If I’m looking at a person I’m facilitating, and after inviting either them or their body to let go of a self-judgement I can see in their face, demeanour and body language that they still don’t feel any happier or lighter, I ask them this follow-up question, to which I pretty much already know the answer:
Has it gone?
If they are really on the ball they might say to me, “That hasn’t gone, James, shall we ask again?”
But usually people have a bit of fear of failing to let something go, so it’s up to me (or whoever is facilitating them – it may even be you!) to notice from their body language, facial expressions and such like if they haven’t shifted the thing, ultimately trusting Awareness on that.
This is quite easy most of the time, because when people do let things go there’s a visible relaxation, even a subtle ‘celebration’, which is notably conspicuous by its absence when it doesn’t happen.
