Introduction

You spend most of your life trying to change the outer world to find happiness, safety, and success. You fight against circumstances, attempt to control other people, and accumulate possessions while carrying a heavy burden of suppressed emotions inside. This constant struggle drains your energy, creates chronic stress, and breeds physical illness. You believe that your suffering comes from external events, so you look outside yourself for solutions that never quite deliver lasting peace.

David R. Hawkins offers a radically different path in Letting Go. The central idea is that you can instantly release accumulated emotional pressure by dropping your inner resistance to feelings rather than trying to suppress, express, or escape them. Letting go is an internal mechanism of the mind that instantly relieves accumulated pressure, restoring freedom and happiness by dropping resistance to feelings.

The book guides you through the anatomy of human emotions, mapping out levels of consciousness from destructive states like apathy and fear up to empowering states of love and peace. You learn how to apply the letting go technique to everyday challenges, including health, wealth, relationships, and professional success. The journey moves from understanding the basic mechanics of surrender to achieving deep self-healing and ultimate spiritual growth.

As you read, you will find answers to several practical questions:

  • How do you recognize the hidden emotional blocks that run your life?
  • What distinguishes healthy surrender from suppression or escapism?
  • How does releasing inner pressure affect your physical health and career?
  • Can you eliminate negative feelings simply by watching them without judgment?
  • How does the map of consciousness help you navigate daily stress?

1. The Mechanism of Letting Go

Letting go is an internal mechanism of the mind that instantly relieves accumulated pressure, restoring freedom and happiness by dropping resistance to feelings.

The technique involves focusing entirely on the feeling itself without resisting, condemning, or trying to modify it. You allow the underlying energy to dissipate naturally while ignoring endless mental thoughts.

During an intense argument filled with anger, suddenly realizing the absurdity of the situation and starting to laugh can immediately relieve the inner pressure.

Handling Feelings

People typically handle feelings through suppression, expression, or escape, all of which ultimately perpetuate emotional turmoil and cause physical or psychological damage. A negative feeling can cause a 50% loss of the body's muscle strength instantly.

The primary methods include:

  • suppression, which pushes feelings down and causes somatic illness;
  • expression, which merely vents enough pressure to allow the rest to be suppressed while strengthening the emotion;
  • escape, which uses diversion and addiction to avoid inner awareness.

Projection and Stress

External stress is not caused by outside events, but by the internal pressure of repressed feelings that project onto the world and use situations as triggers. The rationalizing mind uses projection and denial to avoid owning its emotions. You view external people or circumstances as the enemy while accumulating stress through your own degree of emotional reactivity.

Scientific Theory

The Gray-LaViolette scientific theory integrates psychology and neurophysiology, demonstrating that memory banks file thoughts according to the shades of feelings attached to them rather than cold facts. Published in 1981, this scientific theory shows that feeling tones organize human thoughts and memories. Releasing a feeling instantly frees the mind from all associated thoughts.

2. The Anatomy of Emotions

Human emotions align with a logarithmic scale of consciousness from 1 to 1000, where Courage at 200 marks the critical threshold dividing destructive force from life-supportive power.

Levels below 200 weaken muscle strength and drain energy. Levels above 200 empower and give energy to others. Telling the truth is the fastest way to move up the scale. The Map of Consciousness tracks these attractor patterns, moving from destructive states to higher realizations:

  • 20: Shame
  • 30: Guilt
  • 50: Apathy
  • 75: Grief
  • 100: Fear
  • 125: Desire
  • 150: Anger
  • 175: Pride
  • 200: Courage
  • 250: Neutrality
  • 310: Willingness
  • 350: Acceptance
  • 400: Reason
  • 500: Love
  • 540: Joy
  • 600: Peace

Handling Emotional Crises

When an emotional overwhelm occurs, attempting to tackle the massive core issue directly is counterproductive. You can reduce the sheer quantity of emotion through conscious suppression, sharing, escape, and surrendering minor attachments to move the mind into the courage mode.

A man who lost his job after many years overcame overwhelming despair by first using escape mechanisms. He then surrendered minor trivial attachments to his daily office routine like his parking space, desk, and elevator rides.

