Tony Gaschler - EL-Method

However, true happiness is only within reach if you have the opportunity for self-realization within your environment, within society. And this is where the EL Method you now hold in your hands comes into play. Because it is especially emotional and social inhibitions that prevent, delay, or hinder any true and liberated self-actualization and with that any true feelings of happiness. This means that the many emotional and social development inhibitions and barriers have to be eliminated and replaced by self-confidence, freedom of expression, and self-assurance before the normal and natural state of consciousness can result all by itself. And this is the primary task and objective of the EL Method.

Humans are social creatures. Individuals can experience true self-development and self-fulfillment only within human society. True feelings of happiness always require the participation of other people as well. A person who withdraws from society into the shell of his or her own little “ego” either can never experience true happiness nor is that person capable of optimal self-fulfillment and development.

Negative emotional and social inhibitions isolate and separate a person from human society. They prevent the active and full participation in life and are a barrier to human interaction. Negative emotional and social inhibitions are thus the actual chief enemy of every true feeling of happiness and satisfaction and of every actual self-fulfillment. These negative emotional and social inhibitions have to be eliminated to return a person to a state where development and self-fulfillment is possible. The EL Method makes all of this possible, which renders this method not only a disinhibiting and liberating method but a development and self-fulfillment method as well.

The principle of life active within every person is:

>> STRIVING TO BE HAPPY AND TO FIND SELF-FULFILLMENT WITHIN HUMAN SOCIETY AND ONE’S COMMUNITY!

Happiness is the normal and natural state of consciousness of human beings. However, happiness is possible only whenever and wherever an individual has the opportunity for optimal self-development within society. And optimal self-development in turn is only possible if the individual is without bothersome inhibitions and thus can participate freely in societal activities and the life of his or her community. In other words: Happiness and self-fulfillment are possible only if negative emotional and social inhibitions are replaced by positive and development-fostering properties such as confidence, assured behavior, freedom of expression, and self-assurance.

Negative social and emotional inhibitions are always development inhibitions. They prevent self-development and self-fulfillment within human society and thus also prevent that the natural and normal state of mind of humans - feelings of happiness - can ever take root. Such negative development inhibitions are as follows: A sense of insecurity in society, fear of public speaking, blushing, fear of supervisors and superiors, feelings of shyness or self-consciousness in front of the other sex, feelings of low self-esteem, misplaced shame and guilt, fear of people, lack of courage, shyness, lack of social contact, fear of expressing your feelings or speaking up, uncertain how to express yourself, panic attacks caused by certain people or situations, unable to look others in the face, lack of composure, feelings of anxiety, tenseness, fear of exams or crowds or overfilled rooms, fear of stating your own opinion, breaking out in sweat due to encountering certain people or situations, fear of engaging someone in a conversations, lack of willpower, easily swayed, hypersensitivity, lack of decisiveness, overemotional, etc.

All of these and many similar symptoms are development inhibitions. They have to be removed, replaced with free, liberated, uninhibited, and self-assured behavior and speech patterns. An actual and true, optimal self-development and self-fulfillment within society is possible only then. Only then will you be able to participate fully in society. And only then will you be a liberated and happy human being.

Emotional and social inhibitions are not a disease or illness. They are nothing more than impractical habitual behavior patterns that act as a barrier and hindrance to your self-fulfillment and personal development. Inhibited individuals react to their environment and fellow human beings according to these acquired behavior patterns (subconsciously-automatically), which consist of inhibitions and inhibition symptoms. In scientific terms: Emotional and social inhibitions are impractical and development-hindering REACTION SYSTEMS, which take place automatically within the subconscious. People react towards their environment and fellow human beings with the same habits and reactions LEARNED during childhood. Inhibited individuals react with inhibited reaction and behavior patterns.

A free and liberated individual reacts with free and liberated reaction and behavior patterns. Inhibiting and hindering reaction systems can be changed into liberated and self-assured reaction systems using systematic exercises - even with adults. Systematic training means: REPROGRAMMING LEARNED BEHAVIOR PATTERNS!

However, in order for this relearning and reprogramming of positive and development-fostering reaction systems (behavior patterns/habits) to take as little time as possible, the EL Method applies especially effective exercises. These exercises will yield definite effects in just a few days and result in a completely new and liberated, self-confident behavior after only a few weeks. Negative and development-hindering reaction systems will be converted into new and positive, development-fostering reaction systems in the shortest time possible. These new reaction systems will provide the sound basis for all your new subconscious and automatic liberated and self-assured behavior patterns. Previous inhibitions and inhibition symptoms will disappear on their own.

However, the purpose of the EL Method is not to force you to make these changes consciously, to act out liberated and self-confident behavior patterns consciously and with effort. Certainly not! That would be too cumbersome, quite impractical, and rather strenuous as well.

The exercises of the EL Method will show their first effects in a very short time with these new behavior patterns taking root in your subconscious automatically, which results in confident and self-assured behavior all by itself, just as if it were a normal habit. The two keywords are: SUBCOSCIOUS and AUTOMATIC. And this is what makes using and applying this method so very easy. With each exercise you will notice clearly how your previous inhibitions are decreasing progressively, are becoming weaker, until they occur only rarely and finally stop and disappear altogether. Your positive attributes and abilities will increase at the same time. Your confidence level will increase, your self-assurance and ability to express yourself freely, as well as your courage and sociability will increase until the goal of the EL Method has been achieved in its entirety. That is how the Emotional Liberation Method works. The first significant effects can be seen and felt after just a few exercises. These effects then start to accumulate with each day that passes until your full success is within easy each after 6 to 10 weeks. Eventually, depending on the type and severity of your inhibitions and inhibition symptoms, final success is guaranteed. Our experiences have shown that individuals with severe inhibitions reach their goal faster than those with only slight inhibitions. This is because severely inhibited individuals are usually more devoted to carrying out the prescribed exercises exactly as instructed and with more intensity than a person with light inhibitions who easily becomes “more sloppy” when it comes to doing the exercises correctly.
