The Teacher said,
"When you begin the instruction of a new student, do not tell him to release negativity. He would probably misinterpret your teaching and try to suppress his negative feelings. This is how most people deal with fear, anger, and stress. The result of course is that negativity builds up under pressure, which leads to increased stress, anger, and dis-ease."
" Tell your student instead to express his negative feelings to you. You can absorb and release them, and your student will feel his burden lightened. In this way we teach the student not to deny negativity but to be mindful of it without becoming attached to it. He will no longer need to feel unworthy because of his natural sentiments, by being released they will not fester and grow into bigger problems."
"As he becomes increasingly mindful of his negative thoughts and feelings, he will learn to recognize and release them at an earlier stage, before their destructive power has been magnified by being suppressed. This will lead to his feeling less threatened by them, and enable him to learn to release them more easily. Eventually he will learn to distinguish between those thoughts which require him to take action to remedy an undesirable external condition, and those which are unnecessary whinings of the egoic mind."
"These last he will eventually be able to release without even expressing them verbally. For those thoughts requiring action, he will be able to act without rancor or fear, without the pressure of so many other repressed complaints."