Healing the Past

Clinging to negative emotions and the residuals of past trauma extracts a massive lifelong toll for a cheap, quirky internal satisfaction. The small ego enjoys the unconscious payoff of self-pity and punishment, leading people to endure decades of estrangement and suffering over trivial matters due to unaddressed resentment.

Two brothers did not speak to each other for twenty-three years following a minor argument over a pair of tennis shoes. They only reconciled when one learned to surrender his resentment.

Enhancing Positive Emotions

Alongside letting go of negative feelings, you must stop resisting positive emotions and your inner greatness to achieve lasting inner peace and invulnerability. Every negative feeling has a positive counterpart within the personality, such as forgiveness and generosity. Consciously dropping resistance to these positive states replaces inner hollowness with self-love and makes a person imperturbable.

3. Apathy, Grief, and Fear

Apathy, grief, and fear stem from hidden attachments and false beliefs that can be resolved by taking personal responsibility and surrendering emotional pressure.

Apathy and Depression

Apathy indicates a lack of life energy and is characterized by thoughts like "What's the use?" or "Why bother?". Most "I can'ts" are actually "I won'ts" driven by hidden fear, shame, or pride. Recognizing that "I won't" allows you to move upward to fear, anger, and courage.

Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh represents the apathetic role saying "Oh well. Won't do any good anyway."

Apathy resulting from a lack of emotional nurturing can lead to severe physical decline and death, demonstrating that emotional states directly impact survival. Infants removed to remote safe sections of England during the World War II blitz of London developed severe apathy, lost their appetites, and suffered a high death rate due to the lack of emotional closeness to a mothering figure.

Grief and Attachment

Grief and mourning originate from attachments and dependencies that arise when you feel incomplete within yourself and treat external objects or people as extensions of your own identity. Because people invest emotional energy into external things to fulfill inner needs, the loss of those things causes a feeling of personal diminution and intense pain. Grief is time-limited and can be resolved within minutes if surrendered completely instead of resisted.

Two thousand years ago, Buddha observed that attachment is the basis of human suffering.

Immunity to grief and loss is achieved by finding internal joy and security within the Higher Self rather than depending on external attachments. Unresolved grief and anger over a severe loss can lead to the projection of blame onto others, frequently destroying remaining relationships and causing prolonged psychosomatic illness. A forty-year-old woman developed uncontrollable rage after the death of her son from leukemia, projecting hatred onto her husband and doctors until her family disintegrated and ended in divorce.

Fear and the Shadow

Fear is often underpinned by an unconscious desire to strike back, revealing hidden anger that can be surrendered to move up the scale of consciousness. A fundamental law of consciousness dictates that any thought consistently held and given energy will tend to manifest in reality.

As a medical intern, the author held a persistent fear of public speaking. When forced to present a case to a staff meeting, his voice faltered and failed exactly as he had feared, reinforcing his avoidance of speaking engagements for years.

Carl Jung referred to the repressed and unacknowledged contents of the collective unconscious as the shadow. Instead of projecting these crude impulses onto the world and fighting them as evil, simply recognizing their presence within the human mind stops them from unconsciously controlling behavior.

4. Desire, Anger, and Pride

Desire, anger, and pride act as major psychological obstacles that drain life energy, whereas courage and acceptance open the door to spiritual growth.

Desire as an Obstacle

Strong desire and craving act as psychological obstacles to achieving goals because the energy of desire implies that one does not already have what is wanted. Stating a desire puts psychic distance between you and the goal. Surrendering the emotion of desire, choosing the goal lovingly, and allowing it to manifest without struggle bypasses the arduous Protestant ethic of hard work.

The author needed a small pied-à-terre in New York City and wrote down exact criteria including a rent-controlled price on Fifth Avenue near Central Park. After writing it down and letting go of the wantingness, he visited a real estate office the next day and immediately found an apartment that matched every detail, signing the lease within twenty-four hours for 500.00 dollars a month.

Consciousness evolves through three distinct stages of human motivation:

  • havingness
  • doingness
  • beingness

Anger and Its Physical Costs

Anger contains vast energy that is often repressed due to perceived moral failure, leading to physical illness and psychological distress. Repressed anger does not disappear; instead, it manifests as chronic resentment, depression, or psychosomatic conditions like hypertension, migraine headaches, and arthritis. The mind often creates moralistic indignation and the mechanism of making others wrong to justify its anger.

