To rid yourself of your resentment, I
suggest the following exercise which has been tried and tested. Choose a moment
when you are calm and relaxed. If necessary, relax for a few minutes
beforehand. Close your eyes and say aloud:
I forgive … (the person you resent the most,
whether they are from your past or present, whether they are alive or dead), and I forgive you for … (what they did
or what you believe they did to you).
Repeat this phrase and allow love to take
the place of any other feelings. Repeat the exercise at least twice a week until you no longer feel any
resistance within you. When you have achieved a sense of re-established harmony
and good will, visualise the person concerned once more. They are standing in
front of you and you say:
Thank
you, now I release you.
Do this exercise for 5 to 10 minutes. Look
deep into your heart to discover the feelings of injustice that it still
harbours and allow them to dissipate. When you feel sufficiently free, turn
your attention to yourself. Say aloud:
I forgive
myself for …
Practice these exercises sincerely even
though they may initially appear simple, not to say “simplistic". You will
soon notice that they are in fact extremely
powerful and remarkably effective.
