I need something that I can do everyday that shows me, over time, that I am clearing out my fixed negative energies.
Be it meditation, EFT, and the more "in-your-face" practices.

Agree with you Gnosis.
Ramesh Balsekar said "A spiritual teaching is of no value if it is of no benefit to you in this world."
I cant say that I am good at meditating.
What has worked for me is refraining from commenting in my head on everything I see.
Some posts back I mentioned just watching ducks totally focused and aware without comment. Once I had the hang of silent witnessing I started applying that to interaction with others. If I cant improve upon the silence why speak?
It has taken time but through applying the twelve steps of AA (anyone can), the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and more recently Dr David Hawkins my mind and therefore my life has become peaceful and thats a big contrast from being an agitated being.
I read the books on N.L.P. (Neuro linguistic programming) studied ego and behaviour patterns in books such as "Negotiation of parts" Qualified as a Hypnotherapist at St Annes Hospital. My life was a search for a better way of being after recovering from Alcoholism.
There is no quick fix but a steady progression is possible.
Dr David Hawkins work is very clear as to how to transcend the the ego and raise your consciousness. Its a question of removing the clouds (negativity) to let the sun which is allways presen,t shine through.
If enlightenment is the goal, you must become willing to let all belief systems, all concepts all positionality all judgement of others go, Then the true self will be realized.
its just not possible to do all tis without surrender to the Power of God.