Rather than expressing anger destructively or repressing it, you can redirect that energy into creative projects, better career opportunities, or self-improvement programs, thereby transforming a negative situation into a personal breakthrough. An employee resentful of a boss who fails to acknowledge their efforts can use that energy to create an outstanding project or find a better job rather than causing a workplace confrontation.

The Vulnerability of Pride

Pride is inherently vulnerable, defensive, and destructive, operating as a poor substitute for genuine self-esteem. Because pride is based on an inner sense of inadequacy, it requires constant defense of status, possessions, and opinions, which invites attack. Genuine self-esteem, by contrast, is completely non-defensive.

Viewing thoughts and beliefs as mere opinions rather than possessions prevents prideful argumentativeness and emotional vulnerability. Opinions are constantly shifting products of fads and propaganda. When you label thoughts as mine, you feel compelled to defend them, whereas viewing them simply as ideas eliminates the need to be right.

5. Acceptance, Love, and Peace

Advanced states of consciousness such as acceptance, unconditional love, and peace elevate human experience and act as a vital counterbalance to collective negativity.

The State of Acceptance

Acceptance is a state of inner harmony where everything is perceived as perfect. You no longer seek to change or judge the world. In acceptance, you experience a feeling of security, abundance, and self-worth without self-sacrifice. People are seen as doing the best they can with what they have. This eliminates moralistic judgments of good and bad, as well as feelings of guilt.

The Healing Power of Love

True love is an innate state of being that radiates naturally from within once psychological blocks are surrendered. Love is not something external to be acquired. While lower energy levels involve seeking love externally through desire, acceptance and love reveal that lovingness is your true inner nature. The ego is transcended as negative feelings are relinquished.

Having a pet dog catalyzes the energy of love, which has a powerful anabolic effect. Research documents that having a dog extends the owner's life by ten years. The positive mental state and energy of love facilitate physical healing and increase life-enhancing endorphins.

A duck hunter shot a female duck's mate, and upon watching the female fly down and spread her wings to shelter the injured duck, his heart was changed and he never hunted again.

Unconditional love is a rare, miraculous, and nonselective state characterized by complete freedom from expectations, attachments, and judgments. Only 0.04 percent of the population experiences unconditional love, which calibrates at 540. Even historical villains like Adolf Hitler can be forgiven through the understanding that they were overwhelmed by negative societal beliefs and unconsciousness.

Peace and Oneness

Peace is an imperturbable state of total absence of negativity where personal identity is transcended. In the state of peace, you are invulnerable to worldly threats. Ordinary human suffering becomes impossible, and synchronicity grows continuous. Physical concerns lose significance, and the mind's thinkingness is replaced by holistic knowingness.

High-frequency energy fields of love and peace act as a vital counterbalance that neutralizes collective societal negativity and prevents self-destruction. Advanced states of consciousness generate an infinite, silent energy field that holds chaotic human environments together. Without this positive counterbalance, large cities and mankind itself would self-destruct.

Theoretical physics and quantum mechanics match the ultimate Reality witnessed by mystics. Neuroscientist Carl Pribram and physicist David Bohm proposed that the brain mathematically interprets frequencies from a primary dimension beyond space and time. This mirrors the mystic's realization of total oneness where each part contains the whole.

6. Reducing Stress and Physical Illness

Most physical illnesses and chronic stress originate internally from accumulated suppressed feelings rather than from external environmental triggers.

External events serve merely as minor triggers for your internal reactivity. Because of extensive psychological programming, even relaxing on vacation creates guilt and anxiety. You might return to your routine workload just to feel normal again.

Medical Aspects of Stress

The physical body responds to stress through a three-stage general adaptation syndrome that can lead to exhaustion, immune suppression, and organic disease. Dr. Hans Selye and Dr. Walter Cannon identified the alarm reaction via the hypothalamic-adrenal pathway releasing cortisol and adrenalin. This is followed by a stage of resistance involving metabolic shifts and water retention. Finally, the exhaustion stage arrives where energy stores deplete and the immune system fails.

Some executives develop swollen ankles during the work week due to water retention. They experience a letdown with aches, pains, and frequent urination on Friday evenings when cortisol levels drop.

