How to Empty Your Bag of Stones
How to Empty Your Bag of Stones
A step-by-step walk through the Mental Clearing Process
You've felt the weight. You've seen what it costs. Now here's what to do about it.
In this episode, Travis walks through the Mental Clearing Process step by step and not just the what, but the why behind each step. Why you have to feel it before you can release it. Why letting go isn't erasing. Why your mind holds on to things in the first place. And what it feels like when you finally clear something that has been sitting in your bag of stones for years or decades.
This episode includes Travis's own 5-day story of doing this work, and one of the most memorable metaphors in the series: a poisonous snake in your kitchen and what that has to do with forgiveness.

- Step 5: How to reframe, finding what's real, what's good, and what you were meant to learn
- Step 6: What forgiveness actually means and what it doesn't
- Step 7: Start over, repeat the process for each person or event until there's no energy left around it
