One of the most powerful methods I’ve ever learnt (and now teach all of my coaching clients), which makes the biggest difference for everyone is…
“The Inner Salam Method”.
The Inner Salam Method is a way of channeling your presence and awareness into a negative feeling, no matter how intense it is, as it arises. Within a few minutes, the feeling has literally completely disappeared.
Here is why I believe everybody should learn the Inner Salam Method and why I hope one day it will be taught in schools to all our kids:
- When you’re feeling really bad, you tend to not perform as your best self. You are much more likely to say and do things that you don’t really mean and that hurt other people.
- When you’re totally caught up in a big negative feeling, it’s a little bit like being drunk. You’re very likely to say mean things, misinterpret what other people say and do… and you probably shouldn’t operate heavy machinery.
- There is no more direct and effective way to quickly and completely deal with negativity than using the Inner Salam Method – it gives you the ability to dissolve the negative feelings in the light of your presence.
- A lot of people talk about “letting go”. In fact, there’s even a really famous song from the Disney movie “Frozen” about it. But most people still don’t know how to actually do it in reality. The Inner Salam Method is the “how”.
- Immediately after completing the Inner Salam method, lower negative feelings are replaced with higher feelings like freedom, relief, peace, and happiness. After people complete the process and reach this state, I sometimes welcome them back to “Islam” – the state of inner peace that comes from being fully surrendered to Allah’s will
- Lower motivations are replaced with higher ones, e.g., the difference between praying out of guilt and obligation versus praying out of gratitude and love; or studying just to pass an exam and impress people with your knowledge versus studying with a deep love and appreciation for the knowledge itself
- Lower thinking is replaced with higher, clearer, better thinking and ideas. Your best ideas when you’re down in the dumps are usually pretty dumb compared to your best ideas when you’re clear-headed, happy, and uplifted. The Inner Salam Method clears up all the negativity so you can think more clearly and be blessed with fresh, new insight.
- Negative feelings can sometimes be extremely difficult and painful. The only reason we suffer from them is because we don’t know how to let them go. Mastering the Inner Salam Method solves that forever.
- Permanently eliminate emotional fear. All of our fears are just fears of feelings. When you know how to let go of the negative feelings you’re afraid of, you realize there’s actually nothing to fear, because if anything “bad” happens in the future, the worst consequence will be a feeling. And with the Inner Salam Method, you now know exactly how to deal with those negative feelings if and when they arise.
- It remove the biggest block to presence – it’s extremely hard to keep your mind in the present moment for more than a few seconds, when you feel sad, upset, frustrated, guilty or anxious. By clearing out these feelings directly when they arise, it becomes much easier and much more enjoyable to live in the present – and feel spiritually connected with Allah.
If you want to know exactly how to do the Inner Salam Method and begin the process of mastering it so that you can do it on your own any time a negative feeling arises, then you’ll want to be part of tonight’s Nafs Mastery Session.
