Message:   Dear Chuck,

I have been letting go of my thinking mind as often as possible in the last couple of months. I have been focussing outward, observing trees etc without judgement or evaluation.

Still, I keep getting triggered into a dark depression every few days, that lasts a couple of days at a time. A single, instantaneous negative perception is enough to bring the depression on.

When it happens, I let go of the thinking as soon as I can and go into the observer, breathing deeply into the feelings as you have explained in phase 2.

My trouble is that the breathing doesn't seem to change anything. The depression just hangs around in my throat and abdomen, and has never once turned into grief. I think that means that I am not actually releasing anything. And it is very hard to live functionally with all that darkness hanging around (as I am sure you understand)

It is as if I have a massive wall up and have thrown away the key.

I have read phases 1-3 several times now, and am not sure what to do next, other than to keep trying to let go of the mind.

Do you have any suggestions?

Chris, Queensland Australia

thanks a lot mate