Your body also features a lesser-known energy system of acupuncture meridians. This network instantly reflects emotional and mental fluctuations before conventional medical measurements register them. This vital bio-energy network transmits life force to all organs and is regulated by the thymus gland. Chronic stress weakens your immune system by suppressing the thymus and unbalancing the bio-energy meridians.

Relationship Between Mind and Body

Your body obeys the mind and tends to manifest whatever beliefs and programs you hold consciously or unconsciously. Sir John Eccles noted that the brain is not the origin of the mind but acts as a receiving station. What you hold in mind alters brain activity, neuroanatomy, and physiological responses.

Over 70 percent of women given a saline placebo injection developed early pre-menstrual tension symptoms after being told it was a hormone injection.

Norman Cousins cured himself of a crippling arthritic disease by using heavy doses of Vitamin C and belly-laughter induced by Marx brothers films. He discovered that laughing acted as an emotional release and a pain reliever.

Kinesiologic Testing

Kinesiologic muscle testing provides a direct method to demonstrate how negative thoughts, feelings, and harmful substances instantly weaken your body's bio-energy musculature. When you hold a negative thought or come near a negative energy stimulus, a sudden drop in bio-energy causes an immediate weakening of the deltoid muscle. This results in a loss of about 50 percent of muscle strength.

A test subject holding an unpleasant thought experiences a sudden major weakening of the deltoid muscle. They lose about 50 percent of strength, but instantly go strong when thinking of someone they love.

7. Transformation, Health, and Wealth

Continuous letting go produces profound life transformations, resolving health issues, eliminating inner poverty around wealth, and freeing you from external limitations.

Minor acts of letting go bring about major life transformations. This works like a one-degree adjustment in a ship compass that leads to a vastly different destination over time.

A man stuck in the same position for 23 years used letting go and rose to company president within a year. His ego-driven mind discounted this progress, attributing the success to business pattern shifts rather than the inner technique.

Transformation and Health

Preoccupation with the body drains vital energy. Believing that you are a body leads to constant worry about diet, disease, and environmental hazards. Surrendering these fears allows physical illnesses to resolve automatically as the body becomes a peripheral tool like a pet or puppet.

Unconscious guilt requires punishment in the form of illness and suffering. Constant surrender and forgiveness undo this inner guilt. This leads to a natural state of radiant health and freedom from disease.

A magazine publisher with advanced, terminal multiple sclerosis reversed her disease and recovered into radiant health. She achieved this by studying a home-study course consisting of 365 days of short lessons to undo guilt and resentment through forgiveness.

Wealth and Emotional Needs

Money is rarely desired for its own sake. It serves as a tool to fulfill underlying emotional needs like self-respect and security. Unconscious beliefs about money cause anxiety and financial limitation. Identifying the emotional meanings behind money helps you realize that these goals can be met directly through inner self-esteem.

Excessive accumulation of wealth often stems from inner poverty and insecurity. This inner state drives a relentless fear of loss. The smaller you feel inside, the greater the amount of money, power, and glamour you must accumulate to compensate.

A millionaire worth 50 million dollars experienced a near nervous breakdown and panic over losing 10 million dollars through a business oversight. He suffered because he feared he could not survive on the remaining sum of 40 million dollars.

The State of Inner Freedom

Average happiness is extremely fragile because it depends on external events, attachments, and internal emotional chaos. Minor criticisms or chance occurrences can ruin your day. To escape this internal emptiness, the ego-mind remains constantly unconscious through media, busyness, and frantic distractions.

As the process of letting go continues, the glamour projected onto the world is stripped away. You free yourself from external manipulation by de-glamorizing titles, money, and relationships.

True liberation is achieved when you realize you are not the body or the mind, but the timeless space of Awareness itself. Continuous surrender leads to the discovery of the true Self as the nonjudgmental witness of life.

8. Relationships and Vocational Success

Human relationships and vocational goals are transformed when you surrender emotional programs, practice forgiveness, and operate from a peaceful state.

Relationships as Mirrors

Human relationships act as mirrors that trigger our innermost emotional programs. What you often mistake for love is actually attachment, dependency, and possessiveness. All negative emotions toward others stem from the unconscious belief that you are incomplete within yourself. This leads you to use other people as a means to an end.

