New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| We've all had a bad relationship, whether with a lover, friend, family member, or coworker. These relationships leave us with negative feelings, like anger, resentment, and guilt. We might not be able to heal the relationship, but we can heal ourselves. Forgiving ourselves for these negative feelings is necessary for us to move on.
Write down on a piece of paper all of the negative feelings you have regarding a particular relationship. Don't be afraid to admit them to yourself. This can sometimes be the hardest aspect of moving on-admitting what you are capable of. Roll up the piece of paper and tie it closed with a black ribbon. Place it into a fireproof container and set it on fire. As the paper burns, say: "These feelings have taken over, Making my heart heavy and sad. Burn them away, Remove them, And cleanse my heart and soul. Allow my heart to forgive and heal. This is my wish, So mote it be." Repeat this chant for as long as you feel is necessary. |
