maybe your Relationship ended
maybe a loved one died or a pet
maybe your having panic attacks
maybe you have a serious illness
maybe you lost your job
maybe you lost your temper and regret it
maybe the IRS is after your ass
maybe your business failed
maybe you cant get any more credit
maybe you failed out of school
maybe you have no friends
maybe you gave up drinking and drugs and fear a relapse

maybe you're just plain depressed
maybe your anti-depressants are not working
maybe your thinking of ending your life
 
Have those mental state/s that ensued, because of the above experiences ever lasted?
Dont you know that for sure by examining previous heavy places you've been stuck in?
 
What about sanctioning whatever emotions you are experiencing and
letting them continue as long as they appear?
 
How long would they last? What would happen to you?
 
Like, are you not the knower of what is happening and not what is happening?
 
Hasn't the knower of experiences been You since you can remember?
 
How can experiences be you if they are appearances on the screen of consciousness?
 
Can those unpleasant mental states be you?,
because you witness them and they appear and expire in each moment.
 
If you wrote down exactly how you are feeling and any thoughts about the heavy place
Would that offer some relief?
 
If you answered these repetitive questions and have a friend/s acknowledge them, what would happen
to you.?
 
Tell me something about the heavy place, that I am unwilling to experience?
Tell me something about the heavy place, I that I am willing to experience?
 
Substitute any other meaningful word for heavy place that you chose.
 
Any answer that comes to mind is fine. Keep repeating the questions and answers,
by either having a partner that listens and acknowledges or type them in the computer and
post them on a group. See how your mental state changes and possibly disappears.
There are no silly or wrong answers.
 
Dont you think that if you really did the above process for any length of time, you would become so tired of doing it that the heavy place would disappear? Try it and see for yourself.
 
Watch what is happening in your mind and body like your life depends on it or like when
you are driving where kids are playing in the street.
 
Of try this. Put what you are experiencing into a few words and meditate on it.
See if you can keep concentrating on those words. For example. "My partner left me and I am going batty".
I'll bet you cant keep that as your meditation object.
 
Do you believe as I do, that anything you are unwilling to experience at least in your mind, you are stuck with?
 
What is it in you that wants to hold on to the heavy place you are caught up with?