Human minds are not strictly isolated compartments. People pick up on your hidden attitudes and mirror back the exact projections you hold toward them. Women and dogs are noted as being particularly adept at reading these subtle energy vibrations.

Synchronicity and Surrender

When you are in a state of anger or lower frequency, you are psychically vulnerable to counter-attacks and energy depletion. Shifting to unconditional love causes negative energy from others to boomerang back without affecting you.

Completely surrendering a negative attitude or an attempt to control someone else can instantly alter external circumstances through synchronicity. When you stop pressuring people through expectations and demands, you give them the psychic space to cooperate or change their minds independently.

A company president drove to a board meeting while angry at a rebellious and demanding division head. Upon completely surrendering his anger and sending the man love at 12:30 P.M., the employee walked into the office at exactly 12:32 P.M. and announced he was calling off his planned protest.

Vocational Goals and Sales

Vocational success and the unlocking of talents are determined by the underlying feeling states that dictate your thoughts and level of concentration. Feelings can be categorized into inertia, energetic, and peaceful states. Negative feelings like envy and inadequacy sabotage professional achievements by drawing focus away from the goal. Peaceful acceptance unleashes creative inspiration.

Sales performance and professional problem-solving reach their peak when operating from a peaceful state focused on win-win outcomes. Driven, self-seeking motives create psychological resistance in clients. A peaceful, attentive mind naturally discovers solutions that benefit all parties involved.

An insurance company partner introduced the letting go technique to corporate agents, resulting in a 33% increase in sales within six months compared to a control group.

9. Self-Healing and Spiritual Goals

Chronic physical disorders can be reversed through surrender and dropping disease labels, ultimately leading to spiritual enlightenment and the experience of the Divine Presence.

Self-Healing and Physical Recovery

Most human disorders and physical illnesses can be reversed through the continuous mechanism of surrender. This includes even severe chronic conditions that have failed all medical treatments. You cannot actually feel a disease, as a disease is an abstract concept. Instead, you experience raw physical sensations such as tightness, burning, or constriction. Relinquishing the label and observing only the sensation accelerates healing. Giving a physical disorder or symptom a name creates a mental program and a belief system that binds you to the disease.

At age 50, the author suffered from chronic migraines, duodenal ulcers, severe diverticulitis requiring blood transfusions, arthritis, near-sightedness, and vibration disease. All of these were successfully healed through complete surrender. This recovery involved stopping the suppression of negative emotions and abandoning the labeling of physical sensations with disease names. During severe diverticulitis hemorrhaging, four hours of complete surrender stopped the bleeding. After removing bifocals, it took six weeks for the author's vision to return to perfect clarity. When a log broke the bones across the author's forefoot at Thanksgiving, he used the letting go technique instead of getting a cast, and by Christmas, he was able to return to the dance floor.

Psychotherapy and Addictions

The letting go technique greatly accelerates therapeutic progress and assists recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous by providing a practical method for turning willpower over to a higher power. Psychotherapists find that the technique helps patients work through self-limitations faster while protecting therapists from counter-transference and stress-related illnesses. In the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, surrender helps dismantle the drivenness and attachments underlying compulsions. Psychotherapists who studied the technique reported 100% positive evaluations.

Ultimate Surrender and Enlightenment

Continuous, non-stop surrender to every feeling, desire, and thought as it arises eventually removes all internal resistance and reveals the Ultimate Reality of the Presence. Deep spiritual work requires a relentless commitment to letting go of the desire to control or change the present moment. When all resistance ceases, an infinite space of peace and timelessness is experienced.

The mechanism of letting go does not conflict with any religion or spiritual pathway. It removes the internal blocks, such as guilt and negativity, that prevent spiritual advancement. All major religions and spiritual traditions aim to dissolve the small self or the ego. Letting go of negative feelings and the universal sense of guilt facilitates the exact direction that religious teachings encourage.

The author recalls a period of nonstop surrender lasting 11 days, sitting and releasing every thought, feeling, and memory regarding a severe attachment until it was gone forever. A feeling peaks and can be let go in just 1/10000th of a second.

