The C.N.D.Y Approach to Success

Four-Step Emotional Training for Ultimate Freedom

1. COMPASSION. RADICAL COMPASSION.

Know deeply that no feeling is wrong or bad, including pain and fear.

We are both meant and made to experience pain and hurt, yet it does not need to extend into suffering.

Suffering is when we resist feeling. Suffering is when we judge feelings and the body constricts against their movement and finds somewhere to store those feelings.

I like to think of humans as emotional and psychic sponges.

We are capable of absorbing anything in our environment and we are capable of storing it to be experienced again later as it is stirred within us or as it (hopefully) exits us (passes through) (is released) (is recycled).

When we judge any feeling as good bad right or wrong, I think of two hands squeezing a sponge and then not releasing it.

In this state the sponge cannot absorb or give off, it is stuck and stagnant in the tight grasp of the human.

This is much like the heart (emotional body) when we try to forcefully steer our way to keep distant from pain and fear (we find ourselves dreadfully in the full on grasp of it) (speaking and acting from that state of scarcity, of overwhelm, of suffocation).

When we surrender to the FACT that no feeling is good bad right or wrong but simply energy that needs to move through, we become radically more available to life and completely compassionate towards all of life around us.

This is freedom.

2. NOTICE. JUST NOTICE.

Let the feelings move and be alive inside of you, even pain and fear.

Some people are so so so NICE that they think they can just keep keep keep absorbing.

Very similar to the hands wringing the sponge and not letting go, it is homeostasis - trying to stay in one spot in the cycle of being a sentient creature.

If I were to generalize I would say, the nice people are more likely to get depressed and the tight grippers are more likely to lash out. (I can swing both ways).

The best way to “let the feelings move inside of you” is to be aware of where you’re at as a sponge — are you available to interact and absorb… or do you need to be wrung out and reset?

If you’re not judging and not resisting, then your whole job is to SIMPLY NOTICE.

Start asking yourself a few times a day, how do I feel? Take note of any emotions present in your bubble. Does it have a name or a texture or a color, just noticing. No evaluation necessary- evaluation is the opposite of helpful here.

Also, take note of any sensations in your body. You can jot notes if that makes this practice more attractive and doable, but it is not necessarily a part of everyone’s beneficial noticing practice.

This begins a trend of allowing. This also feeds the fact that freedom is found in personal responsibility for personal experience.

3. DISCHARGE. DAILY DISCHARGE.

Let it all go. Let all the feelings flow through your body and be released.

This is what you do when you notice that you, as the sponge, are FULL UP, ready to be wrung out, at full capacity for stimulation, emotionally charged.

Animals know they need to shake their bodies and rest when they experience pain or fear. The nervous system is debilitated if it has to be a storage locker for stimulation (this is trauma).

Actually letting go of the energy that arises or absorbs into your physical system is imperative to your freedom and availability for success beyond the scarcity delusion most of us are living in.

You can tell you are discharging when you feel all the energy draining out of you downwards. It is the opposite of a charging activity, which feels like you are filling up and all the energy is going to your head.

Discharging is relieving (and I don’t know anyone who couldn't use more genuine relief). Discharge can happen automatically, for example, the witching hour most new parents know about - where sometime in the evening baby cries and cries as a very natural way to discharge the stimulation from a day of being alive with a sensitive nervous system.

Trauma doesn't always mean great big awful experiences, it can be a surprise, joyful or scary, where the system clenches in response to a possible threat. The point is, you don’t want trauma stored in your nervous system — so discharge.

Fear is a survival response. Discharge is the access route to a life of thriving.

Discharge can also be accessed by choice through activities that stir and evacuate any emotional CHARGE stored in our system. This could be shaking, laughter yoga, ecstatic dance, vocal toning, intense orgasms, etc.

4. YES. SAY YES.

Yes. YeS. YES! to these four steps. On repeat.

You need to be compassionate so that you can stop judging.

You need to stop judging so your mind can become the observer, just noticing feeling in order to invite and allow it to move through.

You need to accept opportunity for discharge when it presents itself in a way that your BODY says YES to. You can also say YES to daily discharge practices.

You carry on in this way for all of time so long as emotions exist.

When you follow these steps, you are free to enjoy the route you trained yourself to be available to consciously choose — the world is your oyster, as they say (rather than the prison of being limited by trauma and judgment or being pushed around by conditioned patterns).
