Become self aware by remembering and forgiving the traumas and disappointments

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time alone
  1. Step 1

    Sit alone in a quiet and peaceful place. Some times this is indoors and sometimes it is outdoors. A journal is a helpful tool for this process.

  2. Step 2

    Start with today and a frustrating moment... begin to remember other times that you felt that way. You can be organized or random in remembering, but notice what your emotions are about the events.

  3. Step 3

    Writing down the events and your emotions is just a beginning. Start to keep going back in your memories until you retrace the first time you ever felt that way. Breathe deeply as you experience your memories. Affirm them as a part of the past...imagine the memory fading like clouds clearing from a gusty breeze. Be in the present moment. What do you notice right now? What is around you? What about your well-being? What do you see and hear in this present moment?

  4. Step 4

    Don't allow yourself to get tangled up in analyzing. Just be self-aware. Accept your feelings and accept yourself and others. This practice alone will resolve alot of conflicts, troubles, and traumas. Forgiveness and letting go will be the focus of the healing process.

Tips & Warnings
  • Practice for awhile alone before sharing your practice with others. Let others notice the changes in you as a guide to when you will help others heal.
  • Finding a peaceful place to practice your healing process without interruptions may be a challenge. Maybe you will feel you just don't have any time to do it. That is the problem. If you find time to use the bathroom...well I think you get the idea. Eventually you will figure out times and places that fit your lifestyle.. While in the shower or driving even cooking is better than not at all. Eventually you will find times and places that you can be still to focus all your energy on the practice. Allow the frustrations to return as part of the practice and continue your process... Allow, accept, awareness, forgiveness, letting go.
  • Namaste