10. Kinesiologic Testing and Author's Note

Kinesiologic muscle testing provides an objective method to verify truth, while personal surrender of the ego unlocks the infinite power of pure awareness.

Muscle Testing Procedure

Kinesiologic muscle testing provides a rapid physical yes-or-no response to stimuli based on whether a substance or statement is true and beneficial or false and harmful. The tester states a proposition and commands the subject to resist while pressing down lightly on the extended arm. Beneficial or true stimuli result in a strong arm, whereas false or harmful stimuli cause the arm to go weak instantly.

Testing can be performed using standard tester-subject pairing, the O-ring method alone, or by noting the relative ease or difficulty of lifting a heavy object while holding true versus false statements in mind. The critical threshold dividing constructive truth from destructive falsehood on the scale of human consciousness is calibrated at the level of 200. Everything calibrating above 200 makes the test subject go strong because it is pro-life and true. Anything calibrating below 200 causes the arm to go weak. Ramana Maharshi's teachings calibrate over 700, whereas lower negative states and certain skeptical research designs calibrate well below 200.

Conditions and Calibration

Accurate kinesiologic testing requires that both the tester and the test subject calibrate above 200 and maintain a stance of clinical detachment. If either party or the intention behind the test calibrates below 200, or if there is a subjective desire to prove a point rather than seek truth, error rates increase significantly. At calibration 200, online discussion groups showed a 30 percent chance of error due to lack of detachment or improper phrasing.

Negative scientific studies of kinesiologic testing stem from negative bias and investigators whose own research designs calibrate below the truth threshold. Investigators who harbor cynicism produce negative results because their underlying presuppositions calibrate below 200, which paradoxically confirms the validity of the testing method. Francis Crick's research design for discovering the DNA double helix calibrated at 440, whereas his later design intended to prove consciousness is merely neuronal activity calibrated at only 135. Muscle testing responses are an impersonal reaction of universal consciousness rather than a localized physiological reflex. The response occurs identically whether statements are spoken aloud or held silently in mind, proving that personal opinions do not influence the outcome.

Autobiographic Transformation

Early mystical experiences of infinite peace and love can radically alter your perception of conventional reality and religion. At age 15, David Hawkins was caught in a Wisconsin blizzard as a paperboy, dug into a snowbank, and experienced an illuminated state of peace beyond time. Facing imminent death from a fatal illness can trigger a complete surrender of the ego, resulting in a permanent shift to identification with the Infinite Presence. At age 38, suffering from a progressive illness and extreme anguish, Dr. Hawkins surrendered to God, waking up transformed with his ego completely replaced by an Infinite Presence.

Recognizing that human emotional suffering stems from identifying with your personality allows a practitioner to address disorders through unconditioned love and compassion. Reaching the state of pure awareness requires an intense desire, disciplined universal forgiveness, compassion, and the systematic surrender of personal will.

Conclusion

Letting go integrates emotional release with spiritual awakening by dissolving the ego's resistance and revealing your inherent state of peace. The ideas fit together as a comprehensive roadmap for moving from survival-driven emotional suppression to unconditional love and profound surrender. You can transform every area of your life by addressing the hidden inner causes of your limitations instead of fighting external circumstances. The practice requires continuous vigilance, radical self-honesty, and a willingness to feel whatever arises without judgment.

To apply these principles in your daily life, follow these practical rules:

  1. Focus entirely on the feeling itself rather than analyzing the thoughts or external events that seem to trigger it.
  2. Drop all resistance and allow the energy of the emotion to be present without trying to modify, escape, or suppress it.
  3. Surrender expectations and drop the desire to control outcomes, recognizing that attachment to specific results creates continuous inner pressure.
  4. Take full personal responsibility for your inner state instead of blaming other people or past circumstances for your emotional distress.
  5. Apply the mechanism of letting go continuously throughout the day, treating emotional release as a natural lifestyle rather than a temporary fix.
  6. Practice radical forgiveness toward yourself and others, dropping grievances and judgments to clear the pathways for higher states of consciousness.
  7. Verify truth from within by trusting your inner awareness and using simple validation methods when faced with conflicting beliefs.
  8. Surrender the need for approval, validation, and material attachments, allowing true abundance and peace to emerge naturally from your core.
