I heard John Morton say \u2013 and this is how I remember it — you can let go of something that\u2019s been upsetting you as simply as saying \u201cPoof\u201d and it\u2019s gone.\u00a0 This was a bit of a contrast to my historical hanging on to upsets, so I thought I would try it out for a few days.<\/p>\n
The most effective part of this was replaying my internal tape recorder and hearing John saying \u201cPoof\u201d.\u00a0 My attention immediately shifted from the upset and mental chatter to giggling with Spirit.<\/p>\n
When I got agitated with my husband moving so slowly we were going to be late\u2026 I said \u201cPoof\u201d and laughed inside.<\/p>\n
When a friend spoke over me for the third time, I paused and said \u201cPoof\u201d and immediately experienced an internal grin which dissolved my physical tension.<\/p>\n
I then found a fellow minister deeply distressed by an ongoing upset.\u00a0 I explained that there was a magic word that could help it all vanish.\u00a0 In a serious voice she said: \u201cWhat is it, I want to hear that magic word right now please.\u201d<\/p>\n
I replied \u201cAre you sure you are ready? It\u2019s very powerful, and once it is said the upset will be gone.\u00a0 Are you ready to release it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, yes, tell me the word!\u201d she responded.<\/p>\n
After a small delay I said \u201cPOOF\u201d and waited in the atmosphere of her shocked silence.\u00a0 Then came the laughter and the energy changed to a beautiful presence of Spirit, of loving and of lightness.\u00a0 We laughed and laughed.<\/p>\n
Thanks John, this has really helped me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
