Techniques for Releasing Stuck Emotions: Jeff Delone

·1 hr 11 min·4 clips

Jeff says attachment and aversion can run a life, even when people think they are making free choices.

1. Spiritual Sexual Shamanic Podcast features Jeff DeLone on releasing stuck emotions through breath, body awareness, and the release technique. 2. Host Simon Marvell interviews Jeff DeLone, who thanks ISTA and Laurie Handlers and explains why her influence mattered over 30 years. 3. The episode asks how people move out of suppression, fear, and self-disapproval when the mind keeps looping on the same problem. 4. Jeff says he was born in 1955, raised in Media, Pennsylvania, and grew up in a six-child Irish Catholic family with four sisters and a brother. 5. He describes his father as focused on education and Catholicism, while he felt emotionally on his own and suppressed from an early age. 6. Jeff recalls being a B-plus, A-minus student, a strong swimmer, and a prep-school outlier who felt he was never good enough. 7. He says quitting Ivy League school, traveling to Colorado and California, and later taking a corporate job did not change the mind chatter. 8. Jeff links his turning point to the S training, now Landmark Forum, which he says broke open his consciousness and changed his drinking and drug use. 9. He then moved into financial planning, got married, and tried to build a career while working through years of no success. 10. Jeff says his then-wife had bipolar illness, he got full custody of his two children when they were six years old and six months old, and he had to adjust fast. 11. He says a later relationship, his older daughter’s episode, and business mistakes all hit together and pushed him into deep anxiety and depression. 12. Jeff describes a year of struggling with sleep, function, and medication while neighbors and friends helped care for his children. 13. He says Irene worked with him for two hours a week, asking 'What are you feeling?' and teaching him to breathe and notice sensations. 14. Jeff frames emotion as something people suppress, escape, express, or release, and says release changes the pattern instead of only easing it briefly. 15. He describes using release with his older sister by writing down what each person did, what each denied, and then meeting her without revisiting the past. 16. Jeff says the relationship changed because his energy shifted toward acceptance and love, not because he argued the details again. 17. He credits Lester Levinson as the originator of the method and says Levinson had a massive heart attack in 1952 and then studied his own fear, approval-seeking, and control. 18. Jeff says Levinson later passed the work to Larry Crane and Dwell D’Awskin, who continued release technique and the Sedona method. 19. The tone is conversational and instructional, with Simon participating in live exercises and Jeff coaching step by step. 20. People wanting practical emotional tools and body-based exercises will get the most from this, while listeners wanting a short, purely theoretical chat may skip it.

As heard by us

A calm, practical episode about release as a choice, not a feeling.

Jeff DeLone's conversation keeps coming back to the same plain idea: release starts with small choices. Say yes or no. Let go of trying to fix everything at once. Notice the voice that keeps turning on itself.
