxious, or out of balance, you can silently repeat the sutra moksha to
remind yourself that you are pure, unlimited consciousness, free of whatever situation has thrown
you off course.

In a comfortable, seated position, close your eyes and silently repeat the sutra and its
English translation: Moksha. I am emotionally free.

Keep repeating the sutra for several minutes, letting it resonate deep within you.

Next, take some time to focus on the following intentions for emotional freedom, repeating
the sutra moksha after each one.

Imagine that you are without physical form, a field of awareness everywhere at all times.
(moksha)

Imagine that you have left behind forever any sense of anger or resentment.
(moksha)

Imagine that you are free from blaming and free from feeling guilt.
(moksha)

Imagine that are never drawn into melodrama or hysteria.

(moksha)

Imagine that you can choose any feeling you want to experience.
(moksha)

Imagine that you can see any goal you want to achieve and actually achieve it.

 Imagine that you are free of your habitual compulsions and unhealthy patterns of behavior.
(moksha)

Imagine that you are free of all addictions.

(moksha)

Imagine that you never participate in gossip.

(moksha)

Imagine that you are free to respond at the highest level of awareness, no matter what the
situation is or how anyone else behaves.
(moksha)

Imagine that there are no limitations on what you can manifest.

(moksha)

Imagine that you can see infinite possibilities at all times.

(moksha)

Similar to a mantra, a sutra is a sound or vibration that when repeated,

What is a allows you to transcend into a deeper state of consciousness. While a
mantra has no meaning, a sutra has an intention coded in the sound. When
SUTRA? you repeat a sutra, you embed that intention in your consciousness, which
increases the likelihood that your desired outcome will be fulfilled.

Practice 3
Become Aware of Awareness
To awaken to expanded states of consciousness, you dont have to meditate for ten hours a day or
sequester yourself in a cave. You dont have to do anything; you simply have to be aware. Take a
few moments throughout the day to try this:

Ask yourself, Am I aware?

Then slip into being, noticing the space between your thoughts, the space between your
breaths, and the space between you and the other people or objects around you.

By putting your attention on space or the formless, you experience the ever-present witnessing
awareness in which everything arises and subsides. You open to the realization that all of your
experiences are activities in consciousness.
