  • Long term resentment can destroy us.
  • There are things we can do other than running our minds over and over on our negative feelings.
  • Some people may be holding resentment for years or decades.
  • The good news is you can do something about it.
  • We are responsible for replaying our resentment and negative thoughts.
  • Mindfulness and mediation are two good ways to start.
  • Meditation is where you select a special space to work on your mind and thoughts.
  • During this time we’ll say good bye to all the things that we are seeing, smelling, tasting, touching and the rest. We withdraw from that.

Process:

  • Close your eyes.
  • Sit very still.
  • Let go of everything outside.
  • Let’s go digging inside, cause if resentment is in us, and the anxiety that comes from it is in us, let go find and undo it.
  • Meditation and mindfulness is a powerful tool to help us.
  • Get in a comfortable position but not too comfortable if you are sleepy.
  • You want your thoughts to be placed on your mind.
  • The thing that is not physical, your emotions, your feelings, your sensations, the energies that come in and out.
  • As we get there the mind will distract us.
  • As we sit in mediation, withdraw. close your eyes.
  • We’ll start thinking cause the mind is busy, thinking all the time.
  • Lifting resentment — what a weight off my shoulders.
  • Settle your body in a nice mediation position.
  • Relax and take a deep long breath.
  • Now inhale, fill up everything, hold it for a little bit. and then exhale and let it all out.
  • Hold for four, exhale for four hold for four seconds. do this for about ten rounds.
  • In your mind you see a future time, in the distance you see a future you. Maybe six months, a year or five years’ time. The future you have no resentment.
  • Seeing yourself as resentment free is called future refuge.
  • Your future self has confidence.
  • Let that visualization sink into your mind, the possibility of being resentment free. have a nice exhale and then do a stretch. whatever you need to do.
  • Once the body is settled, withdraw from everything. Nothing to see, our job is to be aware of our body.
