The process of knowing your place in the world begins by sifting through untruths and letting go of who you are not. It’s the first step to healing and the portal to emotional and spiritual expansion.
Ask Yourself: What’s the one thing that you believe about yourself that may be holding you back? Perhaps they’re stories you were told, some passed down generationally. They may be physical, emotional or spiritual barriers.
That “thing” whatever it may be, is not your truth. It’s a story you’ve told yourself over and over again, it became a part of you. In order to move forward…the act of emotional untethering is necessary.
A Simple Clearing: In a brief statement, write down that belief and say silently, “I release all negative thoughts that do not serve me. They do not belong to me and never have”. Tear it up, burn it, relinquish attachment. Be gentle with yourself, this process takes time.
In yoga, one of my favorite poses is at the end of practice. It’s called corpse pose. It allows for a time of surrender and for silence of the mind. Meditation is the gateway to self visualization, self actualization and is used as a powerful tool.

I wrote a very recent post on my take about it here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1226164
I mention in a self-reply that Nisargadatta's famous book "I Am That" is entirely based around presenting the false beliefs that keep us hooked to the programmed outer world, with Nisargadatta "unhooking" each concept, one by one, in his answers. In 500 pages, he covers most of the false concepts that keep us hooked up to the outer world.
Actually, when it comes down to it, all our concepts are false, in that they're purely mental constructions, and so cannot be true in any way.
I've found my spiritual home at last in Advaita. The seeker has stopped. 
On edit: I also put up a post about how this practice of discovering who you are not can be used by people who are in despair over various problems in the world:
